“What, what, what, what… !”

A bombshell declaration that almost made you believe your ears came out of Muyoung’s mouth.

It took some time for Yena to understand the meaning of the question.

“You… What are you… !”

Yena huffed with a red face. Tears were about to form in his eyes. This is my first time seeing Yena, who always has a smiling face, so angry…

“Why do you overreact? It’s just a literal question.”

“That… Why are you asking that? !”

“Answer quickly. That’s why I asked because I couldn’t bear it anymore. I want to finish it as quickly as possible.”

“You… You… !”

Yena could no longer speak properly.

Although I am not very quick-witted, I am very aware of the common sense that such questions are rude to people.

Moreover, seeing Yena so angry makes me feel bad too.

However, as if he had sensed my feelings, Muyoung suddenly cast a stern gaze in my direction.

“I’m sorry for causing a fuss. But it’s important, so please excuse me for a moment. I want you to answer quickly.”

“Hu… Huh… ”

Muyoung’s unexplained hardness continued. In the end, it was Yena who gave in. He glanced at me a couple of times for no reason, then lowered his head and answered in a hushed voice.

“Dang… of course… 0 people… !”

“That’s a lie.”

Yena’s words came out with great difficulty, but Muyoung cut them off and refuted them.

“… ”

Yena was silent for a while after hearing Muyoung’s declaration. Then, little by little, his small shoulders began to relax.

“Ah… no… lie… no… ”

The trembling voice was full of resentment.

“No… Ugh… I really… really… !”

Soon Yena returned the way she came and disappeared in an instant beyond the fog.

I followed behind her and tried to grab Yena, but Muyoung grabbed her shoulder and blocked my path.

“Hey. What on earth are you?”

Muyoung just calmly received my sharp words. His expression behind his glasses was full of only relief.

“Leave it alone. You will be able to figure it out on your own. There don’t seem to be any demonic beasts nearby, and if you’re in trouble, they’ll set off red fireworks… ”

“That’s not what I meant. Why are you saying such rude things to my friend? I am much more like Yena than you, whom I met for the first time today. ”

“Looking at what you’re saying, it seems like you really didn’t know anything until now.”

“What is that… ”

“Chief, do you know? The definition of a spiritist is basically a type of wizard with extremely outstanding inspiration.”

“… know. But in the current situation… ”

“Spiritists can work with spirits thanks to the open ‘passage’, but sometimes they develop sensitive senses of certain types or danger signals. And these senses are greatly influenced by the life experiences of the individual spirit master before enlightenment.”

For a moment, I had the urge to beat him up, but the sight of Muyoung continuing his explanation so seriously made me stop.

“I am not a very skilled spiritist, but I and the spirits ministered to me have developed a unique type of inspiration that other spiritists do not have.”

“… ?”

“I have experienced various painful things in the past because of women. Thanks to that, I wandered around for a while. Perhaps because of that past, my body now shows a sensitive rejection reaction when I am near a woman of poor quality.”

“… So what do you want to say?”

What came out of Muyoung’s mouth the next moment were words I had never expected.

“That kid from earlier. She is a woman who has eaten at least dozens of men so far.”

***

“… What?”

“You can take it literally or metaphorically. Did you say Hayena? From the moment you brought that girl in, I was hit with an indescribable headache and bad smell. It was to the point where I couldn’t hold on to the strings of reason.”

Muyoung’s expression from earlier certainly looked like a person suffering from some kind of pain.

“… But I didn’t feel any bad smell or anything… ”

“Of course, it’s a feeling that only I can feel. Why did I bother to use the expression ‘inspiration’?”

“As people live, they may meet and break up with many people… ”

“If it were just like that, I wouldn’t have felt this way in the first place. I told you. It is a sense developed from personal pain. All I can feel is whether or not there is true love. It doesn’t matter how many people you dated or broke up with.”

“… ”

“But earlier… To be honest, I was almost scared. I’ve never felt such a terrible, one-sided feeling before. They are the same age as us, so does that make sense based on common sense?”

Muyoung lightly shook his body as if he really had chills.

“Of course, you can’t accurately judge a person’s past life based on that alone. But I wouldn’t have known if he had been honest, but I was convinced when I saw him blatantly lie and say there were 0 people. I’m saying there’s something wrong with it.”

“… ”

“I still get angry when I think about wasting my precious time because of these bitches. And I think you’ve probably had a similar experience. Maybe that’s why the spirits felt so sorry for you… I think so.”

