Chapter 247: Maid’s Transgression (3) (Mature Illustration)

Inside the park, where the cold autumn wind rustled, Eunbyul and two other people were facing off, keeping their distance.

‘This is dangerous….’

It wasn’t good in many ways.

She already knew her own kinks weren’t socially desirable, but she had intended to enjoy them secretly without causing harm to others.

Because if someone else discovered her in this state, the consequences would be as clear as seeing through a slime.

Since she hadn’t acted assuming she’d be discovered by someone, naturally, a proper way to deal with it couldn’t possibly come to mind.

What would happen if it became known to others that she was an exhibitionist who felt pleasure from wandering around naked?

As her hidden identity would be revealed, first of all, being caught by her damn main family and dragged back was certain. Her position within the group, already weak, would completely fall to rock bottom.

Furthermore, her honor as the ‘Hunter Geum Nari’ would be completely shattered.

A life more terrible than the day she ran away from the group to escape an arranged marriage would await her, so from her position, she absolutely had to avoid that.

‘Just ignore it and go…. Please….’

As if unaware of Eunbyul’s state of mind, the two figures in the darkness rarely left the vicinity of the clothes she had taken off.

‘Ah…!’

The moment one of the two people picked up her brown coat, Eunbyul was completely engulfed in despair.

Not only was that trench coat the only piece of clothing that could cover her body, but unfortunately, inside the coat she had taken off was even the room key to the lodging.

If they disappeared holding Eunbyul’s coat, a way out seemed bleak.

‘Perhaps covering at least my face and making a dash for it….’

At least if she could cover her face, there was a possibility that the honor of ‘Hunter Geum Nari’ or ‘Maid Eunbyul’ wouldn’t be damaged, so in some ways, it felt like the best option.

Shouldn’t she rush between the two people right now, grab her clothes, and run away?

Halfway bracing herself with such resolve in her heart, the moment she peeked her head out.

“……!”

In the faint darkness, she felt the sensation of the two people’s heads turning towards her.

‘…It’s a mistake, right?’

In this darkness, they couldn’t possibly turn their gaze so accurately towards her direction. They were probably just looking around and their gazes coincidentally met in the same direction.

For a moment, engulfed in a sensation like her body freezing, Eunbyul steadied her resolve and turned her gaze back towards the person holding her coat.

The next moment, Eunbyul became engulfed in a sensation like her heart stopping.

Because the two figures who picked up her coat were walking directly towards the utility pole where she was hiding.

Thump. Thump.

“……?!”

At first, she thought she had seen something wrong.

However, the gradually approaching footsteps and figures were clearly proving that the distance between her and them was narrowing.

She could clearly sense them approaching closely, even with her metal detection ability, so that was the undeniable reality.

Other assumptions already held no meaning. If it continued like this, it was a clear fact that they would approach her.

Not only would her defenseless naked state be discovered, but in the worst-case scenario, they might have already seen it in the faint darkness and were walking towards her.

She couldn’t be sure why they were approaching her even after seeing it, but in a situation cornered this far, she didn’t have the leeway to question such things.

Because what was important to her now was that she couldn’t predict the results that would occur if this situation continued as it was.

To survive in this current phase where her social life was hanging by a thread, she had to judge as wisely as possible.

The opponents were two people. Since their true forms couldn’t be confirmed, their abilities couldn’t be assessed, but it was a bit too much to handle for her to cover her face, steal the clothes, and escape.

If things went wrong, she might be subdued and reported to the police without any room for explanation.

Moreover, Eunbyul hadn’t even brought her main weapons, the short swords and daggers, so even the method of responding by using her awakened ability in a pinch wasn’t feasible.

Even setting aside everything else, it would have been better to bring at least a mobile phone.

If only there had been a means of contact, she could have abandoned her clothes in a pinch and contacted her Master, Do Sihee, to request help.

Of course, going to that situation itself was extremely disrespectful, but at least it would be less shocking than her servant appearing in the newspaper’s society section.

‘Somehow….’

If she could somehow recover just that coat, she would be able to recover without any problem.

That coat, appearing like a shimmering lifeline before her eyes, blurred Eunbyul’s judgment in the critical situation.

Because of that, Eunbyul ended up delaying until making her final decision.

‘…No. Let’s run away after all.’

First of all, she thinks about running away from them.

There were too many immediate problems, so she couldn’t decide what to solve first; she had to solve them one by one, starting with the most certain thing.

The problem to solve right now was ‘not getting caught’ by the two people before her.

“Excuse me….”

Tatat!

Leaving the two people slowly approaching the utility pole behind her, she ran at full speed towards the opposite direction, still naked.

Eunbyul at that time hadn’t realized yet that it would become the most wrong choice.

Maid Eunbyul’s escapade, which started around 4 AM, had changed into a completely different situation in just 30 minutes.

