Creak.

“Okay. Melt, let’s go now.”

“… … Okay.”

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

A large number of wealthy people disembarked from the huge ships and began to pass through the toll gates to visit the continent.

We also followed the crowd down the toll gate and successfully passed through various checkpoints, and it was time to wait for the guide.

But we were leaving now, so there was no reason to wait for the guide. But for some reason, we kept waiting.

“Sister. Why are you waiting? Just run away.”

“Run away. That’s a good idea. But if we run away like this, our fake identities will be discovered and Grigori will have a hard time, right?”

“Then what are we going to do? Are we going to just wait here until the guide comes? Could it be that the guide is our helper?”

I don’t understand it at all.

Of course, if you run away from here, you’ll be chased, but didn’t you come here with that in mind anyway?

Even though I was being chased, I took that into consideration and used a cruise ship as a means of escape. If it was going to be like this, I wonder if I could have taken something other than a cruise.

And we still haven’t heard an explanation as to why we have to keep waiting here.

Recently, something unpleasant happened, so my partner didn’t want to hear an explanation, but since I have a habit of asking my older sister for answers whenever I feel frustrated or curious, I was very curious inside.

“No. That’s not it. Because our goal is to escape from here and go back to the mansion we worked so hard to build, not to enjoy sightseeing.”

“No, then why.”

“Just wait. If you wait, you’ll know everything.”

And what annoys me the most is my sister’s way of saying that if you wait, you’ll know everything.

You keep it to yourself and don’t tell me. I don’t know why you keep trying to know everything for yourself and don’t tell me.

‘It’s annoying. Can you stop using words like that?’

Haa. Well, I can’t help it. This is my older sister. If not, then she’s not my older sister.

Anyway, my older sister is trying to shoulder everything and solve it herself. I wish she would talk to me too.

Rustle rustle.

“Oh. I see you’re here. Hello?”

“Oh, hello! I came here to hear from Grigori.”

We met the woman who had heard from Grigori and the girl following her.

A woman about my sister’s height and a girl about my height.

aha.

It was only then that I realized why those two had come here.

“Yeah. Did you all bring your ID? And the face mask too.”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s an honor. I never thought I’d see that tyrant. And it’s nice to see Enoch too.”

“Oh, oh. Okay.”

A woman speaking with shining eyes.

And the girl standing behind him passively, without saying anything.

If my guess is correct, those two will board that cruise ship to replace my sister and I.

To put it simply, our identities and theirs will be switched, and we will go to the place my older sister calls a haven, and they will follow Grigori and whatever will happen to them.

‘Oh, really. If it was going to be like this, you should have told me in advance. It’s just annoying me for no reason.’

But when I said that my older sister would know, I suddenly felt better because I knew that she would understand as soon as she saw me.

Yes. My older sister always plans everything and acts accordingly.

So, it must have been because my sister had her own plan to ditch me on the cruise ship and flirt with her boyfriend.

“Okay. Then shall we go change clothes now?”

“Huh? Where can I change? There’s no bathroom here, and there’s no separate changing room?”

Then the girl raised her hand and spoke in a small voice.

“Over there. Just go over there.”

The girl pointed with her index finger to where the harbor guards were.

Guards? Guards all of a sudden! I wonder if they are planning to imprison us all or execute us.

“Oh, right. That’s a good idea. There’s probably someone there who can thank you.”

“Who, sister?”

“Come on, melt. Now you’ll meet your benefactor.”

My sister, I, the woman and the girl all went to the guardhouse together.

There was a large polar bear guarding the entrance, but when the woman showed him a certain seal, he simply stepped aside and opened the door.

Suddenly.

So we entered the port, the guardhouse of Vladimir.

Inside the guardhouse, guards were seen resting.

“A guest has arrived. Captain Joya? I think you should say hello.”

“Ugh… … A guest? Who are you to be so noisy… … .”

A voice came from what appeared to be the captain’s room.

The shadow of the captain of the guard was so large and dark that I felt a little intimidated and hid behind my sister.

Suddenly.

But what came out of that room was, contrary to my expectations, a small and cute girl named Suin.

No, should we call this a water creature? An unknown being with a human face but the ears and tail of a water creature appeared.

“Huh? Oh, hello. I’m Zoya, captain of the Vladimir Port Guard. What brings you here?”

ah.

I remembered what a person with that kind of appearance was called.

A race that looks like a water creature with only its tail and everything else looking like a human.

