Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 258

< Episode 258 > Before going to Anhui. (1)

Sarak—

The first sound you always hear in the desolate silence.

It’s the sound of turning over a book.

Sarak—

I don’t know what’s so busy.

My father was always at work. He carefully opened the room and came in.

His father’s face was still the same.

“I heard you called.”

I spit out the words, and only then did my father raise his head and meet my eyes.

“okay.

Put down the book you were looking at.

Then he looked at me and opened his mouth.

“At first, there was a lot of hardship.”

“no.”

“This is the end of your punishment.”

The first few months of closing were over.

In addition, the wire that had been left for over a year was now finished.

When I think about it, it’s not a punishment, but I was able to grow my strength through the process.

In a way, it was right to see that it was rather helpful.

‘Or… did you make it that way on purpose?’

That’s why I had doubts about it.

‘I’m sure not.’

I |.

.

Even if the closing is so.

It won’t be a wire row.

My father probably doesn’t know that I can absorb demonic energy.

Sending them to the front will be punished.

‘It was better than my previous life.’

My previous life was not one year, but two years.

I was dragged by Goo Hee-bi’s hand and rolled around, passing the ordeal of death.

It was like real hell back then.

‘I guess it’s not that different now.’

Let’s get the feeling out.

Rather than being hard on the body.

‘My mind… was tired.’

I mean it in a way.

I didn’t really want to recall the process.

Because I’m making a shaky face.

my father tells me

“As long as there are no problems in the future, I will leave for Anhui in a few days, just as I sent the letter.”

As soon as the conversation was lightly finished, it was straight to the point.

For me, it was better to go straight to the main topic in an uncomfortable atmosphere.

It was the same character.

furthermore.

Is this for real? If you ask if you’ve been to

‘Anhira…’

maybe once or twice.

That was only a few times with bad intentions as a demon in his previous life.

‘I never thought I’d go to a place like that for the purpose of engagement.’

Life was something I didn’t even know I knew.

Of course, you can’t just run away and say you won’t go.

‘I can hit it though.’

For that reason, I thought I would not be able to do that because I remembered the face of a woman who would have been lying down and trying to sleep in my or her own by now.

‘Am I really engaged?’

An engagement in my life out of the blue. By

the time

I gradually feel a sense of reality and an unknown feeling comes up.

“Some wives will accompany me to Anhui.”

” .yes?”

I had to swallow my breath in vain at my father’s words.

Mrs. Sun? My wife is going to Anhui with me?

” why?”

Unbeknownst to me, the words came out.

In response to my question, my father makes a strange expression, which is rare.

of course.

Even that difference was so subtle that it was hard to tell unless you looked closely.

“Why? That’s a strange question.”

I know.

I spit it out without even knowing it.

As it is an engagement ceremony of blood relatives who accompany even the head of one or three families.

Due to her position, it was not unusual for Mi Hyo-ran, the hostess and first wife of the family, to attend.

‘Wait… then.’

A thought flashed through my mind and I immediately asked my father.

“Is this perhaps the reason Mrs. Mi returned to Sega?”

“okay.”

ah.”

Only then did he understand why Mrs. Mi had returned to Sega earlier than she had in her previous life.

It must have been because of my engagement ceremony.

‘Because I never got engaged in my previous life.’

rather than not Because of my bad reputation, engagement invitations didn’t come.

When I recall, something was very sad.

How much do you act like a dog?

It’s a prestigious family, but I wonder if the engagement invitation didn’t come.

Of course, that’s not the only reason.

Goo Hee-bi also recalled that she did not do it even though she was of the age to get married.

‘…my wife is going with me.’

Although it is for official reasons.

I wondered if it would be embarrassing.

Of course, I am also a little burdened.

“by the way.”

“yes.”

“I heard that there was friction with the Hwangbo family on the front line.”

” .ah.”

I was taken aback by my father’s words.

Where did you hear it?

