Congress is also over. I almost finished everything I had to do today.

Since Park Kang-chan is my friend, I have no place to go.

Unless other schedules interfered, today was like a complete day.

Now there was only one thing to do. Now that I had memorized the directions, all that was left was to explore it myself.

I roughly memorized it, but I have to work hard to check it properly.

So, I planned to walk around with Park Kang-chan by my side.

After the assembly ended, Oh Han-young said she had a nice day and disappeared.

Rather, it was a good thing. It was obvious that it would be uncomfortable if there were uninvited guests.

“Let’s go, Kang Chan.”

“… Yes, sister.”

“Uh huh.”

Park Kang-chan seemed very dissatisfied.

It was worth it. Because Congress was an inconvenient place for low-ranking public officials like him.

I couldn’t say I was participating, I just had to sit still in an immobile position and then return.

I was forced to take you to that place, so it’s no wonder you don’t like it.

It would be tiring to walk around Jinju without even resting.

Of course, I was a person who knew how to distinguish between public and private things.

Later, I planned to pay back to Park Kang-chan for pampering him like this.

Well, it’s like giving them convenience or giving them more of their favorite foods.

“Oh.”

As I was coming out of the city hall, I noticed a group of saints gathered together.

Except for Han Hae-jin, who was acting out, everyone seemed to be getting along pretty well.

I thought there were some downsides to it because it was divided into different departments.

No, it seemed like everyone hated Haejin Han.

It seemed like he was blatantly ignoring her words or actions.

I looked at it for a moment and then sighed.

I didn’t intend to be involved for a long time, but I wanted to help Ahn Hae-jin participate in the conversation for a while.

Well, if I go in and ask them to introduce themselves, everyone will say something.

“Kang Chan-a.”

“You want me to wait? I understand.”

The child has become much more perceptive now.

Last time, I must have been standing still.

As he said, Park Kang-chan stepped back slightly and took his place in an appropriate place.

It seemed like he wouldn’t move from there until I called him.

I slowly walked to where the saints were gathered.

“Hello.”

Since it was our first time meeting, I thought it would be nice to speak politely.

I wouldn’t know if they reacted hostilely towards me.

First of all, it looks like those people aren’t hostile to me either.

It would have been a pain in the ass if they had been all hostile.

“Oh… hello… !”

Ahn Hae-jin waved his hand vigorously as if he was happy to see her.

I laughed off her welcome and looked at the people gathered here.

There were seven saints, including me and Ahn Hae-jin.

So, I had to memorize five faces.

But it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult to memorize.

“It’s Namgaon.”

“I am Namraon.”

“I am Namdaon.”

The women who appeared to be triplets each answered.

The hair color was dark gray, and the eye color was also red.

Of course, it didn’t seem like it was the same thing at all.

It could not be said that there was no difference in color.

All three seemed to be using the same weapons, and several skewers were visible hanging from their waists.

The lengths were all different, but they all had one long awl on their waist that looked like it was cutting something.

“My name is Solmin Lee. Please take care of me.”

Lee Sol-min is quite… uh… In many ways. It was huge. It was clear that he was over 180cm tall.

In addition, his body was quite muscular, and the knuckles on his fists looked strong.

He probably seemed to be a fighter in the same style as Noh Chang-hoon.

Unusually, his hair was plain black, but his eyes were gold.

“Park No-eul.”

“My name is Park Noel. Nice to meet you.”

True to their names, both had red hair and yellow eyes.

It seemed like Noeul was the older sister and Noel was the younger sibling, but there seemed to be a bit of a height difference.

It was interesting that both weapons were Kukri.

I wondered if something like that was sold here.

But something was strange. Everyone, what should I say?

I didn’t feel like he was a villain at all.

It felt like I had no choice but to give up.

It was clear that I had crossed a line, but it seemed like I had given up on going back after crossing that line.

It was strange. No matter what, there was no way even just one person wouldn’t enjoy it.

This was within the range that Kang Si-woo could understand.

Because as people live, they may inevitably be covered in blood.

If you realize that you have crossed a line, all you have to do is cross it again and atone for it.

Of course, there would be discord in the process of atonement, but it was something these people had to deal with because it was their karma.

Anyway, I’m not saying he’s the kind of person who messed up enough to have to run away all the way here.

In that case, I felt like I had to look at the last person left.

I slowly looked at the last person.

She was about the size of a girl with yellow hair and green eyes with freckles, but there was something about her that was a little off.

