Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 117

< Episode 117 > Let’s make a bet. (2)

Let’s

make a bet. Dang So-yeol

asked me to have lunch with him.

Due to overlapping schedules my father said, I declined due to lack of time.

In fact, I didn’t feel any discomfort.

I immediately sulked at my refusal, and the shade on my face caught my eye, but I

couldn’t help it.

We headed to a small outbuilding within Sega.

Sinui’s annex was not too far from Uibang and was a little smaller than the other guest annexes

. Originally, he prepared the largest annex, but as soon as he saw the house

, he said he was angry and said he had no

idea to live in a house like this .

‘anyway.’

Having come from Huashan to Shanxi for several months, I

have come to understand the nature of trust to some extent.

Even though he looks like an old man with a dirty temper and a lot of complaints,

he has a lot of resentment and can’t pass by someone who is sick more than anyone else.

One day during camp, one of the attendants was working and his hands were full of thorns, and his

flesh was cut.

The attendant didn’t pay much attention, saying it happened often, but instead, the god scolded him,

saying that it would cause trouble if left like that.

Whether it’s taking medicine or bringing bandages. He didn’t like having scars

…

He grumbled and his mouth was rough, but the nagging

was repeated until the attendant’s wound was completely healed.

How burdensome it must have been for the attendant, since

the old man, the first member of the central court, had only done that to the attendant’s shallow wound .

I heard later that they even got a wagon and did something in the yard to ride

.

Perhaps thanks to how many times this happened, by the end of the trip,

there were more people who came to follow God as a human being. Faith says it’s annoying and tells them not to stick around, but

it seemed that

people subtly liked it .

Its unique twists and turns didn’t go away, but that’s all.

We arrived at the annex where Shinui was staying. When I arrived, Sinui

was outside, apparently drying herbs.

Faith asks me if you noticed me.

“What is it?

99

“I just came here once.”

“Isn’t the strange guy busy?”

“Where am I going to be busy at home? All I do is eat and pack.”

“Why did a guy who only eats and eats come here?”

Just looking at their conversations, I realized a little how close I was to Shinui

. Originally, I wasn’t meant to have a conversation like this.

Sinui looked at me quietly and said with a frown.

“What did you eat all night?”

“…How did you know?”

“How do you know, when your energy has changed so much, how could you not know?”

It’s normal to not know normally…?

It is usually impossible to grasp the opponent’s qi itself if the state of martial arts is low,

but Sinui was uniquely capable of this. Of course, I don’t know how far I can grasp it, but

it’s probably impossible if

it’s a higher level than this .

‘I don’t think Margie can feel it.’

He seems to have recognized the part where his energy increased after eating the flower, but he probably

still didn’t know about Magi.

“…Do you want me to take care of your body?”

As if Shinui was patronizing, I picked and laughed at the question.

“Is that what you say is good for me?”

“what? So, are you saying you like me or are you saying I like you?”

“Erase the curiosity in your eyes and tell me.”

“…groan.” The moment

I realized that I was alive and well even though I had gathered various energies in my body, Shinui

would examine

my body from time to time as if it were a newly discovered mysterious creature . I

often entrusted myself

with the thought that it would be good for me to see a doctor with good faith and not with anyone else .

Tired of visiting as if to study, he

had been keeping his distance these days.

“What are you so proud of?

“Be alert…”

“Stop talking nonsense and come and sit down.”

“yes.”

Sitting carefully next to the floor, I stretched out my hand following the word of faith.

Touching the pulse or following the blood vessels of the body, hands come and go here and there. Time

didn’t take very long.

“Every time I see it, it’s a strange body

.

From God’s point of view, it would be surprising that the violent bet made by Gu Family’s mental method and the subtle

energy of pottery coexist without bursting into each other.

‘What kind of reaction will it be if I find out that even the demonic energy has three energies?’

Perhaps, if I knew that, I would be more enthusiastic about exploring my body.

Is this curiosity as a lawmaker or something else?

“How is it?”

“Your energy seems to have increased considerably. When I first saw you, that instability disappeared, so

there should be no problem.”

“Thank God, I was worried about what if I was treated like a slob again.”

“What else did you eat that made your body look like this? Did that guy Dohwa take care of something

?”

“…similar.”

In any case, since it was obtained from the surroundings of the Volcano Wave, it would not be completely wrong. Always observe the body and see what the bet is like, but

in the end it was the congressman who would look

more closely physically .

Fortunately, there is a member of the central court near me, and Shinui

seems to be interested in my physical condition, so it was a good exchange.

When the examination was over, I asked Shinui.

“Is there any inconvenience in your stay?”

“There’s nothing to be uncomfortable about. Compared to a cabin with insects, it’s subtle.”

“For that matter, I heard you asked to change the annex.”

“I don’t even work, so I can’t believe that Hyuk and I are using that big house.” “Even if you say so

, rumors spread within

a day that you went to the medical room in between and helped the lawmakers .”

“…what kind of mouth is rotten.”

I suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out at the face of faith that immediately crumpled. Anyway, even though

he looked sloppy, he was an old man who was kinder than anyone else.

How could someone like that step out of the legislature? As if trying to represent Shin’s thoughts,

Shin Noya spoke up.

[You must have valued your own beliefs more than honor.]

‘That’s a difficult word.’

[In a way,

it must be a value that should be valued more than anyone else, not just lawmakers, but military officers.]

It may differ depending on the person, but Shin Noya added that.

Faith rather than honor. I could understand Noya’s words, but

he also said something that couldn’t happen in Moorim. Although it was honor

to learn martial arts for the sake of honor and to follow behind as achievements increased

.

Rather, there were many people who practiced martial arts in order to pursue the honor ahead of them.

“Please take good care of your food. You are old.”

“What kind of guy is worried about the body of a lawmaker? He takes care of himself better than anyone else,

so put away your strange worries.”

“Do you skip meals every day and take good care of yourself?”

“Look at this guy, the guy who always eats dumplings, should I nag him with that too?

”

“. .no.”

“Tsk. The examination is over, so go out and see Hyuk.”

I asked with a look on my face what I was saying. Sinui

says while putting herbs one by one.

“It seemed like he regretted not seeing you often after coming into Kuga.”

“Who does he miss?”

When it comes to Jegal-hyeok, the words of faith feel a little strange.

It was Jegal-hyeok who established a new relationship as much as trust. Because I even

tried to get closer.

My galhyeok was also the most different person from my previous life. He was a man with a lot of facial expressions, like the big burn marks on his face, and

his mouth was tireless.

Today’s Jegal Hyuk was a completely different person.

Her expression did not change as much as that of Namgung Biah, and her words were not said to be mute. They communicated in

short and simple Korean sign language or by writing on the ground, but even that

was not very long.

Following the word of faith, I left the annex and looked for Jegal-hyeok. It wasn’t too difficult to find

.

As long as he said that his hobby and dream was cooking, he just had to search for places related to it

.

Unsurprisingly, I was able to find Jegal Hyuk cutting vegetables in a space in the outbuilding

.

“What are you doing here?”

At the sound of my voice, Jegalhyeok turns his head. Then, he put down the kitchen knife

he was holding and gestured with his hand.

I could see it a few times. That’s roughly ‘Hello bro.’ it meant

“Because he is resting as a guest, he is making something as soon as he arrives.”

Jegalhyeok’s words that cooking is fun were true. In fact, even during the camp,

I followed the attendant and made something to grind.

They even ate deliciously because they had good skills. Jegalhyeok

made various gestures with his hand at my words, and eventually lifted the stick.

It wasn’t a place to write something on the floor, but if you focused your eyes, you

could tell what he was talking about.

-fun.

“…I guess so. What are you making?”

-I don’t know. But this is delicious too.

“Are you cooking in your head again?”

-yes.

Often, my galhyeok made it as they wanted, regardless of the format. Because of that

, the food has failed several times, but there have been many successful times as well.

He said, recalling food that had a good response during camping.

“I thought the fish last time was okay.”

– Is it fried? Are you boiled?

“Fried.”

– Can I do it now?

“No, it was just delicious. I have work for lunch anyway, so I have to go.”

-Then I’ll do it later.

“…uh um… ok, I’ll come back later.” Normally, he would have refused, but Jegal-hyeok

was the one who

enjoyed making things for someone .

This time, I didn’t refuse because he seemed to want to do something for me.

[Do you trust that child now?]

Shinnoya suddenly asked.

As much as I know fragments of my memory, I must be cautious about asking about Jegal-Hyeok

.

I answered Noya’s question.

‘no.’

I could say it bluntly. I don’t fully trust him.

However, there was also a little bit of trust. If I wanted to live differently, I

had a little bit of hope,

not hope that that child could change too .

So, I haven’t touched it yet.

And I was hoping that I wouldn’t use my hands in the future.

I said to Jegal Hyuk.

“I asked to have a meal with Ryeong-hwa later, but what did you make for me?”

Jegalhyeok paused while trying to write something. I saw it clearly. When the name of Lyeonghwa came up, my

galhyeok body stopped.

“You’re new… Hyuk-ah, it looks like your ears are turning red?”

Jegalhyeok hurriedly covered his ears at my words. Even his pupils

were shaking back and forth. Will that be postponed too? It will be smoke.

Je Galhyeok moves cautiously and writes something on the floor.

— when?

“”

It must have been my misunderstanding. This guy is a dangerous guy.

After teasing Jegal-hyeok some more, he said goodbye to Sinui and headed for the center of the old house

. It’s an important conversation, so I’m sure it will be held there.

Sure enough, the more you walk, the more you notice those you couldn’t see.

Probably the people of the Namgungse family.

When I arrived at the entrance, the members of the Gu family bowed their heads to me and moved out of the way.

I was even caught halfway through by an attendant and forced to change my clothes.

I just tried to wear comfortable clothes, but it seemed that it wasn’t.

