The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 818 (818/820)
Bam.
A torn piece of leather falls to the floor.
I glanced at it and then looked at the man in front of me.
The alluring beauty that was there just a moment ago has disappeared, and in front of you is a handsome young man.
The slightly silvery white hair is unique.
I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when I saw that.
‘No matter how much I look at it, it’s still amazing.’
How is that possible?
So much has changed in an instant.
Disguise is nothing more than something that is put on top of the original body. So, there are definitely parts that are clearly visible.
This is especially true when a man disguises himself as a woman.
Since physical characteristics are an issue, it is usually possible to cross-dress, but it is often difficult to cross-dress.
‘Can it be this sophisticated?’
The Dark King even solved that problem.
Not only are her arms and legs thinner and her body lines softer, but her full breasts are also incredibly natural.
How is that possible?
‘At first, I thought maybe they were using some kind of gas transformation technique.’
I don’t think that’s the case. If there was a way, then maybe…
‘That uniform you’re wearing.’
Black uniform. I thought that might be the reason.
The tight-fitting clothes made her body lines look elegant.
It seems like it forcibly transforms the body…
‘Then there are no restrictions on movement?’
If the pressure was enough to change the shape of the body like that, it would naturally cause problems with movement, but the Dark King appeared free as if there was no such thing.
Even though she looked feminine, it was impossible not to be fooled.
‘That blunt person… I never thought he would do something like that.’
How surprised I was when I first saw it.
The quiet and emotionless Dark King is acting all coquettish and acting like a woman.
‘And you even changed your voice.’
The Dark King even used a woman’s voice to manipulate some principle.
The Dark King disappeared and Yeonhong, the charming woman, became herself.
It was only when I saw it that I understood.
‘Why didn’t I know the identity of the Dark King until now?’
I thought I didn’t know the identity of the witness because they killed all of them, but seeing this makes me change my mind.

I think it was just because he had excellent disguise skills.
‘Even if you disguise yourself as a different gender, you’re still so perfect.’
Even if you were to use a specific item, that would be surprising.
‘Not only did they make up for the missing arm, but they also made up for the height difference… .’
The arm that was torn off while explaining something to me last time.
The Dark King even made it into a disguise and even extended his hand to the key.
For a blackmailer, he’s not exactly small.
This means that when you disguise yourself as a woman, you become considerably taller.
Even if you touch everything else, it’s impossible to raise the height, so that’s bound to look weird.
‘It doesn’t seem that way, strangely enough.’
Even though I am tall, I don’t feel out of place.
How could that be possible?
‘I didn’t do anything to the height.’
Even though I was just walking around tall, no one looked at me strangely. It was as if they didn’t really notice how tall I was.
‘Did you use the energy?’
A method of using energy to kill presence. Is that what it was applied to?
If it was applied, how would something like that be possible?
It’s interesting.
Anyway, since there is a gas transformation technique, I don’t really need it, but since it is a method I have never seen before, I am curious.
“It’s amazing every time I see it.”
He expressed his admiration with sincerity. Then the dark king responded nonchalantly.
“If you want, I can teach you.”
I’ll tell you this in a calm manner, as if it’s not really some great secret.
“… No, I don’t really have any intention of learning anything.”
As I said before, I declined because I didn’t really need it. It would take too long to learn from the Dark King now.
‘There’s already a mountain of things I have to learn. That’s too much.’
You can’t learn things you don’t necessarily need to learn just because you’re curious. And you don’t have time for that.
“I’ll ask next time if I have any questions.”
“All right.”
“But, the dark king.”
“yes.”
“… Was it really necessary for it to be a woman?”
Disguise is all well and good. Was it really necessary to pretend to be a woman named Yeonhong?
I was wondering about that.
Wouldn’t it be more complete and comfortable to transform into a man?
Advertisements
That’s what I meant when I asked.
“This is more comfortable.”
The Dark King explains to me in his characteristically emotionless voice.
“In terms of gender ratio, it is easier to manage others if you disguise yourself as a woman.”
