Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 97
< Episode 97 > Jehwajeon (第花悐).⑴
Jehwajeon (第花전) (1)
I woke up earlier than usual and finished my morning training.
Lately, I have been waking up every morning to practice.
Duduk-! Bone sounds are heard whenever a joint is moved.
My body seemed to have loosened up to some extent.
As soon as the training was over, I checked my physical condition.
All of the internal injuries sustained in the battle had healed, and only the demon coiled in the danteon
remained as a problem.
‘At this rate… I’d be done with my job.’
Fortunately, purification was steadily progressing in the body.
Because of that, it is much less now.
The amount of magic that Swordsman possessed was too much.
The remaining energy after purifying the magic is being absorbed into the danteon, so
I could feel that the amount of betting was increasing more than before.
‘In a way, this should be considered a chance.’
At this point, it seemed that the point of struggling with poor bets had passed.
It won’t be absorbed completely, but most of it will be stored as power.
So it was even more questionable.
‘Where the hell did Swordsman get this level of magic?’
I heard from Sinui that he couldn’t speak because he was under a ban.
Hearing that made it even creepier.
“It’s forbidden for Magi.”
This is almost the same story as the traces that the Heavenly Demon did to create demons.
To find the difference, it is that Magi is at the level of ‘endurance’.
Because of this, I wasn’t sure if the swordsman really met the Heavenly Demon.
If the Heavenly Demon had truly given the demonic energy to the swordsman, it wouldn’t have stopped at this point
.
At least as far as I know, it did.
‘I’ll have to find out the magic that the Dark Night Palace possessed.’ The Volcanic Faction must have been moving, but
I wanted to find out a little about how they caught and drew
the blood of the plum swordsmen .
Feeling something uneasy is the feeling that something is tightly entangled
.
“Should we go to their hideout, which is said to have been discovered by the scholars of the volcano?” It may be a problem to find the location, but
it will not be difficult
as it has already been found and is managed by the Volcano Wave .
‘I’ll have to look around before I go back to Sega.’
There was a high probability that the volcanic wave had confirmed and taken the traces of these American men.
Even so, it was a justification to reduce the hesitation even a little
.
‘If the Black Night Palace is really related to the Demonic Cult.’
Just a few years later, a group of Sapa people collapsed by the Murimmaeng.
I thought only that much. If there was a fact that was so tangled up.
‘I’ll have to do something.’
I didn’t have enough power to erase the Dark Night Palace with my own hands.
It wouldn’t be a place where you could push it away with such recklessness.
‘Still, I’ll be able to pull a few years.’
I’ll have to think about whether that’s really necessary.
I didn’t have enough time to think about it.
“Actually, I’ve already finished my worries.”
As much as I decided to do something, I couldn’t just think about it forever.
As I drag myself into the dorm, Wee Seol-ah
approaches with a pleasant smile and a towel.
It was probably brought beforehand to use when washing.
I looked at it and asked.
“Did you wake up early in the morning?”
As I said that, my eyes unknowingly turned to Wi Seol-ah’s hair.
Wi Seol-ah was fixing her hair with the decorations she had given her yesterday. At the same time, I remembered the touch of my cheek yesterday, and
I stroked
my cheek with my hand for no reason .
Wi Seol-ah, who has been watching me quietly, asks.
“Bocchan, where are you sick?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“But why is your face red…?”
“…It’s an illusion.”
I quickly passed Wi Seol-ah, washed and changed clothes. I washed my face with cold water
, but the strange heat remained.
‘Does it make sense that I’m still doing this because of just that?’
Even when I thought about it, it was absurd. If it is difficult to reduce the heat on the face
, I even heard the foolish thought of
making a bet to cover the heat all over the body so that it would not be visible .
However, I just gave up because I felt like I would feel really embarrassed if I did that.
After trimming the clothes, I opened the door and went out. On the floor, Namgung
Bia, who was not sure when she woke up, was sitting there.
