The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 710 (710/750)
After the first day of the main competition, it was nighttime.
We arrived at a guest house right after our schedule was over, and it was unusually packed with people.
“Hey… I wonder if there’ll be a place to sit.”
There weren’t usually this many, but maybe because of the martial arts, there were too many.
“I think it’ll be okay since Lady Mo Yong has already decided on a place for me anyways.”
Dang So-yeol said with a smile.
right.
Since it was called by Mo Yong-hee, she must have definitely set up a place.
Because she was a woman who hated doing things in crowded places.
In the meantime, I had to chuckle while watching Dang So-yeol talking.
“You look happy?”
“Huh? Hehe… .”
Does winning feel that good?
Tang So-yeol looked much more smiling than usual.
It is clear that the fluttering gestures stand out and make you feel good.
‘… I was a little scared on stage, you know.’
The expression on his face as he swung his grenade sword with increasing force was one that made me feel scared even when I saw it.
I think that’s what the Poison Queen looked like in her previous life when she killed the Sapa or the Demon Cult members.
Even though times have changed, that expression seems to have remained the same.
Plus.
‘You’ve become a lot stronger.’
The Tang Dynasty fever was much stronger than I expected.
I had expected to vaguely reach the flower garden, but it seemed like I had reached a more perfect place than that.
‘You didn’t even use your own martial arts skills.’
Solitary study and secret techniques.
The martial arts that the Tang clan teaches to its blood relatives were not even used. The martial arts that she wrote about were… .
‘The power of the Dark King.’
It was just the power of the Dark King I had seen before.
It was a black curtain that created a sense of alienation in the inner space. It was a force that was obviously rough.
The problem is.
‘It’s a bit ambiguous to even call that a martial art.’
The Dark King’s power comes from his being a half-dragon and the powers he gains as a result.
If so, does that mean that what Dang So-yeol just wrote is the power of the Dark King?
Dang So-yeol is human and cannot use his powers, but how did he use them?
Advertisements
Of course, the level of technology is overwhelmingly higher for the Dark King, but what’s important is that he used it.
‘Hmm.’
It didn’t feel like I was using the power I saw directly. It wasn’t martial arts either.
So what’s left?
‘Is it witchcraft?’
Tang So-yeol used the power of the Dark King as sorcery.
I thought it would be right to look at it that way.
Since it is not a power, the performance is not good.
It must be a sorcery, because the usage and flow of energy are different for a martial art.
‘Can power be used in a way similar to sorcery?’
If sorcery was originally a technology that the dragon brought with it, then that also fits roughly.
“Confucius?”
As I was lost in thought, Dang So-yeol called me.
I came to my senses again at the sound of that voice.
“Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something else.”
“Are you very tired?”
“I’m not tired.”
What could be tiring? The fight was over in one blow.
“If you’re going to be tired, you’ll be more tired.”
Since I had been hitting the grenade launcher hard, my fatigue level would have been higher than my blood sugar level.
“I’m not that tired. Rather, I feel a little refreshed…?”
“… Uh… Yeah…”
Did he finally release something that had been building up recently by striking with a grenade launcher?
Tang So-yeol had a very refreshed expression, just as she said.
I try to laugh inside while looking at it.
“Ugh… .”
A groan was heard from behind.
It was Bong-soon.
Hearing this, he frowned and asked.
“Why are you like that again?”
“… Ugh, that wasn’t fun… .”
Bong-soon sighs in response to the question.
I thought I knew what you meant.
‘It was definitely a bit bland.’
Dang So-yeol and I fought against Hwa Kyung-mu-in, but Bong-soon fought against an opponent who was just past his peak.

Thanks to that, I was able to defeat my opponent without any problems.
After that, Bong-soon became discouraged.
“You’d be happy if you won. What are you doing? Anyone who sees you will think you lost.”
“I, I also want to fight a strong person…!”
“See you next time. Don’t whine, it’s noisy.”
“… Ugh… .”
As he spoke with a frown, Bong-soon became quiet.
Tsk! He clicked his tongue briefly and turned his head away.
Then the person next to me looked at me and shook his head.
“Oh, you’re literally eating the kid.”
A black-haired beauty.
It was a defeat.
“What good would it do if you were a little more kind to me?”
“Yes, it is. Especially not to him.”
He originally had a bad temper, but he couldn’t do that to Bong-soon.
“But, uh… what happened to Prince Bi?”
I was going to say “elder” but then changed my words.
Because there were people around.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“When did you come? If you came, you could have said something.”
Pajeon was also included in the first round of the main event.
I couldn’t see it and he didn’t really say anything, so I thought it was the first one.
As I was finishing the martial arts and preparing to leave, I heard a commotion coming from somewhere.
There was talk that the fighting dragon was doing something.
At that moment, the Emperor was coming down from the martial arts world.
“What was there to say? It probably wasn’t much anyway.”
That was true, too. So I looked at the statue and asked.
“Are you really going to win?”
“well?”
Pajeon chuckles at my question.
