That night, when the hest point, Chi-Woo headed toward the promised location As he walked up the castle walls, Chi-Woo sao on top of the wall Her hair sparkled as if the night sky had dissolved onto her head, and her eyes shone a bright red like rubies; she was the witch, Onorables Evelyn Evelyn turned around and upon seeing Chi-Woo, she let out a sigh of relief
“You ca?”
“It’s been exactly 47 minutes and 25 seconds since I arrived here”
“…I aht I’m sorry”
“No, I came early and waited for you And I’m thankful that you’re even here” Evelyn reached her fist out to him, palm down, and asked, “Can you coize to you for what happened last ti on her hed at his name But just in case, Chi-Woo walked warily toward her Evelyn opened her small fist and revealed a seed on top of her peerlessly white palm Outside its deep blood color, it looked like a leftover persimmon seed
“It’s the seed of a spirit,” Evelyn answered in response to Chi-Woo’s curious gaze
Chi-Woo tilted his head and asked, “So, if I plant this seed on the ground, does a baby spirit pop out or so?”
“Of course not You must not know about the spirits of this world at all” Evelyn s it If you’re lucky, youyou really need”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s up to you when, where, and how you plant this seed But you ive it parts of your body as its nutrients”
“Sorry? W-What again?”
“Any part is fine, such as your hair or fingernails I personally recoive it one or two drops whenever you remember it”
Chi-Woo hesitated whether he should accept this seed The instructions she gave reminded him of the steps to prepare for a curse, and it didn’t see to screith him
“It’s fine There’s only one left, and I can’t even grow it any burdened” But Evelyn see reluctant to accept such a precious gift
“…Thank you” In the end, Chi-Woo decided to accept it After all, he didn’t feel dark energy fro it wouldn’t do him harm As soon as Chi-Woo took the seed, Evelyn smiled
“Have we made up now?”
“Um, I think I responded too sensitively last tis like cultural differences”
“No I thought about it, and I would have been disappointed if I was in your position Even though you didn’t laugh or ridicule me when I told you an to like the witch e of heart just because he received a gift
“Hed the topic while putting the seed into his pocket
“Yes Very,” Evelyn answered and straightened her posture It was time for her to hear Chi-Woo’s reply now
“I accept your offer,” Chi-Woo replied coolly “We reached a consensus to go hunt down the groups ofnear the former Salem territories”
“Really?”
“Yes, ill do our best so your e ith the Sernitas”
“How?”
“As soon as we finish our preparations, ill leave the minimum number of people we can at the fortress andcare of the oal is to reach the capital in the end”
“Why the capital?”
“We believe that the o, but it’s information that one of our members had personally confirmed”
“Oh, I see That makes sense” Evelyn see this et to the botto to the capital
“Not bad Yes, not bad at all” Evelyn got up frouys can do on your end I understand I’ll leave this o back?”
“Hh you came all the way here?”
“Why? Do you want to stay with er?” Evelyn said indifferently and turned around
“Still—since you have spent your precious ti all the way here…” Chi-Woo stepped forward and said, “Shouldn’t you at least take so hile for the time spent?”
Evelyn stopped She looked curious, “…What are you trying to say?”
“It’s sio back with a ‘yes’? Or ask for double the terms?”
Evelyn didn’t answer immediately
However, Chi-Woo could clearly see the change in her expression; her face had been growing increasingly impassive for reasons unbeknownst to hi
“Ask and go double…” Evelyn turned to him “Could you explain?” She sounded calued if the way she sat back doas anything to go by
