Soseo’s day became very hectic after returning to the Peng family. He wakes up at 5 a.m. to greet the Family Head, and then starts practicing on the training grounds. After training is over, he receives a simple breakfast table and after that, he studies by reading a book in his room. While he studies, the servants bring lunch to his room at lunchtime, and after finishing the meal, he takes a light walk through the garden. Following that, he practices again on the training grounds, wielding a Great Saber about my height for such a long time it terrified the people watching. And we, who were watching him practice on the side,
“I can feel the Young Master’s prowess. Perfect!”
“The Young Master’s day is more rewarding than my week!”
In just a few days, we became Soseo’s akgaes. We held up water and towels and enthusiastically cheered for Soseo who was brandishing the Great Saber. They say there is no one more attractive than someone who works hard. I didn’t know that Soseo would become even better here. But Soseo…. is really strong. I absent-mindedly looked at Soseo who was in the middle of training. Yesterday, Mr. Jang, the grandfather who is in charge of the second generation of the Peng Family’s family affairs, explained that all people from the Peng Family are muscular, strong and tough, but I didn’t know it would be to this level.
“It’s so amazing. How can a person be so great?”
“Hyung-nim will become the Peng Family’s Family Head in the future. Of course he’s so great.”
“……Young Master Soyu?!”
We quickly bowed. Soyu laughed and slapped me on the back.
“Why are you calling me that all of a sudden? Speak comfortably. You’re Hyung-nim’s friends.”
“We are now Young Master Soseo’s servants.”
“Oh, as expected, you two have a clear distinction between personal affairs and work, just like Hyung-nim.”
“Please don’t speak with honorifics, Young Master Soyu. I’m afraid that anyone will hear us.”
“Well, I can’t help it if you ask me like that! You’re so worried!”
“Ah!”
“Myoha!”
Soyou slapped me on the back without warning. This time, he hit it so hard I fell face-first on the floor. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the fact that the Peng Family’s people are really strong now. So, Soyu boasted about Soseo for two whole hours and then went to another training ground, saying he couldn’t lose. Despite me suggesting for him to greet Soseo before going, he said he couldn’t control his passion and stormed out like lightning. Only then did Soseo put down the sword, and ask, while heavily breathing.
“Can you give me some water?”
“Yes!”
We quickly ran to Soseo. Soseo sat on a rock on the edge of the training ground and drank the water Myoryeong gave him. We are the only ones here, right? We can talk casually now. I put out a towel.
“I don’t have any strength in my arms right now, so please wipe my sweat off.”
“Sure.”
I scrubbed Soseo’s face with a towel. Soseo smiled awkwardly.
“I’m looking really ugly right now, isn’t it?”
“Not at all. Close your eyes for a bit.”
After answering firmly, I focused on wiping Soseo’s face again. When his face got clean, Soseo gently opened his closed eyes. I smiled broadly as I looked into his eyes.
“It’s all done.”
“Thank you.”
Ah, why can’t we change the genre to RoFan now? There are a lot of martial arts and romance fantasy novels coming out these days. It’s such a waste for a character like Soseo to be left in a martial arts novel. I looked at him with sincere regret. After drinking all of his water, Soseo got up.
“Let’s just go inside.”
“Huh? You’re not going to continue?”
“Mn. Today I’m going to have a meal with Father.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Soseo washed himself clean and changed into a particularly good outfit. When the servants who helped him dress stepped down, Soseo opened his mouth with preoccupation.

“This is the place I wanted to show you the most.”
“Really? Where is this?”
“This used to be my Mother’s room.”
“…Your Mother’s room? Oh, is this the room Madam lived in?”
“Mn.”
We carefully headed inside. This is the room his Mother used. Since the day we arrived here until now, I’ve only seen the Family Head, so I guessed…… I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
“What do you think?”
“It’s a very cozy place.”
In the Madam’s room, there were many cute decorations like wooden animals, instead of colorful or elegant ornaments. Perhaps that’s why I felt more emotional. I looked at the decorations up close. There was not a single speck of dust on them, it was clear that the servants had painstakingly maintained them. At that time, Myoryeong pulled me by the hem.
“What’s wrong?”
“There.”
A luxurious portrait painted in ink was hung on the wall. It was of a woman who looked very similar to Soseo. I looked back at Soseo. He gave the expected answer.
“It’s a portrait of my Mother.”
