Anna grabbed the dagger.

Now only a fleeting moment remains.

Time to stop the breathing of the girl looking down.

He is the one who kidnapped and imprisoned Siho, so there is ample reason to kill him.

But she couldn’t bring herself to do that.

At first, he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t kill her.

But Anna soon realized.

Because I somehow felt like Siho wouldn’t want Misha to die.

Given the circumstances, Misha clearly released Siho.

Something changed the mind of this villain, and there was room for reform.

But, will all the evil deeds of a wicked person be forgiven just because he has been rehabilitated?

It definitely won’t work.

Anna herself was a villain and is still known as an unprecedented murderer.

He cannot be forgiven for his actions, and he has no words to say if he is immediately avenged by the victims’ families.

But she was forgiven by Siho.

If I received it myself, why shouldn’t this girl receive it too?

“You give up on life so easily.”

“That way… my sister can live. And to atone for all the things I’ve done so far…”

Just before the girl continued speaking.

Anna held Misha’s cheeks tightly with one hand.

The girl whose cheeks were swollen thanks to this couldn’t say anything.

Anna says with a blank expression, looking at the sight.

“You’re stupid.”

“…”

“Will the pain Siho has felt so far be resolved if you die?”

The moment I heard those words.

Misha’s blue eyes waver.

Even the mark of the clan embedded on the right side.

“I’ll let you live for now.”

“And then I’ll find Siho and give him a choice himself. If he says he can’t forgive you…”

“I’ll kill you properly then.”

Anna slowly stands up from the girl.

And he looked down at her with cold eyes.

Soon, the ranker gripped the dagger tightly.

And then he stared at Misha’s fallen legs.

The girl realized what Anna was about to do to her.

And then he closed his eyes tightly as if he had given up.

A sharp, stabbing sensation in the ankle.

Soon she lost all feeling in her feet.

Because Anna’s dagger cut both the girl’s heels.

“Do you have healing powers too?”

“None…”

“With your feet like that, you won’t be able to keep up. Even if that damn bitch gives orders.”

Anna carelessly threw the dagger, stained with the girl’s blood, onto the floor.

And then he slowly turned his head.

Her silver hair gleams in the dawn air.

Soon Anna headed into the forest with her hair fluttering.

To where the fox is hiding.

Misha blankly watched her disappearing figure.

The girl thinks as she looks at the silhouette running without hesitation.

Anna is like a silver wolf.

Because a wolf treasures its mate more than anyone else.

“—.”

The sun has not yet fully risen.

The forest was completely dyed blue, making it difficult to distinguish objects.

Still, Anna looked around with her cloudy white eyes.

Her naturally animalistic instincts seemed to come alive even more when she came to the forest.

Trampling on the crisp fallen leaves.

As I pushed through the tangled branches.

Before she knew it, she had come so far that she could no longer hear the sound of the burning villa.

There is no longer any smell of burning wood.

But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find Siho.

She was usually a very slow runner and had no stamina.

“Where on earth…”

Anna swept back her flowing bangs.

Her sweat has a faint, soapy scent.

He took a rubber band out of his back pocket.

And she gathered her silver hair into a ponytail.

Is it because the annoying hair is gone?

Anna started running busily again.

Soon she stopped running without hesitation.

As we passed through the dense forest, a wide open meadow came into view.

There, rabbit grass covered in morning dew grew in abundance.

Anna calmly pushes aside the last branches and enters the meadow.

and…

You see a girl sitting on the grass in the distance.

A white T-shirt draped precariously over her exposed thighs.

Healthy hair covered with a T-shirt and…

Animal ears?

Anna squeezed her eyes shut, wondering if she had seen something wrong.

But no matter how much she wrapped and pulled, the girl still had animal ears on her head.

Even…

It even moves as if it were alive.

If it was someone I was seeing for the first time in my life, I would have just passed them by.

But the girl Anna saw was…

It was so similar to Siho.

His hair seems to have grown a lot, but other than that, he’s definitely Siho.

Anna approached her slowly.

But as I was walking, I instinctively stopped walking.

Because the girl who had been quiet suddenly raised her head.

Fortunately, her gaze was not directed at Anna behind her.

What the girl was staring at was a butterfly.

Cabbage white butterfly showing off its pure white wings like Anna.

The fox girl followed suit, moving her head back and forth.

Soon the butterfly landed gently on her ear as if teasing her with such a nickname.

Then Siho slowly began to raise his hands into the air.

And then he quickly snatched his hand away to catch the butterfly.

But unfortunately, her hand could not reach the butterfly.

Then, as if she felt regret, the fox girl smacked her lips.

Then he waved his hands in the air like an animal, following the butterfly.

It almost feels like the figure is that of a child.

And that feeling soon turned into anxiety for Anna.

It is clear that Siho was still young at 21 years old.

But the way she focuses on the butterfly is ridiculous, like a teenage girl.

“—.”

At that sight, Anna took a step forward without realizing it.

Then I ended up stepping on a branch that was on the ground.

The girl’s ears perk up at the crisp sound.

