Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 246

Episode 246 Unintentional Companion. (2)

What is a wire?

The land that died because it couldn’t solve the magic gate properly.

It has now been transformed into a habitat for monsters, and .

In addition, the land was constantly drying up due to the ever-opening demonic scriptures.

So it’s more questionable.

Why, behind such a barren plain?

Could there be a dense forest?

The land that died without leaving a drop of water was so vast.

How can such a green forest be maintained on such a land?

Although many people have doubts.

I didn’t bother digging into it.

For generations, according to Maeng’s orders, I couldn’t go out into the forest recklessly.

It was because he needed permission from the Gu family to enter the forest.

Isn’t it funny?

The Moorim Maengi who leads and directs numerous political factions.

It was said that the Kuga family’s permission was required only on the frontlines.

This directly from the alliance.

The forest on the front lines was no different than implicitly indicating that the realm of Guga was correct.

‘Because of that, I had to go back and forth here terribly.’

The management of the forest had to be handled by the Kuga family.

Even the fact that originally, Goo Hee-bi belonged to Oh Geomdae was in charge.

When I took the seat of Sogaju, I took over.

Will this life be very different?

That’s not it.

As long as I don’t run away without getting a seat in Sogaju.

This part will not change.

Damn it.

Crisp.

Stepping on the branches, he moved slowly.

It is a night when the moonlight clearly rises.

In terms of time , it must be around the middle of the morning .

‘I wish I could go back by morning.’

The road into the center is not very peaceful.

In the first place, I didn’t even drill a hole that could be called a road properly.

It was a tough place to go in and out like this.

[Kreung…]

I hear the sound of crying as if I’m holding my breath.

It seemed like he was paying attention to see if he knew that I was doing this because of him.

‘I really should throw it away.’

[Greung.]

The sound of crying that I heard once more.

I felt confident, as if that couldn’t be the case.

Even annoying.

leave that guy behind.

He let out a deep sigh.

It feels like my sighs have increased significantly lately.

Hoo-wook.

The wind blew.

Summer was coming, but

The night wind was still cold.

For some reason, I was concerned about the woman following me from behind.

“You mean…”

I said a little and looked back.

Eyes meet with a woman.

She must have been looking at me from the beginning.

“yes.

Mo Yong-hee’s cheeks were slightly red as she answered briefly.

is it cold

The weather wasn’t cold enough, but in her physical condition, it was possible.

Just looking at it right now, Mo Yong-hee was wearing thick clothes that didn’t match the season she knew.

Looking at it, I frowned for a moment.

I grabbed Mo Yong-hee’s wrist and dragged her.

“oh…!”

Perhaps it was the sudden contact, but Mo Yong-hee’s eyes widened as if she was startled.

He blew heat into the hand he held without paying attention.

99

Is it because of the heat from the body?

Mo Yong-hee slightly twisted her body.

Looking at Mo Yong-hee like that, I asked.

“Why did you follow me?”

“.. Fierce Swordsman said,

“Don’t make excuses for him. Am I that stupid?”

Do you cut off what you were talking about in the middle?

Mo Yong-hee turns her head away from me.

This time, not only her eyes but also her ears were red.

Are you ashamed of yourself?

“It’s strange that he didn’t come and took a break. I wouldn’t have asked you because there was no one to find a substitute.”

“.. Only when it’s like this is quick to notice.”

“what?”

“no.”

Mo Yong-hee’s atmosphere was like a sharpened knife.

.

…

..

For some reason, I felt like I was getting more and more broken as time passed.

When it comes to deceiving someone or trying to hide herself, she’s an incredibly thorough woman.

Why do you look so fierce these days?

“I didn’t do anything special. It was just a request.”

“Did you make a request?”

“I just asked ‘politely’ if I could go instead. The fiery sword accepted it.”

“That… doesn’t make sense? No matter how you look at it.”

Do you think what will happen to me when I go back if I send this instead?

Even if I don’t have enough verse, I won’t be that stupid.

I looked at Mo Yong-hee with suspicious eyes.

Mo Yong-hee, who kept avoiding her gaze, slightly bit her lip.

“… It’s better to pretend you don’t know and go together.”

