The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 1013 (1013/1020)
“hi.”
The horse waving its hand. I frowned as I looked at her.
It’s not strange for him to show up and say hello. I already know that what he’s doing is strange, so it doesn’t matter.
“… …What are you riding?”
The being that Cheonma was riding on right now. That was the problem.
I point to the black wolf shape with my hand, and the Heavenly Horse looks down, following my hand.
And then he looked at me again and said.
“friend.”
“……what?”
“friend.”
“friend?”
“huh.”
“… … With that? With you?”
“huh.”
What kind of crazy talk is this? Cheonma ate Kkureungi and his friend? I couldn’t even react properly to such a ridiculous talk.
-Krrrr.
At Cheonma’s words, Kkureungi lets out a soft cry. Is that a denial or an affirmation?
Until then, I lacked the ability to discern the meaning of that short cry.
So I just sit there and stare at him.
Suddenly, the goblin raised his head and looked at Cheonma. Their eyes met.
Then, the horse slowly got down from the man’s back.
Did they have some kind of conversation during that brief eye contact?
-Krrrr.
After that, the little guy slowly walks over to me and stops in front of me.
It really looked like a dog or a wolf.
The guy was staring at me with purple eyes that resembled those of a heavenly horse. I looked at him and narrowed my eyes as I asked.
“… … You, were you waiting for me?”
-Gurrung.
It’s a really crude cry for a beast. As he cries, the guy nods his head slightly.
It meant that he knew I would find him and had been waiting for me in advance.
What this means is.
“So you knew that too.”
This must mean that he also knows what his mother has prepared.
“Is it okay if I come out like this?”

I heard that it is located under the sacred tree. Is it okay for it to be like this? I asked curiously. The guy answered with actions.
Swish-!!
The body begins to change. It starts out as a wolf, gradually shrinking, and then changing into the shape of a small bird.
Then it flies up and lands on my head.
I realized this while looking at it.
‘It’s a clone.’
It’s not the main body. It seems that the main body was placed under the sacred tree and showed itself as a clone.
-Krrrr.
The guy is pointing somewhere with his beak. Is he telling me to move?
Move your feet in the direction your beak is pointing.
At that moment, as Cheonma reacted as if she was going to follow, Kkureungi looked at her.
“… … .”
The Heavenly Horse, who received that gaze, frowned and stopped.
Looking at this, I burst out laughing.
“Do we look friendly?”
“He’s my friend.”
“… … Okay. Make lots of friends.”
Whether we’re friends or not, that’s up to you.
He leapt forward slightly as if he was going to go.
My body rose and the distance between us widened. I felt eyes on me from behind. They were staring intently at me as I flew away.
I felt it, but tried to ignore it and moved away.
* * *
The location they moved to wasn’t that far away.
Even if you try, it is no different from the inside of a volcano. It is a location where you can see the sacred tree from afar, although there are few signs of life.
As you move a certain distance, the blob that was on your head suddenly falls down.
Gulp.
He lets out a distinctive laugh and as soon as he gets down on the floor, his appearance changes again.
This time it was a rabbit.
“… …What are you doing?”
Why does it keep changing its body? It was a bit strange because it happened to be in the form of an animal.
Kkururung.
He cries as if to tell me not to care… …How could I not care?
The way he was patting my big ears with his hind legs really looked like a rabbit.
I tried to ignore it and spoke to him.
“I came back from seeing my mother.”

-… … .
At my words, the guy stops moving for a moment.
Then, maybe it was an illusion, but he looked at me with calm eyes.
“He said if you have anything to ask, just ask me. He also said to tell me that he was grateful.”
-… … .
The bastard’s ears perk up at those words.
He continued speaking while looking at it.
“I have something to ask you.”
There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask him for a long time.
“You. Since when have you been inside me?”
-… … .
Since when has the master of the bottomless pit been inside me?
He also knows that it is his mother’s arrangement.
The problem is.
‘So since when?’
Since when did my mother’s arrangements become embedded in my body?
Was it before or after the regression?
In my previous life, I didn’t even know of the existence of the Abyss. It was the same even at the moment of my death.
So that’s why I asked him.
The guy who was quietly looking at me.
-From the beginning… … … .
This time he spoke to me in words, not in sobs.
It’s no surprise. He was the guy who spoke often.
The problem is.
“From the beginning?”
The first thing he mentioned. That was the problem.
“… … When did it start?”
It’s an ambiguous answer, so I decided to ask it differently.
“Before I regress. After.”
-… … .
He already knew that I had regressed, so he asked me outright.
Okay then.
-From the beginning.
He gave the same answer again, but this time the meaning felt distinctly different.
“… … You mean before you returned?”
Advertisements
Before I returned to death. It meant that the Abyss was in my body from then on.
“Why? What on earth were you in my body for? You… … No.”
He took a moment to consider his words and then asked again.
“Are you the Demon King?”
The power of the Heavenly Horse that brought me here.
Are you the one who embodies it? Or are you the one who gives me that power?
That was the question I was asking.
Crackle crackle.
The bastard shook his head at my words. I thought he was denying it.
-That’s a cover.
The guy spoke to me again.
“… … A cover? What do you mean?”
-Or shade.
“Speak properly. What do you mean by shade and blinds?”
-You shouldn’t have been the master. This is… … for that.
“… … !”
I widened my eyes after hearing the bastard’s words.
What does that mean? I shouldn’t have been the owner?
So you’re saying it was covered up with the magic suction cup?
What I mean is this.
“… … Does that mean that the owner was not there because of the Magic Heavenly Absorbing Force?”
At this, Mujeong nodded. The turtle said that he had twisted his soul and was deviating from his original fate.
Is the distortion here the magic heavenly suction?
Well then, that’s strange. I didn’t understand it.
“No way. Why would the Magic Heavenly Absorbing Force play such a role? This is… … .”
It wasn’t my mother who gave me this power, but it was the Heavenly Demon who gave me this power.
How can it have such an effect? Even the way he talks like that, it seems like the Mujeogang itself is related to the Magic Heavenly Absorbing Gong.
“That’s a strange thing to say. You were in my body at your mother’s request-.”
-no.
“what?”
Before I could finish my sentence, the abyss denied my words.
No?
‘It wasn’t because of your mother’s request?’
How could that be? Mother clearly said that Mujeogang was helping her at her own request.
But, if you say it’s not him, doesn’t that make no sense?

