The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 969 (969/1020)
My mother, who is not the master of all worlds.
I had to take a moment to reflect on Noya’s words that it was her request.
What could it mean? Noya’s expression was too serious to be considered a simple pun.
I had to concentrate for a moment to figure out what that meant.
‘… It was my mother who asked me to do this. She is not the master of the universe… .’
What does this mean?
That Noya was a general. That he ended up betraying him.
If that is also true.
‘Did he become a general at his mother’s request? Or did he betray her at her request?’
The words were ambiguous and I couldn’t understand them properly.
I didn’t think too much and quickly came up with an answer.
Whatever it is, what it means is the same.
“Does that mean the owner and the mother are different people now?”
This means that Noya did not identify the current owner with my mother.
As if to prove it, Noya nodded slightly at my words.
“As I said last time, your mother is not the one you knew.”
“I know.”
I only heard about it last time, but now I know for sure.
If you meet him in person, you can’t help but know.
She wasn’t the mother I knew. Not in her appearance, not in her scent, not in her voice.
But she was the one I all knew.
She was not a mother.
If so, what should I call it?
okay.
‘master.’
She is the owner.
The master of the world who rules this land.
I had to see her as my master, not my mother.
Even though it wasn’t easy, it seemed like it had to be done.
“…”
The image of her taking Yarang and calling her her daughter flashes through my mind.
Damn it. I couldn’t quite forget that sight.
match-!
“huh?”

When I swing my hand and slap his cheek, Noya looks at me with a strange look.
“… Sweetheart. Do you have that kind of taste?”
“… I just hit you to make you come to your senses. And. What do you mean, was there anything? I don’t have any other interests.”
I came to my senses a little with a cold cheek. I had been hit so hard that blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.
He wiped it roughly with the back of his hand and spoke to Noya.
“So… what do you mean when you say you did it at your mother’s request?”
“What could it mean? It was really your mother’s words.” “So. The former. The latter. Which one is it?”
Is that what it means to become a general?
Or is that what you mean by betrayal?
When I ask him that, Noya looks at me and says curtly.
“Both.”
“… Both?”
“Yeah, both.”
Sarak.
Noya spat out his words and sat up.
The skewer I was eating was no longer in my hand, so I must have already finished it.
“Your mother could not have been unaware of what was happening in the world, so it is impossible for her to have been unaware of my arrival here.”
“…”
Hearing that, I remember the calf that I thought was the leader calling Noya an outsider or foreigner.
“Something came up so I just helped out for a little while.”
“… What happened that made you suddenly act like a general in someone else’s world? Were you bored?”
“I was lonely anyway. This was also necessary… . Hey, look at this guy?”
bang-!
“Whoa!”
Got hit in the head.
“Who made you suffer like that? What? Bored? An old man rolled you around until your bones broke. I shouldn’t be grateful!”
“… So. What did you go through all that trouble for?”
He asked, rubbing the back of his cold head.
What kind of hardships did I have to endure to become a general here and then run away in the end?
“hmm.”
Noya looks at me quietly at my question.
Are you hesitating whether or not you should tell me?
Looking at your eyes, it’s exactly like that.
“No, hardship is secondary.”
So I changed the subject a little. If I kept doing this and couldn’t hear you, I would be the only one who would suffer.

Okay, let’s say he somehow manages to be a general.
however.
“What is betrayal?”
Yusa’s words that Noya betrayed and disappeared. I was more curious about that.
At those words, Noya scratched his cheek. His reaction wasn’t much different from before, but it was better than before.
Noya responds to the words that he betrayed her at his mother’s request.
“There’s a sacred tree stuck in the volcano right now.”
Hearing this, I think of a giant tree that exists in a volcano.
It was a sacred tree made of plum blossoms.
“Yes. Isn’t that the one that Noya stole and ran away with?”
It’s the one that Noya stole with the seeds and ran away with before.
Why is this story suddenly coming up?
But.
“It was your mother’s request that I brought it out.”
My brow furrows involuntarily at the words that followed.
“… Stealing seeds. Is this something my mother asked me to do?”
“okay.”
“why…?”
“Why? I did it because you told me to.”
“…”
I stole it because you told me to.
I had to sit there in a daze for a moment at the absurd answer.
Noya chuckled, perhaps because he found my expression funny. This guy…?
“It was also necessary. For your mother’s purpose. For my work. And for yours.”
Fortunately, it was just a joke, and Noya continued explaining while looking at me. After hearing that, I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes even more.
“Purpose? What purpose do you mean…?”
Mother’s purpose. What on earth was her purpose in asking Noya to do that? And.
‘Why did it turn out like this now…?’
If only things were different back then.
I thought there must be a reason why it turned out like this now.
When I ask him that, Noya looks at me and says indifferently.
“My dear.”
“yes.”
“Do you know how many sacred trees there are in Man-gye?”
“… I don’t know.”

