27 Strongest

"What, to you or your master's apprentice? It doesn't matter, I'll leave it to you or your master."

'We know that pretty well, too. I'm not trying to be tough on you. Trust is the only way to show you your abnegation. I'm not going to ask you to do anything you don't want.'

"You are our sword. As long as it is, we will only protect you. '

"'Toon lives in Doowe's mansion and eventually wants to get married? War, then. Ahhh!

Thus, permission had been granted with regard to Thoon's apprenticeship itself.

So a line of sopeds and batrabs was headed for the woods where my master lived.

"This neighborhood is not particularly valuable, so the native forest is spreading."

"They have quite a few in the country, but I don't think they live here like your master."

Both Hapine and the lady had such conversations in the carriage.

The thing and the rocking carriage came out the morning after that noise, and around evening it was on near the woods.

The forest itself is very vast, but the distance between the forest and the school is not so far away.

Of course. If I move so much, I won't have Rain anyway.

"Hey Dad. Did I meet my dad around here?

"Oh, yes, I am."

I'm going down an idyllic path that I don't think will be a war soon.

On the other hand, Eckezaks was naturally murderous.

"Eckezax......"

"... never mind, my lord is you. There can be no such thing as a saddle change... but it's a strange story that the sword will saddle the Lord."

For me, even a respected master, for her, is the man who abandoned herself. You have somewhere to think.

Or it's a terrible story to think about again. She is the strength herself that she discarded for her master, and I am the successor to the strength cultivated afterwards. Then there's no way it fits the story.

Or like the master should have been a little more concerned. We're going to live a long time with each other, and I wonder if we needed consideration.

"I also saw with these eyes the strength after you abandoned me. I'm not so thick and shameless as to beg someone I can't win. This is my apprentice, I can't imagine how high I am..."

That's right, instead of a wooden knife, they knocked down a proud swordsman with their bare hands. It is a truly pathetic story.

"Really, he's gotten stronger..."

"Uhm, a swordsman who has even gotten enough skill to let go of the Divine Sword...... looking forward to it"

Thoon is very excited. Sure, you're ahead of me in the sense of skill. You'll be surprised at the power.

On the other hand, there were people who were very twitchy, as if they were going to see the father of the person they married. In other words, it is a blower.

"Well... would a woman dressed as a man hate your master"

"It's okay, because I'm not interested"

"You did... so what about the smelly woman... I'm perfuming now, but I think it's a little sweaty"

"It's okay, 'cause I live in the woods"

"Should I have brought some souvenirs?"

"It's okay, because I don't have any appetite or appetite"

I care about a lot of things, but I'm fine. I'm surrounded by more animals and plants than any farmer there, so I don't have to go around it.

Rather, because he's someone who has more trouble being given something. Disconnection is not a level.

"Remember the old me, the first time we met? Because he's like that."

"Well... when it does, it's hard the other way around..."

"Well, you don't have to. My master is further away from the world than I am. When you say you want to marry me, you're usually happy."

"Oh, don't say that in front of everyone!

In fact, thanks to Thoon showing up, the likelihood that your daughter would marry me was greatly reduced.

Or I would finally pack it if I missed a toon. He's an uncompromising person, and the hurdles have gone up too far.

"In the woods is within the reach of the Master's enemy. Step in there and you'll come from your master"

"Okay... I guess you mean I saw something scary"

On a wild road close to the woods, the carriage stops.

So everyone goes down, and me and your people drop you off.

Everyone stays mixed with anxiety and expectations and goes into the deep woods.

"Are you sure you don't want to see your master"

"That's okay. My master won't be happy to see me."

I haven't raised Rain in public yet. I'm only half-service.

"Will your master forgive you for fulfilling your discipleship?

"I don't know. But... I'm sure I won't do anything wrong."

"Really..."

It was a deep forest. Instead of being managed by people, it was a native forest where no road even existed.

While some kind of adventurousness was tickled, the women who went into the woods were welcomed by the woods.

"It stinks... something smells so green, it stinks..."

"... the bug... the bug..."

"My shoes are already muddy"

"Poor guys, I didn't expect to make a sound in the woods to this extent. I don't think such a weak person can bear and raise a strong child. Wouldn't it?

Intense green odor of the forest, grasshoppers, or muddy ground.

