Side story 206. One-Won-Won Comics (6)
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“It doesn’t mean anything to be able to be the sun for a little while.”
“You might think so.”
“As you can imagine, the vast majority of yakshas would not want that.”
“Because you care about your life?”
“I believe that Your Majesty is a proper leader, rare even within the Shinto religion.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“I hope you won’t make the mistake of recklessly leading your subordinates to their deaths.”
“Then you led me to failure.”
“Your Majesty.”
“I have already failed because of you. I trusted you, but I did not trust your men.”
“yes?”
“I was sure that their lives were in danger. Of course not. They are different from you. And yet I sent a sergeant, a sergeant-at-arms to you.”
“… … !!”
“And I was thinking of sending other captains too.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shook once again.
The falling moonlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the trees, and scattered spots on Yang Baek-ho’s face. The pale spots were eerie, and the lines that became one with the spots looked cold, like a textured object.
“Do you think I sent them solely for the sake of a single individual named Lee Cheon-sang? Not at all.”
“… … .”
“I am a cruel leader who sends his subordinates to places with a very high chance of death for the sake of a capable, promising subordinate who could become the symbol of the Yaksha Commander.”
Yang Baek-ho closed his eyes.
The dark, bowed branches of the trees seemed to be the iron nets surrounding the castle walls. The pale moon dots on the doll’s face, standing against the incalculable iron nets, no longer looked so eerie.
It was the moon’s consideration that led the shadows that had fallen into darkness to the light. It was the moon’s whisper that told us that even if we could not become the sun, we could become one of the countless dots that covered the night sky.
“There are countless values in this world. I too have lived my life pursuing my own values, and now I am standing here.”
“… … .”
“I wanted to be you.”
“yes?”
“I wanted to be a stupid revolutionary who wanted to change what was wrong while embracing the value of righteousness, something so obvious that it could only be criticized.”
“… … !”
“I failed. Because I settled for reality? No. I didn’t have the ability. The moment I realized that, I gave up everything. Yes, maybe you could say I settled for reality at that time.”
“… … .”
“But you were different. You stand here with that stubborn value that is frustrating. You didn’t die in the midst of the civil war, but rather gained sympathizers and created a small wind.”
Yang Baek-ho opened his eyes again.
They were the gray eyes that only a miserable failure who has woken up from a dream, wants to go back into the dream, but cannot dream the same way again can see.
He couldn’t dream again. He just wanted to dream.
But his dream was actually being dreamed by someone else. Surprisingly, it was a dream that could be seen. It wasn’t a special seat that could be obtained only by paying one’s life, but it was a place close enough to awaken the passion of one’s youth.
Yang Baek-ho was worried, happy, miserable, and frustrated.
And a single will, overwhelming all those colorful emotions, began to pound his limbs.
People called that will a re-challenge.
The moment you try again, the moment you burn your life once again and live a worthwhile life.
At that moment, his life will be complete.
Only then will he finally be able to escape the life of a loser and at the same time become a loser who blames the world for his lack of effort.
Yang Baek-ho was ready to gladly accept the title of a fool. Because he could be called a fool with an unpleasant title, and at the same time, become someone who had not yet failed.
‘Yes, I did not fail.’
Failure is not a word that can be easily spoken by those who have not tried their best.
“Looking at you, I finally realized that what I lacked was not ability. You showed me that ability was just one of many tools that helped me achieve my goals, and not everything.”
“… … .”
“You are my benefactor. You have transformed me from a full pig who had stamped the stamp of failure on my one and only life to a hungry enlightened person who can still say that he is successful.”
Lee Cheon-sang swallowed without realizing it. He didn’t even realize it.
Yang Baek-ho smiled.
It was such a wonderful face that it made me think, “Wow, even a lion that has walked through a tough life can have such a smile on its face.”
“So I intend to become the sun, even if it means burning my wings once again.”
“The yakshas die.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s voice was much quieter than before.
“The yakshas will die without even knowing why they are dying.”
“Stop it.”
“Your Majesty.”
“He who already knows the truth should not constantly wonder what the truth is. Don’t you know it?”
“… … What are you talking about?”
“Life and death are one.”
“… … !!”
“Life is valuable simply by being alive. But we are mines. We are the orthodox mines of the Heavenly Demon Sect. And we mines live and die for one existence.”
A surge of excitement rose in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.
“Heavenly Demon.”
“He is someone who has not yet shown his face. Even though I was not a convert when I was young, I want to see the returned Heavenly Horse.”

“… … .”
“Of course, it doesn’t matter who the Heavenly Horse is. If possible, I hope that someone who is like a god becomes the Heavenly Horse, but if you think about it differently, it’s funny. The Heavenly Horse is the representative of the god. No matter what kind of personality the representative of the god has, we can live and die for him.”
Yang Baek-ho looked around.
Although I was looking at the forest, it felt like I was looking around the entire church.
