Chapter 34: Lazy, Get Involved (4)

“Oh, ma’am?”

Seomun Da-yeon's eyes widened.

Auntie! Auntie!

She is a virgin who hasn't even reached the age of maturity yet! How can you call a virgin an auntie?

This was a disgrace.

“Auntie!”

“Okay, get out of the way. It’s so heavy I’m dying.”

Only then did Seomun Da-yeon realize what kind of situation she was in. She had covered the mouth of the man lying underneath her and buried her head in his chest, so she was almost half-embracing him and was on top of him.

Seomun Da-yeon, whose ears turned red in an instant, took a step back.

“Okay.”

The man raised his upper body and patted his lower back as if it was sore.

“I was sleeping soundly when this happened.”

A look of annoyance appeared on the man's face.

Of course, Seomun Da-yeon could fully understand the man's feelings. Even she would not feel good if someone suddenly appeared while she was sleeping soundly, covered her mouth, and strangled her.

To be exact, it seemed like I felt infinite hostility towards the other person, beyond just feeling bad.

"sorry."

It was unpleasant to be called an auntie, but it was right to apologize since she was the one who made the mistake first. Born and raised in a prestigious family, she had been taught to be very polite.

“What is going on?”

“……Of course I should explain, but I don’t think the current situation is conducive to explaining.”

While talking, Seomun Da-yeon looked at the man's appearance.

The clothes he was wearing were ordinary plain clothes, nothing special. What caught her eye was the man's face.

'How on earth am I supposed to take this?'

handsome.

He is definitely handsome.

Of course, he wasn't good enough to bring in legendary beauties like Song Ok or Ban An, but he had a handsome face that would make you turn your head and look back at him if you happened to pass him on the street.

But what if that handsome face is covered in drool stains and dried eye boogers?

Aren't the words "beauty" and "ugliness" usually not compatible?

While Seomun Da-yeon was wondering how to interpret the man in front of her, the man stretched.

“Haam.”

The man, stretching his body, stared at Seomun Dayeon and asked.

“Aren’t you going?”

“Yes? Are you going?”

“Shouldn’t you be going now that you’re done with your work?”

Yeah, that's true.

But that is… … .

“What about Confucius?”

“Me?”

The man chuckled.

“I just woke up, so I should finish sleeping.”

Seomun Dayeon's face hardened slightly.

'It's dangerous.'

Even if she passed by without being noticed now, if she continued to be undiscovered, there was a high probability that those who had been chasing her would return.

I managed to fool them this time, but when they come back, they will look around more carefully. So even if I were here, there was a high chance that I would be caught.

What if it is discovered?

Die.

Those who pursued her were heartless. They were not the kind of people who would spare someone who was not related to them.

Then, the man in front of you will suffer misfortune while sleeping without any sins. This is because Seomun Da-yeon brought them here.

'no.'

Seomun Da-yeon couldn't stand to see that.

“It’s dangerous to stay here.”

“Huh?”

The man tilted his head as if he didn't understand English.

"why?"

Seomun Da-yeon couldn't help but sigh.

Are you saying that you still don't understand the situation even though you just saw and heard that?

“There are people chasing me.”

“You’re not chasing me.”

“They won’t spare anyone who stands out.”

“As long as you don’t get noticed, that’s fine.”

“It’s not easy. Considering their inaction…….”

“You weren’t caught earlier.”

The veins on Seomun Dayeon's forehead began to appear.

I'm not saying anything wrong, but something keeps bothering me. Is it because of the tone or the content? As we're having a conversation, something inside me keeps making me feel upset.

But now was not the time to feel that way. Time was running out.

“It’s just a fluke. If you stay here, Confucius won’t be able to see the sun rise tomorrow morning.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the sun rise in my life.”

“…….”

Seomun Da-yeon, who didn’t know that what the man was saying was not a joke but the truth, couldn’t help but bite her lips tightly. It was true that she had caused harm, but she thought that the man’s sarcasm was going too far.

But she suppressed her anger again and asked.

“Follow me. This happened because of me, so I will take responsibility. I will help you get out safely.”

“Can’t I just stay here?”

“Yes. No.”

The man frowned. The man, who seemed to be about to protest something more, sighed deeply when he saw Seomun Da-yeon’s stern expression.

“I don’t know why bullies are like this.”

“Although the situation is funny… I would like to formally introduce myself. My name is Seomun Da-yeon of the Seomun Se-ga family.”

Seomun Da-yeon, who had lightly taken the lottery ticket, looked at the man quietly. The man stared blankly at her as if asking why she was looking at him like that, then he sighed softly and answered as if he realized the meaning.

“It’s Wei Yan Ho.”

The man who identified himself as Wi Yeon-ho seemed very dissatisfied.

Wi Yeon-ho, grumbling and stuffing a blanket into his bundle, came down from the tree and followed Seomun Dayeon.

“Why were you sleeping in a place like that?”

“I hate sleeping on the floor.”

That's not what I meant when I asked…

I've been answering questions well since a while ago, but I have a strange feeling that I'm answering the same question over and over again.

“Why are you here in the mountains at this hour of the night?”

“What about you?”

