… That’s what I thought, but it was harder to endure than I thought.

I wouldn’t know if I was just standing there.

The biggest thing was being caught by the vines and not being able to move.

First of all, it’s hard to breathe, as if there’s a heavy rock in my chest.

Every time I tried to move, the thorns scratched me and the vines were so tight that it was really uncomfortable.

I wasn’t pregnant, but I had to breathe like Heimlich breathing.

Yeah, whatever. I guess I’ll have to hold on here.

Looking at Margrave’s words, it didn’t seem like he had any intention of messing with me all this time, right?

So even in the worst case scenario, I didn’t think I would die.

333 There is nothing against the law.

It’s not like you can’t breathe at all, so there’s no risk of suffocation.

I wasn’t sure about water and food, but I thought Noh Chang-hoon would come before that.

If you drink the sap from this gag, you will be able to survive for at least three or four days without difficulty.

Of course, if Noh Chang-hoon came late, everything was a disaster.

If you come even a little bit late, you should break your head instead of getting ripped off.

Just come early so I can at least tolerate your nonsense about how it looks a bit unsightly to be tied up in tentacles.

It’s going to turn.

Not being able to speak was more annoying than I thought.

It’s uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it, so let’s say it’s okay.

I was always worried because I couldn’t do anything about being bored.

It will take some time for him to come, so why are you waiting here?

If I could at least talk, I would spend some time talking to myself, but what can I do when I’m gagged like this?

In the end, all I could do was chew the gag.

Still, it wasn’t fun at all.

It was better than I thought because it felt like chewing squid.

And if your gag breaks while chewing like this, that’s not bad, right?

So, I chewed the gag like gum for a while and then drank the sap.

Did you say that humans are animals of adaptation?

Even though I was a little uncomfortable, it became bearable over time, right?

I never thought I would be able to sleep in this situation in my life, but I did.

I was going to sleep anyway, so there was no need to refuse, so I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.

When I woke up, it seemed like several hours had passed.

The surroundings were bright before I was caught, but now it is dark.

Even though several hours had passed, I didn’t feel particularly weak or anything like that.

I wouldn’t know if it was left alone for about a month.

Since it simply prevents you from moving, you won’t lose much stamina with this.

Besides, it’s not like there’s nothing to eat at all.

It’s not like there’s nothing to drink.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t figure out what Margrave’s intentions were.

If the sap was so tasteless, I would understand it as food torture, but that wasn’t the case.

This… It was really delicious.

It’s strangely refreshing and sweet, just like drinking cool water.

If only carbonation had been present, it would have been just a carbonated drink.

In addition, the amount of fluid coming out was greater, perhaps because of the wound.

So I just kept sipping the sap for a while.

Honestly, there are so many reasons to drink this.

It’s sweet, refreshing, and makes you feel good when you drink it.

At that time, I thought it was a good idea to bite the gag.

If I had stayed quiet, I wouldn’t have been able to drink anything like this.

I think we’re giving too much meaning to something like sap, but whatever.

Even putting this on your neck is a bit of a work of art.

I was wondering what to do with the bathroom or something like that, but whatever.

Noh Chang-hoon will come before then, right?

So I stopped worrying and just focused on enjoying this fun.

How long had he been drinking sap like that?

I heard the voice I wanted to hear from far away.

It was Noh Chang-hoon.

They were calling my name very loudly, as if they didn’t expect anyone to show up.

If I could have answered, I would have, but it was such a waste.

Still, it seemed like if I waited a little longer, I would meet Noh Chang-hoon.

He’s capable.

I’m sure you have some idea of what happened by now.

It was clear that he would come here to investigate.

Because I believe in my bond with Noh Chang-hoon! I’m sure he’ll come here.

And my thoughts were not astray.

“… I’m going crazy.”

I heard Noh Chang-hoon’s voice behind me.

And soon after, I heard the sound of something breaking.

I could hear the sound of someone cutting with something sharp, and it seemed like they were carrying something like an axe.

So, the moment I was happily waiting, Noh Chang-hoon appeared in front of me.

… Just by looking at it, it looked like he had suffered quite a bit.

There must have been a battle, because his clothes were quite worn and there were many residual wounds on his body.

Still, I was glad that the gaze he was looking at me was warm.

If I had been staring at it fiercely, I would have felt a little sad.

No, I must have felt sad after all the hardships I had gone through.

“I’ll release you, so wait. Almost all of the thorns have been removed, so if you think you can undo it and come out, do so.”

The guy immediately raised the axe.

Yes, he lifted the ax without hesitation.

You lifted the ax even though I was tied to the vines?

Then, if you make a mistake and film me instead of the vine, I don’t know what you’ll do.

