The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 915 (915/1020)
“What are you?”
I asked, looking at Gubong who appeared out of nowhere.
“…”
The guy didn’t answer my question.
I frowned at the sight of that guy.
His face was swollen shut and his eyes were bloodshot.
Needless to say, who made it? That’s not what I care about.
‘You’re already walking?’
Gubong has already recovered enough to walk. I focused on that part.
‘You didn’t beat him up that easily?’
I was careful not to kill them, but that doesn’t mean I was being too gentle.
Since it was also a way to vent my anger, I put my emotions into my fist and smashed it.
‘The playback speed is definitely faster.’
When I saw him standing there after recovering all that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Why? Now that you’re up, why are you trying to stick it out again?”
He said, nodding his head.
“There’s no second chance. Next time, you’re really dead. Understand?”
I saved your life once, so there will be no second time. Gubong’s shoulders flinch as he gives a sincere warning.
He swallowed his saliva lightly.
“… I didn’t come here to fight.”
He speaks as if he is explaining something.
You didn’t come here to fight? Then what?
“…I have come to guide the nobles according to the orders of the Great Jangmunin.”
“what?”
His frown deepened at those words.
‘guide?’
By the way, the old man said he would hire a guide. Was that Gubong?
“Is this old man really crazy?”
It was ridiculous.
Why did you have to choose Gubong? You want me to guide a guy who got beat up for holding ill feelings toward me?
The old man seemed to be out of his mind.
Gubong flinched slightly at my words. I looked at him and asked.
“Why? Are you angry because I cursed at you so long ago again?”
“…”

As I spoke sarcastically, Gubong bit his lip. Then.
“I’m sorry.”
Suddenly, he bowed his head to me and handed me an apple. I looked at him with a blank expression.
“what are you doing?”
What the hell is this kid? Why is he acting like this out of nowhere?
“… I was consumed by emotions and did terrible things to you. I sincerely apologize.”
“hmm.”
I nodded my head briefly at the sight of Jeong Su-ri apologizing.
I think he should just come to his senses and apologize.
‘Noya must have done something.’
Life’s story couldn’t have been that smooth, so it was obvious at first glance that Shin Noya had done something.
So that’s why I was kicked out as a guide.
‘But I don’t think it’s completely insincere.’
Tch.
He sighed and clicked his tongue briefly.
“It doesn’t really matter. I was the one who got beat up.”
If you say I did something bad, I did more than that. They never did anything.
So, it didn’t really matter if I received an apology. I had already gotten rid of all my ill feelings when I first got hit.
hani.
“Just know one thing.”
This is simply a warning.
“As I said before, there is no second time.”
As he breathed out his last breath, Gubong’s shoulders shook violently.
“… I will keep that in mind… .”
After hearing the answer, I decided to live. After that, I snorted and approached the guy, saying:
“So, what are you guiding me about?”
When I asked what I should receive guidance from Gubong, this time Gubong slightly widened his eyes.
“What is that…?”
“You said you would guide me. What are you guiding me about?”
“Or, you didn’t hear any explanation?”
“Oh, they kicked me out right away?”
“…”
Gubong looks embarrassed after hearing the words. I can tell by looking at his face.
‘You didn’t kick me out without even explaining it? That’s what you look like.’
Yeah, Shin Noya, that old man is really weird, right?

“Do you know what the situation is right now?”
“…”
“I’ll explain as we go. Anyway… I think it would be wrong to go back in.”
Since I didn’t think I could go back, I had to go somewhere and think about it.
******
I walked along Gubong with Cheonma.
What’s strange is that there is a road right there, but they ignore it and go down the mountain path.
Although the road was rough, I didn’t feel it was that difficult because I had the stamina.
Crispy.
Climb up, clearing away the branches in front.
In the meantime, Gubong continued to talk to us without stopping.
“Now I go once every two weeks to get groceries.”
“foodstuffs?”
“exactly.”
“It looks like you also farm. Do I have to go get it separately?”
“Most things can be found internally, but seasonings and other specific items are difficult to obtain.”
“Well, I guess that’s true.”
Considering that the surrounding area was mostly mountains, it would be difficult to save them all, but that’s possible.
“Why are there three of them going…?”
If the purpose is to procure food, then it’s clearly a trade trip, but why are only three people going? I don’t understand that.
Even though it was just to procure groceries, he was going empty-handed. I wonder if he should have brought a cart that he could carry something in.
“You don’t have to worry about that. They call it procurement, but the actual work is ultimately escorting.”
“Escort?”
“Yes. It’s my job to escort the disciples who are returning after preparing groceries.”
“… Ah. So.”
He said, holding his forehead.
“You’re going to kick me out right away and tell me to guard the kids who bring me food?”
“…exactly.”
“Are you really crazy?”
I was wondering what great thing they were forcing a troubled person to do, but that’s all they asked me to do?
It’s ridiculous.
“That, Seol-yeong, the great disciple? You said that all the great disciples are outside. Are they all doing that?”
Gubong’s expression darkens slightly at my question.
“No, only some of the disciples are doing this work. The other disciples are in charge of important work.”
“hmm.”

