Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 73
EP.73 A bit scratched. (2)
I scratched a little. (2)
The day of Guryunghwa starts early in the morning.
Rather than waking up at the same time as the sunrise (sunrise), as is usually the case with literati in Hwasan.
I used to wake up earlier and wait for the sunrise.
Gu Ryeong-hwa changes her clothes neatly and goes out cautiously in case the teacher wakes up in a hurry.
Usually, I go to the nearby forest to do some training, fetch water, and do housework, such as cleaning.
Today, I had to go out to the prefecture.
It was God’s own doing.
Gu Ryeong-hwa set out on the road, carrying the silver coins he had given him along with the words to buy some ingredients for making medicine.
Usually, when dealing with medicinal materials, if the buyer is clumsy or young, he will do bad things such as giving poor quality medicine or overcharging.
The story is different if you are wearing the plum blossom suit of the volcano.
If they gave more medicine, they gave more. There was no way I dared to fool around with the plum blossom-patterned literary man in Hwaeum-hyeon under the volcano wave.
Maybe God wasn’t aiming for that.
Gu Ryeong-hwa went to an apothecary and purchased the paper with the necessary medicinal materials written on it by Shinui.
‘…it smells too bitter.’
I came out with a box full of unheard of plants in my arms.
As soon as I came back to the street, food that stimulated my nose was sold here and there.
The sun is starting to rise, so it must be getting ready for business.
The fragrant smell and delicious-looking food slowed down the pace, but it did not stop.
More than that, the teacher was more important.
“I have to go quickly…!”
Did Master wake up?
I was worried that he would have woken up soon after he felt a lot of sleep after his body became very weak.
Perhaps by the time you arrive, the meal preparations will be finished.
The son of faith, the grandson of half of them, was a very uncomfortable existence for Gu Ryeong-hwa.
Aside from that, the child was on the side of being amazing at cooking.
It was a person who had no idea what he was thinking, but it seemed great that he was quick to notice and did housework.
‘…I should be able to do that too.’
I should be able to do a little more things so that I can help Master until he gets better.
As the thought crossed my mind, my strenuous steps stopped by themselves.
– I won’t make it past this year.
The firm voice of faith continued to linger in Gu Ryeong-hwa’s ears.
pop.
Gu Ryeong-hwa hurriedly wiped the tears running down her cheeks with her sleeve.
Even if I secretly cry and calm down and show up from behind, Master will recognize me like a ghost, so I didn’t want to worry.
Still, the crying didn’t stop.
Crying once erupted never stops.
That’s why Gu Ryeong-hwa hated crying.
I thought as I tried to wipe away the flowing tears.
‘…if the master dies…’
After the teacher leaves, what will remain of me left alone?
There will be nothing left.
Gu Ryeong-hwa was so sure.
family?
‘I don’t like it…’
Guryeong-hwa naturally shrank at the creepy word that suddenly came to mind.
Gu Ryeong-hwa still remembered that dark night.
A hazy yet precise memory still entangled Gu Ryeong-hwa.
The day the light broke down.
A mother who was crying and a father who looked down with a cold expression.
And Guyangcheon, who was sitting down.
Guryeonghwa was something I could never forget.
That was my mother’s last day and the day everything was ruined.
So what about volcanic waves?
Gu Ryeong-hwa just shook her head because she couldn’t even figure it out.
He used to growl when he tried to touch someone.
Moreover, Gu Ryeong-hwa was a second-generation disciple who came in late, so she could not get along with the third-generation disciples.
Will Hwasan be able to embrace herself after the teacher leaves?
Even so, can he endure it?
Gu Ryeong-hwa wiped away the tears that continued to drip.
After walking like that, I came to a place where I could see the hut.
I had to come to my senses quickly and show my sane appearance.
As a disciple, I thought that was the minimum duty.
After clearing her mind, she took a step towards the hut, and the appearance of her from the outside disappeared in an instant.
In an instant, like smoke.
Is it because of that?
The men who had been quietly watching Guryunghwa continued their conversation with strange expressions.
“…Where did you go?”
“Aren’t you caught?”
“You were caught by a girl who barely looked second-rate? Rather, it would be more realistic to say that Mae Hwa-seon transformed into that woman.”
“Shut up and look around, it seems like you found something.”
A small man in a black hood began examining the area where the old shoes had disappeared.
I didn’t see anything special, but I felt something cheap.
‘Is it true?’
If that’s the case, I inadvertently stretched out my hand, wondering why I had set up a camp in such a deep mountain valley.
Tung-!
“…!”
A hand bounced out with a dull sensation in the air.
It was a pretty tough reaction.
Touching his numb hand, the man corrected himself inwardly.
‘It wasn’t like the truth.’
It seems that there is also a line method that blurs the eyes, but if you look at the essence, this is a simple miracle.
That, too, was a solid gimag that was filled tightly as if a bet had been poured into it.
“…Is it Maehwaseon’s work?”
It may not be, but the only warrior who can hit this level of wonder was the Maehwa Ship in Shaanxi right away.
Even a branch manager who looks like a monster no matter how much he looks like a human being would not be able to show off this level of magic.
“I think I found something…”
Is there anyone in here looking for it?
‘I have to go back to the branch for now.’
You can’t deal with the gimag right away, and if you act recklessly, you’ll get into the eyes of the volcanic wave.
“Go back.”
