Chapter 141: Chapter 140
Ok Haemi came out to Middle Town. It was because her real weapon, Short Sword’s blade, was damaged and she had to have it looked at. A warrior usually had at least one whetstone to grind a weapon because life depended on the sharpness of the weapon. She also had her own whetstone and sharpened her own shortsword but she came out because weapons needed professional care at least once in six month. In fact, once a half-year it was like barely touching it. Those whose swords were life-defending Weapon went to the blacksmith once every four days. It was because weapons can easily damaged by clashing into one another.
But Ok Haemi’s shortsword training were done alone.
She stood and watched people working inside blacksmith with sound full of hammering and smithing. It was because it was nice to see people working passionately despite the heat.
“Oh?”
A blacksmith, who was wiping his sweat, found Ok Haemi and greeted her.
“Good to see you.”
“Yes, I’d like have my sword cleaned up.”
She brought out her shortsword, and the blacksmith who saw it took it without saying anything.
“You’ve been swinging quite a lot.”
“Yeah, I did quite a lot lately.”
He glanced at Ok Haemi’s waist as he dismantled the shortsword. It was because of the whip on her waist.
“I heard you’re Academy’s Whip Teacher. It must be vacation soon.”
“Yes.”
The blacksmith put her sword into the fire, making an incomprehensible look. He has been touching her sword for many times now. And longer than that, he specialized in weapons.
He was confident that he knew more about the weapon than the warriors who used it about the person who uses the weapon.
Whether they’re a beginner, a skilled, or a master. Whether they are male or female. Whether ythey are picky, sultry, etc.
Looking at Ok Haemi’s shortsword, she was quite skilled. Something seemed to have happened recently that made her swing it emotionally, but in his view, her level was Super Master Stage.
But she was a Whip Teacher. The whip at her waist seemed to have used a lot too, but her skills with whip were Master Stage at best. However, the blacksmith’s question was simply buried because they could only work for a long time if their mouths were heavy.
Ok Haemi stood by the blacksmith’s side and watched her shortsword fixed, and as soon as he finished working, she immediately received a weapon on the spot.
“Thank you. How much is it?”
“Give me what you gave me before.”
“Here you go.”
Ok Haemi paid the price and began return to Academy.
“Oh my! Look at this! They have a new product!”
“How can the color be so fine?”
“Have you ever used that hair oil? It smells so good and has a pretty good quality. Your hair will get better!”
On the ladies’ chatter Ok Haemi looked back.
“Ah.”
It was because of the store next to it.
Miho Cosmetics.
She heard during the Female Teacher’s Club that the latest store was quite popular with Nakyang women because of its good quality.
‘ Teacher Cho Mi regarded very highly of the place.’
Being in the Five Flowers of Hwachun Academy Five Great Beauty, Cho Mi was beautiful even to her. She knew all cosmetic stores in Nakyang and was also very good at putting a make up. With her original beautiful face with skilled makeup, her beauty doubled.
‘If I put on a makeup...Will I be pretty too?’
She stared blankly at Miho Cosmetics. Come to think of it, she had never worn makeup before. When she was young, she couldn’t put on makeup because she didn’t have money to buy one.
When she entered the family, she had to wield a sword, and even at the time when she attended the family event, she did not wear makeup. It was because of an absurd reason of needing to show solemnity and dignity as a Family Successor.
When she joined the Academy, she felt like it was a waste to purchase. Female students often wore makeup, but it was a cosmetic that would be wiped off with sweat anyway. free(w)ebnovel.com
But now...
‘Why am I not putting on a makeup?’
Now it has become a natural that she did not wear makeup. Ok Haemi unwittingly touched her mouth. She felt the roughness of her lips that became brittle from dryness.
‘Whew! What am I going to do with a make up? What’s the point of me being pretty anyway?’
She shook her head, and moved back to Academy. freewebno(v)el.com
Kang Hyuk was standing on the third-floor pavilion in cosmetic store. It was to bring flowers from Ten Thousand Years Rose at the request of Hong Ruiger. The three-story tall building owned by Hong Ruiger, and cosmetics store were made on second floor. The third floor was a reception room and a resting place, so Kang Hyuk stood at the pavilion there and looked at the streets of the Middle Town. He then saw an unexpected scene.
“Oh, Teacher Ok...”
He saw Ok Haemi passing in front of the staore, and tried to call her name but he couldn’t because of her expression. She touched her lips after seeing the store, and then passed by with a bitter smile, making Kang Hyuk to feel sympathetic. Kang Hyuk stroked his chin.
There were few women who made him feel this way, and all of them became his men or became lovers.
While all the lovers... left him.
‘But why do I feel such a sympathetic feeling from Teacher Ok?’
He smiled. He had been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn’t find the answer in the end.
“So, Big Brother, hnngh, when is the Semester End Party?”