Wi Yeon-ho concisely retorted with the fewest words, “You too are in the deep mountains at this hour of the night, so why are you asking such detailed questions?”

“I have work to do.”

“I was walking down the street.”

“……Are you saying that you climbed the mountain without even noticing the sun setting?”

“That’s not it.”

"sure?"

“I slept.”

“…….”

Wi Yeon-ho was only telling the truth, but unfortunately, Seomun Dayeon could not understand his truth.

Seomun Da-yeon interpreted Wi Yeon-ho's answer as something like, 'I have some circumstances that I cannot reveal in detail, so let's just keep our mouths shut and go our separate ways,' and kept her mouth shut and took the lead.

Now that I think about it, now wasn't the time to be talking about such trivial things.

'There's a lack of tension.'

She was not yet completely out of danger. Considering who was chasing her now, she could not rest easy until the very end.

Seomun Da-yeon turned her head slightly and looked at Wi Yeon-ho who was following her.

The way he walks with a languid manner is reminiscent of annoyance.

“Confucius.”

"yes?"

“Could you please walk a little more quietly?”

“Wouldn’t it be louder if we were talking now?”

“That must be true.”

Seomun Da-yeon, speechless, turned her head again. It seemed best to avoid talking to this person as much as possible.

"however……."

"yes?"

But Wei Yanhu did not let her go so easily.

“Who were those guys chasing me earlier?”

“It’s better if you don’t know.”

“Huh?”

Wi Yeon-ho started clicking his tongue.

“Be honest with me. What did you steal?”

"yes?"

Seomun Da-yeon, with a bewildered expression, turned her head towards Wi Yeon-ho.

“Stealing?”

“If you’re someone being chased by someone else in the middle of the night, you’re usually… uh, well….”

“A thief?”

“Wow, that’s something I couldn’t express in words, but now that you’ve told me in advance, I feel a little better.”

Seomun Da-yeon closed her eyes slightly and drew a sign of patience in her mind. She didn’t know if she could avoid murder if she drew a sign of patience three times, but she felt like she could avoid leaving the man in front of her right now.

“I am a member of the Sungchun Jeongmu Alliance and I am currently on a mission.”

"oh?"

Wi Yeon-ho scratched his head.

This thing keeps getting tangled up with Jeongmu-myeong?

Of course, the political alliance is not a bad place, so there is no reason why it should not be entangled, but I really hate places where such accidents occur. If possible, it would be better for both parties to not get entangled.

“I want to believe you, but…….”

Seomun Da-yeon let out a deep sigh.

“There is no way to prove me now. But if Confucius ever meets those who are pursuing me, he will know with his own body, not just with words, that what I say is true.”

“Hmm, that’s a bit scary.”

Wi Yeon-ho shivered.

Seomun Da-yeon bit her lip slightly as she watched Wi Yeon-ho's whining. She didn't know how serious the current situation was. Of course, it was also Seomun Da-yeon's fault for not explaining everything in detail, but it was also frustrating that Wi Yeon-ho didn't react at all even though Seomun Da-yeon was showing such seriousness.

'You shouldn't think like that.'

In fact, Wi Yeon-ho is a victim who got caught up in her work for no reason.

If you know the way and the degree, you should feel sorry for Wei Yanhu, and not blame Wei Yanhu.

“But who did you say were the people chasing you?”

“Please lower your voice.”

“That’s not difficult, but I think we need to know who is chasing us.”

Seomun Da-yeon frowned at Ami.

It was not because Wei Yanho asked such a pointless question, but because he was worried about whether he should tell them who they were.

Even though Wi Yeon-ho was an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts, he would have heard the names of those who were chasing her right now, and if so, he could have been scared in an instant.

Being scared may make you more cautious, but it also makes you more nervous and more likely to make mistakes.

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“…….”

"really?"

Seomun Da-yeon threw away her worries.

It was decided that it would be a hundred times better to just say something and take away Wei Yanho, who was scared and kept his mouth shut.

'You have to be born normal!'

How can a man be so weightless?

Compared to that man from the Zhuge family, he was not even a man.

“Those who are chasing us…….”

“People?”

“They are people from the Demonic Cult.”

"……to?"

Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.

“The Demonic Cult? The Demonic Cult has been destroyed, hasn’t it?”

“Yes. They are the remnants of the fallen demonic sect.”

In fact, it would be inappropriate to say that the sect was destroyed, but there was no need to tell Wei Yanhu that. Wei Yanhu would be terrified just by hearing the name of the Demonic Cult.

“Then we’re in trouble.”

“I told you earlier. This is serious.”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

"yes?"

Wi Yeon-ho took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

“Why am I so unlucky?”

“……I’m sorry.”

It is easy to imagine how terrifying it would be for someone to get caught up in something with the Demonic Cult.

“No, that’s not it.”

“Then what are you saying?”

“I don’t know what sins I committed in my past life that I have to wake up and get involved with the Demonic Cult. Hey, let’s go. My neck is going to fall off.”

“Your neck?”

Seomun Da-yeon had no idea what Wi Yeon-ho was talking about. But her feet instinctively stopped.

“Ugh, what bad luck.”

Wi Yeon-ho looked around and opened his mouth.

“Come out now. I know who you are.”
