185 – Cheonan. (3)

Cheonan. (3)

[This method is too risky.]

I think Noya answered firmly.

It’s the same as the one the host I met just before suggested it.

Didn’t even the blood demon tell me to come find me?

‘Won’t you find out when I go?’

[Do you want to put your feet in a place that might be behind enemy lines? Didn’t you know better how dangerous it is?]

Even more so, the blood demon seemed to have already noticed about me and was interested in me.

‘I’m not saying I’m going to do it right away. That’s just one way.’

As Noya said, he himself knew how risky this was.

However, Noya would also know that it was possible to do the opposite.

‘It’s not easy to find the easy way, isn’t it?’

The only thing I could sympathize with in the conversation with the room manager just before was the blood that would come.

I’m still not sure if what the host said was about the Heavenly Demon.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t something I could overcome by struggling alone.

Even more so if the power of what you don’t know is greater than what you know.

‘Don’t worry, my body is the most precious person for me.’

[Oh, is my body the most precious, so I roll around like that?]

‘It was pretty dry, but what… .’

… is not it?

[Tsk… .]

At my words, Noya finally clicked his tongue. I just meant not to talk about it.

I spit it out lightly, but it’s something I have to think about properly other than entering the meteor.

‘I’ll have to look into it a bit more before deciding.’

I don’t know if it’s something worth looking into.

If Shaolin and Opening are already using their hands on Meng’s side, it will probably be difficult.

‘Did my father say he would know?’

It was the words that came out of the head of the room, so I had to ask first.

Right now, I had to get out of Shaolin quickly.

I was going to go back anyway, and now that work is over… .

“ah.”

While continuing to walk to get out of Shaolin, he spat out a single sound.

Namgoongbia, who I was walking with, also looked in my direction.

I took Namgoongbia’s hand and pulled out the heat and put it in.

“… ?”

Namgoongbia looked at me wondering what she was doing, but I spoke to Namgoongbia in a slightly impatient voice.

“Wait a minute. It won’t be cold enough.”

“yes… ?”

“I’ll be back soon, so stay still. Understand?”

At my words, Namgoongbia nodded slightly.

It must be embarrassing, but I still haven’t asked why.

[Where are you going?]

‘I’ve got some business to do.’

[In Shaolin… ? In this situation now?]

‘Yes.’

I immediately kicked off the ground and jumped up, leaving Namgoongbia standing bewildered.

To use a bet to kill the presence as much as possible.

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

In the room where the two met, Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong opened his closed mouth and spoke.

“Chairman.”

It was toward the moderator who was quietly sniffing tea.

“May I ask why you told the boy that far?”

“Reason.”

dragging

The dry smile of the old man showed the age.

The story of bloodshed was a story known only to a very few in Meng as well as in Shaolin.

There was also a story that the host himself was silent.

It was something that didn’t deserve to be known to the world.

The host kept quiet, and soon gave an answer to Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong.

“I simply felt like I should have done that.”

“… host… .”

“Did you see the child’s reaction?”

Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong changed his mind at the director’s words and remembered Jinryong who had just been sitting.

Contrary to the bad rumors that he had heard before and the inaction he had shown at the festival, he was a moderately modest boy who knew how to take action.

“… You mean asking questions?”

“When I heard about the bloodbath.”

At the words of the headmaster, the beard of Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong shakes slightly.

I wanted to know what to say.

However, when the host’s words continued, he had no choice but to swallow his breath.

“It was dumb. On the contrary, he seemed even more surprised when he heard about the meteor.”

“… !”

“It’s as if you already know about blood cowardice. It felt like that.”

Swoop-

A thin stream of smoke escapes from Cheonan’s mouth.

This was a delay due to a bet. It means that the chieftain’s life is running out.

“To say that he had no fear of bloodshed when he was young, isn’t that look in his eyes amazing?”

It was different from the dark-skinned woman sitting next to her.

The girl didn’t seem very interested in worldly affairs in the first place.

Unlike my blood relatives, who have the Namgung surname.

It’s like white jade.

Even Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong, who had lived his entire life as a middle schooler, could tell that his eyes and attention were only on the boy next to him.

How could he do that even with the head of Shaolin right in front of him?

‘A boy’s eyes.’

That’s the part I didn’t pay much attention to.

Ji-su, who showed an outstanding figure in this non-fighting title, and in that respect, Cheon-bong possessed a surprisingly well-centered body… .