What is it? He said he didn’t believe in yellow hair and freckles.

“This is Choi Hae-rang. Nice to meet you.”

“Thank you for the introduction. This is Yeji.”

“I don’t think you were seen during the escape process. How is the situation there these days?”

“Uh… When I fled, Busan was stabilizing. The other saints seemed to be absorbed into the force… ”

“Was there anyone who died or anything like that?”

Choi Hae-rang said urgently.

I asked back curiously.

“That’s right, what reason is there to kill? Don’t they just kill people who surrender?”

“Just like that, it’s over… ?”

“Ah.”

The inclusion of the saint was something that Noh Chang-hoon and I suggested.

Considering that Kang Si-woo had uncontrollable power and was followed as a saint by a pseudo-religious force.

If possible, we tried to push them into a place where we could control them and monitor them.

So that if you try to run away, you can immediately kill them.

Since Kang Si-woo was sensitive to things that could destroy the community, something else was needed to prevent it.

So, by combining the testimony of the saint I brought with me during the escape process and Noh Chang-hoon’s words, I moved in the direction of inclusion.

The fact that I was suddenly considered a saint also played a role.

Only then did Kang Si-woo, who decided that the saintly woman might be the victim, change his mind.

Of course, it was decided to kill anyone who crossed the line so seriously that they could not return.

But the people here didn’t seriously cross the line.

I felt like I could come back at any time if I tried.

For some reason, everyone seemed to have given up. I came this far anyway, and the prevailing opinion was that I couldn’t go back.

And the most horrifying thing was that Ahn Hae-jin was looking at it like she was really enjoying it.

It felt like I was expecting this kind of situation, so I looked upset.

At first glance, he seemed like a weak and dull person, but there could have been something more to him.

First of all, I decided to capture them.

A person who had no answer at all might not know, but it wasn’t that there was no answer at all.

I needed to reach out before I reached a point where I could never return.

It would have been beneficial if they had just caught it like that.

But, I wasn’t thinking about doing that right now. I talked to the saints appropriately and told them the location of my house.

He told me to come back later if I had any questions.

After ending the conversation and saying that it was fun, he hurriedly returned to where Park Kang-chan was.

Park Kang-chan looked at my expression and frowned.

It seemed like he thought he might get caught up in some trouble.

Well, I was actually planning on getting him involved in something troublesome.

I grumbled.

“Relax your frown, brat.”

“I want to solve it, but I can’t solve it.”

“Do you want me to tell you to fight?”

“You’re going to be dragged around like a scoundrel.”

“That’s right. let’s go. Turn around.”

“Did you have trouble talking with the saints?”

“… It went well.”

“Then what is the problem that makes you look so worried?”

I did not respond to Park Kang-chan’s words.

I couldn’t answer in the first place.

How can I tell you that I plan to recruit those saintly women and take them to Busan?

So, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and follow the directions and take a walk around Jinju City.

Park Kang-chan sat next to me and showed me the way without saying anything.

This is a place like this, and there is a place like that, so patrolling is essential.

I don’t know this force well, but I know that force well.

The atmosphere is quite nice over there. They are raising their family in a healthy way, so it is worth getting along with them.

Because he added things like that from the side, it was easy to understand the power structure here.

If the location had been different, it would have been a very enjoyable time.

Even if this was Busan or some other place I don’t know.

However, this place was no different from the home of marauders.

A disgusting place that officially introduced slavery.

Because of that, every time I walked around here, I felt more annoyed than happy.

All I could think about was how to destroy this place.

Fortunately, he didn’t show it. I just calmly let it sink in and took it in with my eyes.

What should we do with these bastards?

But it seemed like he couldn’t hide it from Park Kang-chan.

In the end, Park Kang-chan, who was worse off, opened his mouth.

“Sister, you look in a bad mood.”

“That’s it.”

“It’s okay, right? I don’t want to get caught up with that sister and get punished.”

“Woo, if anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m a gangster!”

“No?”

“Hey!”

Even so, I doubted whether I could think such a thing after looking at such a pretty woman.

Of course, it seemed like it must have been very scary at that time.

It is full of blood and is carrying only one blunt weapon.

So, while I was complaining about what was scary about that, I realized one thing.

Strangely enough, I felt relieved. I was about to get angry, but I just froze.

I looked at Park Kang-chan. I thought it would be a good idea to take this bastard to Busan and make him my friend.
