Chapter 34: Lazy, Get Involved (1)

Why did that lazy bum give up so easily?

Well, I don't know.

Huh? Why don't you know?

Do I look to you like I have clairvoyance?

It was a long time after that I met Wei Yanhu and acted together with him. I only know about Wei Yanhu’s actions before that through what I have investigated and heard.

You don't understand?

Of course, that's true.

Because that's the kind of guy Wi Yeon-ho is.

But it's not necessarily Wei Yanho's fault.

I've come to realize this by just watching, but Wi Yeon-ho isn't the type of person who tries to do something on his own. That's why it's normal for him not to get into trouble.

Think about it.

How many accidents would happen to someone who thinks that lying around in his room and killing time is his only pleasure in life?

In the first place, aren't accidents something that happens when people meet each other?

So, it would be normal for Wei Yan-ho, who has few contacts and is extremely inactive, not to have an accident.

But strangely enough, incidents and accidents keep happening around Wi Yeon-ho.

Just by standing still, accidents will storm around you like a storm.

If you think about it the other way around, it's pitiful.

You didn't do anything, but just because you were there, all these accidents happened. In fact, since Wi Yeon-ho is such a careless person, if it were a normal person, it would have caused a nervous breakdown.

huh?

This time too.

Normally, it shouldn't be that tangled.

Wei Yanho was just walking down the street, but things got tangled up in him.

What are you talking about?

Listen.

* * *

“……That was a mistake.”

The word mistake may not be appropriate. If the word mistake means committing a wrongdoing unintentionally, then this could not be considered a mistake.

Because this was not a momentary error, but a failure of calculation.

Wei Yanhu, who set out on his journey, soon realized his mistake. It was a pity that he could not think of the mistake that everyone who knew him could think of.

Wei Yanhu, who set out on his journey, found himself faced with two problems.

The first is the destination.

“Where are you going?”

The thought of having to leave crossed my mind, but I had nowhere to go.

To be exact, there are many places to go. After all, there is no set place to go, and you can just go anywhere and hang out. The problem is that he has to experience something new wherever he arrives.

The second is… … .

“When will you arrive?”

Surprisingly, humans are the most enduring animals. Aren't humans capable of walking a hundred miles a day just by walking steadily?

The problem was constant.

Although Wei Yanhu had strong legs, he did not have the endurance to walk steadily for five hours a day.

“It’s been three days.”

It had been three days since he left the holy water market, but he was still wandering the edge of infinity.

If we continued on this path, it might take more than a month just to get out of Hubei.

If you walk a little further, you will come across the cool shade of a tree, and if you walk a little further, you will come across a cool stream, so how can a person continue to walk only on the road?

As I sat in the shade of the tree, eating the dried food I had prepared in advance, I couldn't help but feel sleepy. After taking a deep breath like that, a day had passed.

“Oh, no.”

Even though he had already spent three days like that, Wei Yanhu, who was almost asleep again, suddenly raised his head.

'If this continues, I might end up stuck on the street.'

If the begging had reached the peak of its power like before, then living on the streets wasn't so bad. Just lying down would bring in bundles of money, and it would be possible to roll out of Hubei.

But unfortunately, the current Wi Yeon-ho was not only suffering from regressive begging skills, but was also suffering from a magic spell.

I ate well and slept well, so I gained weight and my skin was so good it was almost dripping with honey.

If you beg with a face like that, you'll most likely get beaten to death.

“That’s too bad.”

Wi Yeon-ho whetted his appetite.

But what isn't there is nothing, and now we have to deal with the immediate situation.

In the end, Wei Yanhui was able to come to one conclusion.

It was a dream to think that I could walk out of this place on my own, so I had to find someone to carry him instead.

Wi Yeon-ho, sitting in a corner of the street, began to look out for people passing by.

Since this is the road leading out of Infinity, if you wait, a carriage will pass by.

“……The carriage will freeze to death!”

Unfortunately, there is a saying in this world that even dog poop is useless as medicine.

Wi Yeon-ho, who realized that he had never been lucky in his life, suddenly realized that there was no carriage in the world that could take him there.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to wait half a day without a single carriage passing by.

“Should I just sleep here today?”

This is Wei Yanhu, who slept on the floor of a cave for five years. He may have been able to avoid the rain, but he lived in a cave full of dampness and where bugs would come out whenever he was bored, so there was no reason for him to not sleep well on the street.

At the moment when I was about to give up everything.

Clink clack clack.

The sound of wheels rolling reached Wei Yanhui's ears.

"carriage?"

I turned my head and saw that something was definitely rolling.

The only difference is that it is not a horse-drawn carriage, but a mule-drawn cart.

Wi Yeon-ho smiled brightly as he saw the ox slowly approaching him.

In his situation, what is there to be concerned about?

It was much better to be carried on the back of a straw-covered cart than to be carried on the hard roof of a carriage.

"hello?"

Wi Yeon-ho jumped up from his seat and spoke to the old man driving the cart.

“What's going on?”

