Chapter Index

    “It’s been four days and there’s still no bite.”

    Jang Il said with a slightly worried look on his face.

    “Haha, just relax and wait. Basically, big fish are not easy to catch.”

    On the other hand, Bang Xiaoyun still had some spare time.

    It seemed like it was because I didn’t think I would be caught from the beginning.

    “If you wait, a response will come. Word of mouth is spreading.”

    “Is that so, master?”

    “That’s right.”

    It was when Bang So-un laughed.

    In an instant, something small and agile crawled into the tent they were in.

    “Oh, they say even tigers will come if I tell them.”

    Bang So-un was pleased.

    This is because something that came in was a black book.

    Jang Il’s expression brightened immediately.

    “You finally caught it! As expected, your prediction is definitely wrong!”

    “Haha, what did I say.”

    Bang Xiaoyun whirled around and placed the black book in his hand.

    The black book immediately opened its mouth.

    Bang So-yun saw that there was a piece of rolled up paper inside and pulled it out with his fingers.

    “Let’s see.”

    “What does it say?”

    “Cotton yarn.”

    “Cotton yarn?”

    “I’m talking about outfit. Mr. Namgoong also has some useful qualities. Anyway, it went well. It’s rare to see a girl wearing a cotton hat, so it’ll be very easy to find.”

    “Hehe, that’s good.”

    Bang Soun woke up.

    “Then let’s get ready too.”

    “Yes, master.”

    The friendly master and servant began preparing to meet special prey.

    ***

    young woman.

    Looking at their attire, it looked like they were definitely members of the unit.

    However, for some reason, I felt weak in my walking.

    A languid gait.

    The woman’s steps were heading towards the leader’s tent.

    The woman stopped in front of the leader’s tent.

    “… … Captain… … .”

    “What’s going on?”

    “… … I have something to tell you… … .”

    “Come in.”

    The woman entered.

    Inside was leader Shin Cho-young.

    Shin Cho-young tilted her head when she saw the woman.

    “Where does it hurt?”

    “… … no… … .”

    “But why does the expression… … .”

    “… … Rather, the owner said that there would be a ‘special performance’ at the next performance… … .”

    Special performance.

    The moment she heard those words, the light of ease disappeared from Shin Cho-young’s face.

    The two eyes became hazy and relaxed.

    The lips spoke in a dazed voice.

    “… … yes… … The pussy bitch received the master’s words clearly… … .”

    “… … There shouldn’t be any disruption… … .”

    “… … yes… … If there is a setback… … .”

    “… … Just to be safe, all pussy bitches must be under hypnosis… … .”

    “… … yes… … All pussy bitches are in a trance… … .”

    “… … All pussy bitches act so that their hypnotic state will never be detected… … .”

    “… … yes… … Act so that you never get caught… … .”

    That moment.

    The expressions of the woman and Shin Cho-young changed.

    With that of normal people.

    If you look closely, you can see that the atmosphere is somehow different from that of normal people, but no one would think of anything strange based on that.

    “Captain.”

    “Uh, tell me.”

    “The master told the four apprentices, whose faces are unknown, to disguise themselves as audience members at the next performance.”

    “Of course, you have to do as you say.”

    Although they only looked similar to normal people, they were not normal.

    Just a puppet in a state of deep hypnosis.

    “Then let’s divide them and put them into hypnosis.”

    “Okay.”

    “Everything goes according to the master’s will.”

    “Everything goes according to the master’s will.”

    The woman and Shin Cho-young went out of the tent.

    ***

    Namgung Hwaran and Hwa Murin.

    They finally arrived at the concert hall.

    At that time, the performance was just getting ready to start.

    “I guess it arrived just right.”

    Namgung Hwa-ran, wearing a cotton thread, said.

    “You’re lucky.”

    Hua Wulin just had a bare face.

    In the first place, she only worked as an escort and her face was not very well known in the Gangho community.

    “Sure.”

    Namgung Hwaran stood in line with a faint smile on her face.

    “It seems like it’s quite popular as I heard. I saw that the line was long.”

    “Yes, lady.”

    They lined up and entered the large tent where the performance was being held.

    ***

    The performance started.

    As rumored, the performance was of an excellent standard.

    There wasn’t a single mistake.

    That alone showed how much effort the members had put into it.

    Namgung Hwaran liked such efforts.

    So her expression seemed satisfied.

    “Kids like it.”

    Hua Wulin softly opened his mouth.

    “Hehe, I guess so.”

    Namgung Hwa-ran smiled lightly, thinking about when she was young.

    “I was busy practicing martial arts since I was young, so I couldn’t enjoy this kind of fun.”

    “It’s a sad story. Enjoy it now.”

    “Of course, lady.”

    It was a good atmosphere.

    It was a bit of a break from busy days, so it was worth it.

    Meanwhile, a new performance was being prepared on stage.

    A woman came out on stage.

    It was Shin Cho-young, the general manager.

    “Hello. My name is Shin Cho-young, the leader of this acrobatic troupe. Although I lack talent, I hope the audience has enjoyed it so far.”

    Clap clap clap!

