Rattling-

“Hey.”

“Yep!”

At Do Yu-jin’s one word, Tagame, who now had an afro hairstyle instead of a regent’s, answered in a loud voice.

Do Yu-jin decided to quickly state the matter, as it would have been a headache if something happened.

“The road conditions seem bad, so drive slowly. It’s not like you have any urgent business anyway.”

“Yes! Understood, bro!”

Tagame answered loudly and then slowly slowed down the speed of his motorcycle.

Then he shouted towards the person behind him.

“Children! Big brother told me to move slowly!”

“Yes! Captain!”

“Drive slowly, you bastards!”

At Tagame’s words, the Red Tail team members who were following him shouted as if repeating what they had said and slowed down their motorcycles.

Do Yu-jin watched them from the side seat of the motorcycle, commonly called the sidecar, with Erio in her arms.

Originally, Do Yu-jin was going to just steal a motorcycle from the unconscious ones and leave.

“Ugh… … ”

However, Doyujin’s plan was slightly disrupted when Tagame came to his senses much faster than expected.

“Huh? What? He just woke up?”

Glance-

“Did you listen to me and adjust the output?”

“Yeah.”

Dismissed-!

“But I think I made a little mistake.”

Erio said in a slightly cold voice.

Because I thought I made a mistake in front of Do Yu-jin.

“Should I knock you out again?”

“I guess it’s easier that way?”

“Okay, wait a minute!”

As the two were talking like that, Tagame waved both his hands and shouted urgently.

“Brother, Sister! Please wait a moment!”

“Brother?”

“Sister?”

While Do Yu-jin was taken aback by the sudden title, Tagame quickly continued.

“If you want a motorcycle, I’ll give you a ride! So, sis! Stop that dangerous thing and just talk!”

“It’s a motorcycle, we can drive it.”

“… … Have you ever ridden a motorcycle?”

“No, this is my first time riding one since I was born.”

Do Yu-jin didn’t seem too worried as she answered like that.

Because most vehicles in this world had automatic driving functions built into them.

If you can just press the power button, you can ride most things without any problems.

Tagame scratched his cheek and answered Doyujin’s words.

“That’s… …Sorry, our bikes don’t have auto-ride features.”

“Huh? Why isn’t that there? Isn’t self-driving a basic function?”

“I thought it didn’t look right, so I removed everything when customizing it.”

Do Yu-jin was speechless at the very convincing reason and kept her mouth shut.

“So all the things you use don’t have self-driving functions?”

“Yes, we are basically a riding team, so we do not accept guys who use auto-driving functions as our team.”

Do Yu-jin let out a small sigh as the sight of him talking while sweating profusely did not seem like a lie.

‘Then should I just take the bus like I originally planned?’

Actually, it wasn’t really a problem because that was the plan from the beginning.

But in a situation where so many more comfortable vehicles were coming in, I felt a strange sense of regret about just taking the bus.

When Do Yu-jin was feeling slightly depressed.

Boom boom-!

“Don’t worry!”

Tagame said, pounding his chest with his rock-like fist.

“I, Tagamega, the leader of the Red Tails! I will take responsibility and carry you two!”

“Why are you burning us?”

“Because you beat me.”

Why is it connected that way?

Oh my gosh-!

While Do Yu-jin was wondering, Tagame turned around and pointed to the words ‘A man’s one word is worth a thousand gold’ (男兒一言重千金) carved on his back.

“You two have defeated me head on, just as I said. That alone is enough reason for me to treat you two as my brother and sister.”

Shhh-

“If you have such great skills, I don’t think you’re a spy from another team, so I’ll be happy to help you.”

“What the heck is a team… … No, rather, I was just standing next to him, so why are you calling me hyung?”

“Aren’t you your sister’s lover? If so, you’re my brother!”

I wondered if there was such a simple reason, but looking at his face, it seemed like he was sincere.

‘At first glance, it doesn’t seem like there’s any malicious intent, but what should I do… … ‘

While Do Yu-jin was worrying like that.

Swish-

Erio said, pulling Doyujin’s sleeve.

“Just type.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah. Anyway… … ”

Phage crackle-!

“Because I can handle any situation.”

“Hmm, that’s definitely true.”

Tagame, who was sweating slightly at the sight of Erio’s lightning, bowed deeply upon hearing those words and said.

“I will serve you with utmost care!”

