Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

He murmured a word of relief mixed with surprise. When the word "handsome" came out of his mouth, Zhang Lan stopped moving, a blush appeared on his face, and he quickly shook his head... Although he could control his expression, his accelerating heartbeat kept hitting his brain.

"Sigh... how many times has this happened? Whenever I see that guy showing a positive and upbeat attitude, a strange, inexplicable feeling of liking arises within me. It's completely different from 'approval and approval,' it feels more like... what was it again..."

"Well, I have to admit, the influence of 'Alice' on me is getting bigger and bigger, it's almost like I've been 'assimilated'. My mindset, thinking, and even my sexual orientation have all undergone fundamental changes. I know instinctively that I am a real man of similar age, but now every time I'm in close contact with Wang Kai, my heart inexplicably races, and even now, just thinking about his face makes me..."

"No, no, even though that guy looks like a young heartthrob, he's still that chubby, nerdy guy inside. We haven't seen each other for almost ten years. Where did that spirited, energetic young man from high school go? Who would have thought that the predecessor of that 'chubby nerdy' image was actually evolved from this look."

"But whether he was a boy, a fat otaku, or Kyle, the only thing that remained unchanged was his pure soul, his eternal heart that believed that 'a man is a boy until the end.'"

"Why is my heart still beating so fast? My face is burning up again. This feeling is exactly the same as when he 'pressed down' me on the bed last night. At the same time, that unpleasant thing from after that is back in my mind."

"This hothead, once he got a little bolder, inexplicably started asking for kisses and stuff... To be honest, it's not a big deal, but the excuse he used was to distance himself from the situation, and he even argued that he was using the identity of 'Kyle' to ask 'Alice'. No wonder he's been single for thirty years and doesn't understand women's hearts at all."

"I don't know what happened today, but when I saw him tinkering with something and actually made a 'spring,' I got excited and, in order to quickly find out the 'secret' behind it, I used Alice's clip sound so skillfully, and even casually kissed his thick-skinned face. Although there was a reason for it to happen in a moment of desperation, now that I think about that scene, in the eyes of outsiders, it can be described in four words—'flirting.'"

"My God, in less than two days, the two of them have gone through four or five stages like a rollercoaster ride, from returning to brotherhood to arguing, a failed kiss attempt, to flirting. So far, their relationship is relatively stable, but what about the future? If they're not careful, they could be completely controlled by 'Alice.' To be honest, if they just follow Alice's every word and action, at least they won't experience any psychological or physical conflict and can remain completely calm... But if that's the case, continuing to be brothers with him is probably impossible. Who would have their heart racing and face turning red when facing their 'best buddy'...?"

"Cough cough cough, stop, stop. It seems like both that guy and I are like this. There's something else important. As for that 'divine favor,' it hasn't reached an absolute crisis yet. After all, there's only one chance. If it gets to the point where we absolutely have to use it, how am I supposed to bring it up then? Waaah..."

After lost in thought for a while, Zhang Lan had almost forgotten all the speech she had memorized. Helpless, she could only sit up and, in an attempt to distract herself, let her big eyes wander around the room...

Seeing a row of women's clothes hanging in a wardrobe door that had been left open, she slowly walked over, and the worries of an ordinary girl inexplicably resurfaced.

I had already planned what to wear to the "Lafite II" launch event tomorrow, but Wang Kai's return was so "on time" that I now have the urge to choose a different outfit. After all... I can't say the reason for this yet. Another thing is, is it really true that "girls are only missing one more piece of clothing"?

Actually, he doesn't need to consider other people's opinions at all, but what he cares about most is Wang Kai's opinion. He's been back for so long, and this guy hasn't praised his clothes once. It seems that his "straight man" personality won't change anytime soon.

To be honest, similarly, being a woman often leads to some inexplicable "choice paralysis," especially when it comes to choosing clothes. It's hard to think outside the box, so it's best to consult someone else. Okay…

"Martha, Martha, are you there?"

Zhang Lan walked into the corridor and called out a few times, but no one answered. The next room was quiet. Just as she was about to go look for Martha, a voice appeared behind her like a ghost...

"Your Holiness, what do you require?"

Zhang Lan turned around and saw that it was one of the two maids sent by the Hani Chamber of Commerce to take care of the food, clothing, and lodging in the "Alchemy Pavilion." She couldn't remember her name for the moment, so she scratched her head and asked.

"Oh, it's you. I remember that your job as maids is to only be responsible for the bathhouse and cafeteria on the fourth floor at most. You are strictly forbidden from coming up to the fifth floor or above. Why are you here?"

"Here's the thing, in order to ensure that Your Excellency can attend the 'Lafite II' launch event tomorrow, Lady Hani has requested that I accompany you tonight on this important day and fulfill any of your requests. Do you have any needs?"

"Oh well, I just wanted to find someone to help me come up with an idea... Come in with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid followed Zhang Lan into the bedroom, and before Zhang Lan could turn around, she quietly closed the door with lightning speed...

"Well, regarding tomorrow's press conference, could you... um, excuse me, may I ask your surname, Miss Maid?"

"My real name is not worth knowing, Your Majesty. You only need to call me 'Lin'..."

"Alright, Miss Lin, I remember you were there when we picked Kyle up yesterday... I just wanted to ask for your opinion, what kind of formal attire do you think he would prefer?"

"May I ask, what is the relationship between Her Majesty the Saintess and Lord Kyle?"

Zhang Lan paused for a few seconds, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then gave a resolute look, coughed softly twice, crossed his arms and said confidently.

"This is a private matter, and I didn't want to talk about it, but since I need your help first, I can answer. However, please keep it absolutely confidential, otherwise..."

"No problem, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

“Kyle, he… he is the man… the man who is destined to be with me for the rest of his life.”

As she spoke, the degree of her stuttering became directly proportional to the speed at which her face flushed red.

A fleeting hint of surprise crossed the maid's face, which identified herself as "Lin," but she quickly regained her composure and began to pace lightly around the room, speaking as she walked, as if she were helping someone think things through.

"As a servant, I am somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat expected, that such a high and mighty saintess would utter such a decisive and bold statement..."

"Oh, is my relationship with him that obvious? Even Miss Lin can guess it."

"Of course, I can also guess that you were just ordinary adventurers, right?"

"This...you guessed right. Wait, how does this relate to my request earlier?"

"Of course we kept in touch, so I was completely relieved after that..."
