“Wait a minute…”

Does that mean that the association has been secretly continuing to hire murderers?

A chill runs down my spine at the unexpected fact.

“Then, ask that congressman for a letter of recommendation.”

The enemy tells Anna about this fact as if it were nothing.

It seems she already knows the dark side of the Association.

Well, considering that the person who tried to rape Jaehee was a member of the National Assembly, it seems that not all associations are good.

I nodded in agreement and looked at Anna.

But the answer I got back from her was resolute.

“I hate it.”

My hair stood on end at the sharp rejection.

“She’s a creepy woman.”

She picked up the glass of soju, as if her appetite had completely disappeared.

And then I lightly poured alcohol into my mouth as if I was disinfecting it.

Anna is so disgusting.

Is there such a woman in the world?

“But he’s a member of the National Assembly, so how could he be a strange person?”

I held both of her hands together and begged her earnestly.

Then Anna opened her eyes slightly and looked at me.

“A- Help me just this once.”

Anna shook her head, still expressionless.

She speaks to me in a flat voice.

“I don’t feel good.”

It’s a feeling.

This is the first time I’ve heard such an irresponsible reason in the world.

I hiccupped and grabbed the glass.

If you just receive the title of Potion Master, you won’t have any trouble making a living.

but…

There’s no way a congressman who asks for a murder would be normal.

Anna’s words might be right, rather than getting involved in something that would put you in danger.

Anna looks down at me, who has become gloomy.

“What, why are you looking at me?”

I muttered in a somewhat distorted tone.

Then Anna blinks and says.

“Do you have time tomorrow?”

“Why time? There won’t be any.”

Of course, tomorrow is my day off, but I lied because I was upset.

“Is that so.”

She listened to me and quietly sipped her glass.

Damn, I’m starting to wonder for no reason.

“What is it?”

I asked, pretending I couldn’t win.

Then Anna stares at the guests sitting at other tables with an expressionless face.

“I want to learn.”

Her finger points to the laughing and chatting people.

Are you talking about feelings?

I looked into the killer’s dry eyes and thought for a moment.

But it was admirable that he was trying to regain his emotions.

Suddenly, both eyes light up.

If I use this situation well… I might be able to get a letter of recommendation?

“Then, shall we do it like this?”

This would be a very tempting offer to a killer who clearly distinguishes between public and private life.

“You’re making a bet with me.”

I hiccuped and lifted my butt off the chair.

The two killers looked up at me, wondering what the hell I was talking about again.

“If you win, I’ll help you get your feelings back tomorrow!”

“Then. What if you win?”

I chuckled at the killer’s question.

“If I win, let me meet that congressman.”

Anna looks at me with an expression as if to say, “Are you kidding me?”

Of course, it’s expressionless, but it feels that way for some reason.

“Just give me a seat. Just give me the potion and a letter of recommendation so I can leave, right?”

Since you are a member of the National Assembly, why would you hack ordinary people?

I’m not asking for anything big.

Anna let out a short breath.

And then he was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

“What is the betting type?”

Okay.

I got caught.

“Well, it’s obvious that I’m weaker than you. So let’s make it fair.”

I placed the bottle of alcohol in front of her.

And then he makes a suggestion with a smirk.

“Alcohol fight.”

“Fight over alcohol..?”

Anna tilts her head at the bet she’s heard of for the first time in her life.

Yeah, I wanted that kind of pure reaction.

“The first person to drink and fall over loses.”

I say with a confident look.

From what I’ve seen of Anna so far, it’s clear that she can’t drink alcohol.

Since ancient times, the more you drink alcohol, the more you become addicted to it.

There’s no way Anna, who’s barely even tried it, can beat me.

“Okay, let’s try it.”

Anna emptied the glass she was holding.

And then he readily offers me an empty glass.

“The enemy is following. Counting down the drinks one by one.”

I hand the bottle to the enemy.

She looks at me with worried eyes.