Soon she turns her head and looks at Anna, who was approaching her secretly.

Thanks to that, Anna was able to be confident.

The fox that he had been wondering about was the one he had been searching for so long.

Anna’s face, which had been expressionless until now, changes.

With a warm expression, as if more relieved than anyone else.

“Poem…”

The white-eyed woman called her in a soft voice.

But the fox girl didn’t really react to Anna’s words.

A woman with white hair and white eyes just looks at him with a pure face as if she is curious.

Anna was somewhat shocked by the sight.

I knew something wasn’t right just by looking at the animal ears on its head.

But I had no idea that he might not remember me at all.

“Don’t you know me?”

Anna asked her in a trembling voice.

But the fox girl just tilted her head with her ears pricked up.

The woman approached her little by little with a serious look in her eyes.

Even though I wasn’t in good shape when I was in Chinatown, I didn’t forget myself.

Maybe my physical condition is better than it was then, but mentally it may be worse.

That’s why Anna tried to catch her as quickly as possible.

However, Siho noticed Anna’s intentions and jumped up as she approached.

And then he quickly backed away like a fox.

Very agile, like an animal.

Anna’s eyes light up, having never seen such agility from Siho before.

In the blink of an eye, Siho ran and hid behind a tree.

Soon she was just poking her face out of the tree.

“Who are you?”

“…”

What’s the point of explaining it when you can’t even recognize your own face?

Anna planned to either catch Siho and send him to the hospital, or at least beat him to bring him back to his senses.

“Don’t come near me.”

The eyes of the elongated Shiho sparkle.

She growls in warning, her elongated fangs gnashing.

“Misha told me not to follow anyone I don’t know.”

Anna stopped walking at her firm words.

Seeing Siho up close, his condition looked even more serious than expected.

How can we ease Siho’s guard?

Anna tried to think as best as she could.

Brainwashed, as if she were Misha’s pet.

To solve this, you need to make her think that you are on the same side as her.

Indeed, she, the best killer from the facility, made a decision right away.

And then he took ‘something’ out of his jacket pocket.

Anna gently placed the ‘something’ in her ear.

That’s right…

It was the wolf headband that Siho wore at the amusement park.

“It’s okay, I’m not human. I’m a fox too.”

Anna’s pale skin is tinged with pink.

She was embarrassed by her own farce, but she somehow managed to appeal to herself with a blank expression.

“A fox…?”

“Yeah, I have ears too.”

She pointed to her ear.

Then, Siho slowly revealed his body from the tree.

It seems like Misha has been taking good care of you all this time.

Your skin is good and your body looks healthy.

In some ways, it seems like I’ve gained some weight.

Siho approaches Anna slowly and carefully.

With his chin lifted to get a good look at her face.

But soon he saw Anna’s white eyes and immediately took a step back.

The hairs on her ears stood on end, perhaps because she was scared.

“Even a fox like that won’t do. It’s hiding because we’re playing tag right now.”

“Tag…?”

Anna soon realizes the intention behind the play.

Misha suggested a game of tag to save Shiho.

There was no way that Shiho, in her current state, could understand that she would soon be ordered to kill him, so he forcibly kept her far away.

“I just talked to Misha.”

“Misha? So, are you the one who’s drunk now?”

Siho tilted his head.

Then Anna finally took a deep breath.

“That’s right… I guess so.”

“Then, you’ll have to catch me.”

Soon Siho smiled strangely with his eyes half-closed.

Her elongated eyes stare at Anna teasingly.

“If you catch it, I’ll admit it.”

“Wait a minute…”

Before Anna could even finish speaking.

Siho cut her off and threw herself into the dark forest.

A rustling sound is heard from the forest.

Anna, who was blankly watching the fox running away, smiled faintly.

Who are you running away from now?

Anna fastened her wolf headband tightly to her head so that it would not fall off.

And he muttered alone in a small voice.

“Then, catch it.”

Soon she was bending her knees like a runner.

And it bounced off like a bullet and followed Siho’s footsteps.

I ran through the forest without hesitation.

But no matter how much I run, I can’t easily see Siho’s back.

Clearly, he was a kid who couldn’t do things like running.

Maybe it’s because of those weird animal ears, but I’ve become insanely fast and agile.

Really like a fox.

But no matter how fast he was like a fox, his entire body hadn’t changed that much.

Because she ran barefoot, her traces of passage remain intact.

Eventually, she steadily chased after the fox, thinking that she would definitely catch up if it came to a battle of stamina.

Isn’t consistency the key to hunting?

And Anna’s nickname is Hunter Killer, the one who catches such hunters.

“—.”

After running for a while.

The sound of water can be heard from afar.

And the fox’s footsteps lead towards the sound.

Anna pushes through the branches and reaches the stream where the sound of water comes from.

A waterfall flows by the stream.

And next to the waterfall there is a small cabin.

Anna approaches the cabin quietly, trying to make as little noise as possible.

The loud sound of the waterfall completely drowned out her presence.

Even Shiho with fox ears would definitely not notice.

Anna carefully pulled the cabin doorknob.

And then slowly opened the door.
