Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 110
< Episode 110 > Oops. ⑴
Oops. ⑴
After leaving the road to return to Sega, the season has changed.
The sweltering heat passed, and the green leaves that contained vitality
were already wearing their colors.
Autumn has arrived, full of calm winds.
I was already going through the third season, considering that it was spring when I first came back
.
“We’ve finally arrived…”
He twisted his stiff back after sitting in the carriage for too long.
Dudeuk-!
When I moved my body slightly, I heard a gurgling sound.
As I entered the city, I saw a lot of crowded people.
[This is Shanxi?]
‘Is this your first time here?’
[Can’t that be? It’s just that it’s so different from what I remember.] Is it
that much different from when Shin Noya was active? I was a little puzzled when he said it as if it was
my first visit .
‘Because a lot of time has passed.’
Presumably knowing when to arrive, Bia Namgung, who had been sleeping on Wi Seol-ah’s shoulder,
opened her eyes slightly. I was about to wake him up, but it
all happened on his own.
Namgoongbia stretches out her hand and turns around. I looked at it and
said
“You must have slept very well, you look refreshed?”
“…refreshing.”
It was a half-ticked question, but Namgoongbia accepts it as it is.
He smiled and turned his gaze to the window.
Perhaps the Weiseolah who slept with him will wake up soon.
“I think it will arrive in a little while.”
He looked away from Muyeon’s horse, who was walking alongside the carriage.
In the distance, the wall surrounding the old house catches my eye.
Seeing the stuffy walls around the three, it felt real again.
“You really are back.”
It’s back home after months.
When the carriage entered Kuga-ro, countless people had already gathered at the front gate.
I had expected this to happen in the first place. I mean, I sent you a letter to Sega beforehand
.
Even the return of Gu Ryeong-hwa would be noisy, but since the names of Shinui and Swordsman
were added.
After getting off the carriage, I see a middle-aged man with a fierce look at the front of the crowd. Hohyeop,
Gucheolun’s father came out first and was waiting.
[The author must be your father.]
‘Can you recognize me right away?’
[They look the same, but it’s strange not knowing…]
…Are they that similar? Hagiya, I think I’ve heard a lot that we look alike since we were young
.
I think I listened to it more as I grew up.
[In the meantime, you look more ferocious. It’s great in many ways.]
‘…’
It’s absolutely not a compliment.
I walked and looked at my father.
Eyes meet with father. It was still a little difficult
to face the red eyes that emitted a deep light .
“hmm.”
One eyebrow of my father, who had been looking at me without saying a word, trembled for a moment.
The crimson light filled with enthusiasm passed over me.
It seems that he has noticed a change in me.
‘It’s something I hid because I’m trying to hide it.’
It wasn’t that long, but it was enough time to gather energy
. I was able
to purify all the magic that had been omitted from Rakshasa and
calm the bets that were wandering around outside the middle of the day.
It seems that he has reached a level where he can hide his own state, but
it seems that he cannot avoid his father’s gaze.
My father watched me silently before opening his mouth.
“I have received both the letter you sent and the letter from the Volcano Sect. It seems like a lot happened
.”
“…something happened.”
At my words, my father nodded slightly. It was a very monotonous response.
I just wanted to return the ghosts and bring back the old shoes, but something
got attached to me. Did I know that such an accident would happen?
“Since the trip is over, take a day off and come to my room by midnight tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Even though we hadn’t seen each other in a long time, this was the end of the conversation. My father quickly passed me by and
headed to the place where Sword Hu and Sinui were.
The father approached Shinui and slightly bowed his head.
“long time no see. faith.”
“…But, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. It’s been a while.”
“Have you been well?”
“Can the old man, who is getting old, be in good health? It’s just that I can’t die and live.
It’s fortunate that the family’s complexion doesn’t look bad.”
My father and Shinui must have known each other.
Hagiya There was a period when my father was active, so it wouldn’t be strange if we met
.
“We have prepared it without any inconvenience during your stay.”
“What have you prepared?”
“Since you don’t want a burdensome level, we have prepared a separate building.”
“… Tsk, I’m already dissatisfied with being greeted like this, and I
‘m sure a small room is enough.”
Even though his tone of faith was casual, his father’s expression was still the same.
The gaze now turned to the swordsman. Gu Ryeong-hwa was firmly attached to Sword Hu’s back, but
when his father’s gaze was on him, his shoulders trembled slightly.
Geomhu looked at his father and calmly took an example.
“…long time no see.”
