Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 579
[Episode 579] Night out.
After Shinryong leaves.
When I came back after a miscellaneous conversation, Pajon was already in the inn.
There were even a lot of things spread out on the table.
“What is this?”
“Can’t you see?”
know.
It’s a problem you know very well.
“What kind of food did you order so much?”
“I have some food to buy. Aren’t you curious?”
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t help but be curious about dumplings that even monks eat.”
I had to pause a little when I heard
“…” .
‘I noticed.’
this old man It seemed like he noticed it again.
That the guy who ate dumplings at the inn was Shaolin’s new dragon.
Hey, I recognized it, but there’s no way Pajon didn’t know.
With a puzzled expression on his face, he pulled a chair and sat down.
I asked while picking up a dumpling on the table.
“Can I eat it?”
“What are you asking after touching it with dirty hands?”
“It’s dirty. I wash well.”
“You should wash well. If you don’t do that, what are you planning to do?”
“…”
What is this annoying conversation.
He frowned and took a bite of the dumpling.
Yes, dumplings are still delicious.
It was the taste that I asked Mo Yong-hee to bring.
Rich in umami.
It smells good and tastes good.
As expected, I didn’t know anything else, but I felt like I would be a little annoyed if this place disappeared.
Right after he shoveled the remaining dumplings into his mouth, he asked Pajon.
“So what happened?”
At the question, Pajon crossed his arms and leaned against the chair.
“What do you mean?”
“That thing. What happened after that?”
Shinryong stayed… What was it?
Anyway, right after knocking out the man. It was a question about it.
“What is going to happen? It’s all that the blind men came and took.”
Again, it seems that nothing has happened. There.
‘Maeng took it.’
If you say that Maeng dragged a first-class soldier who was drunk and drunk.
When it came out, it didn’t look like it would come out very well.
maybe not even
‘I won’t be able to see you around here for a while.’
It was fortunate.
Seeing them messing around in the inn
…
I felt like I didn’t have to get blood on my hands.
With that in mind, should we eat more dumplings?
Thinking of that, I stretched out my hand.
“Did you talk well?”
Pazon asked what to say.
My appetite, which had been heated by those words, fell in an instant.
“Yes what.”
“Didn’t you have a baby?”
“…?”
I frowned as if I had heard a strange question.
“What are you doing? If anyone hears it, they say something big.”
It’s ridiculous.
Who do you know as the neighborhood bully? What do you mean by fan?
“You weren’t the kind of person who would lose just because you were a fan.”
“Hmm.”
As I said, Pazon doesn’t particularly say anything negative. It must be so.
Shinryong was an unbelievable existence at first glance.
“surely. Cheonan made a strange guy.”
weird guy.
The fact that such words came out of Pazon’s mouth was of an extraordinary level.
When I heard that, I smiled and said.
“Did you like it?”
I wonder if he really liked it, so I asked him what to say, and the corner of his mouth went up slightly.
“Why are you jealous?”
What is this? What kind of crazy talk is this?
“The old man has gone senile…!”
As soon as I spit out the words, something came close to my eyes and stopped.
When I said something, it was chopsticks.
“Should I get your eyeballs instead of dumplings? From the looks of it, it looks like your eyes are out of order.”
“…sorry.”
After handing over the short apple, Pazon retrieved the chopsticks.
Seeing this, I had to erase my uncomfortable feelings.
The reason is not different.
‘I didn’t see it.’
Even if the problem is not turning on the mind.
It was because I couldn’t catch Pazon’s movements properly.
Did the movement get faster as Pazon climbed onto the scene?
I don’t know. I don’t know, but if there’s something that I know for sure.
‘I won’t be able to do anything for a while.’
I wanted to be able to barely rub it in, but now I can’t do it again.
Even so, it was so irritating that I couldn’t get over it easily.
“What is jealousy? There is nothing else to be jealous of.”
dragging
Pajon laughs at the words he spits out with emotion.
“It is true that I have a good body. There is no use in that.”
“why. Didn’t I say that one body is amazing?”
“It did. But aren’t you the only body that meets the standard?”
That’s right.
Although it is a body created through regression and various opportunities.
There were a lot of people who had the minimum required to learn Tuapacheonmu.
Oh, even if it’s not too many. I mean, if you’re looking for it, it’s not like you can’t find it.
‘I know better when I learn it myself.’
Unlike Pazon, who was looking for someone with an enormous body and talent.
Tuapa Cheonmu was not a martial art that required so much talent.
Contrary to what I was scared of because I wanted to know how difficult it was.
It wasn’t that hard to learn.
I felt that way in the beginning. The more I learned, the more I knew.
It will be proven by seeing that I, who had no talent at all, had no problem learning it.
‘Honestly, I think this is due to Paison’s virtue.’
until it doesn’t work.
If that doesn’t work, change the method and try again.
There is nothing in the world that is not possible.
That was Pazon’s theory.
