The woman I met for the first time heard me shout and hit her butt in surprise.
Then he quickly ran away with the bundle.
“Thief..?”
At first I thought it was a thief, but what kind of thief would come to the underground hideout to steal?
In the first place, the association does not know that there is a hideout in the basement.
He doesn’t seem to be an ordinary thief.
Could it be that the location of the hideout was discovered?
I went back to the hideout to inform Eunbyeol of this fact.
**********
I returned to the hideout, but when I thought about it, I thought Eunbyeol was already asleep.
In that case, I have no choice but to go to Seo-yoon.
I had to tell them as soon as possible that there was a thief in the hideout.
As I was opening the door to Seoyoon’s room, I stopped when I saw the no trespassing sign in front of the door.
I knocked on the room door without opening the door.
– Knock. Knock. Knock.
“It’s me, Han Si-woo. Can I come in for a moment?”
– I’m sorry…
The old hinges on the door screamed.
“Come in.”
Seoyun opened the door and stepped aside for a moment to allow me to enter the room.
I went into the room.
– Squeak.. Tung.
“So, what are you doing this late at night…?”
Seoyoon closed the door and asked me, trailing off her words.
“That’s it… It seems like a thief has broken into this hideout, so I came to tell you that.”
“M, what…? Thief…?”
Her eyes began to move back and forth when she heard that there was a thief.
“What do you mean…?”
“No, I was curious about where this place was, and I came here to get some fresh air, but on the way back, a woman crawled out from there with a bundle tied to her back, saying there was a manhole cover over here.”
“Uh… a bundle?”
“Yes, a bundle. That woman, when I came, she fell and I heard something break…”
“….. No way… ㄱ, he might not be a thief…”
“Do you know this kid?”
“Ugh… If I were to explain it, it would be long…”
**********
To summarize what Seoyoon said, it is as follows.
Her name is Choi Ye-rim.
She is a non-combatant member of the Golden Rule.
She was so scared that I think she ran away as soon as I approached her to avoid revealing the location of her hideout.
I’m not sure if he ran away because he was scared or because he didn’t want his hideout to be discovered.
And what she does is a drug expert.
He seems to be an alchemist who mainly creates potions and various other potions.
So, the sound of something breaking when I fell earlier was the sound of the medicine bottle in the bag breaking.
She lives as an ordinary alchemist in society.
Of course, behind the scenes, he lives as a member of the Golden Rule organization.
She doesn’t go out often.
If she goes out, it’s almost always for one reason.
The purpose is to earn money by selling the potions you have made.
Her manufacturing skills are said to be outstanding.
She leaves early in the morning and goes to her business partner in advance.
She has been interested in alchemy since her school days.
So, he secretly learned alchemy, and as soon as he became an adult, he began to walk the path of an alchemist.
**********
“I see… He’s not a thief… If I see him later, I’ll have to apologize for scaring him.”
“Yeah.. I don’t have any more business to do, so can I go to sleep now?”
Seoyoon looked sleepy and gently rubbed her eyes with her hands.
Seoyoon wasn’t awake, but seemed to wake up in a hurry when she heard my knock.
I’m sorry for no reason.
“Wait a minute, Seoyoon, can I ask you one last question?”
“What is it..?”
“Um.. could you..”
I wanted to say this since I first saw Seoyoon.
I wanted to ask why Seo-yoon stuttered like this and spoke passively.
I was curious about Seo-yoon stuttering and talking passively.
It may be foolish, but since we are destined to be together as members of the Golden Rule from now on, I must not touch her painful parts.
I hesitated for a while.
I thought for a long time about whether this single word was stimulating her trauma.
“Is there a reason why you stutter?..”
“Ah… That’s just because I have a timid personality..”
It was just random.
The atmosphere became awkward for no reason because I was interested in strange places without any use.
**********
I hurriedly left Seoyoon’s room before the atmosphere got any more awkward and went to my room.
I lay down on the bed, put my arm over my forehead, and called the system.
‘system’
– Tiring!

..Something was strange.
There has been a change in the system interface.
What happened?
I tried to adapt to the changes.
But I was very tired now.
That’s because we fought to the death at the gate.
So it was annoying to check the explanations one by one.

==========
Unbelievable..
I realized that the impact of the King’s insight was enormous.
‘I guess I should thank that goblin for this?’
I suddenly discovered that the King’s Insight skill is not a passive skill.
So, if this technology were to be used on humans…
Can you confirm that person’s information?
I wanted to find out to what extent this king’s skill of insight could be used.
I hope tomorrow comes quickly.
I think I’ll have a hard time sleeping tonight.
**********
In the end, I couldn’t sleep at all.
I immediately threw off the blanket, got up, opened the door, and went out.
But then I made eye contact with a woman with a ponytail.
“Huh? Are you… that crazy guy from yesterday?!”
Why does this bitch with glasses curse me from the first time I meet her?
“Do you know how shitty I felt yesterday because most of my potions were broken and I didn’t get much money because of you?”
“No, who are you..”
for a moment. I thought it would be good to use my insight in this situation, so I immediately used the technique.
‘The King’s Insight activated.’

=================
“Hey. Do you chew on people’s words?”
“Ah… The petty thief I saw on that manhole cover yesterday?”
“Someone is a petty thief! Why are you here?”
She didn’t know I subscribed to the Golden Rule.
So I explained everything to her.
She looked like a model student.
However, the tone of speech was not like that.
“Your name is Yerim, right? Yerim Choi. I’m Han Si-woo.”
“Well, well, how do you know that?”
She didn’t even pretend to hear my name and was surprised and asked where I knew her name.
“Seoyoon told me yesterday.”
“Really? That’s it then.”
“Hey, you’re 20 years old? I’m older, so why do I talk like that?”
“What do you care what I said?! Don’t worry!”
– Boom!
She entered the room talking to me in a loud voice.
It was so tightly closed that it gave the illusion that the door was slightly bent when it was closed.
I sighed.
Oops. That’s not what’s urgent right now.
Starting today, I had to officially do something as a member of the Golden Rule.
I went to Eunbyeol’s room to ask about it.
That was the problem.
By mistake I opened the door without knocking,
In it, there was Eunbyeol coming out of the shower.
