Episode #65. expedient.
“Anyway, isn’t it a big deal?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The power of the Constellation I absorbed. You’ve been struggling for a long time to solve this, haven’t you?”
After cutting the snake that connects the end to the end.
Limon was suffering from the remnants of the starlight that permeated his body.
It’s not bad to be able to use the power of the Constellation, but I had to feel quite uncomfortable because I couldn’t control that ability as I wanted and because of the extreme sense of difference.
“I was prepared for the worst case of closed-door training.”
The only way is swordsmanship training.
Even so, the progress was so slow that it would have taken 10 years if it stayed the same.
“That’s embarrassing…”
“Oh, if it was, our plan to eat and sleep at the Seven Dragons would have gone awry.”
“no. If the Swordsman closes down, as soon as I get married, I’ll end up in a simple, single-handed battle situation, right?”
“Did you mean that it was difficult!”
“Is there anything more difficult than this for a bride who is about to get married?”
“Tsk Anyway, I found a solution, so that’s okay.”
“Yes, it is very fortunate.”
While Limon was in trouble.
An unexpected solution was found.
That is the dark violin I got from the amusement park I went to with Li Qingyu.
To be precise, it was playing through it.
“I didn’t know that the cursed instrument would help melt the Constellation’s power.”
“That is what I mean.”
The moment when I was able to play by the power of the cursed violin that moved the owner at will.
Limon could feel it clearly.
It means that the remnants of the starlight, which had remained immovable like rocks until now, began to melt like lumps of salt hit by a shower.
“Thanks to that, it’s nice to be able to control the power of the Constellation a little…”
“Is there anything you regret?”
Li Qingyu tilted her head.
To her, Limon said with a disapproving face.
“I find it absurd that the power of a Constellation that I have barely been able to handle properly is only this ability to disguise.”
“To say that it’s just that, I think it’s too much of a waste of time to say that it’s a reverse technique that is as good as a white-faced shellfish.”
Li Qingyu made a strange expression.
Limon’s disguise is the appearance of a young man named ‘Lee’ that he uses when he is being trained by Julia.
It was a transformation ability that he was able to use thanks to melting the fragments of starlight while playing the violin of deep darkness.
Maybe because it originated from the fragments of the snake that dealt with lies and deceit.
The camouflage went beyond just changing the appearance and even had the power to interfere with perception itself.
You can become a different person just by putting a dot on your face, or you can look like a doctor just by wearing a white coat.
It is truly the pinnacle of reverse magic.
If you were an actor, you could digest a thousand roles and if you were an assassin, it was a dream-like ability to infiltrate anywhere.
However, Limon was sceptical.
“Anyway, it’s a disguise. I’m not a clown or an assassin, what can I do if I have this ability?”
“Anything like that, you’re using it well when you meet Julia, right?”
“That’s it. Looking at my bare face, I think I’ll run away before I learn anything, so I made this reluctantly.”
The bluebird sitting on top of Limon’s head giggled when he heard that.
[Even so, the fact that he let two teachers run away on the first day shows the dignity of the team leader that can’t be hidden even with a fake face…]
Damn it!
[Aww! Why are you hitting me?]
“I’m talking about adults in a arrogant way, where are you interfering and making a fuss?”
[Because I’m an adult too!?]
“That’s a story from a previous life. How can a guy who hasn’t even gone down yet pretend to be an adult?”
[Mr. Wu! If your mental age is an adult, you are an adult! Besides, am I new? Anyway, after a few months, you’ll soon become an adult!]
“Come, so come and eat some more earthworms.”
Looking at Yuna-gyeong, who raised her wings and screamed, and Limon, who made fun of the blue bird, Li Qingyu smiled.
“Anyway, it’s been a week already, and seeing that Julia is still there, it’s good that she’s taking lessons well, unlike before.”
“….”
[….]
“Why is that?”
“No what. Lessons are going well. okay. You’re getting it.”
[Team leader salivates…]
“Blue, eating young beasts is work. Come on, eat a lot.”
[Whoop whoop whoop!]
Limon shoveled the cookie into his beak and executed both silence and murder at the same time.
Then he asked Li Qingyu, who was tilting his head over Yu Na-kyung, who had fluttered his wings and collapsed and convulsed.
“So why did I find you? You wouldn’t have interfered with my training just because you were curious if the class was going well.”
