Seo-ah stood at the sink and rinsed her face with cold water. The cold touch on his face brought his dizzy spirit back a little.
‘Why the hell are the nuns lying to Aiden?’
Seo-ah thought deeply about the false smell she was clearly inhaling. So far, his lies and truth have never been wrong. But why did I smell a lie when talking about the past?
‘Is there something the nuns are hiding from Aiden?’
Seo-ah denied her thoughts. What could these colorful and beautiful nuns have to hide from Aiden? If it was Aiden that Seo-ah had seen in the meantime, whatever it was, if it was such a beautiful person, it was obvious that she would smile. Aiden is infinitely generous when it comes to beauty.
‘… What if it’s so bad that I can’t tell you? Or maybe a pseudo… ?’
Seo-ah was startled by the result of her thoughts and poured cold water over her face again. This was a side effect of the ability to judge lies. Making people suspicious by making them know facts they don’t need to know… .
And Seo-ah had scars about lies, so she could not easily overcome the problem that smelled of lies. Holding the sink, Seo-ah continued to fall into her thoughts.
That thought was broken by the sound of someone coming into the bathroom. Seo-ah felt something ominous from the sound of those footsteps, and hurriedly went into the last room and hid. You wouldn’t even know it was there when you squat on the toilet and lift your feet up from the outside.
thump thump.
click.
The person who entered the bathroom naturally locked the bathroom door. Seo-ah almost screamed at the anxiety felt from the ‘click’ sound.
The person who entered the bathroom immediately moved to the front of the sink and turned on the water. Seo-ah released her slightly anxious mind at that natural action.
I don’t know who it was, but it seemed that I was suspicious of the person who came to the bathroom to wash their hands.
‘But I wash my hands for quite a while… But why is there no sound of hand washing?’
Seo-ah suddenly realized that the other person had only turned on the water and did not hear the sound of washing her hands. Then I heard the small sound of the partition door opening.
‘that… You’re just a waste of water. I will… .’
Contrary to Seo-ah’s wish, the opponent quietly opened the door at the end of the toilet compartment.
Seo-ah trembled at the sound of moving to the next room while quietly opening it as if looking for something, and grabbed the bathroom door with one hand.
And with the other hand, he put his hand into the chest dance and pulled out a pistol. In the Republic, all women of a certain breast size carried a pistol in their chest dance. Even if there was no need, it was a kind of pride to be able to put a pistol in the chest dance, so most of them carried it.
Turning the pistol’s safety pin quietly, Seo-ah aimed at the door.
The opponent who kept opening the door finally opened the compartment right next to Seo-ah. Seo-ah quietly swallowed the saliva and gripped the pistol even tighter. Contrary to what Seo-ah expected, the opponent entered the room right next to Seo-ah.
Seo-ah let out a breath she had been holding back at the sound of her opponent entering the next room and locking the door.
‘It was just a difficult opponent to choose a toilet.’
Thinking that she had misunderstood, Seo-ah looked to the next room and bowed her head slightly and apologized. Then he put the pistol back into the chest dance. I was awakened by the feel of the cold metal on my skin.
‘But why don’t I hear the sound of taking off clothes or sitting on the toilet?’
With a sudden thought, Seo-ah hurriedly looked up.
And above, Andrea, who was smiling gracefully, was looking down at Seo-ah.
It was then that Seo-ah realized for the first time that her body hardened when people were too surprised. Andrea smiled gracefully and slowly climbed over the toilet compartment and stood in front of Seo-ah.
Seo-ah, who had hardened, had no choice but to stare blankly at him and tremble.
“Have you been in the bathroom for quite some time?”
Andrea smiled casually and asked Seo-ah.
But Seo-ah, whose mouth was stiff, couldn’t answer.
“I heard that Seo-ah can tell the difference between lies and truth by smell, is that true?”
Andrea rolled up her sleeve dance and tilted her head.
Seo-ah, whose body was stiff, forced her to nod her head slightly.
“Well… So, is it related to running out in the middle of our story earlier?”
Andrea reached out to Seo-ah with a smooth hand that had no calluses.
Seo-ah just shrugged and couldn’t resist.
“You know what I’ve realized these days?”
Andrea smiled softly and gently stroked Seo-ah’s hair. Seo-ah just looked at Andrea with terrified eyes.
“Women give in easily to pain. Pleasure, of course, but pain is a little more effective.”
Andrea whispered in Seo-ah’s ear and grabbed Seo-ah’s hair roughly.
“Damn!”
“Be quiet. Unless you want to run out naked like a prostitute.”
Andrea stopped Seo-ah from screaming, and then raised the toilet lid and pushed Seo-ah’s face in without hesitation.
