The tiger’s den was full of shelters.
The closest one was just a three-minute walk away.
“Please open the door!!!”
But not a single shelter would open its door. So people inside were crying and begging us to go sowhere else.
So even cursed at us like madn when they saw and the woman.
“Get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”
“Wow, they’re swearing like they’re rapping. Really, no compassion at all. Are they saying it’s okay if we get eaten by a tiger...?”
I don’t exactly know what this tiger is.
Probably so kind of monstrous phenonon or evil spirit.
One thing’s for sure, it’s sothing so strong that even Cheonji can’t defeat it.
I have no desire to fight sothing like that either.
We need to find a shelter or escape quickly, one or the other.
“Uh, maybe, it’s because of, ,”
Rejected and cursed at by every shelter, the woman behind had crouched down and was trying to crawl into an abandoned box.
“What are you doing? We don’t have ti for this.”
“The, the box is comfortable. For .”
Does she think she’s a cat or sothing?
Staying here won’t stop the tiger from finding her.
Feeling frustrated, I grabbed her hand and led her to look for another escape.
Seeing her sullen expression, I decided to ddle a bit.
“Don’t worry about what people say. It’s a tough world, and people get sharp because of it.”
“...Huh.”
The woman looked at with surprised eyes.
So, I decided to ddle a bit more.
“You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s the world that’s wrong.”
“I haven’t done anything wrong? Really?”
“Yes, so stand tall and smile brightly.”
“Stand, tall and, smile brightly?”
She awkwardly straightened her back and gave a sheepish grin.
How should I put it? It was really awkward.
But she was naturally pretty, so I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Ahem, her cheeks are turning red.
I might seem too eager like this.
But I had to say it.
“You, you’re really beautiful.”
“Be, beautiful. . Really?”
“Yes, one of the prettiest won I’ve ever seen.”
Hearing that, the woman smiled shyly again.
“Hehe, hehe.”
She laughed like that and then suddenly, a tear fell from her eye.
“Oh, sob… sob.”
“No, I’m sorry. I didn’t an to make you feel bad.”
“No, no. It’s because I’m such an idiot. You didn’t do anything wrong. You, you, fool! Dummy!”
Suddenly, the woman started hitting her own head.
Yep, this woman was clearly not in her right mind.
Her madness felt different from Nayu’s.
At that mont, my phone started ringing again.