“Excuse me, can I get a ride to where you’re going?”

"whither?"

“Yes. My legs hurt so much right now that I can’t walk. If you’d be so considerate, I’ll take care of it.”

“Fu-sara……”

The old man smiled brightly.

“I don’t plan on expecting a reward for taking someone on the way anyway. But I’m worried that the road might become divided.”

“It’s okay. Just give me a ride to where you’re going.”

“That’s a strange thing to say. Well, it’s good. Let’s ride.”

Wi Yeon-ho bowed politely.

"thank you."

As Wi Yeon-ho climbed onto the mule, the old man patted the mule's rump.

The donkey gave a low neigh and began to pull the cart again.

'Oh, my.'

Lying on the stool and looking up at the sky, I felt incredibly peaceful. My body was moving without me moving my legs, so what could be more enjoyable than that?

“Where are you going?”

“There’s no place in particular. Anywhere other than Hubei is fine.”

“You seem to be a traveler. A wanderer without a fixed home?”

“It’s not exactly like that, but I guess it’s similar. Where are you going, sir?”

“I’m on my way to infinity. I’m going home now.”

“Oh, I see.”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded and did not continue speaking.

“Don’t you have any more questions?”

“Yes? What else should I ask?”

“Usually when you finish talking like that, don’t you ask where you live?”

Wi Yeon-ho smiled and opened his mouth.

“I just need to know where you go. There are many people who don’t like it when you ask them all these questions.”

“Haha, I don’t know if that’s polite or rude.”

“Actually, I’ve never heard the word polite before.”

“You don’t seem like a very rude person, do you?”

“Yeah. It’s weird, right?”

Wi Yeon-ho talked to the old man incessantly. However, after some time passed, he found himself unable to answer on time.

I started to nod off.

“You look very tired.”

“Huh!”

Wi Yeon-ho, who had lowered his head significantly, opened his eyes in surprise.

"sorry."

“No. How about just lying down and taking a nap?”

“Hey, how can you be so rude when you’re just getting a ride? Master said that people should know manners and etiquette.”

The old man laughed heartily.

“I see that you are a very upright person, Master. But isn’t courtesy something that should be mutually acceptable? If I say it’s okay, Master won’t blame me either.”

“Because he is such a meticulous gentleman…….”

“Are you old?”

“I should say he’s really old….”

Should I say I'm old since I've lived as a ghost for a long time?

“It’s okay. I’m sure Master will understand, so just take a deep breath and take a nap. Seeing you doing that behind me makes me feel even more depressed.”

“If that’s true then.”

Wi Yeon-ho laughed, "Hehe," and lay down on the floor.

Judging from the fact that there was no smell from the straw, it must have been newly laid. Wei Yanhui burrowed into the straw. The warmth made him feel sleepy.

“Then I will be rude.”

“Hahaha, if that’s rude, then what in the world isn’t rude? I’ll wake you up when it’s time to leave, so just get some sleep.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Wi Yeon-ho slowly fell into sleep.

“Look here.”

“…….”

“Hey, wake up.”

“Hmm?”

Wi Yeon-ho opened his eyes wide. The sky had already become dark.

“It’s unfortunate, but I think we have to part ways here.”

“Wow, I slept too long.”

Wi Yeon-ho jumped down from the saddle and bowed deeply.

“I will engrave the kindness you have shown me into my bones and never forget it.”

“……There’s no need to do that. I just burned it because I felt like it was a good fit. But is that okay? There aren’t any houses around here.”

Wi Yeon-ho laughed bashfully.

“You can climb a tree and sleep, or you can dig a hole in the ground and sleep. I’m grateful that you gave me a lift here, but it would be shameful to ask for more.”

“I see. Then be careful on your way.”

“Yes, then.”

When Wi Yeon-ho bowed his head once more, the old man smiled broadly and drove the cart away from Wi Yeon-ho.

An old man who had been driving a cart for a long time turned his head and looked back.

“What a funny kid.”

In that moment, the old man's eyes filled with light.

“Red moon.”

"yes!"

As the old man spoke, a man suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell down.

“Please give your order.”

The old man looked at the man called Jeokwol quietly and then slowly opened his mouth.

“Investigate the identity of that child.”

“I will implement it right away.”

"and……."

"yes!"

A voice full of majesty, completely different from what he had heard before, began to flow from the old man's mouth.

“As the leader of the Jeokwoldan, I cannot avoid the eyes of a child. As soon as I finish this matter, I hereby order you to serve a month of imprisonment.”

“……I will do it.”

“Kkkkkkk, this is fun.”

As the old man drove the cart away, Jeokwol, who had been lying on the ground, raised his head. There was a look of doubt in his eyes.

'You couldn't even avoid the child's eyes?'

So does that mean the kid who rode the oxcart earlier was aware of his existence?

Yourself?

It was an unbelievable story, but since it came from an old man, there was no way I could not believe it.

'What is your identity?'

The red moon looked back at the place where it had left Wiyeonho with its low-set eyes.
