Inevitability requires no prayer.

Even if I did nothing, Munju, who did not sense any signs of threat, was leaving the clan dressed well. I was sitting at the table with Sanyeo and eating grilled skewers. Sanyeo hid her hands in her sleeves and stuck out her head.

I pushed a piece of grilled skewer into her mouth and said in a low voice.

“Because I went today. I’ll start at night.”

Sanyeo tore the meat off the skewer. It was like watching a wild cat chewing a piece of meat with its small lips.

“I will support you.”

She said that while swallowing the meat. Are you planning on sleeping in your dorm? I nodded to her and then roughly threw the skewer onto the bowl. Since I had nothing to do before night, I thought I would just do some simple training and get some sleep.

“Take a look at my performance.”

Sanyeo nodded at my request and quickly followed me. As I deliberately made loud footsteps and walked slowly, the store clerk gave me an envious look and then looked away.

I had to relax because I didn’t know what might happen.

******

“You said you were cheering?”

Have you ever said that you should listen to what people say to the end? A dark night after the sun has set. With the moon and stars creating a chaotic atmosphere, Sanyeo and I were facing each other on the street. Sanyeo blinked and acted like she didn’t understand what I was saying, so I spoke to her again.

“Didn’t you mean cheering while resting inside?”

Sanyeo shook her head. Today, those red eyes felt strangely shameless.

“We are all in the same boat. We should go together.”

“You’re going to intervene in the scene where I’m coaxing that guy’s daughter?”

If the story didn’t go well, he could have killed his daughter on the spot and tried to rape her. Sanyeo is watching and cheering me on while I rape a woman?

“….Not bad. Let’s go.”

It didn’t feel as bad as I thought. I don’t know if the man was voyeurizing, but Sanyeo was a beautiful woman who was always present wherever she went. Sanyeo looked puzzled by my sudden change in posture. The way she just tilted her head with her hands together was cute, like a doll.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, yes.”

Sanyeo, who had lost control, took a step slower at my urging.

On the streets at night, men wearing Hongryun sect uniforms were walking around holding torches. They relieved themselves of the boredom of the night shift by sighing or singing old songs. We moved to the wall of the mansion, avoiding the noise they made.

“Security is not that tight.”

As Sanyeo said, the security within the Hongryun Sect was lax. It could be said that they were doing their best, but there were only about two people standing in each major building, and those people were people who had little skill and had not grasped the basics, so they could not sense me and others.

To me, it was no different from setting up a scarecrow, and Sanyeo also looked at the guards with a sad expression and said,

“The big man was still third-rate, but where was he? It seems easy to infiltrate if you know the location.”

I shook my head and said to Sanyeo’s words.

“Rather than that, I need to find where my daughter is. Looking at the state of alert, such a person must be sleeping somewhere.”

“That makes sense.”

Since I couldn’t see anyone walking around, checking the location of the big guy was a waste of time.

As I easily climbed over the wall and entered inside, Sanyeo sniffed. She bent down and tilted her head like a drug-sniffing dog. She took my hand, which was just about to look around, and pointed to one side of the building.

Because of the handcuffs, he held on with both hands and looked like he was begging me.

“It smells like alcohol.”

The building she pointed to with a nod was lit by lanterns and had shadows swaying, and it looked like a drinking party had been going on since the first day Moonju disappeared. Sanyeo focused her eyes on the shadows and spoke to me.

“I can feel the energy, maybe that big guy is drinking over there too.”

“I guess so.”

There was a distance between the wall we came down from and the building where the drinking bar was held, but the noisy voices were spreading clearly.

“Now, for our Moonju’s long life!”

“For!”

“What is the Hongryun faction? Old file room! For the day when I go to the old file room!”

“For!”

The toast that had just been shouted showed that the atmosphere was now heating up. They won’t leave that place for a while. Sanyeo let go of my hand and said.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult if your daughter was there?”

A smile remained on her lips. I said, shaking my head.

“It is said that Moon-ju is keeping his daughter locked up, but no matter how brave his subordinates are, they would not let such a daughter into a drinking party.”

“Then, there are quite a few rooms, how do I find them?”

