Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 22

EP.22 Why are you here again…? (2)

Why are you here again…? (2)

“Come take a break. Then you die.”

This is what Mu-yeon heard from Dae-joo before entering the escort for the first time.

Muyeon swung his sword day and night to forget his memory. Ironically, though, the memory was there.

Martial arts that do not put their heart into the martial arts are just one movement.

The sword wielded by Muyeon was also like that.

There is nothing contained in the sword.

just wield it That’s why even if he swung a hundred times a thousand times, Muyeon’s inaction was there like a memory.

Mu-yeon was clearly a genius in terms of talent, except for Gu Seon-yeop, the grandson of Gi-gi Mun-ju, who was born by Gu Seon-moon.

Many people said that if the talent is poor, the youngest peak martial artist in the history of Gu Seon-moon will be born.

Now that I think about it, it was all insignificant.

Was he so excited about being called a first-class soldier?

Muyeon still doesn’t understand himself.

What did he have that brought him to this point?

what is left of me

I still remember the swordsmen who screamed for help.

What did I raise the sword for? The sword is the sword that protects.

I couldn’t keep

So what am I?

I couldn’t tell.

After living like a half-dead man like that, Dae-joo fell in love.

“It’s a situation where we can’t just let an unmanned person like you rest right now. Go get some rest.”

The place where he belongs like that is none other than the escort. It is said that it is an honorable place to protect the blood relatives of the Gu family, but Muyeon did not see it.

“Report all the actions of the blood relatives of the Gu family.”

This is an order I received as soon as I was assigned to the escort.

to whom why? Is this really protecting them?

To Muyeon, it was not an escort, but surveillance.

But I didn’t question it. Muyeon wasn’t sure if I deserved it.

Then, the target of Muyeon’s escort was determined.

It was Guyangcheon, the only son of the third family of the family’s four children.

The first impression was not very good. Like all members of the Kuga family, his grumpiness stands out with his sharp eyes and pouting mouth.

I didn’t try to mix the conversation a few times, but I didn’t have an immature personality.

‘i look forward to. young master.’

‘An escort?’

‘Yes, it is said to be lead-free.’

‘Ah, they asked me to do it as a woman, so I’m really bad at things.’

‘yes…?’

‘Don’t talk to me because I’m annoyed. Go over there in the corner, don’t be seen by me.’

…I wonder if the senior swordsman who took over took over the medicine in my hand.

‘What is this?’

‘If you’re having a temper, just listen in one ear and let it out in the other, and put them in your hands one by one, then it’ll be a little better.’

I express my gratitude to my swordsman senior at the time. Hearing that, I was able to spend a little more comfortably.

I don’t know if that was Dae-ju’s intention, but thanks to Mu-yeon’s week with Gu Yang-chun, she had the idea that she wanted to go back to the swordsman’s college.

It may be comfortable physically, but mentally it was a difficult day in a different sense.

Then one day.

Mu-yeon heard that Jang-ro Lee was looking for Guyangcheon.

Sure enough, as soon as Yangchun heard the news, he ran away into the street.

should I have held on? Muyeon’s troubles were short-lived. Mu-yeon was more afraid of Gu Yang-chun’s bullshit than Lee’s scolding.

Mu-yeon quietly watched Gu Yang-cheon in the street where he was dragged to a slaughterhouse.

There, Yangchun Gu did not do anything in particular.

I just quietly watch people.

‘…’

Quietly indifferent.

Sometimes that boy’s eyes were like that.

What do you think? Even in his temper, I can see the emotions that pop out of Gu Yang-cheon.

Muyeon knew. Because I felt like I was getting tired of it.

That is definitely ‘resignation’.

Guyangcheon has the pupils that have given up. What did the boy give up when he was half certain to become the head of a noble lineage?

Muyeon couldn’t figure out why that boy was wearing a thorn.

I didn’t really want to dig into it. Because I didn’t have the energy to do that.

Then it was a moment.

The air surrounding Guyangcheon has changed.

What should I say? Muyeon unknowingly put her hand on the handle of the sword. Even when he was active as a swordsman, he was said to have a good sense of humor.

Mu-yeon hurriedly made a bet and looked around to check, but she didn’t feel anything like killing.

‘what?’

What is this sticky, eerie feeling? It is to the point of giving goosebumps to the back of the creepy energy on the back.

That cool feeling didn’t last long.

“Do you want to be a muggle?”

A child, whose face could not be seen, appeared with a basket full of potatoes in his arms.

In an instant, the energy surrounding him disappeared. Could that child be the culprit of this aura?

It’s not likely, but you never know. Mu-yeon approached Gu Yang-cheon with the mindset that she could pull it out at any time.

“young master…?”

Surprisingly, Yangchun Gu was eating the potatoes the child gave him. Always overturning the table because of his short mouth… Anyhow, the short-mouthed Gu Yang-cheon eats potatoes.

