Piik! Piiik!
Fox wept sadly with its claws stuck in my clothes. Fearing that the dangling Fox might get hurt, I spoke as if to soothe him, unable to move recklessly.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Piik! Piik!
Why was he like this today? Originally, wherever I went, he quietly waited for . My heart weakened when I saw him whining with tears still hanging.
I can’t help it. I took Fox in my arms and sighed.
“You must never remove the invisibility outside. Understand?”
Piik!
Fox, who quickly hugged , wiggled his tail.
Well, I had been so busy these past few days that I had often left Fox in my room. He must be very lonely by himself.
Today, Kim Woo-jin, Min Ah-rin, and Kwon Jeong-han were all absent. It was a rare day when the room was free because the call ca from each team. That’s why Fox seed to be begging to be taken away.
I left the room with the invisibility Fox on my shoulder. When I went out in front of the guild building, I imdiately saw Ha Tae-heon’s car waiting for .
“Hello, Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”
Ha Tae-heon gave a short nod of his head as I climbed into the passenger seat and a paper bag was put on my laps.
“What is this?”
A savory sll crossed my tip of nose. When I opened the bag, there was freshly made hot toast. Co to think of it, it was lunchti.
“Thank you. I can eat it alone?”
“I ate before leaving.”
I hadn’t eaten a single al yet because Kim Woo-jin wasn’t there. As I happily picked a toast, Fox sitting on my shoulder released the invisibility.
Piik!
Fox, slling the toast, stretched out his paws with his eyes shining brightly. You could see, he wanted the toast, so I passed one toast to him. There were three pieces of toast in the paper bag.
While sharing toast with Fox, the car quickly moved to the address where the people who illegally approached the gate lived.
It was difficult to go directly to the H37 Area gate, which was targeted, because it was near the East Sea, but it was worth going to because people who did illegal things like that lived outside of Seoul.
“They’re not the ones who were released to the press, right?”
“Yeah.”
Ordinary people might have done sothing illegal like this. Only those of us who deliberately searched for information knew this.
‘Well, the guild managent headquarters knew about it but pretended not to know.’
Fox, having eaten his fill of toast, curled up and lay down on my laps with a satisfied expression. I also put away the toast bag and picked up the docunt instead.
The Cent Guild, which owned the H37 Area gate, hid the incident as soon as they noticed that there were people who had accessed the gate in an illegal way.
It was because they had been warned several tis due to gate managent problems and if they got caught again, they could completely lose the gate managent ownership.
However, the H37 Area gate was poorly located and was a small gate with no particular advantage. There was no guild that offered to take charge of such a gate. Taking ownership from Cent would only complicate matters.
I wondered if it was appropriate for the guild managent headquarters not dig deep into this case. This part was also written correctly in the docunt.
Even if there was a group of people who illegally accessed the gate, the managent headquarters must have quietly covered it up since there was no accident to take issue with.
There was no one but us to solve the case. I caught the tail of the Praus Cult based on the information Alice gave , so it would be nice if I could get solid evidence this ti.
Entering an industrial complex on the outskirts of Seoul, Ha Tae-heon stopped his car in front of a grey container building. Perhaps because it was cloudy, the building and its surroundings were exceptionally dark.
“Is it here?”
“If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll go there.”
“How is it?”
“I can feel about five.”
At those words, I also focused and looked inside the building. The number of crew mbers listed in the docunt was five in total, one C-rank and four B-rank, respectively. Like Ha Tae-heon, I also felt the energy of the five people.
All five of them weren’t dangerous because they were of low rank, but if they were related to the Praus Cult, it was highly likely that they possessed a moving item. We couldn’t miss the clue we barely caught, so it was better to approach them carefully.
“Fox.”
Piik!
As I got out of the car, the transparent Fox cried loudly at my call.
“Could you check it out? Find out if they have the item.”
Hearing my request, Fox flew straight into the building.
Fox, which could penetrate walls through transparency and could fly, would easily check the situation inside the building. He was sensitive to energy, so he would notice the weak energy of the item.
I waited for Fox to return in the car with Ha Tae-heon. Dark clouds filled the sky as if it was going to rain any minute, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.
It was complicated in my head how to respond if they had a moving item. I thought about various ways to deal with it, but Ha Tae-heon took sothing out of the pocket of his suit jacket and held it out.
“Eat.”
“Pardon?”
I was wondering what it was and it was a lollipop. The peach shape drawn on the wrapping paper caught my eye.
Why was it peach flavoured candy? A nightmare-like mory from the Requiem representative office popped up.