Without hesitation, Noh Chang-hoon started chopping down the vines with an ax to free me.

After a few minutes, it was definitely easier to move.

Since it doesn’t have thorns, it doesn’t get in the way.

So I was able to use my strength to cut the vine off.

And soon enough, I was finally able to escape from that damn prison.

I really didn’t know it would be this good to be able to move my body completely.

“Ah, it was really hard. If you hadn’t come, we would have been in big trouble.”

“… I’m going crazy.”

“What. Oh, by the way, how is the situation there?”

Even though they said they had handed over the handover, it didn’t seem like they would have handled it properly.

I guess he came in a hurry to save me.

Of course, just because he’s not there, it won’t mean things won’t work at all.

It’s not that Noh Chang-hoon is incompetent. You get things done pretty quickly, right?

So I guess I did something about it… What, why is this guy looking like this?

His eyes were a bit strange.

Even though he’s shocked, he looks like he’s very shocked… If you’re going to be shocked, you should have been surprised a long time ago.

It was definitely strange to suddenly do this now.

It doesn’t seem like there’s anything strange next to it.

So I guess he was shocked to see me… I couldn’t figure out what the reason was.

So I kicked him in the shin and told him to come to his senses.

“Hey, come to your senses. Did you take any medicine?”

“No… You.”

“What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”

“… Yeji Lee. How on earth are you moving now?”

“Huh? How do you move? Of course, just move. Did I eat something wrong?”

“No.”

“Ah!”

Noh Chang-hoon suddenly grabbed my arm tightly.

It wasn’t usually held that hard either. If I catch it to the point where it hurts, other people will break their bones.

So I tried to get angry and ask what the hell was going on.

“Ugh, what!?”

My arm felt weird.

No, there was some kind of dark blue mark on my arm.

It wasn’t just a small amount, it was enough to say that more than half of the skin on my arm was eaten.

Thanks to this, I was able to understand why Noh Chang-hoon was excited.

I would have been really embarrassed if his arms looked like this.

“No, this… I don’t think it’s a bruise… Is it a bruise?”

“If you ask me that, how would I know?”

“But Changhoon, you are smarter than me. Well, do you have any guesses?”

“Do you understand it’s me?”

“That’s right… ”

I pressed the mark, wondering if it was a bruise.

I thought it would hurt if it was a bruise. And looking at the familiar pain, it seemed like I was bruised.

Then it’s not a normal bruise, but a blood bruise… The color was a bit strange to call it a blood bruise.

Usually, bruising is a dark blue mark, but not to this extent.

This was to the point where it could be considered necrosis.

But if necrosis was truly necrotic, there shouldn’t be any pain, right?

Looking at the pain when I poked it, it didn’t seem like necrosis.

Then there was only one way to check.

“What are you doing?!”

Whether Noh Chang-hoon was scared or not, he picked up the Cheonmachong that was lying nearby and slightly cut his arm.

What is certain is that you cut yourself and bleed like this.

And I knew it when I saw the blood.

The blood was not red, but dark blue.

At this point I knew for sure.

“I think I’m dying, Changhun!”

“Crazy bitch.”

“No, but! Blood, blood is dark blue!? Are you not worried about me?”

“You must have fallen into some kind of trap. calm down. Looking at how lively I am, I guess I’m not going to die.”

“It’s not some kind of trap, it’s because I was caught by Margrave!”

“… What?”

“… And it’s not like they just got caught. I was gagged and drank a strange sap.”

“What on earth have you been drinking all this time?”

“But the sap may not be a problem.”

Because it just felt like a nutritional supplement.

It didn’t seem like there was any trick involved.

Plus, it was refreshing and sweet? I didn’t think it was poison or anything like that.

Ah, thinking about it makes me want to drink more.

Coincidentally, there are still vines with sap flowing?

So I tried to go there but was stopped.

Noh Chang-hoon took out a bandage from the bag on his waist and tied it around my arm.

I didn’t think it would be necessary, but whatever. Thank you for your consideration.

So I said my thanks in moderation and tried to drink the sap, but something bothered me.

“Hey, Changhoon.”

“… Why.”

“I’ve just come up with an ominous hypothesis… You too?”

“… okay. What on earth have you been drinking?”

“No.”

No matter how dull I was, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t notice my body changing like this.

It was clear that I felt distinct pain every time I pressed the affected area.

Then there was only one possibility.

That sap is actually a drug, and I drank it without knowing it.

As soon as my thoughts reached that point, my legs became weak.

Withdrawal symptoms are also withdrawal symptoms, but I felt a bit embarrassed.

No, that… No matter how delicious it was, you ate it without even thinking about it.

So I just stared at the ground without saying anything for a while.

It seems that things were more complicated than I thought.