[Web Alert][Safety Notice]
[Seoul tropolitan Governnt]
The tiger is still roaming around.
Citizens, please evacuate to shelters imdiately.
===
Ugh, this is driving crazy.
How are we supposed to evacuate when the shelters won’t open their doors?
The tiger’s den is the slum area.
That ans the streets are like a maze due to haphazard developnt.
Even with a map on my phone, it’s easy to get lost in this labyrinth.
Play hide-and-seek with a tiger in this maze?
I really have no idea where to run.
“This is nuts. It’s my first ti coming this deep into the tiger’s den.”
Just then, the woman behind muttered.
“Um, excuse .”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to co to my house? I an, I’m not forcing you. But since the shelters are all locked…”
“Is your house nearby?”
The woman nodded vigorously.
Looks like we don’t have much choice.
“Alright, I’ll take you up on that offer.”
“Grr. Great. Co, follow .”
As soon as I finished speaking, she grabbed my hand and led deep into the alley.
This woman, she’s surprisingly strong.
Where is she taking ?
Is there really a house deep inside the tiger’s den?
And so, I followed her further into the tiger’s den.
****
I never expected to find a place like this deep in the tiger’s den.
A mansion that cleverly combined above-ground and underground.
The mansion she led to was luxuriously decorated, like a grand cave.
As she entered, a group of people respectfully bowed their heads.
“Welco back, miss.”
“Mmm. This is my friend.”
“Welco, friend.”
I greeted them with a slight nod.
But these people, their eyes seed unfocused.
Almost as if they were spacing out.
Well, I get it.
Sotis you space out while working.
As soon as she entered the house, the woman threw her shirt far away.
“Grr, clothing soaked in sound helps conceal abilities? Nonsense, nonsense...”
“Wait, hold on.”
The woman was now wearing only her underwear.
Which ant I was suddenly staring at a stranger’s bra.
What size is that? Definitely over a D cup, right? A black lace bra. That’s way too sexy.
Her white skin and ample chest caught my eye.
I quickly turned my head away.
“Why are you acting like that?”
However, the woman looked at with a genuinely puzzled expression, as if she had no idea why I turned my head.
She approached , still looking completely clueless.
“That’s strange. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Do you suddenly see as a monster...?”
“No, but why are you showing your underwear when we barely know each other?”
“Underwear...? Oh, my underwear.”
She tilted her head slightly.
And sothing swayed with the movent.
Sway, sway—
Should I just be honest about my desires???
No, control yourself, Yoo Hajin!!!
You don’t even know who this woman is, and you’re going to stare at her chest?
That would be sexual harassnt!!!
As I turned my head further away, the woman suddenly muttered in an excited voice.
“Could it be... that?”
She smiled sheepishly and said,
“Are you turning away because of my chest?”
“Well, what else would it be? Put sothing on, quickly.”
“But what do you think of my chest?”
This pervert, why is she asking that out of the blue? I shouldn’t have co here.
She really is crazier than I imagined.
But seeing her desperate expression, I couldn’t help but answer.
“Um, it’s totally my type, and it’s exciting, and why am I saying this? I really, really like it!!!”
“Hehe, hehe.”
She laughed like an idiot and then said,
“I shouldn’t make things harder for you. Hehe, I’ll put on so clothes.”
“Of course, you should.”
She better not sue for sexual harassnt later.
I’m scared. Terrified.
But as she dressed, she was subtly conscious of my gaze.
“May I know your na?”
“My na?”
Why? Why does she want to know my na? To sue ?
But I have plenty to say for myself.
If she wants to sue, let her sue.
“It’s Yoo Hajin.”
“Yoo Hajin...?”
She looked thoughtful for a mont, then nodded.
“My na is Baek Yoorin.”
“Baek Yoorin.”
Baek Yoorin. Is that “Yoorin” as in “urininate”? I shook my head at the silly thought.
“It’s been so long since there’s been anyone in this house.”
Baek Yoorin looked around nervously.
Then she glanced at and spoke.
“Are you hungry? I don’t have much food since no one really eats here, but, should I make you so ran or sothing? No, I don’t even have ran.”
“No, you don’t have to. Just letting stay here is a huge help.”
Baek Yoorin continued to fidget nervously.
Then, she suddenly grabbed my hand and said,
“Th-then, how about we play a ga or sothing before you go?”
“A ga?!”
Surely she didn’t an that kind of ga, right?
Thankfully, her next words clarified things.
“I used to look down on people who played gas, calling them hikikomori, but now that I’ve beco one myself, uh, there’s nothing as fun as gas. It feels like I have a lot of friends in the online world. Hehe.”
“Oh, I see.”
A true gar, huh.
She’d get along well with Jamsuni.
But I could play gas at ho, too.
There’s no need to play gas in a weird place like this.
Just then, my phone rang again.
I glanced at it and saw it was another safety alert ssage.

[Web Alert][Safety Notice]
[Seoul tropolitan Governnt]
The tiger ergency has ended.
Citizens, please return to your daily activities.

“It’s finally over.”
I put my phone back in my pocket and said,
“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take a rain check on the ga. The tiger ergency is over, so I should head back ho. If I’m late again today, the little one at ho won’t let off easily.”
I didn’t realize so much ti had passed already.
Lately, Jamsuni gets all fussy if I’m late, so I better head ho quickly.
“What? Uh, okay?”
“Then, I’ll be going now.”
“W-wait. I’m not ready yet.”
At that mont,
sothing with considerable strength grabbed my wrist.
“Don’t go... please...”
Baek Yoorin was clutching my wrist, her expression desperate.
‘What kind of strength is this…’
