Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 81

< Episode 81 > More fox than you think. (2)

More fox than I thought (2)

After washing his body, Youngpung sat quietly on the floor as if his anxiety from earlier had disappeared

. He looked a little stiff, but I

thought

it was because he was tired after training .

” stamp.”

When I call out to Youngpoong, his expression, which had been stiff for some reason, quickly brightens.

How to say, I felt a sense of relief, like ‘I lived…!’

“Gusohyeop!”

“You said you were coming right away, did you wait a long time?”

“yes! I waited so long…!”

“…yes?”

It was a polite remark, but Youngpoong seemed to answer sincerely.

have you waited that long? It seemed like it came right away.

Even Wiseol-ah, who was sitting next to me, rushed when I appeared.

It felt good to be smiling all over the room.

“Dojang Then, where should we eat?”

“Yes?”

Youngpoong made a surprised expression at my question.

why are you freaking out?

Foreigners cannot use the restaurant used by literary men, and Young Poong

will not be able to leave the school without permission from an elder level or higher.

Since such a spirit wind came, I thought that he must have come with a method.

“Dojang…Did you ever find one?”

“…lol.”

Hehe, you bastard…. Even if a woman did it

, you would have been

annoyed .

Then, should I just eat in moderation?

Before that, I had to ask Youngpoong.

“It is said that literary men gather together to eat. Is it okay if we leave?”

Youngpoong puts on a puzzled expression at my question.

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but it bothered me a little that I kept showing an uncomfortable appearance

.

“I am fine. It probably won’t bother me too much.”

“…Then let’s eat together in moderation.”

“Are we eating?”

“Is there anything prepared?”

It must have been time to eat, but the attendants must have prepared something.

As I was trying to find something to eat, Wisole raised her hand.

“I can cook!”

“…Where is Hongwa?”

Pretending not to hear what I said made Wi Seol-ah frown.

I’m sorry, but the food Wi Seol-ah prepared

wasn’t good enough to show to someone.

First of all, I grabbed a passing attendant and asked her to prepare a meal.

The attendant tells me that it will not take long, as if he had already made some preparations

.

Wi Seol-ah naturally disappeared by the hand of the attendant to prepare the meal.

Seeing this, Yeongpoong let out a sigh.

It was a deep sigh.

“…Huh, I’ll live.”

“What are you doing?”

“yes …? Oh, nothing.”

It’s not, but there seems to be something about the way I notice…

Youngpung also seems to have noticed the meaning behind my eyes, so he avoids his gaze.

“The meal will be ready soon, so come in and wait.”

“ah! All right.”

At my invitation, Yeongpung quickly changed his expression to a clear expression and followed me into the dorm.

The meal was lightly finished.

Most of the ingredients procured from the volcano were vegetables, so it was not a pleasant meal

.

‘I just need to fill my stomach.’

To be honest, since there were a lot of intense movements like training these days, I was

craving meat.

However, I was putting up with it because I couldn’t eat the meat grilled right away at the Doga.

Thinking of this, Shinnoya says in a deep voice.

[What is it? If you want to eat, you eat.]

‘…Noya?’

[It’s not that you shouldn’t eat meat like the rest of Shaolin, and

there’s no reason to put up with it.

]

[That’s what you lack the most, but

it’s lamentable that you

‘re looking for it with your eyes

…

His credit rating continued to go up and down at the harsh words that came out if he could be trusted

.

‘How can I do crazy things such as grilling and eating meat at the gate?’

Even if you think about it a hundred times, it was a little unreasonable.

A servant came and took away the dishes that were finished eating.

“I had a good meal. Thank you so much Dagusohyup.”

“I’m glad you ate well.”

In a way, Youngpoong, who had become a foodie, was embarrassed by the situation that was different from what he expected

.

“Really…. I’ll treat you to something delicious next time.”

“What if the dojo could go out of the doorway…?”

“…yes.”

The more I looked at it, the more Young Poong seemed like a person with a lot of idiocy.

When I heard that it was a sword dragon, I thought it was a resolute swordsman.

Why are you such a country boy?

While I was drinking the water with that thought in mind, Young Poong

opened his mouth as if he had something important to say.

“I… Small Hyeop.”

“yes.”

“Since you’ve finished eating, could you please dance with me if it’s not rude

…?”

“Rain?”

It was an unexpected word.

I thought you would ask me to practice together, but it’s raining.

Having suffered like that in the past, I wondered if I would be a bit reluctant, if not intimidated

.

It doesn’t look like anything at all.

Have you already overcome everything?