It was a human-human hybrid, Insu.

“Uh… … I came here on Grigori’s introduction. I was grateful at that time. Thanks to you, our Noki was able to be safe.”

“ㄴ, yes?! Mr. Grigori? I… … That means… … .”

My sister took off her face mask and threw it away, letting her golden hair flutter.

And then he took out a goblin mask from somewhere and put it on his face.

“Yes, I am the tyrant. Nice to meet you.”

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.”

But suddenly the captain of the guard began to tremble violently and convulse.

I think it’s because he knows my sister’s true identity.

‘Yes. That’s normal. It’s not like I’m indifferent to knowing someone’s identity like everyone else.’

As expected, he is the world’s worst criminal and tyrant.

I don’t know what happened before I lost my memory to be called the worst criminal, but I heard all the bad things about it, so it was natural for me to be so scared.

“Wow, woow. Calm down. I didn’t come here to hurt you. Oh right, it’s melting. You should take that off too.”

“Huh? Got it.”

Ssuk.

I also took off my mask and revealed my face.

So this time my body was completely frozen and I couldn’t move at all.

Hmm. Since this is the north, I guess it would be more accurate to say it’s freezing?

Anyway, since the response was good, I started to feel like joking around a little.

“Melting. That person is the one who saved you from being kidnapped and brought you to a safe place. To put it simply, he is a benefactor. Now, should I thank him quickly?”

“I was going to do that anyway. I’m not a kid anymore, so don’t talk to me like that.”

Ahem.

“Hello. This is Enoch. I… …I don’t know because I lost my memory, but I heard that you saved me. Nice to meet you.”

“Oh my, oh my, oh my. I, I’m Jo, Joya. I, I’m sorry about last time! ”

Sorry? All of a sudden? I don’t know why?

The face of the captain of the guard who introduced himself as Joya gradually turned red, and soon he turned his head away.

What? Did I do something wrong? Or was something wrong done to me? I don’t know because I don’t remember.

“We’ve finished greeting each other and we don’t have much time, so I’ll just get to the main point. Let me use this locker room. I’d like Enoch to have a wall.”

“ㄴ, yes… …the locker room is over there.”

“Thank you.”

We went into the locker room that the captain of the security guard pointed to.

And then, out of nowhere, there was a changing room with an open ceiling but closed on all sides.

I guess I’ll have to go in there and change my clothes.

And I also have to give up the clothes I was wearing.

“Okay, let’s all change quickly. The guides should be almost there by now.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“Okay. Take off your clothes quickly and throw them upstairs. Got it? ”

“Okay. Okay.”

Bam. Slurp. Bam. Slurp.

My sister changed into women’s clothes, and I changed into girls’ clothes.

The girl’s clothes were made of extremely light and warm material, and the face of the veil she had brought was that of a girl with black hair and black eyes.

“Oh, that’s what I mean.”

I looked in the mirror and struck various poses.

It was a bit embarrassing to do this with someone else’s face instead of my own, but I posed confidently since no one could see inside the changing room anyway.

Suddenly.

“Melting. Let’s go now. The kids went first… … .”

“Uh, uh uh.”

“Sorry. Keep doing what you were doing. I’ll go out and wait for you.”

“Oh, no. That’s not it.”

bang.

Ahahahahaha.

What the hell, I’m sold.

I got caught by my older sister while posing in front of the mirror for no reason.

I, Enoch, will never pose in front of a mirror again.

I opened the door and went out.

Suddenly.

As I left the locker room where everyone had left, I saw my older sister chatting lightly with Joya.

‘No, you two have become close? That’s fast.’

No matter how much I think about it, looking at my sister’s friendliness and strength, it seems like she didn’t need to do something like this, so I don’t know why she does this.

Are you trying to survive in the government? Or are you trying to overthrow the current government and take over for yourself?

ha.

But what should I do if I know my sister’s goal?

I can’t help you anyway.

The best and most comfortable thing to do is to just follow my older sister and do what she tells me to do.

I approached my sister.

“Sister. What are you doing?”

“Ah. It’s already over? You can do more.”

“Sister, please.”

“Ah, okay. Let’s go now. You spoke well, Joya~.”

“Yes! Goodbye!”

Squeak. Crunch, crunch.

After greeting the captain and other members of the guard, we slowly walked down the street.

But, perhaps because it was a northern port, a cold wind brushed my cheek as soon as I stepped outside.

I had a rough idea of what the road ahead would be like.