“… Hmm.”
Manager.
Are you talking about the sight of them being locked up in a fishbowl like I mentioned earlier?
If so, the manager did as the king said.
‘… Everything is managed with just one word from the Dark King.’
Those guys who move like a swarm of bees when they want something.
When you see that, it’s clear that the manager did it.
‘It’s because I feel so sorry for you.’
If you don’t know that he’s a man on the inside and are obsessed with his looks, what will happen when you find out the truth later?
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it will be a very good result.
of course.
‘I don’t think the Dark King will be caught, though.’
He’s the queen, so he’ll do whatever he wants. That’s exactly my belief.
“Yes. Well… I don’t mind if you just do what you want… .”
Let’s skip this part and get to the main point first.
“I just met with the Lord of Gyecheonmun. Do you know anything about the Lord of Gyecheonmun?”
“I know.”
That’s a quick answer. I thought the dark lord who runs the water fountain would know something. And I was right.
“If so, are you aware of any special circumstances that I should pay close attention to?”
After hearing the question, the Dark King remains silent for a moment and then quickly speaks.
“I think the information I know is not that different from what you know.”
“Hmm.”
Well, that means it’s faster to find out for yourself since there’s a difference…
“If you want, I can look into it.”
“Oh, no. There is another way to find out about this, so it’s okay. I have something else to ask you.”
“Please speak.”
“I heard that the current head of the Gyecheonmun clan is in contact with another force and is plotting something. Could you please look into this other force?”
“All right.”
“Uh… yes.”
I’m rather embarrassed by the answer that comes too easily.
The Dark King simply nodded his agreement without any hesitation.

“Do you have a deadline in mind?”
“… The sooner the better. If possible, within three days. To be exact, before the arrival of the Blue Dragon Lord, that would be best.”
“I have confirmed it. If you do, I will prepare it right away.”
“Yes, please.”
Fortunately, the Dark King offered to help. I tried to bow to him in gratitude.
“Thank you… for this.”
Before that, the Dark King had already disappeared right before my eyes.
Even the traces of the torn cotton swab on the floor and the red clothes that had been left behind had disappeared.
Did you clean everything up in this short period of time?
“Still fast.”
My senses have gone up and I can barely detect movement, but it seems the Dark King is still fast.
It’s a shame. If you could figure that out, you wouldn’t have to die so often.
‘If the speed of the Dark King is understood, can it be said that he has reached the level of the Three Lords?’
I think so, maybe not.
How long will it take… Oh, no.
‘Even if I can’t do it, I’ll finish it in three years.’
It’s not about how long it will take, it’s about how long it will take.
That’s what I needed.
Even if you can’t do it in three years, you can still break through the three levels.
As soon as he made that promise, he burst into laughter.
‘If the world had heard that, they would have thought I was crazy.’
If it were as easy as it sounds, any dog or cow would do it.
How could I possibly reach the level of Samjon in just three years? No matter how much I thought about it, it was an absurd promise.
‘As one of the great three said.’
Even if something doesn’t work out.
“Make it happen somehow.”
Paejon took a deep breath, repeating the crazy words he habitually spouted.
“Okay. Let’s move on.”
There was still a lot of work to do.
******************
It’s time for everyone to slowly fall asleep after the hash has passed.
It is time for the agents to stand guard within the branch.
At that late hour, someone came to my room.
It was Tang Xiaoyeol who had just finished training.
“I want to see the Lord.”
Advertisements
Tang Xiaoyeol had just finished his training and washed his face lightly, so his hair was slightly wet.
I glanced at it and let out a small cough.
“Sorry for calling so late at night.”
“No. It was something that had to happen.”
“… I told you that you could speak normally when it was just the two of you.”
“ah.”
When I say this after seeing the hardened feeling, Tang So-yeol makes a face as if saying, “Oh no.”
Then it quickly changed into a hearty laugh.
“This has become a habit… hehe.”
“Are you fit for the job of a lieutenant?”
Dang So-yeol paused for a moment after hearing the question, then said.
