346 – [6] Where does it hurt?
#346
I hesitated a little at the sudden question.
No, I hesitated a lot, not just a little.
“Gangshi?”
Why on earth is this bastard doing this?
Nothing in particular came to mind as a reason.
To begin with, he wasn’t the type of person who would be interested in such matters in detail.
Normally, I would have just ignored it and thought it was okay.
“No, wait, why are you asking this?”
“Yes. So please answer my question first.”
“Why are you asking? “What are you curious about?”
“I’ll let you know if you answer my question first. What happened underground? “Wasn’t it there?”
Of course there was.
There have been countless instances of failure to maintain social distancing with Shannon.
But it was impossible to be honest.
No matter how much of a friend you were, if you explained that something like that had happened, the atmosphere would quickly turn into a mess.
Of course, Cheonma-ri was a childhood friend.
A very close friend who has seen all kinds of idiotic words and actions.
However, even with such a friend, it seemed inevitable that the atmosphere would worsen.
Considering that I would be made fun of in the future, there was only one thing I could say.
“Nothing happened.”
It was an important decision.
Even though it was ugly, it was better than committing seppuku because of the embarrassment of constantly being teased.
“Really?”
“Then it must be fake?”
Actually, even these words seemed suspicious.
I wondered what they were suspecting, and I also wondered on what basis they were doing it.
“You can trust me.”
“Hmm… ….”
“Then let me ask you this time. “Why are you even asking this?”
“It’s nothing special. “It just seems like your attitude toward Shannon has changed these days.”
Has my attitude changed that much?
I’m just being kind to you as usual.
Use, I don’t know.
First of all, there was no need to affirm that the attitude had changed.
“Attitude…… Specifically? To say something happened underground, I already explained to you everything that happened.”
“It was like that. But even taking that into account, he seemed very close to Shannon.”
“…… “Isn’t it because we’ve become friends after knowing each other for a year?”
“…… “In one year?”
“Why, is it strange?”
There was no rebuttal.
I just glared in this direction.
Soon, he frowned as if he was displeased.
Cheonma-ri placed her hand on my shoulder.
Different from usual with a friendly feel.
A creepy feeling spread from my shoulders.
“Kang Si, you are a friend of 12 years and a friend of 1 year. “Who do you think you are closer to?”
“Of course you—”
“Really?”
It differed depending on what the word “Close” Meant.
If we say that we are close in spirit, it would be a thousand, otherwise…… I guess it’s Shannon.
And the physical affirmation here is crazy.
It would be right to hit back in moderation.
“Uh. Then who would be there?”
“So… ….”
It was an empty and meaningless statement.
What on earth does Cheonmaly want?
Could it be that he even knew that I had a strange relationship with Shannon?
However, given Cheonma-ri’s personality, if she had really found out, she would not have been able to control her mouth and would have caused a scene in the neighborhood.
Then what does this mean now?
Why do you keep showing me an attitude of suspicion?
It was safe to say that she had nothing to gain from these suspicions.
In the first place, my relationship with her was nothing more than that of her friend.
In the end, I was not in a position to be questioned like this.
“Mari, I don’t even know what you want right now. “I don’t even know what I’m thinking.”
“Really? Actually, so do I. “I wonder why I’m asking you this.”
I burst out laughing.
I don’t even know the reason, but I’m asking a question.
“Just…” … Maybe it would have been better not to know…… No, I didn’t think much of it at first… ….”
“What?”
“No. “I guess I was sensitive for a moment.”
I shook my head.
Suddenly, he began to show an attitude of trying to understand something, even if only by force.
“It can be like that in today’s world…… Anyway, even if you do that, it doesn’t mean anything will change…… Okay, maybe a mistake… ….”
“…… ?”
I muttered things to myself that I couldn’t understand.
Soon, he showed a bright expression, different from before.
It’s not as much as usual, but it looks like his thoughts have been organized.
However, it looks like the aftereffects of some kind of shock remain.
What did I do wrong that a thousand birds are like that?
Not only was the affair with Shannon not discovered, but even if she was, this atmosphere was strange.
Because of this, she looked at her even more strangely.
“Marie. “Where are you hurting?”
“It hurts? Not really…… ?”
“No, because he said something he wouldn’t normally say and suddenly started talking to himself. “I’m worried.”
“I see…… ? Because I’m fine. Don’t worry. Anyway, in today’s free world, men and women can make mistakes…….”
“?”
She waved her hand.
He smiled again and slightly moved away from me.
In the end, we just moved on without the question being resolved.
The dark street gradually became darker, heading deep into the black market beyond.
We did not simply walk down the road, but slowly moved towards a destination.
