Side Story Episode 35. Covert Mission (3)
“Did you get the permit?”
“don’t worry.”
The sight of the two people taking off their regular clothes and fully armed was definitely different from usual.
Yang Geon wore a black military uniform that was tight enough to reveal his body shape. Unlike before, he had a short sword strapped to his back and it looked very sturdy.
Juyeon-gyo also wore tight-fitting clothing and a thin long cloth that reached her thighs. When you take it apart one by one, it looks quite unique, but it is a strange costume that is easy to overlook when you encounter it.
Yang Geon, with his arms crossed, ate his appetite.
“Why is this kid so late?”
“I’m not drunk yet.”
“It’s almost done. “It’s time to come.”
“Don’t be so nervous. “If that’s the case, nothing will work.”
“You’re not nervous. “I’m doing that because I’m annoyed.”
“Why are you so annoyed?”
Yang Geon waved his fist in the air.
“Damn it! “I didn’t get to drink the celebratory drink!”
Juyeongyo looked at Yang Geon with dumbfounded eyes.
It was then.
“I’ll drink it after the mission is accomplished.”
The two people turned their heads and saw Lee Cheon-sang walking along Soro.
Yang Geon, who was about to hit him lightly, opened his eyes round.
“Now it’s here… … what? “What did you pack so much?”
I brought a fairly large bundle with me. It didn’t look that heavy, but its volume was as big as Lee Cheon-sang’s upper body.
Lee Cheon-sang asked, putting the bundle on the floor.
“Have you received permission to leave school?”
“of course.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded and squatted down to unpack the bundle.
“what’s this?”
The faces of the two people who looked inside with curious eyes suddenly became stiff.
“you… … ?!”
“I brought four pairs each. “Take care of one by one.”
“Where did you get this? “You really stole it?”
“I don’t know where these items are kept.”
“Then how did you get it? “Isn’t this something used by members of the resistance combat unit?”
Yang Geon, a former member of the Jinma University Reserve Corps, knew exactly the identity of these items.
The same was true for Juyeongyo. Hwanhee Won was in charge of Shingyo’s household affairs, and he knew most of the items handled by the combat unit.
Lee Cheon-sang picked up an item.
A yellow bead that looked a little larger than a human eyeball was a smoke bomb.
“This is an item before it was improved. It is less efficient than those used by active-duty troops. Still, it will be useful in unexpected situations.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked up at Yang Geon.
“He must have used it since he is from the Jinma University Reserve Corps.”
“… … “I tried it.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes looking back at Joo-gyo were still emotionless.
“Do you know how to write?”
“I know what it is, but I don’t know how to write it.”
“It’s my first time too. “I heard how to use it, but I couldn’t confirm how much power it actually has.”
Lee Cheon-sang held up yellow, red, and black beads and a black armor.
“The rest is breastplate and greaves. It was said that this ejection armor could also be used for defense.”
“The official name is Sinpyobigap (迅鏢臂鉀). It has a fine thread that boasts tremendous tension. The length of the Seinseung tied to the armor is exactly 9 to 9 inches and is used for surprise attacks, capture, and escape.”
“You know me well.”
“Because I’ve used it quite a bit. No, that’s not important right now!”
Yang Geon’s face became serious.
“Where did you get this?”
“There is no time. “Keep the three pairs, and show us a demonstration with the remaining pairs.”
“You bastard! Start by telling me where and how you got it! “These items cannot be leaked without official permission, not even from the heads of the Naeongseong combat unit or even from the principals of Samwon!”
Juyeongyo nodded and agreed with Yang Geon’s words.
“That’s true.”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“A lot of people will leak it.”
“It must be so, secretly! That’s not the problem! Anyone other than authorized combat unit members who misuses these items will be immediately punished… … !”
For a moment, Yang Geon’s eyes wavered.
Lee Cheon-sang said.
“It is a safe item. “As long as you don’t get caught by the school leaders.”
“… … you?!”
