Inside the underground conference room beneath The Monster HQ, thetheir bodies Knights trained tirelessly to get used to various Mana Tattoo enhance to know more and more about the artificial heart and how it operated

”Wow, so you can enter a complete 'Divine Beast' mode?” (Joo Ji-Hyuk)

”Hht It's only for a short while, but when I'er for a Soo-in with a Divine Beast bloodline like ets all the attention in the world Iover each other to take )

Currently, the ti sessions

When Joo Ji-Hyuk started praising Yu Baek-Song, she crossed her arms and the hot air, filled with excessive pride, bellowed out fro nostrils

Seeing her show off like this, Sae-Jin felt the need to bully her for a bit, so he stealthily sneaked near her gently-swaying tail and then, tightly grabbed it

”Euh-haht!!”

Yu Baek-Song ju towards her back Unfortunately, her short legs weren't going to reach Sae-Jin's arm…

”Un, unhand me!!!”

She screae, yet every time Sae-Jin brushed her tail, her hostility weakened bit by bit Having her tail stroked by a person with a nice scent - that sensation ood as well

”Let, let go…… Euha~”

In the end, she went down for good like a fish flapping helplessly outside the water While carrying an insidious ser than her body, and chomped down on it And well, that roused yet another powerful reaction out of her

”…Noenjoys being tormented a bit too much?” (Yi Hye-Rin)

Just as Yu Baek-Song was about to escape frorasp of an evil entity known as Kily spoke up

”What nonsense are you talking about?” (Yu Baek-Song)

”No, well, it's nothing… By the way, Miss Baek-Song Do you know, by any chance, what is an 'S' and an 'M'?” (Yi Hye-Rin)

”…What the heck are those?” (Yu Baek-Song)

”It's just alphabets… Oh, would you like to choose? Which one do you like more, an S or an M?” (Yi Hye-Rin)

After sensing a so's brows furrowed deeply However, Yi Hye-Rin sied her on to make a choice

”Please hurry” (Yi Hye-Rin)

The interested gazes of the guilddeeply wondered about this, thinking whether she needed to do this for real, before finally opening her lips in a cautious manner

”…An M?”

At the sa tilted her head with a face full of questions Sae-Jin held back his laughter and stood next to her and then, proceeded to lightly tap on her small head as he spoke in a serious voice

”Everyone, please stop Do you find it fun to tease a little kid?” (Sae-Jin)

”…Who are you calling a little kid? You, stop before I bite you to death” (Yu Baek-Song)

”…Cough”

And so, as they were busy chatting and laughing aht that led into the 'isolation barrier' chamber opened up

SFX for slow,footsteps

A deeply-haggard looking Hazeline weakly walked out while her gaze was fixed to the floor

”Miss Hazeline, are you okay?” (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin pushed a preparedof coffee that also contained a potion with an effect of recovering energy to her

”…Imejustonce”

While receiving the un, quickly whispered to him

”Ah, oh Uh, that is…”

Too bad, since Sae-Jin knew her real feelings, he couldn't just brush this aside as a si him like this, Hazeline smiled and spoke first

”I' It's a joke”

Hazeline sipped on theover to the couch where everyone else was sitting down Regular Dark Elves didn't like to hang around other people, but still, she had a good rapport with the members of this teaathered here were all good natured and thoughtful people

”Oh, right What is Knight Kiht now? Hasn't it been already two months?” (Joo Ji-Hyuk)

Joo Ji-Hyuk spoke up Mo spashtly

”She's resting well in soue built up over her entire career just flooded out the gates because of that event not too long ago You see, hts Order at the age of 17, she has never gone on a holiday until now…” (Yi Hye-Rin)

”…Hmm”

With a co of coffee close to his face That word, 'hut', got on his conscious just a tad

”Did you go and visit her?” (Joo Ji-Hyuk)

”Of course I was so shocked when I got there, you know? Was this her going through ot to own a pet until now finally getting to her? Or… was she depressed because the Hero Orc rejected her…?” (Yi Hye-Rin)

Shudder

Sae-Jin's body shuddered iood

”But she was like… she just s back Didn't deny, didn't even acknowledge it… No, you knohat she did? She said that she just wanted to rest for awhile, then prepared a ether” (Yi Hye-Rin)

Sae-Jin felt a slight case of guilty conscience washi+ng over him

'…It can't be… lovesickness, right?' (Sae-Jin)

”Oh, well Let's talk about that so to tell us about your Trait?” (Yi Hye-Rin)

Yi Hye-Rin quickly changed the subject, then

”Uh? Oh, my Trait…”

Sae-Jin hadn't told them, other than Kim Sun-Ho and Hazeline, what his 'Trait' was

But, when the ti his Leviathan For else Just as well, he couldn't reveal them in the first place, anyways His Wolf Forled up in Kim Yu-Rin's mess, so…

”Maybe two months? I'll let you know then” (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin replied so and shtly

”What~? Oh, coh~~” (Yi Hye-Rin)

Sae-Jin ignored Yi Hye-Rin's fake jeering and entered the isolation barrier chamber where Hazeline had been inside just now

”…Wow”

As expected - thanks , not one spot of the chas overturned, things crushed to bits, etc, etc…

”Hmm, hmm”

For now, he sat down in the middle of a crater on the floor

And then, while revealing the claws of the Wolf on one hand, he brought up the Status Window for one of his Skills
