Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World

40 – Episode 40: Fishing

2.

Namgoong Yeon looked at the front gate of Namgoong Sega’s mansion.

“I have finally returned. To this place.”

The words of the elder came to mind.

He had said that he would come back someday.

I never thought it would actually happen.

The gatekeepers, startled to see me, opened the door.

Some looked on without expression, while others welcomed me.

At least there was a great deal of interest.

Even though it was late in the afternoon, there were many people bustling about.

It was a little different from usual with Namgoong Sega.

I was about to grab anyone to ask for the location of the elder.

“Sister!”

My younger sister came running towards me.

“Sia. Have you been well?”

Sia, who had stopped at my words, approached slowly and hugged me.

After exchanging brief greetings, we asked about the elder’s whereabouts.

The elder was in the study.

“Elder.”

“Yes. Did you enjoy the trip?”

“I still believe that the trip is not over… yet.”

“Yes. I heard about the situation. It seems that in preparation for the day of decision, the grandson of the independent and self-reliant leader has volunteered to leave.”

“Yes.”

“What did he say?”

“He said he would definitely come back. So, my journey is not over yet.”

“Well. It doesn’t matter. By the way…”

The elder looked at Yeon as if scanning him up and down.

“Wow, you’ve reached a level that I can’t even recognize. To reach such a level in just two months… Amazing…”

Now Namyungsa can’t treat a junior recklessly, he has reached a level where he cannot.

“Go and visit Gaju.”

“What about Mother?”

“Go see for yourself. Even if they attack, you won’t be easily defeated.”

…

…

…

As Gaju opened the door and entered the room, a strong tobacco smell greeted him.

“Huh… What brings you back?”

For once, Namgyungsa was not with his men.

“Sigh… Hoo…”

“……….”

What should I say? Honestly, there was nothing I wanted to say except for observing Mother’s condition.

After all, she had tried to rape Eunho like the despicable human garbage she is.

Even now, seeing her bandaging her wounds, I felt no guilt.

“You’ve become quite strong.”

“But it seems like you’ve become quite weak, Mother.”

“It’s because of that damn monster. Tsk. Someday, I’ll break them.”

Upon hearing that, Gaju suddenly realized that his mother was excessively self-centered and narcissistic.

There was a moment of silence.

Once again, Namgyungsa was the first to speak.

“You got second place in the Jun Competition at the Wulin Shrine Council.”

“…Yes.”

“Ha. At first, I doubted it. Someone like you getting second place. Thought this world was in decline.”

“I did win because of the favorable draw.”

“hahahahaha! It’s unbecoming of a woman to modestly admit it.”

For once, he received unexpected praise. Namgyungsa spoke as he drank his alcohol.

Then he poured alcohol into the cup.

“Drink it. It’s the alcohol given by your mother.”

“I hesitated, but ended up receiving the glass of alcohol and drinking it in one gulp. I wanted to cough due to its powerful alcoholic content, but I didn’t want to appear weak in front of Nam Gung-sa. Others might not matter, but I reluctantly endured it. ‘People have to see each other again. Even though I thought my children had no successors. Kkuhuhu.’ Nam Gung-sa stood up with a thud. Although Jang Myeong-soon seemed small at three meters tall, Nam Gung-sa, 190 centimeters, was overwhelming compared to Nam Gung-yeon. “It’s time for a duel. Let’s see how much you’ve grown.” Nam Gung-yeon hesitated for a moment, but quickly accepted. “There’s no excuse for losing due to pain.” And so began the battle between Ga-joo and daughter Nam Gung-yeon, with an elder coming to act as a judge. ‘Ga-joo, are you really going to fight? Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet.’ ‘Do you think I would retreat now?’ With her sword in hand, the height of Nam Gung-sa’s youngest daughter, she smiled wickedly and got into position, saying ‘Bring it on. Take the first move.’ The sight of her mother, Noryeong-geom’s last opponent, made Nam Gung-yeon nervous. She had always felt she was behind a wall, but now she realized she couldn’t hide her whole life just because she was afraid. First, Nam Gung-sa sharpened the sword, which was already long and heavy by nature, and reinforced it with an energy shield. Then, like a hunting tiger, she strengthened her agility and dashed forward. Nam Gung-sa made use of her signature move, “Sahwang-yongcheon-roe,” perhaps daring Namyung-yeon to block it. It was a move that used to be invisible, but now, it was starting to appear. Finally, without any defense, Nam Gung-yeon charged towards her with the same technique. Sahwang-yongcheon-ro was a sword stroke that struck from top to bottom.”

If two techniques collide, the one used first would normally have an advantage. However, Nam Gung-yeon-ha surpassed Nam Gung-sa-ya’s speed of striking, so she canceled her technique and assumed a defensive stance.

Kwoong..!! The air explodes and bursts out.

“”《Imperial Sword Formation》””

At the same time, the two shouted, delivering almost identical blows as if they were rehearsing.

The Imperial Sword Formation is a sword technique that reads all the movements of the opponent and gives the feeling of being on top.

As they demonstrate their true strength, a spectacle reminiscent of a decalcomania emerges.

