… … … … …

“Well, then… …let’s move on to the next question.

Well, now is the time to really show mercy. That woman… … must be wiped from this world.

So that the seeds of autumn will never again fall into vain temptations.”

Among the seven women sitting in the conference room, Seo Yu-ryeong’s voice rang out quietly.

In fact, he is a loner who doesn’t form interpersonal relationships, and because of that, he has never been able to properly participate in gatherings, so his tone was cold and uncharacteristic of Seo Yu-ryeong.

“… … … .”

It was something that everyone had in mind, but no one had ever said it first.

It’s not that they’re afraid of taking the life of a single, ordinary woman. The murder itself wasn’t a big deal to them.

Among the members of this fellowship group, there isn’t a single one who hasn’t had blood on their hands.

However, even for those who valued human life as much as a fly’s life, there was one fatal reason why they were reluctant to ‘dispose of’ it in midsummer.

“Why is everyone quiet?

As long as that woman lives, Mr. Ga-eul will continue to search for her. Like today… …even betraying us. ”

“That’s right. Rather than continuing to chase after the brat and bother her, it would be easier to just get rid of that bitch forever.”

Kim Taeyang nodded at Seo Yu-ryeong’s claim. Her golden eyes flashed with murderous intent.

“But… ….”

This time, Yoon Ha-neul opened her mouth.

“Then… …who will do it?”

The ensuing questions left everyone silent. No one was willing to speak up.

Yes, whoever deals with midsummer will have to bear the guilt forever.

It does not speak of the sin of murder itself.

The moment you kill Midsummer, the fatal problem is that everyone in this place will know about it.

If the boy they had such deep affection for that was hard to explain in words ever found out the truth.

A woman who has disposed of midsummer may incur the boy’s hatred.

It is also difficult to erase memories with Lee Seo-yeon’s supernatural powers.

If the killer is Lee Seo-yeon, the other members of the club will do everything they can to prevent her from erasing the boy’s memories.

If the killer isn’t Lee Seo-yeon… …Why would Lee Seo-yeon erase the boy’s memories? It’s a golden opportunity to eliminate one of her competitors.

No matter how much the one who killed Midsummer tried to destroy the evidence or prepare a well-crafted lie to deceive the boy, it would be of no use.

The other six women will collect evidence and expose it to the boy to eliminate their rival.

“Someone among us… … will have to shoulder that burden.”

Everyone groaned at Park Seo-ah’s words. No one wanted to take on such a suicide mission.

“… … There’s no need to worry so much, right?”

The one who broke the silence that had been flowing for a long time was Jin Wol-hee.

“Seo Yu-ryeong can do it. She’s always hiding like a shadow anyway, right? While living up to her name.

I don’t think it would make much of a difference if the boy hated me… … .”

“The reason I’m invisible is because I’m not a monster that eats people like Wol-hee, right?”

Seo Yu-ryeong accepted Jin Wol-hee’s sarcasm with a cold smile.

“Isn’t one person just an after-meal dessert? Isn’t this normal for Wol-hee, who eats people every day?”

While Jin Wol-hee and Seo Yu-ryeong were glaring at each other as if they were going to kill each other with just a glance, Yoon Ha-neul intervened.

“Then what about Mr. Taeyang, the dragon species? In the original world and on Earth, humans were considered to be an inferior, short-lived species, right?

Just one human… … Oh, I’m sorry. You must be busy pretending to be nice in front of the ‘little one’ right now. ”

“That’s not even funny. Wouldn’t it be better for you, as a ‘mother’, to get rid of the bitch who tried to steal your ‘son’?”

“What about Seo-yeon? Didn’t this happen because you were messing with Ga-eul’s mind? You should take responsibility.”

“Isn’t Ms. Seo-ah, who speaks like that, the right person for the job?

He loves hitting people so much that he beat Ga-eul until she was in that state.

Beating one more person to death would be a piece of cake, right? ”

As sharp words were exchanged, the tension at the table grew. The conference room was filled with venomous remarks that dug into each person’s weaknesses.

No one could back down. The moment they took even one step back and showed weakness, they would be cornered by other hyena-like women and sent on a suicide mission.