“Surviving comes first. “Stop talking nonsense and start demonstrating.”
“Who did you get it from?”
“You don’t need to know.”
Yang Geon’s face became increasingly red.
“good. I know very well that your mistake is significant. But why did I get this? Even if the Amman mission was suspicious, was there a need to bring items that would be destroyed if caught?”

“You don’t have to worry about the penal court.”
“The criminal court is not the problem! Even if the Criminal Justice Party is watching your back, it cannot be said that there are no powerful people in competition with the Criminal Law Party! “If they dig in here, it’s all over!”
“Do you want to survive?”
“… … !”
“Whether you die on a mission or by being caught, it’s the same thing.”
“… … .”
“It is wise to solve the problem at hand first. “If you don’t like it, get out of the mission.”
“… … Damn it.”
Yang Geon lowered his head and grumbled, as if he had been caught badly.
“Aren’t you going to use it anyway? “It’s obvious that whether you live or die, you’ll end up in one group, so how can you escape?”
“Then stop wasting time and start demonstrating. “There is no textbook as authentic as the demonstration of an expert.”
Yang Geon sighed deeply.
“The reserve unit uses items before improvement. So, I’ve dealt with all of this stuff. “The method is simple.”
“So, try it.”
“Are you stupid? If these items were used here, there would be an uproar. Even if you give a demonstration, you have to go out and show it.”
“good.”
Lee Cheon-sang quickly gathered up his share of items.
“Let’s go out first.”
* * *
The outer castle gate of Shingyo boasted a truly enormous size.
It is said that the gate was made of a specially manufactured steel alloy that would not be scratched by any battering ram and would not collapse even if hit by artillery.
As long as it is maintained only twice a year, it will not rust and is strong against acids, so there is no need to worry about corrosion, so it symbolizes invincibility for a thousand years.
“Whoa.”
Juyeongyo took a deep breath.
“It’s been a long time since I last saw you. “The air feels different.”
Yang Geon also took a deep breath, just like Juyeon Gyo. He also seemed to have a special feeling about being out of school for the first time in a long time.
Of course, it wasn’t Lee Cheon-sang.
“It will be twenty miles to the forest over there. “I’ll give you a demonstration there.”
“… … “He doesn’t know how to control the mood.”
The three quickly deployed their magic and reached the forest.
The forest made up of beautiful trees was quite dense. Although it was winter, the trees in the southern part of the central plains were still showing off their fresh vitality.
“Let’s begin.”
“Previously.”
Yang Geon crossed his arms.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“I would have said I didn’t have time.”
“know. “I just want to check something.”
“what?”
“I won’t ask who I received these items from. But there must be a reason why I brought this.”
“… … .”
“You seem to know the other side of this mission. Let’s hear about it first.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Yang Geon in silence.
Yang Geon also looked at Lee Cheon-sang intently, as if he would not give in this time.
Juyeongyo, who was looking at the two people in turn, sighed a little and opened his mouth.
“Our lives depend on it. “I don’t think it’s something you can solve on your own.”
“Know.”
“Then hurry up and tell me.”
“I was thinking of saying something. However, I was wondering how to say it.”
Yang Geon’s eyes lit up.
The Lee Cheon-sang he saw was a person who had no worries in handling matters. Although he had very little empathy, he had a sharp insight and wisdom that went beyond all that.
If Lee Cheon-sang was worried about it, it wouldn’t be normal.
Yang Geon said.
“Are you personally in trouble?”
“I don’t have any trouble. However, there are people who will be in trouble because of me.”
Yang Geon tilted his head.
“You mean you don’t want him to get into trouble. “Then it means that it will be difficult for you in the end.”
“Okay… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was answering, paused for a moment.
‘hate?’
The person he thought of was Doheon.
Lee Cheon-sang thought.
‘He shouldn’t be in trouble.’
Of course.
Do-heon said that he received a favor from him, but Lee Cheon-sang did not think so. On the contrary, he himself received great help from Doheon. Didn’t he get this and that information from Doheon just a little while ago?
