“What…”

“Why, why here…”

Everyone was scared when they saw the ugly men occupying the area around the motel and were avoiding them.

Even though the roads and streets were almost completely blocked, the police never showed up.

Once again, I realized that the background of this world was cyberpunk.

Hornet, standing in the center, was frowning while smoothing his short hair.

I took a picture of it with my cell phone.

“The picture quality is good, so I enjoy taking pictures.”

I felt like I knew a little bit about why women take selfies.

Photography was a very addictive activity.

Because you can always retrieve memories or moments you want to revisit.

“Why are you taking pictures like that?”

Sian frowned and glared at the gangsters.

There were no gangs within her walls anymore.

Sian truly hated gangs.

“I just thought it would be good to use it as a photo for an article later.”

“Ah… I was a reporter.”

Sian smiled as if he had finally remembered.

I guess it’s because I haven’t acted like a reporter.

I understand that too.

What should I say more than a reporter?

A contractor was more suitable.

Entrapment, kidnapping, and even threats.

What kind of reporter is this?

It was no different from a gang.

“I would have brought a ledger too.”

“Hmph, that’s good. If that ledger is discovered, it’s the end of Hornet.”

It wasn’t the way I looked at my ex-boyfriend.

The eyes of a woman were full of hatred.

In fact, it seemed to be stronger than the gaze looking at Yuri.

Did he feel more betrayed by Hornet than by Yuri during the past incident?

I looked at Xian’s profile and decided to move slowly.

“Let’s go soon.”

I didn’t want to see them blocking the streets forever and making people uncomfortable.

Then suddenly, Sian grabbed my collar.

“Are you okay? There are a lot of people…”

“Huh?”

I looked at the gangs that had taken over the street outside.

Is it a lot?

No, it seemed like they were in a hurry so they couldn’t bring that many gangs with them.

Still, Sian was worried about me.

“Although their personalities and actions are odd, Viper is a famous gang in its own way. It might be a little dangerous…”

I see.

Sian had never seen me fight properly.

If it were Yuri, you wouldn’t be worried about me.

“It’s okay.”

“…Umm…”

Sian looked a little uncomfortable, but when I asked him to trust me and took a pose that seemed to show off his biceps, he smiled and nodded.

Sian stared at my body.

“…Put your hand on my shoulder. Wearing a bit loose clothes… Andㅡ”

Then, I started correcting my posture one by one.

They said that first impressions are important when making an appearance, so they adjusted it a little.

Eventually, an image that seemed to have been seen somewhere before was completed.

This was the image of a complete bully and a woman who was attacked by such a bully.

“Wouldn’t Hornet be embarrassed if he appeared like this?”

That’s right.

What if you come to rescue your current girlfriend from a kidnapper, but your ex-girlfriend appears along with you?

That alone will be surprising enough.

I’d be even more surprised if it was a bully.

The two of us looked at each other, nodded, and slowly headed towards the guys.

“Tongue, brother! excuse me! It comes out over there!”

“I finally crawled outㅡ”

A man who appeared to be Hornet’s subordinate shouted, pointing at us, and Hornet slowly turned around.

He was so frowning that a deep valley formed in the middle of his forehead, but his expression immediately relaxed when he saw Xian next to me.

He made eye contact with Xian and stood motionless, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

“…cyan?”

Xian, whose name was called by Hornet, showed a blatant disapproval and snuggled into my arms.

Then, Hornet’s expression distorted.

It seemed like he was going to rush in at any moment.

“What is your relationship with Sian?”

“Whatever it is. What does it matter…”

When Hornet set the mood and spoke as if he was shooting at me, Sian answered for me.

Hornet’s men and I couldn’t help but chuckle at that bold answer.

“Are you smiling?”

When Hornet gritted his teeth and glared at his subordinates who were smiling, the subordinates scratched the backs of their heads in embarrassment.

I followed the example and added a word.

“Let’s not worry about our relationship and just make a deal.”

While saying that, he hugged Xian.

“This bastard…”

Even though they broke up after he left, Hornet’s expression became distorted every time he did that, as if he still had feelings for Sian.

Sian also knew this, so she clung to me with an even more bewitching expression.

Hornet’s shoulders were shaking.

You must be very angry.

“…Yuri, where is Yuri?”

I shook my phone.

Of course it was Yuri’s cell phone.

“It’s in there, exchange it for the ledger.”