“There’s still a lot I don’t know, so it’s a little difficult, but it’s okay.”
“I can change it if you want.”
There are many who want the position of vice-captain.
Right now, there are people like Wi Seol-ah and Nam Gung-bia, and there are other members who would do it if they were told to.
So, if it becomes burdensome, you can come down. That’s what I meant.
“No. I can do it. Trust me.”
Tang So-yeol immediately spoke to me with an intense gaze.
“Uh… Okay. Then that’s good.”
Is this a position you really want? I couldn’t understand it because it was a position where you had to do a lot of useless things.
“Anyway. That’s that.”
The reason I called Dang So-yeol in the middle of the night. That had to be resolved first.
“I have to visit the Tang Dynasty in a few days. Could you please send a letter to the head of the household?”
“Uh… Is this the Tang Dynasty?”
“Oh, since you’re in Sacheon, you should probably go to your parents’ house. I have something to say when I stop by, so please let me know.”
“Um, yes. I understand. But, Lord… No, wasn’t your Highness also in contact with my father?”
“… I had to do it.”
It’s past tense.
As Dang So-yeol said, we are often in contact with the Dangmun because of the restoration of Dokcheondan.
Originally, he had been in direct contact with the King, but recently he had been exchanging letters with Sogaju.
The reason why the contact with Sogaju suddenly changed is none other than this.
“… The head of the party is a bit angry with me. You help me.”
That guy is mad at me.
“Yes…? Father? What’s that all of a sudden…?”
“There is something like that… So I have a favor to ask.”
Advertisements
“Ah… yes.”
I can’t explain why.
This is especially true for Dang So-yeol.
It wasn’t because of me, it was because of the Poison King.
As long as I tell Dang So-yeol that I am hated for this and that.
‘That old man. It won’t end with him being upset.’
I don’t know how the Poison King will come out.
Maybe it will go from being moderately angry to resentful?
For that reason, I had to ask Dang So-yeol to tell me that I was going to the Tang Dynasty.
Because if I said I was going, it was obvious that they would prepare something troublesome.
“Can I just tell you that I’m leaving?”
“Yeah, I wrote that I’m definitely going with you.”
“Oh, I understand… Then, when should I send you my message?”
“Hmm. Probably after the Blue Dragon Lord arrives… I think it’ll be about five days.”
Three to five days. Just right.
To that extent.
‘You can even spread bait. You can also find out about the Gyecheonmunju.’
At the same time, you can also reach out to the branch manager.
This was the time for it.
Of course, this is only possible if the Dark King moves and the branch manager moves as I want… .
‘No problem.’
I’m not particularly worried.
I knew the Dark King’s abilities, and the branch manager is not out of his expectations in my opinion.
At the same time, the iron line was already moving, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.
‘Now all that remains is how I move.’
A lot depends on which option I choose.
However, the goal will not change in the end.
Because that was the way the situation was set up.
“Then, I have a favor to ask.”
“yes.”
I asked Tang Xiaoyeol for help and looked outside.
It’s a moonlit night.
Looking at that, for some reason I had a feeling that things would go well.
“Well, for the remaining few days… I’ll try scattering some bait here and there.”
“Huh? Bait?”
Advertisements
Tang So-yeol reacts with a nod to the quietly whispered words.
He said that with a smile while looking at it.
“Oh, I have some things to catch.”
“If you go fishing… um, are you going to go fishing?”
“Similar.”
If it’s fishing, then it’s fishing.
The difference is that you’re not trying to catch fish.
‘I’m just trying to catch a blue dragon, you know.’
I’m cleaning the celestial sphere.
Cheongryong of the Moorim Alliance.
I was thinking of catching it, cutting it up, and eating it raw.
******************
Time passed like that and four days passed.
As I expected, the Blue Dragon. The Blue Dragon Lord, Ilcheonggeom, appeared with his men at the Sacheon Branch.
“Holy King–!!”
That too.
“You bastard! Where are you? I’ll kill you right now!”
He was quite angry and had his sword drawn.
