He is a suspicious person.

This was the thought that came to Carly’s mind the moment she first saw Venice.

With his slicked-back black hair and overall cute clothes and atmosphere, one could be sure that he was from the upper class.

However, there was just one problem.

his impressions.

Bright red eyes that can be seen through squinted eyes that don’t know if they are open or smiling, and the corners of the mouth that are torn as if they are making a vicious plan.

Because I was able to meet all kinds of people in my life, I never tried to judge people based on their appearances. There are many cases where the outside and inside are different.

It was fine until I encountered Venice. I felt a sense of rejection and disgust at the fact that the person in front of me was from the upper class, but I was able to endure it.

Unlike other upper-class people, as soon as they met me, they didn’t give me a look that couldn’t hide their disgust and displeasure.

It was a bit interesting to sit on a soft chair and look at expensive items that I felt like I had limited knowledge about.

The change occurred when he asked if I had time left. Of course there was time.

Because I came here in the first place after receiving money as your bodyguard. Because I was paid enough money to endure this disgust and discomfort.

I answered his question when I had time.

Sigh-

“……!”

When he suddenly looked at him and smiled sinisterly. Kali unconsciously took a few steps back and lowered her posture.

The experience I had accumulated while crossing the line of fire warned me that the person in front of me was dangerous.

Ominous eyes that seem to penetrate not only the outside but also the heart. And the ghost-like torn corners of his mouth made even the brave Kali feel scared.

Have you ever felt this ominous as soon as you encountered someone, not during a battle? At least not in Carly’s memories.

He smiled with a voice that seemed to contain all the malice in the world, and the sight of him staring at me with sinister eyes made it impossible to guess what on earth he was thinking or what he was planning.

“You… what on earth is that expression? What on earth are you planning!!”

Kali lowered her posture and strengthened her entire body. The moment this bastard did something, I was going to crush him with all my might or run away.

“Nothing, I didn’t decorate anything. This is just… my expression… kekekeke…”

The sight of Venice whimpering and covering his mouth, as if he found it unbearably funny, further amplified his suspiciousness.

Wouldn’t that face and smile be similar to the shape of a devil who seems to be trying to devour the world and burn it down?

However, he complained that he was suffering from a ‘sickness that prevents him from laughing.’

….is he crazy? You want me to believe that? Where in the world is there a disease like that?

First, I followed him outside. Of course, I turned around right away and didn’t know what harm he would do to me, so I kept my distance enough and thought about all the possibilities.

As you step outside the door, a scenery that can never be seen from the lower level unfolds before your eyes. Clean streets, neatly dressed people. And the smiles on their faces.

The bastard named Venice starts laughing like crazy again. Once again, I was sharply wary of him, but it seemed like the ‘sickness of not being able to hold back laughter’ he mentioned was true, so he kept saying sorry and soon stopped laughing.

What kind of guy is there? Kali had met all kinds of people, but even for her, the person named Venice was a bit unique.

The feast of technologies that could not be understood with limited knowledge was mysterious, but that did not mean that the upper class was good.

Look at what those handsome noblemen say. They look at me and do not hide their disgust and contempt.

Beast cub. dirty. It’s disgusting. scary. Let’s run away.

A disgusting sound begins to pierce my ears. They seem to be talking loudly thinking that no one else can hear, but I can hear everything because of these ears that you hate and are disgusted with.

“Ha…fuck.’

I cursed softly so that the owner could not hear.

I guess you guys never get tired of it? Why on earth do we have to endure this kind of attention?

That wasn’t even what we did. But why are they treated the same as us? Even you guys know it all.

Even though I’ve heard these looks and received them many times, I still get angry every time I encounter them.

But what can you do? The moment I, a member of the lower class, lay even a finger on people who claim to be nobles, I will be captured by the aristocratic soldiers and disappear without even a rat or a bird knowing.

It was annoying as hell and I hated being here, but what could I do?

I raised my head, which had been bowed in surrender as usual. When I raise my head, I see the back of the owner who has stopped in his seat.

okay. You’re just like other humans, right? They would look at me with the same mixture of disgust and disgust.

They’re probably pretending not to be like that, but they’re laughing at me behind that damn mask. Because that’s what all the upper class people I’ve seen have done.

The owner looks back. I make eye contact with him. I freeze on the spot.

“…what is it? That expression.”

The owner, who was always laughing heartily, had a bone-chilling expression on his face. With a frown, he meets red eyes that convey some kind of heat.

Suin is more sensitive to other people’s emotions. As they are sensitive to themselves, they are able to notice in more detail than ordinary humans.

Sadness, anger, despair, and a sense of duty. It was the emotion I felt on the owner’s face.

…Why on earth are you feeling that way? Why on earth are you making that face?

You, who had an evil smile like the devil, why are you looking at me with such sad eyes?