“I don’t care if the Heavenly Horse doesn’t appear before I die. And I don’t know what God thinks and lives for. But somehow, I don’t think he’ll descend to this filthy and corrupt altar.”
“… … .”
“For the sake of the Heavenly Horse, for the sake of righteousness, for myself, now is the time to fly.”
“Sir… … .”
“And that is the wish of all demons. Those who do not wish for it are not worthy of being demons. I will live with the belief that the Demon King of the Desire Realm will descend wherever I look. Even if the Heavenly Demon does not descend, if I can help create a world where demons can live like demons, wouldn’t that truly be a worthwhile life?”
Power entered Yang Baek-ho’s eyes.
“You said before, that a superior’s authority comes from responsibility.”
“… … !”
“I am finally ready to take responsibility for my life. How can someone who can’t even take responsibility for his own life be a worthy superior?”
“… … .”
“At this very moment, I have become the leader of the Yaksha Commander. And I desire that our Yaksha Commander become not an organization like a shackle, but an organization that truly fights for the new religion and sacrifices its life for the coming of the Heavenly Horse.”
Yang Baek-ho patted Lee Cheon-sang on the shoulder.
“Did you say you were giving up your position as a footnote editor?”
“… … Yes.”
“Tell me again. Are you really going to give up your footnote position?”
In contrast to his wavering eyes, his voice was straight and upright.
“Yes.”
Yang Baek-ho nodded.
Yang Baek-ho took his hand off her shoulder and took out a small document from his bosom.
Yi Cheon-sang’s eyes widened. The document with the seal of Commander Yang Baek-ho on the lower left was an order.
“As of today, I hereby dismiss the head of the Yaksha Commandery, Lee Cheon-sang.”
“… … .”
“After this time, Lee Cheon-sang, who was a one-legged leader, will return to being a regular member of the Shinkyo. According to the organization law of the outside world, it takes three years to become a commander again, and since he only expressed his intention to resign, and it was not a dismissal, he can be given a position that suits his abilities upon re-enlistment.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking at Yang Baek-ho with shaking eyes, took the lottery ticket.
“Thank you for all the trouble you’ve had because of me.”
Yang Baek-ho faced each other.
“You must have had a hard time supporting the incompetent leader.”
“no.”
“And please take care of me in the future.”
Yang Baek-ho, who had given the example, said with a smile.
“From now on, the Yaksha Commander will not exist as a comrade, but as a strong barrier for those who will become the vanguard of the new era.”
“Your Majesty. Think about it again… … .”
“I’ll start with the leaders. One by one, one by one.”
“… … !!”
“I will fire them just like you. Of course, if they want.”
“Your Majesty.”
“If you don’t want to see the command split apart, then you too must work hard. It doesn’t matter what you do to us. From now on, it’s okay to become a sacrificial lamb for political strife. Because our lives will move towards the normalization of the new religion, and truly for God.”
Yang Baek-ho turned around.
“I’ll see you again soon.”
* * *
Yang Baek-ho left and Lee Cheon-sang remained.
He couldn’t leave this forest even for a single step, because his conversation with Yang Baek-ho had caused unexpected confusion.
Lee Cheon-sang was truly confused.
My thoughts were not organized. I really couldn’t understand why Yang Baek-ho was suddenly acting like that.
‘The Yaksha Commander was doing well. Of course, my absence is not small, but it is not big either. People are said to be creatures of forgetfulness. If someone else becomes a footnote, the regret I feel for my absence can be quickly diluted.’
If the commander could keep his position like that, then Lee Cheon-sang would have nothing more to wish for.
However, Yang Baek-ho wants to make the huge organization called Yaksha Commandery the vanguard for the reform of the Shinto religion.
The leader of the unit is granted the right to life by his subordinates. The Yaksha Commander is not a typical gang of street thugs. It is a real organization that lives and dies by orders, more like a military unit than a military unit.
Of course, if your superior tells you to do so, you should do so. All units and organizations were similar.
but…….
‘I still can’t understand it. I’m not that great of a person. I’m just a strange beast whose emotions are dulled compared to others, and who can easily give up his life… … .’
That was when.
A single strange noise broke Lee Cheon-sang’s confused thoughts.
Lee Cheon-sang looked back.
Far away, there was someone bringing a shadow so gloomy that even the moonlight was afraid to approach.
‘Who is it?’
Woohoo.
The moment I had doubts, my inner strength cried out on its own.
Lee Cheon-sang was quite surprised. The vibration of his internal energy was different than usual. It was not a nervous reaction to seeing a strong person.
This vibration was almost like resonance.
‘female?’
That was when.
Srrrrung.
A dark woman with her sword drawn from her waist glared.
Paaak!
A heavy, tense force suddenly emanated from the hand of the woman who was suddenly kicking the ground. It was a frontal attack with no end or beginning.
However, Lee Cheon-sang was surprised not by the woman’s advances, but by the martial arts skills she displayed.
“Man-ap-geum-ma-jang?!”
A huge tension swept through the two thousand-year-old’s body.
Boom!