You can tell because you actually step in, the 'otherworlds' called the woods.

I see how you can't get people here, which is a royal jurisdiction.

For the hassle of it, it's not too good.

"When I first met him, I finally understood why he was so dirty..."

"You were more of a beautiful person..."

"Damn......"

Many faces wore long-sleeved clothes and moveable shoes to enter the woods, including a line of sopeds, but that gets dirtier and dirtier.

The change is in the carriage, so if I go back, I can change without any problems, but still it doesn't make a difference that I'm dirty right now.

"Hey Doowe, what would you do then if it wasn't for Sansui's master? You haven't been home in five years, have you? Keep it up and you'll get lost..."

"I'll call him out loud then. Sansui is far away. If I'm in trouble, I'll be right there."

A power so natural that it doesn't even name it for a immortal, the ability to feel signs.

The ability to read surrounding information like radar, not vision.

That means that even if Doowe, the subject of escort, is far away, he can monitor its condition.

"... Hey, Saiga. What if you learned some fairy arts too?

"Happiness, it's on boulders..."

It is a technology that takes five hundred years to acquire. Even if we learn only the initial stuff, it's going to take fifty or a hundred years or so.

Festival I didn't feel long enough to reach for such a thing. Besides, in a situation where there were so many women I loved, I didn't have the nerve to get a life close to eternity.

"Um, ma'am"

"What is it, Blois?"

"I just realized that Sansui's master understands our proximity and approaches us from the other side,"

"Right."

"Then shouldn't we have waited as we went into the woods to some extent?

A line that was going back into the woods was stopping to hear the words.

Yes, the facades who were already walking the distance that would make them a hundred million when they thought about going back had finally stopped.

"... right"

"I don't think so!

Happiness sprinkling.

Yes, I didn't even want to see her master of mountain water that much on second thought, she was yelling like now.

If Eckezaks is going to meet his old owner, there's no way he's not going to accompany us at the Festival. Festival If I were to accompany her, I, too, was aware that she was making a fuss.

"Take it easy, Happyne. Whatever it is, go back first..."

"I'm not going back, but that makes me angry!

Hapine, growing up a lady and unfamiliar with dirt, is outraged, but seeing her like that Snae despised her as she shrugged.

"Oh, boy, you're freaking out about the seizures."

"Snae, that's not a very mildly insulting thing to say. Suppose it's someone you're looking after."

"Ah, brother..."

"Here we are Gentiles, not royalty. If you don't get around it, you're just like a shallow beggar."

One line was, for now, stopping for once.

Some sat on proper decaying trees, and others waited for the Immortal while standing.

And naturally, it was Eckezacks who looked like a girl.

"By the way, Divine Sword. I'd like to ask you something."

"What, Shadow Man"

"Who is Lord Suibok? Even before I knew you, I heard you were the strongest swordsman."

Thoon was asking Eckezacks, the only one who knew him.

Since the mountain water, which is the disciple, is plain, I can guess that the master is plain, but it would still be the humane thing to ask.

"... I used to be an innocent man. Maybe that didn't change even before we broke up."

People change. The time of ten years and twenty years changes people's minds and bodies too much.

If that's more than a thousand years of disconnection, maybe I can say she doesn't know Swivok.

All she can talk about is the swimbok of the far past she knows besides her appearance.

"He wanted to be strong, he wanted to be strongest, that's what he said. I liked that guy. But... he's changed. No, I mean, I changed, I got there."

"To what?

"Strongest. At the point before he broke up with me, he reached the point where the world had no enemies. to the goal of the strongest, and I can no longer imagine any more."

Hearing the words, Festival Me and Thoon had become empathetic.

An immortal swordsman who wants to be the strongest and hardest.

What should he have done after he became the strongest?

"The distressed guy was immersed in training to shake off his emptiness. You noticed while you were doing that, I'm here, I'm counting on you."

There was endless time to think.

Spending that time, she was reaching a truth she didn't want to admit.

And it showed up right in front of me.

"A swordsman with the strongest sword and the strongest skill is the strongest. The man who became it let go of his strongest sword. True strongest is what you don't choose tools for. Even the handless can defeat even the owner of the divine sword if they have that magical logic. I guess he went for it..."

"Don't buy me that, Eckezax. I mean, after all, he was so stupid that he couldn't help it."

