The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 962 (962/1020)
“What on earth did you see?”
The woman stands on her white toes and slowly walks towards Yarang.
As I got closer, the scent of flowers in the room became stronger and stronger.
Yarang, with his head bowed, moves his hand.
It seemed like he was trying to write something on the floor.
“Stay still.”
At the woman’s words, Yarang’s movements froze.
He remained still, his body frozen, as if following orders.
Then the woman came and stroked Yarang’s hair.
“My daughter.”
“…”
“I think it would be better to see it for myself now.”
When the woman said that with a bright smile, Yarang lowered his head a little more.
It was as if he was creating a comfortable position for stroking.
As soon as he took that pose, the woman stopped stroking his head and placed her palm on his crown.
Okay then.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu–!!!
A breath of energy seeped out of Yarang’s head and ran up the woman’s arm.
It was a beautiful magenta aura.
The energy that rose like that slowly seeped into the woman.
“hmm.”
The woman swallows all her energy, spitting briefly.
A short while later.
“This is strange… .”
The woman opened her closed eyes and looked at the wild boar.
“This is really strange.”
Even then, Yarang did not raise his head.
The woman whispered while looking at such a wild man.
“Why can’t I see it…?”
The woman’s expression was slightly frowned, and it was obvious that she was uncomfortable.
The reason is none other than this.
What the woman did now was to swallow Yarang’s memories and confirm what she heard.
‘I can’t see anything.’
Surprisingly, things that should normally have been visible were not visible at all.

No, it’s nothing.
The sound of the owl moving. That’s what she heard.
Even the scents and sensations she smelled.
Most of the memories were brought and acquired.
‘…hmm.’
Strangely, I feel like some parts are missing.
Especially the last part was almost empty.
A wild goose heading somewhere. The gaze that wild goose was sending.
The space where the gaze was directed.
At the end of the footsteps that seemed to have found someone.
All of the acquired memories were obscured as if by a black fog.
When the fog finally cleared after passing through the memories.
It was when Yarang was walking alone, soaking wet in the rain.
“hmm.”
The woman who confirmed this tilted her head. It was the first time she had experienced something like this.
My memory is obscured. It’s a memory that wasn’t obscured even within the sacred tree.
‘What could it be?’
What kind of situation is this? I don’t understand.
So, the woman lifted the yarang’s chin by moving her fingers.
The masked face raised its head, and the woman reached out with her other hand and grabbed the mask.
Swish.
The mask that was on falls off.
The splendid appearance inside was revealed.
Thud. The woman who had dropped her mask to the floor stroked Yarang’s cheek.
“Daughter.”
“…”
“What is this?”
There was no answer when I asked her what was wrong. But the woman didn’t care.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to answer anyway.
“You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you…?”
There is a possibility that you are fooling yourself. That is not impossible, but it is possible.
The woman judged the probability of that to be low.
If that were the case, I should have known right away.
“Hmm.”
What happened? Did this child really see something?
Advertisements
Such doubts arise.
Whoosh. The woman suddenly let go of Yarang’s hand and turned her back.
The tail that had been wrapping around the woman’s body swayed as she moved.
But.
The ancient tail that filled the room begins to change little by little.
It gradually decreased in size, and soon became so small that it was no longer visible.
The woman, who had sat down naturally with her tail down, looked at the yarang again.
“Daughter.”
“…”
“I guess something is up. Isn’t it?”
This time, there was no answer.
In that part, I had to feel a strange feeling as a woman.
It’s the same as usual not answering, but normally, at this time, you should have responded with some kind of action.
but.
The current Yarang was just quietly looking at the woman.
The woman’s eyes narrow slightly as she confirms that.
There’s something.
I was so sure of that.
“Hmm… .”
Should I just keep asking like this?
Or is there a reason why you can’t answer?
Normally, it would be right to throw it away since it can’t answer to its owner.
Of course that’s what should happen.
The woman couldn’t do that.
I don’t know about other beings, but I couldn’t do that to Yarang.
-No matter what happens, cherish her like a daughter.
That was the perception engraved in my soul.
The woman did not question why this perception had arisen.
It was natural. Thinking that way was natural to me. There was no need to even question it.
Swish.
The woman who had been sitting got up again and continued walking.
The place I headed back to without any color was next to Yarang.
“Daughter.”
The woman called Yarang in a quieter voice than before.
“Get up.”

After hearing the words, Yarang got up.
At that moment, something suddenly appears on Yarang’s body.
It was a cloth that covered the head.
And this was also applied to women.
What’s going on? While Yarang was quietly watching her.
“It’s been a while since we’ve gone on an outing. Let’s get ready.”
“…!”
Yarang’s eyes widened at the woman’s words.
The master who floats above the sky.
He declared that he would come down to the ground himself.
**************
At a point when the pouring rain had subsided somewhat.
Funny enough, I had to go back to the volcano again after drying the clothes using the heat.
Even if we had just continued on like this and headed towards Yawol, there wouldn’t have been any major problems.
Since I had been through something like that, I had to find it at least as a concept.
Even if that’s not the case.
‘I have to tell you what I saw.’
I needed someone to ask about what I was going through.
That was the only one for me in this world.
“…Why did this guy come here again? Didn’t he go out?”
Shin Noya, who was drinking tea in his quarters, glares at me.
Next to me was Gubong, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“They say it’s raining outside. Why do you look fine, Aesong? What’s going on?”
