The last time I saw that expression was when we were at the Cursed Shrine. I flinched without realizing it, but it wasn’t a big deal because I knew better than anyone that Jung Ha-Yan had changed compared to back then. She hadn’t killed anyone recently, and she had been trying her best to prevent herself from doing things I wouldn’t like, so of course, she had been really calm lately. I was almost certain that she wasn’t going to harm me.

Anyway, after seeing Han Sora, Jung Ha-Yan was definitely shocked to see her because she stared at her, and then I saw tears rolling down her cheeks. The surprise caused her to hiccup, which I found to be surprisingly cute.

“Hic… cup… hiccup.”

‘I’ll comfort her later.’

Jung Ha-Yan looked cute to the point that I started questioning if I really wasn’t sadistic. I wasn’t sure what she was thinking as she was crying, but Han Sora looked pretty happy because she was thinking that everything was going according to her plan. I knew that dumb woman’s script was pretty simple. I was sure her silly plan was to get me kicked out of the guild by using sexual assault as an excuse, and then she would enter the Blue Guild after re-negotiating her offer, but that wasn’t going to work.

‘Nice try,...
