If it had been the original, Rumi would have awakened the Oni blood flowing within her in a fight for her life.

However, due to someone’s intervention, the Oni blood flowing inside her body opened her eyes under the influence of a human, not a fierce fight.

Is that why?

The moment she realized that Do Yu-jin had left her behind and disappeared, Rumi felt genuinely depressed, as if she were a puppy abandoned by its owner.

The situation is already confusing because the obsession that should have been directed towards fighting has been directed elsewhere.

But since Do Yu-jin, who could be called the main character, disappeared without saying anything, it was no wonder that Rumi, who was usually the epitome of cheerfulness, became truly depressed and locked herself in her room.

To be honest, Rumi’s condition was so serious that if Shigure hadn’t stepped forward and thrown her a note with Doyujin’s contact information, she would still be locked up in her room.

‘What if that happens to be the last time we meet again… … ‘

It was just yesterday that I couldn’t sleep because I was worried about this.

But today.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

The man she had been picturing in her head all along suddenly showed up in a place she never expected.

Even as if nothing had happened before, with such shamelessness!

‘what?’

In that surreal situation, Rumi’s head stopped functioning for a moment.

And when she finally came to her senses again.

Groan groan-

By then everything was over and people were slowly dispersing.

“Oh no!”

Lumi, who realized belatedly what an opportunity she had missed, looked around urgently, but of course, Do Yu-jin had already disappeared.

If Rumi had grabbed a nearby professor and asked, “Where’s the black-haired boy who went up on the podium with me a little while ago?” she would have heard, “Huh? He should be in the principal’s office.”

Taat-!

‘It hasn’t been that long yet, so it can’t have gone that far!’

But Rumi, who originally had no talent for thinking in that direction, moved her legs instead of her mouth.

A hasty decision made out of impatience due to being hit in the back of the head too many times by Do Yu-jin in Japan.

Because of that, she couldn’t attend classes properly and had to go around to all the places in the circle, but she was satisfied.

“Found.”

Because in the end, I succeeded in finding the prey I wanted.

But still, it was forbidden to let down one’s guard.

Because what she was after now wasn’t prey so stupid that it could be caught with just a few baits.

Quite the opposite.

“What, do you have business with me?”

It was a clever prey that would stick out its flippers at any opportunity to trick the hunter.

◎ ◎ ◎

Gulp-

‘I did it because I couldn’t think of any other way, but is it possible? I think it’s possible, but… ‘

I’ve said this before, but it’s true that Rumi saw Do Yu-jin’s face.

But there was a premise that it was something I saw while I was so drunk on the excitement of the first Yokai transformation that I could see people as dots in the dark of the night, and it was all stuck on like rags.

‘And the most crucial thing is that at that time, I was fully activating [the beauty of the country in my arms (10★)].’

Whereas now?

Using [Transparent and Distorted Existence (6★)], [The Master Who Rules Pleasure (10★)] and [The One Who Holds the Beauty of the Country (10★)] are also being suppressed.

If you just search the Internet, you can easily find people whose before and after makeup looks completely different.

Moreover, there are characteristics that exist in the realm of supernatural powers and then disappear.

Even if it’s the same pasta, the taste can be completely different depending on where you eat it.

Naturally, in Rumi’s eyes now, there was a clear difference between the heavily armed Do Yu-jin back then and the disarmed Do Yu-jin now.

‘Perhaps the more sensitive a person is, the more he or she will feel the sense of incongruity. So, if I act well, it’s not impossible to fool them.’

Of course, my conscience was a little pricked.

It wasn’t intentional, but it seemed like he was constantly using Lumi and then abandoning her.

“Are you the one who was next to me at the awards ceremony a little while ago?”

But that’s that and this is this.

“Do you have any business with me?”

Do Yu-jin wasn’t so naive that she would reveal her true identity just because she felt a little uncomfortable.

“No, that’s… … ”

Is it because Do Yu-jin gritted her teeth and shamelessly went out?

Rumi’s eyes, which had been full of confidence, shook slightly.

‘It’s working!’

Do Yu-jin, who saw that sight, naturally drove the wedge in.

“I don’t know what the situation is, but if you have nothing to say, I wish you would just leave. I was just resting and sunbathing in the forest.”

“Ugh… … ”

“Well, if you really don’t like it, I don’t mind if you go somewhere else.”

After Do Yu-jin finished speaking like that, she got up from her seat and stretched out her legs to go somewhere else.

On the outside, he appears extremely calm.

Boom boom boom-!

But now Do Yu-jin’s heart was beating like crazy with excitement and tension.

‘Wow, this really worked. Ah, let’s calm down. If we keep doing this, we’ll get caught for no reason.’

While Do Yu-jin was calming down her heart that was beating like crazy.

Quaak-

Rumi, who had been hesitating continuously, suddenly grabbed Do Yu-jin’s wrist.

‘Did you get caught?’

Do Yu-jin, who was so shocked that her heart almost dropped, froze and couldn’t react at all, just staring blankly at Rumi.

Thanks to his regular training, he managed to maintain a poker face, but it was a mistake.

“Hey, I can’t explain it to you in detail because there are many reasons I can’t say, but I’m in a situation where I have a huge headache because of some guy right now?”

If Do Yu-jin had chosen to say something instead of focusing on her facial expressions, the momentum of the conversation would not have shifted to Rumi.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but let go of this hand first?”

