Overgeared Chapter 1086:
After Grenhal left, Yura asked him with a cheerful expression, “Youngwoo-ssi, you said you didn’t want to go out with me?”
Noticing that the gazes of the people around him weren’t good, he hastily said, “I don’t like it because I have to go around everywhere . I never said I didn’t want to date Yura . ”
“Isn’t it the same thing?” The unsuspecting Vantner questioned, and the other members of the 10 meritorious retainers poked him in the side .
Yura was staring at Grid . Her slightly wavy hair was tied up, reminiscent of an idol taking a photo with a beach backdrop . There was a refreshing feeling . It was good enough to make him forget the hot water .
“W-What is it?”
He couldn’t adapt to this beauty at all . She was like someone from a completely different world . Yura stared for a few seconds, and the blushing Grid avoided her gaze first .
“I understand now . ” Yura also blushed and nodded . “This is why I’ve always been behind . ”
“ . . . ?”
“The dating—let’s stop for a while . ”
“Huh . . . ?”
“I’m going to become stronger . ”
Yura was a single digit ranker . She ‘naturally’ exhausted her daily gameplay time limit . Her passion for Satisfy was so enormous that she spent her spare time maintaining an optimal condition and gathering information . Of course, she wasn’t special . The rankers, those who made money through Satisfy, and those who just enjoyed Satisfy invested most of their day into Satisfy . However, just because they spent the same amount of time in the game didn’t mean they all did the same thing . Otherwise, the concept of a ranker itself wouldn’t have existed .
Yura thought that to become like Grid, she had to focus on Satisfy the entire time her brain was awake . She realized how much of a luxury it was to think about what to do with her favorite person today . Yura was making a determined expression and opening a gate to **** when Grid shouted, “Don’t misunderstand! I’m just lucky!”
Luck followed him .
Up to last year, Grid hadn’t wanted to hear this . They thought he had grown to this stage just because of luck . . . ? Where was there a person in this world more unlucky than him? His current position was purely a result of his effort . Grid believed so . Every time he saw himself, he felt disgusted by the netizens and experts who said he was just lucky . He thought they were degrading his efforts and accomplishments .
That wasn’t the case anymore . Grid only recognized it after achieving so much . It was true that he was lucky . Being born with the strength to not give up, the fact that Satisfy was released, obtaining Pagma’s book, and meeting good people… All of this was luck that he enjoyed .
Now Grid acknowledged it easily . He wasn’t offended by the assessment that he was lucky . It was true .
His gap with Yura? It wasn’t a difference in effort . The difference was the number of times luck came to him . Grid insisted on it .
“Is there a person who doesn’t have luck?” Yura denied it . “Luck follows everyone . However, few people are able to capture and take advantage of the luck that comes to them . ” Yura called Grids luck an ability or skill . “I saw you and got to know you . I probably missed a lot of luck . It is because I’m not as focused . I probably would’ve given up, unlike you . ”
The expression ‘compromise’ was more appropriate than ‘giving up . ’ Even so, Yura didn’t use it . It was shameful to bring out the word ‘compromise’ in front of Grid who faced all types of hardships and adversities . Yura’s body started to pass through the gate to **** . “At the very least, I’ll come back as a person who doesn’t burden you . ”
This was the signal .
“I’m going as well . ”
“Then I’ll be going . ”
“I’ll see you later . Don’t worry, I’ll keep in touch . ”
“Grid, please dont get into trouble?”
All of the 10 meritorious retainers apart from Lauel said goodbye to Grid . Their eyes were filled with a deep desire . Rather than looking at Grid’s back forever, they were eager to see the world that Grid was looking at together .
“Everyone . . . ”
It would be a long separation . Grid intuitively sensed this and showed a sad expression . He wondered if his development had alienated his colleagues .
Chris scoffed at him, “Have you forgotten? Our goal was once to be the supreme . ”
“ . . . ”
“Are we has-been just because we didn’t meet our goal? We have our own pride and have to prove our qualifications . Isn’t that right?”
“Chris . . . ”
“Be stronger until I come back . The moment I return, I’ll be applying for a duel so be nervous . ”
Apart from Yura and Faker, everyone owned territory . Yet on this day, all of them gave up their territories, returning the rights of a lord . They broke the shackles holding them . The 10 meritorious retainers, who had many responsibilities, were now able to focus on their personal growth .
Lauel spoke to Grid, who was left alone in the office, “Grid, they aren’t weak enough for you to worry about . Why don’t you focus on your work?”
“My work?”
“Of course, as a blacksmith . Additionally . . . ” Lauels gaze turned outside the office . A small shadow was visible . It was the road that Lord used to take Kasim back .
“Wouldn’t it be nice to spend time with your family?” Lauel asked . “The years pass very quickly . Prince Lord will be turning 15 in less than four years . Until then, please spend a lot of time with him . ”
Once he turned 15, Lord would have all types of constraints placed on him . As a genius of the continent, Lord was system certified as a super-named talent . However, would Lord remain a power of the Overgeared Kingdom until the end? Maybe he would want to go on a trip or become crooked like the imperial princes . The role of a parent was great .