“Yes, long time no see.”
“I heard you plan to stay with your daughter.”
“If you allow me, I would like to do so.”
“I know what you mean, so there is no reason to refuse. I want you to be free of discomfort.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
The father then looked at Gu-ryeong-hwa, but said nothing.
“Good job.
That was the end.
I wondered if he was too indifferent to his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, but
Gu Ryeong-hwa’s face became more comfortable with such a reaction.
After the greeting, by the time I thought I could go in, someone
was approaching my father.
“…huh?”
It’s Namgoongbia.
Namgoongbia came down from the carriage and was approaching her father.
“Meet the head of the Shanseo-gu family. My name is Namgoongbia of the Namgung family.”
He lowers his head slightly and speaks, but his tone is different. I had never seen Namgoong Bia
speak so accurately.
The first person I ever saw was there. Where does the fierce feeling go? A
neat atmosphere emanates from the upright waist and neatly trimmed hair.
The slurred tone that was characteristic of Via Namgoong disappeared and she
took on the appearance of a mature and dignified woman.
“…who is he?”
[I don’t know if it’s the girl who was drooling while dozing off
earlier…] It was a shockingly sudden change.
The father looked at Consort Nam and nodded.
“…I heard the news of Gu Chul-woon La Hao. He said he was traveling with his son.”
“Thanks to Gongja Gu’s consideration, I am grateful to be able to accompany you.”
“Though that happened, I hope you know that Crown Prince Namgung is looking for Sojeo.
Now that we have confirmed Sojeo’s whereabouts, we need to contact him
.”
At her father’s words, Namgoongbi nodded her head.
After that, we exchanged a few more words and soon came this way.
“what?
99
“Huh…?”
When I asked in surprise, he immediately returned to his original expression and tone.
What is this? It’s a little bit scary…?
Was he originally someone who could talk like this?
“What, no, what were you talking about?”
“…Until I send someone from the house… stay here…”
Seeing him return to normal, it feels like he has seen an illusion for a moment.
Besides, it seemed that the Namgung family would be contacted. It was not a
normal companion in the first place . From what I expected,
I thought that
the people of Namgung were already stationed in Guga and were waiting .
Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Are you okay?”
In such a situation, I unknowingly asked Bia Namgung.
I’m not sure
if I was asking if it would be okay to go back or if it would be okay to stay here for a while .
It was a story that I really spit out without even realizing it.
Namgoongbia gave a slightly surprised look at my question, but she quickly smiled.
Rather, I was taken aback by the sudden smile.
Namgoongbiah says.
“are you okay.”
It was a firm tone.
“…because there’s nothing to be afraid of now.”
After spitting out incomprehensible words, I moved on following the guidance of the attendant.
What was the meaning of these words?
It seemed like it contained a lot of meaning, but more than that, the smile that Namgoong Bia
had lingered in my mind.
[She must have been a girl with a knack for bewitching people.]
She seemed to know that she wasn’t talking about her appearance.
The more I went, the more I saw aspects of Namgoongbia that I didn’t know existed. To be precise
, it should be said that it is different from after the demonic sword.
Even though they were clearly the same person, they were very different.
It was different from the empty eyes she always had, and the smile that started to laugh even a little bit
was different.
[I’m sorry.]
I nodded at Shinnoya’s words. If you say sorry, that would be true
To be honest, it was a bit disappointing.
It’s because I realized too late that I was a person who could be like that.
Someone grabbed my hand as I was staring blankly at it. I felt
a warm, soft palm .
“young master ! Hurry in!”
All of a sudden, Wi Seol-ah came over and held my hand.
“Okay, we have to go in now.”
As if the conversation is over, the father also goes to Sega with the guests.
‘Did I tell you to rest for a day?’
Asking me to come to my room must have meant that in itself. I
was a bit tired from the long camp, so I needed some time to rest.
‘Flowers are the biggest problem.’
The flowers obtained by killing Rakshasa at the Black Night Palace branch
had not been eaten until several months had passed. I thought that at least seven weeks would be enough
, but it was because
the identification with the body took much longer than expected.
[Isn’t there something that was postponed because I couldn’t get used to it?]
There are more than 100,000 files such as
Telegram’s largest novel sharing room, DC Webtoon novel, etc.
…….
I wanted to learn
the sense of proper mixing of pottery and application of bet that Shin Noya showed me .
‘I just saw that it was poison right away if the bets increased there.’
