Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 536

“… Do you mean to take down the signboard in the house?”

“haha.”

I meant it from the bottom of my heart, but Dokwang burst out laughing as if something was funny.

“Even if you come down from a position where there is only honor, your family will not be ruined.”

“Isn’t it a land full of people who live and die in honor?”

“That too. So did I.”

Originally, the uninitiated were like that.

The reason for increasing strength is the life of the majority of those who are honored.

There were many people whose life’s dream was to earn a name value.

That’s why they live and die in one star.

I don’t see it as a bad thing.

What does other people’s lives have to do with it?

It just meant there were a lot of them.

Damn you in a place like that.

“Do you have any reason to give up your honor?”

Is there any reason why the king of poison should do that?

I can’t even hear what he’s saying.

“Old Confucius.”

“yes.”

“Do you know how to fix an old tree with rotten roots?”

look at the eyes

The mouth was warmed up.

It was because he had nothing to say when he met the poison king’s gaze.

he has already chosen

“Plucking up the roots and replanting the seeds.”

“… So, are you saying you’re going to tear it down and start all over again?”

“That’s right, isn’t it the root? haha.”

If it is said that the party conducted a human experiment and even kidnapped for it.

Not only the root, but also the position of the four generations, and it could be stigmatized as not being a political faction.

In the first place, the party was from Sapa, so that would be easier.

Would you do it even though you knew all about it?

why.

“You are ashamed.”

“… Are you ashamed?”

“I can’t stand it because I’m embarrassed. old Confucius. sorry for the kids This is what you have to do.”

Is it because I don’t have a conscience, or is it because those feelings are already dry?

I don’t know.

I couldn’t accept his beliefs.

at that time.

“Thank you.”

The poison king suddenly thanked me.

Hearing that, I widened my eyes.

“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Why are you suddenly thanking me?

“I know that Confucius is so angry because of my daughter.”

“…!”

My heart sank at the poison king’s words.

It was because I realized something I didn’t know.

Was that the reason why I was feeling cramped at the words of the king of poison?

I had a vague idea of ​​what Dang So-yeol would go through when the party gate collapsed.

‘That’s why I was so annoyed.’

The reason seems to have been this.

It was a fact I didn’t know.

“I feel sorry for your son and daughter. My choice is this.”

“… The head of the party.”

“I will be embarrassed a lot in the future, but I think it will be less embarrassing this way. I have not abandoned my honor. Rather, it is to protect my honor.”

So say no more.

The poison king was telling me that.

So I shut up.

It was because there were no words I could say with confidence.

It always has been.

With firm convictions, humans who go on a path that they do not have to go have made people’s mouths close like that.

When you slightly avert your gaze.

The poison king told me calmly.

“I’m not afraid, but please take good care of my daughter. Old Confucius.”

What does a request mean?

Does it mean to ask for help if the party gate collapses?

I don’t know if it means anything else.

There was only one answer I could give now.

“… Don’t worry.”

I don’t know anything else. This is as sincere as it is.

Upon hearing the answer, the poison king nodded with a smile and spoke to me.

“okay. That was enough.”

The king of poison quietly spoke to me.

Didn’t comment on him at all.

Again, from that tone, I could feel that he finally acknowledged me.

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

I walked out of the poison king’s residence.

I couldn’t hold on to the nobleman who had a schedule ahead, so it was time for me to do my job.

‘I’ll have to make a schedule soon too.’

The big schedules have been sorted out.

Right now, I wasn’t sure what to do next.

‘I have to go home first.’

return to the old house

I had to do that first.

‘… In my heart, I want to go somewhere other than home.’

Including the caves hidden in Guangdong where the 10,000 years are accumulated.

It was the point where I had to eat and go, one by one.

‘It’s impossible to do that right away.’

There was a lot of work to be done before eating Giyeon.

Same with God’s promise.

The same was true of the jewels to be used on Nahi.

If not, the most important thing here.

‘I need strength.’

Time to practice seriously.

That was when it was most needed.

‘… Still not enough.’

Not only did he touch the hwagyeong, but he also gained increased power by becoming a dragon.

Still, it was lacking.

In addition to dealing with the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon, there was not enough power to create personal power.

Not only did it not respond to the dark king’s movements yet, but it was far from reaching those who climbed high.

There.

‘It has to go up in the composition.’

Along with practicing Tuapa Cheonmu, Guyeomhwarungong also had to reach Guseong.

That’s how my father said he would tell me about my mother.

It takes time to build strength.

And the circumstances in which it can be done.

“… Probably, there will be none other than now.”

Fortunately, now was the worst time.

In just a few more years, a series of incidents will unfold.

Even if it excludes the things I twisted.

In order to handle the big things that will happen in the future, I had to develop my strength.

‘There is a limit to what can be obtained through chance now.’

The bets are not enough, they overflow.