So the two of them somehow managed to get around the village with Tagame’s help, and in conclusion, accepting Tagame’s offer was a great choice.

Booong-

“Found it!”

“Captain! Don’t you think it’s too much to just leave us unconscious?!”

Because the Red Tail team members who had been passed out like this gradually gathered together, I ended up having an unexpected reckless driving experience, but thanks to that, I was able to tour the city faster and more comfortably than I had expected.

There were other harvests too.

“You’d be better off going to the place next door. The fried food the old man makes there is amazing.”

In this way, it is not only information that only local people know, but also information that only local people know.

“So the situation in Tokyo right now is unusual?”

Because I was able to hear a little bit of information about the current situation in Japan.

“Yes, that’s right, brother.”

Tagame nodded with a heavy face and said.

“I don’t know the details either… …I heard that it happened because the Osaka side of the Demonic Realm, separated by a barrier, became chaotic.”

“Hmm, if it’s the devil’s business, it’s not surprising that it’s getting serious.”

“Yes. So I heard that not only the guilds in Tokyo and the Black Guild, but also the guilds in other regions are on edge.”

Tagame said that while eating chicken skewers, then suddenly scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“Because of that, we also became sensitive and made that mistake when we first met.”

“Huh? Why are you guys being so sensitive?”

“Oh, that was too much nonsense.”

Tagame stood up from his seat with a look of realization on his face and hit his chest with his fist.

“First of all, we, the guys who entered Red Tail, are all students from Kyoto Academy, even though they look like this.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Well, I knew you’d be surprised. Kyoto Academy is considered one of the most prestigious academies in Japan, along with Tokyo Academy.”

Do Yu-jin was surprised not because they were from Tokyo Academy, but because they looked like they were her age and she would have believed them to be 30 years old, but she didn’t bother to correct that.

“If that’s the case, I can understand. As a student at the Academy, you can’t help but be sensitive to the guild’s trends.”

Oh, by the way, even though they were in the same academy, the circles were opposite.

The circle is rather the guild that keeps an eye on the students.

Vroom-

As Do Yu-jin nodded, Tagame started the motorcycle and said.

“But what are you going to do now? The sun is starting to set. Is there anywhere else you want to go?”

“Well… … ”

Do Yu-jin was worried.

Because the unexpected help from Tagame drastically shortened the travel time, I ended up wasting some time.

‘… … Since it’s come to this, should I go there first?’

Doyujin, who had made up her mind, looked at Tagame and asked.

“Do you happen to know anything about the shrine nearby?”

“Hmm? Are you a gentleman?”

“Yeah, I know there’s an old shrine nearby, so I’d like to go check it out.”

“Hmm, even if you say that all of a sudden… … This area is overflowing with old shrines.”

Tagame added with a troubled expression on his face.

“Is there anything else unusual?”

“There are a lot of torii?”

“Ah, I know that place.”

“Huh? Really?”

Do Yu-jin asked back in surprise, as she had never thought it would come out like this.

“Yes, I’m a native of Kyoto.”

Tagame said that and rode his motorcycle lightly up the mountain with long stairs.

“The gentleman you are looking for will appear if you keep going up these stairs.”

“Oh, I knew it was on the way, but it was closer than I thought.”

Do Yu-jin looked at the stairs for a moment and then got off the motorcycle.

“Sorry, I’m going up there for a bit, so you have to wait here for a bit.”

“Yes? But… … ”

“Oh, no. Come to think of it, I think it would be better to just go back without waiting. You should do what you have to do now.”

“Ah, no! But as a younger brother, I will wait here… … !”

“Captain!”

As Tagame was about to shake his head, a long-haired man shook the device and shouted.

“I think I should go. There’s a call from upstairs.”

“Tsk, of all things… … ”

Tagame hesitated for a moment and then bowed toward Doyujin.

“I’m sorry. I think I’ll have to go first.”

“It’s okay, thank you for carrying us until now.”

“No! Rather, I am grateful!”

Tagame said this, bowed his head once more, and disappeared with his gang.

“Let’s just check here and then go to bed.”

“Yeah.”

As he said that, Erio naturally rode on Doyujin’s back.

Then he pointed with one hand towards the stairs leading to the shrine.

“Departure.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

At Erio’s urging, Doyujin stepped into the first torii at the very front of the stairs.

At that moment.

Passus-

The trees decorating the mountain trembled slightly, alerting someone to the arrival of an uninvited guest.