“…How can I trust you?”

“I don’t trust you either.”

“…”

At my words, Hornet glared at me and threw the ledger towards me.

I lightly grabbed the ledger and threw my cell phone.

Suddenly.

We both accepted what the other gave us.

Yuri’s cell phone was now with Hornet, and Hornet’s ledger was now in my hands.

I opened the ledger and lightly read its contents.

“You did a lot.”

There was evidence here that the organization’s money had been secretly stolen.

But something was lacking.

Should I say this is the core content?

The largest units of transactions felt like they were missing.

“What is this…”

Suddenly, Hornet, who was checking his cell phone, made a noise and moved his hand as if he was embarrassed.

While I was looking at the ledger, he was looking at his phone everywhere to find out Yuri’s whereabouts.

It seemed like he had finally checked the gallery.

“…hehe…”

He was breathing hard and couldn’t take his eyes off the gallery.

I could feel the hot snort up to here.

‘…Look at this?’

To be honest, I thought he would immediately attack me with anger or at least throw curses at me, but his reaction was strange.

I could hardly take my eyes off the photo.

He was even muttering in a low voice.

“Yuri has this kind of expression…”

[Castle: GFRIEND, NTR]

Hornet looked mesmerized as he looked at the photo.

You probably don’t even know it.

That something that should not have been added to the castle wall was added.

It worked out better.

If you do this, you will be able to make a deal.

I let go of my shoulder with Sian and slowly approached Hornet alone.

The subordinates around Hornet saw me like that and became wary.

The hornet was so absorbed in the photo that it didn’t seem to even notice that I had come close.

When I looked at the particular photo for a long time, I found that it was a photo of Yuri lying on the bed with a disheveled expression.

This was a photo I took just before I came here.

“Do you like that photo?”

“…What bullshit! Oh my…”

When I spoke to Hornet with a subtle smile, I was so surprised that I turned off the photo.

I tried to hide it later, but it was already too late.

Everything was already visible to my eyes.

The excited face and the changed castle walls.

I whispered so softly that only Hornet could hear.

“If you want, I can give you more photos like this.”

“…I am Yuri’s boyfriend. There is no need for pictures like this.”

“It seems like Yuri has already lost her mind?”

At those words, Hornet opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

“Well, that can’t be happening. Yuri is me…”

“Look at the photo, what is Yuri’s expression like?”

“…”

Hornet slowly put the phone back on and looked at it.

In the photo, Yuri was looking up at the camera with dreamy eyes.

There was no feeling of compulsion there.

There was even a little affection mixed in.

“No…”

“That’s why I should have given up on things like ledgers.”

At my words, Hornet covered his head with his hands.

In fact, he probably knew it himself.

Even while Yuri and I were talking on the phone, Yuri’s voice became colder in real time.

My eyes grew fonder when I looked at the photo.

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Yuri carefully.”

“…what…”

“I will tell you not to break up with me. Because I like it that way.”

“What…?”

Hornet looked at me with a shocked expression.

It wasn’t anger.

He was looking at me like he was really scared.

It wasn’t important whether Yuri’s choice could really change with just one word from me.

Originally, the more shameless the lie, the better it worked.

The truth of what I just said was that I really liked it that way.

Stealing someone else’s woman.

That taste wasn’t a lie.

“Why don’t you take a video next time?”

Hornet’s eyes began to flutter at the words I spoke lightly.

It’s almost over.

I glanced at Xian and said.

“Not only glass, but also blueprints are available.”

“…”

Hornet’s tightly closed lips slowly opened at my words.

“…What do you want?”

“First, fill in the missing spaces in this ledger.”

“…and?”

As if he had expected this much, he quickly asked about the next conditions.

“Bring the Nobody company’s secret ledger as well.”

“How can I do that…!”

“I’ll tell you who might have it. After that, just bring it yourself. how is it? Are you going to do it?”

Hornet’s gaze turned to me, then to Xian, and finally to the cell phone.

The photo of Yuri on the phone was still stark and beautiful.

“…I will do it.”

To be honest, I even checked out Nobody’s ledgers just in case.

I never thought I would say I was really doing it.

“Good.”

Hornet and I held hands, and Sian supported my hand and wiped it with his clothes.

You really hate hornets.

And exactly three days later.

Hornet brought both ledgers, and I was able to write an article based on the ledgers and complete three hidden quests at the same time.