What happened was that smile was so creepy.
“I’ll think about it after looking at the situation.”
“…”
That means you have no intention of backing down quietly.
I sighed inwardly after hearing that.

‘This is becoming annoying.’
This old man is not easy to get along with, so if you are unlucky enough to run into him on stage, he will try to beat you up with all his heart.
Then there was only one thing I had to think about.
‘How to win.’
Defeat the defeatist.
Since you have to win, you find a way to win.
That was it.
While I was repeating those arrogant worries.
“… Over there… it’s Soyeomra and Dokbong.”
“That’s right. It really does have an anti-inflammatory effect.”
I instinctively raised my guard slightly at the sound I heard next to my ears.
“When you look closely, you look younger.”
“Is that young man really Hwagyeong…?”
“They say you’re close friends with Dokbong, and seeing as they hang out together, I guess that’s true.”
“Then the other two… .”
Interesting voices, different from those of just a few days ago.
I’m nervous about the things people say about me and Dang So-yeol.
To be exact, he focused more on stories about Dang So-yeol than me.
“I could tell from afar that he was definitely handsome.”
“That delicate woman is wielding a dagger like that….”
“A great person was born, separate from the Tang clan’s karma.”
There’s a lot to be said about me beating the wind… or something.
If I had to pick the one that got the most talk, it would be Dang So-yeol.
That must mean it was a very powerful appearance.
“A woman who is not even a second-hand person is a Hwagyeong… And that’s at the level of a hundred great masters?”
“Not the best birth since the Dragon.”
“…Except for the fact that he is a blood relative of the Tang family. That is certainly true.”
“One, there is also a clear suspicion that witchcraft was used….”
I heard everything there was to hear, so I took back my feelings.
If it’s that much, I’m sure I’ve got the location.
‘I guess the nickname will change soon.’
Since he crushed the Hwagyeong Muin Yutanggeom in front of so many people, you can’t call Dang So-yeol a mere later index.
Honey, before the martial arts competition ends, Dang So-yeol’s nickname will also change.
We climbed the stairs feeling the pouring gazes.
It was a lot different from what I had planned, but I felt better about Dang So-yeol’s growth than the results of my plans.
Advertisements
I don’t know why, but I just had that feeling.
******************
When I climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, there were noticeably fewer guests than on the first floor.
The third and fourth floors are places that cannot be accessed without certain conditions, so that’s why they say that.
As soon as I got to the fourth floor, I followed the clerk’s instructions and moved.
“Oh, it’s here.”
Soon after, Mo Yong-hee appears, waving her beautiful hand.
Wi Seol-ah was sitting next to me.
From the moment I first came up, Wi Seol-ah was smiling brightly at me.
“You should have eaten first.”
“I just arrived.”
“Don’t lie. You couldn’t have come exactly on time for the appointment. You would have been here much earlier.”
“…”
When the truth is pointed out, Mo Yong-hee closes her mouth for a moment.
Namgungbia was not visible.
I heard that he is in good condition to move around, but needs to rest a little more.
‘That bastard Woohyuk and the little princess didn’t come either.’
They both know what to do.
I wasn’t interested up to that point.
As soon as we sit down, the food comes out.
Since it came out even though I never ordered it, it must have been Mo Yong-hee who had already ordered it.
“I guess you’ve been busy today. Are you okay?”
I laughed in vain after hearing Mo Yong-hee’s words.
“I already know this face?”
“Because it was so noisy. Congratulations to you too, Lady Dang.”
“Ah… Thank you.”
Tang Xiaoyeol reacted as if he was embarrassed by Mo Yonghee’s congratulations.
Unlike the preliminaries, the Mutoje event had a lot of spectators.
So, Mo Yong-hee probably already knows everything.
“I think it was a little too much. Are you okay?”
“Hmm? What?”
“Isn’t it true that Confucius… didn’t want to reveal himself?”
A close match with the Wind Forest and Firefight.
The power that was briefly shown there was enough to make today noisy.
There were some quiet parts thanks to Tang Xiaoyeol, but Mo Yonghee seemed a little worried about that.

“It’s okay. It’s not like I particularly wanted to reveal anything.”
I was just waiting for the right time to reveal it.
furthermore.
“I had to show it to you sooner or later anyway.”
Even if the time is not right, it is difficult to keep it hidden forever.
The circumstances were just right.
“okay….”
After hearing the answer, Mo Yong-hee nodded in agreement.
Even though he was nodding, his expression seemed to indicate that he was thinking deeply about something.
If you leave it like that, they’ll come to their own conclusions.
Mo Yong-hee, lost in thought, picked up a dumpling and ate it.
Slurp. As I chew my food, water starts to fill up my empty glass.
Wi Seol-ah was carefully pouring water.
The funny thing is that I tried to do Dangsoyeol too but missed.
“…thank you.”
“no.”
After pouring my glass, he pours me some Tang So Yeol and then pours me another glass.
Mo Yong-hee, Pae-jon, and Bong-soon were skipped.
