Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 38

EP.38 The way back. (1)

The way back (1)

It is an unfamiliar ceiling.

Oh, what a clichéd and boring sentiment.

I never thought the day would come when I would think of these words.

It’s stuffy.

My head was dizzy and my stomach was throbbing.

In particular, the short circuit part was thrilling.

I barely raised my groggy body.

…Where else is this?

‘…I must have collapsed in Vigo.’

The magical perforation hole, which had been activated arbitrarily, sucked the energy from the beads the snake spat out. I

think I passed out after all because I couldn’t stand

it because of the enormous energy.

It’s the energy that overflowed. It was a really big deal if the Danjeon was damaged.

Whoop-!

“What…”

I was startled by the heat coming out of my body.

Much hotter and faster.

I wanted to bet the same amount as usual.

The amount of bets that flowed inadvertently was much higher than expected.

3 stars.

Guyeomhwaryungong, who was only staying at the beginning of the 2nd star, went up to the 3rd star.

It wasn’t just 3 stars, it was almost the end.

The amount of internal energy in the body is quite nice.

The amount that could be obtained by steadily practicing the simbeop for 30 years was melted into the body.

‘I thought it was less than the energy I swallowed…’

Thinking of the energy that flowed in at that time, it seemed like there was less to see.

The inside was very clean.

Is there any other energy that is so soft and full of power?

Even though I absorbed so much energy, I couldn’t feel any demonic energy.

Wasn’t it magic stone after all? Also, I thought that the flamethrower had swallowed demonic energy, but it didn’t feel like that.

The energy I felt in the danteon was really surprisingly strong.

The reason I couldn’t go to 4 stars was because my body couldn’t support me yet.

I thought I could quickly rise to 4 stars if I just continued physical training.

What level can you compete with now?

‘It’s impossible for Namgung’s son… Gujeo-yeop must be easy.’

From an objective point of view, it seemed that even Gujeolyeop would be able to preoccupy an equal or higher position in terms of not using seasonality.

The brain dragon is unreasonable.

Even if Namgung’s sword dance is familiar, he still won’t win if it was a real fight using bets.

‘But where is this again?’

I checked that there was nothing wrong with my body and looked around.

I could feel the unique bitter scent of medicinal herbs that I felt a little bit on the shabby-looking furniture.

“young master!”

“Ugh!”

As I was staggering, something pounced on me.

It was a hypocrisy.

“Bocchan, are you okay now?”

“…get out of the way for a moment.”

What is the reason for crushing the patient while asking if he is okay?

Urgently, the stomach was removed.

Fortunately, seeing that he was so strong, he didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere.

So, I asked what to ask first.

“A snake? What happened to Vigo?”

“A snake?”

Wiseol-ah tilts her head as if asking what I was saying.

what? It was such a big snake, but why did it react like this?

I asked Wiseolah again in a strange atmosphere.

“The big snake I saw in Vigo.”

“Yes…?”

“…I do not remember?”

“yes!”

“Since when I can’t remember… No, where do you remember?”

I thought it was strange, so I asked in a different way.

Wiseol-ah rolls her eyes.

It had big eyes, so I could see it moving around.

“From the time I followed the young master!”

“…what?”

Then it’s just everything…?

Was both Vigo and the giant snake actually hallucinations?

‘That’s not right.’

That said, neither the increased inner strength nor the improved martial arts could be explained.

Then, is it also the snake’s fault that Wiseol-ah can’t remember?

‘Why… why?’

It was unknown.

“You really don’t remember anything?”

“Yeah… I woke up and I was sleeping with the young boy on the mountain!”

“What kind of…”

He murmured.

I opened the door on the left and someone came in.

He was a stooped old man with white hair that showed his age.

“What is it, how hot is it here?”

The old man suddenly enters and gets nervous. The hot reason is probably because I turned the bet for a while.

The old man who came in looked at us and said.

“I feel like I woke up.”

“…Who are you?”

“After sleeping for two days, I finally woke up.”

Two days…?

“You mean I slept for two days?”

Considering that I found Vigo in one day, it meant that I had exhausted the time I had exactly planned.

“So, it looks like there is no problem with the body, but I thought I was dead because I kept sleeping.”