“Will it work? Your face is already red.”

“It’s okay- It’s okay. You’ll get sick even if you drink just one glass.”

I laughed heartily and waved my hand.

This kind of alcoholic drinker will definitely finish it in one or two bottles.

“—.”

Soju bottles are placed on the table one by one.

Before I knew it, I had accumulated 5 bottles.

I stared at Anna’s face.

She has the same expressionless face as usual.

What the fuck.

It’s strange…?

What the heck?

It’s clear that the two of them drank five bottles.

If you add up the number of bottles I’ve had so far, it’s a whopping 6 bottles.

But how come it’s so normal?

Don’t women usually have a hard time drinking even just one bottle?

I definitely heard that from my older sister…

Rather, it was I who started to waver.

Unlike when I was a man, my body feels refreshed even after drinking just one bottle.

Just like when I was dragged to Chinatown…

It seems like the remaining weak substances in my body are going crazy with alcohol…

“Drink it.”

Anna pours me drinks like a machine.

“Okay, just a moment…”

“Didn’t they say that if you don’t drink it as soon as you receive it, you lose?”

“That’s how it was…”

Even though he has no emotions, how can his facial expression not change at all!

Did you really drink it?

“Drink it.”

Anna looked down at me coldly and pushed the glass towards me.

The glass she was holding gradually came closer to my lips.

I openly made a fool of myself.

Then Anna starts to force the glass into my mouth.

“Wait a minute…!”

He shouted loudly with a flushed face.

Then, Anna and the enemy who had been watching happily from the side suddenly stopped their actions.

“Let’s just say I lost. I lost!”

I waved my hand and tried to push the glass away.

Then Anna leans her face toward me and speaks in a very serious voice.

“Cancellation is not possible in our world, whether it is a request or a contract.”

“No, you won?!”

I shook my head with reddened eyes.

“Once upon a time, there was a guy who arbitrarily broke a contract even though the mission had already been completed.”

Anna’s face shows no sign of backing down.

Instead, he starts telling an even more eerie story.

“Do you know what I did to that guy?”

I shook my head, lost in thought.

Then Anna whispered softly in my ear.

“The guy was made exactly like the target. Of course, he took the money too.”

Anna pushed my head back with a firm hand.

And then he starts pouring the alcohol slowly into his mouth like pouring holy water.

“So this too must come to an end.”

The alcohol flows from his mouth.

I mutter with a blank expression.

“Save me…”

I feel dizzy.

Little by little, Anna starts to look like three people.

I look at the two killers with my eyes completely open.

The enemy scolds Anna, asking why she is giving the child so much alcohol.

In comparison, Anna still has a blank expression on her face…

“Oh.”

The corners of the mouth of a face that should clearly be expressionless seem to be twitching.

By the time I realized that, my gaze began to tilt downwards.

Soon my ball was stuck to the table with a thud.

“—.”

The two killers sat facing each other, leaving the fallen Siho behind.

The two people look at each other indifferently.

The first one to speak was the enemy.

She asks Anna, sweeping Siho’s crown away.

“You used a lame trick.”

“…”

The enemy snickers and looks down at the table.

There is a trash can under Anna’s seat.

And inside it…

It was overflowing with soju, not trash.

“Have you seen it?”

“How could you not have seen it? When Siho poured the glass, he threw it away right away.”

Anna shamelessly maintains a blank expression.

Indeed, she barely drank five glasses of alcohol.

“So you’re dissatisfied?”

The enemy shook his head.

I can only laugh cynically because fighting her without a dummy is no different from committing suicide anyway.

“으…”

Siho groans and leans against the enemy’s shoulder.

She looks up at the killer with half-closed eyes.

On her hazy face, the red-faced man wanted to keep his expression as blank as possible.

But the killer couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from twitching.

“Sister…”

The bartender gradually buried his face in the enemy’s chest.

And take a deep breath.

“Good scent…”

The enemy coughs in vain at the sight of her being held like a child.