To be exact, I was sitting and dozing.
I was thinking of leaving it if I wanted to sleep properly, but it must have happened somehow.
After watching it quietly, she coughed lightly and
slipped the ornament into her hair to secure it.
The problem was that he had never intensively touched a woman’s hair, so
it seemed to be more messy because his hands were clumsy.
“…is this ruined?”
I was just trying to sneak it in, but how do I fix this?
She tried to do something, but maybe it was because the crowd was too loud, so Namgoongbya
rubbed her sleepy eyes and moved her head.
“Ummm…
99
a
99
Half-closed eyes meet me.
Soon after, Via Namgoong raised her thin, white hand and gently shook it.
This was her typical morning greeting.
In the meantime, you can clearly see the decorations in her hair shaking with the movements of Namgoong Biah
.
‘…Should I tell you?’
how to say
I did it because I didn’t want to show off, but I couldn’t let it go.
As she was flustered, not knowing what to do, Namgoong Bia looked at her with a puzzled look on her face
.
“That…”
“Huh?”
I’d rather try to pull it out by hand, but Wiseol-ah came over and talked to me as if he had found it
.
“uh? Is your sister doing the same thing as me?”
“Same thing?
99 It was only then that Consort Nam, as if she had noticed what had happened to her
, pulled the ornaments out of her hair with
her softer hands .
“uh?”
Telegram’s largest novel sharing room..
More than 100,000 novels can be
downloaded
.
It looked like what this was.
I looked at Namgoongbia’s fierce expression and answered in a low voice.
“…I just bought one.”
Yesterday, I tried to give it to you, but I just gave it to you, and I couldn’t bear to give it to you.
As he spoke, he looked away.
I wonder why it’s so hard to make eye contact with this.
By the way, it wasn’t exactly the same as the one I gave to Wi Seol-ah.
It’s just a little bit different, but that’s all.
At first, I wanted to buy a decoration for a different purpose, but I didn’t know what to buy, so
I picked it roughly.
‘Why did you buy something like this?’
If I just stayed still , I would have gone halfway .
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it was useless.
Bia Namgoong looked at the ornaments quietly, then brushed her hair up, held her shape, and
fixed it with the ornaments.
The pure white nape of the neck is naturally exposed and the fine lines stand out.
It was amazing how the atmosphere changed just by raising my hair.
Via Namgoong looks up at me and asks.
“…How is it?” “It’s okay…that’s it.”
The words were about to come out of my throat, but I barely held it in.
It was difficult to say ‘pretty’. Fortunately, Bia Namgoong raised the corners of her mouth and
smiled
slightly, as if this answer was enough .
He seemed to be smiling often these days.
Just looking at this, I felt that my life was very different from my previous life.
If it was the life I wanted, the direction was slightly different, but if it was not a comfortable life, that
was not the case.
It was a comfortable life that I would like to keep as it is if possible.
‘So more…’
I should do something.
I mean, even if you do that, it will change.
The guide who led me to the fork in the road where I hesitated for a long time… It
was just novel that it was so trivial.
I tried to hide my embarrassment and pretended it was nothing.
“I’m going to see the shoe show being held. Would you like to go with me?”
In response to my question, Namgoongbi and Wei Xuelu both nodded at the same time.
The original plan was to leave before the shoe fair and return to Sega as soon as possible
.
Gu Ryeong-hwa said that he would return to the three generations, so he decided to wait.
Coincidentally, after that, I had some errands in Seomyeon, so I had to delay the plan a bit, so
should I call this a relief?
‘Though swordsmanship and trust are a problem.’
Two people who want to go to three streets together.
I don’t know why I suddenly made that choice.
It was a good thing for the three families.
Of course, I don’t know if swordsman can be a bit uncomfortable.
If it’s trustworthy, it’s probably not just the Kuga family, but the Onsega family as well.