Not only was it not easy to consume it during camping, but
it was decided that getting used to the changed state was the first priority. This
was a possible choice because of
the strange characteristic of flowers that neither wither nor dissipate over time .
Another thing I was able to figure out.
‘The energy of a flower cannot be felt without Magi.’
This was close to what I expected, but I was half-sure.
On the long journey, I didn’t feel anything about flowers, let alone swordsmanship.
It is said that it is wrapped in cloth, but it is tightly packed with energy like this.
In the meantime, Namgoongbia seemed to be able to smell the scent of blood, but she
didn’t seem to be able to feel the energy of the flowers either.
It was a rather fortunate part for me.
[Do you think it will happen now?]
Shinnoya asked. I mean, can I eat it now?
‘Yes, this is enough.’
If you ask me if I’m perfect, I won’t be able to give a definite answer, but
I thought I was prepared enough to be satisfied.
‘I’m thinking of eating tonight.’
Shin Noya doesn’t say much about what I’m saying. It was a reaction that seemed to be taken care of
.
The residence, which had been in for a long time, was still the same. Even if I wasn’t there, the servants
would have been managing it, so it’s only natural.
Some of the people who left for Shanxi together must also be tired, but immediately unpack and
start working.
I felt great in many ways.
I washed my tired body and changed my clothes. There was still time before
the sun went down , so I was thinking of taking a break.
“young master.”
A servant comes and speaks.
“what’s the matter?”
“They say there are guests in the annex.”
“Suddenly, what guests? My guest…?”
I had just returned, and a customer asked Rani, standing up.
“who?”
I had no choice but to move in a hurry to the attendant’s answer that followed.
ten days.
My guest came to Guga and said that he had spent ten days.
It was too long to spend in an unfamiliar place without anyone looking for it.
If that’s the case, it was just unlucky, and it was a free time to watch next time.
It must have been a
somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere for Geum Ok-yeop from a prestigious family, much less,
but the girl said that she had spent ten days here.
I asked looking at the girl.
“…How come you are here?”
I try to make eye contact, but the girl tries to avoid my gaze.
The girl, who had been drinking steaming tea for a long time with a slightly reddened face, remained silent
.
Dangsojeo.”
When I called out, the girl flinched and shuddered.
“yes…?”
“I heard that Sojeo came to see me.”
Ji Keum Ok-yeop, the party leader I met at the last party meeting, was sitting in front of me.
Now, the girl who will be called Dokbi in the future.
Dang So-yeol takes a deep breath and barely opens his mouth.
“yes yes ! I came…”
It seemed like he had the courage to say it, but as he spoke, the back talk faded.
“…From Sacheon to here? How far?”
“Yeah, not very… it must have been far?”
As he speaks, he turns into a question whether it is strange. Is it not far away? I’ve been there
.
‘It’s me, I went with the intention of robbing Vigo, but what is this guy?’
When I first heard it, I thought for a moment that it must have been looking for Namgung Biah, not me
.
When I recalled that this is Gu Ga, I could see that it would not work.
That’s how it was said that this was a bad thing.
[Bad baby.]
‘What, what is it?’
For a moment I thought I had heard it wrong.
He called out to Shin Noya again at the ear-piercing swear words, but there
was only silence as to where Noya had disappeared.
In the end, I decided to leave Noya alone and focus on the dangsoyeol in front of me.
“Are you saying that it’s true that you came to visit me?”
“yes yes! I came to see Gu Gong-ja…”
“Why?”
“I see…Ebebbeb!”
I stop talking and Dang Xiaoyeol slaps my lips. Then, with a flushed face,
he began to gulp down the roasted tea.
‘…is that hot?’
Even I, who is learning the art of cooking, can’t drink hot food well, but
it seems that the heat of sugar is not too hot.
In the end, Dang So-yeol, who drank all the tea, spits hot air and tells me.
“Gu, Gu Gongja-nim…”
“Yes?”
“…I came here because I had something I wanted to recommend.”
From Sichuan to Shanxi, the blood relatives of Tang Wen directly.
Why did you come all the way here for something so important?
I wondered and asked Dang So-yeol.
“Tell me.”
“Before… there was something I wanted to ask…”
“What…?”
Tang Xiaoyeol’s eyes, which seemed to have calmed down somewhat, were mixed with faint resentment
.
The question mark that popped up in my head
was able to know the answer right away to Dang So-yeol’s question.
“…You said your name was Gujeol-yeop…what happened?”
…Oops.
It reminded me of something I had completely forgotten about.
