Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 116

< Episode 116 > Let’s make a bet. (1)

Did I hear you wrong?

No matter how I look at it, I don’t think it’s a word that will come out of the current situation.

I keep looking at my father with puzzled eyes, but as soon as he finishes talking,

he takes his gaze away from me.

“My lord.”

“I am listening. tell me.”

“Are you on bad terms with Namgung’s wife?”

My father reacted again to my words. The gaze returns to

me from the bookshelf piled up on the tabletop .

“Why do you think so?”

“I guess it’s because I feel that way.”

Namgung-jin’s reaction and the reaction my father is showing me now somehow

made me feel that way.

‘Did something happen between the two of them?’

My father did not answer my question. He just quietly

moved his gaze away from me.

I didn’t affirm it, but on the contrary, I didn’t deny it either.

“I was originally going to talk about it at night, but now that it’s come like this, you can bring it up now.

”

‘…Are you going to ignore what I just asked.’

I didn’t hear the answer, but my intuition seemed like it wouldn’t tell me the end. I don’t think I’ll get a good response unless

I ask more .

my father tells me

“First of all, it’s the story about Taeseondan that we promised.”

“yes.”

Come to think of it, I decided to get something like that.

There was a story about going to Hwasanpa and getting a command if you bring Guryunghwa.

‘…I forgot because I ate a lot of other things.’

From the demon of the volcano to the Magi of Swordsman and the flower of yesterday. I gained too many opportunities in less than half a year .

Thanks to that, the inside of the body was somewhat saturated.

He has even received other advice from Mae Huaxian.

“It must be poison to you now.”

And my father seemed to know that too.

Even so, the amount of bets increased because of last night’s flower energy.

Thanks to that, the cleanup of the energy that is now spinning is not over.

So, there was a feeling that it was too much to eat spiritual altars and add energy.

As I was thinking over and over again about what to do, my father suddenly asked me.

“Have you crossed the wall?”

He straightened his back at his father’s sudden question.

He didn’t look at me, but I knew it intuitively. Just now, in the blink of an eye,

my father went through my body.

lies don’t work It seemed that everyone had already been caught. It wasn’t even something to

lie about in the first place .

Finally, after a moment of hesitation, I came up with an answer.

“…overdone.”

“Ugh 99

O

My father nodded at my words.

” Feel so good.”

At the same time as he spoke, the corner of his father’s mouth went up slightly. I was embarrassed because it was the first time I had seen

my father make such an expression .

‘Are you happy?’

It ‘s too scary for that .

“It is a state of excellence for your age, but do not fall into arrogance and devote yourself.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“If you wish, I can give you Taeseondan as originally promised, but is there anything else you want

?”

I know it’s not very helpful right now, so it

would have been better if I had received something else. Or you can take it and eat it later.

“I think I need some time to think about it.”

At my words, my father nodded again. It would mean giving them time to think

.

And my father didn’t say anything to me.

I waited to see if I was sorting out the words to bring out, but the words didn’t come back.

‘…what?’

This won’t be the end of the talk. why don’t you say anything After arriving as a volcanic wave

, there were probably more important things to do than the fact that I had reached my climax,

such as the fight against the bloody enemy and the treatment of the sword .

I even wrote it down moderately in the letter, and I prepared an excuse to say in preparation for this time

.

Dad didn’t ask anything.

Instead, he asks me with an expression of why are you still here?

Do you have anything more to say?

“…that’s what I want to say, why don’t you ask more?”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you write this and that in a letter and send it?”

For at least three days, Shinnoya and I had been thinking about what to say.

It was written after much thought, but it seems that my father is not interested in it at all

.

As if to prove it, my father says it nonchalantly.

“As you said, it was all written in the complete book, so what’s the problem?”

“…is that enough?”

“It seems that the important talk is over, so let’s leave.”

Instead of asking further questions, he resolutely tells them to leave. Are you really not looking at this?

It was rather fortunate that I didn’t have to talk about what I had prepared.

This made me feel even more uncomfortable.

It was unexpected that he wouldn’t ask at all.