Clearly, when it first started, it must have been a secret sexual pastime she unavoidably engaged in to cool down her heated body, but…

Her walk, intended to satisfy her personal desires, had turned into a suspense drama about whether her exhibitionism would be discovered in just over ten minutes.

A little over ten minutes later, it had transformed into a new genre: a moonlit chase.

A chase between fugitive Eunbyul and the two people pursuing her.

‘Why the hell are they still chasing me?!’

Even if, by any chance, they were truly people approaching to report her naked self to the police after discovering her.

Insistently pursuing her while she was running away was an action that made no sense in many ways.

Moreover, seeing that one of the two people was following her at quite a fast speed, they probably seem to possess an awakened ability related to the body.

Eunbyul’s own awakened ability wasn’t quite related to strengthening the body, but thanks to the Geumhyang Group’s consistent training system, her steps weren’t that slow.

Despite that, the fact that the speed chasing her wasn’t lacking meant they were undoubtedly that kind of person.

The one chasing her is a tall Awakened person with short hair.

When she first saw the hairstyle, the thought briefly crossed her mind that it might be a man, but inferring from that physical ability, the possibility seemed significantly lower anyway.

“…….”

It seemed like there was one thing she had forgotten, but because she had to concentrate her mind on shaking off the pursuit, she hastily erased the fleeting thought that came to mind.

‘Not inside the park. There’s nowhere to lose them.’

Since just going around and around inside the park, where there was nowhere to hide or turn, would only waste meaningless time, Eunbyul firmly made up her mind and dared to escape through the park’s back gate.

“……!”

A voice seemed to be shouting something from behind, telling her not to go, but naturally, she couldn’t possibly hear those words.

As soon as she exited the park’s back gate, in the first alley visible, Eunbyul turned right and went in. She did this to escape towards the hillside town, which was sparsely populated and had many alleys.

As soon as she turned into the alley, facing the long staircase that appeared, Eunbyul started climbing the stairs hurriedly and quickly, two steps at a time, but stumbling on the uneven stairs, her body momentarily swayed.

“Crap!”

Her right ankle slightly twisted, and the walker boots she was wearing rolled down the stairs.

She didn’t have the luxury to go back down to pick up the lost shoe. The figures chasing her were already faintly visible down the stairs.

For a moment, the story of the boy who ran away from the ball leaving one glass slipper behind came to mind, but she naturally didn’t have even the time to indulge in such trivial sentimentality.

To balance both feet, Eunbyul took off the other shoe as well and started climbing the stairs again barefoot.

The chase, whose stage had changed from the park to the alley, continued sluggishly for over ten minutes.

‘Please…! Please just go…!’

She climbed stairs, entered alleys, and deliberately ran towards directions with many forks, but the pursuer behind her refused to give up easily and persistently cornered her.

She couldn’t know by what means they accurately chose and chased her down the alleys she picked. It was to the point she wondered if she had a location tracker attached to her body.

She had to move finding paths without CCTV as much as possible, so Eunbyul’s range of movement became narrower and simpler as time passed.

In case sleeping people might wake up, she couldn’t block the path or cause any disturbance.

Using darkness as her only clothing, she moved, her naked body illuminated by moonlight as she hid deeper into the alleys.

Just how far did they intend to chase her? By this point, she even felt fear from the opponent’s persistence.

What on earth was the reason for persistently chasing a naked woman in this darkness without giving up?

One thing was certain: getting caught by those approaching her with such a clear purpose had a high possibility of leading to a bad outcome in any sense.

If those people were truly driven by a sense of justice and chasing her to report her for public indecency.

For that reason, Eunbyul must not get caught even more so.

“……”

Even while being chased, she calmly turned her gaze and walked into another alley without CCTV, but…

What stopped Eunbyul’s steps, after running and running, was a dead-end alley blocked by a very high wall.

‘Ah….’

In the end, it ends up like this.

Because she had twisted and broken kinks like these, which cannot be understood by others.

In the end, I am being swallowed whole by the ruin I myself brought about.

With a sense of emptiness, giving up on everything, Eunbyul turned around. At the end of her gaze, the figures chasing her in the darkness gradually began to reveal their forms.

“……W-what?”

As she began to recognize the identity of the gradually revealing shadows, her mind began to swirl with chaotic emotions.

“……K-Kim Sungchul-nim?”

“…I almost lost you, Eunbyul-ssi. Where on earth are you wandering around so dangerously in such a state?”

“……”

At Kim Sungchul’s voice, which quietly reached her ears, Eunbyul felt her heart, which had been pounding so much, finally calming down.

It was an embarrassing situation, having her shame revealed to an acquaintance, so she would have to say that even now it wasn’t a very good state compared to a moment ago, but…

Somehow, as soon as Eunbyul saw his face, she felt a deep comfort.