‘My father…’
I don’t know about my father. I
was planning to send related matters to Segae, such as
changes in the number of people returning and suspicions that the Dark Night Palace was aiming for faithfulness .
Since it is not known how much the swordsman’s body has recovered, there
is a story written on it asking him to use his strength in preparation for an unexpected attack.
In fact, it’s half of the words for show, but that’s all.
In any case, there was a position, so I had to send it for a long time.
then around noon.
Until the shoe exhibition started, there were no Korean food courts left.
‘I thought the shoe show took about two days.’
If you recall the difference from the Guryonghoe held by the Gu family, outsiders are not allowed to participate
.
It would be convenient to think of it as a small dance competition in which literary men compete in the munpa itself.
At least, there was no collaboration with the upper class or anything like that,
it was purely a festival of the literary faction.
Outsiders are relatively free to enter and exit during the shoe festival season. This means that you are welcome to come and take a look
.
The problem is that the volcanic wave is on top of an insanely high mountain.
From my point of view, I wondered if anyone dared to come up to this high place to see this
…
Since ancient times, human passion is a great thing.
“Are you buzzing…?”
Even if it wasn’t a place
with a munpa of that wide size compared to the reputation or position that the volcano faction had .
It’s so full of people in the center…
Considering that most of the people are ordinary people without bets, climbing itself
would have been work.
Even more so, to arrive at this time, you would have had to climb the mountain early in the morning. Seeing this again
, I felt like I knew a little bit about
the status and affection that Hwaeum-hyeon has for the symbol of the Volcano Wave . It seems
that the volcanic wave also prepared a place for foreigners to come from the beginning
.
Compared to the Guryonghoe, which was prepared by collaborating with the upper ranks, the level might be lower, but
the atmosphere seemed better this way.
In the gap, I could faintly hear the chatter of the people gathered there.
“Should the sword dragon also participate this time?”
Is it the story of Youngpoong?
“I don’t think I saw it last year… but it will come out this year.”
“In the first place, it wasn’t even Geomryong back then. Who was the winner last year? Young…what
was it.”
“Of course it must be a spirit, these three great disciples must all be turning to spirit sons.”
“It must have been the Doho called Youngseong.”
“Oh yes spirituality! It felt like that… Who are you?”
The person who intervened in the conversation was wearing a volcanic uniform with a plum blossom pattern on it.
Seeing that, the man who had been making a lot of noise shrank slightly as if he was slightly intimidated.
the man asked cautiously.
“That… are you a volcanic person?”
“Ah yes, my name is Youngpoong.”
‘…What is he doing over there?’
Surprisingly, it was Youngpoong who sneaked into the conversation.
Why don’t you prepare for the shoe show?
“Young Poong…Young…! Maybe a sword dragon…?”
Youngpoong shyly scratches the back of his head at the man’s question.
It meant half-admitting it.
By the time the man was startled and informed the person next to him, Yeongpung and I met eyes
.
“oh! Old small cooperative!”
When he saw me, he immediately got up and came towards me. As the spirit wind moves, people
‘s eyes also move.
The sound of the conversation just now was a bit loud, so it seemed that the people around him noticed it.
I can see the light shining from the eyes of those who are looking at Yeongpoong. Hey,
it’s not
easy to see the representative late index, which is said to be the inside of the midfield .
Speaking of Oryongsambong, it was the same name as the protagonist who will lead the new generation
.
‘…I’ve been treating Youngpoong like that rudely lately.’
Youngpoong’s personality, which seems to be somewhat fun to tease, may have played a part, but
he treated it a bit excessively. Seeing this,
it suddenly made me realize
that Young Poong is in a great position .
As Youngpung approaches, he also greets Namgoong Biah and Wiseolah.
I asked while looking at Youngpoong.
“Isn’t the stampmaster going to participate in the shoe show?”
“No, no. Today is the day when only the three generations of students compete.”
“But why… ah.”
