Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 44

EP.44 Swordstick. (4)

Geombong (劍鳳) (4)

“I heard that the thunder dragon’s arm was broken.”

As soon as I came to the room, my father spat out.

Even the greeting, “It’s been a while,” was said without asking about the current situation.

‘…That’s why I’m asking.’

He was originally like this, but he’s really the same.

What should I say? Should I say it as it is?

“No, I didn’t crush it, just slightly break it…”

The only thing that came out after worrying so much was this.

Actually, I didn’t want to say the same thing, but I felt like I had to spit something out.

Fortunately, from what I said, my father didn’t seem to care too much.

“Why did you do that?”

Because that was what mattered.

You must have heard it all already, but asking again means you want to hear it directly from me.

I took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“When the thunder dragon performed a sword dance on me first, I accepted it because I recommended it. And then I retaliated as much as I mixed the vinegar.”

It’s a very simple explanation, but in reality that was all.

I kept flirting, so I mixed up the provocation, but the guy who crossed over was wrong.

“The thunder dragon mixed vinegar?”

“Yes, I decided not to use my strength, but the wooden sword contained a bet. I felt alive.”

“A witness.”

“There were a lot of people around.”

The person who felt it properly was about Sogaju?

Dang So-yeol was also there, but after it was over, I couldn’t believe it because his face looked somewhat dazed.

My father nodded at my answer.

“That was enough.”

He’s a very straightforward person at all times.

Even though my son had defeated the brain dragon, this was the only reaction.

I’ve rarely seen a father shake like this.

Whether it’s when a child becomes a demon or when bloodlines die one by one, even more so when the person himself dies.

As I stood still, enduring the heavy atmosphere, my father said something out of the blue.

“It seems that there has been an achievement.”

“…yes?”

This is what my father once said to Gu Yeon-seo at a dinner table.

Ironically, I was listening to that this time.

Even though he had risen to 3 stars all of a sudden, his father didn’t seem particularly concerned.

It’s really too bland.

“Feel so good.”

“…thank you.”

I tried to calm the corners of my mouth that were trying to rise even at trivial words.

How old are you and receiving a compliment and liking it

…

Have you ever heard a compliment? probably didn’t

That’s why it’s so easy to get wet with useless sentiments.

My father simply took the context and said nothing more.

Don’t you think I’m lying?

I folded the book I was looking at and took out another business.

“If there had been friction with the male palace, I would have met your fiancée, who was there at the same time.”

“….”

The thing to come is here….

Ah… the fiancée.

Why is that word so creepy?

After swallowing his own saliva, Koi hid his trembling voice and asked his father.

“May I ask what your English is?”

“What do you mean?”

“The engagement with Namgung. I would like to know how it went.”

No matter how you think about it, it was so out of the blue.

Of course, it’s something that never happened in a previous life, let alone a male palace?

Leaving my embarrassment behind, my father spat lightly.

“It was decided by the elders. It won’t be bad for you either.”

“…”

No, damn it….

What the hell happened to make it sound like an engagement with Via Namgung?

As I was rolling my head hard, I heard my father’s voice.

“Even if breaking up the engagement with Panga was inevitable, I don’t think you will ruin this until now.”

Did he notice that I wasn’t happy with my engagement?

I could see from my father’s words that there was a hidden saying that he wouldn’t look at me twice.

At this point, there was nothing I could say right away.

First, I had to keep my mouth shut.

Sarak.

The sound of calligraphy blooming and folding resonates quietly in the room.

I stood still and waited for the next word.

The reason my father didn’t tell me to leave was that he still had business to do.

Knock knock.

It’s the sound of tapping on the table with your ring finger.

A habit that comes out naturally when there is something troubling.

Seeing my father like that, I frowned.

Habits like me. what i look like

Every time like this, I felt a little dizzy because I realized that I was my father’s son after all.

“In a little while, it is the center of summer.”

I came to my senses at my father’s words.

what is this all of a sudden

“Yes, it is summer.”

I could feel it getting hotter and hotter.

But why are you saying that all of a sudden?

Is it summer…?

“In a little while, a shoe-making war will begin at the volcano.”

My heart sank at my father’s words.

The word volcano made me suffocate.

This is because the volcano that burned and disappeared in the previous life came to mind.

‘…don’t think of it.’

He calmed his beating heart and took a deep breath.

My father looked at me and asked.

“What’s going on?”

“…no. What do you mean by that?”

My father did not answer my words and handed me the letter he was holding.

I carefully received the letter and unfolded it.

And I couldn’t help but frown when I saw the written words.

I immediately asked my father.

“…why are you giving this to me?”

“Bring it.”

“Why me…?”

“Because I have to.”

What nonsense is this?

I asked my father again without loosening his frown.

“You know I just came from Sacheon, right?”

“I’ll let you leave in a week or so.”

“I don’t see any option to refuse…?”

What kind of dog is it to tell people to go far away as soon as they come from Sacheon?

I wondered if he had at least eaten the heat, but the heat of a martial artist who learns chemistry is a bummer…

‘Has there been a change of heart?’

Kuga doesn’t let his blood relatives go outside recklessly.

Goo Hee-bi had so much talent that she had no choice but to stand out.

I was different.

Although it is said that it is not uncommon for Sega children to travel to experience the world.

I’m still young and I haven’t become a sogaju, but I’m not sure about the intention to send it out easily.

