Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ (side story) On the other side of the table… ]

“So. “Are you telling me to go to the meeting as a substitute instead of you?”

“Cluck. “It’s good to understand right away.”

“What…”

Daein looked at Cheonmugeuk with an expression of bewilderment.

I wondered what was going on because they came into the restaurant out of nowhere and started bossing people around.

But isn’t that reason absolutely absurd?

‘Why am I going to the old men’s meeting!’

Daein had no desire to join this solo unit comprised of absolute experts with an average age of over 130 years.

So, I was planning to flatly refuse without even thinking about it, but…

wow.

Cheonmugeuk smiled meaningfully, wrapping his pot-like hand around his beloved disciple’s shoulder.

“Cluck. Disciple. “You won’t turn away from this teacher who’s in trouble, right?”

…My mouth is smiling, but why do I feel life in my eyes?

The great man said, breaking into a cold sweat.

“Master. “Can’t we first resolve this issue and then have a full-fledged constructive conversation?”

“There’s no way around it, you idiot. “I thought you wouldn’t know that if I let you go, I’m going to take you out.”

“What kind of teacher can’t trust his students like this! “If you come out like this, I too…!”

“It is no use even if we come out with an operation to target the enemy. “Are you going to watch me play around with you for a day or two?”

“…Tsk.”

Anyway, it was a problem even if we knew each other too well.

After bossaming Daein, Cheonmugeuk started by divination in preparation for him running away, and thanks to this, Daein had difficulty raising his magic power.

‘There’s nothing you can’t solve if you want to solve it, but…’

Since Cheonmugeuk was keeping his eyes wide open and watching to see if he was doing anything foolish, it seemed like it would be best not to try if possible.

Then another voice came between them.

“You feel sorry for us.”

Geomseong was sitting on a chair and looking at Daein with an apologetic expression.

“Miss Gunyang, that guy suddenly got caught in a poison spell. “There’s no one else I can ask for urgently other than you.”

Unlike the Heavenly Demon, Geomseong’s tone of voice was serious yet soft, and his back was straight like a bamboo.

“This is an agreement that has already been postponed several times, so wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the other party to postpone it any longer? “I had no choice but to bring you here, so I hope you understand.”

The words flowed like flowing water in the clearing, and the sight was truly a symbol of the martial arts faction.

However….

“Elder Sword Saint. Wouldn’t it be persuasive to say something like that while getting dressed up at the beauty salon in the morning? “It’s better to be honest about your desires like our teacher.”

“Hmm…”

Perhaps out of embarrassment, Geomseong turned away from Daein’s gaze.

Then the woman who was touching Geomseong’s head slapped him on the shoulder.

“Stay still! “What if I ruin my hair?”

“…I’m sorry.”

The elegant beauty who appeared to be in her mid-30s was Jang Young-shin’s mother.

She had been running a beauty salon since she and her son lived together in the past, and was currently running a beauty salon for superhumans at WH Group.

The martial arts masters are also regulars here, and this morning they rented out a hair salon.

To get dressed up in preparation for the final battle or meeting this evening!

“By the way, who is your meeting partner? “Have you seen the photo?”

She asked the Sword Saint with a mischievous smile.

“I don’t know the details. They are just elves from the continent of Gaia…”

“Oh my. An elf would be very pretty. So, Sword Saint, are you going to the cage now?”

The Sword Saint’s ears turned bright red.

“Keuhumhum! What’s going on in a cage at this age? It’s just an outing. It’s hard to refuse because it was a promise made a long time ago…”

“I’m embarrassed. But the elf who will meet the Sword Saint… I’m a little jealous.”

“What are you jealous of?”

“These days, there aren’t many men as kind as Sword Saint.”

“Hehehe. “Stop teasing me.”

The great man opened his mouth slightly as he looked at the two people, who felt tickled just by looking at them.

‘How… does that seem more likely than the meeting?’

One minor problem is that the age difference is about 100 years, but if you look at it at face value, the two seem to get along quite well.

“No, that guy…?”

“They say a well-behaved cat goes up to the stove first…”

Cheon Mu-geuk and Shin Chang wiggled their eyebrows, probably thinking the same thing.

They came to the same beauty salon, but Geomseong was the only one who made Jang Young-shin’s mother smile like that.

‘Hmm. How will Youngshin react if she finds out?’