I thought I did a good job controlling my mouth.

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

It wasn’t really a big deal.

The eldest brother of Hwangbo’s bloodline was harpooned and brought to his knees.

To the extent that he revealed his younger brother’s desire and put him into the family war?

It’s no big deal.’

that’s my time

Exterminating all of Sega is fundamental.

They say they fought over whether to destroy the midfield or not?

It doesn’t matter if you become a poor family head or not.

cancer! don’t be like that

After hearing my answer, my father looked me in the eyes for a moment.

“okay.

He answered briefly and then said nothing more.

It meant that, as always, that was enough.

‘ .It’s more scary because they don’t ask too much.’

It has been like that since before.

Unless I have an accident that crosses a certain line.

My father often moved on, thinking it was just that.

Of course, the moment I crossed the line in my father’s standards, I was killed, so I tried to keep that level.

..is not it? It seems like I didn’t really keep it.

anyway.

after this.

A short trip to the upper section related to Guga.

I heard about trivial schedules such as the basic education that you need to receive as a blood relative.

“.. And about the schedule after that, I want to hear from the general manager.”

“yes.”

The important things in the end.

I will go to Anhui to hold the engagement ceremony.

My wife goes there too.

Right. It seemed like that.

My father’s entourage order has also fallen.

The moment you try to go slowly.

“…Patriarch.”

“hmm?

I remembered I had to ask about what had happened on the front lines.

A marble that the ancestors left behind.

The beast said it was a seed.

With the saying that if the seeds bloom, big things will happen.

this.

‘Does my father know?’

I was curious about that.

“It’s the marbles in the center.”

“okay.”

“Does the head of the family know what it is?”

Hearing

my question, my father’s hand stopped instantly.

His eyes were still on me.

I can see her red eyes glowing, and I want to avoid her gaze without realizing it.

“Why are you asking that?”

“.. I was curious about what it was.”

Have you lost your mind at the sudden question?

My father, who was silent for a moment, opens his mouth to me again after a moment.

“You don’t need to know yet.”

After speaking firmly, he turned his gaze back to the bookstore.

In a way, it was a very firm refusal.

Even in the midst of that, the words my father spat out still lingered in my ears.

‘Not yet…’

If you don’t need to know yet.

I mean someday you’ll find out.

If I’m not mistaken, my father seemed to know what the marble was.

‘I don’t know if he knows it as a seed or not, just like he said.’

At least he knew that the marble had some meaning.

the problem is.

‘If I ask more, they say they won’t answer.’

I’ll have to be persistent here trying to figure it out somehow.

I didn’t know if my father’s touch would burn my hair.

‘At least I have to protect my hair.’

God said before that even if you fix everything else, you can’t fix hair loss or burnt hair.

“.. Then, head of household.”

“Do you still have any business left?”

“How about Seolbong?”

This was a different matter.

My father’s eyes widen slightly, perhaps because this is an unexpected question.

“Is it Seolbong?”

“If I go to Anhui, what should I do with the contract there?”

I decided to give the heat once at a certain period.

Seolbong’s constitution doesn’t work unless it’s my heat.

In fact, my father and Gu Heifei tried it.

I only feel the heat for a moment.

It seems that he couldn’t fight off the cold air that remained in his body or inside.

‘Then, is this also the aftermath of the magic breath perforation?’

It seemed already certain that it was not.

Even the cold that took Seolbong’s life in his previous life.

The magic puncher was in a shape that could be swallowed casually.

‘The only doubt is that I don’t know if I’m taking her energy, or if the heat really just gets rid of the cold.’

To say that it brings luck.

Seeing as there is no particular feeling on the Danjeon side.

It didn’t seem like that again.

In response to my question, my father immediately took out the answer and told me.

“I have already finished talking with Moyongga.”

“yes? when?” To say that the story is over, I never heard the story from Mo Yong-hee,

and I didn’t take it to see it.

