Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 399
About half an hour has passed since the incident happened. I was examining the situation with my forehead covered.
First, I check the faces of the women sitting on my bed.
From the far left, a woman with brown hair mixed with gold.
It’s embarrassing.
I asked looking at her.
“what?”
“yes?”
When I ask what to say, Wi Seol-ah flinches and responds.
I looked at his face and saw that his eyes were shaking like crazy.
Looking into Wiseolah’s eyes, I ask.
“Why are you here?”
“…That’s that…”
Wiseol-ah glanced to the side at my question. Next to him was Namgoongbia, who was still dozing and staggering as if he hadn’t woken up yet.
What is that look
As I watch it still, Wiseol-ah continues to speak as if mumbling.
“…My older sister told me to go… I followed her.”
“…”
I looked at Namgoongbia at Wiseolah’s words.
Namgoongbia muttered as she rubbed her eyes, perhaps recognizing my gaze.
“…I’m not… coming…”
“What does it have to do with not coming and you coming to my room…?”
“…huh?”
At my words, Namgoongbia looked at me as if it had nothing to do with it.
what are those eyes
Bia Namgoong, sleeping in my bed from time to time is not a habit, but a habit.
It was the same that Wiseol-ah, who had followed that, did not understand.
“Why did you follow me?”
“…he said he was going… just…” Upon
hearing the question, Wi Seol-ah tried to avoid her gaze and reddened her ears.
Seeing that, I had to let out a deep sigh.
“…Are you starting to look like him too? Why do you listen to someone else’s bed to sleep?”
“I’m sorry…”
“You… are done.”
I was going to say something to Namgoongbia, but I just skipped it.
Because he wasn’t the one listening.
It made sense, but instead, he clenched his fist and slapped his forehead with a thump.
“I’m sorry…!”
At this, Namgoongbia gave a short scream and covered her forehead.
Soon after, the look on his face looking up at me was a mixture of drowsiness and resentment.
“You opened your eyes like that because you did well.”
“…”
“Did you take my blanket the other day?”
“…!”
Namgoongbia’s eyes widened after hearing the words.
Did you think you didn’t know?
To have taken it secretly, he took it quite openly.
“Why do you keep stealing other people’s bedding?”
“Because it’s not enough…”
“What’s missing. a pillow? Or a quilt? No, you can ask for it if you don’t have it. Why take it and take it?”
Namgung is not a place without money. He didn’t know why he was struggling to sleep alone.
Namgoongbia’s gaze narrows as if she doesn’t like what I’m saying.
“…it’s not like…”
“or not?”
“…It’s okay…”
I started to avoid answering if I was angry.
In the middle of it, she’s complaining about what she did well…
Leaving Namgoongbia like that, I looked at the last person sitting to her right.
It was a woman with light green hair who was staring at her with prickly eyes.
It was Dang So-yeol who had dinner together last night.
“…Hey.”
Dangsoyeol trembles in my voice.
He seemed to intuitively know that he was talking to himself.
“Wouldn’t it be like that when you normally enter someone else’s room?”
It was about what Dang So-yeol had burst through the door just before.
Ordinarily, knock on the door before entering.
Or he’ll say if he can come in and come in.
I never thought you would open my room and come in.
Upon hearing this, Dang So-yeol looked at me quietly, turned his head around, and suddenly began to inflate his cheeks.
It was like a squirrel with a mouth full of acorns.
No, why are you all making faces like that?
what did i do wrong
“What about that expression…”
“Honestly, I was wrong too…” Just
as he was about to ask why, Dang So-yeol closes his eyes tightly and spits out the words.
“This is all Gongja-nim’s fault!”
“…what?”
I was taken aback by that cry and looked at Dang Soyeol.
Wi Seol-ah and Namgung-bia, who were next to them, nodded their heads in sympathy with Dang So-yeol’s words.
“What did I do wrong…?”
Are you embarrassed?
All I did today was wander around all day, and then I came to my room to get some clothes.
It’s my fault in the first place.
Looking at Dang So-yeol with absurd eyes, the three jumped up at the same time as if they had promised.
Slightly surprised by the action, he stepped back.
Then three women stomped toward my door.
Are you thinking of going this way?
Even though I can feel the feeling that I don’t like something as I walk.
I felt like it would be better to leave it as it is.
If I leave it as it is, it’s nothing else, because it seemed like my spirit would be sucked up.
The moment I tried to send the kids away without stopping them.
“…for a moment.”
I grabbed and stopped Namgoongbia, who was about to leave.
Bia Namgoong, held in my hand, looks at me with an expectant look on her face.
I don’t know what she expects.
…Perhaps the words that will come out of my mouth will not be what she expects.
“…Will you ask the head of Namgung when we can visit him?”
When I told her about Namgoongjin, I could see Namgoongbia’s beautiful brow furrowed.
It wasn’t something to ask right now, but since I was in a position where I had to practice in the future, I had to ask when I could see it.
‘I can’t just skip it.’
To be honest, it would be nice if I just let it go, but due to Namgung-jin’s personality, that won’t be the case.
It looks like he’ll stick around and try to get at least one lesson from you.
In the current situation, there was an excuse to use.
I thought it would be better to meet and solve it in advance.
Thinking so, he asked Namgoongbia for words.