Since the body was in such a well-formed state, what he had to do in the end was to train himself.

yes, let’s do it

You have to do it when you have to.

If I had to return to Sega for a while anyway, now was the time to strengthen my strength.

With that in mind, come back to the dorm.

“hmm?”

I saw my father, who had not been seen all night, standing in the yard.

And being together… .

‘Isn’t that a prejudice?’

I wonder what she was doing, and she was holding my clothes in her hand.

what… ?

When I come in, the eyes of the two are directed in this direction.

“Ah, Gongja.”

“What are you doing?”

“… that… .”

In response to my question, Wi Seol-ah hid the clothes she was holding behind her back and continued talking hesitantly.

“… Do some laundry… I was doing it.”

“Wash… ? what? Could it be that?”

“yes… .”

When I point to the clothes with my hand, they say that’s right.

You were washing my clothes?

“… why?”

why are you wearing my clothes?

When I asked with that intention, Wi Seol-ah’s face turned red.

His skin was so white that it stood out in particular.

“Oh, it’s been a while… . I remember for a moment… . Stop without me noticing.”

At the words with a shy smile, I had to unknowingly hold my forehead.

Does it mean that he washed his clothes without realizing it? Do you want to know what kind of nonsensical instinct that is?

When I tried to find the cause, my stomach felt particularly bitter.

‘… This must be my fault.’

Is it because of bringing Wi Seol-ah as an attendant?

There seemed to be some strange behavior left.

‘… Come to think of it, it seems like there have been a lot of laundry done lately.’

The room was cleaned after coming and going after training.

I thought it smelled good for some reason.

“you… . Could it be that you did some cleaning without my knowledge?”

“…!”

I can see Wi Seol-ah startled and blushing at the question asked just in case.

I wondered if the servant of the party would do it. Isn’t that what Wiseol-ah did?

“Why are you doing that?”

“… that just… . I have some left… .”

“If you’re going to do it, don’t even say it. It’s not even a whimper.”

The important thing is, why are you doing this secretly?

Wi Seol-ah lowered her head at the absurd remark.

“sorry… .”

I don’t know if sneaking in would be a problem.

At least from my point of view, I thought it was not something she would apologize to me for.

“I’m not sorry. that’s what i have to say just… If you’ve done something to be thankful for, tell me. That’s why you say thank you.”

I laughed at Wi Seol-ah’s reaction and tried to stroke her hair.

I had to stop my hand when I realized that my father was by my side.

In response, Wi Seol-ah looked at my hand and looked at me with regret.

I barely ignored it and asked my father.

“You want to go?”

My father’s eyebrows move slightly at my question.

“How did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“That means I’m going.”

“… That’s it. what.”

That’s how it felt.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been looking at my father often these days, and I could tell that the feeling was slightly different.

“It just seemed like it would.”

“… hmm.”

“By the way, what were you talking about?”

“It wasn’t much of a story.”

I meant not to say anything.

I looked at Wiseo-ah right away.

“… grunt… .”

Even Wiseol-ah averts her gaze as if ignoring my words.

what… ? make people anxious.

I wanted to ask more questions, but I decided to hold back.

“… what’s going on with that Are you sure you want to go now?”

“Since the quest is over, there is no reason to stay any longer.”

That must mean that the poison king’s request has been completed.

This was the same as meaning that the elders were all dealt with overnight.

“Then, would you rather go with me? Even if I can’t, I’ll go tomorrow.”

After spitting out the words, I had to be surprised inside.

Originally, I should have cheered when I said I was going.

I never thought I would ask my father to go with me.

It was embarrassing.

My father was also surprised by this, and he raised his eyes, which is rare.

“no… . It’s just that… I tried. I have to go anyway.”

He stretched out his words as if making excuses. It felt like I had to say something like that.

Hearing this, my father tells me.

“It’s impossible.”

It was a refusal.

“As expected.”

I’m a little embarrassed and scratching the back of my head.

“If it was original, it would have been okay.”

My father began to add explanations that were out of place.

“If you’re late, you’ll get very angry.”

“Who is it?”

“…”

He didn’t answer, but looking into his eyes, he seemed to be in a lot of trouble.

in the meantime.

-Three days… it’s been a while.

The same words sounded small. What do you mean?

Anyway, that means we can’t go together.

“… Then, there is nothing you can do. See you at Sega… ?”

Around the time I wanted to give up lightly and say hello.

My father held out something in front of his eyes.

It was a hand.

Big father’s hand.

“…?”

I look at my father wondering what this is doing, but he just stares at me.

Since we were having a snowball fight like that, my father finally told me.

“Catch it.”

“ah.”

It was only after hearing those words that he was able to understand his father’s intentions.

He immediately took his father’s hand.

The size of my hands were so different that my hands were wrapped around my father’s.

Come to think of it.