‘No, wait a second… could this be it?’
Recalling Cheon Sa-yeon’s face kissing and smiling, I felt sothing strange and opened my mouth.
“Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”
“Say it.”
“Perhaps… did you contact Cheon Sa-yeon separately?”
“I did.”
Ha Tae-heon tilted his head slightly and asked.
“I heard you like peach-flavoured candy. Is not it?”
“……”
Cheon Sa-yeon, this crazy guy…
My fists trembled as I rembered Cheon Sa-yeon’s image who had excitedly shouted to Ha Tae-heon that I liked peach-flavoured candy. After swallowing the swear words, I forced a smile and said.
“Sure, I like that peach-flavoured candy.”
Ha Tae-heon, who heard the answer, nodded his head with a proud expression.
“There’s one more, so tell when you finish it.”
“Yeees…”
When I peeled off the wrapper with a light pink peach on it and put the candy in my mouth, a taste similar to the candy I ate at the representative office spread in my mouth. I’m going to have trauma with the peach flavour.
When I thought what I did with Cheon Sa-yeon while eating the candy Ha Tae-heon gave … my conscience… hurt imnsely. It was Cheon Sa-yeon who did sothing useless, but I couldn’t understand why my conscience had to hurt.
I chewed hard on the candy aggressively, with the mindset that I would rather eat it to get rid of it. When I chewed the hard candy as if it was natural, Ha Tae-heon took out a new candy from his arms as if he had been waiting for it.
‘Why do I keep getting sothing to eat?’
Did he co with a determination to feed all the things he hadn’t fed before eting today?
My conscience was already painful to refuse, so I should at least match Ha Tae-heon’s mood. That was when I reached out for a new piece of candy.
As soon as I grabbed the candy, a soft touch touched my cheek with a cup sound.
“……?”
When I was surprised by the sudden skinship and stiffened, Ha Tae-heon started kissing my face here and there while holding my hand holding the candy.
“No, what the, wait…!”
Having been showered with kisses with my hand held together with candy, I tried to turn my head to avoid it, but it didn’t an much.
‘Was the candy a bait!’
I was so confused because I never imagined that Ha Tae-heon would seduce like this.
The strange sound and touch in my ears gave goosebumps. Kung, I couldn’t stand it and as I struggled, my knees bumped sowhere.
Ha Tae-heon, who had been kissing regardless of the car’s rattling, bit my lower lip weakly for the last ti. It was then that I shrank my shoulders at the sharp pain spreading from my lips.
Piiik! Piik!
Fox’s cry filled with annoyance rang out. Fox, who flew like an arrow, entered the car and ramd his head into Ha Tae-heon’s chest.
“Tsk…”
Ha Tae-heon, who saw Fox hanging with his teeth in his hand, clicked his tongue and straightened his upper body, which had been leaning toward . Fox, who held his fur up and bit Ha Tae-heon’s hand as hard as he could, rushed into my arms.
Pick! Piiik! Piik!
Fox, who was hugging and throwing a tantrum as he was at Ha Tae-heon, looked quite shock.
Co to think of it, I thought sothing similar happened before. It was with Cheon Sa-yeon back then.
“I didn’t expected to be disturbed like this.”
Ha Tae-heon, whose skinship was cut off due to Fox’s intrusion, looked genuinely disappointed.
“I’m glad it was interrupted… I was shocked and thought my heart was going to drop.”
“Isn’t it about ti you got used to it? It’s not once or twice.”
“……”
There was nothing to be said for being so shaless.
Anyway, it didn’t matter now. I asked, petting the anger Fox with his fur standing up.
“Did you have a good look inside? There are five, right?”
Pik!
Even in the middle of being angry, Fox answered steadily.
“What about the item?”
Piik.
This ti he shook his head.
He was saying there were all five people listed in the docunt, but there were no items? It was a very good situation for us.
“Since there are no items, I think we can go in without worry.”
“Let’s start right away.”
I got out of the car with Ha Tae-heon and stood in front of the building entrance. The iron door of the large container was surrounded by several layers of chains. Ha Tae-heon tore off the thick chain at once with his bare hands like tearing paper.
“I will assist.”
One C-rank and four B-rank were enough for Ha Tae-heon alone. Rather, if I did, it would only get in the way, so it was better to support with the wind from a proper distance.
Ha Tae-heon kicked the iron door with his foot with a grumpy expression.
Kwaang! With a roar that made the ground shake, the iron door that had been kicked by the foot collapsed and fell out.
