The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 895 (895/1020)
When I think about my mother, honestly, I don’t remember much.
I was so young and it’s been decades since then, so there are only a few things I can do.
One is that he especially liked winter.
Whenever it snowed, my brother and I would always hold each other’s hands and walk through the snowy streets.
Did you say you like pure white? I think that’s what you said.
And. That’s why I liked white flowers too.
I think I just liked everything that was white.
but.
‘We loved our hair.’
My mother, who loved white things, strangely liked our black, black hair too.
Didn’t you say that it was fortunate that our hair was black, while our mother’s hair was pure white?
It’s so absurd. My mother really did say that.
It was a happy time.
If I think about it, every day was like that.
Those were days when I had no worries and just enjoyed spending time.
-Son. Are you okay?
-yes.
On snowy days, I used to sleep on the veranda, on my mother’s lap.
My mother’s arms were warm.
However, despite such warmth, all of the Gu family members were very hot-tempered, but my mother, who liked winter, often felt cold.
What was the reason you said? I remember it as something really strange.
Oh, right.
-Mom, it’s cold without fur.
I think I said that.
I still don’t understand it… I think it just means that I feel cold a lot.
anyway.
I liked that kind of mother.
No, it would have been.
I can’t remember the details so I’m not sure, but I believed it was like that.
‘therefore.’
I guess I still dream about that time.
A dream that you probably can’t go back to and will only miss.
-Our son.
“…”

I can feel the texture of my hair.
Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time since I had this dream, but the feeling is vivid.
The caressing hands were gentle.
It’s like really being stroked… .
“…”
I had a strange feeling.
‘Doesn’t it seem too real to be a dream?’
It’s subtle. I felt it and slowly opened my eyes.
“ah.”
“…”
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was purple eyes looking at me and a familiar pretty face.
“hi.”
I immediately get up at the expressionless greeting.
I opened my distance and glared at my opponent.
“iced coffee.”
Cheonma reacted with regret to my actions. I frowned at that.
“…What are you?”
It felt like a vivid dream, but it seemed like I was cutting Cheonma’s lap until now.
He scratched the back of his head with a very annoyed expression.
Rot.
How did it end up like this?
‘Did you lose your mind?’
I think that’s what it was like. I recall my last memory. Before I lost consciousness… .
“…!”
I remembered.
‘Blood horse.’
The moment I came to find Cheonma, the Blood Horse came. Cheonma and Blood Horse fought.
I took out the white flame to stop it… .
‘The moment I saw that, the blood demon tried to kill me.’
The blood demon that had been smiling ominously hardened its expression as soon as it saw Baekyeon and tried to kill me.
At that moment.
‘… Mother appeared.’
My mother appeared, wrapping her arms around me.
To be exact, it was just energy. But it was definitely my mother.
He even appeared and subdued the blood demon.
Advertisements
‘That monster….’
I had a gut feeling the moment I saw the energy.
What I’m saying is that the Blood Horse is a much more distant entity than I expected.
But, if she can suppress such a blood demon, does that mean her mother’s status is higher than that?
No. More importantly, from the beginning.
‘It seemed like the two knew each other.’
It’s a problem that the two people have a common denominator.
I’ve known for a long time that my mother was no ordinary person.
Haven’t you already heard it?
‘disaster.’
If the Blood Horse was the first disaster, then the mother who appeared after it was the second disaster.
One, both of those existences failed and that is what is called the current world.
In this situation, is there any reason why the mother and the blood demon would know each other?
‘The blood horse called his mother Man-gye.’
All worlds.
Lord of all worlds.
That was also the way Muah described his mother.
It means that mother is also the master of her own world… .
‘Let’s say that’s true…’
How could my mother have appeared at Shinryongwan too?
And what will it mean when it disappears?
‘I told you never… to look for yourself.’
why?
I couldn’t figure it out. At that moment, I frowned and expressed my doubts.
“are you okay?”
“…Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue briefly at the voice I heard from before.
‘Yeah, there was this one too.’
There’s more to think about than just your mother and your blood horse.
It was time to check with the Cheonma in front.
That’s what the Blood Horse did. He said that Cheonma was his daughter.
“you.”
I was about to ask a question while thinking about that.
“…”
For a moment, he scrunched his face and looked around.
Advertisements
Something was strange.
“what?”
I realized it too late.
“Where is this?”
It wasn’t the original field.
Where did the space where you could see everything in all directions go? The surrounding area is filled with trees. Even.
‘What is this tree?’
The tree was strangely thick and huge.
The appearance was also like that. It was a type of tree I had never seen before.