Daein chuckled as he imagined Jang Youngshin standing awkwardly between his mother and stepdad.

And I thought as I looked back at Cheonma and Shinchang, who were sitting quietly waiting for their next turn.

‘I decided to set up a meeting. Actually, I had forgotten.’

…Honestly, it was a joke.

I had no idea that the absolute masters of Moorim would take it seriously.

So, after the war with the demon world was settled, I was so embarrassed when Cheonmugeuk asked, “So when are you having the meeting?”… After making excuses several times to postpone it, I finally asked Abraxas a while ago

. I finally made an appointment for a meeting after asking for it.

-Meeting? Do you think that would be fun?

Suddenly, I remembered Abraxas’ ominous expression at the time… but

anyway, I thought it was okay because I kept my promise, and I had completely forgotten about him since then.

The great man grinned as he looked at the old people, their excitement showing on their faces.

‘Is that why you want to go to Saejangga?…’

If Doksu Workshop is around 100 years old, it will be lonely.

All the women I knew of a similar age would have died, and I would be concerned about what people around me would think of me when I met women who were my granddaughter’s granddaughter.

“Challenge….”

“Hohoho!”

Looking at the Sword Saint, it doesn’t seem like anything in particular…

“But is the old man really okay?

The great man asked, remembering someone who was not present.

You are the enemy.

The Absolute One of the Tao, one of the Four Masters of Murim.

But now he is a pitiful old man living alone, lying in a hospital bed, wetting the blanket with tears.

“Isn’t the state of Juhwa Ilma-myeon quite serious? Can I leave you alone?…”

“Clark.” “There is nothing to worry about.”

I am a subject who has suffered for 100 years due to coinage in the past. Cheon Mu-geuk picked his ears and spoke as if it was no big deal.

“Medical technology has improved so much these days. I’ll probably shake it off in a month. Clack. “Even now, it’s not difficult to move if you put your mind to it.”

“Then you can go to meetings too?”

When Daein asked while tilting his head, Cheonmugeuk chuckled and said.

“Cluck. That guy’s face has aged drastically due to the side effects of the injection. How can an ugly guy go to meet his wife and children like that? “The water is cloudy.”

“Wow, that’s cruel….”

Sigh.

Cheon Mu-geuk said, giving his disciple his arm around his shoulder.

“anyway. All you have to do is quietly recite the greatness and achievements of this teacher from the side. Aren’t you interested in women anyway? yes? Right?”

“Yeah, well…”

It wasn’t anything in particular, but Daein nodded at the intangible pressure he felt from Cheonmugeuk.

‘I don’t think I was this shameless in the past…’

How did the charismatic Cheonma end up like this… He

was a great man who wouldn’t think it was because of him even if he died soon.

“haha. “Brother Chun, you raised one of your students well.”

Geomseong, who had finished trimming his hair, stood up and Cheonma, who had been waiting behind him, sat down in the hair salon chair.

The great man, who remembered someone from the sword saint’s younger appearance, asked.

“But now that I think about it, there’s Cheongwoon too, right? “Can’t you take him instead of me?”

Taegeuk Geomje Cheongun.

It was the name of the Murim lord, a close friend whom Daein had made in the martial arts world, and whose dark circles were getting worse day by day due to excessive work.

Geomseong shook his head, saying that was not possible.

“Isn’t Cheongwoon busy as the leader? And… isn’t he handsome?”

What did this old man just say?

Is he handsome? That means…

the great man furrowed his brows and asked.

“…Then what about me?”

“Hmm. Of course he’s handsome. “Don’t you think your facial features are very free-spirited?”

“…….”

It was difficult to tell whether it was an insult or a compliment when he said it in such a polite voice.

No, looking at the bad mood, it’s definitely an insult.

‘If it’s not for the old man, then…’

After a while, Cheon Mu-geuk, who had finished fixing his hair for the last time, said with a big smile.

“Cluck. Now that the hair is done, let’s go buy some clothes!”

The meeting was scheduled for early evening, but the three elderly people who had not slept in the morning woke up early in the morning and were busy making all kinds of preparations.

First, I went to the beauty salon to get my hair done, then I bought clothes at a department store that only VVIPs can go to, and went to buy and prepare various things to give gifts and surprise events to the elves who I hadn’t even seen yet.

