During the brief moment of calling Chabia, Do Yu-jin felt as if she was entering a haunted house on her own two feet, and she went over all the excuses she had thought of in advance in her head.

That would be the case, because the Chavia he knew was not a good-natured person who would just laugh off the damage caused by his subordinate’s mistake.

‘There will definitely be all kinds of chaos and uproar.’

But when he actually opened the lid, Do Yu-jin’s expectations were completely wrong.

Because Chavia on the other end of the phone brushed off this incident with a few light remarks.

“What is it?”

Although she was dumbfounded by the absurd result, Do Yu-jin soon became delighted and celebrated with 13 kinds of donuts.

Any miscalculation of this kind would have been welcome.

While throwing such a small party, Do Yu-jin was surprised that donuts could be this delicious… …

‘Now that I think about it, it was probably like my last supper.’

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh and turned her gaze forward, or more precisely, down to her feet.

“… … ”

“… … ”

Then, the student body president and vice president of the circle, two people who were so popular and prestigious that it would not be an exaggeration to say they were at the top of the circle’s hierarchy pyramid, were seen kneeling respectfully and bowing their heads to the floor.

It was such a shocking sight that if there had been even one student from the student council there, it wouldn’t have been strange if they had fainted, unable to accept the reality before their eyes.

‘I expected this to be a headache… … but this is worse than I thought.’

Do Yu-jin lightly pressed his temple without them knowing and then opened his mouth.

“What are you trying to do all of a sudden?”

By bringing up the subject like that, Do Yu-jin was able to find something that could be considered a good thing in this situation.

Because my mood was running on the edge of a low pressure, I was able to naturally blurt out the ghostly, cold words that I usually had to consciously say.

Do Yu-jin looked down at them, trying to feel a little joy and comfort in that fact.

Did you feel that gaze?

Swish-

Rias and Yorbi raised their heads slightly and looked at Doyujin.

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot since then. Why on earth did Ghost-san act that way back then?”

Gulp-

While listening to Rias’s words, Doyujin clicked his tongue without the other two knowing.

That would be the case, because at the time, Do Yu-jin had no purpose or intention, but simply turned the tables because she was annoyed by the situation in front of her and judged that there was no answer.

‘It seems like you interpreted my actions back then somehow… … But how did you interpret them to make you act so extreme?’

Do Yu-jin felt anxious all over again.

That was understandable, since Do Yu-jin had spent the past three days only working on her waist instead of thinking hard, and so she had failed to come up with a plausible reason for her actions at that time.

That is, Do Yu-jin now had to decide her future course of action based on what interpretation these two people had come up with.

Because if you blindly deny the other person’s thoughts when there is no alternative, the only result will be a breakdown.

‘That’s not a very desirable situation for me either.’

So the best Do Yu-jin could do right now was to listen to Rias’ words, nod as if to say that was exactly what she was thinking, and continue acting accordingly.

‘I really don’t know how things ended up like this.’

If you just look at the situation on the surface, it looks like Rias and Yorbi are kneeling and submitting to Doyujin.

But, ironically enough, it was not them but Do Yu-jin who was waiting for the leash to be put around his neck.

In other words, although the two do not know it, they have now seized the opportunity of a lifetime.

Gulp-

As Doyujin’s face behind the mask hardened with tension, Rias finally opened her mouth quietly.

“You are disappointed in us because we, who already seem to be doing well, can’t even gather opinions properly, right?”

After that incident, Rias and Yorbi first sorted out the current situation.

What I learned through that process was simple.

The ghost they thought was just a sturdy rope was actually a magic bullet that could instantly solve all the problems surrounding them.

They only met and talked twice, but the strength and presence that Do Yu-jin showed each time was more than enough to instill such faith in the two of them.

“Perhaps Ghost-san is an A-class Awakened who has not revealed his existence to the world. And if my guess is correct… …he is probably one of the strongest among them.”

“It’s hard to believe that she gained such skills at a younger age than me and Miss… …but considering the circumstances, it’s reasonable to see it that way.”

Generally, S-class Awakened are classified as something exceptional, like the Celestial Realm.

Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the position of an A-class Awakened Person was the highest level that an ordinary superhuman could aspire to.

‘It’s not enough that I met that kind of person, but I ended up cooperating with him… … ‘

The two stopped talking for a moment, feeling as if they had lost all sense of reality while talking.

At the same time, a small feeling of anxiety and fear blossomed in their hearts.

Because it suddenly occurred to me that I might have gotten entangled with someone who was too difficult to handle without knowing anything about it.

‘But no matter how much I think about it, this is the best way to win the factional fight.’

