A short while after, she slowly opened her eyes

‘They’ve been starting to make me feel uncomfortable these days, but is it just in my head?’

The Players in front of her door were associated with Silver Constellation, which was one of the Big 6 She happened to meet them after the battle at Blackfield, but these days, the kindness they were showing her felt uncomfortable

“I definitely told them that I refuse” she muttered Silver Constellation was the very first Guild that sought her out after she returned to the field Obviously, this was because they wanted to scout her, but she had politely refused their offer However, when they asked for her help in the Blackfield can, she couldn’t refuse

‘The conditions weren’t bad, but there’s one big issue’

During the expedition, she discovered that her for as well And she knew that she had made the correct choice After all, if she had refused their proposal, Seo Jun-Ho would have been dead right now

“He’s so high maintenance”

She quickly opened her book “I’ain”

She started her thirteenth binge-read and read without paying attention to the time

“Mm”

After about two hours passed, she started to feel stuffy and stepped out again, wearing her saintess robes

“Where are you going?” one of the Players asked

“I feel stuffy, so I was going to take a walk through the flower garden”

“We will go with you”

“No I need time to think alone, so please don’t follow me,” she said firarden and sat on a bench After co to the estate, she would come here whenever her heart felt too stifled for her to read

‘Of course, it’s not as good as a But these places are nice every once in a while’

As soon as she opened her book, she heard the sound of two people walking over

“Geez I told you not to follow arden She decided to give them a stern lecture this tied “She often coe, I believe it is a scripture or otherwise contains profound teachings She should be somewhere around here”

One of them was the familiar Count Evian, but she was completely astounded when she saw the man ith him

“Oh! There she is” As Count Evian looked at her brightly, she pulled her hood down the fastest she had ever done in her life

“Hoho Have a good conversation”

Count Evian’s face had been gaunt even up to this

However, as evenwith hiain”

It was Seo Jun-Ho

Her former boss approached her with a smile “May I sit next to you?”

“Oh Sure”

“Thank you” Seo Jun-Ho took his seat and studied the strange Saintess, as hiding like a pillbug

‘She covers her face a lot’

Well, she had been wearing sunglasses and a hly showed him that she wouldn’t show her face

‘But what’s she up to?’

The Frost Queen was standing in front of hi an amused expression She asked for popcorn, but Seo Jun-Ho casually ignored her, yet she only laughed in response

‘Now that I think about it’

The Frost Queen had definitely said that the Schumern Saintess was someone that he knew Last time, when he asked her if the Schumern Saintess was Skaya, the Frost Queen had scolded him harshly

“I I’ized At that, the Saintess looked at hiht However, it seemed that she still didn’t want to look at hi the complete opposite direction

“Ahem How could you run ae’re acquainted?”

“I couldn’t help it at the time I wouldn’t have been able to spend a few ain, you say you couldn’t help it”

“Huh?”

“It’s nothing Anyway, did you coize to me?” She asked

“No I cahter”

“Excuse me?” She turned to him in surprise but she turned away three ti skill, though”

“How are you so sure of that?” Seo Jun-Ho asked with brows raised

“W-well Just by looking at you, I can clearly tell that you’re co-oriented type”

“Well, things happened” With that, the conversation between them ended

‘I wanted to ask her a lot of questions e met But I don’t think I should’

It wasn’t like he could just blurt out, “do you know ht Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes

“” The Saintess was silent for a nation and sat up “Yes, I like it Very much so”

“Wow, what a coincidence I actually bought this for an acquaintance of ift,” he said

“What kind of person were they?” She almost sounded concerned

Seo Jun-Ho didn’t hesitate to answer

“My former secretary Oh, now that I think about it, I heard that she quit—”

His face turned serious as he seerinned “She must have earned a lot of money She’s actually a little clumsy, so I worry about her”

“My book Hand it over” She snatched the book from him, leered, and then left, just like that

“What’s with her how rude,” he remarked

“H on rudeness? How ridiculous,” the Frost Queen said, crossing her arms She had watched all of that unfold in real-time “You were much ruder than she was Believe my words”

“What did I even do?” Seo Jun-Ho rieved