“Are you even brazen now?”

“Confucius-nim is rather comfortable going with me, too.”

What else do you mean by this?

Why is it convenient for me to go with Mo Yong-hee?

Are you trying to express your doubts?

Mo Yong-hee gives the answer to this.

“Less than many and, if possible, alone.” “ ”

“Isn’t this what Confucius wants?”

I had to lose my words for a moment at the words of Mo Yong-hee.

I kept pretending to be blind and restless.

And at this time, it was a sharp look.

‘I don’t know which rhythm to match.’

Anyway, she is a woman who can’t be careless.

How did you notice?

Checking the state of the core was not a very difficult act.

Strangely, the number of monsters decreases the further you go into the center.

It was enough to check what was inside and come out.

In fact, even when Goo Hee-bi moved directly, she tended to go with a small number of people.

That’s rather convenient.

‘Of course, it’s a bit different from my intention.’

In the case of me, even when I attached Gujeolyeop and Muyeon, I only went with them when I went, and I had no intention of going with them at the entrance.

Because that’s better than showing what you can’t show.

In the first place, unless they were blood relatives, they wouldn’t be able to come and go.

However, the current problem was Mo Yong-hee.

“What do you gain by doing that?”

Instead of bothering Gujeol-yeop.

I don’t know about Moo-yeon, but it’s probably because Mo Yong-hee’s daughter wrote the number, so the two of them are going up.

What does Mo Yong-hee get from doing that?

“You mean what I get?”

Mo Yong-hee’s light blue eyes turned to me at my question.

I brush my reddened cheeks and come up with an answer.

“Time.”

“hour?”

It was an unexpected answer.

That means you get time.

Examining the wrist still held.

Knowing Mo Yong-hee continues to speak again.

“Time to be with you like this.”

“.. what?”

“Do you know what I hate the most?”

What did Mo Yong-hee hate the most?

“Uselessly consuming emotions. It’s the act of craving and craving even when you don’t get anything. I hated that.”

There is a little bit of subtle emotion in the cool words.

“It’s useless. That’s because it changes people and ruins them. My father was ruined like that because of my mother.”

I could feel the contradiction in Mo Yong-hee-ah’s voice shaking a little as she said ‘because’ without hesitation.

Mo Yong-hee’s mother.

Are you talking about the North Sea Princess?

Mo Yong-hee’s words were a story that I agreed to a certain extent.

How terrifying it is to be swayed by emotions.

Because I knew better than anyone.

“But funny.”

The corners of Mo Yong-hee’s mouth went up slightly as she continued to speak.

The woman who seems to have made ice and turned it into a human smiles.

“I noticed that I was doing it.”

Seruk.

The hand that was holding it slips out.

Mo Yong-hee, it was with her own strength.

“But it wasn’t that bad.”

“You…”

“So this is important to me too.”

The words you speak carry a heavy weight.

That’s what Mo Yong-hee said to me.

‘ .why?’

That she has a crush on me right now, no matter how stupid I am, I can tell.

The question is why the hell is she doing this to me now .

‘Was it too close?’

Once every few weeks with a contract that you have to heat it up.

Or was it a problem that I saw it once every few days?

By the time I have a thousand thoughts.

A small laugh was heard.

It was the sound of Mo Yong-hee laughing.

I cover my mouth and giggle as I wonder what is so funny.

“I knew Confucius would make that kind of expression when he heard this.”

Q

“I didn’t mean to ask for an answer. I was just asking for attention. I hope you don’t notice.”

Mo Yong-hee steps forward and passes in front of me.

I could feel the faint smell and the shallow cold air.

“I know you will be burdened.”

Every single word stabbed me in the chest.

I can’t run anywhere.

“still. I even needed that burden.”

The last thing you say is spit it out.

Mo Yong-hee goes one step further.

As if I had been struck by lightning, I was staring blankly at her back like a mantis stone.

She looked back slightly and told me.

“Come quickly. It can’t be late.”

Watching them walk peacefully as if nothing had happened.

Rather, I should have been embarrassed.

maybe.

I thought it might be the most embarrassing day out of all the things that have happened this year.

After that, they walked through the forest without saying a word to each other and arrived at the desired location before they knew it.