Seo-ah struggled with all her might, but Andrea was as strong as a non-human. When Seo-ah, who had been drowning in the toilet, finally couldn’t breathe and drank from the toilet, Andrea raised her head.
“Breathe. It’s hard when you die.”
“Heh-Uhhhh… .”
Andrea whispered to Seo-ah, who exhaled harshly. Seo-ah couldn’t understand why the saint was doing this to her.
“Kurrrup-”
Andrea pushed Seo-ah back into the water with an expressionless expression. Seo-ah struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Right before Seo-ah’s breath passed, she was pulled up. Andrea threw Seo-ah into the water several times without saying a word after that, and as the time went on, Seo-ah struggled with the fear of death every time.
“I had a drink with Aiden and sent Aiden back.”
Andrea whispered quietly right next to Seo-ah’s face. Seo-ah furrowed her eyebrows unconsciously at the false smell in that voice, and then hurriedly opened it again.
“Hmm… . Smell takes a while.”
“that… That’s not it! I drank a lot of water!”
Andrea didn’t listen to Seo-ah’s answer, and threw Seo-ah into the water again.
“I am a saint who worships the Earth God.”
“Ugh-!”
“I … .”
After putting him in the water a few more times, Andrea released Seo-ah.
Seo-ah was no longer sick of Andrea’s words, because the smell of the toilet was worse than Andrea’s thick false odor.
All I had to do was put my face in the toilet full of water and spit it out. As I was trembling and vomiting, I felt Andrea’s hand holding my hair again.
“I… I can’t take anything anymore! Look at this. You are smiling!”
Seo-ah forcibly lifted the corners of her lips while tears were streaming down her eyes.
“Seo Ah-nim, do you know why our Protestant Church participated in this war of the Republic?”
“… Isn’t it because President Kim Ik-han wrote it to the devil?”
Seo-ah responded with a trembling trembling at Andrea’s hand gently stroking her hair, unlike before.
“President Kim Ik-han put the devil on it.”
“Yeah… good.”
Seo-ah raised the corners of her mouth while holding back her desperately crumpled expression.
“You better be careful, Seo-ah. In this world full of demons, it is no wonder whoever is obsessed with demons. Yes… ?”
Andrea smiled gracefully again and wiped the water off her hands by rubbing them on Seo-ah’s clothes.
“… Yes. It’s that kind of world. You always have to be nervous to not blame the devil… .”
Seo-ah was startled by the touch, but forced her body to avoid avoiding it.
“By the way, it would be better for Seo-sama to return from this place. Even though it is a bathroom, it smells a little.”
Andrea stepped back and stared at Seo-ah’s lower body.
“… Yes. I… I will go first.”
Seo-ah rubbed her legs and covered her wet pants from Andrea’s gaze. The smell of boredom came up.
“Always be careful not to hear the devil.”
Andrea’s smiling face as she walked out of the bathroom door resembled a saint in a fairy tale.
Seo-ah had to hold the toilet again and empty the water that filled her stomach.

“Hey shit! Stop it!”
As if competing with each other on my meat, I forcibly dropped Agasa and Lee Ji-soo, who kept pouring sauce on me. I don’t know why, but they both looked at each other and growled a while ago.
“Eat this.”
“Ah, Scarlett. thanks.”
Scarlett smiled slightly and offered the meat to me.
“And Agatha. I’ve told you not to raise your voice outside over and over again. Because we are nuns who worship God.”
Scarlett frowned, looking at Agatha.
“sister! But that little boy… !”
“The kid who doesn’t have a heart and doesn’t have a job is like a kid, right?! Hell Hell Hell!”
Seeing Agasa voicing her injustice, Lee Ji-soo shook her chest and let out a strange laugh. Seeing this, Agatha’s face wrinkled even more harshly.
I ignored the people around me and swung the Agatha-flavored meat plate for my own.
This taste melts in your mouth.
Even given the title of luxury, the taste was not lacking.
As they ate two pieces, the dining room door opened and the soldiers entered. The soldiers who looked around the restaurant immediately checked me and came towards me.
“Swordmaster. You have been summoned to the operations meeting. Let’s go together.”
Among them, a soldier with a thick beard on his chin looked at me and said:
“that… Eat some of this.”
There was still a lot of meat on my plate. I shoved the leftover meat on the plate into my mouth.
“It’s Huang Ming.”
The soldier’s hard face and serious voice forced me to stand up.
The place that the soldiers moved to was the Hall of Naeseong Fortress of Hanam. Inside the hall, knights exuding atrocities were seated in a row, and Princess Prata was sitting in the middle. And next to him was Kate with a sullen face.