Do Yu-jin, who realized her mistake too late, spoke in a strong tone filled with displeasure.

“Honestly, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing right now. My memory is a bit hazy, but I remember the feeling perfectly. No matter how I look at it, you’re so different from the atmosphere I remember.”

Regardless, Rumi, who was riding on the momentum, continued talking without loosening her grip as if she hadn’t heard Do Yu-jin’s words.

“But.”

Rumi’s red eyes flashed as she forcefully interrupted him.

Inside, an intense obsession burned like a flame.

“My instincts are somehow screaming at me to keep holding on to you?”

No, you’re saying you’re going to push people like that without any evidence?

Whether Do Yu-jin screams like that inside or not.

Kwak-

Rumi, who had already made up her mind, continued to push Do Yu-jin.

“Hey, if I’m holding on to that worthless guy right now, I’ll do dogeza to you or something after this is over and give you a huge apology.”

Rumi took a small breath.

The fangs protruding from her mouth flashed slightly.

“So let me drink some of your blood.”

There were so many crazy people!

An alarm bell rang loudly in Do Yu-jin’s head.

What Oni likes is delicious sake, fragrant blood, and fighting to the death.

As a Lumi who possesses the blood of such an Oni, it would be possible for her to drink Do Yu-jin’s blood now and compare it to the blood she drank back then.

Do Yu-jin felt a chill down her spine as she looked into Rumi’s eyes, which had suddenly turned into eyes of a reversed eye.

For no reason, the part where Rumi had bitten me last time felt stinging.

‘I never thought that the blood I gave you last time to stimulate Oni’s blood would come back to you like this.’

A literal do-or-die situation.

ha-

At that, Do Yu-jin let out a small sigh.

By the way, this was not the sigh of a loser who had given up everything and accepted reality.

If he had just talked about giving up to this extent, Do Yu-jin would have collapsed a long time ago in his previous life.

That is, this is… …

“I just stayed still because I didn’t want to bother dealing with him, but he really treats me like a fool.”

It was a sigh of frustration at having to choose the lesser evil to avoid the worst.

“What?”

The moment when Rumi is bewildered by Do Yu-jin’s sudden change.

Phew-!

Suddenly, thick smoke exploded between the two people.

“Tsk! What the heck!”

Lumi immediately got out of the smoke, but soon became flustered.

“Huh?”

Because Do Yu-jin’s wrist, which he had clearly been holding tightly, had disappeared from his hand.

“What child dares… … !”

Crispy-

The tree shook lightly as if responding to Rumi’s growling words.

As she turned her head there, Rumi saw an unidentified ninja holding Doyujin in a princess-like embrace.

-I saved her because she looked dangerous, but she’s Lumi. What on earth did you do to her?

-It’s true that I did something, but in this situation, I’m the victim.

-What is your answer?

Shigure, who had called him over to have a quick chat since he had heard there was no class, ended up detonating a smoke bomb after seeing the timing.

‘I didn’t know things would turn out like this, but anyway, I’m glad.’

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh of relief.

And to Rumi, whose eyes were already half-open.

Snap-!

“It was like that then and it’s like that now… …What the heck? Is it a trend these days to steal a married man?”

Do Yu-jin’s appearance reminded her of a very, very unpleasant memory she had recently experienced.

“What are you doing, popping out all of a sudden and causing a fuss?”

Naturally, a ferocious aura like that of a hungry lion burst out from Rumi’s entire body, but unfortunately, there was something different from that time.

“Why do you keep giving me shit like that?”

The difference is that this time, Do Yu-jin is not behind him, but across from him.

“That, that’s… … ”

Rumi cringed slightly at Do Yu-jin’s tone of disbelief.

The situation was so similar to Tamamo’s that I found myself growling without realizing it, but thinking about it, I realized that I was the villain now.

“Tsk, that’s okay. It’s not like there are just a few weirdos among the Awakened.”

Do Yu-jin said the same thing she had heard somewhere, adding even more force to her words.

“Anyway, I don’t want to bother you and make things worse, so just disappear right now.”

“What? No, wait… … ”

Rumi tried to grab Doyujin urgently.

-now!

Paat-!

However, Shigure, who had received Doyujin’s urgent signal, was faster than him in kicking the ground.

“Hey! Both of you, stop there!”

Shigure glanced behind him as he heard the ground lightly cracking with a roar.

Then I saw Lumi chasing them, literally breaking the ground.

-What are you going to do? If you keep doing this, you’ll probably get caught soon.

I was confident about my speed, but unfortunately the situation was too bad at the time.

Even for her, it would have been impossible to shake off Rumi, who had monstrous physical abilities, while carrying Do Yu-jin.

Do Yu-jin thought about something for a moment and then asked.

-Is there a good place to hide nearby? People shouldn’t be coming in for a while.

-A good place to hide? Is my dorm okay?

-I’m fine, but what about you?

-It’s okay. I don’t really care.

-Okay, then let’s go there right now.

Shigure made a dumbfounded expression behind his mask as he listened to Do Yu-jin’s words.

-No, first of all, you have to shake off the ashes before you go there or not.

-don’t worry.

Do Yu-jin spoke, slowly generating magical power.

-If you help me out a little, it won’t be a big deal to just shake off one of them.