Very quietly, a boy stood there as if he had been there all along, like a tree growing there.

The boy, dressed in crude dressing, was showing himself before them with an atmosphere of transcendence though.

Immortal of immortality, Swivok. A swordsman with a wooden knife down his waist was exposed to the same appearance as his disciple.

"Swimbok......"

"Long time no see, Eckezacks. Looks like they found a new lord, above all."

He was a boy with an atmosphere very similar to mountain waters. A swordsman who lived for more than a thousand and five hundred years, far from meshing with the age of appearance, spoke quietly.

"... sorry"

Surprisingly, it was Eckezacks who was apologizing. Abandoned, it was Eckezacks.

And she was apologizing to the boy in tears.

"I... was tired of an emptiness that I couldn't function on my own, but I didn't imagine your emptiness and nothingness for losing the goal I was aiming for, I was just denying you..."

"That's not true, Eckezacks. Non put his heart to you and didn't want to know it from you. I didn't want to show my weakness to you, who admitted to being the strongest swordsman... that you were immature."

The boy, who walked over quietly, was apologizing the same way, with the same gaze as the girl who cried and apologized.

"Now I'm sorry."

……

"Now, once again... you have my apprentice Sang-sui right in front of this forest. The fact that you are here on my guidance means that my apprentice is apparently taking care of you a lot. I can't even serve white water, but thank you first. Especially to the new Lord of Eckezacs."

The boys were all drained of poison and excitement by a very serene way of speaking.

I see, he was a Immortal Immortal, as I and Thoon imagined.

"I'm Doowe Sopede, my employer in Sansui. They hire Sansui as my escort. He's a very powerful swordsman. He's useful."

"Ho."

"Wow, I am! We're dating on the assumption of marriage! My name is Blois!

"Well, I'm married... well, that's nice to meet you"

He smiled a little unexpectedly and was responding to a tense blower.

Of course, I have a slight conjecture that Blois made a somewhat exaggerated statement.

"Um..."

"Well, is that the baby from that time? You've grown."

"Are you talking about me?

"Oh, I told you to grow it. I mourned the woman who took you."

"True, Mother..."

"Maybe it's a nanny. She was a strong woman who tried to protect you, even though she was eaten by wolves. Thank you."

He was also smiling at Rayne and talking to the man who was paying the most attention to himself again on top of that.

"... a swordsman?

"In no way, a swordsman who dwells in shadow mind and deals with shadow unloading. My name is Majan-Ton."

"Right... Swordsman"

The swordsman, who had been bareback for a thousand and five hundred years, seemed happy with the swordsman who had been born since he cut off from the world.

"Yes or no... after a thousand or five hundred years since I was there is still a swordsman"

"What does that... mean"

"No, what. The world of men has shifted, and I already thought that there was nothing to aspire to, such as a swordsman, and that it might no longer be a relic of the past, such as someone like me... I wonder if, yes, there are still those who love the sword, I'm glad..."

minutes, a thousand and five hundred years. Too many countries were interested and disappeared.

It is not surprising at all that in the meantime the way people are present has changed dramatically.

It's natural in a way to throw away a sword or something and be using a whole new weapon.

But it's still there. I have someone using a sword just like myself. That's what makes me happy.

"Did you even see the painful eyes fighting Sansui?

"Yes... I was also told in my hometown that I had no enemies, but I couldn't stand my teeth"

"Oh well... Were Non's disciples strong?"

"I asked you because I wanted to ask you for guidance, knowing that this would hinder your training."

On one knee, thank you.

The swordsman was honored and thankful to the immortal far ahead of his sword.

"I want to hear why. Why don't you go home and get Kaoru from your teacher again?

"It's..."

Probably Swivok asking the same thing as mountain waters in essence.

In contrast, Thoon had answered to shake it off, even though he was lost.

"I... have been running away"

Snae, like no other, was the most shocked by the words.

No, everyone who knew Thoon, a cool and refreshing swordsman, was surprised by the confession.

"I was praised as no enemy in my hometown for taking the sword. From many, he received an unfalse praise. But... I did have feelings that I couldn't contain myself."

In a public class the other day, Wang Chi's sister was defeated by the school director, who would also be the premier wizard in this country. The school director let me have the flowers. Can you tell me that there was nothing dark in my heart then?

