Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 128
< Episode 128 > Where did it go? (1)
Where did it go? ⑴
The mealtime was fortunately peaceful.
Although he was beaten by Gu Ryeong-hwa, he was able to withstand it and
was able to quickly explain the poison that Dang So-yeol suddenly gave him.
Of course, even if he explained it, he couldn’t avoid the vague smile from the swordsman
.
As if it was right that he respected swordsman, Dang Soyeol
spoke of each and every achievement of swordsman. He even
succeeded in making
the swordsman’s ears turn red by reciting famous famous lines that the swordsman had uttered .
‘My plum will not be defeated by the wicked! Rani …. The swordsman was also a person full of romance
.’
Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but feel my hands and feet shrink, but
it was a good time as I could see the swordsman panicking on a rare occasion.
The meal was over soon.
The swordsman also accepted the story well, as if Dang So-yeol was not offended.
However, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s eyes staring at Dang So-yeol were quite fierce.
[He had a gentle puppy-like face, but when the child gets angry, he turns into a wolf.]
‘I’m a praying mantis, but are you saying that kid is a wolf? This is a bit discriminatory
.’
[Looking at you talking nonsense, it looks like you ate your conscience while eating…]
Is it because you feel like you’ve lost your teacher? It felt like
the two of them had become quite distant .
After eating and drinking tea, we finished our seats.
Dang Xiaoyeol seemed to want to stay longer in many ways, but it
seemed impossible for a long time because the condition of the sword was not good.
How can I say it, I feel a little tired after the test.
I was trying to take care of it little by little to see if not only me but also Gu-ryeong-hwa knew about it
.
In the meantime, I looked over at Namgoongbi, who was eating alone.
Wi Seol-ah is already chattering by the side, but
it seems that her soul is still out.
“Are you feeling okay?”
This is what I asked after the sword on the way back after finishing the meeting.
“As you can see, thanks to you, I feel healthier than before.”
Even to me, Geomhu seems to have regained a lot of health…
“What’s wrong?”
The look wasn’t very good. At my question, Geomhu seemed a bit surprised.
The response was to ask how did you know, so I kindly added an explanation.
“You’re looking pretty bad right now.”
“…It looks like it’s showing off a lot.”
“yes.”
Could it be that he was trying to hide it? If that’s the case, the swordsman was someone who should
n’t lie .
What are you going to hide when you look like that?
“Your brother is very worried.”
“…this.”
Gu Ryeong-hwa was restless in the back and only looked at her teacher.
Knowing that, Geomhu laughs shyly.
“I tried not to worry, but it’s already too late.”
“Are you having any problems?”
It doesn’t seem to be a physical problem, but has something happened recently?
“Okay. This, too, will all flow naturally.”
Geomhu, who was silent as if avoiding an answer, thanked me and
approached Gu Ryeong-hwa.
As Geomhu stroked her hair, Gu Ryeong-hwa smiled.
It was the appearance of returning from a gold wolf to a squirrel.
“Hey… Gu Gongja.”
I turned my head at the voice I heard next to me.
“It was so nice to be able to eat like today…!”
“You mean it was nice to have a meal with the swordsman instead of me?”
“Uh…uh…that’s not it…! It’s not like that, though.”
As if embarrassed by my pun, I laughed a little because it was a little funny
.
Seeing this, Dang So-yeol paused slightly and asked me.
“Are you laughing now?”
“yes ?”
“Confucius, aren’t you laughing at me just now?”
“No… Yes, if you feel bad.”
“no! Not bad!”
Having said that, Dang Soyeol smiled broadly. Her smile was so benign that I stopped involuntarily
.
It must have been because it was a smile I had seen somewhere. It resembles the laughter of poisonous rain.
I’d like to think it’s the same person as you, but the weight of her laughter was different.
It was more so because it wasn’t Dok-bi’s dark, heavy, and exhausted smile, but a smile that seemed to be
genuinely enjoyable .
[Do you regret it?]