To be honest, I thought I was going to die of awkwardness.

Mo Yong-hui knew nothing.

What is your personality really like?

I’m so dizzy I’m on the verge of losing my mind.

Mo Yong-hee was rather calm.

‘ Let’s ignore it for now.’

Because I have work to do right now.

I couldn’t focus on Mo Yong-hee.

To be honest, I can’t completely ignore it.

What can I do though?

When I finally reached the entrance.

Mo Yong-hee stops her steps.

“Bye.”

“ .Uh uh yes.”

He seemed to be waiting at the entrance as if he had expected it.

I was going to tell you to stay here anyway .

It seemed like a ghost noticed.

In a forest infested with monsters like this.

Even more so, I wish I could leave it alone at night.

If it’s this close to the center.

There were rather few monsters.

No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.

I don’t know why.

I just know that it’s been like this before.

I left Mo Yong-hui and slowly moved my feet toward the entrance.

at that time.

Wooung-

When I entered the entrance, I heard a small tinnitus.

It was the recoil I felt when penetrating the camp.

This is a principle similar to the barrier embedded in the basement of the Kuga.

‘It’s amazing every time I see it.’

Recognizing that they are blood relatives and making them pass through is itself a.

Even now, it was a technique that could not be found anywhere.

If it’s not blood, it’s tung! I heard it was thrown out.

In fact, I knew there was a backlash.

I’ve seen other people go through it.

‘I wonder if I can go beyond the phrase.’

I had a sudden thought.

It is true that Gujeolyeop also has a collateral branch, but it is inherited by blood.

If you want to go beyond, you might be able to go.

‘I’m sure they won’t confirm that he’s the son of the family head.’

What kind of truth is not even a living being.

I wondered if that would be too much.

The center is literally the center of the forest.

walking in little by little

Between the trees and grass that are full of .

A small circular field.

A small puddle caught my eye in the center.

The sight of the front line forest is beautiful.

It was such a harmonious landscape that I wondered if it could be created naturally.

Keep your eyes away and focus.

I saw something over the puddle in the distance.

There was something like the black magic gate that I had removed last time.

‘I never thought this would happen here.’

Should I say good luck or bad luck?

‘What’s good is what’s so bad.’

In any case, the lack of luck was still the same even after time passed.

[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.]

As soon as you find it, the inside of your body reacts.

Go ahead and swallow it.

His whole body was shaking as he cried out for himself.

‘I’m going to give it anyway, so shut up.’

[Greung…]

Splash.

I slowly put my foot in the puddle and approached the crack.

As you approach, a giant orb in the center of the pool catches your eye.

That was one of the reasons Kuga searched the heart of this forest.

Check that it has not fallen from the pillar-like support.

I should have checked to see if there were any cracks.

Even if a typhoon blows, I’m fine, but why do I have to keep coming back?

I don’t know.

Even if it is the name of the three families.

What does the bead mean?

I don’t know what it’s for, though.

It is an object that the ancestors of the beginning of time must have found and brought to this place.

My father called it a seed.

No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like a seed.

Where can I find such a big seed?

‘There doesn’t seem to be a problem.’

But anyway, I came here with an excuse to check.

Check the beads slightly, though.

Fortunately, it still doesn’t seem to be a problem.

It seems like something important.

The reason why I just threw it on the wire and checked it was simple.

The barriers around him were too strong.

He had to be at least the level of the Heavenly Demon from his previous life to break through and enter.

‘In reality, though, he tore it in.’

Looking at how even that Heavenly Demon tried to break the barrier with all her might.

It wouldn’t be an ordinary barrier.

‘Why did he try to enter this place?’

In a previous life, the Heavenly Demon tried to enter the center.

Not just here.

Although the Heavenly Demon was interested in the world’s ghosts and variables in the world, and went looking for things.

I didn’t know why the Heavenly Demon was interested in such a thing.

And as a result, the Heavenly Demon succeeded in entering this place, but was unable to take the marble.

Should I say I couldn’t?

No, it would be more accurate to say I didn’t take it.

After tearing through the barrier at best, he showed a disinterested expression as soon as he saw the marble.