“…May I ask where this is?”

“Can’t you see me? You’re a member of the council, so you’re supposed to be a doctor.”

Where on earth should I feel like a member of the council?

A long bent back in shabby clothes that looked far from hospital clothes.

If I had to look at it, should I see the subtle scent of medicinal herbs as evidence?

“Are you feeling okay?”

the old man asked.

“Yes…it’s fine.”

The old man says it’s a medical clinic under the mountain, but how did you get here?

According to Wi Seol-ah, when she woke up, she was lying on the side of the mountain where there was a tree, not Vigo.

So, did the old man find us and bring us here?

The old man quietly brewed the medicine and asked.

“Why were you sleeping on a cliff so dangerously?”

Cliff…

It seems that the terrain has changed to a plain with maple trees standing tall.

Turned into a cliff again? It was full of situations that I couldn’t understand.

First of all, thank you to the old man.

“…Thank you, Noya. Did you save us?”

“It’s a bitch to ask for it, but thank the girl next to you. Your face is sincere, but your strength is strong. I have brought you down from there on my back.”

When I look at Wi Seol-ah at the old man’s horse, Wi Seol-ah puts her hand on my waist and makes a confident expression.

You brought me down from the height of the mountain to here?

“Thank you.”

“yes!”

Same with the stamina that followed me at the gate. Does being born invulnerable mean something like that?

They make fun of her round and round every day with jokes, but after all, Wi Seol-ah was on the thin side.

I live with something in my mouth every day, so I just look relatively round.

What kind of power comes out of that thin arm

…

“Your body seems to be fine now, so let’s go out soon. The room is small, so I can’t keep it for long.”

“…Ah, thanks Noya, I was able to wake up safely from a dangerous situation.”

“Hehe, the young guy is loud once in a while…….”

Even if he looked young, it was not an easy thing to make a stranger sleep for two days.

Wi Seol-ah is chewing on something unknown next to her, and maybe that was also given to her by the old man.

“…what the hell are you eating?”

“Uh huh? Grandpa Cheon gave it to me as a snack!”

Grandpa Thousand?

Wi Seol-ah seems to have already finished with the old man and Tong Seong-myeong.

The old man answers my question instead.

“It’s nothing special, it’s just that it’s not effective. I gave you a few hemp roots that I don’t use. It’s the only thing a village doctor can give you.”

…Three roots? Can hemp root be ineffective?

It’s surprising that they gave it to me, but I’m sure it would be very useful if I sprayed it, but Wi Seol-ah, who casually ate it, was more unusual.

I thought you only liked sweets. It seemed more omnivorous than I thought.

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay, stop apologizing and go home. Your parents will be worried.”

Are your parents worried?

Thinking of his father, he gave up those thoughts.

There was absolutely no such thing as great.

It’s probably not anyone, but Muyeon, who is waiting trembling.

I turned around and said to the old man.

“Since I came out in a hurry, I didn’t bring many things…”

“Huh? The old man who said he had some money did it just because he was bored, so don’t worry too much

…

Fortunately, I seem to have brought this much.

Tuk Tuk Clink!

The old man fell silent as he looked at the silver coins that he hurriedly took out of his bosom and fell to the floor.

It’s roughly the equivalent of two silver coins.

“First of all, this is all I have… I have something to give you…”

The old man took my hand as soon as I was afraid to speak.

The old man’s eyes also look more serious.

What are you trying to say?

After a moment of silence, the old man opened his mouth.

“…sohyeop If you want, you can stay longer. Ah, I can’t believe I served a precious guest and couldn’t bring out a cup of medicinal tea…! Just wait, this Noya herbal tea is pretty well brewed!”

“…”

I was glad that he seemed to like it.

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

The old man almost forcibly refused the tea he was trying to brew and came out.

It was quite embarrassing to keep trying to squeeze something.

Fortunately, it seemed that it was broad daylight, so I could start right away.

The body is much lighter than before, perhaps because of the increase in internal energy.

If I make a bet, I might be able to go to the village I wrote down in the book right away.

“…Isn’t that a bit overkill?”

I thought it would be possible if we split up and run, but I think we should be a bit self-respecting, even if we see Wiseo-ah coming after us.