“I hope he will join us.”

“… I don’t quite understand.”

The world seen by the master who owns Cheonan was a part that Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong could not dare to understand.

That’s because it didn’t come to me.

Also about the blood coward that Cheonan is talking about.

I didn’t know how huge the blood pressure was coming, leading the boss to move like this with his rusty body.

said the boss.

Blood will come, but he probably won’t be there.

So that means you need to be more prepared.

Looking at the headmaster who calmly speaks of his end but promises the future of everyone.

Gyeok Cheonbong couldn’t say anything.

“Because he had a will, he must have given me responsibility too. So you have to accept it.”

The head of the room said that he was responsible for his Cheonan. When it comes to him, Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong thought, of course, that Buddha’s will was included.

“Cheonbong.”

“Yes, host.”

“I have to go to the maeng.”

“Haven’t you been there before? Get some rest.”

I said it because I knew the president’s physical condition, but I knew it.

That the host wouldn’t listen.

“We don’t have much time, so we have to hurry.”

Does the little time remaining mean the time until the bloody assault strikes?

Or is it telling the moderator how much time is left in his life?

Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong did not dare to ask about this.

“… I will contact the meng.”

“Please.”

After Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong disappeared, Cheonan, who was left alone, sat quietly with his eyes closed.

The sound coming through the window frame and the winter wind cover the small sound in the quiet silence.

Cheonan’s head was filled with the boy he had just faced before, without even a moment to feel it.

‘It’s hot. a lot.’

It’s not that you can’t see with your eyes closed.

Cheonan allows you to see more because your eyes are closed.

It was full of sights that even Cheonan himself could not understand.

This time was especially special.

‘But it’s all black.’

It is infinitely hot, yet full of darkness.

Even in a scene full of contradictions, there is a strange harmony.

Is that why?

Cheonan’s eyes seemed to speak.

to keep an eye on the boy.

Though it is dyed with thoughts about what the hell it is.

I decided that anything would make sense in the end.

“… All of this will be the will of heaven.”

May the one will stretch for a long time and eventually lead to peace.

Cheonan closed her eyes and hoped that the rest of her life would add to that.

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

Squeak squeak.

Someone is sweeping the floor with a slightly smaller-than-average broom.

No matter how much you hit him, he’s a grown-up boy who looks like he’s barely 10 years old.

It was Hee-young, who was in the position of the youngest of Shaolin.

“I thought I could work again… .”

Hee-young, who was sweeping the yard, lamented in a low voice.

It was because others were not entrusting Hee-yeong with the work because of an incident that happened in the past.

‘I said it was okay… .’

For some reason, Hee-yeong’s memories of the past ten days had disappeared. When I woke up, I was shocked to see the ceiling of the hospital room.

After that, I checked it by going to the doctor’s office.

There were no major problems with the body.

The reason for the memory loss, the congressman said, seemed to be due to overwork.

Is it because of that?

Thanks to Hee-yeong’s usual behavior, which was working hard not to damage her affairs.

Hee-young was forced to take a break.

Although the shocking words came out saying that you shouldn’t even practice martial arts until you feel comfortable.

Heeyoung had no words to say at the words of her seniors.

‘The executioners must be working hard at this time… .’

Heeyoung felt sorry for that. In addition to the late initiation, I had to work harder as I was young.

“Really, why can’t I remember?”

I couldn’t understand.

It was said that it was due to overwork, but it was because Hee-young didn’t seem to be moving that much.

Rather, it was more difficult right after I came to my senses.

For some reason, there was discomfort as if I hadn’t moved my body for several days.

‘In the words of the brother-in-law, they said they were living the same way as usual.’

It was frustrating because he couldn’t remember.

In the end, as Heeyoung now, there was nothing she could do but sweep the yard.

‘This way, at what age… .’

Many people call Hee-young talented, but it’s just something Hee-young can’t understand.

The boy wanted to be the center of Shaolin.

It was too big a word to say it was ambition in a small body.

Swipe.

‘I don’t think it’s going to work out right now… .’

Hee-young sighs and sweeps the yard. The inside was complicated, but the action was meticulous.

It was because of the teachings of the brother-in-law, who said that not only the person himself should be clean, but also Shaolin, which contains his body, as well as being clean.

Tuduk

“yes?”

Something caught on the broom I was sweeping the yard with.

It was because he felt a different texture in the pile of fallen leaves.