‘I think you’re eating too much kimchi soup…’

Cheon Mu-geuk, who had been choosing clothes for a while, looked back at Dae-in and asked.

“Disciple. “How about you buy some clothes too?”

“I just need jeans and a shirt.”

The great man waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

While the three old men went inside to get dressed, Daein called Dowang, who was hospitalized, to check on his well-being.

“Elder. Are you feeling well? “I heard from your teacher that you suffered from poisonous poison.”

[It’s okay…. Did you hear anything about the meeting?]

The king’s voice over the phone was somewhat eerie, but Daein just ignored it, thinking it was because he was sick.

“Oh, that? “It just so happened that I decided to go out as an old man’s helper.”

[…You mean?]

“Yes. “It just happened to be like that.”

A moment later, maniacal laughter was heard from the other end of the phone.

[That’s right…. You’re taking my place… Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! This paints an interesting picture.]

“Yes?”

Why is this guy suddenly smiling like a villain?

The great man was puzzled, but the king hung up the phone, leaving only meaningful words.

[Kkkkkk. Thank you for the call. And tell it to those traitors. You will pay the price for abandoning your brothers… and I am sorry for you.]

“Yes? What?”

-Suddenly.

The phone was disconnected.

“…Did you hurt your head?”

Not long after I hung up the phone, I received a text message from Wang Guho.

-manager! Would you like to get together and party this weekend?

“The party is a mess….”

Daein sighed and sent a reply to Wang Guho.

As we exchanged messages without much thought, we even started talking about a meeting.

“…If word of this spreads, it will be bothersome.”

Daein felt like it was too late and sent a message to Wang Guho telling him to keep it a secret.

Until then, I couldn’t even imagine being a great person.

I wonder what kind of storm the phone calls and texts I exchanged with these two people will bring in a few hours.

***

“Cluck. Disciple! How about us?”

Cheonmugeuk, whose entire body was covered in luxury goods, spun around in front of the audience.

The Sword Fortress and Shinchang on either side of it were equally as ugly.

“Hmm…”

In short, a total mess.

In a situation where he had no idea where to start, Daein was speechless for a moment.

‘It’s not fashion to wear expensive things…’

“Why? Is it strange?”

“…no. “Do you look good on me?”

In the end, Daein decided to tell a white lie.

There wasn’t much time left until the scheduled meeting time, and I didn’t want to pour cold water on their excited mood.

…Honestly, it was annoying.

“Then let’s go to the meeting place.”

After a while, the four people crossed the gate and arrived at the meeting place.

Trees tens or hundreds of meters long towering into the sky.

The lush greenery and the sounds of all kinds of animals and birds coming from all directions.

And I saw translucent spirits flying freely through the forest.

“Cluck. “Here we go.”

“The energy of nature is very clean.”

The primeval forest of the Nostalgia Continent.

It was a land where nature and animal spirits lived in harmony, and it was one of the elves’ favorite places.

“The villa is this way.”

Daein skillfully guided the group.

The meeting place was one of his villas scattered across dozens of dimensions.

After a while, the group stopped in front of a cozy wooden building built in the middle of the forest.

The three old men were taken aback when they could already feel the four energies inside the building.

“It looks like he’s already here….”

“What can I do with this? “We had to arrive first and prepare a surprise event!”

“It’s not because you guys were procrastinating!”

The great man let out a small sigh at the sight of the old people panicking and not knowing what to do.

“I’ll go in first and take a look at the situation. “I’ll send you a message, so come prepared.”

“That’s right!”

“Just relax. “I was more nervous than when I was fighting the demon lords.”

The great man shook his head and went into the villa first, feeling relaxed and without any pressure.

‘I’m the bridesmaid anyway.’

I planned to go in first, say hello briefly, and ease the awkward atmosphere.

Suddenly.

The man who opened the door had a smile on his face and greeted the women inside.

“hello. “If we had known you would come first, we would have…”

At that moment, Daein’s body froze like a stone.

The four women sitting in their seats smiled in repentance when they saw this.

“Are you here? Vice President.”

“long time no see. Brother.”

“It’s harder to see your face than the king of a country.”

“Fuhu…”

On the other side of the table, Baek Young-hee, Nam Gung-hyeon, Alina, and Abraxas, who were barely holding back their bursting laughter, were sitting in a row.
