Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 54

EP.54 Maehwa Sword Dragon. (4)

Maehwa Geomryong (梅花劍龍) (4)

The gaze stings.

I don’t know why, but the eyes of the writers who suddenly stared at me were quite fierce.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Shinhyun and Youngpoong, who were in front of him, flinched at the same time as he slightly raised his hand to scratch his cheek.

‘What? Why are you scared?’

what is this doing now?

“…Kuhm.”

Shinhyun coughed as I looked at him with an absurd look.

“…why are you doing this?”

“No, that…”

“…What can I say about this?”

What are those reactions?

The warriors of the volcano had been staring at each other for a while, but now they couldn’t meet their eyes and turned their heads away.

And then they whisper among themselves.

“…I thought they looked alike somehow.”

“The eyes look especially similar, don’t they?”

“Looking at it this way, you look a lot like your sister-in-law.”

“That’s why it’s harder to see each other…”

A whisper is heard in my ears.

It seems that they are talking among themselves, but in this situation, it suddenly becomes like this?

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Hold on, I asked.

It’s not very well received if you keep talking like this in front of people.

I spit it out in a displeased voice, and only then did Shinhyun speak to me as if he was trying to deal with it.

“…It’s because everyone was taken aback when they heard that Confucius was a member of a nine family.”

The title suddenly changed from Sohyeop to Confucius.

What does it have to do with me being a blood relative of the Gu family?

“Because the old Confucius’ sister is a bit famous in our side…”

“You mean my sister?”

At Shinhyun’s words, he pondered over his thoughts.

To be honest, I didn’t know much about my sister around this time.

It’s just that since I was young, I was away from Sega and belonged to the Volcano faction.

So, unlike the two older sisters who were tied to the family, I didn’t have a lot of contact with my younger brother.

Looking back now, it was strange that the direct descendant of the head of a prestigious family could enter as a member of another clan.

I hadn’t thought about that part at the time.

It wasn’t until later that my younger brother became so famous that I couldn’t help but know.

A little sister who returns to Sega only once every few years and only for a few days.

If you look at the time zone now, there was nothing to know except that.

“…why is she?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out, so I asked Shin Hyun.

“…greatness.”

Shinhyun opened and closed his mouth as if he couldn’t bear to answer.

What’s the problem, why are you so hesitant?

“There is something I really want to ask you.”

While Shinhyun was doing this, Youngpoong intervened.

“What is it?”

“…was the former Sohyup accident felt like that from the beginning?”

accident?

Shin-hyeon in the front is the second-generation disciple, and Yeong-pung is the third-generation disciple, judging by the fact that he calls him Sa-suk.

Of course, my younger brother must be two years younger than Yeongpoong, so I wondered if he had the same qualifications.

Why did you buy the name?

“…what kind of small thing is that?”

“No, that’s why… that.”

Youngpoong, who had been dazed for a while, closed his eyes tightly and asked.

“The old accident was originally a male…”

Youngpoong mustered up the courage to shout, but he couldn’t hear it until the end.

It was because Shinhyun hit Youngpoong’s lips with the palm of his hand.

“Keep it…!!”

Shinhyeon kicked Yeongpoong, who rolled backwards while clenching his lips, and sent them back one more time.

Then, the warriors of the Volcano Squad from behind began stepping on them at random, as if they were waiting for Yeongpoong.

Youngpoong screams at the unstoppable kicking.

“Ah… ah! Teachers wait a minute…!”

“Aren’t you really crazy?”

“I really want to say this, hey! Who’s up against him! Who is in charge of the three generations? What did you teach him like this!”

“That’s you, you bastard!”

“Aagh!”

“…”

I was speechless at the brutal sight.

Youngpoong was literally being beaten to dust.

I think Youngpung just wanted to ask him something…

I looked at Shinhyeon and tried to ask him again, but Shinhyeon’s attitude was firm.

“Hey…”

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

“No… I think I should write it.”

“No, no, you don’t have to use it. I felt like my education was a bit lacking, but the situation worked out well.”

