26 – Chapter 26
“Hmm…”
Usually, I had to be woken up to wake up, but today, for some reason, I opened my eyes first.
Looking at the light not coming through the window, it seems that the sun hasn’t even risen yet.
It’s a good thing considering the mission I took on yesterday.
Even at the church, the people escorting me always waited at the door before I got up.
Come to think of it, Mr. Ea was like that too.
-Bungbung
I shook my head, brushed off my thoughts, and put on the uniform Adela gave me.
It was a uniform with a black base decorated with golden embroidery and a shawl attached to one shoulder.
Compared to what other gang members were wearing, it felt a bit flashy.
I wonder if he wanted to make it as glamorous as he is someone he travels with.
The uniform was surprisingly easy to wear, unlike its flashy appearance.
.
.
.
“…Look at it… Everything…”
“Um.”
Because I woke up too early, I keep dozing off.
How did Ea-san do this every day?
How many times did I wake up to the sound of whispering while I was dozing off like that? Before long, a sound came from inside the room.
“Ugh…”
-Beep
“Good night…”
And the scene that unfolded before my eyes was the first time I had seen it in my life.
A completely naked Adela and a man she had never seen before were lying in the same bed.
“…”
-Bang
My head overheated at the sight I couldn’t understand for the first time in my life, so I closed the door without saying anything.
“Ha ha ha!”
I hear Adela’s laughter from behind the door.
In this incomprehensible situation, the stiff body holds onto the doorknob and refuses to let go.
‘What were you doing with your clothes off? Men and women in the same bed…’
Her face heats up once again as she recalls it.
The only naked body I saw was Mr. Ea’s naked body, so I couldn’t help it.
‘Ah. Also.’

She shook her head once more to get her thoughts out of the way.
“Oh.”
“Hmm. Little. What are you doing this early in the morning?”
Adela’s voice was heard as the doorknob in her hand slipped out of her hand.
“Isn’t the duty of the SS to escort you?”
“Um… Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm?”
Where did you not understand?
My expression changed the same as I looked at Adela, who was still looking at me with an expression that didn’t understand.
Then, Adela put on her enlightened look and started asking me questions.
“Oh, so you were here to escort me?”
“Yes.”
“Since when?”
“…I don’t know.”
At that time, several voices began to scold Adela from behind me.
“Lia! Just say it! That trashy boss doesn’t need that kind of consideration!”
“Three hours! Three hours! Ugh…”
“Three, three hours? Why did you wake up so early?”
“That, I just happened to open my eyes…”
“Oops… Don’t be like this from now on, just sleep comfortably in your room. I’ll go pick it up.”
“But then the escort…”
“Okay. You can just do it roughly.”
“…Yes.”
No matter how much it is, I can’t stop doing this since I’ve been given the mission of escorting.
Come to think of it, Mr. Ea secretly did something even when I rejected him.
‘Ah.’
-Padudeuk
I close my eyes to clear my thoughts and bite my teeth hard.
“Are you angry?”
“…No.”
“Oh, yes. Let’s go eat. To eat.”
“Yes.”
Originally, I should have walked ahead, but I don’t have the confidence to find the right path.
I should memorize the road properly within today.
.
.
.
The rice was quite satisfactory.
…
‘…You shouldn’t think about it.’
Yes. It was quite satisfactory.
That’s it.
“Now, let’s go outside today and take a walk around.”
“Are you on patrol?”
“Hmm… They’re similar, but… A bit different, right? If you follow me, you will know~”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, that outfit suits you well. Hmm. After all, our franc skills are good.”
“Did someone named Fran make this outfit?”
“Yes. Ever since I first saw you, I’ve been stuck in my room all day making only those clothes.”
Did you put so much sincerity into these clothes?
Anyway, next time I see you, I should say thank you.
“Ah, sister. Where are you going today?”
“Um… I’ll turn around the cat.”
“Yes. Please go.”
“Yes, let’s go!”
“Yes.”
As soon as they came out, Adela spread her fingers and murmured.
“Tinder.”
Then a small ember rose from Adela’s fingertips.
Then she touches her smoking pipe with the flame and sets it on fire.
“Sueuuu… Haa… That’s it. I can’t let the kids bloom in there. It’s my organization, so does it make sense that I can’t do what I want?”
Slightly widened, Adela said and took another sip.
“Oh, kid. Shall I show you something interesting? Come on, look. Sup…”
-Wave
As Adela exhales with a sound through her lips, smoke flies in a circle.