It’s not like they all went out to get food. I guess that’s fortunate, if anything.
But, coming here, one thought crosses my mind.
‘It’s one thing to be kicked out. It’s another thing to be told to go out and guard the food.’
Whatever Noya’s intentions were, I had faith that he wouldn’t do anything that would be poisonous to me.
The problem is.
“Where on earth do you get all that groceries?”
If you can’t make something in-house and have to procure it from somewhere else, where do you get the necessary items?
Well, I was wondering if there was another village.
“It’s the Night Moon Palace.”
“Yawol Palace?”
“It’s a country located in the north.”
I was amazed when I heard Gubong’s words.
…is it really true?
‘Well… it’s funny that in this vast land there’s only Noya’s volcano faction.’
I never thought about it. There was so much to know that I didn’t even think about it.
‘Yeah. There might be other places.’
In a way, this is obvious.
On the contrary, it is strange that Shin Noya created the volcano faction in Man-kei.
‘I made it, let’s just say I made it… Then, what on earth are these people gathered there?’
The fact that all kinds of life forms gather in the volcanic crater.
Even to the point where there was friction with the curtain and the leader.
What on earth did Shin Noya do here and what was his position?
That suddenly struck me.
anyway.
‘After all, we’re heading towards a different group now.’
Another country in the world that is not part of the Volcano Sect.
-Come and see for yourself.
That thought and Noya’s words are mixed in my head. If I say that I’m not interested regardless of the situation.
That was a lie.
***********
After that, we walked for about half a day.
I just walked. That means I didn’t even run, let alone do any light exercise, I just walked.
No, why aren’t you running? Asked out of frustration, Gubong answered.
-This is a rule established by the long-suffering man to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
This is something decided by none other than Shin Noya.

Is it legal to walk to another place? I was very curious, but I didn’t point it out.
Come to think of it, I remembered that Noyado took us to the volcano crater.
There seemed to be a reason. Yeah, there had to be a reason.
Yeah, that’s right.
Soft-!
Can’t you understand this fucking ear?
I opened my eyes and looked at Cheonma at the sensation I felt on my head.
“…hey.”
“huh?”
“Who is secretly touching me?”
“I got caught.”
“You got caught? You touched it so openly, what are you talking about?”
It’s ridiculous.
Are you saying that you thought I wouldn’t get caught if you reached out and touched me while we were walking together?
“Put it away.”
“Since you’ve been caught, can’t you touch it a little more?”
“go away.”
“okay.”
Cheonma steps back, putting his hand back as if he feels sorry. What is it, really?
“ha.”
I’m dying from this annoyance. I keep worrying about the tail and ears.
Do I have to wear this for three days?
I really wanted to take it off right away. No. Should I just take it off now?
Will it hurt if I try to pull it off with force? But wouldn’t that be better? That’s when I really started to worry.
“We’ve arrived.”
He stopped his hand at Gubong’s words, who was walking ahead.
I looked straight ahead in that state.
The mountain path is still covered with bushes, and something can be seen beyond it.
“…her.”
I burst out laughing as soon as I saw it.
When I saw the volcanic cone that Noya made, I thought, ‘It’s incredibly large.’
I didn’t even think about that after seeing this.
‘This is crazy.’
It was enormous. It was incomparable to Noya’s volcanic crater.
‘If you think about it, it could be similar to Hanam, right?’
Advertisements
It is so wide and huge that it is barely comparable to the entire city.
It’s literally one country.
That thought just occurred to me.
While I was looking at it, I couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Your Majesty. I will tell you again, you must remember.”
He speaks to me as if he is worried about Gubong.
When I heard that, I replied as if I was going crazy.
“Oh, I know. Just keep your mouth shut. Don’t worry, I’ll really stay quiet.”
You should never open your mouth unnecessarily.
It was something Gubong kept saying all along.
“I’m doing everything you asked me to do, so how many times do you have to tell me? Look, you even changed your clothes.”
I took off my original clothes and was wearing the Hwasanpa’s martial arts uniform.
The same goes for Cheonma.
Didn’t you say I had to change into this to get in?
I didn’t worry about it because it wouldn’t be a problem to change clothes.
I’ve been hearing people tell me to be quiet.
“…You must be very careful.”
Gubong kept repeating to me what he was so worried about.
“Okay, I understand.”
“really….”
“Would you like me to tell you more?”
“…”
As I spoke, growling in annoyance, only then did Gubong close his mouth.
His mouth is shut, but his eyes are filled with anxiety.
When he saw that, he clenched his fist and Gubong turned his head and moved forward again.
After walking a little further, the entrance to a huge wall came into view, and countless people could be seen coming and going through the entrance.
What you see is not much different from the inside of a volcano.
Beings with ears and tails, such as Gubong and Seolyeong, were seen in unusual numbers.
If there is a difference… .
‘It’s all yours.’
In the volcano, there were many unknown beings other than beasts and humans.
I didn’t see anything like that here.
I followed Gubong while watching that.
After that, Gubong approached the entrance and approached the people standing in front of him.
It was a beast-man holding a spear.

As Gubong approaches, they react.
He grabbed the window and looked straight at Gubong. Gubong spoke to them.
“I came to ask for permission to enter.”
“Who are you?”
“It’s a volcano.”
“volcano?”
The word volcano brought a change to the expressions of the gatekeepers. I frowned slightly at that.
Because the expression on his face was annoying.
“What is the purpose?
“It’s about getting groceries.”
“The number of people.”
“There are three.”
At Gubong’s words, the gatekeeper looks in our direction.
He quietly looked Cheonma and me up and down.
For reference, Cheonma was covering his head with the wind veil that Gubong had given him.
The hermit checked my ears and the swaying tail of the horse and said to Gubong.
“permit.”
After hearing the words, Gubong takes something out of his bosom and shows it to him.
The gatekeeper checked it here and there and nodded.
“position.”
“Thank you.”
Gubong enters with an example.
Fortunately, it seemed to have been resolved without any problems.
I’m trying to go inside slowly.
“Pfft.”
Suddenly, laughter passes by.
At the same time, as I was going inside, I heard the doorman calling out to me.
“You idiots.”
He must have said that while looking at me.
What the heck are these kids?
‘Should I sell it?’
I clenched my fist.
