Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 159
侁 Episode 159 > What I wanted to show you. (2)
What I wanted to show you. (2)
The bracket for the semi-finals was posted, and I did not show any reaction.
Because it wasn’t much different from what I expected.
In the first place, if you look at the first match, the thunder dragon should have been here.
If it was their calculations, it must have been.
Because there was probably no calculation that I would come up here.
‘.. Namgoongbia is unexpected.’
It was surprising even to me that Jang Seon-yeon and Namgung-bia were teamed up.
Naturally, I thought that I and Namgoongbi would be together, and Jang Seon-yeon and Mo Yong-hee would be together
.
‘That would be a better story for him.’
Isn’t this part the part where the blind is playing tricks?
Or do you have an idea?
There was no more faith in Meng than in Claws, so it
was only gloomy to think about it more deeply.
“How are you watching?”
Dang So-yeol asks me
how are you looking
“I’m just watching.”
« …- ”
Dang So-yeol looked at me as if he didn’t like my answer.
He seemed to be hoping for a different answer, but unfortunately, he had nothing to say
.
It wasn’t even a matter of going all out and arguing why the match was like this.
Because I didn’t have the guts to take issue with it.
I moved my gaze to the back.
The direction where Namgoongbi is.
Namgung Biah, who was in the same room, was also watching the match.
‘He doesn’t seem to have any thoughts.’
| |.
…
_
It seemed like I was just watching.
Seeing that he had a fierce expression as usual, it seemed that he was trying to do that.
‘If it were different, it would have been even more strange.’
How could Bia Namgung think differently knowing what she knew about Seonyeon Jang?
Maybe it was because I kept looking at it, but Namgoongbia’s gaze turned this way.
Namgoongbya looked at her face and tilted her head.
It’s something I don’t understand.
Then, he approaches me with his characteristic light gait.
As I approached the distance that I could reach with just an outstretched hand, Namgoongbi asked me.
“why. okay?”
It’s a sudden word.
Why?
“what?
99
“Expression…”
Expression?
I touched my face with my hands at Namgoongbia’s words.
What kind of weird expression were you making?
It didn’t seem like he was making any weird faces.
Rather, I think it was closer to expressionless.
It didn’t seem so to Namgoongbia.
“Why are you worried about me?”
I was momentarily taken aback by her words.
What does this mean?
“When did I say I was worried?”
“Now… you’re doing it…”
Namgoong Bi-ah’s beautiful hand brushes my eyes.
“Are you… worried about me?”
I didn’t respond to what he said while looking me in the eye.
Unfortunately, the answer is not forthcoming.
The hardened tongue and tightly closed
mouth did not think to move.
‘Maybe I was worried.’
This is something I didn’t even know about myself.
If so, what part did Namgung Biah notice?
In the silence between the two of them, Namgoong Biah added a word.
“Do you think I will lose…?”
It’s a cool question.
He forcibly moved his tightly closed lips.
” no.”
Because of that, the answer was delayed.
Perhaps because of this, it seemed that Namgoongbia had already heard a different answer.
To be honest, I don’t think that Namgoongbi will lose.
He will also be right, and the late index who can beat Namgoongbi right now is Goo Heebi. Because there was none other than that crazy sister
.
Even though I knew that, the delay in replying was because I felt uncomfortable for some reason
.
It’s a feeling of awkwardness for no reason.
It makes you feel stuffy and makes you feel down all the time.
Namgoongbi, perhaps aware of my feelings, suddenly said,
” are you okay.”
It was a quiet voice.
It’s so small that only I can hear it.
‘What’s okay?’
I swallowed these words in my heart.
Because it seemed like something I shouldn’t have said now.
“I’m fine.”
strange
A feeling as if they were not talking to me.
I just stared at Namgoong Bia’s eyes.
After looking into it for a while, I could understand a little bit.
‘Am I nervous?’
Via Namgoong was nervous.
It was hard to notice because he was far from that kind of thing.
I asked looking at her.
“are you okay?”
No answer came.
I didn’t know what the tension was for.
No matter how you look at it, it didn’t seem like he was nervous because of the dance with Jang Seon-yeon.
“hand.”
At Namgoongbia’s short words, I carefully held her hand.
It was like asking to hold on to it.
Knowing if this was the correct answer, I held her hand and closed my eyes.
“Are you nervous?”
I ask, but Namgoongbia just shakes her head slightly.
Namgoong Biah, who was still as if she was concentrating, immediately let go of her hand and
took a step back.
“are you okay.”
That was the third time already.
At this point, I am concerned.
What’s going on?
No matter how you look at it, I asked with a slight smile at the strange behavior.
“If you feel unwell, would you like to forfeit?”
At the casual question, Via Namgung shook her head resolutely.
“no.”