-It’s meaningless to me.

That was the end.

He said that all high school students are high school students.

“… Tsk.”

I erased my thoughts about marbles.

I slowly reached out my hand and inserted it into the crack.

Same this time as last time.

When you put your hand in the crack, the gold gradually begins to decrease in the air.

All the cracks that were gradually getting smaller disappeared.

An empty space where nothing was left.

[Knock.]

He burps as if he’s satisfied with this.

“Are you full?”

[Kkeureung.]

Ah…

I had to go through a lot of trouble this late at night. Are you satisfied with yourself?

It feels like raising a real beast.

I don’t really like raising animals.

He licked his tongue and closed his eyes.

‘Has something changed?’

I try to feel the difference in my body by repeating holding and closing my hands.

Still didn’t feel a difference.

Wouldn’t it be rather fortunate if I didn’t have it?

Anyway, I finished my work without any problems.

I turned around and tried to get out of the puddle.

” .hmm?”

Suddenly, the beads I saw earlier come into my eyes.

The beads were of the same shape as the original.

It’s only been a few seconds, so there shouldn’t be any difference.

For some reason, the beads clearly came into my eyes.

‘what.’

It’s a strange feeling.

How to say. My fingertips were quite itchy.

It felt like I had to touch the marble… that feeling.

By the way, there is no problem with the beads if you touch them.

I actually touched it a few times. “ ”

I don’t know the English language.

I gazed at the beads and stretched out my hand.

It was to get rid of this subtle feeling.

It was a simple thought that suddenly caught my eye.

at that time.

[No… no.]

Hold on.

Before the outstretched hand touches the marble, it jumps into the air! and stopped.

Because all of a sudden he said to me.

The guy who crouched down as if he was full .

When I tried to touch the marble, it opened its eyes again.

‘No?’

[That…that’s… dangerous…]

I had to think carefully about his words.

Because this is the first time I’ve had a reaction like this.

‘Are you saying you’re dangerous? Are you saying I’m in danger?’

[ .Both… Both.]

Every time I asked something, I just shut up like a mute and stayed still.

It felt like I was talking hastily about whether I should touch the beads.

look at this guy

[Not yet… not yet… not…]

The words sparsely spattered with difficulty.

The impression is frowned upon.

What is the meaning of touching this?

It’s fine if you don’t touch the beads .

For some reason, I felt repulsive at his words.

‘what?’

I want to do more of the things I’m told not to do.

Are these emotions that little kids would have?

It feels a little different from that .

It feels like your throat is dry.

It feels like you have to touch it.

It was a bad feeling.

back.

In the end, I couldn’t control my emotions, so I used a bet to suppress them.

I feel dirty because he doesn’t seem to touch me when he tells me not to touch him.

It felt dangerous to me too.

[Now… if I… eat… it will explode.]

What is it that explodes?

body?

Or a bead?

“Whoa…

I don’t know what it is.

I turned around at the warning he raised once again.

“Explain.”

Still, I couldn’t go back.

[Kkeureung…]

“If there is no explanation to convince. Like you said, I’ll just touch it and explode.”

If I shouldn’t touch, should I not touch?

His temperament was not so good to live as he was told to do.

So you should listen.

As for why it shouldn’t be.

in my firm words.

Gradually, I feel the lower part of the Danjeon vibrate.

Was the crouching guy going on a rampage?

thud! thud!

Although I feel a huge vibration.

Fortunately, it wasn’t as painful as last time.

As I stand still feeling the vibration, it is momentary, but the fluctuating danteon eventually begins to calm down little by little.

and.

[Seed….]

Did you realize that there is no special way .

The guy spoke briefly to me.

[The seed of a large tree…]

The seed of a large tree.

‘.uh?’

It’s an incredibly simple name.

It just means a huge tree.

From the words he was spouting, there was a scene that passed through my mind without even realizing it.

‘no way.’

The day when the later exponents in their previous lives fell into the Demonic Realm as a group.

Just before I was thrown away as a bait and chewed alive by countless monsters to be swallowed and faced with death.

A tree that towered high enough to cover the sky that appeared in front of me.

For some reason, I said that I was the main character.

remembered the tree.