But after returning to the four and three generations, I never saw Mo Yong-hee’s son properly.

“What are you supposed to do?”

“Huh…” =

The father, who was about to answer the question, turns his head and looks out the window for a moment.

I want to see if there is something, but I also look in the same direction for a while.

There were only bushes outside, but nothing in particular could be seen.

“… It looks like it’s waiting for you to go out and listen to the rest.”

“yes? Who is waiting for the season…”

Is it the general?

My father winked at me as if there was nothing more to talk about.

It meant not to waste any more time and to leave quickly.

At that glance, I eventually took a proper bow to my father and moved out of the room.

And then.

‘ hey.’

I called the guy who was sleeping inside.

[Kreung?]

As soon as I heard the call, I felt as if I was moving my body in the depths of the Danjeon.

Earlier, I said that if I go back to Sega, I will not have any energy for the time being, so I went to sleep.

It looks like he was really sleeping.

I’ll be by your side for a while, and I won’t.

This guy listened better than I thought.

I should say that it feels like raising a real puppy.

Of course that’s it.

The point was not this.

‘When will Noya wake up?’

[Kkeureung…?]

‘A year has already passed.’

In order for him to talk to me like this and take in energy a little more easily.

Shin Noya had to sleep for a while.

The duration of such a contract, concocted by talking in the closing room, was one year.

And now, a year and a few months have passed.

‘Don’t pretend you don’t know, you know that the period has already passed.’

[ .Kureung.]

‘Wake up quickly, I have something to ask Noya.’

Something to ask Shin Noya.

It was about the beads I saw on the wire.

Noya is a person who was active shortly after the opening of the Magic Gate.

He is a person who has directly experienced the bloody calamity caused by blood demons.

That is because he was a person who was active in the past .

‘Doesn’t he know about marbles?’

I wanted to.

He seemed to be a person from the past, so he didn’t know much about Murim Maeng and Gu Gani.

You never know.

More than anything.

Gradually, I missed Noya’s annoyance a little.

[ Kreung.]

Without giving an answer to my question.

He let out a small cry and gradually erased his presence.

This movement was clearly intended to fall asleep again.

‘Where am I going… hey hey!’

You must have heard my urging.

The guy didn’t give an answer.

This mine disappeared into the golden silence again.

Look at this baby.

Could it be that the pear is cut?

You don’t seem to know that I’m an expert at slitting other people’s stomachs, right?’ Is it only

They could even cut it open and then burn it.

‘If you don’t want to do that, it will come out when you say nice things…’

“You’ve come.”

pop.

I stopped walking at the sound of a voice.

It’s because I heard an unexpected voice.

It was a familiar voice, so I turned my head and looked straight ahead.

The commander-in-chief stood in front.

The voice was that of a woman, not that of the general.

The surroundings, which I thought would have been a passageway to the outside, were already outside without noticing.

I guess I was thinking about something else, so I didn’t look closely.

The commander-in-chief takes a small bow as soon as he meets me.

He nodded slightly at this.

I immediately looked behind the commander-in-chief.

Because the owner of the voice was there.

Not even one familiar figure could be seen, but two.

“Why are you here?”

The woman in front of me answers my question, shaking her head slightly back.

“.. I was supposed to see you again. Because you can’t see it…”

The one who replied while shaking his head was Mo Yong-hee, whom he faced earlier during the day.

another one.

“Rice… together… to eat.”

As if it was natural, it was Namgoongbi’s child.

The two of them were staring at each other.

Maybe it’s because both of them originally had cold faces.

Or is it because we don’t like each other?

The atmosphere was not very good.

It was to the point where he stroked my arm without even realizing it.

‘Why is it so cold in summer?’

My body is not easy to feel the cold.

I was feeling the chill in midsummer.

“So you’ve been waiting here?”

Q

“Somehow…”

It was only then that I felt like I knew why my father was looking out the window.