"In our shadow descent, even if we skip the right to inherit the throne, it does not extend to the divine descent. I have no teeth in the divine descent that unites me with the royal guardian beast, such as my swordsmanship. That was something I knew for myself."

Simply, it's not offensive enough.

No matter how sharp the treasure sword in your hand was, you can't beat a divine descent that greatly raises your standards as an organism.

I can't beat many of my sisters and brothers who admire me.

"I have mastered the depths, but that was the limit. I do think as a swordsman I could have been a corner man. But leaving our country is more than wanting to test myself as a swordsman… perhaps I wanted to escape the divine descent, the 'strongest' right beside me"

Honest, heartfelt exudation.

Shameful, emotions that should not be put on the table.

He was telling his forefathers, his sister, and his exotic friends about his immaturity.

"At the same time that I thought I would be able to defeat your disciple and still be strong, it's not that I didn't think that this would be possible or that I would be able to beat God down. I don't... I don't want to kill my father or my sister, but I still don't want to give up when there's someone in this world that I can't beat."

"Hmm... right"

There is absolute trust in a swordsman named Mountain Water, whose face is nowhere near a glance.

And the swordsman, who said unto him, was glad to hear the word.

"The strongest... right, right? Did you see Sansui and want to learn that sword"

"Yes......"

"So what do you think 'the strongest' is?

I've heard something very, very rooted.

"I became Lord of Eckezax..."

"It's a feast."

"Oh, Saiga. What do you think? The sword you deal with is certainly the strongest sword. You will be able to improve all the many energies that reside in you. You're strong enough to have it."

I call the "strongest" that I once threw away, and Swivok is still the strongest.

"I thought so... but I couldn't beat your apprentice..."

"Well, I think you deserve to call it the strongest."

In the face of Bathrub, the words are now also white.

Because the man in front of you is far above that most powerful.

"In the first place, how do you define the strongest? To be called that there is no one lined up in one country? Or to extremes of the strongest depths?

I know it is, in itself, very difficult. We know that those who are talented will be able to train themselves and finally arrive.

On top of that, when you look at the toon that has become it, it seems different.

"The one who gets a divine sword called the strongest and fixes all of the many magical theories?

"It's..."

"None of this is a mistake. For example, if winning a tournament of some kind is the strongest, and if winning a hundred fights against any opponent is the strongest, it's still good."

I guess that's the answer I got after worrying enough to let go of the sword I've been waving myself for years.

Many men ask for the strongest, the strongest, but there can be many.

"Everyone may think of Non as the strongest. The face of this occasion knows the strength of the disciple of Non, and he is also unwilling to ascertain the strength of the Non that his disciple is lifting. But... what if 2,000 years and 10,000 years of training show up before a thousand and a half hundred years of training in the woods?

And I said something that was uninterrupted.

Indeed, if immortals do not have a life span, some will live two thousand years or ten thousand years. I can't say I'm not there.

And if they were trying to extremes the sword, they could certainly be higher than the swimbok in front of them.

"Eckezacks, remember Pandora?

"Whatever."

"If anything wears Pandora in front of me now shows up, Non will have to escape, too. Without you, who is truncated, you will not be able to touch me."

Pandora, I hear that name. It's disastrous armor that Disuir keeps.

If someone is wearing it, they say they have no winning chance of swimming.

"There is no kiri if you think of it as' strongest ', such as the strongest. The strongest, that is, the goal and the ideal image."

A very simple and understandable answer came back.

I do have to convince myself of that.

"I have a desire to be stronger than I am today, and how do I want to be stronger, and how do I prove my strength? Whether it's crowning, profound or authorised, or breaking strong enemies or praise from the people, it's the ideals and goals that you portray, and it's important to strive for them."

The man, who gained the strength of no one in line in the world, from which he went further, spoke at all costs of the answers he had troubled and gained.

"If you want to kill someone, it's rather just the strongest and other shackles. Fight to kill, it's wrong to think. All you have to do is whisk your breath like a beast living in the wild and bite off your throat whistle at an alarming moment. The mind that wants to fight, the mind that wants to prove strength, is irrational in the first place."

If the purpose is to kill you, you can attack where you sleep with stones falling there.

All you have to do is break into the house so the escort can't find you, kill you unwittingly and leave.

No legendary sword or irresistible workout is needed. It's not the power to fight, it's the power to kill without fighting.