If it’s this big, it should be considered an old tree… Is it possible for old trees to be crowded together like this?
If you look for it, you might find it, but as far as I know, there is no forest like this in Hanam.
furthermore.
‘Why is the air like this?’
Even breathing feels awkward.
The air felt much heavier and more concentrated on my body.
‘… The air volume is this much?’
The amount of bet accumulated through breathing was several times higher than usual.
It’s so weird, it’s too weird.
It’s not a place I know. That’s what I mean.
“Where on earth have you brought me?”
Did the Heavenly Horse bring me here? Let me say it with certainty.
“…?”
Cheonma tilted his head and expressed his doubts. It seemed as if it wasn’t him.
“Don’t be a jerk. If not you, then who…”
As I was about to add my argument, Cheonma raised his finger instead of answering.
I was on guard, thinking he was going to attack, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
A hand pointing to the sky.
I looked up at that.
“What do you want me to see?”
I looked up, but all I could see was the starry night sky.
‘What? Are you trying to figure out how long I was unconscious?’
I lost consciousness when the sun was setting, and now it was night. I felt like I had been out of consciousness for an hour or two.
I judge that and look more closely at the night sky.
“uh?”
As I looked closer, I saw something strange.
Advertisements
Hwaruk-!
As soon as he saw that, he quickly lit a fire and went up into the sky.
Climb to the top of a tall tree in an instant.
Then the vast expanse of sky came into clear view.
“crazy….”
I checked this and spat out the station.
“What is this?”
The Milky Way clearly visible across the night sky.
The Milky Way, strangely beautiful, had a purple glow flowing through it for some reason, and the aurora borealis shimmering above it was breathtaking.
How can such a distant landscape be?
Even though it was the first time I had ever seen such a sight, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“…under….”
At the center of that cluster of stars, the moon floating in the sky was the problem.
No, to be exact, it wasn’t just the moon, it was ‘the moons’.
“Shit.”
There were two moons in the sky, a blue moon and a purple moon.
****************
I have experienced many processes in life.
I tried giving up on being human, killing my father with my own hands, and even going back in time, so I thought there would be nothing more surprising in life.
Oh, I was really surprised when that smart-alecky bastard turned into a kid who looked like me, but that aside.
Anyway, I thought that since I’ve experienced everything there is to experience, there wouldn’t be anything surprising about it.
“life.”
I had to sigh, realizing my arrogance.
It seemed like there were still many things in the world that I didn’t know about.
It’s fucking true.
“ha…”
A sigh escaped me.
It had to be that way.
After wandering around for about an hour, I returned to the starting point after wandering around for quite some time.
Now it was finally time to admit it.
“Where the hell am I…?”
At first, I thought it might be a new world like Bukhae.
‘…There wouldn’t be two moons there, right?’
Even though I hadn’t been there, I knew there was only one moon.
If not that.

‘Is this the work of the Blood Demon?’
I wonder what the Blood Demon did to me.
Why wasn’t it there? I wondered if that guy had done something like that to me, just like the time my senior had sent me in my previous life.
‘If I look at it that way….’
The last energy that enveloped me was not that of the Blood Demon, but that of my mother.
Then is it my mother’s doing?
‘…Why me?’
If it were up to my mother, there would be no reason for her to send me to a place like this.
‘Ugh.’
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know. That’s all I can know.
‘This is not the Central Plains.’
I guess this isn’t the world I knew.
It may sound like some kind of nonsense, but there was no other answer.
The old trees spread out all around you that you see for the first time, or the difference in the air that you can instinctively feel.
Going further.
‘It was strange from the start that there were two moons.’
Two moons floating in the beautiful night sky.
After all, at least this wasn’t the Central Plains.
Ouch… I have a headache.
“Phew… .”
I touched my forehead at the absurd situation. Have I now come to another world?
Then how do I get to where I was?
‘Tomorrow is my father’s court date.’
In a situation where it would not be enough to overturn the entire Murim Alliance, there was no room to waste time here.
‘And there… .’
I looked back.
‘Even with that attached?’
I see a celestial horse following me.
“hey.”
“huh?”
At my call, the heavenly horse looked at me.
“Why do you keep following me?”
“I’m not following you.”
This isn’t following? It’s been stuck for almost an hour?
“Then what is it? If you’re not following me, then what? Am I following you?”
Advertisements
“It’s not about following, it’s about going together.”
“… plague.”
I feel like I talked for nothing. My head just hurt more.
“Get out. I have no desire to hang out with you.”
“okay.”
“…hmm?”
It’s easier said than done.
what?
