The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 789 (789/820)
“…”
“…”
Our eyes met for a moment.
Gu Hee-bi was speechless at the sight before her eyes.
Mihyoran just let out a gasp as she looked at her eldest daughter.
That’s how time passes.
“Huh?”
Mihyoran lifted the child in her arms and sat him down next to her, then carefully moved the snacks and tea in front of her out of sight.
And then.
“You came.”
“…”
“Sit down.”
He acts as usual, as if nothing happened.
After seeing this, Gu Hee-bi wondered if she had just seen something for a moment.
“mother.”
“…”
“What is it…?”
Of course, there’s no way it’ll work.
Mihyoran’s eyebrows furrow slightly at Gu Hee-bi’s frowning question.
I think he realized that it wasn’t working.
“What the heck is this… What the heck is this… No, what is that kid doing… .”
Gu Hee-bi was mumbling and unable to speak properly. Her eyes were shaking like crazy, as if she was quite surprised.
It was almost as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
“He is….”
The moving gaze turns to the child and freezes.
And the opened eyes opened even wider.
It can’t be helped.
How could I not be surprised when I see that face?
“…uh?”
A child tilting his head while looking at the stiff Gu Hee-bi.
Just looking at the innocent expression on a child’s face sucks you into your memories.
[Look at this! It’s a flower-! I’ll give it to you, sister.] [Sister-! Play with me!-!]
There was still a lot of laughter back then.
The image of her running towards me, picking a flower and giving it to me.
The youngest brother who followed him around, holding his hand tightly.

“… Uh… Uh… .”
It looks exactly the same as it did back then.
Strictly speaking, he does look a bit cuter… but clearly, that kid looks just like my little brother.
Looking at that, Gu Hee-bi’s body moves on its own.
The appearance Mihyoran had just seen. The reason why she had been called here all of a sudden.
None of that comes into my head.
Let’s go first. Let’s go and pat the head and think about it.
As Gu Hee-bi came to mind, she tried to approach the child.
At that moment.
“Yangcheon… .”
Phew-!!
“…!?”
A gust of wind blew from beside Gu Hee-bi.
Something shoots forward at a rapid pace, creating a gust of wind.
An acceleration that no one around could react to. Gu Hee-bi’s gaze was fixed on one spot as the situation unfolded.
There.
“Yeon-ah…?”
The black-haired woman whom he took in as his younger sister was tightly hugging a child who resembled his younger brother.
Goo Hee-bi was taken aback by the sudden situation and the speed she couldn’t even perceive.
Mihyoran, who was standing next to him, also showed a rare look of surprise.
At that moment, everyone was confused.
Suddenly-.
There are sounds here and there.
At this, Gu Hee-bi immediately moved her body and shouted.
“for a moment-!”
Thud thud thud-!!
Blades rained down from all sides.
******************
It took a while for me to move as if I was being dragged halfway by the elder.
Before I knew it, I was in a familiar place.
A neatly maintained alley. A luxurious residence visible on top of it.
It was a familiar background, but it was a space that didn’t really suit me.
‘The government came yesterday, so how could I not know?’
yesterday.
This is the place I headed to at night, keeping a close eye on things.

This is where Mrs. Mi stays.
I was led here again by the elder.
The purpose is to see someone.
Since the residence is Mrs. Mi’s residence, it seems natural that he came to see her.
That wasn’t it.
‘hmm.’
I look around the place with a tense expression on my face, knowingly or unknowingly.
Yeah, I didn’t come here to see Mrs. Mi.
The elder said he came to see my grandfather.
‘To be exact, my grandfather….’
Maternal grandfather.
If I had to put it into words, it would have been like that.
‘Not a single drop of blood was mixed, though.’
Now, when I say grandfather to myself, it seems like the old man I met the other day is the only one, but if you really think about it, there was one more person.
The first owner of the department store run by Mrs. Mi.
He is the father of Mrs. Mi.
‘…hmm.’
As I think about it, a question comes to mind.
Can we really call that person our maternal grandfather?
‘If you think about it, he’s not even my real grandfather.’
Anyway, since I was the child of a concubine and had no blood relations with Madam Mi, it was obvious that I was not her maternal grandfather.
Even.
‘I’ve never seen it.’
