Chapter 135 A Fruitful Ending
The next morning, my party members were waiting for breakfast. While they would normally chatter, everyone was silent and looking at Yeonju Go strangely. She was serving food, ignoring them, and her smile was wide. She even hummed, and I thought I knew the reason why.
“Here’s the meal.”
Yeonju Go’s voice was smooth as butter, and everyone let out a gasp at the food she set on the table. Normally, we had the A course that consisted of bread, soup, and a stew at breakfast. I ordered it since getting too full may cause problems during the morning’s work.
However, today’s food was even better than the C course, as I even saw a steak. Sangyong Shin spoke to Yeonju Go with an awkward smile.
“…You seem to be in a good mood.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“It’s amazing what you prepared in the morning.”
“It’s a special treat to get your strength up.”
“Hmm…”
Yeonju Go was about to continue, but I caught the glint in her eye and cleared my throat. She winked, and I felt the ghost of her lips on mine again before delving into the meal.
I was about to take a spoonful of soup when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I smiled as her steps were slower and less aggressive. It seemed that she had grabbed Sculrep right after I had gone out.
We all stared at her, and Yujung came down. She looked softer, and her hair had a soft red sheen. I smiled inwardly and looked at Yeonju Go, who looked surprised.
Yujung looked around at us before sitting at an empty spot at the table. My party members seemed to have realized her change, as she seemed to be in a slight trance.
Ansol spoke up after staring at Yujung for a while.
“Good, good morning.”
“Yes, have you had a good night’s sleep?”
“Yes…”
Yujung’s voice was peaceful, and while it was rare, I had heard that one’s personality could change dramatically right after one held a Demon Sword. Yujung was showing such signs. Had Sculrep had accepted her already? Ansol continued to observe Yujung anxiously, and Anhyun was the same as he spoke up.
“So, what brings you here all of a sudden. Have you finally decided-“
“Hey. Watch your mouth and eat.”
“What?”
Yujung ignored Anhyun’s flabbergasted reply and looked at me. I spoke to her.
“Why don’t you eat?”
“All right. Look at the feast.”
“Everyone. Let’s eat.”
I announced to the table and bit into a piece of steak. I was satisfied at the juicy morsel and thought Yujung and Sculrep would have talked to each other a lot yesterday. It seemed that Yujung and the Demon Sword suited each other better than I thought, as she had retained herself. It was not a bad start.
**
Everyone looked happy and satisfied as they drank tea. There were four, including me, at the table, and the others were Anhyun, Vivian, Sangyong Shin. While my members usually followed my orders after breakfast, there were people who were sitting even after the meal was over.
Hayeon had taken Ansol upstairs to train as usual, and it told me that while she recognized Yujung’s change, she rationally thought it was a good thing. Yeonju Go had cleared the table and taken some of the dishes back to the kitchen, and Yujung had followed her with her own dishes. Everyone looked surprised, but I was calm.
Yujung did not come out of the kitchen, and I intentionally kept out of the situation. However, I had observed that her eyes also glowed a faint red, and things were progressing fast. Yeonju Go came out of the kitchen for the rest of the dishes, and I could see that her smile had deepened. While others wanted to question her, I stopped them to let Yeonju Go do what she wanted.
“…What’s up with her?”
Anhyun grumbled, and Vivian replied with a yawn.
“Well, she seems to have changed for the better.”
“Yeah but…seeing her so…it’s awkward.”
I needed to organize things, as Yujung may come out at any moment.
“Anhyun. Are you going to sit around?”
“What?”
“Don’t you know why Yujung went after Yeonju Go?”
“That would be because of what you asked before. It’s been too long.”
While Anhyun shook his head, I could see that he was somewhat too confident about himself in his tone. I thought I needed to remind him that that may become fatal.
“The important thing is that Yujung has braced herself. Yeonju Go is a strong user, and I gave Yujung a strong weapon yesterday. Train hard, or she will catch up.”
Anhyun’s face turned serious as I spoke, and he looked downcast on hearing that I gave her a weapon.
“You favor her too much.”
“…And I gave you that spear and a rare case.”
“…Right. I was too far. I should train harder then.”
“Right, while rest is important, training is never enough during your first year. You have the record.”
“I read the interpretation, and since Vivian is here…”
Vivian looked annoyed at having her rest disturbed but slowly stood upon seeing my face. I could see Sangyong Shin stand up after her. I gathered everyone’s teacups as I spoke.
“I’ll take them back to the kitchen, and there will be a meeting about a new goal. Don’t be too lenient, and I hope you have a fruitful day.”
Anhyun and Sangyong answered back, but Vivian only nodded like she realized I was speaking to her. I took the teacups to the kitchen after sending others away. I was about to place the teacups with the dishes that were still unwashed when I heard a crashing sound and a grunt.
There was a door inside the kitchen, and I knew that Yeonju Go lived there. I could sense that the two had already started training.
“Stand up. One second.”
“Ah!”
“Don’t brandish your sword like that.”
I could hear Yeonju Go’s voice and Yujung’s scream. There were punching noises, and I had not known she would teach Yujung like this. However, I could see that Yeonju Go was earnest in her teaching and decided I would let her use her own teaching methods. I stared at the door before going out of the kitchen.