Behind the man’s question, the thick-skinned giant let out a regretful sound.
“Are you just going back…?”
nod! The man gnashed his teeth at the giant’s regretful voice.
That young pig must be doing that because of the girl who just disappeared.
“What’s the matter again, Dusome?”
“… just a little girl. It looks pretty, but can’t we just taste it and go, boss?”
At Doosom’s words, the man’s forehead narrowed sharply.
“Please, fuck you, I told you not to do unnecessary work. Are you saying that?”
In spite of the man’s scolding, the two islands only lick their appetites with their tongues as if they were sorry.
“…No, but it’s been a while since I haven’t tasted it so much…wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy it, too?”
“Don’t say disgusting things. You say you get some pleasure from tasting a kid who didn’t grow up properly. Please take care of yourself, bastard.”
“Just in time, the girl was wearing a volcano outfit. If I caught her and took her away, wouldn’t the branch manager like it too?”
“I’m a kid anyway, but there’s nothing to cheer me up…! Fuck please just don’t touch the kid!”
“That’s right, don’t touch the kid.”
“Okay, I’ll just go back now…”
The man started talking but kept his mouth shut.
At the same time, the actions of the men standing in front of the curtain stopped all at once.
Because it was the first time I heard a voice in the middle of a conversation.
The hesitation was brief.
The man immediately pulled out his sword and swung it in the direction of the voice.
Shih!
Even though he swung it with all his might, the sword just cut through the air.
It must have been popular here…?
Dududuk-!
“Kreukreuk…!”
Along with the sound of bones snapping, the sound of two islands boiling was heard.
When the man looked away, the huge bodies of the two islands were slowly collapsing.
It’s not as huge as the branch manager, but it’s almost as big as that.
cooong!
The giant fell down with such an easy, heavy sound.
The bizarrely broken neck would have killed him at a glance.
“You bastard…what are you doing?”
the man asked
A boy stands tall behind the fallen Doosom.
Very shallow reddish black hair and red eyes that seemed to be full of blood.
From the red uniform and straight posture, it was possible to feel that the boy was not an ordinary soldier.
The boy’s gaze turns to the man.
With smirking lips, the boy answered the man’s question.
“You know what, you motherfuckers.”
Sparks flew with harsh curse words.
******************
In an instant, the quiet forest turned into chaos.
Quad Deuk-!
A raging flame engulfs the surroundings.
The company’s stomach gun could not understand this ironic situation.
What the fuck is that crazy monster?
He had only gone out to look around, but it was unexpected.
I thought I moved safely, avoiding the movement of the volcanic wave, but I never thought I would meet this guy.
Glancing at him, he looked in the direction of Dusum’s corpse.
No other trauma is seen other than death from a twisted neck.
It was only an instant, so it was only natural.
‘There is no hesitation in killing.’
It was a quality that no boy at that age could have.
It must be a more difficult part especially for martial artists who mainly use their hands.
Can a boy who has not yet been contracted do this?
‘furthermore.’
Roaring!
“Fuck…!”
I managed to block the flames coming from all directions with my sword and dodged.
What the hell is this madly swirling flame?
‘shoemaker…? I don’t think there’s any sect that uses chemical weapons in Shaanxi…!’
The flames, which only looked hot and chaotic, had clear rules even in the gaps.
Baechong could see that all these flames were moving according to the caster’s intention.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that the boy has reached a point where he dares not do anything.
He said that he, beyond the first class, could not do anything about that young boy.
‘Is it a monster wearing a human mask?’
The time when the stomach gun gritted it to the fullest.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
A colleague who came with him is grabbed by the boy’s hand.
The boy wrapped his hand full of fire and burned it.
“…Huh…Huh!”
The screams of those dying by fire echoed through the forest, but the boy’s eyes remained emotionless as at the beginning.
“I made a little mistake.”
boy’s words.
Bae Chong felt goose bumps all over his body at the sound of that voice.
Abyss where nothing is felt.
It seemed that he was now in that depth.
“I should have burned that piglet to death from the inside, but it’s been a while since I killed someone, so I made a mistake.”
How could the way he clapped his hands look so familiar?
Even more so, the look suited him.
Bae Chong asked while hiding his cold sweat.
“…what the hell are you doing?”
“Did you not hear me? I told you what to do.”
“You dare to think who we are…
”
“…!”
The boy’s answer froze the stomach gun in an instant.
“How could you do that…”
The boy smiled as he took a step towards Bae Chong.
The blazing fire was still hot, and the boy caught and killed another of his men who charged as he approached.
“Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The screams rang out again.
“Let me ask you something.”
fireball.
To Bae Chong, the slowly approaching boy seemed more and more like a spark rather than a human being.
The flame approaches slowly and asks.
“I didn’t know about you guys, but I saw some interesting facts.”
In Baechong’s eyes, it was as if the world was melting.
How can a person do something like that?
It was different from the fear I felt when I saw the branch manager.
The fear was the same, but the level was different.
What the hell am I facing…?
Eventually, the condensed flames clung to one side of the arm of the gun.
“…Turn it off…!”
I couldn’t even scream once, even as I watched my arms burn from being crushed by fear.
It just runs backwards on its hesitant feet.
The flame looked at the stomach gun and spoke again.
“Why are you?”
Red eyes were shining brightly in the slit eyes.
“Do you have demonic energy?”
The boy’s question and the thick burns.
Bae Chong couldn’t say anything.