“Oh, that’s because of the expedient I mentioned before.”
“If it’s an expedient… is that what you said when you asked me to take charge of the affiliate?”
“yes. I was just about ready.”
At Li Qingyu’s answer, Li Mon made an unexpected expression.
“It was pretty fast. It wouldn’t have been that easy to solve.”
“It wasn’t surprisingly difficult, was it?”
“okay?”
“Yes, it turns out that there are many cases similar to sword fighting in this country. So I took a look at that.”
“At least I know of the first person in this country who held the president and held hostages?”
“Except that precedent, of course.”
Li Qingyu smiled and held out a small case.
Limon, who received the case and opened it, checked the contents and made a strange expression.
“…Princess, what is this?”
“As you can see, it’s a swordsman’s business card.”
“It says that I am the representative of ‘Guardian’, a company dedicated to security, security, and auditing of Leviathan affiliates.”
Like an expensive tea.
A luxurious business card made by plating letters in gold on a thin plate made of pure silver.
Li Qingyu calmly replied to Li Mon, who was frantically holding a business card that was more expensive than its value.
“Because that’s the affiliate that the swordsman will be in charge of from now on.”
“…I heard you referred to a case similar to mine?”
“It seems that there are many cases in which high-ranking public officials in this country become outside directors of conglomerates after they retire, or start their own companies and receive the former honorary treatment.”
“Princess, that’s not the whole building, it’s called a parachute…”
“Is it something else?”
“The difference is that two letters become three letters.”
Limone gave up on explaining the difference in language between these complex allyonic synonyms, apocalypse and parachute.
Instead, he asked with a confused face.
“Princess, I told you that I was busy training and didn’t have time for this kind of work. But what are you going to do if I give you the position of president of a company with so many jobs?”
“are you okay. Even if the swordsman doesn’t work, no one will say anything.”
“What do you mean?”
Limon put on a puzzled expression.
Even if no one else knew, the elders who had put forward the condition that he would take charge of the affiliate and set up a performance couldn’t wait to see him play.
Seeing him like that, Li Qingyu smiled meaningfully.
“Do you know what it is usually said to have swordsmith security, guards, and audits in one place?”
“Is it too much work?”
“No, they say they leave the fish shop to the cat.”
“…what?”
Blink your eyes for a while.
Limon, who soon realized the meaning of her words, asked with an absurd expression involuntarily.
“Are you asking me to be your classmate?”
“That is a bit of an outdated expression. These days, more people use the expression “non-profit.”
“Whether that or that, you mean to be the practical first person to wield information under the favor of those in power, right?”
“No, but the elders and others might think so.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mon frowned at Li Qingyu’s answer.
Then, tapping the table with his fingers, he suddenly opened his mouth after being lost in thought.
“In short, is this blackmail?”
“If I had to compare it. No one in the clan really wants a swordsman to work hard in an organization like this.”
“Isn’t that natural? It’s like giving a sword to a swordsman.”
An alumni who wielded Moorim in the past.
Such as the secret police or the FBI during the Cold War.
Organizations that handle information with whales, are responsible for security, and even have the authority to inspect have exercised overwhelming power in any era.
What if the person in charge was Limon?
In the eyes of the Black Dragon Clan, he would look like a murderer with a license to kill.
In reality, the murderer is so busy that even if he shuts himself up in the corner of his room, if he doesn’t know what’s going on, he can’t help but shudder.
“Because the more hostile the organization itself is in the first place, the more you want it to be lazy.”
“Isn’t that the reason why all tax offices and prosecutors become corrupt as a result?”
“Yes, but the small difference is that we have already fallen and started.”
“It doesn’t sound like a small difference at all?”
“It must be because of your mood.”
I waited for a moment to stare at Li Qingyu, who smiled brightly.
Limon scratched the back of his head.
“Once I understood that the more I played, the better it was. Are you really okay? If you don’t work, it seems like things will come out later.”
They are elders eager to catch fault.
Even if he noticed right away, if he found out that the guardian was a hollow gangjeong, it was clear that he would attack and bite him.
“Don’t worry. Even if the swordsman doesn’t work, the guardian will.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that I have already prepared everything.”
“…?”
Limon put on a puzzled expression.
Li Qingyu smiled at him, and instead of giving a detailed explanation, he calmly opened his mouth.
“Come on in.”
It was right after that.
