Smile, Smile (4)
‘What am I angry about?’ Rian, who was running towards somewhere unconscious, suddenly had a question.
I could see a building approaching quickly.
Although he could see it, his thoughts were filled with something that was not something he had experienced…
‘No, is it my experience?’ Every time someone’s memory passed by, very vivid stimulation was conveyed at the cell level.
Without even thinking about breaking through the blocking object, Lian crashed into the running position.
‘Where are we going?’
According to Nike’s memory, the genocide team was taken to the mansion of wealthy man Miguel.
The Vampire Lord from the Jinma Faust anecdote and another Lord who must have already awakened.
“Xenia.”
The moment I uttered her name, an auditory hallucination as if I had come from the end of the universe exploded.
“Smile.”
bang! Bang bang!
The walls, crumbling like cookies, disappeared and the mansion of the rich man Miguel came into view.
At that point the thought jumped back 10,000 years and brought him to a place in heaven.
‘Ogent.’
A long time ago, there lived a timid, self-centered, and nervous prosecutor.
Although saving the world did not cause an event so great that it symbolized a specific era.
‘What are you angry about?’
The beings of heaven who have endured for more than 10,000 years look back on the test as follows.
Yacha.
Late at night, Ogent entered the training center where his clan practiced swordsmanship.
“Whew. Phew.”
Every time he took a deep breath, the candle lighting the surroundings shook as if it were going out.
‘Hold on. Be patient. ‘Just bear with it.’
What is anger?
It felt like the fire rising from my heart was melting my mind and body, mixing them together like molten iron in a furnace.
“iced coffee?…”!”
My clenched teeth suddenly opened and I wanted to scream with all my might.
‘Swordsmanship.’
Augent needed a place to escape.
There had to be the only way out of the hell of the mind, which was surrounded by fire on all sides.
‘Let’s be the best.’
No one said that, but it seemed as if Sumile would come to him once he reached the peak of the sword.
‘Because I’m having these delusions, I’m getting called dirty by Smile.’
Still, it didn’t matter.
‘Let’s walk ten steps. Then it will be okay.’
Augent measured the ten steps ahead with his eyes and walked slowly.
Of course, he actually walked, but the soles of his feet did not come off even after 10 minutes.
‘slowly. ‘Extremely slow.’
A person watching from the side would think he was just standing there, but Augent was sensing countless movements of his entire body.
‘Endlessly disintegrating.’
As the nerves were torn into pieces, even the particles of air could be felt through the skin.
‘It’s space.’
Only what is contained in the body is mine and therefore infinitely free.
” brother?”
Smile visited the training center and opened the door.
‘Smile.’
Her keen senses captured her, but she was swept away by the incredible speed at which her nerves raced and disappeared into oblivion.
Because it was a familiar occurrence, Sumille sat in the corner of the training room and watched her brother.
‘What kind of training is that?’
Unlike the clan’s swordsmen, Ogent’s training was boring and he would often end up exhausted.
But there was definitely something to talk about today, so Smile waited patiently.
After less than 30 minutes, she felt drowsy, and before she knew it, she nodled and fell into a deep sleep.
“huh’?”
When I woke up again, I could hear birds chirping outside the training center, announcing the dawn.
As the broken memories were connected, Ogent was no longer in the gaze that was restored to its original place.
“wow.”
Her head turned, and Augent, who had taken ten steps overnight, was standing up with his legs together.
“brother.”
Although he thought he was just standing still, Augent was moving to reach a perfect stop.
‘Stop.’
Because he never stopped while moving ten steps, his acceleration was outside the range of human measurement.
‘ stop.’
Controlling it physically was as difficult as feeling the speed of light.
The moment the candle was crushed from top to bottom and the flame went out, Smile swallowed his saliva.
Perfect stop.
Her brain couldn’t analyze it, but her eyes were clearly seeing it.
“Smile.”
Augent turned his head.
“what’s the matter?”
Smile, who had a dazed expression on his face, came to his senses and stood up.
“Oh, I have something to tell you.” I knew what I wanted to say and what I wanted to hear.
“It’s morning now. “Let’s do it next time.”
It was pitiful that he couldn’t let Sumire go or hold on to him.
“good. But if you won’t say it now, promise me you won’t ever.”
When I turned around, I saw Smile looking at me with angry eyes unlike usual.
“You have something to tell me? The mountain clan people will be here soon. “If you don’t do it now, you might regret it for the rest of your life.”
Probably so.
“I don’t know why you’ve been so cold to me lately. “It was definitely after the marriage with the mountain clan was caught.”
“Smile I…
“You don’t want me to get married?”
My heart sank.
“That can’t be possible. The river clan and the mountain clan lived in cooperation for generations. “This is an important marriage.”
“I’m talking about you now. There are a lot of complaints about this wedding. Shall I guess?”
Augent’s face turned pale.
“Brother, could it be…
At that time when I was so nervous that I was losing my mind, Sumille placed her hand on my waist and said.
“Is it because there will be no one to play with when I get married?”
“what?”
The cold sweat dried up.
“Because my brother is not sociable and has no friends. “That’s why you’re leaving.”
What replaced the lost tension was disappointment.
‘What did you expect?’
