Chapter Index

    Once the doubts were coiled in my head, they did not go away easily and constantly tormented me.

    “The most important stroke in this formula is… .”

    Even when taking classes.

    “Now!”

    “huh… “Here we go!”

    Even when team members are busy conquering dungeons.

    “Huh… , hey… “What are you thinking now?”

    “uh? “No, what are you thinking?”

    “If you don’t want to fall behind, haha… “Please focus on me♥”

    Even until you have sex that you like so much.

    The size may be different, but no matter what you do, it remains in your mind and interferes with your complete concentration.

    And these thoughts gradually spread into suspicion towards the people around me.

    If the place reserved for us is the Seven Deadly Sins, isn’t Shin Yu-jeong a person worthy of anger (Ira), one of them?

    Isn’t this guy, like me, one of the 504 people?

    The moment the blade of doubt goes towards him.

    “You seem to be in a bad mood today?”

    “… … .”

    What the guy said after going into the bathroom to wipe off the sweat all over his body came as a shock.

    Until now, while having sex with this body, I have never heard anything other than good… .

    As I unconsciously became glum, the guy approached me with a puzzled expression.

    “Hey, hey… “I’m not saying I wasn’t satisfied, but I think you were a little unfocused. That’s what I was saying.”

    At the same time, against the flow of gravity, he presses his firm breasts.

    “Go, do you want to touch my breasts? Or do you want to bury your face here?”

    “… “I want to do both.”

    What a year.

    You can’t believe you’re using the first and second best actions to lighten a man’s mood at the same time.

    Burying my face in my bouncy chest, like a tube filled with air, makes me feel a little more at peace.

    “Are you feeling better now?”

    “huh.”

    “I really… , not a child.”

    Shin Yu-jeong comforts me by stroking the back of my head with her soft hands.

    Unlike usual, there was a faint maternal love in her tone of voice.

    I stretch out my arms and hug the guy’s lean back and bury my face even deeper, to the point where it becomes a little difficult to breathe.

    And then he arbitrarily redirects the suspicion he raised arbitrarily.

    okay.

    Shin Yu-jeong can’t do that.

    Above all, I already know what his characteristics are, right?

    As I erase the doubts that have filled my mind with calm thoughts, one by one.

    “hey.”

    The guy started talking to me.

    “You… “Do you have any concerns?”

    “Do you see it there?”

    “No, well… Because his expression looks stiffer than usual… , I was wondering if something was going on. And again… .”

    “also?”

    I followed his last words and slightly lifted my head from my chest to look at his face.

    A slightly red face, as if feeling embarrassed.

    “what… “If there are such things, it might be helpful to tell them about them.”

    “… … .”

    I’m saying it helps, I’m saying it’s not helpful.

    The words he spoke were very vague, but they conveyed his heart.

    In short, I’m worried that I look worried, isn’t it?

    This touches people in unexpected places.

    “What are you worried about…?” “There is nothing like that.”

    “If that’s the case, I’m glad. what… “Tell me if something happens later?”

    “okay.”

    Actually there is.

    Worries are the biggest culprit that plagues my mind.

    It is none other than my future.

    If my hypothesis is correct, if you continue like this until the end, you will be given one of the seven deadly sins.

    Among them, there is probably a high probability of obtaining greed.

    Let alone why a person of integrity like me ended up with something like greed.

    okay.

    These are the seven deadly sins and nothing else.

    One of the seven criminogenic emotions that Christ identifies as the source of sin.

    Am I really going for that?

    What happens to me after I get it?

    My whole body cringed at the incredibly scary reward.

    However, this is a story when my hypothesis was completely correct.

    He traces the arm that tightly hugs Shin Yu-jeong’s back and touches the bracelet on her wrist.

    Two beads rattling in one’s grasp.

    As this was placed on my wrist, two different voices spoke.

    Accumulate karma.

    Unlike back then, when I had no idea, the words sound very ambiguous now.

    If the ultimate goal of a ‘those with qualities’ is the Seven Deadly Sins, shouldn’t they have been told to accumulate bad karma rather than simple karma?

    Here another hypothesis arises.

    If there is room for good karma to intervene in the process of accumulating karma, wouldn’t it mean that there is room for something other than the Seven Deadly Sins to intervene at the end of the path that 504 people, including me, are taking?

    “Oh, my head hurts.”

    My head is pounding from the constant worries.

    I wish I could just bury myself in my chest and feel the skin of women.

    “Seueueup.”

    “Tsk… Wow, it tickles.”

    As I take a deep breath through my nose, a fragrant smell wafts out.

    Smells like the same body wash I use.

    A strange scent mixed in there.

