A dark night when everyone should be asleep,

Inside the tent where I and the anonymous person were, hot air was seeping out.

“What do you think?”

“Yes, definitely, ugh, it seems to be getting wider… .”

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with my hand and placed my hand on the nameless body again.

“Ugh, Master, I feel hot inside… .”

“Just hold on for a little longer… If you keep doing that, I’ll have a hard time too.”

Nameless took a deep breath to regain his senses as the hot air surrounding him grew stronger.

“After… .”

“Finally, we’ve reached the end… .”

As if it was too much to bear, Anumyeong grabbed my hand that was on his body and frowned.

“… Master, this is the limit.”

“Oh, hold on a little longer. It’ll be over soon.”

Nameless bit his lips tightly as if trying to endure it somehow, and his body trembled as if in convulsions.

After a while,

I took my hands off the nameless body and collapsed, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

Anonymous also relaxed his body and lay down on the floor, turning his head to look at me.

“Oh my, are you done?”

“… Okay, it’s over. You’ve worked hard.”

I took my hand off the nameless body and patted the nameless head that must have been suffering.

“Would you like to circulate your energy once?”

Myeong took a deep breath, wrapped his body around the energy, and opened his eyes wide in surprise at the amount of energy flowing through his body.

“… Certainly, the amount of mana that can be circulated seems to have increased.”

“Ah, thank goodness.”

He laid down on the floor in the same position he had been sitting in.

It was a success.

I finally finished the process of injecting my energy into the nameless body and forcibly expanding its blood vessels.

I was a bit anxious because I had no experience in expanding the blood vessels of others, but when I saw that Moo-myeong actually achieved results, I smiled.

I raised my head for a moment and looked at the nameless person.

Maybe it was because I didn’t get the feel for it and expanded it a bit too much, but Myeong kept letting out rough breaths.

It was something I had to do at some point anyway, and since I had also expended a lot of concentration, there was nothing I could do other than pat the nameless person on the back for his hard work.

“I’m glad it ended well, now I just need to get used to it.”

But since I experienced it once this time,

In the future, the process of increasing anonymous blood vessels will become easier.

Let’s lie down on the floor and rest for a while,

Myeong took off his sweaty clothes and lightly wiped his body with a towel.

‘Hmm, it would be awkward to sleep like that.’

There must have been a lake near the empty lot where we had pitched our tent.

“Are you going to wash up?”

“Yes, I think it might be difficult for you to sleep in this condition.”

I definitely feel a little uneasy and think I need to wash up.

I glanced at the nameless person.

He smiled mischievously, feeling playful for no reason.

“Um, I sweat a lot too. How are you going to wash with me?”

Of course, I said this as a joke.

If Anmyeong accepts it, then it is not impossible, but even if they are teacher and disciple, it is difficult for them to wash together because their physical sexes are different.

Besides, even if you are anonymous, it is somewhat embarrassing to show your naked body.

Well, if you’re an anonymous person who doesn’t want to look difficult, you’ll probably be rejected.

As expected, Moo-myeong shook his head roughly and avoided my gaze, not wanting to wash together.

The voices heard were as small as a mosquito.

“… I will go after the teacher has washed up.”

Hmm, was that a bit too much of a prank?

The red, barely visible ear of the anonymous man seemed to be very angry.

I didn’t want to hear more nagging, so I quickly grabbed a change of clothes and a towel and headed to the lake.

“I’ll wash up and come back soon, so wait.”

“Yes, you can come slowly.”

“Yeah.”

She took off her clothes and bandages, placed them on a nearby rock, tied up her calf-length hair, and dipped her feet in the lake.

“Hmm, it’s cold.”

I would love to submerge my entire body in the lake, but my hair is so long that it would take a long time to dry.

I suppressed my desires as much as possible and poured water into the bowl I had brought with me and poured it over myself.

“Ugh.”

My body shivered as the cold water suddenly touched it.

By the way.

Why do I feel the presence of an unknown person nearby when he said he wouldn’t come?

Could it be that he changed his mind?

‘It’s difficult.’

As I was tilting my head here and there, thinking about how to return Anonymous, I heard Anonymous’s voice, which sounded anxious.