‘What are you talking about all of a sudden?’ While answering Noya’s words in a playful way
, I felt a little tired as I thought
I knew what Noya meant by the question .
[I think so.]
‘I don’t regret it.’
Killing poison rain with my own hands? that was what had to be done
for her rather than for me.
It should have been then.
“Can you call me next time?”
I nodded my head at Dang Soyeol’s question.
He hesitated a bit, but Dang So-yeol smiled as if it didn’t matter.
“The two of us… can’t we?”
“Ah…”
“I’m sorry. It’s okay if you don’t answer…!”
After shouting, he puts something in my hand and runs away like crazy.
He had a small gourd in his hand. When I shake it, it makes a clicking sound.
It looks like there is something in it.
“…what kind of Germany is this?”
Now I was absolutely certain that it was poison. I think I was poisoned
before we broke up last time too .
The problem is that I don’t know what it was given for.
Once I put it in the bag. you can ask next time
After sending everyone away, I asked the attendant to tidy up the house, and then I walked outside for a while
.
The promenade of Gu Family is not very beautiful. At least, when my mother was around,
I think she worked hard to take care of it.
Until now, I hadn’t touched it.
“Bocchan, what kind of flower is this?”
Wi Seol-ah, who I was walking with, asks me.
Some kind of white and pretty flowers are long, but I don’t even know the name.
“Baekyuhwa (白幼花).”
Bia Namgung, who was following behind, whispered.
“What, do you even know the name of the flower?”
It was quite surprising.
No one else knows the names of flowers. Bia Namgung
puts her gaze on the flower Wiseol-ah is looking at and continues the conversation.
“It’s my mother’s favorite flower.”
After saying that, she walks over to the flower and gently sits down.
“…It bloomed here too.”
He carefully touched the flower and asked me.
“Can I take this…?”
“What are you going to take it for?”
“Yeah…”
It’s nothing, he said, because it’s not difficult to give him a single flower.
Bia Namgung pulls out a white oil flower and puts it on Wi Seol-ah’s head.
“Yes?
99
Wi Seol-ah reacted as if asking what this was, so Namgoong Bia stroked Wi Seol-ah’s hair and
said,
“It’s pretty…. My mom did it this often.”
When Wi Seol-ah laughs, Namgoong Bi-ah also smiles slightly.
[…it looks like it’s shining because there are pretty things attached to it.
]
[Crunch…]
I stroked the upper seol-ah for a while, and carefully
lifted the other white oil like soil so as not to damage the roots.
Namgoongbia’s white hands were dirty with dirt, but she didn’t seem to care
.
“You seem to be fine now.”
I asked, remembering how I acted sensitively with a red face earlier.
“…huh.”
Namgoongbia nodded slightly. My ears were still slightly red, but
was it because of the cold autumn wind or because of the effects of earlier?
“I’m fine now… maybe.”
The voice that whispered in the wind was also shy.
“…I know that…?”
Princess Namgoong asked.
99
“A child… he doesn’t look good just by holding hands.”
“what?
99
“…just like that.”
what are you saying all of a sudden
Having said that, he walked forward. Is it because of my mood that I seem to walk a little faster
?
“It’s cold, Bocchan. Go quickly!”
While I was still bruising, Wi Seol-ah grabbed my hand and dragged me away.
By the way, from this day on, Namgung Bi did not take a nap in my room for a while.
A day later, I went to visit Namgungjin.
Because it was the schedule I had promised, I went there as soon as I finished my morning training.
As expected, Namgung-jin was swinging his sword at the training ground prepared in the outbuilding like last time
.
The reason why the surroundings are somewhat empty is probably because Namgung’s warriors are still undergoing treatment
.
“I’ve set up a conversation with the Japanese elder.”
Namgung-jin, who swung his sword to the fullest, said. It seemed like he was talking
to me because of something I asked him to do the other day .
“Perhaps it will be tonight.”
“All right.”
I didn’t ask for anything out of the ordinary.
