Absolute Regression Chapter 673

Episode 673: The affection of a younger brother is invincible

The painting was excellent.
A famous painter had come to the market for various reasons and was making a living by painting. The painter’s skills were so good that he could be considered the main character of this story.

Anyone who looked at the picture could tell that the two people in the picture were Geommu-geuk and Geommu-yang.
Geommu-geuk looked straight at the picture, then to the side.

“No matter how I look at it, my brother is drawn more handsome.”

He unfolded a conspiracy theory while looking at the completed painting of the sword dance.

“Did you threaten the painter here with a phone call? If you don’t draw my brother better, I’ll make sure you never pick up a paintbrush again!”

The old painter just smiled. He had been painting here for a long time and had seen many people.
Maybe it was because he had seen so many people’s faces that he could now feel the person’s life just by looking at their face.

And today he had a special experience.
It was when he was drawing his brother’s face. He was a person who would say things so frivolously that it seemed like nothing.
Strangely, when he was drawing him, he felt like he was drawing a landscape rather than a portrait.

When I drew hair, I felt like I was drawing a reed field blowing in the wind, and when I drew eyes, I felt like I was drawing a vast ocean. I also drew snow-covered mountains covered with flurries of snow, and wastelands without a single blade of grass. I felt the four seasons, and the passage of time.

I’ve been drawing people’s faces my whole life, but this is the first time I’ve felt this way while drawing someone.

Geommuyang looked down at the result in silence.

Unlike his expressionless self, the younger brother in the picture was smiling brightly. It seems that he was always smiling while talking about all sorts of things. I like this picture.

“Okay, here’s the money.”

The blacksmith gave ten pieces of paper, but the old painter returned the money.

“It was fun drawing for the first time in a long time. I would like to give this painting as a gift.”

I didn’t want to put a price on the painting today. If I had to charge money, I thought it would be hundreds or thousands of times this amount.

When the painter bowed his head again as if he was sincerely asking for something, Geommuyang nodded.

“Do you know a place that makes folding chairs?”

The painter told me the location of the picture frame shop in the market street.

After saying goodbye to the painter, the two headed straight to the picture framing shop.
The face of the owner, who had been in the picture framing business his entire life, was filled with pride, and Geommuyang handed him a painting.

“Make it so that it can be hung on the wall. No matter how much it costs, make it the best.”
“The best. Then it will take some time. Come back in seven days.”

The black sheep looked at the black sheep.

“Until then, it will be infinite.”

In response to Geommu-geuk’s question, Geommu-yang spoke briefly to the owner and turned around.

“I will come in seven days.”

The two people who left the frame shop walked toward their residence.

“When did you learn how to play the danso?”
“In the past.”
“Does your father know?”

Geommuyang shook his head, but Geommugeuk thought differently.

“You know?”

Geommuyang looked at Geommu-geuk with an expression asking what he was talking about.

“You probably know that my brother can play an instrument.”

His brother didn’t seem to believe it, but he thought his father knew. When he first returned, his father also knew that he had been poisoned by the mountain spirit. He
pretended not to know, but Geommu-geuk knew that his father knew a lot about his son.

Anyway, give it a try, I’m not really in the mood for it. I’ll give it a try, I’m not really in the mood for it.

I thought that I should set up a concert sometime. I really wanted to let my father hear my brother’s performance.

We’re walking together like that.

Thud.

I thought big raindrops were falling,

Swish.

Suddenly, a shower began to fall.
The two stood under the eaves of the store for a moment, waiting for the rain to stop.
With their martial arts skills, they could have walked through the rain without getting wet, but they just waited for the rain to stop.

Geommuyang, who had been watching the rain, glanced at her younger brother.
The falling rain silenced her brother’s mouth, who was very talkative. Geommuyang knew that this moment was her brother’s true appearance.

Those deep eyes that silently stare at the rain are my brother’s true eyes.

The black sheep asked softly.

“What do you like?”

Geommu-geuk looked at his brother in surprise at the unexpected question.
Geommu-yang turned his head toward the falling rain and asked again.

“What do you like?”

You know what, hyung? That’s the first time you asked me about something personal. And that was first.

