“What is an executive of the Abyss faction like you doing here?”
The mysterious man asked, and Evelyn didn’t answer She was too flustered to talk It was too h she was ambushed suddenly, it was still hard for her to accept her defeat Even the two monarchs who ruled over Abyss couldn’t have cornered her to this degree In other words, this mysterious man was superior to the Abyss’s twoto answer?” Unknowable energy forcefully lifted Evelyn off the ground
“Kugh!” The shapeless htly andher toto kill her like this if she didn’t answer Evelyn opened and closed her htly
“The De…” she muttered in bits and pieces “Met…needed to talk…”
The hts for a bit, he nodded
“Yes, I ondering about that”
“…”
“Hoas the Abyss able to restrain the Demon Empire? From what I know, your hands should’ve been too full to deal with the Sernitas”
“…Kugh!”
“Well, thanks to that, I was able toher neck disappeared, while the h!” Evelyn coughed hard while hovering in the air and glared at thefit, she explained, “All…I did was make a deal… Since a hero on your side blocked the Sernitas’ attack, we had more ease…”
“A deal, you said?” The man rubbed his chin “Someone on our side blocked a Sernitas’ attack? Do you really expect me to believe that?”
“I understand why you can’t believe me I couldn’t believe it either when I heard that a Demon Empire’s army was annihilated by one person,” Evelyn replied while still glaring at thehow the man had popped up suddenly without her the wiser, she was inclined to think that he was the center of those rumors Nevertheless, the man’s response held not a hint of emotion
“Hm A collaboration with the Abyss… I suppose the situation requires one to even go to bed with the enemy…”
“I have never slept with the hero” Evelyn flared up at what theBut the man shook his head
“Never mind that”
“Never mind that? I told you I didn’t sleep with hi Anyways, did you come here to meet that hero?”
“…Yeah”
“Why?”
“I had so to tell hi her to keep talking Evelyn wanted to tell him ‘it’s none of your business’ very much, but she sed the retort After all, her ars were still coo, the De this, the man opened one of his eyesthe 66 demons came, which should tell you how serious they considered the situation to be I believe the purpose of thewas to discuss what the hero and I had done in collaboration,” Evelyn continued, “Especially since the Demon Empire thinks that this place is under our authority… Anyways, their movements are suspicious Since this is the De about, no one knohat kind of unbelievable things they’re up to So—”
“You came to warn him to be careful” The man finished her sentence and added, “How kind of you”
Evelyn kneas being sarcastic
“Some kind of loyalty you have after just one deal”
“…”
“Is there any reason why such a high-standing o so far? Or did you perhaps really—”
“I said I didn’t sleep with him!” Evelyn shouted As someone who didn’t like her nickname as Babyly’s Great Whore, it was understandable she would be so angry “Get this straight I don’t intend to maintain a friendly relationshi+p with all heroes, but him alone! Are you unable to think in any other way?”
“…Is that what you should be saying?” The ed the topic and uys, definitely…”
He looked over at the capital and clicked his tongue “Just in case, I should check it out What terrible ti I’ve only just returned…” With a flick of his wrist, the round “Thanks for the inforot up and raised an eyebrow “You’re letting me live?”
“Probably Ah, let me make a request of you” Themuch Find someone named Noel Freya inside the city and pass on a couple of words for me You can leave after that”
“…What?” Evelyn couldn’t believe her ears as she dusted her dress “What did you say? Are you…using me as an errand runner?” Evelyn had never received such treat her time alive and, of course, after her death
“Aren’t you also here to meet someone? Can’t you do it on your way?”
“On my way? Do you think I will do as I’ you to do it for free”
“What? Are you going to give ?”
“Of course I’ will cost a lot, so I’ you to do it…” the man said laxly, “For the price of your head” In other words, the e for hiain
“So, are you not going to do it?”
“…” Evelyn didn’t answer Nonetheless, the man—Choi Chi-Hyun—understood her silence to be an expression of agreement and relayed the words she needed to pass on before uncere his leave
Once she was left on her own, Evelyn appeared to be lost in time She had just met a man that left her utterly speechless No need to mention his talents, but he didn’t seeh she had placed special attention to her appearance, presenting her at her prier sense theall along, “What a jerk!”
When Chi-Woo opened his eyes, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu He was in the sa a water bottle toward hiood sleep It was exactly what had happened after he woke up froht with a God
“Don’t askfrom now on” After Chi-Woo finished his water, Eshnunna blurted out as if she had been waiting to tell him this “I don’t want to be a , Eshnunna narrowed her eyes and turned around, her coldness made clear how furious she was With a loud thud, she slammed the water bottle back onto the table hard Then she looked over her shoulder at Chi-Woo and said, “Also, you have a guest waiting to see you”
Eshnunna jerked her chin at the other side of the roo at, and he was stunned to see another Eshnunna
“There are two Eshnunnas?”
“What are you talking about?” Eshnunna asked and turned around She was also surprised by what she saw After seeing the response of the Eshnunna on the left, Chi-Woo turned his attention to the Eshnunna on the right He blinked hard as she changed and morphed into Evelyn, who had her arms wide open
“Surprise~”
“…Lady Evelyn?”
“Yes hello”
“Uh…” Chi-Woo placed his hand on his forehead Having just woken up, he couldn’t figure out as going on He tilted his head to the side to think things over—
“…” But then he saw Philip all tied up and hanging fro to say Chi-Woo threw Philip a questioning look, who responded in the sah of an answer for him
Philip was a dead man—a spirit—and in a way, Evelyn was the same In short, she could also see spirits Chi-Woo didn’t knohat exactly happened, but it was obvious that Philipa little too ‘friendly’ after seeing Evelyn’s beauty
—No, That’s not it
Philip protested like the whole situation was unfair
—I si since ere both dead
“…” Chi-Woo shook his head In his book, Philip deserved the treatot Then Chi-Woo shi+fted his attention back to Evelyn It wasn’t that much of an issue for Evelyn to come to the capital since she took the form of a human, and outside of Eshnunna, very fe her true form
“What did you come here for?”
“I just dropped by on my way back toto tell you…”
She trailed off suddenly, and Chi-Woo asked while tilting his head, “What is it?”