I just told him to give me the feeling that if Elder Il wants something, he just wants to be heard
.
“Can you not go back to the Sega family?”
“There are things more important than Sega’s work, so it’s okay.”
“…hmm. All right.”
Originally, he would have finished the schedule of the ramen engagement ceremony and returned to the family with Namgung Biah
.
I was caught on this side and couldn’t go.
‘It’s not exactly where I’m going.’
What is that bastard’s sword…
[That bastard’s sword! The one
who knows the warrior’s greed better than anyone else
. In a way, it was a serious thing
.
why wouldn’t it have continued? Why did Namgung forget his sword? Even with a degenerate sword
, he could not help but wonder
that he was reigning as the number one swordsmith, while wondering .
“Are you done now?”
“yes.”
After waiting for several days, Namgungjin also began to urge it.
Hey, you can’t just go over the yard that took until now.
“I want you to follow what I said.”
“…don’t worry.”
We talked about many things, but
there was one thing that I bet on the most.
when you realize about this.
I will also teach Namgoong Biah.
Namgung-jin did not show a very good reaction to this part.
What would be so inconvenient about teaching blood relatives about enlightenment? In the end, I didn’t bend, and
I came to an agreement to
teach only ‘Namgoongbia’ .
Isn’t it funny? In the first place, I
was not interested in what would happen to the others, and I only wanted to teach
Namgoong Biah .
Namgung-jin put forward the condition that he would not directly teach it to other blood relatives
.
Why, why did you put such a condition?
There are various thoughts about Namgung-jin’s intentions, but the most likely prediction
is that he wants to solidify his particle as the family head.
To know how to do something you can’t write or don’t know how to write.
Perhaps he was thinking about the value of the family
sword if the head of the household were to use it rather than someone else .
‘For such a thing to draw a line through his own bloodline.’
As for me, I only wrote it as a teaching, but it was definitely close to a transaction.
Above all, it didn’t matter because it was something I could convey to Namgoongbia. And the more I watched this part
, the more I wanted to find
out why Namgoong Bia made that choice .
It wasn’t because he was the swordsman, but when he saw Namgoong Biah now, he
wasn’t the kind of person who would act like that.
“I have two lines to tell you.”
didn’t pick up the sword.
Noya said he couldn’t do it for a while after the last Bing. They say it’s dangerous
Even so, I couldn’t show Namgoong-jin the moves by holding up a sword that I couldn’t even become
.
Noya said it would be enough just to say the word.
[Namgung’s black stem is cut off.]
‘Stem.’
[Yes, the stem connecting the ceremony and the ceremony is also very finely cut, so I
can’t properly grasp it.]
‘Are you saying that you can connect such things with only words?’
[I don’t know, but I’m just conveying what this guy said.]
‘No, what kind of irresponsible words…?’
[Thousand and One Swords of Thunder are filled with his enlightenment. If
Namgung’s child
doesn’t realize anything after hearing this, then that’s the end.
]
[You have to run and hide behind your father’s back.]
‘…Damn it.’
At this age, tell your father to run away with something like that?
No … Actually, this life is still young, but I have a conscience.
[Didn’t you have a conscience in the first place? Now, where is the face to be saved?]
‘…’
When I took a breath, Namgung-jin had already opened his ears with sparkling eyes.
It is very burdensome to see a man of my father’s age sending such bright eyes.
All I do is convey Shinnoya’s words in my ears with my mouth
.
“It is like the black waves of Namgung. I live my whole life with lightning, but if
you think about it, it’s more like a wave.”
Enlightenment is inherently abstract. It would be even more
so for a swordsman who aims to unite the sword with the body
. It is
an area that not only after the magic sword in the past, but also excellent swordsmen including Wi Seol-ah
.
There is also an area called Mutuga with similar words, but it has a different feel.
As I said before, I just pushed Noya’s mouth and spit out the words.
Sometimes it’s just to reach out your hand and follow the action instructions that you don’t know why.
