The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 803 (803/820)
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
To my question, Mukyeon consistently feigns ignorance.
It’s not like I didn’t know that.
‘Where did you notice that?’
The reason why I brought up that condition.
That must be because it was a condition that I had to bring up from the beginning.
It was something I had prepared for before coming up here, while writing a report about the accident.
Maeng can’t abandon me because of my current worth, so he’ll bring it up and use it as an excuse to reduce the punishment for this incident.
Support from two swordsmen?
This is a part that wasn’t necessarily necessary even though the conditions were written down.
What would their support be needed for? It’s actually to dampen the spirits of the major shareholders.
‘An excuse to light a fire.’
It was just a device to create friction.
In reality, weren’t there a few people who went into a fit after hearing that?
I’ve prepared this to use in situations like this, to twist the flow.
‘You knew?’
The old man seemed to have noticed this like a ghost.
Even if I didn’t know all the intentions, I think I at least knew the current meaning.
As if to prove it, the old man immediately brought up the issue of modifying the conditions.
‘Hey.’
I think I understand now.
At that time, I was wondering how to deal with Daejoo’s opposition.
Did you wait for time because it seemed like something was going to happen anyway?
and.
‘No matter what I do, it seems like it will be similar to that old man’s intention. Are you going to use me?’
At the recent Daejoo meeting.
Mukyeon took a stance as if he wanted something from me, and I could vaguely discern his intentions.
Yes, silence.
He is the god of the battlefield who returned to the battlefield and the ghost of the political world.
‘I want to change the water.’
I wanted a change in the Murim Alliance.
A change of scenery that can reduce backlash and turn things around in one go.
Rather than leaving the water that has already stagnated as it is, pour in new water and sweep it away.
Mukyeon wanted to build a new system to prepare for the coming crisis.

To do that, it was necessary to overturn the main pillars, called pillars.
And for that.
‘You’re trying to use me.’
The method the old man chose was none other than me.
They tried to use me to get the big shareholders’ attention. It seems like they are trying to get rid of the ones they need to get rid of.
Honestly, I don’t care.
I’m not going to play along purely with the intention though.
‘I have something I can use too.’
This one too, in the blind, needed to make contact with Mukyeon, so I thought I’d hang out with him for now.
But.
‘They knew about this too?’
The current conversation is as if I have figured out Muyeon’s intentions.
It also means that Muyeon knew my intentions.
Knowing this, he must have called you here straight away.
‘He’s a really ghostly old man.’
I deleted the condition that I was the cause of the accident in case other units rose up due to friction with the main lord.
This will reduce opposition from other battalions.
‘I’m useless anyway and there was a reason to delete it, so it’s okay.’
Silence is also in a good situation as it is being controlled without damage in the middle.
‘ha ha ha.’
I was wondering how I could possibly touch something that was tangled.
‘It’s really not easy.’
That’s why it was difficult to do anything with people who had been in politics for a long time.
‘I see. Is the answer to get rid of it quickly?’
I felt like I would always have more to lose if I stayed with this old man for too long.
“The condition is… I hope that the bookkeeper will use his discretion to conclude things on a good note.”
“I will take that as meaning that it is okay. I will send someone to relay the revised part again.”
“…yes.”
“Originally, it would have been right for you to wait inside the mansion until the truth is revealed. But I will also use my authority for this.”
“… Aren’t you going to get fired if you abuse your power like that?”
“haha.”
It’s a laugh that says that would never happen.
Yeah, I think so too. Where would a crazy guy be who would cut down that old man?
“I will think of it as consideration. I will not forget the wishes of the bookkeeper, Muk.”
“I don’t quite understand what you are talking about, old man.”

It’s a face that looks like he has no idea.
I can’t tell if that was just a joke or if there was really no such intention.
‘No, it’s clear.’
I was sure.
That old man has something to do with me.
They use me even though they doubt me.
That must be the intention of the silence.
It seems like a risky choice, but the old man must do it anyway.
That makes sense.
‘Even if I don’t kill him… I don’t think he has much time on his hands.’
It didn’t seem like there was much time left for Mukyeon.
‘…’
As I thought about it quietly, something came to mind and I moved slightly.
“Mr. Silent Book.”
“yes.”
“What do you want to say? Are you finished?”
“I think I’ve told you everything I wanted to tell you. If you’re busy, you can go back for now. I’ll talk to the Guardians separately.”
“Okay, then I’ll come back to you as soon as I know the progress.”
“Please take care on your way back. I will not be seeing you off.”
“Yes. See you next time.”
He nodded briefly and turned around.
Just as I was about to grab the doorknob and go outside.
“Oh, and Mr. Muk.”
I turned my head slightly and spoke to him.
“That car.”
“yes?”
“Rather than that, try drying some mugwort. Although mugwort has an anesthetic effect, no matter how much you dry it, a slight amount of toxicity remains, so it would be more effective for the pain if you took mugwort.”
“…”
“Then that’s it.”
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Immediately after that.
“… Heh heh.”
Mukyeon whispered with an expression that said, “I’ve been hit once.”
“As expected… It’s a shame.”
There was a deep regret in his voice.

