I introduced Lily and Lane to each other.

These girls, whose average height was no more than 140 cm, glared at each other and growled.

I just let out an awkward laugh at the sight of the two puppy-like girls, as if they were wary of strangers they were seeing for the first time.

“Hey. Rain. Shine and Mom?”

If Rain had come here, she wouldn’t have come alone.

Rain answered as if my prediction was correct.

“We were together until just now…”

“Were you together?”

“It’s gone.”

“It disappeared?”

“Yeah. Just then. I was walking down the hallway, and all of a sudden, they all disappeared without a trace.”

Lane waved both arms wildly and complained about his grievances.

He even added that he was never missing there.

In the end, of all the people who came here looking for me, it was Rain who found me first, so it was Amy and Shine who got lost.

“Sniff sniff.”

“Over there…”

“Sniff sniff.”

Rain suddenly circled around me, checking the smell.

I touched my slightly flushed cheek and looked at Lily’s expression.

Lily looked at Rain in surprise.

I hope Rain doesn’t influence this innocent girl…

“Why are you checking there!”

I was startled by Rain’s sudden action of lifting the hem of her one-piece skirt, and I held her small head tightly.

Rain checked the smell while still moving.

Very persistently.

“Okay!”

What’s so good about it?

Rain, who had confirmed my scent, nodded and sat up.

She looked very satisfied.

“What on earth were you doing? Is that the greeting method of the lower-level people?”

To Lily’s absurd question, Lane nodded with a confident expression.

I shook my head urgently next to him.

There was absolutely no such greeting.

It’s just that Rain is special.

“No way!”

“Oh, is that so… But I somehow envied them because they seemed so close…”

Lily muttered, seeming unimpressed by my answer.

Then, after carefully observing my expression, he bent down and began to sniff around, just like Rain had done earlier.

“Sniff sniff.”

The act of a cute girl trying to smell under my skirt was enough to embarrass me.

I shook my head with a determined expression, holding Lily’s shoulder.

“Lee, Lily. If you do this, Kelly will be sad.”

“Oh, your mother?”

Yes, that’s right.

If anyone had seen this behavior, no, if Kelly had seen Lily’s behavior, she would have burst into tears.

So I had to stop it.

Lily looked at me, then closed her eyes tightly and lowered her head.

While I was startled by the sudden movement, a hot wind blew out from Lily’s face that had peeked out from under her skirt, tickling my thighs.

I was startled by the sensation and sat down on the floor, pulling down the hem of my clothes.

“Ha, I told you not to do that…”

“But, but, I, I also want to get closer to Jeff Yang!”

There’s no need to get close to this kind of person…

I glared at Lane, who was looking at Lily with a smug expression.

This small, obscene chick, by her very presence, corrupts the innocent people around her.

The fact that Shine is like this now was all Rain’s fault.

Anyway, Lily, who had tried what she wanted, stepped back with a satisfied expression.

I sat up, rubbing my thighs.

…I hope it doesn’t smell anything strange?

I put my hand down and checked my panties.

Since coming here, I haven’t had a single dirty thought, so the fluffy feeling remains the same.

I sighed in relief and picked up the bag that had fallen on the floor.

“Jeff, are you really going to leave?”

“Yeah. Did you hear what Rain just said? Shine and Mom are here. Shine is my older sister.”

“Jeff Yang’s older sister…”

Lily seemed to be imagining what my older sister, Shine, would look like when I spoke to her.

I smiled slightly and held out my hand.

“Lily, let’s go too.”

“Ha, but Mom told me to wait here!”

The good girl, who absolutely obeyed Kelly’s words, shook her head with her eyes tightly shut.

Rain, who was standing next to her, opened his mouth in a daze as he ran towards the bed and hugged a large pillow.

“If I leave here, my mother will be very angry…”

Lily seemed very afraid of getting scolded by Kelly.

I looked at Rain.

I wanted to leave Lily here and go outside, but listening to Lane, it seemed like the structure of this place called the Black Palace was changing as it pleased.

So, we have to take Lily.

So as not to get lost.

But you can’t force a child to go if he or she doesn’t want to go.

I took out the small crayon I had packed in my bag.

The white crayons stood out enough on a black wall to be visible from a distance.

“Then we’re just going together?”

“Oops…”

Lily glared at me and ran over to block the door.

“Jeff Yang, your mother told you not to go out!”

I said to Lily, with my hands on my hips.

“Hey. Lily. Do you like Kelly, your mother?”

“Yes, yes! Of course!”

“Me too. I like my mom too. And I miss my mom.”

“Oops…”

Lily nodded, taking a step back at my words.

“And my mom is here now. So I want to go see her.”