He was so resolute that his characteristic way of speaking, which obscured his backbiting, had disappeared.
Could it be that you can actually control that?
While I’m thinking about it alone, with trivial thoughts, Via Namgung keeps talking behind her back
.
“I don’t give up…”
“I thought so. I just did it.”
Abstaining from the non-duty system itself is something that later exponents of this age
do not want to do even if they die.
If you go and lose, you must not give up.
Pride at this age was originally like that.
‘I don’t think Namgung Bi-ah doesn’t think about that.’
Sometimes I wanted to see what she was thinking and living.
Right now.
What the hell are you thinking?
What are you thinking that makes you look like that?
‘It looks like it’s going to a battlefield somewhere.’
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but it seemed that way to my eyes.
Namgoongbia’s lips lingered as she let go of her hand and looked at me.
Looks like there’s something more to say.
It was frustrating to keep doing that, but I didn’t rush.
“..I’m fine.”
Same word as before.
And then it was a little different.
It must be because of the words left behind.
“So trust me and watch over me…”
These words were spoken out of nowhere without anything back and forth. It’s a word
that doesn’t even explain what it means or what it means
.
In any case, there were no words around the horse. Do you have to figure it out yourself this time
?
“When did I say I didn’t trust you?”
I didn’t seem to believe it, but I didn’t disbelieve it anyway.
I don’t know what kind of mindset Namgoongbi had.
I didn’t think that this dance would have any meaning for her.
Isn’t it?
Let’s just think of the current Namgoongbi Ah. Because he was not a person
who acted or lived with great meaning .
“…Believable…”
That’s why.
“I’ll show.”
I didn’t know how Namgoongbi felt when she said that to me.
Right before the semi-finals started, the empty stage where the quarter-finals were held
was filled with more people than that day.
This is because there were more people who came to see Sagang.
Maybe when the final day comes, there will be a lot more spectators than now.
“Who do you think will win?”
This is usually the conversation between the audience before the start of the dance.
“Hmm… that’s a very difficult question.”
This is the point at which the thunder dragon and poison stick were eliminated.
It was difficult to predict easily as the two people who were mentioned as candidates for the championship were eliminated.
“Still, won’t Seolbong win?”
It’s an undesirable reaction.
It was the time when Seolbong of the Moyong family had not yet been eliminated, but for some reason, there
were rather few people who thought that she would win.
“Are Mo Yongse, Gu Family, Namgung, and Jangga the rest?”
“This time, only the blood relatives of the High Family remain. It was expected, but
I can’t help but feel bitter.”
“Ah, Sangju Cheon. Didn’t you say that your son also participated this time?”
In response to the man’s question, the person named Cheon Sang-ju coughed repeatedly.
The answer came from elsewhere.
“Ahhh, a noble man with no sense! Didn’t you get eliminated in the first round! Don’t bring it up
, but shame on you, Sangju Cheon…”
“That out loud… You’re the worse one.”
“It wasn’t going to last long anyway, so the Maeng poured so much support into it that they
allowed me to participate.”
“Are you going to keep poking where it hurts? I’m confident I’ll actually stab you.”
“You guys, stop fighting and talk about who you think will win.”
“Whatever you ask, the son of Nakgum will win anyway.”
“Yes? Isn’t it Seolbong?”
“Anyway, this person is slow to hear rumors. A merchant is said to be the one.
Rumors have already spread about the son of a merchant.”
“rumor?
99
“Yes, it is said that a ridiculous divinity has appeared.”
Rumors tend to start in unknown places.
It was none other than the merchants who spread it.
Merchant’s ears are always open.
It is natural to know the flow of the world.
It will be necessary to make money.
That’s why they donate a lot of money not only for the alliance but also for the opening.
A sign of sincerity to bring good news faster than others. Even now, other
people are listening to the story
with interest when the man talks excitedly about whether he got information from the open .
Chun Moon-bi runs the Cheoneul Arcade, a medium-sized shopping mall in Hanam.
Hearing those words, Cheon Sang-joo couldn’t help but put on a puzzled expression.
Unlike the merchants who are talking now, Cheon Sang-ju
was the person who kept his sword from daytime yesterday.
Unlike him, the current ones must have come to see the Four Seasons.
‘So they don’t know.’
Sangju Cheon did not listen to the man very much.
As they said, the son of Nak-gum was an excellent person.
A migongjae with a bright appearance resembling a leader.
The skills are also excellent.
In the Palgang match yesterday, the boy from Jangga overwhelms the opponent and pulls out a victory.
It is indeed the son of the lord! The level I wanted was right.
For some reason, Cheon Sang-ju was thinking of a different person than him.
‘They said they were blood relatives of the Gu family.’
A warrior with reddish black hair and a fierce impression.
I mean the boy who won the victory by defeating the thunder dragon.
The memories were too strong to forget.
