Ch.BONUSYellow, Red, and Conspiracy

“No! Why won’t this delete?!”

Scrub, scrub, scrub!―

Rina Lee was frantically rubbing the monitor screen while screaming in frustration.

Behind her, Soohyun Kim was watching the spectacle with utter disdain.

“Will that make it disappear? It’s not like something’s stuck on the monitor.”

“Argh! Shut up! You did this, didn’t you?! Huh?! I know it was you!”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t resort to such underhanded tactics.”

Besides, there are plenty of ways I can beat you without them.

Soohyun’s final unspoken comment was more than enough to sink Rina.

[Rina Lee – Incidents and Controversies]

– Separate document exists

“Isn’t this too much?! I’ve accomplished so many things! Why is there a separate document just for incidents and controversies that’s this long?! Anyone would think I’m The Elder!”

It’s unfair. Truly unfair. All I did was try my best!

She desperately wanted to delete this document, but what was the point? It would regenerate after five minutes.

“But you know what? You never cared about this stuff before. Why start now?”

That was the most puzzling part. Rina had never cared about these things.

Whatever the news reported, whatever articles wrote, or even what wikis like this said about her.

With her supreme ego, she was too busy causing incidents while thinking, ‘I’ll do whatever I want.’

But recently, she’d suddenly become incredibly sensitive about such matters.

Especially checking wikis daily, searching for evaluations about herself.

“I can’t help it. Kids these days look at this stuff first.”

“…Anyone listening would think you actually had children.”

Neither woman had children yet. They’d decided it wasn’t the right time.

Right now, they wanted to spend more time with Seojin Baek. Just a little longer together. Children would come after.

So when Rina suddenly brought up kids, Soohyun couldn’t help but think, ‘What’s this about?’

“They should write more about my achievements and contributions! No, I should just do it myself…”

“Oh please. If you have time for that, just have another sparring match with me.”

Unable to bear it any longer, Soohyun issued another challenge to Rina.

The outcome was still predetermined, but there was always something to gain from each encounter.

“Not now.”

But Rina, that woman who loved fighting, The Yellow Madwoman, said not now.

Soohyun was so surprised she doubted her own ears.

“If I fight now, I might unconsciously throw a serious punch.”

“What are you talking about? When have you ever not been serious? You’ve always tried to crush me.”

“I tried to crush you, but I never actually tried to kill you.”

“…That’s true.”

“But right now I’m a bit worked up. If I lose control and you get hurt? Do you know how many people would lecture me?”

The thought alone was terrifying. Starting with her mother, then her father joining in, and Minseong Kang would go ballistic.

Most decisively, if word reached Seojin Baek, she’d be sleeping alone for a month. Guaranteed.

‘Hmm. Hearing that makes me want to spar even more. Hehehe!’

From Soohyun’s perspective, Rina’s misfortune was her happiness, which made it all the more intriguing.

“Come on, let’s spar.”

“I said no.”

“Ah, could it be you’re afraid of losing?”

“You really… want to die?”

Who would Rina be if she stayed quiet after being provoked like that?

After Soohyun provoked her one more time, Rina finally couldn’t take it anymore and stood up.

“Fine! Today I’m going all out. Don’t regret it. Got it?”

“Have I ever regretted asking for a sparring match?”

Never. Why would she regret it? She always gained something.

Sometimes she found ways to fill her own deficiencies.

Other times, she got to see Rina being lectured by Seojin Baek.

From Soohyun’s perspective, sparring with Rina was an endless treasure trove.

“Where should we prepare? Like last time, we could ask your grandfather to…”

“No. Follow me. I know a good place.”

“A good place?”

“Yeah. I bought an uninhabited island where I practice alone sometimes. If we fight there, we won’t have to worry about causing problems or cleaning up afterward. Let’s go.”

If Seojin Baek had heard that, he might have scolded her, saying, “How badly are you planning to beat her that you need to take her to such a place?!”

But Soohyun had no intention of refusing her offer. She actually thought it was a good idea.

And so began the 101st sparring match between The Crimson Witch and The Yellow Madwoman.

*

“Hmm…”

Sprawled out in a corner of the uninhabited island, Soohyun stared blankly at the sky.

Still not enough. That crazy woman showed no openings.

She herself was clearly getting stronger, and rapidly, overwhelmingly so.

Yet somehow, Rina wasn’t just maintaining the gap—she was widening it.

“Want to continue?”

“…No. I think this is enough.”

“Really? That’s a relief. I was worried I might seriously injure you if we went any further.”

Crazy woman. Truly crazy. Just how strong was she becoming?

Even past powerhouses like Minseong Kang and Hakjun Ma eventually plateaued.

Current S-rank ability users had stopped growing and remained at the same level.

Thud!―

“…?”

Hearing a strange sound, Soohyun turned her head while still lying down.

There was Rina, sprawled on the ground just like her, staring at the sky.

“Something occurred to me while we were sparring.”

“I don’t want to hear that you were thinking about other things while I was fighting for my life.”

“Oh, come on. I’m trying to share a good idea here.”

Soohyun couldn’t help but glare at Rina.

A good idea? When had any of Rina’s ideas ever been good?

If they had been, Seojin Baek wouldn’t have begged, “Please don’t do anything. Please.”

“Don’t you think we’ve become a bit boring?”

“What do you mean?”

“Taking turns with oppa.”

“You think that’s boring? What, are you trying to say you’re tired of him? If so, hurry up and find another man…”

“You really… damn it.”

Rina, who had been growling, let out a deep sigh and suddenly clenched her fist.

“Instead of competing with each other, what about attacking together?”

“…What?”

“I saw something recently. Men apparently have this fantasy about being with multiple women at once.”

“I’m curious about what you’ve been watching to say such things. Are you on drugs?”

Ignoring Soohyun’s tongue-clicking, Rina just continued.

“Let’s try it once. Aren’t you curious? How would oppa react?”

“Reaction or not, I want to live within moral boundaries. Don’t drag me into your crazy schemes.”

“But oppa might like it? Think about it.”

“…”

If Seojin Baek were here, he might have warned her not to be persuaded by such strange suggestions.

Unfortunately, he was currently at work and obviously not in a position to intervene.

“…Explain in detail.”

It was the moment The Crimson Witch fell into The Yellow Madwoman’s evil clutches.