The building of the Hongryun Sect was quite large. Even at a rough count, there were about 7 buildings connected to each other, and each of the 7 buildings seemed to have 3 rooms attached to them. If you went around looking for each person, there was a high chance of getting caught, no matter how lax the security was.

I narrowed my eyes and looked around. I saw several people coming out of the building where the drinking party was taking place and moving around busily. They repeatedly went from room to room carrying trays of food or drinks, and some of the servants were giggling as they grabbed food among themselves and ate it in the corner.

Dark smoke was rising from the kitchen.

I motioned to Sanyeo and pressed myself against the wall, then focused my gaze on the people coming out of the kitchen.

“Wait.”

Sanyeo followed my words, kept her mouth shut, and focused her gaze on the attendants. The direction in which the people bringing food went was set. The direction in which servants eat together, and the direction in which disciples eat food.

And there was a servant who was carrying food and walking in a different direction. He walked towards a quiet building where a party was not taking place.

“That bastard. Even in Amman’s den, there’s no way only real cubs can survive.”

Isn’t it possible that it’s a den of true beasts where only those who are comfortable living among themselves live there?

According to rumors, Moon-ju is obsessed with his daughter to the point of cutting the tendons in her legs, so he couldn’t have invited her to a drinking party. But that doesn’t mean everyone is hungry even though they’re eating.

It is natural for someone to go and provide food.

From the roof to the shade of the trees. Moving quickly, using the shadowy gaps in the building, we chased after him. It looked back a few times as if the back of its head was tickling, but it never noticed us.

“Lady. Miss.”

“…What’s going on?”

It walked halfway around the building and stopped in a blind spot that was out of our sight. A thin shadow appeared in the lit room, which was invisible because its back was turned to us. She was sitting in front of her desk holding a brush, and the rolled-up paper appeared as a diamond-shaped shadow.

The distance was not far, so voices talking could be heard clearly.

“Please eat some food.”

“…… Did you bring it with you on purpose for me?”

“Yes, yes… .”

The man who appeared to be a servant scratched his head and laughed heartily. Because he was twisting his body as if embarrassed, his clothes made of low-quality fabric made a loud rustling sound.

It rattled.

The door opened. We crouched a little closer to avoid being seen in the reflected light.

In the light, Hongryunpa’s daughter appeared.

The male servant was looking at her with an ecstatic expression, and she was smiling as she carefully ran her fingers through the food the man had brought for her. The man seemed satisfied with his expression full of small joy.

“Thank you. Please take care like this.”

“That… . Oh no… .”

“Have you eaten?”

she asked the man. Faint laughter and loud shouts spread. The man’s face was blushing and his body was shaking. Even if my ears weren’t bright, I could tell that his heart was beating like crazy.

The woman had elegantly braided black hair and was a simple but beautiful woman. Her black eyes sparkled like beads in the light, and her simple outfit made her charm stand out.

Although her clothes were tightly wrapped, the outline of her chest stood out, and the scars on her ankles visible through her skirt were clearly visible. The story about cutting the tendon seemed to be true. Every time she moved her hips, her feet dragged around helplessly, like a tail.

The man quickly glanced at her clothes and ankles, then shook his head in even more confusion.

And shouted.

“Well, I ate! It’s time to get to work, so let’s go!”

She looked a little surprised by his reaction, then smiled again.

“Yes. Be careful.”

She was a woman with a very beautiful voice. The man ran away, and Moonju’s daughter watched him run away for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed.

Sanyeo winked at me and asked.

“Isn’t it such a beautiful sight?”

“Sure.”

The sight of them holding chopsticks and chewing their little mouths to eat the meat was definitely fascinating. I stood up, agreeing with Sanyeo’s words.

Moonju’s daughter, who had been intentionally touching the bushes and making noise while chewing her food, lifted her shoulders like a squirrel and looked around while holding chopsticks.

I spoke in a low voice as I saw her blinking and wary.

“Calm down. Don’t scream.”

Even if I stepped out of the shadows just a little bit, she could see me right away because of the light shining in the room. I spread both hands to show that there was no hostility and said with a smile.

“It’s okay. are you okay. I’m trying to give you a good offer.”

The girl looked anxious and leaned back a little, but did not scream.

We made eye contact.

Her black eyes were quite fascinating.
