Episode 77
A request from Pangyo?
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“… … What do you mean? That’s what I wanted to ask.”
Kyeonji-oh’s face looked completely ignorant of English. Honghae-do also reacted by saying that he was shocked.
“Dohyun hyung sometimes says this. I guess you could say he talks about things that are a bit out of the blue.”
“Wow. That’s right. He really makes people uncomfortable.”
“It seems like the person knows a lot, and also seems to have a lot of secrets.”
“Mom, huh? You’re really good at reading people.”
“I was born with one ‘eye’.”
“I really have no luck.”
Haha… … This is not a joke.
Hong Ha-ya pushed up my thick glasses frames while smiling.
He sat there and asked while hoeing the Holy Spirit candle in a skillful pose. The initial wariness had completely disappeared.
“Do you know the legend surrounding this Wolgye Valley?”
“The Grave of the Stars?”
“… … Huh? What was that? Was there something else?”
[Your Covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’ whispers to you, baby, how can a mere human know the stories of the stars?]
Oh, is that so?
Geo calmly changed his words.
“I mistook it for something else. What is it?”
“Bland… … .”
It’s here.
Originally, it was a place where, long ago, sages came down to look into the human world.
I looked into this valley water that reflected the entire galaxy as a mirror and saw various places in the world.
So, if you visit this place on a night when the spirit energy is strong, your ‘eyes’ will open for a moment like they did back then, and you will witness the world of stars.
[The Holy One, ‘The Reader of Fortune’ is interested in how humans have interpreted things quite plausibly.]
“I see. My score is.”
“Oh, it’s not over yet?”
The story starts now.
Hong Ha-ya gazed blankly at the starlight of the Holy Spirit Church. As you can see, it is so beautiful.
“They said that seeing it briefly between midnight and dawn wasn’t enough. So, instead of just this brief moment… … one day, a rumor started to spread that we could have the ‘eyes that see the world’ like the sages, forever, forever.”
People whispered.
Let’s gouge out the eyes of a newborn baby and put them in a stream.
Before the spiritual eye closes, you may be able to remember the ‘power to see the world.’
“Let’s make the eyes of the young spirit into the eyes of the world. The valley does not dry up, and the moon does not set, so let’s try until we succeed.”
“… … .”
“Was it successful?”
Human greed is persistent.
“Tens of thousands of children died in this valley of the moon, until the last one succeeded.”
“… … .”
“And that child was the first ‘Hongdalya’.”
“… … If it’s Hongdal-ya.”
Honghae, Hongdal.
These were names that had to have some kind of connection. Hong Ha-ya snickered at Geo’s muttering.
“That’s right. This is our family legend, Sister Geo.”
“… … .”
“So, the Hongs are born with good ‘eyes’, that’s what it is. My great-aunt is like that, and my younger sibling is like that… … .”
But I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, Hong Ha-ya muttered.
“Actually, my twin sister Dal-ya is the ‘Hong Dal-ya’ this time.”
Starlight scatters in the hands that give strength. The Holy Spirit Plant was a sensitive plant.
Honghae carefully wrapped the petals again.
“I don’t really know what he’s looking at. Is he really seeing the world like the family legend says, or something… … But it seems like having those eyes is incredibly painful.”
My younger brother has been lying in a hospital bed ever since he was born.
Hong Ha-ya’s face turned bitter as she thought of her twins.
Geo’s calm gaze reaches me.
Hong Ha-ya, who was embarrassed by that, took the weight off her voice again. Well, still!
“I’m feeling a bit better these days. Dohyun hyung told me about the Holy Spirit Tears… … I’m even sleeping these days.”
“Of course, it would be best if I could meet ‘Joe’.”
“Ugh, groan, groan.”
“……what’s the matter?”
Oh, no. It’s a little chilly today.
“Do you have a cold?” asked Geo, shrugging his shoulders and turning his head askew.
“… … Joe, ahem, why ‘Joe’?”
“Dal-ya keeps looking for that person. But are you really okay, Unnie? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
“Uh, uh uh.”
Baek Do-hyun, you, you piece of shit!
The thought of ‘Pangyo’s Request’ flashed through my mind.
“If things go well, can you do me one favor?”
“What is it?”
“I’ll tell you when I get there.”
“I didn’t say I would listen.”
“I know. You can listen to it then and decide. It won’t be difficult at all.”
‘Joming out isn’t that hard, you shameless regressor!’
It won’t work. I guess I’ve been doing it too much lately.
I was struck by those damned bright eyes… … .
If we leave that regressor alone, it seems like the day will soon come when he will try to save some world.