“… ”

“So I had no choice but to call myself a villain. No matter how I looked at it, you didn’t seem like a bad person. But when I saw him standing next to me with such an innocent face that said he knew nothing, I couldn’t bear it… ”

His crazy eyes were full of faith. Although all of them were full of frivolity, his words still had the persuasive power to attract people.

So, did you really think of me that you kicked Yena out like that? ?

But I can’t imagine that Yena would be such a terrible person…

“… Are you really sure about that feeling?”

“As long as it was verified, there was never a mistake.”

“A verified case?”

“I’m talking about a situation where my feelings were confirmed afterward. Even though it’s only happened a few times so far, it’s 100%… ”

“That’s not certain… !”

“Of course. If you tell everyone that you feel this way, won’t you be treated like a crazy person?”

I forgot what I was going to say for a moment because of his sudden change in attitude and saying something so common sense.

“… ”

“Under certain circumstances, I would not bother to do this to others. But just now… I couldn’t bear it.”

Muyoung finished his transformation like that.

I was troubled for a moment.

I think Muyoung did that out of goodwill toward me, but… However, you cannot blindly believe what he says.

There is a 100% probability only in verified situations. Where in the world can you find such nonsense?

Yena was the first friend I made when I came to the capital… I can’t be swayed by words like that.

Moreover, if Yena were really that kind of person, I don’t think I would have felt that strange closeness to her either…

“… I don’t think you can say that your feelings are always right.”

After thinking about it, I told Muyoung.

“Yena lived in a pioneer village on the border and immediately moved to the capital. Then, based on common sense, there is no way such a life would be possible.”

“It’s clearly a lie… ”

“Stop it now. I’m going to go find Yena. I can’t leave the first friend I made alone in such a dangerous place. I’m sorry, but if Yena is uncomfortable… I think it would be best to stop here. If you’re going to leave, I’ll take you to a safe area… ”

“Ha… I can’t help it. Then I will try to endure it as much as possible. I can’t just leave my leader with such an evil thing and run away without loyalty.”

“… ”

Any further discussion seemed meaningless. Muyoung’s way of thinking seemed very different from mine…

“… okay. Then, when I bring Yena, apologize sincerely. Don’t say the same thing again.”

“… Ugh, I got it.”

Muyoung looked as if he had chewed a slug, but eventually nodded.

I left Muyoung back in the hideout and went out to find Yena. It wasn’t easy to explore the surroundings because the fog was thick everywhere, but if that were the case, Jena wouldn’t have been able to travel far.

-Black… Ugh… Hmm…

As I expected, soon the sound of someone sobbing began to be heard from the hilly area filled with old trees. If someone who didn’t know the situation had heard it, I think it would have been quite creepy.

I walked towards the source of the sobbing. Soon I was able to spot the shadow of a small herbivore sitting behind a large tree trunk.

“Huh… Black… ”

“… Is it Yena?”

When Yena heard me call her name, she stopped crying as if she was startled. Then he muttered helplessly without even looking back.

“… Why did you come… ”

“Why did you come… Of course I came to find it… ”

“Your friend… Sniff… I told you I didn’t like it… ”

“He said he must have misunderstood something. He said he wanted to apologize. And my best friend is you. How could I leave it behind… ”

“Friend… Sniff… ”

Yena got up from her seat, turned around, and walked out.

“I… no… ”

“What’s wrong… ”

“It’s true… I’ve never dated a man since I was born… You know I’m not good at mixing words in the first place… Even in the cradle, I saw that he was only friendly with girls… Ugh… ”

“I believe you. You don’t have to say that… ”

“Really… Ugh… It’s so unfair… ”

“I believe it.”

“… Sniff. really… ?”

“… Of course.”

“… Sniff.”

Although the crying hasn’t completely gone away yet, he still has a much more forward-looking attitude than before.

“Then we’re going back together?”

“… huh… ”

I was eventually able to get an answer of approval. We headed back to the hideout. All the way back, the sad sound of snoring continued to be heard from the back.

Muyoung was waiting for us outside.

“Now, like I said before, apologize quickly.”

“… ”

Muyoung still looked reluctant about something. But in the end, he walked towards Jena and held out his right hand. I stood aside so Jena could receive her apology.

“Whoa, I’m sorry. I think I made a big mistake earlier. I sincerely apologize for my mistake. Would you accept it?”

“… Sniff. I’ll accept it… ”

Yena also seemed to have not let go of her anger yet, but in the end, she held Muyoung’s outstretched hand and accepted his apology.

And it was that moment.

“Wow… ”

“You… You… !”

Muyoung suddenly turned his head to the side and spat out a lot of vomit.