“That, that’s…”

“So, will you step aside? Or should I come with you?”

“, together…”

Kelly, who had been pondering my words for a while, nodded as if she had made up her mind about something.

Lily’s small hand reached out and took mine.

Lily meant to go with me.

This is how a party of three was formed.

I carried the large bag on my back, and Lily held her friend Freddie in her arms.

Rain just walked.

As I left the room and looked around, Lily started walking ahead.

“Rainyang. You said Jeffyang’s mother was on the floor below?”

“Yeah, I guess so. I met that big guy and I climbed a ton of stairs. ”

“Um…”

Lily nodded to Lane’s words and stroked her chin.

It seemed as if he was trying to guess roughly where Amy was.

Just in case, I held the crayon up to the wall and started drawing.

I also drew a little dinosaur in the corner so that if Amy were to pass by this line while walking down the hallway, she would know that it was me.

And if you walk like this, marking the path, even if you get lost, you will be able to find your way back.

“I think it’s this way.”

Lily stretched out her hand and pointed down the hallway.

Whether it was this way or that way, it was still the end of the hallway.

Rain and I followed Lily.

Did we walk like that for a long time?

We were able to face the first step.

The endless downward staircase seemed like a passage leading to the entrance of hell.

I swallowed hard and went down the stairs.

When you go down all the stairs, a black hallway like before unfolds.

Although it was a situation where it was impossible to tell where was where, Lily acted as if she was familiar with this place.

As I walked down the hallway, other people passed me by.

They looked at me and Lane, then noticed Lily next to them, and continued on their way.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming out with Lily was the right answer.

If this little girl hadn’t come out, my adventure with Rain wouldn’t have been so smooth.

***

Amy looked around and grabbed her forehead.

Those who had been following along well suddenly disappeared.

Just like rain.

No, in this case, it seemed right that he had disappeared like Rain.

Was it a problem that I took a step forward and fell behind the line, even if it was just a little bit?

Amy looked down the dark hallway.

Although he felt a foreign energy, he did not react to Baek Wang’s energy.

“Shine? Victor?”

Amy called out her daughter’s name and her teammate’s name just in case.

But as expected, there was no answer.

In the empty hallway, only her voice is scattered in vain.

Amy reached out and touched the wall.

A wall made of smooth, solid material.

It didn’t seem like ordinary marble.

but.

Plop-

I tightened my grip, and my fingers dug into the smooth wall, cracking.

It can be broken.

That meant that Amy could make her own way.

I should have done it like this from the beginning.

Amy let out a small sigh and raised her hand.

If you make a big fuss, the enemies will come running, but in a place like this where it’s hard to find your way, it’s more effective to call people over and ask them for directions.

Kukukukukuku-!

The moment that decision was made, a white current rose from Amy’s body.

It spread out like a swaying wave, forming the shape of a white beast and settling down behind her.

The next moment.

Boom!

With a strong impact, the wall blocking Amy’s path collapsed.

The impact was so great that it shook the Black Palace, and it would be enough to focus the attention of others.

But Amy didn’t stop.

Next, and next.

He keeps throwing punches.

The wall collapsed, revealing a room within.

There was no door, but a room appeared.

Amy became interested in this place called the Black Palace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amy didn’t stop.

As I moved forward, I destroyed everything that stood in my way.

How much time has passed like that?

Amy could see someone approaching from the end of the hallway.

A person with a large body.

Amy felt tense at the traces of her body that seemed to have been trained to the limit.

She knew instinctively.

The opponent before my eyes right now is incomparably stronger than any enemy I have ever faced.

Baek Wang’s aura, reacting to her emotions, appeared more fierce.

Across the hallway from where Amy was standing, Khan appeared.

As nervous as Amy was, he was nervous too.

The reason was the huge shape seen behind Amy’s back.

It is visible to the eye.

It’s clear.

Khan raised his fist, as if the very being had descended upon him.

I thought he was a noble I didn’t know, but that couldn’t be true.

For the nobles, the Black Palace itself is a sacred place.

So, the act of destroying the Black Spirit Palace in this way was telling us that the opponent was not a noble.

There was no conversation between the two.

They just stood from afar, exchanged glances, and then ran towards each other.

The enemy.

They are each other’s enemies.

No one denied that fact.

Khan realized as he ran.

Speed is yours, strength is also yours.

He was confident in his body’s durability, so he had no doubt that this match would be his victory.

It should have been so.

It definitely should have been that way.

But, the next moment, it was Khan himself who was flying backwards.

The moment I punched the white woman in front of me, the connection was cut off.

Strength, endurance, speed, everything was gone.

The moment he realized that fact, Khan’s body stopped and broke through the wall of the Black Palace.

Kwaaang!