It was even more of a problem when I looked at the child. The clothes she was wearing were worn out and in poor condition.

Gu Yangchun, who repeatedly wears clothes once and throws them away, did not know when he would make a fuss when he saw that.

The child had to be sent quickly.

“You dare now…”

“Do you have medicine?”

“yes?”

“Do you have any medicine?”

The operation failed. It was because Gu Yangchen stopped talking.

But are you looking for medicine? Muyeon didn’t bear it, you ate all of them on your way back earlier. I couldn’t say that.

After rummaging around, luckily, there was only one medicine left.

Did the escort carry medicine and medicine? Did he learn martial arts for this?

Guyangcheon received the medicinal fruit given to him by Muyeon.

I was thinking of using it to wipe my appetite that was abandoned with potatoes.

“Do you want to eat this?”

I handed it to the child in front of me.

‘..what?’

Of course, I thought that I would eat the medicine and insult the child with harsh words.

Gu Yang-cheon, whom he had seen so far, was such a person.

Something has changed, but what has changed?

He even apologizes, saying that he wanted to give more, but there is no more. It was difficult for Mu-yeon to understand the current situation.

‘I’ll see where the sun rises tomorrow.’

I felt like I had to check if it was west or east or south.

Shortly thereafter, the child who received the medicine and liked it disappeared along with the old man who appeared next.

The curious thing is that the girl and the old man whom he met on the street shortly after were working in Guyangcheon’s residence.

That day was definitely the starting point. Guyangcheon has changed.

Gu Yangchen began to practice. It’s amazing how he trains, but he said he’s even doing physical training at a fairly high intensity.

It’s about how many times you’ve seen it yourself.

Attitude towards employees has changed. It’s not about being nice. completely indifferent.

I don’t care if I work hard or make mistakes. Users liked it, saying it was heaven more than before.

Countless things have changed.

‘Has it really changed…?’

Mu-yeon remembers the eyes Gu Yang-chun sometimes had. Those eyes kept bothering me.

It looks like he’s hiding something. Even though a child who is only in the middle of ten years old would have to hide something.

‘Maybe it wasn’t changed, it was revealed.’

for what?

Muyeon didn’t know that until now.

The day I came out to the street again with Yangcheon Gu. Guyangcheon visited Haomen, which was quietly operating in the depths of an alley.

How does the self-restraint of the political faction relate to the Sa faction? And how did you know where this place was?

It was full of incomprehensible things.

Even the words of Hao Wenju came out of Gu Yangchun’s mouth.

It was almost too late to bring out the sword even if he was surprised.

Hao Mundo’s sword was faster than expected.

Guyangcheon did not blink an eye even while watching the pouring sword blades.

How could that be?

Suddenly, the story that Dae-ju used to bring up when he was drinking passed by.

‘Kuga is not as bright as you think. Whatever you see, don’t go deep.’

Muyeon’s thoughts when he remembered this were complicated.

After getting out of Haomen, Gu Yangchen bought a lot of medicinal fruits as if nothing had happened.

Even with his own money… he still hasn’t received the money.

After returning to Sega, Gu Yang-cheon asked to keep it a secret, as this was a family affair. He also replied that he would do the same.

But in the end, I had to report.

Mu-yeon, who returned to the escort and was writing a report, did not understand that he was hesitant.

Just write it down. that was his job. why can’t i write this

If you’re looking for an answer, it’s intuition. His intuition judged that it was better not to write this down.

What the hell. What’s wrong with this? Thoughts continued to linger.

In the end, Mu-yeon, who was lost, only talked about going to Hao-mun, and not much about Hao-munju.

It’s a stuffy night. Not being able to understand oneself was suffocating.

Suddenly, Muyeon wanted to swing his sword. So I went outside and grabbed the sword.

How many months? The feeling of wanting to swing the sword was a different feeling than when I swung to forget the subtle thing.

what am i

Who is Gu Yangchen?

what is a gourd

When I put the unanswered question into the sword, the sword answered.

On that day, Mu-yeon achieved his first feat in several months.

I liked it like a child, and even made a noise to the old man who was sweeping the house in Guyangcheon with a broom.

I felt as if my mind, which had been foggy, had cleared up a bit.

“…I think I can go back now.”

At this level, it seemed like he could go back to the swordsman. In a way, this must also be the virtue of Guyangcheon.

Mu-yeon was grateful for Gu Yang-cheon, who did not ask even though he vaguely knew what he had in mind.

So it seemed that he himself would not be able to say or say what Gu Yang-chun would have had.

Why did he wear the mask of a madman and throw it off now? I decided not to dare to think about what the secret of the Gu family was.

I’m trying to put in an application to return to the swordsman like that.

“…Szechuan?”

Go to Sichuan.

….Why me?

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

“You mean the Party War Exhibition?”