It really happened because I moved according to his will.
Damn that.
when you see this
Contrary to Pajon’s intention, he wondered if Tuapa Cheonmu would not be such a difficult martial art.
“You poor disciple. You are misunderstanding something.”
Pajon clicks his tongue and speaks to me.
“As you said, there are many people who are physically fit.”
There was a pathetic look in his eyes.
“How many people have met that condition at your age?”
“That’s right.”
A body that possesses enough conditions to hold Tuapa Cheonmu.
That may be a lot, but how many people have achieved it at such a young age?
It won’t be ten if you count it.
Four should I count the ones that come to my mind right now?
It means four including me.
“There. The most important talent in learning martial arts is neither the body nor martial arts.”
“sure?”
“Patience.”
Are you patient?
Looking at Pajon’s expression, it seemed like he was sincere, but it wasn’t a story that I could relate to very much.
Patience is the most important thing
In order to learn martial arts, isn’t that a part of course that should be included?
If the natural thing is the most important thing, I couldn’t sympathize with it very much.
Did that thought show on your face? Pazon looks at me and clicks his tongue briefly.
“Do you think no?”
“…because it’s not something I can relate to very much.”
I knew very well what you meant.
The pain you feel while learning the tuapacheonmu.
In order to artificially transform the body, it moves bones and stimulates blood beyond muscles.
Because of this, I had to feel pain as if someone was performing a sword dance inside my body.
In expressing the movement, let alone betting, there had to be no distraction in the slightest.
I had to endure the pain and repeat the same motion tens of thousands of times.
‘Once I finished taking one step, I had to do the next one.’
I can’t even count how many times I moved when it piled up like that.
If I had to count, I had to count by date.
I held out my fist for ten days.
I took another 15 days by twisting my back.
It was such a time.
That’s how it gets to now.
Pazon didn’t rush the slow thing, so I repeated it until it was perfect.
No one was impatient or frustrated.
Feeling that time is running out and lacking.
If I wanted to blame, I would blame myself for living a bad life in my previous life, but I didn’t resent anyone.
That’s how it is now.
that is.
“What do you mean was difficult?”
What was it that was difficult?
Patience is a must to learn martial arts.
Not realizing that, I lived my previous life like a bug.
I’m just trying not to do that now.
Pain is something you have to endure.
Frustration is something to be endured.
“Let’s just go. It is late at night.”
At those words, I also stood up.
“So what are you going to say at the end?”
“hmm? ah.”
Pazon followed and asked.
I was curious about what you were trying to say to me earlier, so I asked.
“It was nothing. It’s something you’ll find out later anyway. Don’t worry about it now.”
“…I care more.”
When you say that, how can you not care?
Especially since it was what Pazon said.
That gentleman tells me every day not to make any accidents.
‘I’m not a very quiet person either.’
When Pazon was young. Saying that he would test his martial arts, he harpooned the Munpa alone.
The story of going around looking for Sapa masters and reassembling opponents was still famous.
I wonder if a mad dog is mixed in the special editions of Pazon’s youth.
From what I can see, that person is crazy about martial arts.
‘It’s just that people are crazy…’
Whiik-!
“…!”
Suddenly, as before, chopsticks dug into her eyes.
I hurriedly turned my head to avoid it, but it was really dangerous.
Seeing that, he shouted at Pajon with a startled face.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“It seems like you’re talking nonsense inside, so stop without even realizing it.”
“…”
Damn it.
I clicked my tongue inside.
I was still very quick.
Looking up again, Pazon was already leaving the inn.
I also quietly followed Pazon’s back.
at that time.
“Hey, hey… hey…”
someone calls out.
I looked up and saw that it was a woman who had been harassed earlier.
Is it immature or immature? what did you do about it?
‘It doesn’t matter.’
He looked at the woman and said.
“What is it?”
It was a strange experience to have a person who was not an unmanned person talk to you.
I answered with my eyes widening slightly.
“Hey…!”
The woman looks at me and walks backwards in fear.
“…”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
I’m sure I’ll just skip over a few things. It was a real wound.
Is my face that bad?
The kids said everything was fine.
Anyway, I couldn’t be annoyed with the general public, so I barely endured it and asked again.
“…so what?”
“Ah ah…that there…that…”
The woman points somewhere.
He is a loser who has already left the inn.
With some hasty steps, Pazon disappears and disappears.
What are you so hungry for?
Unexpectedly, I wondered if Pazon had an appetite.
“…ah yet…”
the woman told me.
“Because you didn’t calculate the total…”
“…?”
Didn’t you count?
Did you just bring food?
Hearing the words, his eyes narrowed.
‘Wait, no way…’
The moment I looked at the woman again with a cool thought.
“The same… companions… will calculate.”
“…”
said the woman crying.
haha.
Such a sick old man….
******************
Since when?
It wasn’t long ago, but lately I’ve been dreaming often.
It’s not that strange.