“There are four known to be there. The number is the same as the number of generals.”
Noya points to the floor with his finger.
“One in the night when the pseudo-guy rules. And.”
The following points north.
“Chief. Another one in the same mountain range as that ignorant bastard.”
Next is the west.
“And another one where the unlucky crow is guarding. The last one is a volcano.”
“…What about Yarang?”
“That kid. I stole it and ran away, so I guess you could say that kid’s stuff belongs to the volcano.”
“that….”
Isn’t that not right?
I was about to ask that, but Noya spoke first.
“The important thing is that although there are four known sacred trees, there is actually one more.”
“yes?”
There is one more tree. I was surprised for a moment by Noya’s words.
Shin Noya points to the sky.
“There’s one more up there. There exists something called the Heart of the Ten Thousand Worlds.”
I looked into space while talking.
The sky is gradually beginning to turn red, but it is still beautifully tinted with purple.
However, only that was visible. The tree that Noya was talking about was not visible.
“If you want to see it, you can’t see it. If you can’t see it, then of course it’s kept a secret.”
“…”
Then why did you point it out?
When I look at him in disbelief, Noya clicks his tongue.
“Anyway, what’s important is not the tree itself. It’s your mother’s condition due to the fall.”
“Twisted?”
“As per the general’s original number. Also, since even one of the sacred trees that should have been placed in the position to protect has been moved, the current state of the world will be unstable. Since the set values have changed. The biggest change is that the concentration of energy in the air has also changed.”
“…!”
Hearing that, I widened my eyes. The concentration of energy in the air. I was surprised to hear that.
‘Is that so?’
As soon as I came to this land, I felt something.
The amount of energy contained in the air was overwhelmingly higher than in the central plains.
At that moment, I was wondering how things could be so different.
‘…That was the aftermath of the rule being broken?’
I could hear the answer from Noya’s mouth.

An abnormality that occurred when the originally established rules were broken.
Noya described the current situation like this.
‘If something like this happens because there is a problem with the sacred tree…’
I’m saying this is a serious matter.
underneath.
“…Why, mother. No, why isn’t the master moving?”
It was strange that the current owner knew about this situation and did little to stop it.
Even if Yarang’s activities were for this purpose, there were still many strange parts.
“It’s not that it’s not moving.”
Noya immediately corrects me on what I said.
“I guess it would be right to see that it cannot move.”
“You can’t do it? You were moving like that just now?”
We just met and everything went smoothly. What does this mean? I asked back, not understanding.
“Do you really think that’s what came down?”
“… Then?”
“Tsk tsk. How much presence does a master have… If she were to devote herself to something, this area would be turned into a mess. At best, she’d barely be able to create something resembling a body and send her spirit there.”
Noya’s gaze scans the surroundings. The crowds of people are still full of the night sky.
“From the beginning.”
Then Noya looked at me with a glare.
“If she showed up determinedly, your shallow tricks won’t work.”
“…”
“I was only able to get through it because I sacrificed my body and even my possessions to minimize the possible damage. If it weren’t for that.”
cook.
Noya’s finger poked my forehead!
“He would have lost his head by now.”
“…”
“I’m telling you to realize how dangerous your actions were.”
He rubbed his forehead and bit his lip.
“Then I don’t understand it even more. If the sacred tree was that important. And if it was that easy to find. Especially not.”
It can be done, but it is not done. Should I express this as ‘can’t’?
“If at best there is only one change, then that would be fine.”
“yes?”
“If it was to the extent that the sacred tree disappeared, it wouldn’t matter. But what has just happened in the world is not just that.”
“…what.”
“I told you last time. If your mother is in charge of the sky, then there is also someone who rules the very deep underground.”
Advertisements
When Noya hears this, an entity immediately comes to mind.
The name is Kkureung, but in reality, it cannot be called by that name.
“… Bottomless pit?”
“right.”
The master of the abyss.
The ruler of the deep, deep darkness that exists in the universe.
‘You said it was the source of demons?’
A person who contains beings who disappeared without being able to come to Man-gye.
And the monsters that come out through the magic gate, called demons, are said to be those under the management of the bottomless pit.
“The guy who should have been doing his job properly underground. Have you forgotten where he is now?”
“… It’s in the volcano.”
“The bastard came up to the surface and disappeared. The underground of the world must be in chaos right now. Your mother must be doing everything she can to prevent that.”
“So you’re saying that it’s not time to look for a sacred tree?”
“right.”
Noya nodded.
It’s a big deal that the sacred tree disappeared and something strange happened.
The problem is even bigger because another owner who was in charge of one axis has disappeared.
So, is she, the master of all worlds, also blocking that side?
“The main body won’t be able to move because it’s busy dealing with that. If it leaves its position even for a moment, a big problem will occur in the whole world.”
“… So it’s difficult to move to get the sacred tree back?”
“Originally, I wouldn’t have even thought about the disappearance of Mujeonggang in the first place. It would be hard to deal with that.”
“However, it was going to be a problem to this extent. Didn’t you even take precautions?”
“Of course. In this world, nothing can move without her permission. Even if they are the same master, it is no different.”
So I wasn’t even worried.
I immediately asked back at Noya’s quiet words.
“then….”
You said you couldn’t move without permission, but you still didn’t move in the end. Just as I was about to say that.
“…uh?”
I couldn’t spit it all out and had to react in a daze.
Even the bottomless pit cannot move without the permission of the Lord of the universe.
But Mujeogang has not only moved, he is also taking refuge under the sacred tree of the volcano.
The sacred tree of the volcano was taken by Noya at his mother’s request and escaped.
But something strange happened.
Even that was my mother’s wish.
What these words refer to. No way.

“… That bastard Kkureungi left his seat and stayed there. Was that what your mother wanted?”
Even the actions of the bottomless pit.
It was my mother’s intention.
So I came to that conclusion.
“You’re not bad at judging things.”
Noya smiled as if that was the correct answer.