***
“Aigoo, my Lord! Chuu! Chuuu!”
Lauel wanted Grid to be cautious about Lord, but Grid didn’t care . Lord’s future? Lord would decide for himself . Grid just wanted to love his child .
“Have you been doing well?”
The white skin that didn’t burn even when rolling in the sun every day was soft . Lord’s fluffy cheeks and soft hair rubbed against Grid’s face . It soothed the emptiness that was caused by the 10 meritorious retainers leaving .
Lord didn’t hate it either . Now he was 11 years old, and Grid had been worried that puberty would come . The little boy was understanding and felt admiration rather than resenting his father who was always away .
“I tried to listen to Mother’s words . I eat well and study hard . ”
“Yes, you did very well . And . . . ”
With black hair, blue eyes, high noise, and slightly raised mouth, Lord had an ideal mixture of his parent’s looks . Grid hugged the pretty Lord and kissed his cheeks . “It was a big achievement to heal Kasim . You saved Kasim . ”
“Master is my friend and teacher . Don’t praise me for doing what I had to,” Lord said with a resolute expression .
Grid nodded with a smile . “Yes, you have to cherish your bonds . ”
“Aunt Ruby told me to treat everyone with care . ”
“That is true . Everyone is precious to someone so they are all precious people . Help if you see someone who is going through difficulties . ”
Grid was saying this?
“Cough, cough!”
The early members of the Overgeared Guild, including Zednos and Laella . Those, who had been appointed as new lords after the 10 meritorious retainers left, came to Grid’s office and were surprised . In any case, Grid ignored them and held up Lord to the window . The view of the city unfolded, and countless people could be seen .
“However, don’t be nice to everyone . Then you will be a pushover . . . No, if you give out too much one-sided help then the other person can become lazy or you might find yourself tired . ”
“Yes, Father . I understand . ”
He could understand even if Grid talked like a dog . Grid could see why the teachers in every field praised Lord . The thrilled Grid was excited . “I will be in the smithy from now on . Why don’t you come with me?”
He naturally thought that Lord would come along . Yet . . .
“I want to watch Father work, but unfortunately, I have a previous engagement .
“Previous engagement? With who?”
“A girlfriend . ”
“ . . . ”
Was he talking about the group of Rebecca’s Daughters candidates? It must be busy dealing with hundreds of girlfriends with one body . He admired Lord, who received all types of education yet didn’t forget to date his girlfriends . Grid nodded while feeling a bit sad . “Then it can’t be helped . Have fun . ”
“Yep . I will cherish my bonds like Father has taught . ”
“ . . . Y-Yes . By the way, who are you dating today?”
Grid remembered several names and faces among Lord’s girlfriends . Among them, there were around 10 who were the prettiest, and Grid wondered if it was one of them . While Grid was still trying to figure out who might be his future daughter-in-law, Lord brought out an unexpected name .
“Sister Sua . ”
“Crazy!”
In Grid’s mind, all types of imaginary things unfolded . Then it happened the moment he couldn’t endure his anger and opened his mouth again .
“Hurry! Leave now!” Zednos created a wind barrier to separate Grid and Lord before pushing at Lord’s back . Zednos didn’t want the harsh words that would soon pop out of Grid’s mouth to contaminate the young boy’s ears and spirit .
“Yes, I’ll be going,” Lord politely said goodbye and left the office .
The moment Zednos lowered the wind, Grid’s swearing turned the office upside down . “XX!! How could this happen?!!”
Grid grabbed Zednos by the collar and shook him . “I know how beautiful, kind, and wonderful Sua is! However, she is a pervert!”
“Kek . . . Kekek!”
“I was wondering why the pervert had been silent for a while . It turns out she was reaching out for my son? Eh?”
“Kek . . . ! Kekek!”
“What the **** did she do to such a young and pure child?!”
“O . . . Oh . . . ”
“What? Dishonor? It is a dishonor!”
“Mis . . . understanding . . . ” (TL: They both start with the same character in Korean)
He was suffocating . Zednos, who almost experienced the worst death, was barely released . He clicked his tongue at Grid’s strength that he had never seen before and explained, “She cares for Lord like a child, like a nephew . Faker said that when Lord was mentally tired from all his lessons, she took care of him and this brought them closer . ”
“ . . . Ah . ”
Satisfy had many behind-the-scenes stories . The opening was reminiscent of the contents in morning dramas and ancient myths . Thus, he had been worried . Fortunately, it wasn’t the case . It was too much to tell the story of a perverted adult woman . The relieved Grid got rid of all his dirty imaginations . He asked his colleagues who had been appointed as the new lords of the eight territories to work hard before heading to the smithy .
Finally, the moment to create the mineral was here .