It is said that a person who opened the door and entered as if he had been waiting for them bowed politely to them.
“Did you call, Princess?”
“You should know what to do from now on, right?”
“yes.”
Tall, short hair.
A semi-suit with a slender physique.
From a neat face to cold eyes.
At first glance, it was hard to tell whether she was a woman dressed as a man or just a nice-looking man, but the neutral-looking woman slightly turned her head.
Then, looking at Limon with blue eyes as cool as ice, he bowed respectfully.
“I will greet you first. As of today, I am Wei Ling, who has been appointed as the swordsman’s secretary.”
“…secretary?”
Limon looks like he’s talking about dog eating grass.
Li Qingyu said lightly to him.
“Because the swordsman became the representative, at least nominally. I think there should be at least one attendant.”
“I don’t need anything like that?”
“You’d better take it anyway. A competent attendant is helpful in every way.”
Li Mon, who had a sour expression on his face, narrowed his eyes when he heard Li Qingyu’s meaningful words.
Then, while looking at her with a smile and Wei Ling with a cold face, he asked casually.
“What kind of help, for example?”
“well. Depending on the case, it may be a business advice or a replacement for a few simple tasks.”
“…Does that sound like you might be able to take on all the company work in some cases?”
“Oh, maybe.”
It seems that the idea did not exist.
Li Qingyu put on a surprised expression.
Limon laughed at her natural performance.
“In short, take on all the work and become the president of the pants and focus on training while receiving only the results?”
“There is no need to be pessimistic. Hiring outstanding subordinates and making them work well is also the ability of superiors.”
“That is nonsense made up by incompetent superiors to steal the ball from their subordinates.”
Limon flinched at Li Qingyu’s shamelessness.
‘Is this the original intention?’
Somehow, I thought I easily accepted the elders’ condition to build a performance by running an affiliate.
It was obvious from the beginning that it was a calculation to assign competent subordinates so that even monkeys could achieve results.
“But you think you won’t be able to be as competent as a normal person if you want to achieve a level of achievement that even the elders can’t bet on?”
“No need to worry.”
Before Li Qingyu could answer.
Wei Ling coldly opened her mouth.
Then, looking directly at Limon with cold, sunken eyes, he cut it off.
“In terms of work, my lack of ability won’t cause any trouble.”
“Huh?”
A blatant hostility in his voice.
Limon raised the corner of his mouth at the hostility that was so sharp and straight that it felt even cool.
Then, I glanced at Li Qingyu.
“You can believe it. Wei Ling is the most talented person in my family that I trust and rely on.”
“Would it be all right if I gave you that kind of person as my secretary?”
“Because it is that important.”
At that moment, what appeared on Wei Ling’s face was blatant relief.
Even though they had the same cold expression, they looked weak enough to recognize the difference at a glance.
But that was only for a moment.
“Of course, if you don’t like the swordsman, I can change you to someone else. How are you?”
“…!”
Seeing Wei Ling’s pale face, Limon let out a laugh.
It was because he seemed to have a general understanding of Li Qingyu’s intentions why he wanted to hire this woman who was hostile to him as his secretary.
But Limon didn’t bother to point that out.
Instead, I just looked back at Wei Ling.
“Can I call you Wei Ling?”
“yes.”
“Okay then, I’ll hear the last name later.”
“I will never allow you to use my pseudonym with my mouth, even later.”
“You’ll know that when you see it.”
Wei-Ling coldly replies as if she doesn’t like it when her name is called.
But instead of getting angry, Limon giggled as if he had found a fun toy.
And he said it as if he had just remembered it.
“Oh, and if you need advice, ask anytime. Even if you don’t know stealth, I can teach you a little about swordsmanship.”
Whether he likes it or not, he has become an attendant, so he can do that much.
Limon said casually.
Then, looking at Wei Ling, he made a grumpy expression.
“Weiring of the non-resonant sword style.”
“…”
The former princess’ escort warrior.
However, Cao Wei-ling, the woman who was dismissed from the position and appointed as Li Mon’s secretary, did not answer.
I just stared at Limon with eyes that made me want to stab him in the back at any moment.
Cao Wei-ling with a cold face.
Limon Asfelder laughs fiercely.
Li Qingyu smiled at the sight of two completely different faces while the blue bird choked on the snack and collapsed and convulsed.
“I’m glad that we get along well.”
