Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 17

EP.17 If necessary (2)

If necessary (2)

I went out to the street with Mu-yeon with the letter in my pocket.

I walked the same distance as the last time, but it wasn’t to the point where I was out of breath like the last time.

After some training, I felt that I was getting better little by little.

‘It’s strange to say that you’ll die for betting that.’

Pick smiled once and entered the alleyway.

After walking a little further, I see the shabby building I saw the other day. This is the Haomen Shanxi branch I went to last time.

When I arrived, if there was anything different from the last time, it was that the monks who had acted before greeted me wearing the same school uniforms that the branch manager was wearing.

As I approached the building, someone greeted me.

“Welcome, old Confucius.”

“what? I wore it neatly this time.”

“I’m sorry the other day.”

He was the man who used to curse at me. With her scattered hair tied back and wearing neat clothes, she looked like a different person.

“It doesn’t matter, but where can I go? Can we go underground like last time?”

“You don’t have to. Confucius.”

Following the voice, I looked up and saw the branch manager, Do Unchu, slowly descending the stairs.

“It’s different from last time. This time it appears right away.”

“How dare you do that to your precious customer. You should show up right away.”

“So you’re saying you weren’t a customer before?”

Helpunchu laughed at the meaningless pod. I also said no more.

I could say more if I had to, but from my point of view, I wanted to finish my schedule quickly and go back, so getting to the main point was the priority.

I went upstairs following help. Unlike the first floor, which was dusty in a shabby building, the second floor was quite tidy.

As soon as I sat down, Hao Mundo brought me tea, but Muyeon stopped me.

It meant I couldn’t trust them.

When Mundo of Muyeon’s actions made a displeased expression for a moment, Unchu Do pointed out.

“Take care of your facial expression and do it right. It’s in front of an important customer.”

it’s a soft voice

“…sorry. Branch manager.”

“Please give the apology to Confucius, not me.”

“sorry. Confucius.”

I roughly waved my hand to indicate that it was okay and fixed my gaze on Helpunchu.

‘It’s annoying…’

Anyway, what they were doing right now was useless acting.

He must have known that Muyeon would do something like this.

Dowoonchu stopped right away and pointed out the mistake to Mundo.

He knew that correcting Mundo’s mistakes was also an act anyway.

Whether he was trying to show me that he was polite or because he wanted to preempt the conversation, it was annoying and annoying to me.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to show me, but I’m wasting my precious time, so let’s just get to the point, branch manager?”

Useless plays are rejected.

Helpunchu stopped at the words mixed with irritation. It was hard to read his expression because he couldn’t see well, but the words would have been conveyed at this level.

The assistant immediately let out a sigh.

“…I don’t know where to start revising the information we have about Confucius.”

“I said it last time, but the information you have is correct, so you don’t have to change it.”

After taking a quiet sip of the tea in front of Dowoonchu, he finally got to the point.

“If we solve the request Confucius said, how far will you let us know?”

“How far? Aren’t you going to tell me everything?”

“We are buyers and sellers of information. We know better than anyone else the value of the information Confucius has.”

The whereabouts of the person who could not be found even if Haomun’s important personnel searched for it.

Now it’s a situation where you can monopolize such information.

Naturally, I had no intention of spitting out this information all at once.

The recapture of Hao Munju is a story several years later.

Of course, Hao Wenju will die during the operation, but if we look at the information, it means that Hao Wenju will be alive for at least a few years.

Of course, you wouldn’t know who helped, so it must be a very urgent situation.

‘I don’t know what Dounchu has to do with Hao Wenju, but according to past information, if Dounchu becomes the next Hao Munju, it would be a deep relationship.’

Otherwise, there would have been no need to lead the recapture operation.

However, even in such a situation, Dounchu is not showing me an urgent or impatient appearance.

I don’t know if it’s being thoroughly hidden or if it’s just determined to be necessary as information.

To be precise, I didn’t need to know.

It didn’t matter what Do Yun-chu had to do with Hao Wen-ju or what Do Yun-chu was thinking.

If it’s an important relationship.

had to use that.

‘If necessary…’

“Chief, do you believe me in the first place?”

You wouldn’t believe it if a kid like me, who couldn’t even get a contract, showed up like this all of a sudden.

Helper laughed at my question.

“Because such doubts can only be done in a blind spot.”

This is what I said last time.

“…If so, don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything about information.”

“All right.”

To my answer, Dounchu did not add further words. It only adds necessary additional explanations.

“The request period is about one month. We can finish sooner if we can, but probably not later than this.”

“…one month.”

It will probably be summer by then. Looking back, it wasn’t a very long wait.

As I was organizing my thoughts, Unchu suddenly said.

“…Can I ask you something?”

“If I can answer.”

“As for Moonlord…”

Dounchu interrupted. Perhaps he was trying to ask about the life and death of Munju.

you will know for yourself It may have been important to Dounchu, but it was obviously unnecessary now.

I told helpunchu.

“You know that was not helpful to the branch manager right now, right?”

It is absolutely speculative that I think Do Yunqiu and Hao Wenju have a close relationship. In this situation, Dounchu’s words were words that gave me confidence.

Of course, considering that it was Hao Mun, even that might be acting.