    My eyelids gradually become heavy as I am intoxicated by the scent that relaxes my mind and body.

    I feel like I can sleep comfortably for the first time in a long time.

    A thought suddenly appears in my consciousness, blinking like a streetlight in front of an alley.

    If what you mean by ‘one with qualities’ is the Seven Deadly Sins or something similar… .

    “Seoyeon… , why… ?”

    What qualities does my daughter have to be invited to this dangerous game?

    “Hey, why does Seoyeon’s name suddenly appear? uh? You bastard, why are you coming out? “Aren’t you going to answer?”

    I fell asleep.

    * * *

    The black market I visited again after two weeks was not much different from the last time.

    Except for one thing.

    In front of the huge door leading to the upper floor.

    On the terminal that opens the door, there is a phrase written on it that I have never seen before.

    “The pass issued as of December 12th has expired.”

    “For future visitors, please press the call button and receive a reissue of a pass through the manager’s guidance.”

    “hmm.”

    Reissue of pass.

    Just in case, I put my hand on the terminal and found that the magic wave had changed slightly.

    It seems like what they want is to either screen out intruders by reissuing passes or block the passage itself.

    “That won’t work.”

    5 seconds is enough.

    To find and copy the newly added magic wave length inside the terminal.

    If you do this, you will be able to pass without any problems next time.

    Unless they suddenly put up a guard.

    “hmm… “You should prepare for that too.”

    Next time I have to go to the upper floors, I’ll pick a guy who looks reasonably stupid and steal a pass.

    Then, if you make a copy that looks good and carry it around, you will be able to enter without being noticed even if a guard is set up next to the terminal.

    All you have to do is engrave it yourself every time the wavelength changes.

    “I’ll do that later.”

    There is no need to do it now.

    It seems unlikely that guards will be erected unless another accident occurs.

    If something happens again in the upper floors, it won’t be too late.

    After organizing my thoughts, I turn around without regret.

    The purpose of visiting the black market today is to find items requested from the ‘Witch’s Jar’.

    “Hol hole… “You’re here.”

    As I entered the store, an old woman greeted me as if I had been waiting for her.

    I smile along and say hello to her.

    “You’ve been fine so far, Grandma?”

    “Yes… “What could happen to this squat old woman?”

    well.

    Even though it looks like that on the outside, it doesn’t seem like it on the inside.

    The shape of the magical power it emits seems far removed from that of a grandmother.

    You can’t tell age by shape alone, but… , At least it doesn’t seem like she’s a grandmother.

    Seup, I’m curious.

    Is it pretty?

    “Why are you staring so hard at my old grandmother’s face?”

    “Oh, I’m sorry. “I thought you must have been pretty when you were young.”

    An excuse hastily thrown out in response to the old woman’s question as she felt her explicit gaze.

    Although it was a hasty statement to cover up, it wasn’t just a lie.

    It’s hard to guess because the wrinkles are so deep… , If you look at the outline of the face and the eyes, it seems that at least he is not ugly.

    As if those words were quite pleasing, a faint smile appeared on the old woman’s lips.

    “Hol hole… ! Even if I flatter you, I have nothing more to offer, Yonseok.”

    “I didn’t mean to get anything more.”

    The old woman glances at me as if I were a strange person, then turns and walks inside.

    When she started walking towards me again, there was a small pouch in her hand.

    “You came to look for the elixir, right?”

    “yes.”

    “Here, take it.”

    Take the leather pouch handed out by the old woman, loosen the tightly tied string, and slightly open the entrance.

    Then, the strong scent of medicinal herbs and clear stems of magical energy rose up in an instant.

    Seven brown pills the size of a thumb and one gold pill a little larger.

    The increased amount of magical power compared to what I had with the flower petals makes me satisfied.

    “Thank you, Grandma. “It’s rewarding to come all the way from afar to entrust a request.”

    “Hol-hol, I told you so. “This old woman is the best at making elixirs.”

    know.

    That’s why I went out of my way to find you, even giving Son Si-woo’s name.

    “But… “Are you going to feed all of those elixirs to your colleagues?”

    “that’s right.”

    Actually, I thought about taking one or two of them myself, but when I saw the elixir, I made up my mind.

    “An elixir like this doesn’t have much effect on me.”

    It might be an elixir made using all the petals from one hundred-year evening primrose.

    The elixir made one by one won’t go anywhere.

    “It seems like you have a lot of faith in your colleagues. “Seeing as they give away all of that expensive elixir.”

    “what… , Yes?”

    Even though the elixir may not bring much benefit to me, its value does not change.

    But money doesn’t give me much inspiration.

    Money is something you can earn as much as you want, right?