Heeyoung removed the fallen leaves with her hands, wondering if a small rock was caught on them.

Then, a foreign object was hidden among the fallen leaves.

“This… .”

The subtle touch at the end of the broom was not a rock.

A thin book.

Heeyoung picked it up carefully.

I opened the book to see what it was.

“… uh?”

Seeing the contents inside, Hee-young’s eyes widened.

Or, I wonder who left it, so I look around right away.

No one was seen around.

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

It was around one o’clock when Bia Namgoong waited alone.

It’s scary that Guyangcheon said that this level of heat is enough.

By the time the heat in the body disappeared, Guyangcheon reappeared.

“… Why are you doing that?”

Yangcheon Gu asked towards Namgoongbia.

That’s also true, because Namgoongbia was squatting on the floor.

My legs wouldn’t hurt just by standing there.

“where… I’ve been… .?”

When Guyangcheon appeared, Namgoongbia slowly raised herself up and asked.

“I just have some business to do.”

There was a hint of tiredness in his characteristic blunt voice.

When I thought of only one meal, Guyangcheon’s inaction. It was not a time to get tired easily.

Either he made a bet and moved violently.

On the contrary, I made a lot of bets and moved rather carefully, or one of the two.

Whatever it was, I wondered if Shaolin would move like that.

“…”

Namgoongbia said nothing.

He just cautiously approached Gu Yangchen and reached for his hair.

Little by little, he picked something up from between his reddish hair and pulled it out.

“Falling leaves… .”

“Ah, I think he buried it on the way.”

Guyangcheon quickly snatched the fallen leaves from Namgoongbia and threw them away.

While throwing it, he said in a small voice, ‘When was this buried again, no one has seen it?’ whispered the same thing

“Hungry. Let’s go.”

Gu Yangchun said that and took Namgoongbia’s hand.

The kids have already arrived and will be waiting for you at the dorm, so you need to hurry.

back.

“Well?”

As I tried to move at a slightly faster pace, Namgoongbia became hardened like a stone and did not move.

“what’s the matter?”

“… slowly.”

“What?”

“… slowly… . go.”

Gu Yangchen frowned slightly, not understanding Namgoongbia’s words, and Namgoongbia carefully wrapped her arms around him.

“… two… Because… . just a little bit slower… .”

“…”

Gu Yangchun’s mouth shuts tightly at Namgoongbia’s cautious or shy words.

At this time, Namgoongbia could see. Gu Yangchen’s ears turned slightly red.

Seeing that, Namgoongbia smiled slightly.

I would like to go later than this, but due to the nature of Guyangcheon, it will not be.

Namgoongbia knew that what he cherished included many others, not just himself.

It was a small greed nonetheless.

It just seemed like a good situation.

“it’s okay?”

Namgoongbya looked at her and asked, and Guyangcheon let out a deep sigh.

“… You, where did you learn this?”

Namgoongbia is taken aback at Gu Yangchun’s words.

And then he answered in a very low voice.

“… Soyeol… .”

Even so, it seemed impossible to lie.

Yangchun Gu laughs at Namgoongbia’s reaction.

“I keep learning strange things. Not a kid.”

“…”

“Let’s go for now.”

At the end of the talk, I move my steps.

Namgoongbia could tell from that gap.

It means that Yangcheng Gu did not reject his words.

He didn’t even let go of the arm he was holding.

It was because my walking speed was significantly slower than usual.

I felt something tingling inside of Namgoongbia at such appearances.

The heat that Guyangcheon gave me earlier must have disappeared.

“Oh, I think we’re leaving tomorrow. Is there anything else I need to do?”

Namgoongbia nodded at Gu Yangchen’s words.

In the first place, Namgoongbia had no intention of moving to Hanam.

I just followed him because he came here.

‘… Cheonjun is… .’

Then, all of a sudden, Namgoongbia remembered her younger brother.

I haven’t seen it since the untitled, so what happened?

After Dalian with Guyangcheon, around the time of treatment at the doctor’s room, I watched from a distance.

After all, he was my brother.

Namgoongbia tried to think for a moment, then erased it immediately.

‘… Fine… I will.’

For now, this is the end of my thoughts.

To put other thoughts in my head. It was because it was filled with someone’s face along with the sword.

that someone said

“… I’m hungry, can’t we go a little faster?”

“…”

“Okay, don’t stare at me like that… .”

At the words he spat out carelessly, Namgoongbia hugged her arm more as if punishing her.
