The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 956 (956/1020)
Gulp.
It seemed like thunder was coming.
The air is twisted and an unknown energy seeps through.
Thump-!
My heart pounded wildly and my energy surged up.
It was a defense mechanism. Not only did my body react on its own, but the energy spread throughout my body through my blood vessels.
Of course, it is surrounded by self-defense weapons.
Wow! Wow!
The ring of the Nine Flame Wheel began to expand and rotate.
The fever rises and the scalp becomes hot.
‘…what….’
What is this feeling?
It is too heterogeneous to be simply defined as hostility or murder.
But I was used to calling it a purely external sensation.
‘Is it witchcraft?’
I decided to think of this feeling as a kind of magic.
If so, should I express it as speculation through sorcery?
The manifestation of speculation is betting and emotion, and the intensity of this depends on the level of the caster.
If so, the energy needed to manifest the spell is something else.
‘Is this the result?’
Speculation as sorcery.
And the change that intertwined with the turtle’s realm.
If that’s the current situation.
‘That’s fun.’
Regardless of why the turtle was reacting that way, I found the situation interesting.
Witchcraft is a complex power, and it is an unknown power to me.
‘You can use it like this too.’
That sorcery can be used in this way.
When you know that, it feels completely different.
‘What’s the difference?’
The pressure continues to grow stronger and is gradually affecting me.
I concentrated all my mind and figured out how it was manifesting.
‘It’s fundamentally different from a bet.’
In that case, the method of expression will also be different.

How about we look at it from a witchcraft perspective?
Heart pounding.
He gave strength to his heart and created the thread of magic.
It doesn’t seem like there was any direct pressure, like using a bet.
If we really want to look into it.
‘Disarray. Or anomaly.’
And change.
Changing the truth into a lie.
Or making a lie into truth.
That was the logic and power of magic that I saw.
‘This too, in the end.’
Rather than putting pressure on it as speculation, isn’t it making it seem like there’s pressure as sorcery?
It seems like a very common pun, though.
Swish-!
I moved my energy according to what I realized. At that moment.
Tsk tsk tsk-!
“…!”
The phenomenon that the turtle was creating was cracked.
They are clashing as if friction is occurring.
“iced coffee.”
I smiled with joy as I looked at it.
“So this is how you do it.”
“…her.”
Jeoggeuggeuk-!
In the midst of a clash between phenomena.
The turtle looks at me and bursts into laughter.
“… He really is an outrageous guy.”
As the turtle spoke in frustration, the pressure I had been feeling seemed to subside.
I clicked my tongue in regret at that.
‘I think it could have been done a little more.’
Just a little more.
If I could feel a little more energy, I think I would have known for sure.
‘Should I just endure it for now?’
Given the circumstances, I had to endure it for now.
at that time.

“What are you thinking about right now?”
The turtle’s words brought back the spirit that had been lying on the floor.
“Oh. Right. What were you talking about?”
“…”
The turtle looks dumbfounded at my words.
“… I was talking about how your mother is the ruler of the universe.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Right. That’s what we were talking about. I nodded and remembered.
I said that I had to learn about witchcraft if I was going to see my mother.
The turtle heard that.
“Did you say Yo-ho?”
He called his mother a witch.
“Is that your mother’s name?”
“… Don’t you even know your mother’s name?”
“You didn’t specifically call me that. I guess you might be called something different here.”
“…”
The turtle makes an incomprehensible expression at the indifferent words.
Because it was a being with no expression, it was difficult to recognize it.
A little while passed like that.
“… That’s not it. Calling me Yoho is just a nickname.”
“Is it a nickname that only the elders call you? Or…”
“There must be someone else who calls me that too. However.”
Knock knock.
The turtle tapped the floor with the stick he was holding.
“I wonder if he’s still alive.”
“…”
It was a cold and sad voice at first glance.
It wasn’t good.
‘If that’s the reaction… .’
Doesn’t it seem like our mother did something?
‘Hmm.’
I wonder what my mother did.
I’m secretly curious about that, but I won’t keep it to myself.
‘I don’t think it would be a good idea to ask.’
It’s better not to ask unless you’re asked directly.

“… Phew.”
The turtle exhaled repeatedly as if trying to control his complicated emotions.
I just stare at him silently while he repeats his breathing.
“… This is ridiculous.”
The turtle finally looked at me and let out a frustrated voice.
“You can tell just by looking at me that I don’t have good feelings for your mother. Do you plan on sitting here anyway?”
“No, what… .”
If you look at it, it’s a story that you already know well.
“It wasn’t my fault. Even if it was, it was my mother who did it.”
“…”
The turtle makes a dumbfounded expression at the confident words.
“Are you a shameless guy?”
“You say I’m shameless? I’m being confident.”
He said with a shrug.
“I was equally surprised when I heard that my mother was a great nobleman here. I didn’t even really want to come.”
This is half a lie. When Gu Yan Hualun Gong ascended to the Great Star, he made a promise with his father.
-If you master the Gu-Yeom-Hwa-Run-Gong, he will tell you where your mother is.
That was the deal my father and I made. As soon as I heard it,
‘I was going to go find my mother.’
Because I was planning to go to where my mother was.
but.
‘I didn’t exactly mean to see it only for my mother.’
The purpose wasn’t just to see his mother.
It’s true that I missed you terribly.
‘Because there was something more important than that.’
For now, other circumstances took priority over my longing for my mother.
‘…I had to know what was going on with my tail.’
I thought my mother would definitely know. Also.
‘I had to check about the new sword too.’
When I saw her traces at Shinryongwan.
It was the first time that the mother appeared and intervened in the matter.
My mother told me to absorb the dragon and put it into my body.
‘I don’t know what happened after that.’
From then on, the mother did not come out, so the whereabouts of the new sword were unknown.
I came to see my mother to find out.