Even more so, if I go out, the higher up will not like it.

So my father was looking at the same idea, but he asked me to go to that far away place?

“My lord, it’s a bit much to go all the way to the volcano…”

“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to go.”

“yes? Oh, then I’m not going…”

“If you go instead, I’ll open the remarks and give you Taeseondan.”

“…of course I, the son, have to go. Shall we go right now?”

As the elixir popped out, I unknowingly nailed the answer.

…was it too snobbish?

My heart hurt a little at the sight of my father’s slightly frowning eyes.

However, Taeseondan is unavoidable.

If you take the elixir that is right under the summoning table of Shaolin and absorb it properly, it is an elixir that can give you 20 years worth of internal energy.

That would mean that he would really open Gu Family’s remarks and give it to them.

Thanks to Ki-yeon, my internal energy has obviously increased a lot, but this is compared to the past when I only had rat poop, and as a result, it wasn’t much.

In the end, the body is the body, but the inner strength is still the same.

“…Can I come back in a week?”

I thought that a week could be a little lacking because I had things to take care of.

“Do you need more time?”

“Can’t we go in ten days?”

At my words, my father nodded as if to say so.

And again, I move my gaze to the seochal.

Why is there so much to read?

‘Ten days.’

Fortunately, permission was obtained.

If this happens, it will be painful to leave the long way again as soon as ten days arrive in Shanxi, but it is worth it if it is Taeseondan.

It was strange that my father even brought out Taeseondan for this kind of thing.

I’m not one to spit out empty words, so I won’t lie, but is this important enough to bring out Taeseondan?

As I stood still, my father pointed toward the door with his hand.

“The business is over. Go rest.”

“yes.”

I had more, but I felt burdened and wanted to go.

If this was the case, I had to visit Haomen within a few days, and since I had to do training as well, I had to move a little busily.

‘It’s a volcano.’

Plum blossoms that bloomed splendidly in full bloom are staying in a corner of my memory.

The image of it all burning also remained in my memory.

Even so, can I dare to set foot on a volcano?

‘Don’t think.’

It wasn’t good.

Once you start thinking like this, there is no end.

that won’t happen anymore

As always, I had to do it alone.

‘All I have to do is finish the work I was told to do.’

Just think of what you did to me.

I closed the door to my room and thought about what my father had asked me to do.

It meant bringing the youngest from the volcano.

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

Returning to the residence, Elder Lee and Hee-bi Gu had already left.

It made such a fuss as soon as it arrived, but when it came back, it was gone.

Of course, I’m glad I’m back in a peaceful place.

Heading to the room to change clothes, I see Geomzone holding a broom in the distance.

Geomjon also carefully takes an example to see if he has found me.

…It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, but seeing a swordsman like that is always burdensome.

“Heeing…”‘

…huh?’

I heard a familiar cry, so I moved my gaze to the back of the swordsman, and I saw Wiseol-ah on her knees, raising her arms and standing in punishment.

It resembles my appearance in front of Goo Hee-bi from earlier, when I was preparing myself according to my instincts.

“Why is he doing that again…?”

Sadly, tears flow from both eyes.

Even so, the swordsman was working silently without paying attention to the crying Wiseol-ah.

I wondered why he was doing that, but I immediately remembered.

Ah, he secretly followed Sacheon.

It seemed that he was caught and scolded as soon as he came back because he had been away without speaking for a month.

“I’m a bastard…”

As I was trying to pass by quietly, I met eyes with Wi Seol-ah.

Wi Seol-ah looked at me with eyes asking for help, but she couldn’t help it.

‘…Running away was a bit harsh.’

It’s a situation where you can’t even save it, but the person who scolds you is the swordsman…?

Rescuing this was a bit of a chore.

“…It’s cold at night, so dress appropriately and go in.”

That’s what I said to Geomson. I felt like I had to say something.

Geomjon also responded with a kind smile.

“Yes, thank you for your concern, Bocchan.”

“…no what.”

It’s summer, but it’s cold.

Wi Seol-ah made a shocked expression at my excuse that didn’t work.

“I’m sorry…!”

“Ugh! Who raises his voice while being punished!”

Swordsman’s Screaming Weissling whimpers like a puppy.

sorry.

but this can’t be helped It’s what you chose, so handle

it hard.

Outside, Wiseol-ah sadly called me again, but I tried my best to cover my ears as if I hadn’t heard.

First of all, I was tired and wanted to lie down.

From broad daylight, I was too exhausted with things like engagements, volcanoes, and goosebumps.

Night will come in a little while, so it will be okay to fall asleep early.

As I laid my tired head on the floor and rested for a while, I felt a presence outside.

“I am Hongwa, the servant of the young master.”

“what’s the matter?”

“I came to ask what to do for dinner.”

“…Ah, I don’t have much appetite, so I won’t eat it.”

The attendant said he would understand my words and disappeared.

I wanted to grab some dumplings, but I really had no appetite.

Now I just wanted to sleep.

It’s okay to practice on a moonlit night so that you won’t eat something after waking up later.

After sending the servants and lying down like that, I had to regret it right away because I couldn’t even see it for half an hour.

I was sleeping well because someone swiped open my door and shouted.

“Brother! You’re not going to eat dinner!?”

It was Goo Hee-bi with dumplings in her hand.