He didn’t seem to have suffered any particular heart attack, and he didn’t show much hesitation.

‘Rain Mura.’

I looked at the back of my hand, which was still bandaged.

In fact, since he is already in a good state, there will be no problem even if he dances.

It was just that the image of Via Namgoong was stuck in my mind.

As soon as the back of his hand healed, it seemed like it would be a bit difficult to hear that he started dancing with Young Poong.

“Suddenly, what’s wrong with the rain?”

“…Wouldn’t the shoe show be open in just a little while?”

“yes.”

“Because I… this time, I’m going to have a shoe show with the bosses.”

“With these great disciples?”

Do you usually do that? The third generation of my disciples said that I was proud of this generation,

or did they change it because of Young Poong’s position?

“What does that have to do with rain?”

“…During the preparation period, sparring between disciples is prohibited.”

Was there such a rule…

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen literary men do a dance with each other after coming to Hwasan.

“Um, so you want to dance with me…?”

Yeongpoong nodded quietly.

It was a bit of a pity that it was forbidden to dance with a literary person, but it was okay with a foreigner

.

‘…Actually, it was more strange for a foreigner to visit the Munpa during this period, but

I understood what Yeongpoong said

.

From Hwasan’s point of view, Yeongpung is a third-generation disciple, but since he is definitely a maehwa swordsman, it

seems that he will not be able to release a beast among rabbits.

It seems to me that it would be a problem even if Yeongpung defeated the great disciple Lee on the contrary.

I wondered if Hwasan would think of that part on its own.

“Once…you can dance.”

“oh…! then!”

“But today is too long.”

At my words, Yeongpoong’s face turned sullen in an instant.

“Let’s do it together next time. Today, I have some work to go down to the prefecture, so it

seems impossible.”

This is not an excuse, there was actually something to go down.

Youngpoong looks sad and says he will come back next time.

…next time it looks real?

Unknowingly, I thought it was a little annoying.

After sending Yeongpung away, he immediately brought Wi Seolah down to the prefecture.

Last time, I came down alone because it was Maehwaseon’s request, but this time it was a personal matter, so

Muyeon came down with me.

Preparations were in full swing in Hwaeum-hyeon, probably because of the shoemaking exhibition that will be held in a little while.

Can we say that it feels like Gu Family’s Guryonghoe?

‘I should have seen something before.’

It will probably be a little different, but it will be roughly the same.

It’s because it’s like nowhere else to be enthusiastic about watching the fight of the warriors.

Among the crowds of people, he dragged Wi Seol-ah, who looked here and there with shining eyes, and headed

somewhere.

Looking at the street full of laughter, Shinnoya suddenly says:

[Looking at it now, the times have changed a lot.]

His voice sounded like something sentimental.

‘It’s been a while since Noya was there.’

The period in which Shin Noya was active was clearly an era of war.

Of course, that period was able to end in a short time with their performance.

Cities at that time would not have looked the same as they do now.

[That’s good.]

‘You seem to be in a good mood.’

[Then, since this is the world we so longed for… it has to be good.]

I didn’t know what emotion Shinnoya was talking about.

Because it was the opposite of me.

I walked all the way to find the building I wanted and stopped.

Because you found the place you were looking for.

“What are you doing here?”

Wee Seol-ah, who is holding chicken skewers in her hand, asks.

For reference, Muyeon bought it for me.

In the center of the building, the word Maeng (盟) is written, which

means that it belongs to the Murim Maeng and is conducting business.

A place to buy and sell monster skins and bones.

The business I needed to see in the prefecture was here.

“Welcome!”

Inside, there are many types of skins and bones.

Looking at it, it seemed that it was an item of monsters of roughly green to blue grade.

The higher ranks are directly managed by Yamyeong, so they probably won’t sell it recklessly.

“Oi, what did you come to our establishment for?”

Are you an inexperienced…?

This man must have been in business for a while.

You didn’t even spit on your mouth and you were just spouting lies…

I asked the owner without looking embarrassed.

“I came to buy something, but I want to ask first.”

“Ah, yes, you should ask. We are the biggest in the area! There is nothing missing

!”

“Ah, then do you have magic stones?”

“yes? A magic stone…?”

The owner was a bit taken aback by my question.

Unlike by-products such as monster skins and bones, magic stones

are items that do not have any particular utility value.

Although there were times when I tried to use it like a jewel because of its beautiful appearance.

It was just an ordinary stone as it quickly lost its color over time

.

“If possible, it would be nice to have a magic stone less than a day after the monster was caught.”

