Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 27
EP.27 After the Demonic Sword (魔劍后). (4)
After the Demon Sword (魔劍后). (4)
Two more days have passed since I had been with Namgoongbia, not an uncomfortable companion.
In just a little while, we will arrive at the town we had planned.
And after maintenance, we’ll set off for Tangga.
It felt like it would arrive much safer than the expected trip to Sacheon.
Excluding the day I met Namgoongbia, I encountered monsters a few times, but I didn’t see anything that could pose a threat.
In a way, it was four thousand trips that would have been close to ten days.
However, it was boring because the period was long, but it meant that there was nothing that could be a problem.
“Whoa…”
However, in a way, there was a big problem.
I kept wiping my face with my hand at the sight that made me sigh just by looking at it.
“Look at that sister! It’s a squirrel!”
“…Yes”
“Have you ever eaten a squirrel?”
“Yep? Oh no.”
Wi Seol-ah, who got off the carriage before she knew it, was sitting next to Namgung-bia, who was slowly following her, chatting with her.
Most of the time Wiseolah spoke and Namgungbia gave short answers, but Namgungbia was walking at Wiseolah’s pace, as if she didn’t hate it.
With a fierce look on her face, Wi Seol-ah grabs the collar of Bia Namgoong, who is about to fall into a strange path.
“…why are they friends?”
She kept telling her not to approach strangers, but Wi Seol-ah felt sorry for her and kept approaching Namgung-bia. What is it that is pitiful?
Should I have yelled at least once?
“Tsk.”
Nothing seemed to be going on.
I never expected to see the two of them close together.
“Lead free.”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
“How long… are you tired? What’s the color of your face?”
“Oh no, it’s fine.”
…It’s okay, but his face is dark, he’s tired and he’s about to die.
The reason why Muyeon was so tired and wanted to die was none other than Namgungbia.
On the first day, when Namgungbia was camping far away, she approached Muyeon, and Namgungbia asked for a fight.
Mu-yeon rejected it without the slightest hesitation.
‘I am the Bocchan’s escort. I don’t think I can use my strength anywhere else now to focus on escorting. sorry.’
Namgoongbia nodded at the polite refusal, but continued to watch Muyeon with eyes that seemed obsessed.
To be precise, I watched the sword of the unleaded rather than the unleaded.
In the end, Moo-yeon, who was suffering from stares near dawn, became quite tired, perhaps because she had not slept.
There’s no way Muyeon, a first-class soldier, didn’t sleep at night. Is it because it’s mentally difficult?
‘That crazy thing has already had that personality since then.’
Light years, when he met an interesting swordsman who was full of his castle, he would not hesitate to pull out his sword first.
I wonder if the thing I did the most in my previous life was to search for traces of the sword emperor and the sword master.
It doesn’t seem like they’re pulling out the sword right now, but I think it’s different from the cotyledon, so it’s still crazy.
Now, it seems to be a little less because Weiseolah is next to him and chirping like a sparrow, but I could see that he was looking at the smokeless sword right now.
…Actually, wouldn’t Wiseol-ah know about that?
‘It can’t be.’
What do you know?
It couldn’t have been. I decided to stay quiet because I don’t think there’s anything bad about the two of us sticking together.
We’ll be separated as soon as we reach the village anyway. And if you don’t get involved.
I thought so and closed my eyes for a while. I was thinking of getting some sleep.
Is it because of repeated camping and training for several days? I was able to fall asleep quickly.
how long has it been
A voiceless voice is heard outside.
“I can see your destination, Bocchan.”
Finally, seven weeks after leaving Shanxi, they arrived at the village.
*
I relieved my stiff body and got off the carriage.
Since we could reach Tanga in about a day from here, we had to take a break to recover from the fatigue of the party.
In my mind, I wonder if it would be better to just pass by, arrive, and rest.
When you arrive, you need to be well-groomed because people from the Tang family will come out to meet you.
In any case, the appearance of a famous family is quite annoying.
“I don’t know if there are any rooms.”
“You will find it soon.”
In this situation, it was always inconvenient to find a place to stay.
It is an area where not only the number of people is large, but even more so the name of Sega is not used.