“Anyway, there is a force that will stop us… Swordsman?”
Princess Prata, who was talking hard about something, looked at me and tilted her head.
“me! I called! From what I heard, he is also top-notch, so you should use it at times like this!”
Kate quickly raised her hand in response to Prata’s words.
“Hmm… okay. You, too, have a seat there.”
Prata, who was looking up and down at me, gave a small nod and ordered.
I looked at Kate with a bewildered look, and Kate pouted her tongue and smiled mischievously.
That damn bitch really.
Just by looking at it, he couldn’t eat, so he must have called me to stop eating. It was obvious that she was a really bad girl. I sat down at the empty edge of the table.
“Nice to meet you. Sword Demon.”
The unlucky-looking man sitting next to me greeted me.
“Me too.”
The pork I had left behind over and over again was blurred in front of my eyes.
“Then in the siege of the capital of the Republic … .”
People discussed the stories that were boring and incomprehensible just to listen to them with a very serious expression. I just nodded my head as if I understood every now and then and imagined putting a fist into Kate’s stomach.
“Then the swordsman also participates in this operation?”
It seemed as if my name had suddenly come out, but I nodded my head roughly.
“That idiot! Why are you nodding your head? no sister! Still, such an important mission for a non-imperial soldier… .”
“You were the one who brought the swordsman into this meeting in the first place. And your sister at the official meeting.”
“No, no matter what… Aside from such a dangerous mission, isn’t there something like that, he sucks honey in moderation and builds achievements?”
“Eponine.”
Prata pulled Eponine closer and whispered something into her ear. I wondered if it sounded like my story, but I couldn’t hear it from a distance.
“… okay. Got it! huh!”
“Then put the swordsman into the sword that pierces the heart.”
“Yes? Oh yes!”
He reacted to Prata’s words, but changed his words in a hurry at the stinging eyes pouring around him.
“Currently, there are no warriors beyond the highest rank in the Republic, so there will be no abnormalities. However, since those Styrumas seem to have joined, they must also have a secret secret. Stay vigilant to the end, clean it up, and then return to the Empire.”
Prata’s words contained a force that was hard to disobey. When Prata finished speaking, the knights bowed their heads and gave strong answers, and I looked closely and imitated them roughly.
After the meeting, Prata went out first. Following him, the others quickly ran out of the hall. I looked around, wondering if there was any food here.
“hey! you idiot! What if you do that!”
Suddenly, Kate came up to my side and pinched my stomach.
“You called me in the first place! Why did you call me! And what are you telling me to do with that woman!”
“Shh! Be careful, you idiot! Now Prata has come on behalf of the Emperor! And because it’s an exhibition, if you can’t speak well, you’ll just have a sore throat! What an ignorant bastard!!”
“Ah! Don’t pinch! It’s annoying that I haven’t eaten pork before!”
“This idiot is real! Are you just doing it? I need to ask some questions! If you don’t know, why don’t you just stay still!”
“what is that! Ah! Don’t pinch me… .”
He struggled to endure the momentum of the knights glaring at him from the side of the resentment that was rising at Kate’s ugly appearance.
“Whew! Let’s talk real! stop talking! Follow!”
“Where! I have to go eat pork! It must have all cooled down because of someone!”
“Follow me! I’ll give you something tastier than pork! Don’t annoy me! really!”
“All right. Princess.”
I hurriedly changed to a smiling face and followed Kate, pretending to be a knight.
“A real idiot!”
Kate looked back at me and shouted with a frown.
However, the corners of his lips were raised.
***
“It’s because of you!! This unfortunate looking thing! Why do you put red sauce that doesn’t even taste like that?!”
“What are you so afraid of flirting with this little rattlesnake! I don’t even have breasts, so I can’t even tell them apart from a boy! It might revolutionize you, so don’t be fussy! That Lee Ji-soo is wearing a scary revolutionary member!”
Jisoo Lee and Agasa raised their voices while arguing with each other. The sauces and food sprinkled on him made the table a mess.
Andrea returned to the room and tilted her head when she saw that Aiden wasn’t there.
“… Aiden-sama?”
“That’s an operational meeting… .”
“Operation meeting?”
“Yes. A soldier from the Imperial Army came and took him away.”
Scarlett avoided Andrea’s gaze and dried Agasa and Lee Jisoo, who were holding each other’s hair.
‘The Imperial Army… ? Kate… .’
“Vicky! A revolution for that little boy… !! What?!”
“oh! Andrea!”
The sauce that was in the hands of the two quarreling was sprayed on Andrea by Scarlett, who was drying it, and a red line was drawn on Andrea’s white dress.
squeak-
Finally, Andrea’s graceful smile broke.
