Chapter Index

    A pitch-black corridor.

    Rain, who was standing above him, couldn’t help but tremble with a sad expression on his face.

    With Shine and Amy, who had been following behind her, gone, there was no one left to protect Lane.

    Rain was afraid of the eerie atmosphere this hallway created.

    Gulp-

    Rain swallowed dryly and spoke carefully in a small voice.

    “Uh, Uh…”

    The sound of flying towards a hole.

    But there was no answer.

    Rain decided to be a little more courageous and shouted louder.

    “Sha, Shine! Amy!”

    This time too, there was no answer.

    Rain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned around.

    Since you’ve come this far, if you go back the way you came, you’ll find Amy and Shine.

    Rain thought so.

    “Are you all kidding me?”

    It wasn’t a situation where she could joke around, but Rain begged desperately.

    Please, please, when I go back, I hope I find Shine and Amy.

    Rain begged and begged again, and began to turn back the way he had come.

    Only the sound of Lane’s footsteps walking down the wide hallway filled the surroundings.

    Thump thump – the thump of the pretty boots began to get faster as time passed.

    Rain started running without realizing it, and she thought as she ran.

    It was strange.

    It was really weird.

    If you go back the way you came, you should see a large staircase.

    Since he had come up through there, Lane intended to go down the stairs.

    But no matter how much I ran, I couldn’t see the stairs.

    It felt as if the very structure of the building had changed.

    “Heee…”

    Rain, who had thought that far, stopped, feeling goosebumps rising up.

    Now, I was so scared that I couldn’t even move.

    “Je, Jeff… Shine… Amy…”

    Rain muttered weakly.

    But her voice reached no one.

    How much time has passed like that?

    Rain eventually had no choice but to sigh and move.

    First, I had to walk.

    It’s not like I can just sit here and do nothing.

    I don’t know.

    If you walk like this, you might meet Jeff, who was kidnapped here.

    As Rain was walking down the street, he could see movement at the end of the hallway.

    In the hallway that had been painted black, a human-like figure began to approach, moving slowly.

    It was too far away to be exact, but it was a person.

    Lane smiled slightly and started running towards what appeared to be a human figure.

    Knock knock knock-

    Rain’s short legs moved diligently, making cute footsteps.

    The person walking at the end of the hallway was Khan.

    Rain stopped with his mouth open in a daze as he walked towards her, his large muscles twitching as if his neck was sore.

    Rain thought.

    big.

    He is a very large person.

    And so, Rain and Khan’s gazes met in the air.

    Khan was nervous at the sight of Rain.

    Just now, I had been hit by an unidentified kid and was blown very far away.

    For him, who took a considerable amount of time to return, another unidentified kid was enough to be a target of caution.

    A strange tension flows between the two.

    Khan sighed.

    I couldn’t tell what the situation was, but most of the people guarding the Black Palace had been thrown out.

    That means that the little boy in front of him right now is not unrelated to this incident.

    And in the first place, it didn’t make sense for unauthorized people to be walking around inside the Black Palace.

    Khan immediately began preparing to fight.

    As if responding to his will, his muscles swelled greatly and hot heat began to surge from within.

    One letdown was enough.

    Khan’s eyes began to sink deeply and shine sharply.

    Rain reacted to the sight of Khan’s enemies.

    The blank expression on his face disappeared, and he immediately began preparing to fight.

    Rain’s skin turned red and began to emit white steam.

    Immediately after that, with a “paang-!” sound, Rain’s body flew backwards.

    Rain was hit by his opponent’s attack without even being able to react.

    The pain comes late, and Rain’s small body falls to the floor and rolls around.

    It was unbelievable, but it had already happened.

    Rain sat up, groaning.

    It seemed like the impact of a single punch caused a mild concussion.

    “Ugh…”

    The moment he got up from his seat with a groan, Rain opened his mouth as he saw a large shadow approaching him.

    “Where did you come from?”

    “Mu, to the door…”

    “Question?”

    Khan frowned at Rain’s answer.

    Is it true that you came in through the door?

    The door, the door of this black palace, did not open at any time.

    Even among the nobles, only those with permission can open the gates of the Black Palace.

    If what this little boy said was true, it was clear that Khan himself was making a huge mistake.

    A cold sweat began to run down Khan’s back.

    Something similar has happened before.

    If Kelly found out about this, it was clear that it wouldn’t end with a simple nagging.

    At that moment, Khan could recall what Kelly had said.

    That he called in people from other families to open the head of a girl named Jeff and check her memories.

    The puzzle was coming together in Khan’s head.

    I see

    The unidentified white-haired kid I met earlier, the one who had sent me flying was that nobleman.

    Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to blow yourself away so easily.

    Khan nodded to his reasoning.