If so, then the choice at that time was correct.

So there is only one thing to do now.

Swish-

All he had to do was stake everything he had and grab the opponent in front of him.

‘I was prepared anyway.’

If it meant that everyone else could be happy if only she could sacrifice herself, Rias was willing to make the sacrifice.

But if I had to pick just one thing that stuck in my heart like a thorn in my side… …

Glance-

It was Yorbi who was kneeling next to her with a calm expression on his face right now.

‘So this is what happens in the end.’

For the past three days, Rias has been trying to comfort and coax Yoruby into going somewhere else.

However, no matter what she said, she didn’t budge and just stuck to Rias’ side like a gum, and followed her here.

But he wasn’t here to ruin her deal like last time.

Quite the opposite.

Unlike last time, Yorbi was planning to pursue the deal more actively.

“Lady, even though it wasn’t my intention, our previous deal was ruined because of me.”

“Is that what you’re talking about?”

“And given the circumstances, the man, no, the ghost, is likely to think of a bigger reward than he originally asked for.”

Rias was speechless at Yorubi’s words.

Because it was a guess that sounded reasonable to her.

It was at that moment that Yorbi’s mouth opened again.

“So, while I offer you the young lady, I also offer myself to the ghost.”

“What? No, you don’t have to do that! I’ll just compensate you with something else… … ”

“That’s not enough. After all, once you swear the knight’s oath, all of the lady’s belongings will be no different from the ghost’s.”

First of all-

“In order to smoothly settle a deal, there must be something that is yours but not yours. Like my life, for example.”

“Yorbi you… … !”

“I think even the ghost will be satisfied with that. I am the young lady’s maid, but I am also the daughter of a family.”

After saying that, Yorbi lowered his head towards Rias, who was looking at him with complicated eyes.

Rias spoke while looking at the scene with her lips pursed.

“Yorbi, you… … do you really have to do that?”

“I’m sorry, Miss. I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble this time. So I’ve given up on trying to stop you, but I still have to ask you.”

Yorbi spoke to her, looking straight at her with the same polite yet neat posture he always had before her.

“As a maid, I ask that you accompany me until the end of my journey.”

Of course, Rias refused Yorubi’s offer, but even so, she couldn’t break Yorubi’s will… … and the result is what we have now.

‘If only I had more time, I could have done something about it.’

I wanted to stop him even with my fists, but that was impossible.

Are you showing up to fight again in front of someone who has already been disappointed by your conflict of opinions?

Even if the opponent was not a ghost but a Bodhisattva, it was clear that he would just shake his head and leave.

“I promise, it won’t happen again.”

So Rias prayed that her eyes were correct and told the man who would become her master about her determination.

“If you will exert your power for us, this child and I will be your loyal subordinates and obey your orders from now on.”

The sight of Rias speaking faithfully and Yorubi bowing his head politely.

“… … Yeah.”

Do Yu-jin nodded as she looked at the two people.

I couldn’t figure out what kind of delusions these two people had and what conclusion they had reached, but I figured it wasn’t a bad thing for me.

‘But I guess two isn’t necessary… … Well, maybe this is better than going wild in a strange direction?’

Do Yu-jin was relieved and relieved.

Swish-

He slowly took off his mask.

“Uh… … ?”

“Ah… … ”

At Doyujin’s sudden action, Rias and Yorbi opened their eyes wide and stared at him.

Do Yu-jin looked puzzled by that blatant gaze and asked in return.

“What, I thought you’d do some background research on me since you gave me that much of a hint last time, but I guess you didn’t?”

“Ah, yes. I thought it might upset you for no reason… … ”

Rias answered like that, but was inwardly shocked.

It’s a face so ordinary that even if you meet it on the street, you’ll forget it in no time.

But is it because I have already seen that sweet image that made my heart melt just by being in the same space as that eerie image that erased all signs like a ghost?

To Rias, Doyujin’s current appearance seemed the most alien she had ever seen.

As he watched the two people staring at each other like that, Do Yu-jin also began to think a little more.

‘It was a bit hasty to just show my face when we didn’t even sign a contract or anything.’

Do Yu-jin thought for a moment and then shook her head inwardly.

‘No. It’s just that the face wasn’t revealed, but the identity was already revealed last time.’

If those two wanted to know each other, knowing each other’s faces was easier than breathing.

‘If you’re going to make your face known like that, it’s better to use it like this to create an atmosphere.’

It’s a little funny, but Do Yu-jin believed them.

Well, to be precise, I believed in their desperate situation and the nature of their position as heroines.