I am Mrs. Mi’s father. I have never met the first head of Baekhwasangdan since I was born.
‘I just found out you’re alive.’
I’ve never even heard of it, let alone seen it in person.
You’re still alive, huh?
‘I wonder if my sisters knew this.’
I don’t know about Gu Hee-bi or Gu Yeon-seo.
I may be a total stranger, but they are my real granddaughters.
Of course, that makes it even stranger.
‘Why on earth?’
Not only did such a person called the first chief suddenly appear, but he also came to Hanam with Iljangro as his escort.
So… .
‘Why me?’
Advertisements
Why do you insist on coming to see me?
This too was something that had never happened in a previous life.
As always, I think the problem is the accidents I’ve caused.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out.’
What’s the problem that caused this?
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind.
So he raised his head and looked at the large platform in front of him and asked.
“You know, Elder Il.”
“hmm?”
At my call, an eight-foot-tall old man turns around.
“Why on earth are you looking for me?”
Why is the first Baekhwadan leader looking for me? I ask the elder.
“Well.”
“…”
“I guess he’s just calling because he misses his grandson.”
No particularly helpful answers came back.
Well, it was my fault for expecting something from this old man.
“… You’re not even my grandchild, so why are you calling me to see me? Besides, if you wanted to see me, you would have come to see me a long time ago.”
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?”
“In the first place, why did you take on the role of escort, Elder? You are an old gentleman.”
A person who is like an elder of a noble family.
It’s just strange that such a person took on the role of escort and followed me all the way to Hanam.
At my words, the elder scratched my cheek with his hand.
“… It just happened that way. It’s good. Anyway, I think you can just think of it as a walk to see the guy.”
“A walk? That’s usually called a trip, not a walk.”
WHEEK-!
He turned his head as he spoke.
This is because the elder suddenly swung his fist at Jeongsu-ri.
The elder bursts into laughter as his fist grazes the air.
“Oh, dear. Any damage?”
“Say it with words. Speak it with words… Violence is bad.”
“Huh, I guess I’m getting better at nitpicking as the days go by.”
Elder Iljang moves his wrist as if he feels regret.
I said looking at him.
“Be honest with me.”
Advertisements
“huh?”
“Did you come here because you lost a bet again?”
“…”
Shudder-! The elder’s shoulders trembled slightly at the question.
“What… what does that mean? What did the old man lose?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Of course not! This guy thinks Nobu is crazy about some bet!”
“Isn’t your record too splendid to say no?”
“…”
The elder kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say.
How could one not be suspicious?
‘Where is the person who brings the volcano faction’s ghost just because he won a drinking bet?’
What kind of hardships did you have in Seomseong?
Anything that seemed to go wrong with that gentleman was either related to drinking or betting.
‘Looking at the reaction, it seems like it’s that kind of thing again.’
As expected, this time too, there seems to be some reason for the kangi.
‘It’s obvious.’
As if trying to change the subject, the elder kept whistling.
The funny thing is that I can’t even blow it properly, so all I can hear is the sound of the wind, whoosh! whoosh!
“… Elder.”
“Oh, didn’t you say no?”
Not really.
I could tell by the expression on his face. It seemed like this old man was up to something again.
“Be honest with me.”
“What?”
“What kind of accident did you get into this time?”
He continued to ask questions to the elder as if asking questions.
An accident caused by an elder? At first glance, it doesn’t seem like a big problem since an individual can handle it on their own.
I wasn’t.
‘Absolutely.’
I am convinced of this after seeing what I have experienced in this life.
‘This old man’s accident affects me.’
No matter how hard I try to run away, I get strangely entangled.
How many of the accidents that Iljang-ro caused turned into shit and I had to clean them up? Since this time it seemed like it would be no different, I was trying to somehow get a confession from Iljang-ro.
“No, that’s not true. Do you not trust your old man?”
Advertisements
“Of course I can’t believe it. I don’t know about other people, but how can I trust Elder Il-jang?”
Woofwoofwoof—!!!
“!”
He turned his head away without asking a question.
It was because the energy was rushing in from inside the residence.
“Huh? Why are you doing that?”
The elder seemed puzzled by my reaction. It seemed like he didn’t notice.