“Did you not think that the Spear and Bow Unifying Sword Technique would be more appropriate?”

“To truly consider myself superior to you, I must defeat you with the Imperial Sword Formation.”

“You are so full of yourself. Do you actually think you can defeat me with the Imperial Sword Formation?”

“Whether I am arrogant or not…”

ㅡPit.. A bruise appeared on Nam Gung-sa-ya’s cheek.

“You’ll find out if you give it a try.”

The tension in the air begins to tremble.

When Nam Gung-sa-ya starts using the derived technique of the Imperial Sword Formation, it is a sign.

“”《Brain-Piercing Stroke》””

Nam Gung-sa-ya leaps high and strikes downward as if pulling the air.

Seeing that it would be difficult to receive the technique, Nam Gung-yeon-ha dodges it with a light step.

ㅡㅡㅡKwaaah!

“”《Spear and Bow Thunderous Blast》””

Nam Gung-yeon-ha narrowly avoids it and retaliates with a Lightning Sword Strike.

Her lightning, like when she first encountered Paeng Ya-hwa, remained unwavering. It was a sharp and precise energy that could penetrate anything.

“”《Brain-Piercing Fury》””

A technique shown for the first time. Nam Gung-sa-ya also releases a sword strike.

The clash of the two strikes creates a resounding noise.

2.

Meanwhile, Paeng Ya-hwa said that she would enter seclusion for training.

“Seclusion for training? It’s none of my business, but… all of a sudden? Are you planning to participate in the upcoming war?”

Paeng Ya-hwa had no intention of risking her life to confront the Demon Sect.

However… the family’s affairs were no longer someone else’s concern, and above all, if the Heavenly Demon Sect was targeting Eun-ho, they needed the power to at least firmly defeat the Demon Sect’s finger, even if it meant going against the odds.

“……..Depending on the situation, it may be different, but for now, I have no plans. And even if it’s seclusion for training, it won’t take long.”

The short period of time known as “Pye-gwan Soo-ryun” is nothing special. How to spend that time is up to each person’s preference.

“…Don’t you have anything like “My-dan” (office)?”

“What do you mean, ‘My-dan’? Of course I do.”

Pyeong Ya-hwa’s eyes glittered. But Paeng Oh-ryong snorted.

“Why should I give it to you? To the girl who speaks in banmal (informal language) to her mother?”

Pyeong Ya-hwa’s eyes cooled down.

…

…

…

“Wow! We got it!”

“Should we try catching another one? Or should I do it?”

“I’ll try… Eughk…!”

Eunho found out that the feeling of catching a fish on a fishing rod was more exciting than it looked, even though he couldn’t see.

With the weak strength of a man of the current reverse world, it was difficult to catch a fish. If he used reinforced blood, he could pull it up in one go, but there was a hundred percent chance that it would escape in the moment he used too much force. So Eunho decided to fight with his original strength by holding onto the fishing rod with both hands.

Since it was a humble fishing rod that was different from the advanced fishing rods of the present day, only technique was needed. Eunho, a fishing beginner, gave various changes such as stealing strength he had heard of somewhere and giving it back.

“Keeeuh…!”

Eunho hoped for a considerable reaction. How big could the fish be?

At that moment, as he was releasing his force, the fish noted it and gave a strong tug, trying to escape. But instead, Eunho was dragged along.

“Wow!!”

Splash!

Cheon-hee, who was watching from the side, jumped in and caught both the fish and Eunho at the same time.

“O…ouch!”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m o…ouch!”

As winter was slowly approaching, the lake was very cold. Ryu Cheon-hee secretly looked at Eunho whose clothes were sticking to his body, revealing his silhouette. Her face became red for no reason.

In the meantime, a fish that flapped around in Ryu Cheon-hee’s hand, making its presence known.

It was going to be tonight’s dinner.

“I’ll light a fire. Stick close to me.”

Ryu Chun-hee, using his godly power to raise his body temperature.

Watching Eun-ho burrow into his arms like a baby searching for its parents, Chun-hee felt a pang of guilt.

“Let’s go back to the lakeside once more. Or maybe…”

“……..”

What am I thinking…

That’s no different from Houn.

As they light the fire, Eun-ho asks as his body melts, “What about the fish?”

“You want to touch it?”

“Yes!”

He makes Eun-ho hold the still flapping fish for a moment.

Eun-ho felt a shiver run down his spine.

It wasn’t just the vitality of the fish, but also the unique texture.

“Eek?!”

As they watch Eun-ho, who is both startled but determined not to let go, Chun-hee laughs gleefully.

“Ugh… stop laughing and do something about this!”

“Don’t want to?”

“Chun-hee~~!!”

As much as Eun-ho usually acted like a girl, Chun-hee wanted to see this side of him.

The ordinary man who dislikes gross things and acts all tough.

“……………”

“Sorry, sorry.”

“You’re really mean.”

“But I’ll cook for you instead.”

“You can cook, Chun-hee?”

“In my own way. I’ve studied.”

Eun-ho looked at Chun-hee with hopeful eyes.