Shin Noya, who was continuing his speech, looked at my face and immediately changed his words.
I lightly brushed my face at that attitude. Is my expression really strange right now?
He said, trying to calm his expression.
“… It’s nothing special. I just came here for a bit because something came up.”
“Day?”
Shin Noya frowned at my words.
“yes.”
“I’ll be out.”
As soon as I agree, Gubong gets up.
It seemed that he had realized through past experiences that it was a position he should not be in.
Gubong looks at me, bows his head, and leaves.
I felt like his attitude was a little different than before.
Advertisements
I wondered why he was doing that, but since Gubong wasn’t the problem, I let it slide.
When we were left alone, I said to Noya.
It was an explanation of what had just happened.
**************
After that brief summary, Noya asked me with a distorted face.
“… That kid was Yarang?”
One of the generals named Yarang is a new sword.
That was the reaction I got when I gave that explanation.
“yes.”
“…”
When I nodded, Noya looked at me and suddenly let out a deep sigh.
“My dear… .”
“yes.”
“You always bring up ridiculous stories when you say they’re nothing special.”
“…”
I smiled awkwardly after hearing that. Now that I think about it, that’s what happened.
“You’re coming and it’s not going to be easy.”
Should I say sorry? I’m having a hard time deciding what to say.
“… Are you sure?”
Noya asked and I nodded again.
“Yes, that’s for sure.”
It’s not just that the faces are similar or anything like that.
I don’t know about other people, but I knew.
The feelings I got when I saw her, the energy I felt from her.
At the same time, the appearances that were seen when fighting the Heavenly Horse were also shown.
Everything was saying that Yarang was a new sword.
When I told Noya about this, his expression also became serious.
“How can that be possible?”
“You didn’t even know, Noya?”
“Then how would I know? If I knew, I would have told you.”
“…”
That was right.
“So, do you know how long it’s been since Yarang has been active?”
“I don’t think it’s been that long. At least it existed before me.”
So, does that mean there was Mankei before Noya?
Advertisements
That means it’s been at least a hundred years.
‘What on earth is going on?’
How could she exist here?
No matter how I think about it, it would be right to view them as beings that only resemble each other in appearance.
‘no.’
I didn’t think so.
The eyes of that time. The energy of that time. Even my feelings when I saw it.
Because everyone was saying that Yarangi’s sword was right.
“That kid… hmm.”
Noya also continued to drool as if he didn’t understand.
He keeps stroking his chin and showing that he is thinking hard.
And then.
“… So. By the way.”
Noya looked at me and asked.
“Even if that’s the case, what do you want to do?”
“…yes?”
“If you are sure that the child is here, what are you going to do now?”
“…”
Rather than saying that Yarang might be a divine sword.
What do I want to do in the future? It seemed like that was what Noya considered important.
If so, what would be my answer?
This was already decided long ago.
“We have to meet.”
We have to meet. We have to meet somehow.
If I confirm its existence, even if I am sure of it, is it really true?
And how come he looks like that?
I had to check all of that.
In order to do that, it was ultimately something that could only be known by meeting the new sword.
When I answered like that, Noya asked me another question.
“So, are you planning on waiting? Until that child shows up again?”
“…”
I couldn’t give an answer to this question right away.
I needed some time to think.
Of course, even so, it didn’t take long.
“…I will go look for it.”
Advertisements
Find it wherever you are.
When I think about it, it might come again if I waited, but I wasn’t good-natured enough to quietly wait for it to come.
furthermore.
“Anyway… If you want to know the situation, you have to find everything, right?
Even if you catch a wild boar and ask him about it.
I knew that there was someone else who was responsible for creating this situation.
‘at that time.’
The last time I had a brief encounter with the divine sword.
The being who advised me to hold onto what was about to disappear in my body.
‘mother.’
My mother.
The highest being of this world.
I believed she would be well informed about the current situation.
It had to be that way.
‘at last.’
The reason I came to Man-gye.
The relationship between Man-gye and Hyeol-ma.
Secrets about me too.
Furthermore, regarding the new sword.
It was no different from having to meet my mother to find out all these things.
‘We need to increase the speed.’
In order to see my mother, I felt like I needed to hurry up and do the things I had planned to do there to ask Noya.
If things continue like this, I’ll be so frustrated that nothing will get done.
Each one of them stirred up heat in my head as my confidence grew.
This must have been the case from the moment I saw the new sword again.
The cause of my particularly anxious feelings and my fever that kept rising was the same.
“… Anyway, that’s the situation. If there’s something that Noya doesn’t know, I’ll take that into consideration.”
He stood up as if he was done talking.
If there was little information to be gained from Noya right away, now was not the time to be doing this.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Yawol.”
There was something I originally wanted to do, so I had to head back to Yawol to take care of it.
So, let’s tell them the destination. Suddenly, Shin Noya also got up.
“Noya?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Advertisements
“yes?”
Let’s go? Where?
When I said this out of the blue, as if I was puzzled, Noya added to me with a nonchalant expression.
“Let’s go, Yawol.”
“… Are you going to Noya too?”
“okay.”
Knock knock! Noya said, shaking off the uniform he was wearing.
“I guess I should go too this time.”
“…”
Noya’s expression as he said that.
‘… You look like you’re going to beat up someone.’
First of all, it didn’t seem like they were going there with good intentions.