So I had to find something that didn’t lose its color.

Losing color means that demons have lost their vitality and scattered.

The owner’s expression was about to collapse, but he quickly recovered.

Maybe it’s because he thinks he’s an unwanted guest?

“That… Confucius.”

“No way?”

“yes ••. Apparently, there is no demand for magic stones, and the number of monsters has decreased recently, so

the supply has all decreased.”

“Did the number of monsters decrease?”

“It’s been a bit strangely low this year.”

It is possible that there is no magic stone, but the appearance of monsters has decreased.

‘It’s something I’ve never heard of in Shanxi.’

The fact that there were fewer monsters must have been a good thing in Chi, but the sudden decrease

was not something that could be said in a good way unconditionally.

“Then there are no magic stones?”

“Yes…. There are some that are roughly collected, but if you want something with color,

there is no chapter right now.”

“All right.”

“Confucius, how about leather or bones? It’s just a good thing ….”

“No, that’s it.”

When I firmly refused to sell anything else,

I heard the owner muttering from behind.

I didn’t think that I would get it as soon as it arrived, as the thing I was looking for was an object.

‘Should I go somewhere to catch and pull it myself?’

When you ignore them like that, they appear on their own even if you stay still, and only at times like this… [Why

are you

looking for magic stones?]

[What?]

The aura that is now tangled in my body and

something unknown that holds it back.

Even more so, the guy who suppresses it and goes crazy when you try to make a certain level of bet

.

Because of this, he was treated as a living corpse and was even treated as a time-limited person.

You never know when your energy will get tangled up.

I don’t think Madang, who gave up even trust, will get any help from your medicine side.

It was impossible at the current level to endure or accept it on its own.

However, it was unclear whether the body would withstand the training.

Eventually I had to find a solution.

I’m not sure what I thought of as soon as I heard the word of faith, but

there was a part that I expected as a solution to some extent.

magic (magic).

The Magic Absorption Perforation that came along with the return.

Couldn’t this damn magic ball be suppressing the energy?

Two conflicting energies run amok like a rat, but

if we were to find a reason to keep them together, wouldn’t this be it?

It was difficult to find another reason other than the power of the Heavenly Demon.

‘Or… something else that ate demons.’

A mouth-watering fireball that ate the demonic energy that entered the body and purified it with a bet.

I had never heard of Gu Family martial arts having such an effect.

If there was such a thing, there was no way I wouldn’t have known about it in my previous life.

Then in the end… there’s something else.

‘My body isn’t a monster’s den, and it’s full of strange things like this

.’

Is this also a reaction that has gone through a regression?

Or did the Heavenly Demon’s touch remain after reaching this point?

The more I thought about it, the more disgusting I felt.

“Bocchan, Bocchan.”

As I was walking with complicated thoughts, Wei Seol-ah grabbed me by the collar and called me.

“huh?

99

“Ah!”

It was the skewer I had eaten earlier that I pushed out with a noise.

Surprisingly, he didn’t even eat a single bite.

That Weiseol-ah…?

.

.

…..

“What?

99

“The first wearer’s off!”

“Why don’t you all eat?”

“Bocchan, you were making an ugly face again.”

Wi Seol-ah’s words reminded me of what Shin Noya said a while ago that her face was full of marks

.

Am I the kind to be so teased?

Perhaps it was because she seemed weak, to the extent that Wiseol-ah handed her something to eat first.

Did you worry too much?

I took a big bite of the chicken skewers and asked.

Wi Seol-ah’s expression changed in a funny way as he ate it in his mouth.

“…That…I didn’t mean to eat that much…!”

“Maddie.”

I couldn’t pronounce it properly because I put it in my mouth.

I ate the remaining one or two pieces of skewers and left alone.

It was the eyes that were left full of regret.

Then you say it with your sad eyes.

“…so delicious…but it’s over now.”

I held back because I thought I would laugh at Wi Seol-ah’s appearance.

If it explodes here, everything you chewed in your mouth will come out.

Mysteriously, with just this, the complicated mood quickly gets better.

Is it because of Wi Seol-ah, or did something change while returning?

“Would you like to buy another one?”

“I-really?”

“Okay, let’s eat one more.”

Saying that, he dragged Wi Seol-ah to the place where he sold skewers.

Bought two skewers.

Because it was more delicious than I thought, I wanted to eat one too.

I asked if I would like to eat smokeless, but I refused, saying that it would not work because I was escorted.

So I ate chicken skewers and wandered around the prefecture with Wi Seol-ah.

Oh, for reference, I paid for the skewers without smoke.