“…Since it deals with brain ki, we should focus on quick and quick swords, but…” However, if it’s not completely abstract
, there is fragmentary information about how to deal with
problems with the wrist in Namgung’s sword path .
Remarks related to the movement are personally added by Shin Noya.
the problem is.
‘It seems to be helpful.’
If you don’t know the waves, the lightning, the trees, or the forest, it’s pointless to listen
.
I don’t know the experience and meaning he must have gained from wielding the sword.
I don’t know how that abstract and ambiguous talk will help him.
The explanation didn’t end, but Namgung-jin’s gaze changed.
He slowly closes his eyes.
did i get something
That said, I didn’t feel anything that could be called enlightenment.
[It doesn’t look like half-penny Emoji Lee.]
‘I don’t know if I can do it like this.’
[I didn’t tell you everything considering your position. Even a male palace child
won’t be able to get many things.]
Because I understood Noya’s desire to pass on the sword of a close friend, I
too did not strongly deny it and passed on.
The silence was brief.
Namgung-jin opened his closed eyes. Swing your sword straight away.
Hiss! shhh!
The sword that followed didn’t seem to have changed much from before. Something had changed
just fine .
[Looks like you succeeded in putting your feet on it.]
Noya added, but I didn’t notice a big difference.
But it was clear that something had changed. This part is important.
Namgung-jin, who had been wielding only a sword for about half an hour, stopped and whispered quietly.
“…Thank you.”
The soldier who must have touched the hwagyeong was sweating profusely. It is only between half angles
.
“Did you get something?”
“Basically… just a little bit,”
Namgung-jin continued,
saying that it would take a very long time to feel this.
“I don’t know if I should throw away everything I’m used to…”
It meant that I had to change the movements I’d been accustomed to for tens of months. Still , does he really want to train this ?
There would not be enough time
for that to solidify his position as head of household .
[Can’t you see? I’m already fascinated.]
At Noya’s words, Namgoongjin’s eyes were filled with heat.
[It’s small, but it’s definitely different. If you know the difference, you will know for yourself how different it will be in the end,
so it’s already too late to back down.
]
[…That’s non-discrimination,
you rotten bastard .]
My realm has not changed, and my qi has not fluctuated.
I simply discovered a slight difference in how to swing the sword
.
He said it would take at least a few years before he could use it.
If so, could this be poison? It seemed to me that it was.
In the meantime, I reconfirmed the traces of demonic energy left on Namgung-jin’s body.
I don’t know if I’ll change my mind just because I got something to gain.
“Please do not forget your promise.”
..
..
..
……
Namgung-jin, whose heat has not cooled down, nods slightly.
It was full of signs of wanting to swing the sword even more.
After confirming the ban one more time, I closed the door and left. It wasn’t something that would end just by telling me a little bit about this
, and it was meant
to be face-to-face a few more times .
Will this process help Namgoongbia’s life?
Even if it doesn’t help a lot, wouldn’t it make a little difference.
Such futile expectations suddenly passed by.
“By the way… Noya.” [
Why do you
do that?
It is not a story that is directly woven into the action, but abstract parts.
I’ve heard that part before.
“…Are the words left by Thunder Sword true?”
[Yes, the story the unlucky guy left behind is correct. I went around talking like
crazy, saying my sword was good .]
I thought it was an exaggeration, but I thought it was an exaggeration
.
The important thing was whether those remarks were indeed the words left by Thunder Sword.
[But why do you ask?]
“No. I just asked.”
The reason I asked was not different.
It seems that the demon swordswoman in the previous life also said the same thing. Even without making a mistake,
they said the same thing.
When was it? It was probably around the time I was asking about the new sword union.
At that time, the Demon Swordsman used to say that he had learned that way.
-He said…
-…You can’t understand what he’s saying.
I couldn’t understand even one of these things, so I asked back.
Namgung’s sword that Shin Noya showed was clearly similar to the one wielded by the demonic sword Hu
.