Wi Seol-ah, who was looking around here and there, pulled the collar of Bia Namgung, who had been absent-mindedly behind her, as if she had found something.
“sister! He’s wearing the same clothes as my sister over there!”
“…ah.”
Following Wi Seol-ah’s words, Namgung-bia and even my eyes turned to the direction Wi Seol-ah pointed.
Unlike Namgoongbia’s uniform, which was dusty from traveling alone, it had a clean blue uniform with Namgung written on the lower hem.
They were the owners of Anhui and the most famous family representing the political faction and the prestigious family.
They were obviously the warriors of the Namgung family.
Just as we found them, the Namgung family members also look surprised to see us.
Suddenly, in the gap, someone ran to Namgoongbia.
“sister…!?”
He is a boy who seems to be my age.
Except for her fierce personality, Bia Namgung looks so cold that you can’t approach her recklessly.
If she was just a man, she was a boy who wanted to look like that.
Namgoongbia looked at the boy and waved her hand slightly.
“Hello… Cheon Jun-ah.”
“Sister, where the hell are you disappearing to? Do you know how many Sega people have been looking for?”
“I’m sorry… I got lost.”
At Namgungbia’s words, Namgung Cheonjun covers his forehead with his hand.
“Didn’t I tell you to tie it up with a rope and go?”
….A rope?
It’s not a dog, it’s not a dog, it’s a rope tied to a person…?
‘I think it’s possible if it’s a gilchi of that level…’
Namgungbia replied.
“…that’s kind of embarrassing. Even though.”
“Yes, so did you disappear within a day after leaving? You’re the one who said don’t worry and won’t get lost this time.”
“…sorry.”
Namgoong Bia lowered her tail at Namgung Cheonjun’s cold words.
Only then did Namgung Cheon-jun hurriedly pay his respects as if he had discovered us, who had been looking at us blindly.
“My name is Namgung Cheonjun of the Namgung family.”
After all, this boy was a thunder sword.
He was a boy who would later be called Murim Five Swords and become a swordsman representing the political faction. Then maybe by now…
“The Gugase Family’s Guyang……. It’s called Gujeolyeop. Perhaps the thunder dragon…”
Come to think of it, there was something I said to Namgoongbia, so I quickly changed my name.
At my question, Namgung Cheonjun’s face blushed slightly. Something’s a little annoying when the handsome pup blushes.
“…embarrassingly called that.”
He was shy, but there was pride and confidence in his tone.
Five Dragons and Three Peaks.
The eight most outstanding players among the current late scorers were called that in the midfield.
Among them, my oldest sister, Geombong Ku Hee-seon, was also included.
Noiryong Namgung Cheonjun Was he two years older than me?
I can’t remember exactly, but it probably is.
I felt something strange and looked to the side.
Next to me, Wi Seol-ah is looking at me with her flounder eyes open.
Maybe it’s because of the different names.
“…?”
It seemed like there were a lot of question marks floating above my head, so I quietly sent a sign telling me to be quiet.
Even so, he seemed to keep his mouth shut for the first time.
Namgung Chunjun asked me.
“You were a soldier of this old family. If you’ll excuse me, may I ask how you came to accompany my sister?”
That bitch suddenly appeared driving a monster and recklessly followed after saying that she was lost.
“It was said that he accidentally got lost, so we only accompanied him for a while.”
I couldn’t say it, so I had to spit it out a little bit.
This time, Namgoongbia opened her flounder eyes and looked at him.
It would be good for him to keep his mouth shut as he has money for dumplings on the road today.
However, Bia Namgoong finally opens her mouth as if she didn’t even notice that.
“No… I said I wasn’t with you…
” Be careful not to get lost next time.”
Of course, I didn’t mean to let it end.
Namgung Cheonjun, who saw that, said with a slight smile.
“Thank you for taking care of my sister…. Are you attending the party general meeting by any chance?”
“Ah yes… what.”
When I affirmed, Namgoongbia flinched.
Is it because you said you wouldn’t go to Sacheon? But what are you going to do? I said I didn’t like it.