After hearing this, Bia Namgoong said this to me without a frown between her brows.
“…my father…is gone.”
“what?”
Hearing Namgoongbia’s words, he paused for a moment.
Did you leave…? Where?
Suddenly, where did the old man go?
I put on a strange expression and asked Namgoongbia back.
Namgoongbia gives the right answer this time.
“…Anhui.”
It is said that Namgungjin went back to Anhui, where he was born.
******************
After the talk.
After sending the kids off, I asked the attendant to change my clothes and headed to the cave.
After that, as usual, he started arguing with the cave while casting Tuapa Perforation.
My head was full of tidying up about work.
‘Namgungjin returned to Hanam.’
Just before that, Namgoongbia definitely said that.
The first thing that crossed my mind after hearing that was the question ‘why?’
It’s going back. It can be. It’s not unusual for the Namgung family’s family head to return to their own house.
However, it was somewhat questionable that Namgung-jin, who so much wanted to improve his martial arts, went without seeking any enlightenment from me.
Of course, from my point of view, it’s good that you went without asking me anything… but…
‘…I didn’t have anything to tell you right now.’
At first, I borrowed Shin Noya’s words to tell me.
The second time, I brought the information I had heard from the demon swordswoman in my previous life and gave it to him.
As of now, I have nothing to say to him.
So the fact that Namgoong-jin is gone now is not a bad part for me.
The part that Namgung-jin went to Ha-nam in such a hurry was somewhat disturbing.
‘What’s going on at Namgung’s house?’
Otherwise, I don’t think I’ll be leaving this far.
I’m trying to remember what happened to the Namgung family during this time.
Nothing came to mind right now.
Kwaaddeuk-
He agonizes as he smashes the wall of the cave.
There was one reason why they reacted so sensitively to Namgung-jin’s departure.
I wondered if I might have changed something.
That part is on my mind and I’m thinking about it like this.
‘It’s not just Namgung-jin.’
It’s not just one or two things that have changed right now.
It was also the case that a fallen sword descended with the attack on Shinryonggwan and a new leader ascended.
If you were the leader after the fallen sword, you should have become a weakling.
That time was well ahead of schedule by ten years.
It’s also because of the bad aftermath.
‘If this happens, who will be the next leader?’
I couldn’t tell.
If you are going to run, let alone the old school and the four generations.
Just like Falling Sword, there must be many candidates for warriors from famous families.
It was a situation where expectations had changed so much that it was difficult to grasp the situation.
‘It’s dizzy, really.’
I’m rolling around trying to work hard in my own way.
It was still lacking in this area.
Are you doing well?
He spurred on training saying he would do anything.
He knew very well that that alone was not enough.
‘There…. Changes are the same as in the original family.’
Numerous changes could not be avoided even by Kuga.
A problem that arose when I punished the previous generation Iljang-ro.
The change and reform of Guseonmun was the problem.
I heard that Gu Seonmunju was currently in charge of Ilgeomdaeju by proxy.
He’s from there too, so he’ll do well, but…
‘Come to think of it. Where did the sword master go?’
I heard that the Ilgeomdaeju came with him to Hanam this time as he was his father’s escort.
I’ve never seen a swordsman.
‘Am I doing something else?’
It’s very likely, but it’s also not certain.
‘He didn’t even come.’
My escort, Mu-yeon, who I thought would have come with me, said that he was absent from the trip to Hanam.
Looking at this, I could feel the intention of Guseonmun to manage Muyeon.
Moo-yeon’s extraordinary talent must have been recognized when he reached his peak.
Some of them are from Guseonmun, so I think it is to properly raise Muyeon.
‘Are you planning to use it as a rumor mill?’
If I recall the intention, that was all for now.
Gujeo-yeop’s expression turned dark for a while, as if he had the same thoughts as me after hearing this.
Looking at that, all I could say was that if you don’t want to be pushed back, die and work hard.
Here, if Muyeon really settles down completely on the side of Guseonmun…
‘It could be okay.’
From my point of view, I didn’t think that was bad.
It was because there was something I realized clearly right after I met the Heavenly Demon.
‘I need power.’
It is not the power of a single body, but the power appropriate to it is needed.
No matter how I look at it, I realized that it would be difficult to deal with the enemy with my own strength.
It’s a part that I knew originally, but should I say it became more certain from then on.
If I really want to take the place of the new sword.
In line with that, my forces are also needed.
So, if Muyeon takes a seat on the side of Guseonmun here.
I was thinking of using a little more power to completely seize power.
At first, I thought about joining a specific group like the Moorim League.
‘There’s no place I can trust.’
There was really no group that could be trusted.
Looking at it like this, I could feel that the midfield was rotten.
So rather than thinking about entering an unbelievable place.
‘…I make it.’
I decided that it would be better for me to gather people and make something myself.
That’s why the nickname ‘Soyeomra’ is so fucked up.
Even if I bite my teeth at the rumors that are spreading in line with this.
That was the reason why he put up with it thinking about the fame that would follow.
Not only this.
The number of people to be absorbed or included was also organized one by one in advance.
If there is anything that takes a little bit in this part.
‘If…if I gather all the people I’m thinking of into one place.’
Have them in midfield.
There was no possibility of being called a political faction at all.