“yes…?”

education? Is that education right? Is it okay to treat Jisu later, who is called the Dark Dragon of Darkness…?

It was very different from the image of Doga that I had pictured in my head.

I thought it would be gentle and decent,

but what is this

…

If this old man was a real volcano sword, wouldn’t it be a problem from there?

It was at this point that I suddenly felt relieved at the part I realized.

No matter how beaten they were, Youngpoong was lying dead on the floor when the writers withdrew.

I think I’ve lost my mind, is it okay…?

Putting my worries to shame, someone puts Youngpoong on their shoulders and disappears behind them.

“You don’t have to worry about it. It will happen soon.”

Before I could ask anything more, Shinhyun came in.

Do you think this is a situation where you shouldn’t ask more?

“Yes what. Anyway…”

“Then the former Confucius is heading straight to the volcano?”

“That’s right, because I have to finish my job soon.”

“Do you have any other work at the volcano besides delivering the treasure?”

“It’s nothing special, I have to take my younger brother to Sega.”

“yes…?”

Did I say something strange again?

As before, the eyes of the writers gather to me.

No, it wasn’t like before.

It was much hotter and more passionate.

‘…was the volcano originally a group of crazy people like this?’

[What dude!?]

‘Please be quiet… My head is ringing.’

[This rotten guy has nothing to criticize, so he’s swearing at someone else’s sect!?]

I couldn’t help it no matter what he said.

I thought I could call it that if I only looked at the eyes I was receiving right now.

Shinhyun suddenly grabs my shoulder tightly.

“Why are you doing this…”

“Let’s go Daehyeop.”

“what?”

From Sohyeop to Confucius and from Confucius to Daehyeop, the titles changed in an instant.

Not only Shinhyeon, but also literary figures who had been silently watching behind me flocked to me.

“We will take you to the volcano safely and quickly.”

“Are you having trouble walking? Can I pick you up? I’m on the fast side.”

“Can I take a breather instead?”

“hey! Get rid of that horse, I can run faster than a horse!”

“Two horses would be better than one, so I do too.”

“…that’s it.”

What should I do, they’re really crazy.

I replied with a half-forced smile at the sight of him looking as if he had just eaten a handful of poppies.

Fortunately, the voice came out without trembling.

“No, I think we’d better go separately.”

I said it in a desperate voice.

My words were ignored lightly, so I ended up accompanying the Volcano Squad.

[Heh heh, his lively appearance is very lovely.]

….Life.

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

The summit of Lianhua Peak, located in Huayin County, Shaanxi.

The season for plum blossoms has passed, but plum blossoms are blooming in all four seasons in Hwasan.

It does not wither as it assimilates with the wager of the warriors of the volcano.

It was a hot summer season, but plum blossoms fluttering in the wind were like flower buds, so it resembled winter.

If you go up the mountain road to the closest place to the moon, there is a small hut built.

This is a place where not only the three great disciples of Hwasan, but even the second generation disciples are not allowed to enter.

A place where only a few people can enter, even among the great scholars of Hwasan, the elders, and the disciples.

In such a place, a little girl climbed up the mountain path and carefully opened the moonlit cabin door.

profit.

I opened and dug as carefully as possible, but the old door was different from my heart.

Perhaps because of that, the person inside made a noise to wake up.

“Would you like to come in?”

The woman’s voice was aged, but it was still beautiful and graceful.

The girl carefully showed her face with a guilty face.

The woman with that look asked.

“Lyeonghwa, why are you making that face?”

“…Sorry, I was just going to see you, but Master woke me up.”

The master smiled slightly at the disciple’s words.

Even after several years had passed, he still had a kind heart, so I had no choice but to give him my heart.

Carefully stretched both hands forward.

The disciple immediately ran to the master and hugged him.

He stroked his fine hair and said to his disciple. “It must have been scary at night, but

why do you come

here every day?

To get here from the disciple’s residence, he had to run for a long time over a rough mountain road.

It must be difficult and painful for a child’s body.

The disciple climbed the mountain road every day to visit the master.

The disciple in his arms asked cautiously.

“Is your body okay…?”