Did he know that there would be a single powerful blow that would destroy the precarious balance?
“It’s not like that.”
Just as the words were about to come out under heavy breathing, Damian opened the door to the training center.
“You were here.”
Augent felt guilty.
“uh? dad? “Are you awake already?”
Damian, who was looking at the siblings with complicated emotions, sighed and turned around.
“The mountain clan people will arrive. “We have to have a prenuptial ceremony, so please come home quickly.”
Smile, who was watching Damian walking away, looked back at Ogent and waited for a moment.
The look in his eyes said that if he had something to say, he would say it quickly, but after hearing Damian’s sigh, Ozant simply kept his mouth shut.
“I’m going in.”
Smile returned and Augent closed the door to the training room and closed his eyes.
‘slow. Slower.’
I thought that once I reached the top and there was no more room for me to go up, Smile would miraculously understand my heart.
‘Let’s be strong. Then it’s okay.’
It was the only way Ogent could fight the world.
The mountain clan has arrived.
Although there was no superiority or inferiority between the clans, it was a traditional ritual to strengthen harmony by staying at the bride’s place for seven days. Most of them were acquaintances, as they often came and went by exchanging river and mountain goods.
However, Ogent, who was always confined to the mountains to practice, saw Smille’s fiancé, Lead, for the first time.
A huge man with a Honam-type face.
They were typical of the mountain clan, smiling brightly even with people they met for the first time.
‘Tch, what’s so cool about a guy like that?’
If it had been completely terrible, no words would have been said, but Augent blamed everything on political reasons.
‘Smile is being sacrificed.’
Sumille, who has a calm and broad mind like a giant tiger, is not shaken by any big things.
That’s something Augent never had, and maybe he’s in awe of her.
‘This marriage makes no sense.’
My stomach churned even more when I saw Smille smiling while talking to Leard.
“Anyway, who is your brother?”
Leard, who was looking around, saw Ogent frowning and approached him.
“You’re Smile’s older brother, whom I’ve only heard about. Nice to meet you. “It is called Lead of the mountain clan.”
I wanted to hit the outstretched hand, but I couldn’t take a single step in front of my family.
“Nice to meet you.”
“I heard that you are the best warrior. When you have time, let’s compete against each other.”
Augent responded coldly.
“I don’t think that will happen. “I’m planning to go on a long trip soon.”
“travel? “Are you sure you’re going to purgatory?”
“Please excuse me first.”
Leard looked back at the river family with a blank expression, but they didn’t seem to care.
“what? “He said he was my brother.”
Readard defined Augent this way:
“You’re so skinny, right?”
The prenuptial ceremony was amicable, except that Smile’s black-haired brother was cold.
It was an early evening with everyone drinking and drinking a lot of food from the mountains and rivers.
“ha ha ha! So, doesn’t that mean I killed three mountain kings at the same time?”
Damian, who was sending his daughter off, actively supported Readard’s saga.
“That’s amazing. “As expected, he is the strongest warrior of the mountain clan.”
“That too…
Leard lifted up his bowl of wine and turned his gaze to Augent, who was sitting in the last seat.
She didn’t know if she was listening or not, but she was just sitting there sulking and looking at the ground like a pissed off woman.
‘You have an unlucky personality. Well, he wasn’t even his biological child…
If he was going to go to purgatory anyway, it seemed like it would be fun to teach him the true beauty of a man.
“Have you ever caught a mountain king?”
When Augent did not respond, Smille intervened.
“My brother is really strong. He’s a genius. “A few days ago, we cut down dozens of cephalopods.”
“Fuhahaha! Are you giving Miss Smile’s oppa a lot of credit? “It is impossible to catch dozens of water reptiles in the water.”
No human being can do that.
“It’s real. You’re my brother, right? You showed me something while swimming with me back then. “The art of flying.”
“Fly in the sky?”
Since no one had reached that level, not only the mountain clan but also the river clan paid attention.
“You mean you have that kind of skill?”
Augent also had no choice but to answer.
“You know what to do?”
But, as expected, the words were cold and the atmosphere quickly calmed down.
“Oh, what the hell from earlier…
Leard raised his head and burst into laughter.
“Fuhahaha! You’ve got a scary brother. “But it’s still better than Jjoda.”
“pick?”
Augent glared at him with wide eyes, but Readard ignored him like a snarky snake.
“There is such a thing. By the way, if you have a cool skill, how about teaching it to me?”
Leard stood up without listening to the answer, grabbed his wooden sword, and walked towards the vacant lot.
“Surely the brave river clan won’t run away?”
As he drove a wedge into the clan’s pride, Augent finally realized his mistake.
‘Damn it.’ As I slowly stood up holding the wooden sword, Damian put down his drink and said.
“Ogent, would you like to see me for a moment?” Damian, who went into the shadows while everyone was waiting for the match of the century, said.
“This is someone who will spend the rest of his life with Smile.”
“I know. sorry. “I will personally apologize and pretend it never happened.”
“Please don’t kill me.”
“yes?”
When Augent raised his head, doubting his ears, Damian comforted his shoulder.
“You can beat me as much as you want. Until you break free, until there is nothing left in your heart.”
It was the only consideration I could give my son.