The heat of the chemistry that heated up not only the rain stage but also the audience.
The scene where the brain dragon couldn’t even use its strength and vomited blood.
The fact that Namgung’s Noi-ryong, who was no one else, was defeated after being beaten to death.
Even after seeing that, how can you think that the son of the fallen sword will win?
‘Why didn’t it spread widely about that part? That’s a little questionable.’
Cheon Sang-ju knew that it was spreading little by little only after a day had passed
.
Normally, as soon as it was over, I would have informed the opening quickly.
Opening is nothing else, and there is no way the information will be late.
This could not be a subtle thing in the eyes of Sangju Cheon.
“Then do you think the blood of the non-dance artist will win this time?”
Others also
nodded at the words of the man who had been holding the flow of the story to the fullest.
“I thought the non-musangdae this time was Namgungga.”
“hmm? If it was Namgoongga, wouldn’t they say they were eliminated yesterday?”
“They said there was one more, the sister of the Thunder Dragon.”
“There was a daughter of the Namgung family? It’s the first time I’ve heard such a word… How did I not know
?”
“They say he’s even strong, and he won the eight-fight match with a single blow.”
It was also the secret weapon Cheon Sang-ju saw.
There were no lies. Because it was actually won in one blow.
‘.. It seems that the opponent was a bit strange.’
Even to a person who does not know much about martial arts, the martial arts at that time
were somewhat empty.
Because I stepped on my steps strangely and was defeated as it was.
‘I hope I didn’t miss it.’
It is unlikely that an unmanned person would have done that while stepping on foot.
It must have been just a bit of an odd method.
‘hmm…? Now that I think about it, I think that friend was also Mr. Goo.’
I must have heard it wrong, but it must have been the same surname as the boy who defeated the thunder dragon.
“Anyway, no matter how much a male goong goes, the victory in this match is…”
The man who had been passionately talking about Jang-ga’s son from earlier suddenly
stops talking.
Cheon Sang-ju, who was lost in thought, had to feel strange.
If it was only the man, he wouldn’t have paid much attention, but it was because everyone around him had become quiet
.
“
What
…
_
Someone was going up on the wide empty stage.
Her hair fluttering in the shallow wind is as beautiful as expensive silk.
Not only her hair, but her fair skin and eyes that look like they
were made with precious stones.
“Haa….”
….
It is an appearance that leaves only exclamations for those who watch it.
“You are crazy. Crazy…”
How can a person be so beautiful.
The woman’s face was at a level that made the observer even have a desire that they didn’t have
.
‘ Why?’
At the time when everyone was ecstatic just by looking at the woman, Cheon Sang-ju
had to feel something strange.
‘Why is it different from yesterday?’
Obviously, I didn’t feel that way when I watched the dance yesterday.
Of course, I thought it was beautiful, but it was not a memorable feeling
.
If so, what the hell is that woman?
They look the same, but the presence they radiate is different.
The strong mental strength that he had endured while living as a merchant facing countless people
was on the verge of being shaken.
” So beautiful.”
“There was a treasure living in Namgung… If my daughter looked like that, I
would have kept it hidden.”
Squeak. Bia Namgoong, a woman on the stage
, tidied up
her long hair behind her neck, feeling all kinds of stares .
As her hair lifted and her neckline was revealed, the moaning around her grew louder, but Namgoongbia
didn’t care.
I just calmly took out the ornament from my bosom and fixed my hair.
The crescent moon-shaped headdress is a gift he gave to himself.
Even though there were so many people, I didn’t feel the stench stinging my nose.
It meant that he was watching from somewhere in this place.
That alone was enough for Namgoongbia to find peace.
By the time you finish cleaning up, an opponent will step up on the other side.
‘…’
Seon-Yeon Jang… Did you say that?
I don’t know why, but he was the boy that Gu Yangchen was interested in.
Gu Yangchun seemed to be unwilling to show off, but Namgoongbia could see
.
Jang Seon-yeon climbs onto the stage with neat steps and approaches Namgungbi.
Via Namgoong didn’t avoid it.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Jang Seon-yeon from Taeryeong Jangga.”
A polite greeting. Namgoongbia pondered for a moment before saying hello herself
.
“Namgoongbia.”
Surprisingly, Jang Seon-yeon was a person who did not smell much.
It’s ambiguous to say that it doesn’t happen at all.
It doesn’t feel bothersome. Surprisingly
, it was the most comfortable level that
Namgoongbi had ever felt, except for Guyangcheon, where there was no smell .
but.
‘I don’t want to get close.’
Even if you don’t feel the stench, an unknown bloating rises up.
I don’t know why, but Namgoongbia felt uncomfortable with Jang Seonyeon.
“i look forward to. I didn’t know that Confucius Leilong would have such a beautiful sister
.”
