38 – way back. (One)

way back (1)

It’s a strange ceiling.

Ah, what kind of clichéd and boring sentiment is this.

I never thought the day would come when I would think of these words.

It’s stuffy.

My head was dizzy and my stomach was throbbing.

In particular, the short circuit part was thrilling.

I barely raised my groggy body.

…Where else is this?

‘…I must have collapsed in Vigo.’

The magical perforation hole, which had been activated arbitrarily, sucked the energy from the beads the snake spat out.

I think I couldn’t stand it and passed out due to too much energy…

With a sudden sense of uneasiness, I returned the bet.

It was an energy that was overflowing. It was a really big deal if the power supply was damaged.

Whoop-!

“what… .”

I was startled by the heat escaping from my body.

Much hotter and faster.

I wanted to bet the same amount as usual.

The amount of bets that flowed inadvertently was much higher than expected.

3 stars.

Guyeomhwaryungong, who was only staying at the beginning of the 2nd star, went up to the 3rd star.

It wasn’t just 3 stars, it was almost the end.

The amount of internal energy in the body is quite nice.

The amount that could be obtained by steadily practicing the simbeop for 30 years was melted into the body.

‘I thought it was less than the energy I swallowed… .’

Thinking of the energy that flowed in at that time, it seemed like there were few people happy to see you.

The inside was very clean.

Is there any other energy that is so soft and full of power?

Even though I absorbed so much energy, I couldn’t feel any demonic energy.

Wasn’t it magic stone after all? Also, I thought that the flamethrower had swallowed demonic energy, but it didn’t feel like that.

The energy I felt in the danteon was really surprisingly strong.

The reason I couldn’t go to 4 stars was because my body couldn’t support me yet.

I thought I could quickly rise to 4 stars if I just continued physical training.

What level can you compete with now?

‘Namgung’s son is too much… . Gujeolyeop must be easy.’

From an objective point of view, it seemed that even Gujeolyeop would be able to preoccupy an equal or higher position in terms of non-seasonal standards.

The brain dragon is unreasonable.

Even if Namgung’s sword dance is familiar, he still won’t win if it was a real fight using bets.

‘But where is this again?’

I checked that there was nothing wrong with my body and looked around.

I could feel the unique bitter scent of medicinal herbs that I felt a little bit on the shabby-looking furniture.

“young master!”

“Ugh!”

As I was staggering, something pounced on me.

It was a hypocrisy.

“Bocchan, are you okay now?”

“…get out of the way for a moment.”

What is the reason for crushing the patient while asking if he is okay?

Urgently, the stomach was removed.

Fortunately, seeing that he was so strong, he didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere.

So, I asked what to ask first.

“A snake? What happened to Vigo?”

“A snake?”

Wiseol-ah tilts her head as if asking what I was saying.

What? It was such a big snake, but why did it react like this?

I asked Wiseolah again in a strange atmosphere.

“The big snake I saw in Vigo.”

“Yes… ?”

“…I do not remember?”

“yes!”

“Since when I can’t remember… No, where do you remember?”

I thought it was strange, so I asked in a different way.

Wiseol-ah rolls her eyes.

It had big eyes, so I could see it moving around.

“From the time I followed the young master!”

“…What?”

Then it’s just everything… ?

Was both Vigo and the giant snake actually hallucinations?

‘That’s not right.’

That said, neither the increased inner strength nor the improved martial arts could be explained.

Then, is it also the snake’s fault that Wiseol-ah can’t remember?

‘I dare… . What for?’

It was unknown.

“You really don’t remember anything?”

“yes… . When I woke up, I was sleeping with the young boy on the mountain!”

“What kind of…”

drooling.

I opened the door on the left and someone came in.

He was a stooped old man with white hair that showed his age.

“What is it, how hot is it here?”

An old man comes in and gets nervous. The hot reason is probably because I turned the bet for a while.

The old man who came in looked at us and said.

“I feel like I woke up.”

“…Who are you?”

“After sleeping for two days, I finally woke up.”

Two days…?

“You mean I slept for two days?”

Considering that I found Vigo in one day, it meant that I had exhausted the time I had exactly planned.

“Yeah, it looks like there’s nothing wrong with your body, but you thought you were dead because you kept sleeping.”

“…May I ask where this is?”

