Inside a carriage speeding frantically toward its destination.

Contrary to my expectations that it would be noisy with lots of people, the carriage was moving along in silence.

“Um… .”

“““…”””

Of course, given my personality, I may also find it uncomfortable to talk to other people… .

No matter what.

How can it be that several hours have passed since departure and no one has opened their mouth?

‘I’m so embarrassed I could die… .’

I wish someone would at least open my mouth… .

Leaning on the nameless shoulder, he glanced up with a small sense of anticipation and looked at the nameless,

‘Why is this guy doing this…?’

What is this guy so dissatisfied with?

He is staring off into space with his lips pursed and his brows furrowed.

‘What a waste to lose those handsome faces… .’

really.

My eyes, looking at the nameless person, grew cold.

I turned my head to follow the nameless gaze, curious as to what on earth he was looking at me with such a murderous look.

‘Why is that guy doing that again…?’

I saw Lucius staring at me intently, in the same posture as when I first saw him.

There was some kind of madness in those eyes, and my body trembled for no reason.

Well, it might be a little rude to say this in front of the person involved, but… .

That guy, unlike Moo-myeong, looks so sensitive that it’s… extremely burdensome to look at.

I don’t even want to make eye contact with that guy,

He closed his eyes tightly and leaned against the nameless shoulder again.

‘I didn’t see anything.’

I have no intention of interfering with their mysterious actions.

… That’s what I mean, I really don’t intend to ignore it.

If he’s looking at me like that, he must have something he wants to say… .

Wouldn’t it be a little embarrassing to just blatantly ignore it?

But I didn’t want to talk to him, so I wanted to get help from someone else.

… Didn’t you talk to us nicely when we first met before coming here?

If it’s Elia, she’ll definitely help.

I turned my head to look at Elia with eyes filled with anticipation.

‘Why is that girl doing that again…?’

Elia just stared blankly at Lucius with a bewildered expression.

Somehow, seeing the lifeless look in his eyes to the point where I cringe just watching, I think that Lucius did something terribly wrong to Elia…

The two were clearly on good terms before they got into the carriage.

If Lucius did anything wrong, it was after he got on the carriage.

Hmm, but… you didn’t do anything?

I tilted my head here and there and thought about it, but nothing came to mind.

Since even my clear mind can’t think of anything, it seems like there’s no particular reason why Elia acts like that.

Well then, you don’t have to worry.

I let out a small sigh and looked around at the people inside the carriage.

“…”

Anonymous with a furrowed brow, Lucius who had been staring at me from the moment they got on the carriage, and Elia who was looking at Lucius with a bewildered expression.

Every single one of them has a screw missing somewhere.

Is this really okay…?

No matter how positively I try to think, I only get anxious thoughts.

So what am I going to do here?

The best I can do is close my eyes and let them do their nonsense in comfort.

Hmm, right.

He nodded, leaned his head on the nameless shoulder, and closed his eyes.

Anyway, I don’t know.

…

It was a short while before I fell asleep leaning on the nameless shoulder,

I shook my head back and forth at the anonymous hand that tapped my shoulder.

“Master.”

“Eeeek… What is it… Have we arrived already?”

“Yes, the others are getting ready to go down and camp.”

He rubbed his eyes with one hand and looked around at the anonymous words.

Hmm, there really is no one.

He shook his head slightly to clear his mind and stretched out both arms to the anonymous person.

“Master? Why are you doing this?”

“Catch it.”

As if he understood something, Myeong nodded his head slightly and grabbed my outstretched arms, pulling them towards him.

It seemed like he was trying to help me up, but that wasn’t what I wanted.

I bent down and pulled the arm in the opposite direction of the nameless force, toward me.

But if you use too much force, the nameless will completely fall into your hands, so adjust your force appropriately… .

“Ugh, ugh.”

Knock knock knock

“… Master?”

“Keuheu- It’s refreshing.”

Since I had been sleeping in a sitting position, my body felt really stiff.

As soon as I stretched, all that went away and a feeling of relief enveloped my whole body.