It’s a dream, I used to dream often.
It’s just a problem because most of them are nightmares.
Reminds me of what I did in my previous life.
Most of my dreams reminded me of the people I couldn’t save and who died for me.
It’s such a terrible nightmare.
So I hated the dream.
Because all the dreams I had were just those things.
Together.
These days, I’ve been dreaming a little differently.
It must have been soon after I finally stopped dreaming.
By the time I wonder if I can sleep comfortably now.
I started having other dreams.
It is not a dream related to a previous life.
I’ve never experienced it before.
It was a situation I had never seen before.
Even the sights we see were always different.
If there’s anything that doesn’t change.
That I will appear in your dreams The fact that the person next to him does not change.
It was like that today too.
Today I was walking somewhere.
Next to him was a person who was always there.
[My hands are cold.]
I said this while holding someone’s hand.
I turn my head and look at the person next to me.
I couldn’t see my face.
It’s just that the character is a woman.
All I knew was that he was a character who always appeared in my dreams.
If you can’t see his face, what do you think?
I somehow knew it.
yeah i just knew
Let me carefully hold your hand
the woman laughs
[haha. It’s autumn now. It’s not even cold.]
[…If I’m cold, it’s cold.]
That bastard is playing tricks.
I feel like throwing up because I’m doing that with my face.
Do you have all these crazy dreams? Today, I’m in a particularly bad mood.
Even at such a low price, the woman smiles as if it is good. I think it’s because it’s a dream.
What kind of woman would love a piece like that? I do it because it’s a dream.
[The autumn leaves have bloomed.]
[Is it pretty?]
[This year is especially pretty.]
The hand I was holding is strained.
It was a woman who led the way.
As I followed this, I had the funny thought of wanting to walk more slowly.
[It will be prettier next year.]
[How can you be sure of that?]
[I know everything. Because you’re smart.]
[…Yes.]
[You don’t believe me?]
[I believe you.]
How old are you?
In my previous life, just before I died. He looked like his age.
When I give a rough answer, the woman spits out a voice that says she doesn’t like it.
[I really don’t know anything. Why can’t you believe it?]
[You definitely said you believed it.]
[No. I don’t believe you.]
His voice sounded a bit sulky.
Release the hand you were holding at the same time.
As the touch disappeared, a thought of regret crossed my mind.
The woman, who moved lightly, gently turned her body and spoke to me.
[Then, can I tell you one more thing?]
[What do you mean?]
It’s a happy voice.
me too.
that woman too.
Even the blooming foliage.
It felt exceptionally so.
[Is this child a son or a daughter?]
The woman spat out while stroking my belly.
I had to swallow my breath.
Come to think of it, the woman’s belly was slightly swollen.
Watching it made me feel a bit uneasy.
[I don’t know.]
[Is there anything you want?]
[…It doesn’t matter. Whoever it is.]
It doesn’t matter if it’s a son or a daughter.
At least he will become a better father than his own father.
In my dream, I thought so.
Looking at such a stupid me, the woman laughs.
[okay. I thought you would say that.]
I can’t see your face.
For some reason, he seems to be smiling wide.
I don’t see a smile.
Still, it was clearly felt.
want to catch
I wanted to reach out and hold her hand again.
Move.
If it’s a dream, move according to my will.
My body begins to move slowly as I earnestly wish for it.
Approach the laughing woman.
Come closer and hold out your hand.
I’m trying to hold her hand again.
[No.]
The woman distanced herself from me.
Why? Why is the distance suddenly widened?
I look at the woman with a puzzled reaction, and she says to me while maintaining a smile.
[You can’t do this.]
[Why…?]
[You can’t remember this.]
[Suddenly, what do you mean?]
[That’s it. It’s our promise.]
Walk.
ignoring words you don’t understand. I walked to catch the woman.
but.
The distance has not been shortened.
get impatient
Why is it not narrowed down?
I stretch out my hand and try to run. It was still the same distance.
[What…!]
[You know.]
The woman says as she watches me run like crazy.
[Please be happy.]
The words you say with a smile are full of sadness.
[So that. I think I’ll be fine too.]
[What the hell…!?]
I knew then.
In other words, the beautiful scenery disappears and only pitch-black darkness remains around.
sink down gradually
A dark, terrifying darkness was engulfing us.
Despite knowing that, the bridge did not stop.
I try to catch her, but the woman just quietly whispers at me.
[Hi.]
That was the end.
After those words, darkness engulfs me.
“Huh…!!”
I could open my eyes
“Kuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
He raised his upper body and took a deep breath.
“…What… what the fuck…”
I turned my thoughts to a terribly unpleasant feeling. I wondered if there was such a fucking dream.
“uh?”
Together.
‘…What kind of dream was it?’
For some reason, I couldn’t remember a single dream I had just had.
As if the dream was a lie, not even the slightest memory came to mind.
that is.
I felt really bad.