The gentle smile made Namgoong Bia feel good-looking, too
.
Now that I’ve come, I like his rough eyes better than that smile.
I didn’t really like it at first, but that’s all.
Jang Seon-yeon also had many thoughts while looking at Namgung-bia.
‘Namgoong Sera.’
Seeing Namgung Biah, Jang Seon-yeon had one impression.
‘It’s beautiful, badly.’
It was a beauty that is difficult to describe.
In order not to be tempted by this, it is a level where you have to spend a little to bet.
Apart from that, I don’t know your skills.
‘How much will it be?’
Dokbong and Thunder Dragon, whom they thought would be opponents, were defeated, so
there wouldn’t be anyone who would pose a great threat.
Except for one person.
‘Nine Yangcheon.’
Jang Seon-yeon had to work hard not to wrinkle her expression at the name that came to her mind.
He’s a guy who keeps bothering me from where he came from.
That fishy atmosphere prayer.
A subtle sense of resentment.
Even the way he looked at himself was annoying.
-Do you think this will be long? that monster?
The words Paeng Woo-jin said bothered his ears from that day on.
Do you think this will be the road? It was funny.
Of course you have to win.
Because he and he were completely different.
It was a story that there was no way to lose to someone who couldn’t have anything.
Even if he climbed over the wall and reached the climax, it
would be meaningless if he had no ‘energy’.
The brain dragon couldn’t use it properly, and it didn’t permeate into the body, so it
was defeated incompetently.
‘I am different.’
The arrogance of the guy who must have heated up.
You will meet yourself and sit down.
I was thinking of making it that way.
And in the end, it will be you who gets the seat.
‘Even if I can’t become a Shinryong.’
Since I’m talking with Shaolin, I won’t be able to get the position of Shinryong.
Everything else was enough for now.
I will rise to the top of all people who start and finish this .
He was a man worth it.
Jang Seon-yeon looked at the woman in front of her.
She is one of the most beautiful women she has ever met.
As far as I know, there was a story that he was the fiancé of Yangcheon Gu.
At those words, Jang Seon-yeon laughed inwardly.
‘It doesn’t fit the subject.’
It seems that there are women’s clothes that don’t fit my subject.
It was to the point that I was coveted just for my appearance.
However, compared to the sharp eyes, the expression was something of a blind person.
I feel like Namgoong-sung’s character is right. The atmosphere is endlessly noble, but
should I say that
something is missing somewhere ?
“The Battle of the Four Rivers.”
At the referee’s words, Jang Seon-yeon calmly raised her sword.
I had to get out of my mind and focus.
‘I don’t want to use much power, so I’d better finish it quickly.’
From Jang Seon-yeon’s point of view, Namgoongbia was full of gaps.
Not even aiming at the tip of the sword made it look like he had given up.
‘What am I trying to do?’
If it is trying to urge vigilance by showing a gap, it is a failed strategy in the past.
he is not careless
Jang Seon-yeon immediately raised her five senses and focused on Namgoongbia.
“The son of Namgung Consort of the Namgung family. Jang Seon-yeon from Taeryeong Jangga.”
The beginning is near, but Namgoongbia is still there.
After lowering his sword, he just watched Jang Seon-yeon with a fierce expression.
‘Or, did he really give up?’
By the time you start thinking like that.
“start!”
I wanted to finish quickly, so there was no time to hesitate.
Along with the referee’s cry, Jang Seon-yeon raised the bet and moved.
“..!”
no i was trying to move
…thing.
Contrary to her heart, Jang Seon-yeon could not move.
Jang Seon-yeon’s sword, full of bets, was trembling.
The quiet breathing was disturbed at once.
The legs, which were full of strength, remained in place as if nothing had happened.
“Whoa… whoa.”
He controls his fluctuating bets and evens out his breathing, but the trembling sword tip does not calm down
.
Jang Seon-yeon looked at Namgung Bi-ah in amazement.
cuddle.
It makes a rough sound with its teeth in its tightly closed mouth.
It has to be.
Because there was nothing I could do to withstand the rushing energy.
The cold sweat flows naturally and the goose bumps on the back are thrilling.
Terrible pressure, unable to move even one step.
‘That place…’
The place Jang Seon-yeon is looking at.
Namgoongbia was standing in the same posture as before with her sword down.
The absurd pressure she felt made Jang Seon-yeon’s body stiff
.
How the hell is this English?
“…not.”
Startle.
Jang Seon-yeon’s eyes widen at the voice that sounds like a whisper.
The body is very tense in unexpected situations.
What are you trying to say?
Seeing Jang Seon-yeon like that, Namgoongbia continued talking.
“Wouldn’t…?”
These were the words that Yangchun Gu said to his opponent during the dance.
And it was something that Namgung Bia really wanted to do.