And then we arrived in front of the mysterious store we had visited before.
– The world of rare food ingredients.
– OPEN!
“Oh, fortunately the light is on.”
I was thinking of stopping by while I was at the black market.
I took a long step toward the entrance.
“Gangshi, wait a minute.”
It stopped just like that.
It was because a thousand horses called.
Why are you asking this question at such a critical moment, right before shopping? … Can I ask a question later?
Of course, no matter how much I looked at the thousand people I decided to talk to, nothing changed.
“Why?”
“We’re still friends, right?”
Then you are a stupid sack of shit and an enemy.
Ah, you are a stupid sack of shit.
“…… “Then, what do you think, Cheonma-ri?”
“Childhood friend. “He’s also very friendly and one of a kind.”
“Me too. “Not a friend, but a childhood friend.”
No more, we were childhood friends.
A relationship where we have fun with each other and only harshly criticize each other.
It was nothing less, nothing more.
Perhaps she thinks so too.
“Then it’s Gangshi.”
“Uh.”
“You won’t abandon me, right?”
If you throw it away, what are you throwing away?
Am I you?
“I’m going to throw it away.”
There were many reasons to throw it away.
I think there will be more in the future.
“No joke. “You’re really not going to throw it away, are you?”
“…… I’m not sure what you mean by throwing it away. You mean physically throwing it away? Or in another form—”
“If the situation changes in the future, you won’t suddenly break off relations, right?”
There was a strange mixture of earnestness in his eyes.
She reminded me of an orphan begging her parents not to throw her away.
In fact, she is an orphan who already has no parents.
Even if I tried to throw her away, she was already thrown away, and the period of time she spent with me was longer than the period she spent with her parents.
Throwing away a thousand birds.
It was a very difficult task.
“Breaking ties…… “I don’t think it will go that far.”
If I were to force a possibility, I would be able to impulsively throw away a thousand birds in order to survive in a dangerous situation.
But in everyday situations, breaking off relations…… Is it really necessary to do that?
“Of course, I wouldn’t know if you suddenly started talking about conquering the world and killing everyone you don’t like.”
However, I don’t know what’s ahead of people.
If Cheonmaly suddenly gains enormous power and says he will suddenly become a god, and it feels like the final boss, it may be true.
But not now.
Actually, I didn’t think it would happen in the future.
Considering what Cheonmae likes, it seems like he would choose the Eagles to win instead of conquering the world with great power.
Because of that, I kept shaking my head.
But, regardless of my attitude, a thousand eyes were looking elsewhere.
“… ….”
“… ….”
Ah.
Was this bitch really thinking about conquering the world?
Were you thinking of catching someone you don’t like and turning them into TS slaves?
No, right, Marie?
I thought your ultimate dream was terrible, but I believe it wasn’t to that extent.
“Hey, enslavement of the whole world. “No?”
“Well. Of course…… No…….”
The answer is not clear.
I guess I have to be prepared to betray.
It was a time when I was thinking about making a decision for the world.
A thousand faces filled with a mixture of despair and embarrassment were reflected in the pupils.
“Ugh.”
Just right!
“Ouch!”
I hit a thousand heads.
I mean, please come to your senses.
“I was talking nonsense earlier, and now I’m thinking crazy thoughts.”
“… ….”
“Because I plan to go grocery shopping. “Follow me and get some stuff.”
Nothing more was said.
I left Cheonmaly behind and headed to the store.
When I opened the door and entered, I saw a familiar angel.
She looked at me and waved her hand.
* * *
Angelus.
No, the boss of the angel tribe, who was about 60cm tall, showed an attitude of being happy to see me.
I only went back and forth twice, even though it was a few months ago, and I still remember this.
I thought it would be worth coming again if this level of hospitality was provided.
“By the way, the person next to here…… ?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“My childhood friend.”
“Ah, nice to meet you! “An encounter like this must also be a blessing from the Lord.”
So, I picked up suitable food ingredients for year-end health food and meals.
Cheonma-ri looked at the scene in amazement.
“Jiangshi, when did you come to a place like this?”
“When I came to the black market to get special food ingredients. “At that time, there were fires, explosions, chaos, and people being chased in the black market.”
“Who…… ? That’s us— Ah, ah, that’s right. “Someone was being chased and there was chaos.”
The words are quickly turned away as I look at them.
We almost got caught in front of others that we were dealing with a drug gang.
I sighed and continued putting the ingredients into the basket.
But, the angel clan boss sneaked up next to me.
“Oh, I guess you know about the Eagles terrorist attack committed by ‘some’ Protestants in the black market here?”