So to speak, Doheon was his benefactor. Although it is different in meaning and nature from the grace given by his adoptive father, it can be said that he definitely received grace.
‘It shouldn’t happen that the benefactor gets in trouble…’ … I know so.’
but… … .
‘Is that all?’
Yang Geon’s words, spoken as if they were obvious, caused a strange stir in Lee Cheon-sang’s heart.
I don’t want that person to get into trouble. If that is also an emotion, then why is he worrying so much, where does that ‘something’ he dislikes come from?
Is this a feeling? Or is it the result of injected information and reflexive words and actions based on learning?
“what’s the matter?”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was staring blankly into space, turned his gaze towards Yang Geon.
Yang Geon grumbled.
“Why are you worrying so much about putting this in front of people?”
“… … no.”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the two people one at a time and said.
“I thought about it, but there is no other way to explain it. “I guess I’ll just have to tell you two to shut up.”
Yang Geon snorted.
“What do you think of the man Yang Geon? “There is no other person in the world who speaks as loudly as me.”
Juyeongyo, who glanced at Yanggeon who was making a loud statement, spoke calmly.
“We were in the same boat. “There is no reason to ruin the relationship by saying the wrong thing when we are going to give and receive help in the future.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who heard the two people’s different answers, said something that was both burdensome and touching every time he heard it.
“I believe it.”
“… … !”
“The incident started with Punggok Danju. After going to the penal court, he was tortured and revealed all the corruption he had committed… … “Are you listening?”
“uh? Ugh! I’m listening. “Say it, say it.”
“There was a person in my castle who took his money without anyone knowing. It is said that even Punggok Danju did not know of its existence and paid it back every month. He was wise. Punggok Danju, who did not know his status or identity, only knew that there was a high-ranking person watching his back, but did not know how much influence he had.”
“Is this a hassle-free deal?”
“From the superiors’ point of view, it is enough to accuse them of not knowing in case of an emergency, and from the point of view of Punggok Danju, it was good to have someone who could serve as a psychological shield.”
“Punggok Danju was a really stupid guy.”
“Yes. “The problem is that the person who bribed Punggok Danju was a political enemy of the Criminal Beop Party leader.”
“But you don’t know about Punggok Danju, right? “The person who looked after him?”
“There is no truth that will not be revealed to the world. If you investigate the way money comes and goes, its identity is bound to be revealed in the end. Moreover, the organization that specializes in such work is the Criminal Justice Party.”
“So did you find out?”
“They say they figured it out.”
“Are you caught?”
“It’s impossible. They say the position was not easy to capture. Moreover, the Criminal Law Party’s political opponents are not the only ones. “You can hit them with one punch, but it seems you can’t tie them up and get rid of them.”
“Isn’t that strange? So they created a mission that didn’t exist and made us do this? “Do you really need it?”
“You are misunderstanding.”
“what?”
“I took note of the fact that a person in power, such as the head of the criminal code, sent me to Yashasalyeong, not Yashahoryeong. “I think they misunderstand that there is something special about me and that they are trying to raise me to do something.”
Yang Geon and Juyeon Gyo opened their mouths.
“It can’t hit me directly or make a visible attack, so it looks like it’s going to capture me in the suburbs and make some kind of deal with the head of the criminal court.”
“… … !!”
“That is the essence of this mission.”
“This is crazy… … !”
Yang Geon said in astonishment.
“And yet you stay quiet, the head of the criminal law? “Even though I knew everything?”
“I was told that making a move like this in itself shows weakness, so we can’t act rashly. “I heard he wants to give that impression that it doesn’t matter to me whether I capture him or not.”
“But you…” … !”
“Actually, I and the head of the Criminal Justice Department don’t have much of a relationship. The person who acts as a bridge in between is important. “To the Head of Criminal Justice and to me.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes lit up.
“Try not to get caught. “That is what the Head of Criminal Justice wants.”