“I’m sorry, Master, but the groom disappeared while I was washing.”

“What.”

When on earth did the groom disappear?

Perhaps because I was so focused on expanding my blood vessels, I didn’t pay attention to the sounds around me.

He asked again in a lowered voice.

“The groom disappeared?”

“Yes, at first I thought he went to the bathroom for a moment, but he hasn’t come back even after some time has passed.”

So did you run away on purpose?

“What about the carriage?”

“The carriage remains in place.”

Hmm, didn’t he just leave us behind and go first?

I sighed in relief, slowly pulled myself out of the lake, and went to the rock where I had left my clothes.

“Have you looked around the area?”

“Yes, I checked all the safe zones nearby.”

As I wrapped my bandage around my chest, I tried to think of a reason why the groom might have disappeared, but nothing came to mind.

‘Hmm, should I look for it myself?’

He wrapped his clothes around his body and put on a bandage, and approached the tree behind the nameless tree.

The nameless man’s face was slightly red, but he let his nerves go.

“Let’s go to the place where the groom and we were staying.”

“Yes.”

There were no noticeable traces near the tent the groom had set up.

Instead, there are only footprints heading towards the tent, and no footprints where they would have been if he had walked out of the tent.

He suddenly disappeared like a poof. Was he a wizard?

He shook his head slowly.

‘It’s too early to tell.’

The groom opened the tent where he was staying.

Inside the tent, a sleeping bag was spread out, probably for him to sleep in, but it was only half-opened.

There were no other signs of a struggle, and no missing items were found.

I asked the nameless man who was looking around the tent with a serious expression.

“It doesn’t seem like he disappeared of his own free will. What do you think?”

“I think so too.”

“Huh… .”

It literally disappeared without a trace.

I sighed in bewilderment at the sudden turn of events.

How long has it been since I came into the world for something like this to happen?

Since no suitable idea came to my mind to solve the problem, I quietly closed my eyes and spread my energy wider than usual to solve the case as quickly as possible.

“Hmm, I can feel the presence of two people right now… .”

Somehow, the other person’s aura feels familiar.

“2 people? Are you nearby?”

“It’s not that far, I think it’s about a 3-minute drive east.”

I quietly opened my closed eyes and left the tent.

“Is the groom okay?”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

The groom didn’t seem to be in danger at the moment, but the aura he felt from the others was so unpleasant that I didn’t know what would happen if I left him alone.

I took out a wooden sword from the tent we were staying in and looked to the side.

Anonymous was seen frowning as if he was not pleased with the situation.

“Anonymous.”

“Yes, Master.”

I bit my lip for a moment.

“Um, if I told you to wait here, would you refuse?”

“How could I send my teacher alone to a place that might be dangerous?”

As expected, the expected answer came back.

He shook his head and lightly patted the nameless man on the back.

“… Okay, let’s go.”

What I saw upon arrival was definitely someone I had never seen before, unlike the somewhat familiar aura.

It has small horns sprouting from its head that only demons would have, tiny wings on its back, and is wearing skimpy clothing that barely covers its vital organs.

She has a voluptuous body and a captivating smile that goes well with such attire. I’ve never actually seen one, but if there was a succubus, it would look like this.

I glanced back, wondering if maybe it was Mu-myeong who had never seen such a pretty woman before and had fallen head over heels for her.

Hmm, should I say that I’m glad?

There was no change in the anonymous expression.

I felt a bit awkward.

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

The woman with the charming smile greeted us politely, unlike the way she had kidnapped the coachman.

The anonymous man took his position as if protecting me from that woman and opened his mouth.

“Who is it?”

The woman who heard the anonymous question changed her seductive smile into an expression that did not match her expression, then hit her head with one hand and stuck out her tongue.

Indeed, even though a pretty girl did such a stupid thing, she still looked pretty.

“Oh right! I forgot to introduce myself!”

The woman bent down, covering her sternum with one hand.

“I’m Lily, running around hard for the Demon King’s resurrection!”

The woman who introduced herself as Lily straightened her back and smiled seductively again.

“Please take care of me.”