‘Is this your first time?’

It’s probably the first time I’ve held hands with my father like this.

I don’t remember ever holding it like this.

A few seconds at most. After a short time of sentiment and nothing, the hand that was shaking hands quickly let go.

“I will go first. Please come back carefully.”

“… yes?”

I had to stop and listen to my father.

What, weren’t you trying to check something?

Of course you thought so?

“Father… ?”

Pot-!

Soon, I tried to call my father, but my father disappeared in front of my eyes.

“… Are you really going like this?”

Just shake hands and disappear?

It’s ridiculous. They appear and disappear without incident.

My father was still a difficult figure.

“haha.”

Saying so, he looked at his hand.

My father’s hand was hotter than I thought.

I wonder if it’s the influence of the chemical industry.

I laughed out loud.

What remains after that is warmth and indescribable emotions.

Tuk-tuk.

I roughly brushed my hands off and looked at Wi Seol-ah.

Wi Seol-ah was looking at me with her characteristic big eyes.

For some reason, it feels like the corners of my eyes are smiling.

That’s pretty, but what to say… .

‘That’s nasty.’

So, I tousled my hair.

“Ugh!”

It was Wi Seol-ah’s cute scream that I hadn’t heard in a long time.

“Go, Gongja-nim, wait a minute… !”

“Who is looking at you like that?”

After trying hard to style her fine hair a few times, Wi Seol-ah wrinkled her nose.

When I saw that, I got my hands back. I knew I would vomit if I did more.

After stepping back a bit, he looked at Wi Seol-ah and said.

“let’s go eat. I am hungry.”

“yes.”

It feels like eating after a long time.

Fortunately, even Wi Seol-ah seemed to like it.

then.

“If possible, I should call the children as well. It would be nice to eat together.”

“… yes.”

… don’t you like that?

Something darkened my face.

‘It must be an illusion.’

There is no way Wi Seol-ah hates rice.

He shook his head and moved on.

The meal time we had in a long time was not that long.

It was because the situation of the party was such that it was not possible to spend it splendidly or brightly.

In particular, Dang So-yeol’s face looked especially dark throughout the meal.

‘It was dead… .’

Possibly the poisonous king must have been hiding what happened at the gate.

It would not have been possible to hide everything, and it seemed that Dang So-yeol knew this.

To be honest, I thought that Dang So-yeol would have found out sooner or later.

I thought I couldn’t leave it alone, so it was the part where I was forced to sit down.

It is said that Namgoong Biana and Wi Seol-ah stick close to Dang So-yeol and take care of her.

That won’t solve everything.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face.

It was a time well worth it.

“So, what were you going to do?”

“What?”

I ate a decent meal and walked on a quiet trail and asked Mo Yong-hee.

There was also a place with the same direction. Because she happened to have a question of her own.

“You knew that the poison king made that decision.”

“I knew.”

In response, Mo Yong-hee was calm.

So I was rather curious.

“how did you know?”

“hmm? Didn’t the old Confucius know?”

“I didn’t know. That’s why I’m asking you now.”

How could I have dared to predict?

I would have thought that the family owner would have shown such an action to ruin his family.

Regarding such a question, Mo Yong-hee said while sweeping her hair with seomseomoksu.

“I wasn’t too sure. It was just expected.”

“But did you run away like that?”

Mo Yong-hee moved quickly as if she noticed something.

But I wasn’t sure.

Mo Yong-hee also blushed a little, as if she was a bit ashamed of herself for moving like that.

“… Not sure, but there was a chance.”

“What odds.”

“The probability that the head of the party will choose righteousness.”

“…”

I had to be a little taken aback by Mo Yong-hee’s words.

“I put a number of cases. There were any number of better ways given the situation at the time, but in the end, that was the only way the head of the party could see the end of his actions.”

Better way.

This is from Mo Yong-hee’s point of view.

Although it is not possible to hide all the secrets of the story, it had to be adjusted so that the story did not leak out to some extent.

Before beheading the elders who did the deed, I had to give myself time to absorb and control all of their forces.

That’s how Mo Yong-hee sees it… .

No, it must have been the best way for me and Mo Yong-hee.

But the King of Dogs didn’t.

What did you say the reason was?

‘Because I’m embarrassed.’

As a soldier, as a family head.

Also, as a member of the political party, he was embarrassed.

So did you say it couldn’t be?

It was incomprehensible.

‘It’s a difficult job.’

Some would call this an incompetent choice.

In addition, you may hear that it is a stupid choice.

I couldn’t hear anything.

The reason was no different.

‘신념(faith).’

It was because he judged that it was the belief of the single king.

Not for me… No, something you can’t do.

To the poison king, who had spit out the words confidently that it was right, it was wrong and could not be refuted after all.

It was because I did not have the faith to believe and act like the poison king.

hani.