… … … … …

“Ha, right. You want to play with this body, right?”

As Kim Tae-yang created a magical bullet that glowed in five colors in the air, the temperature in the conference room rose rapidly.

Of course, there was not a single woman who quietly watched Kim Tae-yang’s misdeeds. Jin Wol-hee began to deform her body in a grotesque way, making her bones crack, and Lee Seo-yeon took out special gloves from her inner pocket and put them on.

The first attack was initiated by Seo Yu-ryeong. She had disappeared like a shadow, but suddenly appeared behind Kim Tae-yang and kicked him.

“Tsk!”

While Kim Tae-yang staggered from the unexpected attack, Jin Wol-hee rushed to Lee Seo-yeon. In an instant, the conference room became a scene of chaos.

“I’ll wash you away, cannibal. Your sins.”

A green liquid poured out like a waterfall from Park Ah-young’s staff. Jin Wol-hee avoided the spot and climbed up onto a desk far away.

“Stop this nonsense and speak calmly. Everyone――”

Before Park Seo-ah could finish speaking, Lee Seo-yeon appeared and aimed for the back of her head. However, Park Seo-ah turned around as if she had expected it and grabbed his wrist.

“Ugh!”

“Not yet… … !”

“You fucking bitch!”

Sharp words were exchanged between the bodies that collided.

At first glance, it looked like a heated argument, but it wasn’t, and anyone with even a little bit of discernment could tell that they were all fighting cautiously.

The reason is that they knew very well that if even one person was seriously injured, the rest would use it as an opportunity to eliminate him.

All the members of the fellowship group were in a state of fighting against each other, but on the contrary, everyone was trying to use each other as a shield.

In the end, their fight was not a true clash, but rather a contest of strength to gain the upper hand. No one wanted to be the first to be fatally wounded.

At that time, the conference room was in chaos and the fight continued with no end in sight.

“Hey, guys… … ?”

A trembling voice rang through the conference room. Everyone froze in place.

A boy was standing at the door of the conference room.

He, who should have been in a deep sleep after being administered sleeping pills, was standing with difficulty on trembling legs, looking at them with astonishment.

Jin Wol-hee’s body was in a monstrous state with bones and flesh grotesquely twisted, Kim Tae-yang’s skin had golden scales growing out, and behind Park Ah-young’s back, the bat wings characteristic of succubi were spread out.

They ended up revealing their true selves, which they had tried so hard to hide, to the boy.

The boy’s gaze slowly scanned each of them. The translucent body of Seo Yu-ryeong, Yoon Ha-neul with her unique bear fur sprouting all over her body, and Lee Seo-yeon’s gloves emitting a blue light.

“Cow, boy… … .”

“Little guy, this is… … .”

“Autumn Seeds… ….”

“Brother… … .”

Despair was in everyone’s voice. The moment they had been most afraid of had arrived.

“Uh… …Uh… …Why are you fighting… …?”

The tension in the conference room momentarily stopped. Instead of the screams and running footsteps they had expected, they heard voices filled with concern.

The boy’s eyes were filled with concern for them, mixed with confusion, rather than fear or disgust.

Just the eyes that thought of them as they always did. At that moment, all the women in the place felt a deep sense of relief.

“Ah, still us… … .”

Seo Yu-ryeong’s transparent body materialized. Her voice was filled with relief and joy. It was the same for the other women.

But that was only for a moment.

The warm feeling that surrounded them did not last long.

As soon as they let go, even stranger feelings began to take over them.

As if poison was spreading, an anger that even they themselves found difficult to understand began to eat away at their reason.

‘I showed my son an ugly side… … .’

‘This is what happens to a boy… … .’

‘Because of those bitches… …!’

Rationally, they should have been glad that the boy had accepted them, but inside them, an uncontrollable anger was boiling.

What’s worse, the relief that the boy would accept whatever he did here removed the limits of his anger.

Eventually, they resumed their fierce fight. Their anger at each other for having been caught in the act exploded against each other.

Although they were exercising the bare minimum of self-restraint to avoid getting the boy involved, little by little their fight became less of a contest to gain the upper hand and more of a true murderous fight to the death.