I remembered
what I had heard the other day that Yeongpoong decided to compete among the disciples of Lee Dae .
“Is Gu So-hyeop on his way to see the old accident right now?”
I hesitated to answer Yeongpoong’s words.
It was true that I came to see what Gu Ryeong-hwa was doing, but I had to
say that I didn’t want to say that I came to see my younger sister.
“No, well…that’s true, but if the three great disciples were doing it anyway,
I don’t think there was a need to come.”
I don’t know Namgoongbi and Wiseol-ah, but I was just going to see what I wanted to see,
so if this happens…
“Ah, if it’s something like that, you can wait.”
“yes ?”
“Gusago said he was holding a shoe show today.”
I didn’t quite understand what Youngpoong was saying.
“Are you sure the dojang is going with the three great disciples today…?”
“…that’s true…”
He mumbles as if there’s something a little embarrassing to say.
a
Ah.”
Youngpoong clapped his hands as if he had found a way.
“Since there is still time left… would you like to follow me for a while?”
Having said that, Yeongpoong moved from his seat and followed without saying anything.
It was to the back of the building that I moved along with Yeongpoong. Seeing that most of the people gathered were wearing uniforms
, it seemed like a place
for literary men to wait .
‘Is this the place where only the three great disciples gathered?’
Even at a quick glance, it was composed of a little more or less age than Youngpoong.
The peers who have crossed the terms and conditions yet have not.
Anyway, that’s it…
“Yeongpoong Dojang…”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“Why are they doing that over there?”
On the side my fingertips were pointing at, there were masses of unknown muscles, and familiar
faces were mixed in them.
These were the disciples of Lee Dae-jung who accompanied him on the way to Seom-seo.
I see something hiding behind a pillar and staring at it.
Could it be that those big guys hid it because they were hiding it?
Guryunghwa seems to have all the ways to hide, but can’t
it be that the Volcano faction doesn’t teach them how to hide…?
Youngpoong looks at my reaction and says a little puzzled.
“You’re probably doing that because of that accident.”
“…what?”
Why are the old shoes popping up here all of a sudden?
Suddenly,
I remembered how surprised I was when I heard that I was a blood relative of Gu-ryeong-hwa in the companion who came to Hwasan.
‘Am I getting hated?’
If that’s the case, I’d be a bit annoyed.
It’s because I wasn’t sent out to be hated somewhere.
I turned my feet and walked toward the cluster of muscle masses.
“uh? uh? Small agreement…! wait for a sec…!”
Youngpoong tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen.
It’s not like I’m trying to pretend to be a proper bloodline now, but
seeing this with my own two eyes made me feel a little feverish.
As we got closer, we heard the voices of these great disciples talking.
Where was he so focused that he didn’t notice me approaching?
“…No, why are you trying to do it among the three generations of disciples?”
“So, shouldn’t we do something on our side?”
I wonder if those words are all about salvation.
“Everyone be quiet. Wasn’t that what the sister-in-law chose? Then you should respect it…!
”
“Are you saying this even with a dialogue? How can you trust those idiots
…
99
“In my eyes, you’re the most idiot, so please keep your mouth shut.”
“No…”
What did the three great disciples not believe in and what did they try to do among themselves?
I hadn’t even heard that Gu Ryeong-hwa was going through this kind of situation.
‘It must mean that the distance from me is that far.’
There was nothing I could say to Gu Ryeong-hwa because I did everything on my own.
I wondered if he would show more emotions than necessary.
While repeating the thought that this place is not a place that is not the same enough to turn everything upside down
.
After getting closer to a certain extent, he immediately started talking to the great disciples.
“What the hell is this doing…”
“Then what if Samae gets hurt…!”
“…do…?”
I was speechless and stopped moving.
The eyes of the disciples of this university turned to me, as if they had heard my words.
“huh?
99
“Huh? Gu So-hyeop?”
A cold sweat broke out on my back.
…what did you just hear?