-Wave
Then the second spit-out loop passes between the first loops.
It is indeed a strange figure.
“Hmm… I guess that wasn’t great. Well, it could be.”
“No. It was amazing.”
“There is no need to force it~ Other kids won’t respond anyway. If you’re going to pretend to be curious in the first place, you should at least change your expression.”
At those words, her hand automatically goes to her face.
What is that strange expression on your face?
When she felt a sense of wonder… Yes, the first time she saw the garden…
…
“…Kid! Would you like a skewer? Two skewers here!”
“Yes, a fairy tale… Oh, just take it.”
“Hmm? Don’t you want to earn money?”
“There is a division between those who will receive money and those who will not.”
“Well, it’s me. Come on, kid. Eat.”
“…Thank you.”
The skewers were delicious.
******
I know he’s not a kid with an ordinary past.
A kid who throws David lightly can’t be normal.
Wandering without a place to go, you came all the way to this back alley?
This is probably a story with nothing good to touch.
‘But I really like touching things I shouldn’t.’
If there is a wasp nest, I definitely want to drop it.
I can’t help but steal it when I see a wallet dangling in the pocket of a person wearing a sword.
If there is a secret of the nobility, it is impossible to survive without exposing it.
In the first place, she touched things that she said she shouldn’t touch, so Louis was created.
All of them are idiots who are fearless and have no sense of reason, and who value romance more than practicality.
I don’t know if the kid in front of me has that kind of tendency, but it’s certain that he has at least a story he wants to tell.
The only expression he showed after coming here was one that sent chills down his spine.
I don’t even know what a landmine is.
Didn’t she suddenly touch her face and make that expression?
‘Well, usually these things can be figured out by itself if you wait slowly.’
So it’s just a matter of waiting slowly until then.
After walking for such a long time, I see a familiar signboard.
A signboard that reads [Black Cat’s Playground].
-Jangrang
“I’m here~”
“Ah, Lady Adela! Welcome! Are you doing it today?”
“Yes. Oh, bring me something for this kid.”
“Yes!”
You may wonder what he is doing, but Illyana is still expressionless and doesn’t say anything.
‘Um~ it’s like that.’
I know this because I’ve seen it a lot.
This is the type of person who stopped paying attention to their surroundings.
It’s probably because I’ve never gotten good results from paying attention.
“Now, what do you think we are going to do here?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Whoops… Look forward to it. Because it will be fun.”
At that time, the employee who went inside came out with two cards.
“Now, this is Adela’s, and this is what the lady here is afraid of…”
And as soon as the word lady came out of her waiter’s mouth, Illyana’s mood changed dramatically.
She is incomparable to the way she was after touching her face earlier.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that fresh blood flowed from her palms.
She hurriedly snatched her card from the waiter’s hand and said.
“Come on, kid! This is yours Let’s go in!”
When she forced her arms out, her Illyana’s foot dropped and the atmosphere disappeared at the same time.
‘Whoa. This is the hardest ever?’
I don’t even know where or on what principle she touched her mines, and the firepower of those mines is formidable.
But she has no intention of giving up.
The bigger the obstacle she faces, the greater the pleasure she gets when she overcomes it.
‘Come on, kid. Let’s find out who you are related to and what brought you to this point.’
As I enter the interior, taking light steps full of anticipation and breaking her curtains, I see familiar faces.
“I’m here!”
“Hmm… I guess it’s time to go.”
“Hey, sit down. I just came here to hear the story.”
“…If that’s the case.”
Maybe it’s because she usually gambles too much money. As soon as she saw me, she stopped the man who was about to leave.
A man with shaggy hair and a cigar in his mouth.

“Um… How much are you going to pay?”
“A piece of gold.”
“It’s an ambiguous amount… how about two?”
“Okay, then two.”
He is a man commonly referred to as a storyteller in back alleys.
If there is a story to be told even while raising the price, there is no reason to refuse it.
I’m sure I’ll tell you a story worth the money.
You can’t decide which story to listen to, and the price is set at the discretion of the storyteller, but no one has ever been dissatisfied with it.
“…But aren’t there two people listening? I have to give you four sheets.”
“Oh… Really.”
Thus, the storyteller finally got two more gold coins from me.
“Now then, let’s talk about the Sun Bridge, which has been rumored lately…”
The story of the storyteller began with the cards that turned so naturally.