Kyeonjio made a firm resolution not to turn on his cell phone for the time being.
* * *
“Hey, sis, isn’t it true that eating rice cakes suits your constitution better?”
“What kind of crazy nonsense is that, my dear little brother?”
“No… … Your complexion has gotten better? It seems like you’ve gained some weight… … Like you ate some kind of health food.”
“That, that can’t be.”
“Anyway, today is the last night. Ugh, it was really boring. If only Monk Bohyeon hadn’t personally offered to console my spirit, I would have gone a long time ago.”
“I’m telling you, that Buddha knows something and is doing that.”
“That noise again? Anyway, Mom said that if you don’t attend the service by today, it’s the last day… … Hey, hey! Where are you going? Hey! Hold on!”
It was four days long, including the weekend.
During the day, it was Choi Da-wit, and at night, it was Hong Ha-ye.
Geo met them one after another, like a two-timing person.
Hong Ha-ya, who is extremely ordinary, was more unusual than expected, and Choi Da-wit, who is extremely unusual, was more ordinary than expected.
Kyeonjio looked towards Choi Da-wit.
Seorak, near its highest point, Daecheongbong.
The mountain range was clearly visible in the dazzling weather. The wind was blowing low.
Choi David’s long hair swayed gently.
I guess it’s past time to bleach my roots. I could see a hint of orange through my lavender hair.
Choi Da-wit called Geo without looking back, perhaps sensing his gaze. His voice was soft.
“Hey, disciple.”
“Why, Choi Yacha?”
“You cheeky bitch. Do you know that no one can call me that to my face?”
“You’re the one being cheeky. Just know that I really do care about you.”
Choi David laughed out loud. Oh really.
“X, you’re weird. How can you be pretty when you don’t even tell me your name… … Why are you so strangely friendly?”
It was the same with Jianjiao.
But Geo, unlike Choi Da-wit, knew exactly why.
The first time I saw it was almost 10 years ago.
After that, for many years, he watched Choi David every day on the number one domestic ranking channel, and ‘David’ was always in one corner of Geo’s field of vision.
Excluding those who already knew Geo, his family, and the “Silver Lion”, Choi Da-wit was the only person on the channel who would call out to and look for “Joe”, and even “Joe”, who always went into hiding, would often appear and answer his calls.
‘David’ was the only ranker that ‘Joe’ talked to.
Also, to Gyeonji-oh, Choi Da-wit was the first Awakened person who ‘almost became’ a friend.
“I saw you on TV saying you wanted to be my friend.”
“ah…….”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to meet them once? I’m also curious about other S-classes. There’s only one of them, so there’s no way my identity would be discovered. It’s not like he’d go around telling other people about me.”
“But, Miss Geo, as you know, Miss Geo’s condition is… … .”
「… … .」
“I know you’ve been training steadily. But you’re still not at a completely stable level… … . And that guy’s condition is even more unstable than Geo-yang’s.”
「… … .」
“If the only two young S-class people in the country meet and an accident happens… I don’t even want to imagine it. It would shake the foundation of the country.”
Geo responded calmly.
“I guess you’ve grown fond of food. You should have fed him some.”
Starting with wild boar, where on earth do they get it, carp, black chicken, etc.
Geum-hee wasn’t suspicious for nothing. It was true that Geo had been secretly eating health food all this time.
Choi Da-wit coughed in vain, muttering. Ahem.
“Because I’m the type of person who prefers to show with actions rather than words. Everything you’ve eaten so far was brought from our guild’s Yeongsan. Do you understand?”
“Somehow, I felt like my internal energy was growing.”
If this continues, I’ll soon be on the verge of collapse.
Choi Da-wit looked delighted at Geo’s roundabout compliments. Oh, really?
“Yes. Your complexion is also shining golden! If our Dojeok is healthy, I am very happy. This friend is so happy! I hope our friendship continues in the future, forever!”
‘Breaking news… … .’
It’s so transparent that I can’t even describe it.
However, instead of the monk who could not speak out of conscience, the boy next to him was grinding his bones with a sullen face.
“You have poured out your last fortune, Elder. While you wait anxiously for the noble to change his mind… … .”
So, the bones of David Choi.
Choi Da-wit, who was hit hard by the internal gunfire, screamed, “Oh my god!”
“Hey, this DragXball fake that looks like a tight-fitting knockoff is going to keep yapping until the end! Won’t you keep quiet!”
“I don’t know! The meeting is tomorrow, what are you going to do now?”
The two people start bickering again.
Geo, who was watching, became really curious and asked.
“you…….”
A guide to proper living for rankers.
