The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 940 (940/1020)
After meeting Cheonma, I walked down the street.
We didn’t really talk about walking and ended up walking.
It was almost like I was just walking and the horse was following me.
The conversation still isn’t happening.
I still wasn’t at a point where I could talk to Cheonma.
What conversation would there be with her in the first place?
If I try, I’ll probably just vent my resentment or swear.
The reason I’m not even doing that is because I’m being patient.
I thought so.
and.
It had to be that way.
I walked for a long time.
It wasn’t a very long walk, but it took a long time.
This is because I was looking around while maintaining short strides.
As always, the streets here are really reminiscent of the volcanic crater.
‘It feels like it was really brought over.’
It’s probably not what you expect, but it actually is.
It seems quiet but it’s bright.
The street now was filled with people’s voices, including laughter.
Every time I see it, I think about it.
‘How much I missed you.’
How much did Shin Noya miss this street and scenery?
How much must I have missed it to want to create this street myself?
I used to think about it from time to time.
I couldn’t think of any words to say, such as “miserable.”
I’m just a little annoyed.
Does that annoy me?
Or maybe I’m just annoying to someone else.
I guess, if you really think about it, you’re just annoyed with yourself.
“…”
The fact that Shin Noya has come to this situation is almost entirely my fault.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue and looked further into the distance.
Today, I had to check what I couldn’t do last time.

‘I think it was around here.’
Last time I was walking around, it was definitely around this area.
The volcanic cone itself isn’t that big, so it shouldn’t be that hard to find. But strangely, I couldn’t see it very well.
“hmm.”
I looked back, narrowing my eyes.
“Hey. You… .”
Just as I was about to ask Cheonma what to say, I had to frown as I looked at her.
“…What is that?”
“huh?”
In response to my question, Cheonma looked at what I was holding in my hand. It was a skewer.
Cheonma, who had been quietly watching, now offers me the end of the skewer.
“Should I give it to you?”
“…”
Do you know who asked for it?
I was so shocked that I couldn’t even speak.
‘When on earth did you bring it back?’
I just saw that you were clearly bare-handed. You must have grabbed a skewer while I wasn’t looking.
“…hey.”
“huh.”
“Did you pay for that?”
When asked if he had paid the price properly, Cheonma tilted his head.
“money?”
“…”
Judging from the reaction, it’s clear that he didn’t send it. It gave me a headache.
“I told you to just take it.”
“… Yeah, I guess that’s what you said.”
It is somewhat known that the Heavenly Horse and I were brought there by Shin Noya.
As you can see, Shin Noya’s position here is definitely not small.
That’s probably why they just give out food.
“Give me this right now.”
I didn’t want to be treated that way.
He took money out of his pocket and handed it to Cheonma.
By the way, the money was stolen from Gubong.
Honestly, if it were Shanxi, I would have just accepted it and left it at that, but this is Shin Noya’s territory.
I didn’t want to cause unnecessary harm.

Cheonma grabs the money I gave him, nods without saying anything, and runs back.
As I watched, I saw someone approaching me on the street shortly after.
I think I bought it there.
“…ha.”
As I was quietly looking at it, I couldn’t help but sigh.
The reason is.
‘…Is that the real Cheonma?’
That’s why I had this question: is that stupid thing really a Cheonma?
Looking at his face, it’s definitely Cheonma.
The body is also like a heavenly horse.
But what is that behavior?
‘Really… Really, something is strange?’
There is not a shred of dignity, and there is not an ounce of seriousness in his voice or actions.
It almost feels like I’m like Wi Seol-ah when I was young, but is that really the Cheonma I knew?
The more I looked at it, the less I understood it.
‘Where did it change?’
At first I thought it was something like that because it had only appeared recently.
When I reappear after going through something, I wonder if I will become the Cheonma I knew.
I thought so too.
‘There are only a few years left for that to happen.’
At most, two years.
When that point has passed, it will be the time when the original Heavenly Demon appears.
But.
‘If it’s still like that…’
Will the Heavenly Horse I knew become the one that I knew as time passes?
It was something I didn’t know about.
‘Or the good part.’
Rather, it would have been a blessing for me if the answer had been no.
I already had a headache from the Blood Demon thing, but didn’t the Heavenly Demon, which I thought was the biggest headache, collapse on its own?
If you think about it, it’s obviously a good thing.
‘If it collapsed, why?’
If the Cheonma of your past life and the Cheonma of your present life are different.
What could be the reason for the difference? If you think about it, the answer is simple.
‘It must be because of me.’
What’s the point of talking? Most of the strange things are probably caused by my actions.