I looked at Cheonma again with doubt. Contrary to what she said, she wasn’t leaving for anywhere.
“Why aren’t you going? I said I understood.”
“I told you I didn’t want to hang out with you. Now I’ll follow you.”
“… This is really fucked up.”
This is ridiculous. Are you even calling that a word?
“If you’re following me, if you’re hanging out with me, get out quickly because it’s disgusting.”
“no.”
“This crazy bitch is really….”
I turned around, gritting my teeth. I was already so angry, but that thing kept scratching at me.
A moment to lift your spirits and give yourself strength.
“I don’t know the way.”
Cheonma spoke to me with a confident expression.
I’m going to turn back.
“Then I don’t know? I don’t know.”
I don’t even know what this place is. Do you think I know the way? Cheonma nodded after hearing my answer.
“Then we should go together.”
“I told you I don’t like it. Why can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“We have to go together.”
“No… Okay, that’s enough.”
I really need to fight back. With that in mind, I took a step forward.
but.
“Then I will protect you.”
“…”
Stop.
I had to brace my legs for the horse’s advance.
-I will protect you.
I think of the Heavenly Horse that tried to protect me from the Blood Horse’s attack.
Advertisements
I also remembered myself gritting my teeth while looking at that small back.
I feel like shit.
“Fuck.”
He frowned and spat out a curse.
“What do you mean, protect? Do I look like someone who deserves to be protected?”
“huh.”
“Answer me with confidence, you piece of shit. Get out of here, I don’t need you. How many times do I have to say this? I told you I find you disgusting. I can’t learn anything without killing you if we stay together.”
“doesn’t care.”
It was an answer without hesitation.
“Does it matter to you that I’m going to kill you?”
“huh.”
Cheonma’s expression didn’t change at all.
“If you want. That’s okay.”
“…”
I really felt like I was going to pass out.
Why on earth is it doing this to me?
‘Did something go wrong while returning?’
The Cheonma I know was never such a lacking being, was it?
Although I did use methods that were so ignorant that I wondered if it was even okay to do so, I wasn’t an ignorant person in everything I did.
“So, let me go with you.”
The current Cheonma was a completely different being than the one back then.
“…ah.”
My head really hurts.
Should I just leave it alone? No, even if I leave it alone, will it really come off?
‘I don’t think so.’
Now that I look at it, it looks like he had no intention of leaving.
‘Then is it really better to kill him?’
Wouldn’t it be better to just get rid of it since it’s annoying?
All sorts of thoughts were rolling around in my head. After thinking about it for a while, I said with annoyance.
“… If you bother me, I’ll kill you for real, so just keep quiet.”
The devil’s eyes widen.
And then he nodded.
I felt a sense of joy.
‘This is ridiculous.’
Is this really Cheonma?
Advertisements
I wonder if I was mistaken. It must have been so bad that such a thought crossed my mind.
‘Is this right…?’
Why did you allow it? I couldn’t understand it myself.
It would be better to kill him right here and now. Even though I couldn’t chase him away, I gave him permission to follow me.
‘Was I crazy too?’
He doesn’t seem to be in his right mind. I’d rather he’s crazy.
‘So, it would be better if everything I see now is an illusion.’
I desperately hoped and hoped. I could even pray with all my heart.
but.
Keuggeuggeuk—!!
“…!”
Something happened that proved to me that my earnest desire was not a dream.
Gugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu—!!!
The floor shook. It was a truly tremendous vibration.
Cheonma and I also met eyes.
From that spot, both of them leaped into the sky.
Same as before. I climbed to the top of the tree and took a position.
The sky and moon I first saw were still the same.
Even when I looked at it again, I thought it was a beautiful scenery.
“…under….”
Under such a sky.
[Goooooooooooooooooo—!!!!]
A black aura of enormous size appeared above the ground.
I narrow my eyes intensely at that.
The distance must have been quite far, but it was so clearly visible.
‘Is it a monster?’
It was too big to be called a monster.
It’s the first time I’ve seen such a huge monster since I was born.
It was so big that my head was already touching the clouds.
[Goooooooooooooooooooooo—!!!!!]
Is this the sound of crying? I looked at my hands and they were shaking slightly.
It has an overwhelming presence.
What on earth is that?
What on earth could possibly be emitting such a presence? I quickly racked my brain over the unidentified entity.
‘… Should I get out of here first?’
At least it seems impossible to get close.
So, at that moment, I thought I should get out of the location.

[Kuraaa …
“…huh?”
I turned my head again and looked at the monster.
That should never happen.
“Kkureungi…?”
Something felt familiar.