“Can’t you see me? You’re a member of the legislative branch, so it must be a doctor’s office.”

Where in the world should I feel like a member of parliament?

A long bent back in shabby clothes that looked far from hospital clothes.

If I had to look at it, should I see the subtle scent of medicinal herbs as evidence?

“Are you feeling okay?”

the old man asked.

“Yes…it’s fine.”

The old man says it’s a medical clinic under the mountain, but how did you get here?

According to Wi Seol-ah, when she woke up, she was lying on the side of the mountain where there was a tree, not Vigo.

So, did the old man find us and bring us here?

The old man quietly brewed the medicine and asked.

“Why were you sleeping on a cliff so dangerously?”

Cliff… .

It must have changed to a terrain with maple trees standing tall on the plain.

Turned into a cliff again? It was full of situations that I couldn’t understand.

First of all, thank you to the old man.

“…Noya, thank you. Did you save us?”

“It’s a piece of cake to ask for it, but thank the girl next to you. Your face is fair, but your strength is strong. I have brought you down from here on my back.”

When I look at Wi Seol-ah at the old man’s horse, Wi Seol-ah puts her hand on my waist and makes a confident expression.

You brought me down from the height of the mountain to here?

“Oh, thank you.”

“Yeah!”

Same with the stamina that followed me at the gate. Does being born invulnerable mean something like that?

They make fun of her round and round every day with jokes, but after all, Wi Seol-ah was on the thin side.

I live with something in my mouth every day, so I just look relatively round.

What kind of power comes out of that thin arm… .

The old man touched my arm, which was engrossed, and said.

“Your body seems to be fine now, so let’s go out soon. The room is small, so I can’t keep it for long.”

“…Ah, thanks Noya, thanks to you, I was able to wake up safely from a dangerous situation.”

“Heh heh, the young guy’s tone is loud… … .”

Even if he looked young, it was not an easy thing to put an unknown person to sleep for two days.

Wi Seol-ah is chewing on something unknown next to her, and perhaps that was also given to her by the old man.

“…what the hell are you eating?”

“Uh huh? Grandpa Cheon gave it to me as a snack!”

Grandpa Thousand?

Wi Seol-ah seems to have already finished with the old man and Tong Seong-myeong.

The old man answers my question instead.

“It’s nothing special, I just gave you a few hemp roots that I didn’t use because they weren’t effective. It’s the only thing I could give you because it’s a village doctor’s office.”

…Three roots? Can hemp root be ineffective?

It’s surprising that they gave it to me, but I’m sure it would be very useful if I sprayed it, but Wi Seol-ah, who casually ate it, was more unusual.

I thought you only liked sweets. It seemed more omnivorous than I thought.

“sorry… .”

“It’s okay, stop apologizing and go home. Your parents will be worried.”

Are your parents worried?

Thinking of his father, he gave up those thoughts.

There was absolutely no such thing as great.

It’s probably not anyone, but Muyeon, who is waiting trembling.

I turned around and said to the old man.

“Since I came out in a hurry, I didn’t bring many things…”

“Huh? Don’t worry about how much money the kid has, it’s just a boring old man doing it because he’s bored…”

After rummaging around, what I finally took out was a silver coin.

Fortunately, I seem to have brought this much.

Tuk Tuk Clink!

The old man fell silent as he looked at the silver coins that he hurriedly took out of his bosom and fell to the floor.

It’s roughly the equivalent of two silver coins.

“First of all, this is the only thing I have… I have something to give you… .”

Scared to speak, the old man grabbed my hand.

The old man’s eyes also look more serious.

What are you trying to say?

After a moment of silence, the old man opened his mouth.

“…Sohyeop, you can stay longer if you want. Ah, I can’t believe I served a precious guest and couldn’t bring out a cup of medicinal tea…! Wait, you old man, I tend to brew a pot of medicinal tea!”

“…”

I was glad that you seemed to like it.

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

The old man almost half-forcedly refused the medicinal tea he was trying to brew and came out.

It was quite embarrassing to keep trying to squeeze something.

Fortunately, it seemed that it was broad daylight, so I could start right away.

The body is much lighter than before, perhaps because of the increase in internal energy.

If I make a bet, I might be able to go to the village I wrote down in the book right away.

“…Isn’t that a bit overkill?”

I thought it would be possible if we split up and run, but I think we should be a bit self-respecting, even if we see Wiseo-ah coming after us.