‘Although I knew my father had that kind of personality.’

Could it be that there is too much of an interest?

It’s a bit absurd.

Whatever it was, I thought it was better and left the room. Something came to my mind

and I told my father.

“There is a branch of the head of the household, right?”

There is no answer. But I took it out of my mouth and listened. It was because he remembered that

Dang So-yeol had said he wanted to go to the Yongbong branch together .

To be honest, I said it because I thought I would be rejected.

“Dang So-jeo said he wanted to go with me. Can I go?”

“You mean our daughter?”

“yes.”

Already this year alone, it has been out and about twice.

Considering that he was tied like a leash and stuck in Sega in his previous life until he became Sogaju,

even this was a big difference.

But at this time, why are you sending me to the Yongbong branch, where there are overflowing people around

? That’s a story that can’t possibly happen…

“Let’s go.”

“I can’t do it either. I’ll go ahead and say no…what?”

“The invitation to the meeting is already there, so I will send it through the general.”

“…why?”

“hmm?

99

When I asked again, my father made a strange expression.

No, why are you making that face?

“Why are you allowing this?”

“You’re asking something strange. You asked me to send it, so I said yes.”

“Because it’s weird, do you mind if I go outside?”

“If you want it, do it.”

“…what is this?”

Something was going on strangely. This shouldn’t be like this, right? Why

are you allowing it?

It was a very different attitude from his previous life. That change in appearance confuses me even more

.

‘What could be the problem?’

It wouldn’t be a small story that would make a difference simply because I had reached my climax,

but my father had the same expressionless face as the first time.

Something seemed to have changed, but I couldn’t figure out what had changed.

“Is there anything more to say?”

“…doesn’t exist.”

“Then let’s go out now.”

In the end, he stood up in response to the resolute order of congratulations. In the meantime, Shinnoya asks me.

[You’re not saying you’re not going.]

‘You mean the Yongfong branch?’

[Yeah, he said he didn’t like long distances anymore.]

As Noya said, he didn’t like going out again, and

he hated long-distance travel even more.

It was important that the Yongbong branch was held in Hanam.

It wasn’t far from the other places, and there were people I needed to meet.

I was waiting for the right time because I had no good excuse, but this

was a good excuse.

It’s still a few years away from the timing, but in other words, the sooner the better

.

It took a little while to go with Dang So-yeol, but that’s about it.

With that in mind, Noya asks me.

[Hanam. Shaolin is still in Henam.]

‘Shaolin is definitely in Henam.’

Shaolin of Hanam.

One of the Gupai rooms is the place with the most influence among the munpa belonging to the Jajeong faction.

This was more understandable considering that the Danang Murim League was located in Hanam

.

And, speaking of Shaolin, there is no proper post-apocalypse right now, but a few years later it

produced

a post-apocalyptic exponent to take the position of Shinryong, which had been vacant for several years after Peng Woo-jin .

He was also a person I had a close relationship with in my previous life.

[If you go to Hanam, can you go to Shaolin?]

‘To Shaolin? why?’

[There is something I want to know a little bit. It’s really all I need to do to go and see it, so

let’s ask.]

‘Is it okay if I just go and watch it without doing anything else?’

[Yes, just looking at it is enough, so don’t worry.] The

distance between Moorim and Shaolin isn’t too far, and it

was the first time Noya asked me to do something like this. If you really just go and see, there won’t be a big problem.

I was about to organize my thoughts and go out of the room, but my father

said to me from behind.

” for a moment.

99

I turned around at my father’s voice.

“I have a schedule after a visit, so

I will send you the location separately so that you can keep yourself tidy.”

“A sudden schedule?”

What is your schedule ? After that, I was thinking of going to see Sinui.

Since I am puzzled, my father adds another word. Upon hearing that, my expression

changed in an instant.

“I have a conversation about your engagement schedule, so don’t be late.”

‘Ugh.’

It was a place that seemed cumbersome and tired just by listening to it.

After escaping from the housekeeping room, he went to the annex where Dang So-yeol was staying.

There were unmanned soldiers who seemed to belong to the Tang Dynasty.