“I like a lot of things. I like drinking and hanging out with people.”
“Too much…….”

Geommuyang was about to warn that if you get too carried away with affection, you could die.
But then he thought about it and realized that all his enemies were dying because of that affection.

My younger brother’s affection is invincible.

“Don’t you prefer being alone?”

My brother never ceased to amaze me.
It was amazing that he knew about me, and it was even more amazing that he could express it.

“My brother, you’re a ghost, a ghost. What’s wrong with you today?”
“What do you really like? Stop talking about people and alcohol.”

I knew he was asking seriously, so I answered honestly.

“It’s nice to lie down comfortably and look at the ocean, and it’s also nice to soak in a hot spring in the snowy scenery.”

It may sound like a lie that the ocean and hot springs came up out of nowhere, but it was something I really enjoyed.

“I still like it now. Standing under the eaves like this and watching the rain.”

Looking at the world alone.

I had experienced that moment so many times in my life before my regression.
In a snowstorm, on a drifting raft, hanging from a cliff… …
Even in those lonely, jingling moments, looking at the world like this made me feel better. Even just watching people pass by made me feel better.

That’s probably why I still like moments like this.

Geommuyang, who had been quietly looking at her younger brother, looked back at the rain.

“You said that going out to see things was something only old people did.”
“At least I’m going out to see things.”

Even though he said it himself, Geommu-geuk laughed out loud, thinking it was childish. A faint smile appeared on Geommu-yang’s lips.

Swaaaaaaah.

“Brother, when Father finishes his training, the three of us should go hunting.”

Geommuyang, who had been staring at the falling rain silently for a while, nodded.

“okay.”

And then he added one more thing.

“……Always take care of yours first.”

Geommu-geuk looked at his brother with trembling eyes.
Today, for the first time, his brother asked him what he liked, and for the first time, he showed concern.

“As expected! You weren’t my brother! I knew it when you asked to draw a picture. Hurry up and give me my brother! When did you switch places?”
“…….”

After the joke was over, Geommugeuk spoke seriously.

“Brother, I’m more selfish and cruel than you think. Don’t worry too much. If you think I’m doing something wrong, don’t hesitate to curse me out.”

Geommuyang also answered seriously.

“I held back several times today.”

Swaaaaaaah.

* * *

The two decided to wait in their living quarters and practice martial arts until the scroll was completed.

Geommuyang was engrossed in practicing the Cheonmahoshinsul. The power of the three drops of Gongcheongseokyu had a great influence on this training.
Thanks to the purified internal energy, the martial arts training was smoother than before, and the achievements were also obtained faster.

Geommu-geuk volunteered to be in charge of meals so that his brother could focus on his training. He
would buy food from the inn and prepare it for each meal. He knew that his brother did not like to go out to eat, so he went out and bought food because he wanted to get some fresh air.

It seemed like nothing special since he came and went quickly, but he prepared different dishes for each meal. When asked what he wanted to eat, Geommuyang answered anything, but it couldn’t be anything every time.

Thanks to this, Geommugeuk also got to know his brother’s eating habits. What kind of food he likes and what kind of food he dislikes.

Even while eating, he tried to talk to
his brother at least once. When else would he have the chance to spend seven days with him in the same house?
Geommugeuk knew better than anyone that if he missed the opportunity, he would not even be given the chance to try.

And on the last seventh day, Geommuyang went and bought food himself.
Surprisingly, Geommuyang bought only the dishes Geommugeuk liked, even though he had not asked.

“How on earth did you know I like these dishes?”
“It’s obvious I’m a picky eater.”

Although he answered bluntly, Geommuyang had been paying close attention to which dishes his younger brother’s chopsticks had been used for the past seven days while eating.

Seven days passed like that.
Geommugeuk and Geommuyang appeared in the market to look for a folding chair.

The Infinite Distance was abuzz with one piece of news.
Today, the martial arts alliance was holding a grand banquet to celebrate Jin Ha-gun becoming the successor. Not only the leaders of the alliance, but also the many martial arts masters of the Central Plains were all in attendance.

The streets were also filled with a festival atmosphere. People from all over the region flocked in, literally creating a sea of ​​people.