With a refreshing smile, I glanced outside the carriage and saw that the sun had already completely set.

… This is difficult, how am I going to sleep later?

I sighed and looked back at Myeong-un, and for some reason my face was red.

“Why are you doing that?”

“… No.”

Nameless turned his head with a whoosh and started to get out of the carriage first.

“Why are you going first again without any affection?”

I also jumped out of the carriage, following the nameless one.

…

When we arrived at the place where we were guided by an anonymous guide, there were already three tents set up.

It seems that while I was asleep, Elia and Lucius set up the tent for me and the nameless person.

…Is that right?

Lucius and Elia are probably lovers, so they’ll probably share the same tent… .

They must have been considerate of me since they knew that I and Anonymous were in a priestly relationship.

I nodded my head in wonder, and then suddenly an idea occurred to me.

Hmm… isn’t it?

If the groom, Lucius, and Elia all sleep apart, it could be a personal pin.

Ugh… .

Rather than worrying about it alone, it would be better to ask.

“Anonymous.”

“Yes, Master.”

He grabbed the nameless man’s sleeve and made him look at me.

“Where are the tents we’re going to use?”

“Yes? Isn’t it installed there?”

The anonymous man pointed to the tent on the far right with his index finger.

Hmm, I guess so… .

It seems like what I initially thought was right.

Well then, I guess I should at least say thank you to the saints.

He nodded and walked straight to Elia.

Elia was tidying up the tent in the center, putting things here and there.

I guess she was so focused on organizing that she didn’t notice me approaching, so I gave her a small cough.

“Ahem, ahem.”

Only after making a sound did Elia notice me and turn to me with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

“Oh, are you awake?”

“Hmm, right.”

I clearly came to say thank you… .

When I actually try to say it, I feel so embarrassed that I can’t open my mouth easily.

Well, my personality isn’t that bad…

As I kept licking my lips in front of Elia, Elia smiled and waved her hand.

“It’s okay, we still have time anyway?”

“… Thank you.”

Just by me mumbling in front of her, Elia could understand what I was trying to say, and that’s how she conveyed her message.

… After that, an awkward silence settled in again.

Hmm, I have nothing more to say… .

The silence in the carriage was really uncomfortable until I fell asleep, but when I actually tried to talk to him directly, I had no idea what to say.

… It’s not that my personality is weird, it’s just that I don’t talk to people for a long time, except for anonymous people.

Besides, unlike Anonymous, isn’t Elia a woman?

If you keep talking to me, you’ll quickly lose interest.

I felt like I had to make excuses for nothing, so I thought to myself.

Yeah, that’s right… I don’t have a problem.

As I was nodding my head in agreement, Elia spoke first.

“Harangnim.”

“Huh?”

“Please bring your luggage to put in the tent and we will help you organize it.”

“My luggage?”

Instead of answering, Elia smiled and nodded.

Hmm, I guess I’ll have to go into the anonymous tent to help organize my luggage, but is Elia okay?

…and I’m not a slacker enough to help Elia unpack.

He shook his head with a somewhat stiff expression.

“You can just ask Anonymous to do it for you. Go ahead and pack your bags.”

“… Yes? Is Mr. Anonymous coming to our tent?”

“? What does that mean?”

Elia and I tilted our heads as if we didn’t understand each other’s words.

Our tent?

I’m sleeping in the same tent as Elia?

why?

When I narrowed my brows and tilted my head in genuine doubt, Elia blushed and continued speaking in a small whisper.

“… Were you thinking of sleeping in the same tent as Anonymous?”

“Then…?”

Elia stared blankly at my questioning expression, and then her face began to turn red as if it was going to burst.

“Wang- How absurd! A man and a woman sleeping in the same place!”

“What on earth is so absurd… Aren’t I and Myeong-un in a master-student relationship… .”

“But, still, you two… .”

Elia began to lick her lips instead of speaking.

Feeling frustrated, I opened my mouth and beat my chest.

“What do you mean, anonymous and I?”

“… I don’t know!”