‘So, where did the problem start?’
There are countless possible problems, but it is not easy to think of causes among them.
I’ve done too much.
“…”
That’s why I shook my head while thinking about what to say.
‘It’s hard to know anything even if you think about it now.’
Even if you know, it doesn’t mean you can return to the Heavenly Horse of that time… .
“…hmm?”
I opened my eyes without thinking.
“what?”
What was I just thinking?
“What can I turn back?”
Are you crazy?
If there is no Cheonma then it is good, why do you think about turning it back?
“This is crazy, really?”
Did you get hit by Noya last time and your head got smashed? What are you thinking?
It was something that could only happen if you were crazy.
“… Is this because I’m seriously struggling with something related to regression?”
It could have been. No, I believed it would be.
Because the turtle’s words caught my attention, I wanted to know what on earth Cheonma wanted from me and why he made me return.
That’s probably why I just had this thought.
Otherwise, it’s nonsense.
Why would I be curious about the Cheonma of that time when I regret nothing?
‘It’s one of the reasons my life went down the drain.’
The biggest reason was me.
Strictly speaking, Cheonma was the next most influential being.
“… Phew.”
As I was sighing again and gathering my thoughts in my head.
“I’m here.”
Cheonma, who had gone to pay for the skewers, returned.
I listened to her and looked at her.
He’s looking at me with a bright expression.
When I saw the purple eyes and white skin, I couldn’t help but frown. I reached out and grabbed Cheonma’s nose.
“…???”
The horse, whose nose was suddenly caught, opens its big eyes even wider.

The funny thing is, he doesn’t rebel.
Why are you just standing there?
“Who are you really?”
All these situations are complicated, I asked.
“…”
After hearing that, Cheonma didn’t answer. He just looked at me with his characteristic gaze.
That annoyed me so much that I clicked my tongue and took back the hand I was holding.
“Okay. What are you doing now?”
This isn’t the time to be doing this with him.
My hair was all messed up.
Meanwhile, the moving fingertips still tremble.
I tried to ignore it and walked again.
at that time.
“Your Majesty?”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice was heard from behind.
I turn my head and see a woman with white hair and cat ears.
It was Seol-yeong who was said to be the greatest disciple.
“I called just in case, is that right? But what brings you here…?”
“You should be the one to say it, why?”
“Oh, me.”
In response to my question, Seol-yeong shows me the luggage she was carrying.
It was a basket containing clean cloth and needles.
“I have to go to the blacksmith shop to get the fallen cloth and needle repaired.”
“Ah. Ah?”
I listened to what was said and reacted late.
“Why are you like that?”
“You’re going to the blacksmith shop?”
“Oh, yes.”
I also nodded at Seolyoung’s answer.
It just so happened.
That was the place I was planning to go anyway.
“I have to go too. Please take me there.”
So I spoke happily to Seol-yeong.
“Huh? Oh… yes. I see.”
Seol-yeong agreed with a somewhat hesitant expression.

******************
So I followed Seol-yeong and arrived at the blacksmith shop.
As I had expected, the blacksmith shop was not too far from where I was.
Bang-!! Bang bang–!!
There is a sound of hammering iron and a pungent smell of iron wafting from somewhere.
Because my sense of smell and hearing were heightened, I felt it more clearly.
“Hey, who is this?”
As soon as we step into the blacksmith shop, someone spots us and approaches us.
He was a very short old man, like the person who used to guard the gate.
“Isn’t it Seolyeong?”
“Nice to meet you. How have you been?”
Seol-yeong smiles and welcomes the old man’s words.
It seemed like we knew each other well.
“I’m thinking about getting a few more while I’m repairing the needles. Is that okay?”
“Oh, good.”
The old man laughed heartily at Seol-yeong’s words.
Then he looks at me and frowns slightly with wrinkles around his eyes.
“Who is this again?”
“Ah, this is… a guest brought by our chief.”
“Hmm. It’s him, after all.”
As soon as I brought up the topic of Shin Noya, he nodded in agreement.
I wonder what kind of person Shin Noya is here. I wonder how he got all those reactions.
As I was looking so amazed, a little old man approached me.
“Nice to meet you. I am Myeongsong, in charge of this blacksmith shop.”
Myungsong extends his hand as he introduces himself.
“Oh, yes. I… .”
Hearing that, I too reached out.
It seemed like they wanted to shake hands lightly.
I have some business to attend to here too, so it wouldn’t be a bad thing if we could get on good terms.
I can see you’re wearing something in your hand.
It wasn’t something to worry about, so I grabbed Myeongsong’s hand without a care.
That moment.
“Guyang… .”
Cheeeeeeek—!!!
“… Huh!?”
Advertisements
I let go of the hand I was holding, feeling excruciating pain.
I looked at my palm in surprise, my skin was sizzling.
“…crazy?”
What the hell is this all of a sudden? I look at Myeongsong again in an incomprehensible situation.
“…her…?”
Rather, Myeongsong looked more surprised.
No. Rather than being surprised…
“…dragon…?”
It was right to see that it contained fear and resentment.
That’s not all.
“What? A dragon?”
“A dragon!? What the…!”
Those inside the blacksmith shop immediately looked at Myeongsong’s words.
It was all of them, without exception.
“hmm….”
I thought about it while looking at it.
I had a feeling that things were screwed from the start.