A day passed after Elder Lee spat out a way that didn’t sound like the word runaway.

When I asked if running away made sense, Elder Lee put on a sad expression and said he would find a way.

What brought that was the participation in the Party Army Conference.

“I get invitations every year, but it wasn’t worth going.”

The party meeting was one of the meetings invited by each family in the party gate.

As befits the age of iron, it was an exhibition showing the weapons made by artisans in Tangmun.

“Is it open now…?”

Maybe once…. In my previous life, I had the experience of attending with the name of Sogaju just once.

I remembered that fancy weapons were all over the place.

“It will be opened in 15 days, so it would be perfect if we start now.”

In terms of time, there was a distance, so it was breathtaking. In that short gap, can you find the gold natural song of Sichuan?

“But how did you get permission?”

The reason I attended was to take the face stamp of the party since it became Sogaju in effect.

It was strange that a blood relative gave permission to leave for close to a month. Kuga was not an easy thing to do.

Even at that time, it was possible because I became Sogaju.

Elder Lee chuckles.

“I decided to just listen to the family head’s request.”

“Did you go that far?”

What kind of request did he say he would make things so easy?

To be honest, I didn’t want to put it on a ticket or a wagon going somewhere.

It’ll be better than running away… No, is this running away?

For a moment, I got goosebumps at the fact that I had similar thoughts to Elder Lee.

‘No matter how much I do, I’m more like that bear-like old man…’

Cancer! by the way

“Since we promised, is there anything special and Yangchun-ah?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know why you want to step on the land of Sichuan, but you are definitely a blood relative of the Gu family. Always keep that thought in your head and do the right thing.”

“…”

In other words, it meant not to get into trouble.

I put on a puzzled expression at the words of Elder Lee. If someone else had said it, it would have been really cool and proud.

When Elder Lee told me not to crash, it seemed really unrealistic.

“What is that expression? It looks like the old lady will want to hit Honeybam if she does something wrong.”

“…it’s so cool that I can’t even stop.”

Either way, it’s a good thing. Even if you arrive in Sacheon and don’t find the note of Geum Natural House.

At that time, I wanted to use a different method so that at least Gyecheonmun won’t get it.

“Then when should we depart?”

“What and when are you leaving? I have to go now.”

“Didn’t you hear…?”

What is this human talking about now?

I haven’t made any preparations, so how can I leave right away…

“I ordered an attendant to pack my things, but I’ll have to go now.”

You were unnecessarily quick to prepare…

“Where did my opinion go?”

“You wanted to go, so the old lady prepared it right away.”

“Isn’t it too soon…?”

“How long does it take to go back and forth, so wouldn’t it be better to go quickly?”

That’s true, but something was so.

I can see Muyeon coming from afar. Mu-yeon had a blank expression, as if something had escaped her soul.

Why is that guy doing that again?

Without time to judge the situation, I was pushed towards the carriage as if pushed by Elder Lee.

The number of personnel was several escorts, including Muyeon, and two attendants. There was no hypocrisy in it.

I was worried that he might be here because he’s an exclusive attendant, but I’m glad he did.

‘But should I go silently? I think he’ll be disappointed.’

It will be empty for almost a month. Of course, it would be comfortable to leave it behind, but there seemed to be no time to say hello.

“Can we go on like this? At least I have to talk to the general and then go…”

“That! The old man knew everything. Let’s go!”

I pressed down on it almost half way and the door closed.

“No, there are all these departures…!”

I couldn’t speak. It was because the coachman moved.

Just like that, the carriage moved away from Sega.

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

After the carriage left, Elder Lee untied his arms behind his back. Then I turned around and walked towards Guyangcheon’s quarters.

“Now let’s talk. senior.”

In the place where there was no one in Guyangcheon, Geomjon was already established.

There was only coolness left in the swordsman’s eyes, who always had a benevolent smile.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s about why the head of the family dared to ask me to do that.”

Elder Lee sat across from Sword Master. The gigantic Elder Lee and the dwarf Swordsman were compared.

In a way, he has a physique that Elder Lee can lightly suppress, but Elder Lee knows.

You shouldn’t judge by appearance.

Inside that little body is the sky. Unlike the special title, Geomson (儉尊) had already risen to the point where he would not need a sword.

“The reason why seniors turn over the midfield and look for Uiseon. I am curious about that.”

Swordsman looked at Elder Lee and said nothing. Seeing this, Elder Lee sighed.

Because I noticed you wouldn’t answer.

“Then I will ask you something else.”

Elder Lee took a sip of the tea to see if he was thirsty. He slowly swallowed the tea and opened his mouth.

“What the hell is that senior’s granddaughter?”

Swordsman’s cold eyes turned to Elder Lee.

“That child.”

Elder Lee met the Sword Master’s eyes.

“Are you sure the person was right?”

At Elder Lee’s words, swordsman’s wager filled the room like a raging storm.