“You guys, if you feel good and hit my brother on the shoulder, there’ll be chaos! It’ll be all over!”

It was just talk, but Geommu-geuk and Geommu-yang were the ones who avoided it first.

“Did you say that the non-leader will arrive tomorrow?”
“Yes.”

Visain delivered the news through Tongcheon-gak.

“Oh, I’m curious. I want to meet you soon and ask you what happened with Lady Binggung Han.”

When they all gathered together and parted ways, Bisain suddenly suggested to Hanseol that they stop by the Sadomaeng before going back.
Even after saying that, I thought, “Oh no,” but surprisingly, Hanseol said that she would do that.
At that time, Bisain didn’t tease her with a telegram and just let her go, telling her to enjoy her happiness.

“When we meet again, I have to tell him everything that happened. Did that bear-like friend speak properly? This time, I have to teach him how to seduce women.”

The two men pushed their way through the crowd and arrived at the picture frame shop.
The hanging scroll was as beautifully finished as the owner’s confidence.

“awesome!”

The sword dance was impressive. The painting was made into a very luxurious and splendid hanging scroll. It felt different when it was just a drawing on paper and when it was made into a splendid hanging scroll.

Geommuyang also smiled with satisfaction. It was good enough to be given to her father as a gift.
Geommuyang carefully rolled up the scroll and kept it in her bosom. If someone saw it, it would look like she was keeping a treasured sword.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After paying the price for the folding chair, the two left the picture frame shop.
They were about to return to their residence.

“damage!”

At the shout of Geommu-geuk, the two people jumped into the alley together.
Geommu-yang asked softly with a nervous face.

“Are they guys?”

In response to Geommuyang’s question, Geommu-geuk slightly poked his head out of the alley. His sharp eyes dug into the crowd.

“Yeah, he’s a really scary and fierce guy. That scary guy does some cute things.”

Are you saying it’s cute?

Curious about what he meant, Geommuyang also stuck his head out and looked at where his younger brother was looking.

There was definitely one.
A fierce and scary looking man at the end of the street. People passing by would make eye contact with him and open their eyes.
Surprisingly, it was none other than Bisain. I knew he would arrive tomorrow.

“It looks like your schedule has been pulled forward. But why are you hiding?”

At Geommuyang’s words, Geommu-geuk’s eyes narrowed.

“No way! Look at that liar’s side.”

Next to the visa sign, a woman in a pure white uniform was looking around and observing.
She was none other than Hanseol of the Ice Palace. Surprisingly, she was there with him.

“Why are there two of you together?”
“Look behind her.”

The figure of Han Bing-ssanggeom escorting her behind Han Seol was also seen.

“Han Bingsanggeom is not paying attention to the escort and is just looking around the market. It means that he trusts Sain. In other words, it means that the four of them are used to going around like this. In other words, the young lady who went to the Sado Alliance is looking around and not returning to Bukhae.”

I could tell that it was a sword dance. It seems that Bisain had shown her around various places. Then, he contacted her and she came with him.

“You’re lying to me!”
“I guess I ended up arriving a day early.”

But he couldn’t escape the sharp eyes of the swordsman.

“Look at those clothes.”

By the way, Visain was wearing white clothes.

“I matched her outfit. I chose a patterned outfit so it wouldn’t look like we matched each other.”

When I heard it, it seemed like that.
Where would a Geommuyang like to spy on people like this?
But since I was with Geommugeuk, even this kind of thing was fun.

The mystery of the sword dance continued.

“Do you know why I didn’t wear a hat?”
“Why?”
“I was afraid my hair would get messed up.”
“No way?”

Of all people, that non-sign guy? Just looking at his appearance, he looked like he could conquer the martial arts world in an instant.

Geommuyang didn’t believe it, but Geommugeuk was sure.

“Otherwise, there would be no reason to show that face in front of this Murim Alliance.”

At that moment, the visa holders in the distance glanced over here.
However, the two men had already hidden their heads in the alley.

“Why are you doing that?”

At Hanseol’s question, Bisain turned to her. The scary and sharp expression softened.

“It’s nothing.”

The visa officer looked at the peddler’s cart next to her and asked her.

“Would you like some sugar?”