Could it be that my senses are heightened?
No, it won’t be.
Since I wasn’t used to it, I had mostly sealed my senses. The range was much narrower than usual.
So what is this energy?
‘…this.’
It digs straight into my heart and attacks me.
Then my heart started beating violently, as if resonating.
Thump-!
Hoooooow-!
At the same time, the place feels more energetic once again.
“…”
“Yangcheon-ah?”
The elder called me with a worried expression.
Whoosh whoosh-!!!
Already my toes were bursting forward in flames.
thud-!
The bets are intertwined and the acceleration increases.
With just a couple of steps, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
There was a high chance of an accident due to not being able to control the speed, but I didn’t care about that at the time.
It was that urgent.
Hwaruk-!!!
A handful of sparks dig into the dwelling.
I brushed past the entrance.
Before the guard guarding the door could even notice, my body was already inside the residence.
However, the speed does not decrease.
The destination is a place where you can feel the energy.
Unless I’m mistaken.
‘This energy is definitely….’
Advertisements
I choose to breathe deeply with my teeth clenched.
It wasn’t that far, so we reached our destination in a matter of seconds.
The energy seemed to be coming from Madam Mi’s room inside the residence.
I headed straight into the room.
And then I quickly check the scene inside.
“…hmm?”
I had to narrow my eyes as soon as I saw that.
‘What is this?’
The room was filled with countless people.
The room wasn’t small, perhaps because the place was large, but it seemed a bit cramped for this many people.
What you see inside is.
‘Guheebi.’
Gu Hee-bi, who is glaring at something while holding a sword. And Madam Mi, who has surprised eyes.
There.
‘Heavenly Demon?’
A woman with a familiar back view.
Cheonma was hugging Ddoldol.
She was surrounded by unmanned people wearing dark clothes.
Looking at the situation, it seems like they are secret guards who were protecting Mrs. Mi around her.
They are all aiming their swords at Cheonma.
‘… What is this situation?’
What on earth is going on here?
Why is Cheonma hugging Ttol-ttol in that room? And why is he emitting energy like that?
“…”
I rolled my eyes trying to figure out the unknown situation.
at that time.
“Get down now.”
One of the ciphers speaks to Cheonma.
“If you don’t fall now, I’ll cut you down.”
crazy.
Attack the Heavenly Horse.
I swallowed my breath at that crazy sound.
At the same time, he looked at Gu Hee-bi and Madam Mi.
The distance between the Heavenly Horses gathered in one room is close.
If Cheonma gets on my nerves and starts going berserk, it’ll be hard to avoid them with those two.
Advertisements
I made that judgment and moved immediately.
Hwaruk-!
“Huh!?”
“what-!”
Digging deep, he entered the gap between the blades.
The codes were about to react to my sudden appearance, but fortunately they saw my face and froze.
“master…?”
“Put the knife away.”
“yes?”
“Let’s put that aside for now and take care of Danju first.”
“one….”
“Come on, I’ll take care of it.”
“…”
The codes made a disgruntled expression at the firm words, but fortunately they moved first and took care of Mrs. Mi.
The distance is barely widening.
Only then did I approach Cheonma.
Cheonma still holding Ttol-tol-i.
“hey.”
“…”
“What are you?”
There is no movement even when I call.
Cheonma is holding the smart boy in her arms and just keeps breathing.
Looking at this, he added:
“What the hell is going on here?”
A somewhat aggressive tone.
It was to check Cheonma’s reaction.
Contrary to what I say, my heart is trembling with excitement.
I really wonder why they are doing this.
Is there some intention behind this?
I wondered if something had changed in this life, but was it really Cheonma?
All kinds of anxiety seep in.
“You ask me what I am doing now.”
I gave strength to my heart as I spoke.
If a problem arises, exploration must be initiated immediately.
That was the power for it.
Advertisements
A slowly extended hand touches her shoulder, and with force he releases it slightly.
Sigh.
At that moment, Cheonma’s head rose and our eyes met.
The face of the Heavenly Horse is revealed through the black hair.
Stop.
After seeing that, my body froze like a stone.
There was no choice.
“…What are you?”
Cheonma was hugging Ttol-ttol.
“Crying?”
I was crying.
That’s also very sad.