Helper doesn’t say anything.

Was it a mistake out of haste or a calculated one?

Since he was wearing a bast face, there was no way to tell from his expression.

I don’t think he’s the kind of person that would be revealed by his facial expression in the first place.

After a brief moment of worry, I spoke to Dounchu.

“Yejeok Mountains.”

At my words, Dounchu’s eyes widen slightly.

The name of the huge mountain range located in the south is not exactly where Hao Munju is located, but it is one of the branches of the Dark Night Palace.

‘I don’t know exactly where the mountain range is.’

The reason why I chose this place is because this branch has information that helpers need.

“This is a deposit. I think this will be enough.”

Believe it or not, it didn’t matter.

“If you’re going to check it out, you’d better take the Jinbeopga.”

There was no way the Dark Night Palace hadn’t taken any countermeasures.

The fact that the Murim Meng had a hard time finding the base of the Black Night Palace was all due to the influence of Jinbeop.

First of all, this is the end of the conversation.

I left helpunchu behind and got up to go back to Sega.

‘One month.’

It was a bit of a long wait.

******************

I came out to the street again and on my way to Sega, I was buying medicines out of habit. Of course, it was to be given to Wiseol-ah.

Not only me, but all the workers in the shelter gave Wiseol-ah snacks, so unlike the first meeting, Wiseol-ah seemed to have gained a little weight.

As I walked, the wind blew.

“It’s still spring, so it’s cool…. From next month, it’s summer again, so I’m going to die again.”

It was an innocent word.

In a month, it’s already early summer. In the next month, as Moo-yeon said, summer would already come.

‘It’s summer

.

What’s so embarrassing?

pop.

I stopped walking in three directions. It was because of the vague memories that seemed foggy.

In the summer of this time, there was one big incident.

“..Why does this come to mind now?”

It was around now that the remarks of Geumcheonyeonga, who was a samurai and operated the highest rank in the past, were discovered.

The first discoverer of the remark was Sacheondangmun, but the one who eventually obtained the remark was none other than Sacheon’s Gyecheonmun.

Both Dangga and Gyecheonmun were in Sacheon, so they were not friendly with each other.

Later, as the Demonic Cult appeared, Gyecheonmun Gate entered the Demonic Cult.

‘Geum Natural Family’s remarks are also in Sichuan.’

….I ate too much.

Thinking of the location and timing, he clicked his tongue briefly.

The discovery of Vigo was in the late summer, and it would eventually fall into the hands of Gyecheonmun, so I wanted to take it if I could. The area was a problem.

‘There is no way to go to Sacheon right now.’

As for the deadline set by Hao-Mun, one month is enough time, so I wanted to go within that time if there was a way.

There was no excuse to go all the way to Sacheon.

Should I go on a trip?

‘Can Sega allow it?’

Suddenly, there was a treasure hidden in Sacheon, so I had to go and get it, but there was no way that would work.

Although there may not have been huge gold and silver treasures in the remarks of Geum Natural Song, it was said that there were many valuable decrees that could not be easily seen.

It is said that this virtue was the reason why Gyecheon Munju reached the state of Hwagyeong before becoming a demon.

‘I want to stop Gyecheonmun from taking it at least.’

Even if I didn’t have it, I didn’t want to hand it over to those who would become demons.

Of course, it’s better if I have it.

But if that wasn’t possible, I had to find another way.

“Shall we spread the information in the open?”

There are few people who believe that this is said, but I did not know if it was possible to twist the flow by advancing the timing. It is doubtful that rumors will spread even if it is said that it will be opened right away.

In fact, the reason why I hesitated even though there were many easy ways was simply greed.

Thought to live a peaceful life with the opportunity of returning, he tries to reach out his hand when he hears that there is a treasure chest right in front of him.

“A madman is like this again. You should know how to give up if you know it won’t work.”

Even after being physically beaten like that in my previous life and learning, my expectations are still incredibly high.

So, why do I suddenly think of it and it hurts people’s stomachs

… I looked around my head, wondering if I should buy something to eat.

I saw a dumpling restaurant steaming in the distance, and I immediately moved my feet. It was because the dumplings I ate the other day were delicious and remained in my memory.

“Do you want to buy dumplings, too?”

“The dumplings I ate the other day were delicious.”

“But you said you spent all the money you brought with you earlier on the medicine…?”

“Give me.”

“yes?”

“Give me.”

“Yes…”

I’m sorry.

Don’t make such a gloomy face. do you go and give it?

‘Coming to think of it, it seems that I didn’t give you the one I bought last time…’

Looking at Mu-yeon, who took out a yeopjeon from her sad arms, she turned her head.

I felt a little bit of remorse.

‘I really have to give it this time.’

I really really thought about giving it this time.

Seriously…

I went back to Sega after buying dumplings. The sun was already setting when we arrived.

When I entered the entrance of the residence, Wi Seol-ah jumped up to get my coat, so I handed over the medicine along with the clothes.

As soon as he saw the medicine, he smiled broadly and ran to the other attendants.

‘It’s a pity, but it wasn’t mine in the first place.’

There was nothing more foolish than regretting something that never existed.

What if there is no way

…but.

“It is called Gujeol-yeop.

I didn’t know that this method would come to me directly.