“Well, not bad.”

The enemy nods as if agreeing with Anna’s complaint.

And then she laid Siho down on top of the suit skirt she was wearing.

Siho’s chubby cheeks stick to her sleek stockings.

“So why did you reject the recommendation? If you are a member of the association, shouldn’t you naturally be on the side of justice?”

She asks Anna sarcastically.

Then Anna shook her head indifferently.

“That can’t be. There are dozens of people among the members of the National Assembly who use killers.”

Anna fiddled with the remaining scrambled eggs.

Because I’m not good at using chopsticks, the eggs are scattered all over the place.

Eventually, she picked up the eggs and ate them with her own hands.

“Because I just don’t feel good.”

After finishing the last of her food, she leisurely got up from her seat.

“Are you going?”

The enemy tried to rise up to meet her.

But I couldn’t get up because of the bartender who was lying on my thigh.

“I have something to check.”

“If you go, what about him?”

Anna glances down at Siho at the enemy’s words.

Anna mutters at the sight of the girl sleeping soundly like a child.

“Take care of it and sleep well.”

She lifted the blinds of the food truck after leaving those words behind.

And then he walked leisurely into the darkness.

“Anyway, it’s up to me..”

The enemy shook his head.

She turned on the lighter and lit a cigarette.

A wisp of smoke rises from the food truck.

The pocha aunt frowns at the faint smell of grass.

“What is a grown lady doing inside? Get out and spread it!”

The enemy is startled by her shout.

And then he cleared his throat and stood up for a moment.

“Sister, where are you..”

Siho muttered as he watched the enemy go off to light a cigarette.

The killer snickers at that sight.

“When I was sober, I wouldn’t call you unnie even if I died…”

She looked around the restaurant for a moment.

There were several customers in the restaurant, some of whom were hunters belonging to the association.

“It’ll be okay.”

If there’s a hunter belonging to the association, at least you won’t be suddenly kidnapped.

She walked out to the front of the store without any worries and lit a cigarette.

The killer wandered the streets of Seoul alone at night.

Korea is usually quiet at night because of the monsters and evil hunters that can appear at any time.

However, the area where the association’s offices are located is safe enough to walk around in the middle of the night.

This is the primary function of the association and the biggest reason why it can replace the government.

Perhaps an association would be a more suitable place for Siho than a single person.

Thinking about that, the enemy bit his lips bitterly.

“Should I keep my distance?”

She looked down at her crumpled cigarette.

Perhaps because of the bitter taste, she dropped the half-smoked cigarette on the floor.

And then he slowly lifted the food cart and went back inside.

“…?”

However, a completely unexpected situation unfolded at the pocha.

Because two men I had never seen before were sitting in Siho’s seat, which was left alone.

The two men were talking earnestly to the wandering Siho.

“How old are you?”

“Me? I’m twenty-eight…”

“Huh? On that face?”

“Yes-. Really-.”

Siho looks at the men with strange eyes.

Before I knew it, her eyes were overflowing with feminine charm, unlike when I first saw them.

At that sight, the clowns of men ascend to heaven.

“Do you know I’ve been watching you for a while now?”

“Really-? Why is that… I’m short and not that pretty.”

Siho nodded and muttered.

Then the man smiles and asks.

“Hey- We’re not like that, we’re just looking at faces.”

The man’s eyes scanned Siho up and down.

Then suddenly he stops dead in his tracks at her tight-fitting shirt and blazer.

“I’m not alone…”

Siho covered his mouth with the back of his hand.

The man swallows deeply at her embarrassed expression.

“The four of us can play together.”

The brooch on the man’s lapel dances.

It is the symbol of the association.

The moment I saw that, I thought,

I was stupid to think that the association would be safe even for a moment.

But there was something else she really didn’t like.

Siho is a woman who acts like a vixen even to men.

I think we will need to provide separate training.

The Red-Eyed Killer rolls up his sleeves and strides toward them.