“Then, did you find a lodging? Just in time, we are also heading to the party for the party party turnover, so please go with us.”
Did you rent an entire building? Namgung Cheonjun recommends me with a kind smile.
‘…No, I don’t want to get involved with that crazy thing.’
I had no intention of accepting it. If I had come this far, I didn’t want to be involved any more.
Since Namgung-bia was heading to Sacheon, I could have guessed that she was going for a party meeting.
But why do you have two blood relatives?
Whether it’s the Noi-ryong or Namgung-bia, both of them are direct descendants of the family head, so why did they come all the way here?
‘It doesn’t matter anyway, it’s just this far anyway.’
There was a purpose in the first place, and I had to cut it off with Namgoongbia. If you look for accommodation, you will find it.
Just in time, Mu-yeon approaches me as if she has found a place to stay. I immediately conveyed my intention of refusal to Namgung Chunjun.
“Thank you for your kind words, but we’re going to find another place to stay…”
“Boss…. They say there are no vacant rooms around. Shall we pull the wagon and visit the valley again…?”
“I tried, but I couldn’t help it because you recommended it. I’ll take care of you. Namgung Sohyup.”
…..fuck life.
*
I thought for a moment that if I couldn’t find a place to stay, it wouldn’t have been better to just sleep in the carriage.
The servants who came with him were the problem for him to go camping one more time.
To be honest, this was a half-excuse, and the gaping truth was that I was also a little tired of camping.
As soon as Namgung Cheon-jun guides her to the dorm, he takes Bia Namgung and disappears somewhere.
Namgoong Cheonjun’s angry face and Namgungbia’s face, who was terrified by the nagging that would come, look more pitiful compared to each other.
It was Namgoongbia’s karma, so I immediately turned off my nerves.
If there’s anything I’m curious about, it’s the relationship between the two.
It’s a sibling relationship that doesn’t look particularly bad at first glance.
I couldn’t help but question as I recalled the swordswoman from my previous life.
The first thing Demon Swordsman did as a demon was to drag hundreds of demons and erase the Namgung family from the map.
He began to gain notoriety as a demon for killing not only the head of the Sega family, but also the elders and even the servants.
What is that look like now?
I’ve never had a big conversation with Namgoongbia in my previous life.
Same with other demons.
For each other’s own purposes and wishes, they became demons and crawled under the Heavenly Demon. They had no sense of fellowship.
Because of that, I don’t know anything about Namgoongbia’s background. Not even curious about it.
First of all, I was a bit tired, so I got up to rest in my room.
I had to go upstairs, so I was going up the stairs, and in front of me, Namgoongbia, who had gone up earlier, was coming down.
“…ah.”
Namgoongbia, who met my eyes, took an example cautiously. I was very taken aback by the sight.
suddenly what…? Leaving behind my embarrassment, Namgoongbia speaks.
“Thank you for guiding me this far. The old small cooperative.”
“… Sojeo followed unilaterally, but.”
“thanked. See you next time.”
no i won’t see it
Namgoongbia, who looks more depressed than usual, passes me by, perhaps because she listened to the nagging.
When I went back up, Namgung Cheonjun was looking at me.
I was grateful to have rented the accommodation, so I tried to say hello again.
“Ah, Namgung Sohyup…”
But Namgung Cheonjun didn’t even listen to me, passing me by and hitting me on the shoulder.
Took!
Then, a voice came from the bottom of the stairs.
“…you need to know the subject.”
Namgung Chunjun’s voice is different from the warm one from before. It was a much colder voice.
“I tried to let you go once, but you don’t know the subject. I mean, don’t you dare talk to your sister.”
From the eyes we met, it was felt that we even lived a small life.
“I’ll let you go once, and if I see this happen again, I’ll cut your throat right away.”
After Namgung Cheonjun said that, he climbed the stairs and chased Namgungbia.
Seeing that, I nodded my head instead of being angry.
Rather fortunately.
‘…as expected, they were all crazy bastards.’
I wanted to be a little normal, but I had never seen a normal person among male palace surnames in my previous life.
I guess that guy is also the same.
It was the moment when I was determined to never get involved with those crazy people.