    To put it bluntly, these days, countless offers are pouring in for photo shoots, commercials, TV appearances, etc., so if you’re short on money, just pick a few and shoot them and you’ll be able to make hundreds of millions in no time.

    Then she asked.

    “Don’t you think your colleagues will betray you?”

    It’s betrayal.

    “Not at all.”

    I don’t know about other teams, but our team can’t do that.

    Shin Yu-jeong and Lim Na-eun are already mine, and Elena is also… , after all, they are lovers.

    And Seoyeon… , I’m a daughter, and I’m not the kind of person who would stab anyone in the back, regardless of their past.

    The old woman’s eyes widen slightly at the answer she gave without hesitation.

    If you didn’t know how our team’s relationships are structured, you wouldn’t be surprised.

    “Anyway, I’ll use this well. “Next time, if you have good ingredients, please be kind to me as well.”

    The old woman, who suddenly came to her senses after hearing the thanks, waves her hand.

    “Hol hole… , feel free to come anytime. “Any amount of valuable material is welcome.”

    “Yes, I will.”

    After exchanging greetings, we were about to leave.

    “Oh, and.”

    The old woman’s voice stops me in my tracks.

    “I have a favor to ask of you. If you have time, would you please come visit Grandma?”

    “… “Please?”

    My eyes widened slightly as I looked at her.

    Although we have done business several times since Son Si-woo’s time, the gentleman who has never said the word ‘favor’ suddenly asks us for a favor.

    “okay. “Grandma will provide generous compensation, so come visit us when you have time.”

    Are you trying to ask me a favor?

    I was curious about the contents, but I didn’t think they would tell me now.

    If you ask me to come back later, I guess that means they also need time to prepare.

    “Isn’t there a specific time limit for coming here or something like that?”

    “Umm… “If possible, it would be better this year or next year.”

    Even so, there are only a few days left in the year.

    what… , I guess that means don’t come over so early.

    “Then I’ll see you sometime next year.”

    “Yes, go ahead.”

    After a short greeting, I leave the store straight away.

    Hang in there, my chicks.

    I’ll upgrade your specs!

    * * *

    Again and again

    Clear, angry footsteps echoing through the hallway.

    Finally, the woman who reached the end, Jeong Si-ah, stretched out her arms and opened the door wide.

    The space she opened was none other than the guild leader’s office.

    There, Son Si-woo, who was looking down at the payment documents with his chinless head, frowned as he saw Jeong Si-ah coming towards him with startled eyes at the sudden commotion.

    ‘Is this starting again?’

    It happened often.

    I don’t know why, but he criticizes me as a fake and scolds me.

    ‘It’s not a very bad feeling.’

    At first, my heart sank, but now I am enjoying it in its own way.

    Perhaps because she is a middle school student who believes she is a princess, people do not believe her words.

    To be precise, I should say that although I am respected, I am still treated like a child.

    ‘But as far as the face and body are concerned, it’s not like a kid.’

    Aside from that treatment, her appearance was very nice.

    Shiny black hair that looks like it was cut from black silk.

    Fresh eyes reminiscent of a prim cat and an arrogant gaze that seems to look down on the other person.

    From a small, sharp nose to cherry-like lips.

    I feel like this would be exactly what would happen if a cat that behaves like a scoundrel to its owner turns into a human.

    For example, it means an amazing beauty.

    Selling such a beauty?

    ‘Oh wow… .’

    Isn’t that truly heartbreaking?

    Hiding these feelings, he greeted her with a cold attitude.

    “what’s the matter? “I’m a little busy right now.”

    Usually, when you talk like this, the other person gets angry and yells.

    ‘If you dare to greet the princess you saw with that kind of expression, do you really want to be punished?’ You should hear the same answer.

    Today she was different.

    “Ho… “Did you say you were busy?”

    The ends of the words rise, but the corners of the mouth do not rise at all.

    Jeong Si-ah comes closer with an expressionless face.

    “In that case, I guess I should just talk about the main point without further ado.”

    Just as the tension is slowly rising due to a strong pressure that I don’t know for some reason.

    She approaches the desk and raises her arms.

    Quang!

    The raised arm hit the desk violently.

    “… … !”

    Son Si-woo is startled.

    The fact that he didn’t make a sound is proof that he has grown up to the point of snot.

    Her astonished, rabbit-like eyes turn to the bottom of her palm, which hit the desk.

    There was a white envelope lying there.

    When she removed her hand, the hidden letters were revealed.

    “Resignation letter… ?”

    That was clearly written on the envelope.

    When Si-woo Son looked up at Si-a Jeong, who was standing in front of the desk with an expression of not understanding, she answered.

    “This princess will be leaving the guild as of today!”