Just when I was about to be completely flustered by the contradictory words.
-I am.
The abyss spoke to me.
– Helping you out at the request of a friend.
“Friend? What is a friend-!”
He turned his head away without saying anything.
Friend? That word burrows into my head.
‘Friends… … ?’
A being who can be described as a bottomless friend.
At that moment, someone came to mind. Wasn’t there someone you had called a friend while looking at the bottomless pit just before?
“… … Heavenly Horse?”
A being who describes himself as a friend of the Abyss.
Plus.
‘The woman who brought me back.’
The demon from my previous life who had a direct influence on my regression.
It’s not my mother, it’s her… … .
‘… … Not only did I return, but I was also put a bottomless pit into my body?’
It was something I could never have imagined.
* * *
A huge cave located at the peak of Mt. Maryeong.
A quiet and serene place where not even the wild animals around cry.
This is a place where even insects would hold their breath and run away to avoid being near.
Don’t even breathe without his permission.
That was the rule set for Mt. Maryeong. If you offend someone, the whole mountain will shake, so be careful.
The rules set like that are ridiculous.
Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugu—-!!!!
One day, the mountain was shaking.
The vibrations that started at the top of the mountain spread out in all directions. The rough sound shook the mountain as if it were going to break.
Where is the center of this wild vibration?
As I dug and dug and dug into the cave at the top, I could see the cause.
Inside the cave, there was a huge, giant being sitting cross-legged.
The momentum emanating from it shook the entire mountain.
Kuhuu-!
Hooooo–!!
The being with the face of a human body and hands breathed air ceaselessly from its nostrils. With each breath, sparks were emitted.
Advertisements
“Kurrrrrr.”
A rough, low sob spread across the floor. His explosive momentum and bulging muscles, as if revealing his mood, were busy heightening his presence even more.
The being that had been shaking for a long time slowly raises its sitting body.
thud-!!
As the giant body moves, the surrounding area shakes.
The being standing upright with its feet firmly planted rolls its sparkling eyes.
Hooooooo-!
A lament filled with flames fills the floor.
Krrrrrr.
Beyond the cries that broke the silence, the General of the Ten Thousand Worlds spoke.
“The fool is dead?”
Krrrrrrrrrr.
The leader turned around and spoke. He was not talking to himself. There was a man leaning against the cave wall, remaining silent.
“Is that true?”
“It’s true.”
“Kuuuuu… … .”
Another general is dead. The commander lets out a voice at the fact.
The sound was almost ecstatic.
“You’re stupid.”
Who did it to you? How did it happen to you?
He had never heard of such a story. The mere fact that he had died made the leader laugh.
“What did the master say?”
“The master is currently away from his post. However, as he is omnipotent, he must already know.”
“Krrrrrr.”
“If this happens, there will be a vacancy, so we will have to bring in a new general… … but I think taking care of everything will be the priority.”
“solve?”
“Yes. Since the general has passed away, we need to resolve this issue before we can elect a new general.”
“Only one person died. Was it really necessary?”
The leader spoke as if it was nothing, and the man frowned at those words.
As always, it was difficult to have a long conversation with this guy.
“… … Okay. I guess I’ll get tired if I try any harder. We didn’t come here to discuss solutions anyway.”
Flutter-!
Black wings fluttered on the man’s back.
“Today is just a warning.”
“warning?”
Advertisements
“Yes, except for the one who stepped down voluntarily, this is the first death of a general in a long time. Since the master is busy, you should take care of yourself.”
“under.”
The leader burst into laughter at those words.
Kookung-!
When he laughed, the entire mountain shook violently.
“Do you think I’m like that guy?”
If you look at the simple things, it doesn’t seem like there’s much difference.
The man said, hiding his thoughts.
“… … It means that there is no harm in being careful.”
“Get out.”
The leader spoke to the man without hiding his displeasure.
“Tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue and moved his hand in response. As his fingers cut through the air, surprisingly, the dimension was torn apart and a body appeared.
“I’m telling you this out of concern, but don’t even think about moving around uselessly.”
The man reaches out his hand before he can finish speaking. At that moment.
KUAAAAAAAAHH …
A rough cracking sound erupted from the man’s palm. The leader swung his arm and attacked.
“I told you to get out.”
“……after.”
The man shook his head without saying anything and entered the torn dimension.
And so the man disappeared.
The leader, left alone, swung his fist once more in the direction where the man had disappeared.
Kwaaaaahh …
The wall collapsed under the harsh wind pressure.
“Kurrrrrr.”
The leader’s eyes sparkle.
There are those who kill generals. There are also those who can kill generals.
At those words, an idea came to the leader’s mind.