Paejon and Bongsoon don’t seem to care, but you can see Mo Yonghee’s eyebrows moving slightly.
Did you two have something?
I felt a strange war of nerves.
“… Yeah, you said tomorrow, right?”
So, as if changing the subject, he asked Wi Seol-ah.
“Yes! That’s right. I’m leaving tomorrow.”
Wi Seol-ah, along with Seong-yul, will be going to the first round of the non-competitive main event.
‘Hmm.’
The fact that Meng’s non-army system is probably the real thing is probably this day.
Most of the people with high name value were deployed that day.
There were a few on the first day, but this one was by far the most frequent.
It can’t be a coincidence.
This is probably something that the other side prepared in advance.
“Okay, work hard.”
“Yes! I will definitely win. I will definitely win.”
Wi Seol-ah smiles and says to my cheering.
I thought it was cute, so I handed her one of the foods on her plate.
Advertisements
‘… But why are you trying so hard to win?’
I don’t know about that, but since she smiles beautifully, let’s move on.
It’s been a while since we’ve all eaten together.
I’ve been having a hard time finding time lately because I’ve been busy with work and practicing.
‘It would have been nice if Namgungbia had been there too.’
It’s just a pity.
I should pack some food and bring it with me when I go.
With that thought in mind, I finished my light meal.
******************
A day passed.
I was walking after finishing my morning practice.
Today was the first day of the non-working week and I had some plans outside.
Amidst the noisy crowd.
I walked around there and looked back.
“are you okay?”
“…huh….”
Behind him, Namgungbia, wearing a cotton turban, was walking along.
It seemed like it had been a long time since the two of them had walked together like this.
“If you feel uncomfortable, tell me.”
“… What if… I say?”
“I’ll either carry you or hug you.”
“inconvenience….”
“I’m kidding.”
“…”
In my farm, Namgungbia rarely frowns.
That was funny, so I grabbed his wrist carefully and pulled him away.
He couldn’t come out yesterday, but he said he could move today, so I took him out.
If possible, I wanted to bring Mo Yong-hee and Dang So-yeol as well, but since they both said they had other plans, I only brought Nam-gung-bia.
The destination is none other than the place where the non-combat event is held.
I headed straight to the stands.
There seem to be a lot more people than yesterday. It seemed like there were a lot of people on the first day.
This first day was absolutely flawless.
“… There are a lot of people… .”
Namgungbia comes a little closer to me as she spits out her words.
He dug into the place with Namgungbia in tow.
Advertisements
I’ve already reserved my seat.
I heard that the seats in the audience are reserved in advance, but when I asked Mo Yong-hee yesterday, she said she got them for me without any problem.
When I asked how I managed to get a seat for a reservation that ended a month ago.
‘Do you really need to know?’
He said that he didn’t need to know to bring up such a creepy word.
Anyway… It would be nice if I could get it.
I barely made my way through the crowd and found two seats.
It was the worst seat of all.
At the very front, there was also a place where famous upper class people and sect leaders sat.
Mo Yong-hee said that she could give him that position if he wanted it, but he refused.
‘That’s a bit burdensome.’
Any suitable location will suffice.
I sat down and stared at the empty stage.
There was a commotion coming from all directions, but I paid no attention.
My eyes were only looking at the stage.
Did you see that gaze? Namgungbia asks me.
“… Seol-ah… Are you worried a lot?”
“what?”
I opened my eyes slightly at those words. When I turned my head, Namgungbia’s indifferent eyes were directed at me.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“… So… you came today… .”
“…”
I couldn’t say no to Namgungbia’s words.
Honestly, what other reason could there be to come?
I just smiled awkwardly.
“That’s true. I didn’t come here because I was worried.”
“…then?”
“I came here more out of anticipation than worry.”
Yeah, looking forward to it.
I’m worried that Wi Seol-ah will go out on stage alone.
But that wasn’t the fundamental reason.
It was the same with Dang So-yeol and Wi Seol-ah.
Anticipation of how those children will look in different lives than in their previous lives.
The sight of them sprouting wings and flying on their own.
I suddenly wanted to see that.
Advertisements
“…”
On that day, Namgungbia, who had been quietly watching, raised her hand and stroked my head.
“what?”
“…just.”
It was strange, but I didn’t necessarily reject it.
While waiting like that for a while, someone appears and hands you something.
There were a few letters, and it seemed like they were probably made into small copies of the match schedule.
I unfolded it straight away and looked for the name.
‘Seongyul… I think he got caught on purpose… and Yeongpung is there too?’
The name of the volcano’s first weapon, the sword dragon Yeongpung, was also seen.
There were also several other volcano faction drones.
I also saw Peng Wujin and Dowangdo. Lastly.
“…uh?”
I paused for a moment at the names written on the bracket.
The flexible Daesanseo of Shaolin, Weiseol-ah.
“…haha.”
I burst out laughing when I saw it clearly on the bracket.
“Yes,” he said with a stiff expression.
“This…”
From the beginning, it felt like a ploy by Meng.