“Carly.”

“….Why.”

“Let’s go back home.”

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t go against his words. Was it because the emotions he felt touched me, or was it because it had been so long since I had looked at him like that?

I quietly followed the owner. The owner returned home, sat in his room, seemed to think for a while, and then headed to a place called ‘Counseling Center’.

…clinic? Is there anyone in this damn city who does counseling or something?

Could it be that this person is plotting something evil under the pretext of counseling?

Thump- Kwasik.

However, Kali’s delusion quickly disappeared.

This is because I saw the owner, who entered a small building called a counseling center, wandering around in the dark and bumping into things several times, even though there was a power switch right next to the entrance.

The beast’s excellent vision and hearing clearly remembered the sight and sounds of humans wandering in the dark.

‘This is your counseling center….’

Is this guy a little lacking?

He seemed like a fool, and he seemed to have a clumsy temperament that didn’t match his impression.

“…What are you doing?”

Click.

However, when asked to the security guard, ‘Are you an asshole?’ Since I couldn’t say that, I made a pitiful expression and turned on the light.

The owner came out with a curious expression and looked at the switch several times.

This is a funny guy.

Despite its scary appearance, it seems like a strangely clumsy animal.

Knock-knock-knock.

At that time, someone knocks on the closed door. The owner and I looked at the door at the same time.

“…Is there anyone?”

“Oh, you can come in.”

“Then please excuse me.”

Sigh…

The closed door opens, and a man who appears to be three heads taller than me walks in. His neatly dressed suit seemed like it was about to explode, his muscles were flexing, and his grim expression gave the impression that he had killed several people.

“”……..””

As soon as the man entered the room, he made eye contact with me, who was standing with his arms crossed.

Why are you staring at me all of a sudden? Is this your first time seeing a prisoner?

It was the owner’s words that ended the gaze contest between me and the man.

” Just come inside.”

“….Why is there a beast in the upper layer?”

Ppajik-

Ha, fuck. I tried to hold back, but you’re annoying me again.

At the man’s words, I feel veins sprouting on my forehead and my whole body fluttering uncontrollably.

Just say one more word. I will rip your jaws out.

“Hmm. If you have any complaints, you can leave.”

“…What?”

“The person over there is my bodyguard. You are the one who guarantees my safety. However, if you are still dissatisfied, I would appreciate it if you could leave.”

The owner, who was just smiling while looking at the man, suddenly turned his face and looked at the man, revealing his hidden red eyes.

…Are you defending me now? I was shocked by the defense I hadn’t received in years, and stopped in my tracks, forgetting about the anger that was rising.

Even if you criticized me as a fellow upper-class resident, I wouldn’t have said anything in particular. I didn’t have any expectations anyway.

I still don’t know if that’s true or false. There was no doubt that the owner was a strange child.

The man breaks into a cold sweat as he meets the owner’s gaze, and then sighs.

“…I’m sorry. It shouldn’t have happened like this. It seems like I have become the same person.”

“Ha, you just need to know.”

“Then, please come inside.”

“…Excuse me.”

I had been angry just a moment ago, but strangely enough, it seemed to have disappeared quickly.

Squeak… Boom.

……………

……………

The man and the owner enter the room and talk about something. Even with the advanced hearing of a prisoner, it was impossible to completely understand the conversation beyond the blocked wall.

“Ugh…”

I didn’t have anything to do, and I felt like I’d get more damn stares if I went out, so I just sat down in the spare chair.

…….!

………

I’m not sure, but the conversation seemed to be getting more heated. Then, the sound soon becomes quiet, and the tightly closed door opens.

The man and the owner begin to come out of the room together.

“Turn…sigh… Thank you… Teacher…”

“I’m sorry that I can only provide such small help.”

“No…! It was a great help and comfort to me… Thank you so much…!”

What kind of bullshit is this? The man, who seemed like he wouldn’t shed a single tear even if one of his limbs was cut off, bowed his head at a 90 degree angle to his owner and expressed his gratitude, just as he was wiping out tears and snot.

The owner pats the man on the shoulder.

The man wipes away his tears, gathers his emotions, and then walks out of the counseling center with the same solemn expression on his face as when he came in.

However, the difference from when he came in was that his empty eyes were filled with vitality, showing happiness and the will to live.

“Phew… Is this what I lived?”

“…Owner. What on earth have you done? Why is that guy suddenly being so annoying?”

“What are you doing? It’s just consultation.”

What kind of counseling should I give, why is a grown man acting like a child?

Did you use some kind of magic?

Knock knock-

Sigh-

“Next person. Come in.”

When there was a knock on the door, Carly couldn’t help but stick out her tongue as she looked at Venice, who was smiling evilly again.

And then a thought began to come to mind.

The person named Venice, who was his master and the object of his protection, was truly an incomprehensibly strange person.