*****************
After finishing the interview with Mukyeon, I returned straight to my quarters.
Since it was after the accident, the way people inside the group looked at me was a bit strange.
Since Mukyeon had already conveyed the message, no one bothered to catch him.
I made a bowl of rice and just threw it away.
And there.
‘Some of them had good expressions.’
It’s a feeling of exhilaration.
A cool emotion could clearly be felt in the face that seemed uncomfortable.
‘Twin Swords. I know exactly what that old man was doing inside.’
Looking at this, it was a part that clearly showed how much the Ssang-i Hwan-geom lived in the wilderness.
Even though he had been in power for quite some time, he was knocked down by me shortly after I came in.
But are there more people who like it?
What on earth have you been up to that you have such a reaction?
It’s really amazing.
‘Anyway. Since Mukyeon said she’d take action, I think this part will work out somehow.’
Mukyeon said that he would cover up the crushed Daeju.
Even though the overall conversation was different, this was the intention.
also.
‘If possible, I can wrap it up for you. Give it a try.’
I also feel that way.
This part was purely my opinion.
‘I need to check this by slowly crossing the line.’
What exactly is Mukyeon’s intention?
How far can you see and how far can you go?
This part had to be checked step by step.
However, there is one thing that worries me a little.
‘It’s ambiguous.’
There are many things in my perspective that are ambiguous when it comes to understanding and acting in silence.
I don’t think it’ll work out for that guy no matter how hard I think about it.
If it felt like I was being played with in my hands, it would have been better to just stay still.
I had to be careful about making decisions and moving alone.
‘Hmm… .’
The opponent is a thief.
If there is a three-star being that reached heaven through martial arts.
Advertisements
He was a being who might have reached heaven in another way.
‘… Even if Cheon Yu-rang-ah is said to have relatively less experience in combat.’
You were a being skilled even at that kind of feeling.
‘I can’t move rashly.’
When making plans in Hanam, I had to put in several times more thought than usual.
Of course, it will be better than usual since I know that Jegal Hyuk will be here soon… .
‘The question is whether the current Zhuge Hyuk can be added to Mo Yan.’
No matter how smart Jegal Hyuk is, he is not the same as he was in his previous life.
Since he wasn’t the type of person to be deeply involved in this matter in the first place, I had to find many other methods.
“after….”
When I think about it, I can’t help but sigh.
There really were more than one or two complicated things.
It’s a frustrating situation to the point where you wonder why there’s so much work to do.
It’s such a mess that I can’t solve each and every one of them with my ignorant head.
“… What the hell are you guys?”
I could barely contain my irritation as I looked at those in front of me.
“How did you know…?”
“…”
The three people sitting in front of me flinch at the question.
They were women with different colored hair. They were all standing with their arms raised.
It was Namgung Bi-a, Wi Seol-ah, and Dang So-yeol.
It looks like he’s being punished.
It wasn’t me who ordered it. It was their own position.
“I clearly tried to do it without you knowing. How did you know?”
Even if I ask, I don’t get an answer.
Everyone is busy avoiding my gaze.
Among them, I held the ball of the center’s Wi Seol-ah.
“Eww…!”
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
“No, no, it hurts… .”
Although she says she’s sick, Wi Seol-ah doesn’t really give an answer.
It was the same for other kids too.
The reason for gathering them all together and harassing them like this was none other than this.
“… How did you know and apply?”
This was because all three of them applied to Seongryongdae.
Advertisements
I knew they would put it up right away if I knew, so I posted the notice the day before and started recruiting in a hurry, but when I looked today, all three were already in.
‘I tried so hard to get your attention.’
Not only did they post the notice, they also used several methods to attract attention without anyone noticing.
I thought the operation was successful because no one seemed to care at all.
‘… All three of these came in.’
It means that they knew about it in advance and prepared for it. They pretended not to know and then suddenly showed up like this.
Because of that, things got messed up.
Honestly, even if I had noticed, I would have just eliminated them all…
‘It’s been ruined since the time of Namgungbia.’
Things got complicated when Namgungbia started sparring with Eunranggeom.
Now, word about Namgungbia has begun to spread quietly in Hanam.
Both his skills and the way he displayed them were perfect for becoming known.
Since I’ve been staying at home recently, there was no reason for such rumors to spread.
It ended up like this after coming out once.
It’s not just Namgungbia.
“…Why are you guys here too…?”
Seomwolgeom Wisul-ah.
The exclusive rights of the party.
This is a time when his reputation has risen significantly due to his impressive performance in the non-combat event.
But those two also applied to Seongryongdae and came looking for me.
Since I had already passed Namgungbia, I ended up accepting these two as well.
Thanks to that, one more line of nonsense was added to my rumor.
What did they say?
‘Did the King of the Castle say that he put his women in Seongryongdae so that he could do whatever he wanted with them?’
As soon as I heard it, I wanted to find out who started the rumor and tear it apart.
‘I’m really going to die.’
It was a situation where I couldn’t help but sigh.
“We can do it too.”
“That’s right… Since it has come to this, wouldn’t it be good to try hard?”
“…huh.”
“after.”
What are you working so hard for?
Of course I’ll do well at what I’m good at. But that’s not what’s important right now.
Since I’ve already received it, I can’t do anything more, but I still regret it.
‘I shouldn’t have just accepted it.’
Advertisements
If I hadn’t received it from Namgungbia, this problem wouldn’t have happened.
Because of that, this is what happened.
Okay, let’s say that’s the case for now.
“How did you know? Who are you?”
“…”
As expected, there is no answer for all three.
“I’ll let the person who spoke up get away with it.”
“that is…!”
But Dang So-yeol reacts immediately to the words he blurted out.
Bam-!
“Bye!”
Weiseol-ah, who was in the center, flaps her arm and covers Dang So-yeol’s mouth.
“… Sister.”
“… Ugh… Ugh.”
Dang So-yeol quickly nodded his head at Wi Seol-ah’s soft call.
I frown at that sight and try to ask again.
“I really won’t say anything…!”
-Master.
“…”
I had to stop getting angry at the voice in my ear.
It was Nahi’s telegram.
-I apologize for being rude during our conversation.
-…what’s the matter?
This is an important situation, but Nahi doesn’t usually intervene like this, so I asked first.
Okay then.
-Nothing different.
-I just heard that the Dark King arrived in Hanam.
“…”
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a nickname.