However, Namgung’s current sword is not like that.
Namgung’s current best master, Cheonjon, doesn’t know, but Namgungjin didn’t know how to use that sword
.
Not to mention, they don’t seem to know the problem with Namgung’s sword.
If so, who did the Demon Sword Master learn the sword from?
If not Namgoong Jin now, to whom? I just
thought that
the talent of the Demon Swordsman was so high that I could overcome the chronic problem alone and redefine the sword path .
Looking at it now, I felt a sense of alienation.
Could this also be a coincidence?
For some reason, I just thought it might not be me.
The place he headed straight to was the annex where Namgung Biah was staying.
Since most of the soldiers of the Namgung family were bedridden, it
was half of the soldiers of the Gu family who were guarding the annex.
Paradoxically, that is.
I went to the entrance of the annex and tried to send a message to the attendant waiting in front of me.
I opened the door from the other side and Bia Namgung jumped out.
“ I’m here…?”
“How did you know?”
Were you looking out the window?
For that matter, he must have been asleep at least, but his expression looked slightly more fierce than usual
.
“Were you sleeping?”
“No…”
I didn’t come for a purpose,
I came because I was worried about how bad I looked yesterday.
” rice is.
99
“…I didn’t eat.”
“Then eat later.”
The ornament I gave her was still serving as a tie for Namgung Biah’s hair
.
Are you doing it normally?
Thinking like that, I couldn’t help but feel a little proud that didn’t fit the subject
.
“The body.
99
“…it’s okay…”
“Then can I touch your forehead?”
Remembering the last time I avoided it, I asked first this time.
[To ask such a stupid question…]
‘No, no…’
[What, why.]
‘No.’
[This…this…!]
I didn’t even say anything, but Shin Noya got angry.
I didn’t really say anything, but that’s all.
Asking for permission, Bia Namgung hesitates and takes a step back.
do you dislike
“If you don’t like it, I won’t ask anymore
. ”
is this so hard? No matter what, he gave permission, so he strode over and
put
his hand on Namgung Biah’s forehead .
“…you’re not feeling well, right?”
The forehead was hot.
The forehead, which seemed to be warm just by touching it, gradually grew warmer.
At this level, there was something really wrong. To think that a first-class soldier suddenly
became so hot.
I’m going to drag you right away and take you to God.
Something touches the hand that was on Bia Namgoong’s forehead.
It was none other than Namgung Biah’s hand.
“It’s okay… now it’s really okay…”
Saying that, he took my hand and put it down.
Naturally, I and Via Namgung became able to hold hands and walk.
I didn’t ask what he was doing. To say that, because the white face of Namgoong Bi-ah
had turned red.
‘I didn’t feel ashamed of things like this until recently.’
Where did I really eat something wrong? Namgoongbia says while cooling her face in the wind
.
“I want to go eat…”
“Where is your room?”
“Oh, no, in my room…”
Namgoongbia’s voice was much louder than usual, as if she was really taken aback.
What is it that loses infiltrates my room casually and pushes me away at times like this?
I wondered if there was something hidden in the room, so I tried to enter it out of curiosity, but somehow
I had a feeling that Namgoong Bi-ah would be really angry if I did that.
Namgoongbia is angry…?
‘I’m curious about that too.’
It was like I had never seen it in my previous life.
Perhaps she noticed my inner thoughts, Namgung Bi hurriedly dragged me along.
I walked as if half-accompanied, holding my hand.
In the meantime, I had no intention of shaking off the hand I was holding.
Noya seemed to be swearing for a moment, but he didn’t listen.
I was caught obediently and walked on the road.
I found out about it later through an attendant.
I heard that some of the bedding that was supposed to be in my room was missing.
The attendant was crying because it seemed to cost a little bit, but after a while, the servant
went to work as if nothing had happened.
Rather, it seemed that something pleasant had happened, even the flowers of laughter were blooming.
It didn’t matter if I lost it because it was old and used for a long time.
where did that go
