Chapter 373: You Don’t Need to Know That
Carrying dumplings in my hand, I walked slowly through Baek Eung-ji with Sword Demon and said,
“Brother, let’s walk today.”
“Why? It'll take a while.”
“We’ll make it before sunset.”
I tried to take in as much of the mundane scenery as I could. If I thought of this day as a choice of where to focus, then doing nothing felt like the right answer.
I’m used to this kind of life.
But Sword Demon isn’t.
Today, for once, he’d spoken a lot to me. There was no need to rush off and start using light footwork just to be reminded how exhausting life is.
So I intentionally walked slowly with him all the way back.
Even once we left Baek Eung-ji, I didn’t pick up the pace. Since Sword Demon was always a man of few words, I didn’t need to say much either.
He mostly walked with his hands behind his back.
And I walked with dumplings swinging in one hand. After a while, he finally spoke, as if something had been on his mind.