    Rain, who had no idea what Khan was thinking, straightened up his staggering body and raised his abilities again.

    I stretch my hands out in front of me, stepping on the empty floor.

    A stream of water formed beneath Rain’s feet and began to swirl violently, wrapping around her body.

    “I think I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

    Rain wiggled his eyebrows at Khan’s words.

    Because I couldn’t understand what the other person was saying.

    However, Rain was not oblivious.

    The other person was misunderstanding.

    I don’t know what the misunderstanding was, but I felt that the hostility had disappeared.

    Rain put his hand down, knowing that he would not attack any more.

    But the ability was not released.

    Rain’s eyes were narrowed and he moved cautiously, looking like a child who had been hit and thrown off.

    Is that why?

    Khan became almost certain that he had been mistaken.

    Silence fell between the two.

    Khan was frustrated.

    The kid looked like he was really pissed after getting hit once.

    It seemed as if there was no broad tolerance as a nobleman.

    He had already admitted his mistake and apologized, but the other person seemed unsatisfied.

    Khan let out a big sigh.

    This situation was not pleasant for him, who did not like children very much.

    Somewhere, a place was needed to leave this little guy.

    Rain was so frustrated that he thought he might die.

    It was clear that the other person was misunderstanding, but I couldn’t open my mouth hastily.

    Still, there wasn’t enough information.

    It was a situation where more information was needed to determine what misunderstanding he was having.

    “Where did the adults who came with us go?”

    Rain shook his head at Khan’s question.

    Only then did Khan nod.

    Looks like you’re lost.

    Although Khan had been staying in the Black Palace for a long time, he often got lost, so it was not strange for this little boy to get lost as well.

    “Follow me.”

    Khan turned around and started walking.

    After walking for a while like that, he looked back and checked Rain.

    It was an action to check if he was following along well, but Rain just stood there and didn’t move.

    “Aren’t you going?”

    Rain’s small head began to spin rapidly.

    She thought.

    The other party was misunderstanding.

    It might be safe now, but the moment this misunderstanding was resolved, it was clear that his arms and legs would be crushed like pork cutlets by that huge fist.

    But it was a situation where I couldn’t not follow.

    Once again, as I was walking down the hallway like Mia, and meeting an unidentified person, there was no guarantee that it would end like this.

    Eventually, Lane clung to the wall and began to cautiously follow Khan.

    Rain didn’t know that each and every one of those appearances was blowing away all of Khan’s doubts.

    As Khan walked down the hallway with Rain for a while, he smiled slightly as he thought about where he could kick this brat out.

    Since they seem to be similar in height, I thought they would play well on their own if I just put them in the room with Lily.

    And Jeff was with Lily too.

    Anyway, they are the people from the family who were called to open Jeff’s head.

    If I just throw this kid there, he’ll probably meet some of the people from that clan someday, so it doesn’t seem like a good idea.

    So Khan headed to Lily’s room.

    Walk down the long hallway and go up the stairs.

    Rain followed Khan, mumbling.

    Where on earth are you going?

    Lane, unaware that she was getting closer to Jeff, moved cautiously and stealthily with a worried expression on her face.

    Khan, who had been walking for a while, stopped in front of a large door.

    Just beyond this door, you’ll find Lily and Jeff.

    No, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t there.

    If I just threw it in this room, it was sure to come back someday.

    Khan reached out to Lane, who was hesitating behind him.

    At that large hand, Rain flinched and tried to run away backwards, but the attempt ended in failure.

    Khan opened the door wide and lightly tossed the rain in his hand inside.

    Bung- Rain’s floating body spun around and landed safely on the ground.

    Khan confirmed the sight and closed the door.

    “Rain?”

    Rain sat down in his seat, startled by the voice coming from behind him.

    I was so surprised that my legs gave out.

    The voice of the person I was looking for came from an unexpected place.

    Lane swallowed hard and turned around.

    There, Jeff, whom she had been desperately looking for, was looking at her, holding a large bag in his arms.

    ***

    I was dumbfounded by Rain’s sudden appearance.

    Rain, huh?

    An unexpected opponent suddenly appeared from an unexpected place.

    At first, the tension that had been building up as soon as I opened the door and realized that the person coming in was Khan disappeared in an instant.

    Rain was also blinking as if he couldn’t believe this situation.

    How on earth did Rain get here?

    “Jeff, do you know anyone?”

    Lily stood guard in front of me, as if wary of a stranger’s appearance, and asked me.

    I nodded.

    “Jeff!”

    Rain, who was sitting on the floor, started to sob, then jumped up and ran towards me.

    Tadadadak, his short legs moved quickly, and he opened both arms to see Rain floating in the air.

    Lily stepped back in embarrassment at the sight of Rain being held in her arms so naturally.