"Whether you slay with a magical sword or in the depths, whether the swordsmen cut it or the bad guys there cut it, people just end up dying. That's what weapons are for."

What an easy word to understand and a master of mountain water.

"Going for the strongest is what I like and do. Whether that's inferior to someone else, or lose in relation to meshing, that's all there is to it. It's weird that you spend your time trying to be the strongest, unproductive, and you think it was wrong for just one defeat or death."

It's fun to train. Working out is fun. Working hard is fun.

Going for the strongest is fun in itself, and you shouldn't complain or anything if you lose with it.

Sometimes you will lose without a hand or a leg, depending on a tongue match, a comparison of numbers, weather luck or number of people.

But if you were looking for the strongest, you wouldn't care.

Because I enjoyed my training days.

"That's why I'm happy. If you fell in love with the sword of my disciple, you would have admired me for the" strongest "that Non aspired to."

"... Yes, it was at first sight"

"Well, thank you"

Someone admired the surgical logic I created. I'm very happy with that.

That is why it was warm and the Master of Kensei was expecting juniors.

"Nonetheless, Non is unwilling to teach. Ask Sansui to work out."

"Is that... may I ask why?

On top of that, immortals tell you to disciple to your own disciples, not yourself.

Of course I'm not dissatisfied or complaining about Toon. The reason why Mountain Water doesn't want Toon to be a disciple is because he doesn't get permission from his master, and if his master tells him to teach, he has no reason to refuse.

But I was interested in why I didn't want to tell you.

"Hmm... To tell you the truth, I also know how Sansui feels about not wanting to take a disciple. For I have never thought to teach a sword to anyone who has only a limited lifespan."

It was an immortal word for a long time.

And mountain water was what I thought too.

"But I don't know what Non would say, but if someone with a limited lifespan can't use Non's sword, I don't think that's called swordsmanship."

"Not a sword, but a fairy talent?

"Um, number one... whatever the art logic, whatever the method of training, it should be as strong as it deserves if it's been going without a thousand or five hundred years. Didn't I?"

He was somewhat ashamed to say a drawback that he and his disciples were also aware of.

And when the pioneers speak naked, there are no other facets to deny.

That may be true, but shouldn't I say that?

"Yes, no... I was wondering if it could be done sooner, like a thousand or five hundred years of training..."

"That being said, I'm sorry I seem to deny the earlier example, but then there's both the surgical logic and the hedgehog. At least Non has been worried so much. Assuming those who live longer than Nan show up and fight, they're not going to be ready to lose. Isn't that just a comparison of patience? If you can only beat something younger than yourself, it's still far from surgical logic"

Suibok is also the man who painted his own strongest at the end of his misery.

If that 'strongest' is unconditionally inferior to the other person, who lives longer and trains longer than himself, that would make him feel bad.

It was an extremely personal reasoning, as opposed to what I realized earlier. Fighting and losing and dying is neither unlucky nor unhappy, but that leaves me no choice but to be dissatisfied with it.

"Besides, Sang-sui, the disciple of Non, is actually learning fast."

"I guess so... at least you were stronger than your lord when you broke up with me"

Eckezaks, no other, was answering by comparing the mountain waters to Suibok.

"Um, I can't remember how old I was, but I've only trained for five hundred years, and five hundred years ago, Xuan and his skills were mutual."

Faces with too large a scale and short lifespans are likely to stop thinking.

Speaking of which, even though Suibok had his own instruction, the mountain waters would have caught up with Suibok, who trained for a thousand years, in five hundred years.

I guess Swivok's instruction made sense in the sense that it improved more than twice as fast.

Of course, it means that neither is forever possible for a normal person.

"If so, I would be very good with my disciples. If you have talent and enthusiasm, you can master it within a limited lifespan. That's what I call original swordsmanship."

"It's..."

"Um, Non thinks he raised his disciple in public, as a swordsman as a immortal. If so, I want the disciple of Non to try to raise a human swordsman"

A swordsman who was training himself beyond a man's reason says that it is swordsmanship that a man can use, however.

If it's not the 'strongest' that people can point to, it's not the 'strongest'. They say it can't be an ideal image or a goal.

"So please, even from Non. Please take over the sword of Non's disciple and tell him next. That's what I call a living sword."