Soseo also came next to us and looked at it.
“When my mother was critically ill, she called an artist to paint her. When I asked her why, she said it was because she wanted us to always remember her appearance.”
I kept silent as I pondered what to say.
“She really looks like you.”
“That’s right, the reason I don’t resemble my father or Soyu is because I take after my mother. Grandfather is so unusually protectful to me because of her too. He thinks I’m also frail because I take after her. I’m really so healthy.”
Soseo’s expression became faint.
“I really miss her. I wonder if Mother misses me too?”
I, who was weak in this situation, nodded my head eagerly.
“There’s no doubt. I’m sure the Madam also misses you.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“No, there’s no need to thank me.”
“Oh, but Myoha.”
Soseo smiled broadly.
“My mother is alive and well.”
“……Huh?!”
The solemn atmosphere instantly disappeared. We were astonished.
“But you said this was the room your Mother used…!”
“Oh, she’s gone back to her hometown for work, so I meant she’s not using it now.”
“I’m sorry, we didn’t know that…….”
“Oh no, my words were a bit confusing.”
Soseo told me while fiddling with my cheeks.
“It is true that my mother was ill, but she’s better now. Luckily, my father got a very precious elixir.”
“Elixir?”
“It means a medicine with mysterious effects. After taking the elixir, she was good as new.”
“I’m glad she’s well now. When will Madam come back?”
“…Well.”
What kind of person is Soseo’s mother? Earlier, Soseo said that he resembled her mother, so it was highly likely that she also had a delicate and gentle personality. Until that time, I thought so with a light heart.
Without knowing that that wish would soon come true.

“The meat is melting gently on my tongue.”
“Yes, it really is delicious.”
After touring the house, we went to the garden, where the meal would take place. Only when Soseo sat down did the meal start.
“Hyung-nim, please eat a lot.”
“Yes, you should eat a lot too.”
Soon after, empty plates began to pile up like towers on the table. There were only three people eating, so I wondered why there was enough food for more than 10, but turns out it was because of the two of them. The Family Head and Soyu tore into their ribs like tigers. If the two of them did a mukbang in our original world, achieving 1 million subscribers wouldn’t be so difficult. Then, I made eye contact with the Family Head. As he put down the bone that he had neatly peeled off and eaten, he said.
“By the way, Soseo brought those kids here today as well. I didn’t know you cherished them that much.”
“Yes. It’s a lot of fun to be with these two.”
The Family Head beckoned at us.
“You too, come sit down here.”
“What? We don’t dare!”
If Grandfather sees it, he will give us another earful. When we shook our heads hard, he offered again.
“Hoho, quickly sit down.”
What should we do? We looked at Soseo. Soseo also nodded.
“You can sit down. I’ll explain it to Grandfather.”
We had no choice but to pull out our chairs and sit down.
“Do you like meat?”
“…Yes, I like it very much.”
“Eat a lot.”
-Thud.
A whole pig was put in front of us. Do I just take as much as I want? I found a plate and took out enough for me to eat. Then Soyu’s eyes opened wide.
“Huh? You’re only going to eat that much?”
“What? Yes.”
“You eat little just like Hyung-nim, don’t you?”
“We eat little?”
Me and Myoryeong eat little. This was as absurd as saying that I, who will only watch hetero things even after death, watch BL or GL.
“Nothing of the sort. A lot of people say we eat well.”
“Is that the case? I think you eat very little though.”
“…….”
The problem is that he rates everything based on his own standards. I watched in fascination as Soyu put a whole steamed fish on a plate, and then I came to my senses and gave some food to Myoryeong too. At that time the head of the family asked.
“Come to think of it, Myoryeong is one year younger than Myoha isn’t she?”
“Yes, I’m a year older.”
“Does your Oppa treat you well?”
“Yes, he’s nice to me.”
“It’s good to know that you and your Oppa are on good terms. Of course, not better than our family’s pair of siblings.”
“You’re right! I can’t think of a pair of siblings that are more on good terms than we are!”
“…Soyu, speak quietly during a meal.”
Before we knew it, we were completely relaxed and peacefully eating with the three Peng Family’s members. It was thanks to the Family Head’s and Soyu’s friendly treatment.
Soyu was piling up the plates and making another tower, when suddenly the Family Head jumped up.
“What is it?”
” I just heard a commotion all of the sudden.”
Guess who’s appearing next chapter~~