‘Isn’t it true, wouldn’t Wisul-ah be able to follow?’

I wondered if it would be possible, considering what I had followed in the past, but I wondered if it was possible with a body that had no internal energy.

While I was inactive, I checked inside Wi Seol-ah’s body.

It was still the same.

Because there was not a single handful of bets on Wi Seol-ah’s battle.

Then how?

Wiseol-ah said she had no memory, so I didn’t know what happened after I collapsed.

what was that snake

How could that happen if you came back to the cliff?

What was that grotesque truth?

And… and…

I stopped walking slowly.

The most important thing was that it came to mind.

“…Hey…”

“Yes?”

“Hey Ya Myungju!”

“yes…?”

tremble

There was so much Yamyeongju… I couldn’t bring any of that much.

Thinking about that made me want to sit down and hit the ground right away.

‘…No, since Vigo disappeared anyway, wasn’t it actually something I couldn’t bring back?’

I’m trying to think positively that it’s already too late.

So, what beads did I get…?

“…”

“Brother?”

“…are you okay. I got dizzy for a while.”

Originally, it wasn’t mine… If you think like that, it’s enough, but it wasn’t easy for people to be cunning.

Looking at me like that, Wi Seol-ah smiles.

“young master! Your expression is ugly.”

“What a harsh word that is….”

“But you’ve become really ugly…”

People are disturbed, but to say such harsh things…

.

Then, Wi Seol-ah lightly grabbed my sleeve.

Looking for something, I point to the restaurant I passed by earlier.

I saw that and asked Wi Seol-ah.

“hungry?”

“…When you’re hungry but the young boy’s expression is ugly, you can eat dumplings and you’ll be fine!”

“Ah, I want to eat…”

You

must be hungry in the middle of it.

Looking at the situation, it seemed right to arrive quickly.

What should I really do?

I think it’s possible in my current state.

I was worried while watching Wi Seol-ah, who kept holding on to the sleeves.

“…I have to run, but what should I do with you?”

“yes…? that me! Runs very well…”

“Should I carry it on my back?”

“….ah?”

“what?”

What do you think you just said?

I didn’t seem to hear, so when I asked back, Wiseol-ah sat down.

I was holding onto the hem of my sleeve, and when I sat down, even I was shaken.

“Ahhh!”

And something awkward screamed out.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“My legs hurt! I must be hurt!”

“what…? Then it’s a big deal, shall we go back to the doctor’s room soon?”

“You are in a hurry! You won’t be seriously hurt.”

“So you can walk?”

“….what.”

“….hmm?”

What do you want?

It’s the first time I’ve seen Wi Seol-ah worry so deeply.

After hesitating for a long time, Wiseol-ah whispered in a very low voice.

“Up… Please carry it up.”

As he said that, his ears turned red.

When I saw it, I was surprised without even realizing it.

‘…Does he feel ashamed too?’

I thought I couldn’t feel it…

“Ha ha!”

It was funny, so I burst out laughing.

Wiseol-ah vomits with a ‘profit’ sound.

I slowly lowered my body and gave my back to Wi Seol-ah.

Wi Seol-ah’s hand carefully wrapped around my neck and pressed my body closely.

The warmth that touched her back grabbed Wi Seol-ah’s legs and raised her body.

I made fun of Wi Seol-ah in that state, as if the bad heart was circulating.

“It’s heavy.”

At the words of laughter, Wi Seol-ah immediately screams in surprise.

“It’s not heavy!”

“It’s so heavy… It’s almost like holding a rock.”

“It’s too much…! I want to get off all the time!”

“I’ve already heard that, so that’s not okay.”

when was it

I think this same situation happened once.

It wasn’t as soft as it is now, and it’s something Wi Seol-ah won’t remember.

I remember that time alone.

I will remember it alone in the future.

It wouldn’t be nice to see it happen again.

After carrying Wi Seol-ah on his back and putting on a bet, he kicked the ground.

I jumped faster and higher than I thought, and I was immediately taken aback.

I thought Wi Seol-ah would be excited at the passing wind, but she quietly buried her face in my back.

I thought I could just run to my destination like this.