Most of Sega is the area where my father’s senses extend.

He seemed to immediately recognize who the people standing in front of the door were.

Even if Namgoongbya is different.

I didn’t know Mo Yong-hee would be like this.

I looked at Mo Yong-hee and said with a sigh.

“But what if you are waiting outside like this? A kid who hates bugs.”

“.. sorry. I don’t know because I can see Namgung Sojeo…”

Mo Yonghee, who was ashamed of herself, replied with a slight blush.

He suddenly stops talking and looks straight at me.

It was a strange gaze.

“what? Why do you look like that?”

“…How does Confucius Gu know that I hate bugs?”

“…ah?”

this.

I made a mistake.

Although I urgently speak out as if to make an excuse.

“… Did you just hate it?”

“Is this your first time hearing something like that?”

‘I guess so.’

It doesn’t seem to work.

Hey, do you think it’s easy to think that you’ll be surprised by such a cold-looking caterpillar?

‘I didn’t know either.’

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to know.

The monsters I encountered in my previous life were insect-type.

Mo Yong-hee, who is much stronger than me, had to break down at that time.

It’s because of the memory that I had to roll around, struggling to die.

After I finished my work, I asked why the hell were you all of a sudden?

With an expression full of guilt, knowing Mo Yong-hee.

It was because he remembered the face of the bug that had been crying because it couldn’t be done.

‘ .In his own house, while raising moths.’

It is a widely known fact in Jungwon that the Mo Yongse family is conducting business using moth-type monsters.

It was very strange that the family’s golden jade-yeop hated insects.

“I just found out.”

“.. You can just know that…”

The moment Mo Yong-hee took a step closer.

A hand reaches out and pulls me.

You lose your balance and fall backwards.

White arms wrapped around me with a soft touch.

“.. That far…”

It was Namgoong Bi-ah’s hand that approached her unexpectedly.

Sword Dancer:

Looking at Bia Namgung, who had set the line as if no further approach was allowed.

Mo Yong-hee slightly frowned her eyebrows.

I can see that things are going crazy.

I urgently tried to send a helping eye to the general who was around.

“Holholholol…”

The quick-witted general was walking far away with a smile on his face.

‘…Throwing this away?’

Is it the survival instinct of someone who has served as the general manager for the three families for decades?

Even if it’s fast, it’s too fast.

at that time.

Tingling-

A thrilling feeling arises from the person being hugged.

It was because of the feeling of brain power in Namgoongbia.

together.

In an instant, I felt a cold touch brush my forearm.

It seems that this is Mo Yong-hee’s cold temper.

The two sharpen the atmosphere little by little, like cats with their fur upright.

If I leave it alone, I think I will be crushed in the middle.

In the end, I had to write a number.

phut-!

“.. !”

“Oops!”

Clap your hands with a bet.

Wind pressure blew and ventilated the surroundings.

This action is a method that requires a high degree of betting application that is tiring.

I just didn’t know how to use it in this situation.

I continued talking as I looked at the dazed women.

“Properly, the head of the family is watching over the sun.”

“Ugh,

99,

did you come to your senses at my words?

It gradually returns to its original expression.

This place is definitely the home of the head of the household.

It was also the place where my father’s feelings were the strongest.

You’re probably seeing what you’re doing.

I know Mo Yong-hee, whose eyes are open to this work.

Did he know what he had just done, even belatedly?

The expression on his face had changed considerably.

Of course, the same goes for Namgung Biah.

Seeing that, I spoke cautiously.

“Don’t do this here. First of all, let’s eat.”

It reminded me of the fact that Namgoongbi had come to eat with her.

The two of them nodded as if they were looking at me right away.

‘I’ll have to drag it out.’

Could it be because of the atmosphere?

I was in a hurry and wanted to go outside instead of doing this right now.

The option of going out to eat with these two people.

As for what a stupid choice it was.

I was able to understand it without even looking at it.