When I appear, I bow my head and show my respect, but I do not block it.

Even a blood relative of the Gu family

wouldn’t be able to come and go this freely, but did Dang So-yeol put in a separate word?

As I approach the annex, someone jumps at me.

“Old Gongja!”

“hello.”

He hadn’t even entered the annex yet, but somehow Dang So-yeol knew that

he had jumped out with socks.

“Ah lady! You must wear something!”

“Oh right.

99

Dang So-yeol’s attendant hurriedly

shouted from behind.

Dang So-yeol reappeared, looking much more calm and tidy than before

. I had seen him squirming just before, so I

didn’t know how to react.

[Just say that. That would be the most comfortable.]

Following Noya’s advice, I just laughed awkwardly.

“Thank you for coming.”

“no. I have something to tell you.”

“What would you like to say…?”

When I said that I would accept the Yongbongji Hoegeon, which was recommended to me the other day, Dang So-yeol

was startled and jumped around.

“uh. how …! Really? really?”

“yes ? Yes …. The head of the family said it was okay.”

| | …

..

would you like it that way?

It was difficult to see a blood relative of a prestigious family doing something like that.

‘It seems that Namgoongbi’s son said he was going too.’

He said he would go with me if I was going, but since Namgung-jin even

showed up at the Gu family, I didn’t know what would happen.

“When can I leave? What should I wear? What should I wear, what should I bring…?”

“Because I came in a hurry,

I couldn’t bring much, but by any chance,

you said you didn’t have your favorite poison…”

The smile I was trying to create was almost broken.

To begin with, ordinary people don’t like poison, lady

. No, does poison have a different taste in the first place

?

In a previous life, he had met someone from Tang Dynasty who had become a demon, but

he didn’t seem to carry poison in that way.

Just to the extent that his resistance to poison is stronger than that of other warriors?

Dang So-Yeol had that level of obsession, so could he have reached the point of total invulnerability?

Looking at Dang So-yeol, who is holding on to his reddened cheeks and smiling,

he has a complicated mind.

‘…I think it’s true that he has a crush on me.’

It was more difficult not to know how to react openly like that.

[…That’s right. You have to react openly like that to notice it.] I

hated Shin Noya for trying to give me a pick even in the midst of

‘…’ .

‘Why did you have a crush on me?’

No matter how you think about it, it’s questionable. The only thing I’ve seen in this life

was face-to-face for a few days at the party meeting.

We didn’t talk to each other, and we didn’t even meet. There’s definitely not a single

spot where you’ll develop a crush .

I said while looking at the dangsoyeol.

“Dang soo-jeo.”

“yes yes?”

“You know I’m engaged…?”

“…ah.”

[This crazy guy…! How can I say that so openly!]

Shinnoya burst into anger, but he had nothing to say. Her engagement to Namgung was a pre- established fact

, and she knew very well that it was a lie to herself to say that she had no

feelings for Namgoongbia, let alone Wiseol-ah .

Obviously, Dang So-yeol’s recommendation was a good excuse to go to the Yongbong branch, but

if it was true that Dang So-yeol had a different mind from me, there were too many problems to leave alone

.

[To act rationally only at times like this. I really can’t help but say no.]

‘Shin No, you just don’t like me?’

[…You’re only quick to notice when you’re like this… Tsk!]

It was a bit unpleasant for Dang So-yeol. If I don’t have a heart,

I’ll feel bad because it was my guess.

Even if it was true, it wasn’t something I would say in front of my face. That’s why I didn’t

want to go back and say it, so I chose it.

Dang So-yeol quietly looks into my eyes. Dang Soyeol’s eyes looked sad

or pitiful.

After chewing on his lips for a while, he speaks to me.

“It’s okay…that’s it.”

“yes ?”

Before I can ask what’s okay, another word pops out.

“I can do it. I am.

“…what what?”

Dang So-yeol said boldly, clenching his fists as if he had made up his mind.

The problem is that he didn’t tell me what he said he could do.

and.

[…What did this dog-like world want to show me?]

A master in the back had to feel betrayed quietly by the world.