however.
‘… It’s a bit weird that you don’t even remember me.’
But isn’t it too much that he might try to kill his own son without even knowing his face?
It was equally clear that this was an unfair situation.
therefore.
“Please help me.”
I needed the strength of a turtle.
“… How did the story flow like that?”
The turtle frowned at my words. It seemed to think that the conclusion was strange.
What’s weird?
“I need to see my mother. To do that, I need to learn sorcery. You’re the only one who knows.”
“No, I mean… why should I help you?”
“Hey, you could help me out a little.”
“… So you’re just saying you’re going to have a blast?”
You’re smart.
As the conversation continued, the expression on the turtle’s face began to disappear.
“You have a grudge against your mother, so help me, your son?”
“yes.”
“Even you think that’s a very strange thing to say.”
“It is strange, isn’t it?”
I won’t deny it. It was definitely an unreasonable request.
but.
“So. Don’t just ask. Let’s make it a deal.”
“transaction?”
I became interested in the turtle’s expression.
“Yes, it’s a deal.”
“What kind of deal are you talking about?”
“Elder, please teach me the spell. Then I will do as you request.”
“…What?”
For a moment, the turtle’s expression loses interest.
“I have nothing to ask of you, so how can that be a deal?”
“Anything will happen.”
“her?”
“Whether it is a request related to your mother or a request regarding yourself, Elder, I will grant it.”
“…”
Advertisements
One of the turtle’s eyebrows twitched. He concentrated on it.
That’s nonsense.
How can that be a deal? A turtle can argue like that.
But now, rather than arguing, he was lost in thought.
What this means is.
‘You have a favor to ask of me.’
Or that it could be.
I won’t miss this.
“As long as it’s not something like, ‘Kill my mother.’ or ‘Fight.’ I’ll listen to you.”
“…Keep on…Kill me? You’re talking nonsense.”
“Right? I guess it’s a bit unfilial….”
“No matter how many times you die and come back to life, you can never kill your mother.”
“…”
Oh, that’s the problem.
He scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Is my mother really that powerful? After all, she is the ruler of a world… .
‘Then is it stronger than the Blood Demon?’
I suddenly became curious, but I erased it from my mind.
This wasn’t important.
But.
“… isn’t it.”
The turtle pauses for a moment, thinking about what he just said.
After that, the turtle thought deeply.
“I see. Maybe… maybe not.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“… You said you would grant me a favor?”
“Yes, except for the things I mentioned earlier.”
“Or whatever?”
“I’m a little nervous when you say anything.”
“Tell me for sure.”
“I’ll listen to it later and if I don’t like it, I’ll reject it. But I’ll accept most things.”
“… Really? Okay, I understand.”
The turtle reacted as if it understood. This time, I saw it and asked a question.
“Do you understand that if you don’t like it, you can reject it?”
What that means is that if I feel like it’s not for me, I’ll reject it.
Advertisements
The turtle responded as if it was okay.
“It’s okay. Anyway… Just make sure not to reject me.”
“… Hey.”
Wow, that’s a really scary thing to say.
Should I just quit now? I was thinking about it for a moment.
“I will regret this in the end.”
The turtle spoke to me.
“My stubbornness is making me do things I shouldn’t do. I guess this is fate.”
The turtle squeaks and gets up from the chair he was sitting on. At that moment.
Hwaaak-!
Suddenly the surrounding scenery changed.
The place where I was sitting inside the tea house was a plain.
A field full of life and greenery.
There was a turtle and I standing on it.
“I will ask.”
The turtle spoke to me.
Strangely enough, his voice resonates with sincerity.
It feels like it’s slowly flying in and digging deep into my heart.
“What do you want from me?”
It’s creepy. And sticky.
It seems as if the vibrant fields could turn into a swamp in an instant.
The confrontation with the master is as sharp as two swords meeting each other.
A face-to-face encounter with a turtle feels like a clash of seasons.
Sometimes it’s cold.
Sometimes it’s hot.
Sometimes it’s cool.
Sometimes it’s damp and dark.
A feast for the five twisted senses.
The feeling of encountering a turtle was a transformation.
I felt that way and said to the turtle.
What do you want to achieve? The answer has already been decided.
“entire.”
Everything, without leaving anything behind.
I thought I would get everything from him.