‘Looks like I’m not late for my work.’ It seemed that

Namgungjin and her father hadn’t arrived yet, and only Namgungbi was sitting alone

. Rather, I opened the door thinking that it was comfortable and went in.

“Since when have you been here…”

Then, as if my body was broken, I had no choice but to stop.

A pure white flower was sitting there.

Shinnoya also speaks in a somewhat trembling voice, as if it seems that I am not the only one who is out of order

.

[…with that kind of looks, I think you can dare call it witchcraft.]

Since it’s witchcraft, I don’t know if it’s really that effective for men.

Even if she just woke up and went out casually, she should have gone out wearing a veil, but the decorated

Namgung Biah had more destructive power than necessary.

Even I, who had seen Namgoong Biah’s face a lot and got used to it,

gasped at the sight of her current appearance.

As I was staring blankly, Namgoongbia’s eyes turned to me.

| | ..

Telegram’s largest novel sharing room.

There are more than 100,000 files such as DC webtoon and novels.

.

“I’m here?”

” I’m here.”

Even after watching with trembling eyes, her gaze turned to Namgoongbi and her lips.

I was a bit worried because it was the injured side, but fortunately the wound healed quickly as if it wasn’t too big

.

Namgoongbi said to me as I was examining her face.

“I found Seol-ah.”

“Oh right. I left without saying anything.” I left the residence during the day, but because I didn’t leave the word

, it seemed that Wiseol-ah was looking for me . I didn’t go back to my place of residence, I went to Dang So-yeol, I went to Shin-eui

, and I came

here .

‘I’ll have to visit you later.’

With that thought in mind, I sat across from Namgoongbia. At the same time, he couldn’t bear to look at his face

and was just staring at the teacup in front of him.

‘It will turn.’

What kind of stupid move is this? I can’t look at you because you’re pretty It was hard to lift my head easily even while

swearing at myself .

I asked if Namgoongbia recognized that too.

“Strange…?”

“uh?”

“…I… am I weird?”

A voice of slight regret It was only then that I slightly raised my head and

met Namgoong Biah’s eyes. It was a look of uneasiness.

That brusque and indifferent-looking guy

was getting very anxious about something so trivial that I wasn’t looking at him. Even though I couldn’t understand why

, my mind and body were showing such conflicting reactions

to this trivial matter .

“…it’s not strange.”

a

Then?”

little anticipation.

A very small anticipation was born in the eyes of Namgoong Biah. He seemed to know

what he wanted even if he didn’t ask .

Originally, she seemed to live without knowing that she was pretty, but recently, it

seems that her thoughts have changed, and she is starting to understand to some extent that she is proud.

It looked like that, but it was more strange that he didn’t know.

Unable to overcome Namgung Biah’s persistent gaze, I spat out the words with a sigh.

“Yeah…it’s pretty. kinda okay.”

Shin Noya, who had been patient with my words, eventually spoke to me.

[Shouldn’t I have said that stupidly?]

‘…That’s right.’

[What is okay? The guy who says he uses chemicals

is so boring that he was like a fire when he hit the kids after the kids, but who sprayed water on them now?]

‘Stop hitting me. It hurts.’

As he spoke, he glanced at Namgoongbia as if he noticed. It’s because

I wanted to think it wasn’t a little bit .

But contrary to my expectations, Namgoongbia was smiling happily.

“I wanted to hear that.”

He says that and smiles brightly.

As if it wasn’t awkward to smile now, he looked at me brightly.

Funny enough, the damned emotions piled up in my memory

are washed away by that simple act.

It won’t wash off completely.

The past you can’t be forgotten either.

1=1 de

==

Very suddenly, I remembered what I said to you in the past.

-You look like the moon.

At that time, it didn’t mean anything special.

After the magic sword, his skin was white, and it was night, so the moonlight was on his blue white hair

.

It’s simply that. That’s what I said because it looked like that at the moment.

I remember you standing still for a long time listening to my words.

What were you thinking about?

Now, I wanted to ask. What were you thinking at the time?

There were so many things I wanted to ask. Now I can’t ask anything, but that’s it

.

I didn’t want to get involved with you in this life, but somehow it got tangled up a lot

.

“This is because of you.”

“huh…?

He shamelessly shifted the blame. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but the female concubine

replies with a fierce expression

. Seeing that, I giggled.

After chatting like that for a while, the servant Shi

told me that his father and Namgungjin had appeared.

I corrected my posture a bit.

That’s all because I had a long, important schedule.

‘…I was originally going to run away.’

Now, I was a little surprised at myself for half admitting it. Did I give up?

[I just said thank you for being pretty and took it.]

‘…’

I felt a bit resentful of myself for not being able to say no to Shin Noya’s words.

Immediately after that, the conversation between Namgungse Ka and Kugawa began.

I immediately knew one thing.

It was something I had expected in the past.

My father had been silent when I asked, but now he knew for sure.

It is true that the relationship between the father and Namgung-jin is very bad.