‘Isn’t it, in fact, wouldn’t Wisul-ah be able to follow?’

I wondered if it would be possible considering what I had followed in the past, but I wondered if it was possible with a body that had no internal energy.

While I was inactive, I checked inside Wi Seol-ah’s body.

It was still the same.

Because there was not a single handful of bets on Wi Seol-ah’s battle.

Then how?

Wiseol-ah said she had no memory, so I didn’t know what happened after I collapsed.

what was that snake

How could that happen if you came back to the cliff?

What was that grotesque truth?

And… . And… .

I stopped walking slowly.

The most important thing was that it came to mind.

“…Hey…”

“yes?”

“Hey, hey, Yamyeongju!”

“yes… ?”

tremble

There was so much Yamyeongju… I couldn’t bring any of that much.

Thinking about that made me want to sit down and hit the ground right away.

‘…No, since Vigo disappeared anyway, wasn’t it actually something I couldn’t bring back?’

I’m trying to think positively that it’s already too late.

So, what beads did I get…?

“…”

“young master?”

“…it’s okay. I got dizzy for a while.”

Originally, it wasn’t mine… It’s enough to think that way, but it wasn’t easy for people to be cunning.

Looking at me like that, Wi Seol-ah smiles.

“young master! Your expression is ugly.”

“What a harsh word that is… .”

“But, it’s really ugly… .”

People are disturbed, but such harsh words… .

Wi Seol-ah had a more vicious side than I thought.

Then, Wi Seol-ah lightly grabbed my sleeve.

Looking for something, I point to the restaurant I passed by earlier.

I saw that and asked Wi Seol-ah.

“hungry?”

“…I’m hungry, but when the young boy’s expression looks ugly, eating dumplings makes me feel better!”

“Oh, eat me… .”

You’re hungry in the middle of it, but you… .

To be honest, I could eat it, but there was not much iron left.

Looking at the situation, it seemed right to arrive quickly.

What should I do, really run?

I think it’s possible in my current state.

I was worried while watching Wi Seol-ah, who kept holding on to the sleeves.

“…I have to run, what should I do with you?”

“yes… ? me, me! very good run… .”

“Should I carry it?”

“….ah?”

“what?”

What do you think you just said?

I didn’t seem to hear, so when I asked back, Wiseol-ah sat down.

I was holding onto the hem of my sleeve, and when I sat down, even I was shaken.

“Ah, ah, ah!”

And something awkward screamed out.

“What, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“Damn, my leg hurts! I must be hurt!”

“What… ? Then it’s a big deal, shall we go back to the doctor’s room soon?”

“You are in a hurry! No, it won’t be seriously hurt.”

“So you can walk?”

“….what.”

“….Well?”

What do you want?

It’s the first time I’ve seen Wi Seol-ah worry so deeply.

After hesitating for a long time, Wiseol-ah whispered in a very low voice.

“up… . Please pick me up.”

As he said that, his ears turned red.

When I saw it, I was surprised without even realizing it.

‘…Does he feel ashamed too?’

I thought you couldn’t feel it…

“hahahaha!”

It was funny, so I burst out laughing.

Wiseol-ah vomits with a ‘profit’ sound.

I slowly lowered my body and gave my back to Wi Seol-ah.

Wi Seol-ah’s hand carefully wrapped around my neck and pressed my body closely.

The warmth that touched her back grabbed Wi Seol-ah’s legs and raised her body.

I made fun of Wi Seol-ah in that state, as if the bad heart was circulating.

“It’s heavy.”

At the words of laughter, Wi Seol-ah immediately screams in surprise.

“It’s not heavy!”

“It is very heavy… . It’s almost like holding a rock.”

“It’s too much… ! I want to get off!”

“I’ve already heard that, so that’s not okay.”

when was it

I think this same situation happened once.

It wasn’t as soft as it is now, and it’s something Wi Seol-ah won’t remember.

I remember that time alone.

I will remember it alone in the future.

It wouldn’t be nice to see it happen again.

After carrying Wi Seol-ah on his back and putting on a bet, he kicked the ground.

I jumped faster and higher than I thought, and I was immediately taken aback.

I thought Wi Seol-ah would be excited at the passing wind, but she quietly buried her face in my back.

I thought I could just run to my destination like this.