“Today is a good day, so I feel fine.”

“really!”

“Would you like to go for a walk together?”

“…yes!”

The disciple smiled brightly as if it were the words he had been waiting for.

The disciple immediately grabbed the master’s hand.

Wrinkled and cold hands, but the disciple liked even that.

I left the cabin and went for a walk.

It wasn’t too dark for the moonlight to illuminate the road in the middle of the night.

Plum blossoms are even more beautiful in the moonlight.

The disciple loved the mountain road full of plum blossoms, walking with the teacher.

Even though we held cold hands, we could definitely feel the warmth. The disciple regarded this as love.

In case the master fell, he took the right stride.

The stones in front of him were removed with his feet.

There was dust on my pretty clothes, but I didn’t care.

The master strokes the student’s hair calmly.

“It’s a law flower.”

“Your master.”

Master secretly caught his breath.

There is something to bring out to the disciple, but this is because the disciple did not like it.

“It’s time to go to Shanxi in a little while.”

“…”

Sure enough, the disciple shut his mouth at the master’s words.

I could feel the pout in one of my slightly furrowed eyebrows.

The master smiled lightly at that appearance.

“I’m going to see my family, but I don’t like it that much?”

“…”

“It’s a law.”

“It’s…”

The disciple whispers softly.

The master listened calmly without urging.

Then the disciple’s voice came a little clearer.

“…it’s not like family.”

It’s a watery voice.

The master slowly raised his head and put his hand on the disciple’s small shoulder.

“…I’m sorry.”

At the disciple’s voice, the master had nothing more to say.

I didn’t dare to intervene.

I had to be a disciple because of an unforgettable relationship, but I have no regrets.

It wasn’t long before I realized that the happiness that came in my later years was being a disciple.

If there is one thing I regret, it is that my body is not healthy.

If I had met you a little earlier, I would have been able to tell you and embrace you more.

The time was very disappointing.

The master hoped that the student would not cry and that he would find happiness in this chaotic world.

Under the moonlight illuminating the volcano.

Maehwa Swordsman lonely stroked the pupil’s hair.

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

Chur-uh-!

Birds hiding in the forest fly away at the sound of the bear’s cry.

Everywhere was filled with the corpse of a monster that had been hacked to pieces.

Between the blue blood soaking the ground, Namgoongbia calmly gathered her energy.

How many times have you encountered a monster?

I counted my fingers, but I couldn’t remember anything after that.

I ran non-stop from Shanxi.

After running for such a long time, I feel skeptical about what I am doing.

Still, I had no desire to go back.

I’ve found a more comfortable place to live.

Namgoongbia finds her way by intuition.

To be precise, I went to the less stinky side without even realizing it.

Because of that, I often got lost.

It was the same this time, but a little different.

The bet that was full of Danjeon fell long ago.

Of course, I had to face the shower while walking on the road.

Going up and down the rough mountain road, here and there was dirty, and the clean uniform had long since become old and shabby.

It was familiar.

Fortunately, I was able to face the valley and it got a little better.

“…Not long.”

Namgoongbia whispered in the forest where she could only see trees and grass.

It is a firm voice.

If you ask how can you be sure, you won’t be able to answer yourself.

It just felt that way.

If you go here, he will be there.

The only cozy place in a dirty and painful world.

After arranging the sword, I turned and walked.

It was definitely this way.

For some reason, I thought it would be this way.

“I want to see you soon…”

Namgoongbia’s eyes widen.

Unconsciously, I covered my mouth with my hand.

‘…I miss you?’

why?

Because it doesn’t stink? Is that why?

The posture that had been going all the way was slightly twisted.

Namgoongbia stopped and collected her thoughts.

I stood like that for a while.

He stays still for a while and then spits out his words.

“I want to see…? I want to see.”

Namgoongbia nodded.

I don’t know why, but I felt like I wanted to see him.

That was enough.

There seemed to be no need to think of any other reason.

“Not long.”

I can feel him from afar.

It is certainty, not certainty.

It’s still a long way off, but it won’t take too long.

Namgoongbia took another step, as if her worries were over.