    Applause erupted.

    There were also people who cheered.

    Shin Cho-young bowed her head deeply and responded to the audience’s response.

    “We sincerely thank the audience for their enthusiastic support.”

    After politely responding, she raised her head again and continued speaking.

    “This performance is a newly prepared performance. So, as the director, I wanted to personally introduce it to the audience, so I came here.”

    Curiosity filled the eyes of the audience.

    I’m interested just because it’s a new performance, but what’s more, the director himself came out to introduce it?

    Of course I would be curious.

    Namgung Hwaran and Hwa Murin’s expressions also showed curiosity.

    “Then let’s begin now.”

    match!

    Shin Cho-young clapped once.

    And soon.

    Something came up on stage.

    Even at a glance, it’s something big.

    that.

    “Bear… ?”

    Namgung Hwaran’s eyes widened.

    “No, what about that… … .”

    Hua Murin’s reaction was also absurd.

    Bear mask.

    Although I have seen lion masks, this was my first time seeing bear masks.

    Do you do a bear dance like a lion dance?

    If that’s true, I’m a bit disappointed.

    It was worth seeing, but I didn’t think it was a performance worth the director himself coming out to introduce.

    “… … The mask is quite elaborate.”

    Namgung Hwaran said while staring at the bear mask.

    “Yes, definitely… … .”

    Hua Wulin also agreed.

    First of all, the skin was different.

    It’s like it’s made from real bear skin.

    Even the physique of the performer suits it perfectly.

    It was clear that a human had entered, but his body was so bulky that it reminded me of a bear.

    There was no shortage of things going up or down.

    “Ohh.”

    “It’s a bear, a bear!”

    “It looks like a real bear.”

    “You put a lot of effort into it?”

    The audience’s reaction was not bad.

    This is because the level of the bear mask was so high.

    As well as a suitable performer.

    This was where Bang So-un’s preparation shined.

    With an abundance of money, he acquired high-quality bear skin and commissioned a craftsman known for his skill to create the bear mask.

    So, far from giving off a whiff of clumsiness, it was as if they had prepared for a real performance, without any shortcomings.

    No, it is true that we prepared for a real performance.

    And that too with all my heart and soul.

    Shin Cho-young opened her mouth again, looking satisfied with the audience’s reaction.

    “Everyone. It may look human at first glance, but it is a bear. It’s definitely a bear.”

    The audience burst into laughter at Shin Cho-young’s joke.

    “Whahaha, a bear is definitely a bear.”

    “Yes, it’s a bear!”

    “What does the bear do now?”

    “Do you even dance?”

    Decent audience response.

    A smiling Shin Cho-young waited for a moment and then spoke.

    “Dance? Isn’t that kind of like dancing? This guy has a more special talent.”

    Special talent?

    The audience waited with curious eyes for the rest of the story.

    Shin Cho-young gave strength to her voice.

    “This is the trick that leads women to a comfortable sleep. Any woman.”

    “Huh?”

    “Comfortable… ?”

    “I think it was called a good night’s sleep.”

    “Good sleep… ?”

    “It seems so unexpected.”

    The audience was filled with absurdity.

    The atmosphere I expected.

    That is why it is necessary.

    A wind catcher who will set the mood.

    Bang So-un knew exactly that, so he prepared a disguised audience in advance.

    “Now, so-called sleeping bear. This is a very special guy that this acrobatic troupe is proud of. I’m going to show off that talent now. But of course I know. I’m sure you’ll think it’s a trivial manipulation. That’s why I want to do this performance with the audience.”

    Shin Cho-young actively came to the front of the stage with a lively step.

    Then he pretended to look around the audience.

    Of course, the target to choose was already decided.

    This was because I knew that even if I chose another target, I would never appear in this atmosphere.

    “Sorry, ladies there.”

    “Me, me?”

    “Yes, please, would you please help with the performance? It will be a memorable time.”

    “Well, that’s… … .”

    “Please.”

    “I’m embarrassed… … .”

    “Oh, I didn’t give you an explanation. If the bear provides you with a good night’s sleep, the bear wins; if not, you win. Today is also the first performance, so if you win, we will refund your entire admission fee. There is no harm, so try with a light heart.”

    Shin Cho-young added.

    “And the admission fee?”

    “Yes.”

    “Let’s go out, go out.”

    “Huh?”

    “Like that person said, you have nothing to lose, right? And I think it would be kind of fun, right? Putting him to sleep? Is that possible? I don’t think I’ll ever sleep.”

    “Is that so?”

    “Yes, yes. Let’s go out.”

    “Ah, okay.”

    An apprentice member and disguised audience member who performs flawlessly.

    Bang So-un knew.

    That will be the starting point of the atmosphere.

    Because the first time is important in everything.

    Jang Il was also grinning in his bear mask.

    Disguised audience members moved onto the stage.

    One person is active and the other is being dragged hesitantly.

    Perfect acting up to that point.

    No one, not even Nangung Hwaran and Hwa Murin, noticed that it was acting.

    “Thank you, ladies.”

    Shin Cho-young said thank you.

    It was the start of a special performance.
