At that moment, Lise and the others were tailing Kaine and the girl, watching them from outside the shop they had entered.

“That thief! She’s definitely trying to get the young master drunk!”

“Yes, Lise. I think so too.”

“But… didn’t Kaine order the drinks?”

At Skyla’s words, the two shook their heads without hesitation.

“The young master ordered the drinks, but that wench is definitely trying to seduce him!”

“Yes, Skyla. Kaine wouldn’t drink with a woman alone. He must be forced to drink.”

…But he seems to be enjoying it a lot? Considering Kaine’s personality, he wouldn’t refuse to drink with an acquaintance, even if it’s a woman.

Especially if she’s as pretty as the girl. However, Skyla’s thoughts couldn’t shake their self-justification.

They were glaring at the girl with such intensity that it was clear they wouldn’t listen to reason. No matter what Skyla said, they would just ignore it.

“So, what now? Should we barge in and stop them?”

At Skyla’s question, the two clenched their jaws. They knew they had no reason to intervene.

Honestly, even calling it tailing was a stretch; it was more like stalking. In reality, it could be considered a crime if the other party took offense. And now, they were considering interrupting just because the two were drinking alone?

Even with their self-justification, their conscience was pricking them. To Skyla’s question, Lise responded with a cold look at the girl.

“No. They haven’t crossed the line yet. Let’s just keep watching.”

“Lise, you’re right. But if they do cross the line…”

Eileen nodded, and Lise made a slashing gesture across her throat with her thumb.

“We’ll barge in immediately.”

With that, the three nodded and continued to watch Kaine and the girl from a distance.

.

About two hours had passed since they started drinking. Each of them had consumed around three bottles of alcohol.

In other words, they were quite tipsy. Hmm… Kaine seemed to be handling it well, considering he had drunk three bottles.

Given his past as a troublemaker, it wouldn’t be surprising if he could handle strong liquor. However, unlike Kaine, the girl was…

“Waaah! You jerk, Kaine! You’re always meeting other women! And you ignore everything I say!”

She was having a drunken tantrum, her face flushed. Hey, you said you weren’t drunk!

Before they started drinking, she had confidently claimed to be a heavy drinker, but now she was drunk and throwing a fit at me.

There’s usually one person like this in a group, but I never imagined it would be her.

But why did she get drunk? Honestly, when others claim to be heavy drinkers, it often feels like they’re just saying it out of pride. But the girl in front of me was different.

She was truly in a league of her own, and it was unlikely that she could get drunk even if she wanted to.

But that wasn’t the issue right now… While I was lost in thought, the girl hiccupped and shouted.

“Hic! You’re not listening to me!”

“I am listening. Please, just keep it down a little. Please…”

I wanted to indulge her, but it was difficult. While it wasn’t unreasonable for her to say such things, she was shouting too loudly.

Her words made it seem like I was a cheating boyfriend. The women around me were giving me disdainful looks, and the men were whispering among themselves.

“How can he have a girlfriend like that and still meet other women?”

“He’s just lucky. We don’t even know any women.”

“It’s kind of sad.”

“Come on, let’s have a drink. Damn.”

The men around me were looking at me with envious eyes.

“Hey, didn’t you say you couldn’t get drunk earlier?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? I’m not drunk at all!”

This guy doesn’t even know when she’s drunk. I slowly scanned the girl in front of me.

A strand of black hair stuck to her cheek. Her thick eyelashes and captivating eyes would draw anyone in. Her features were so distinct, she looked like a doll.

I was once again struck by her beauty. Even in her school uniform, her chest was hard to ignore.

I must be a little drunk myself. Normally, I wouldn’t have noticed these things, but with the alcohol in my system, I found myself seeing her as an attractive woman.

Well, that’s what usually happens when you’re drunk. I justified my thoughts as I looked her over, and my gaze fell on the bracelet I had given her earlier.

“Ah!”

Now I understood why the girl was drunk. Normally, even when she descended, her status would prevent her from getting drunk.

But as she had explained yesterday, her powers were significantly weaker than a typical descent.

While she could exert her full strength if she pushed herself, there was no reason to do so just for drinking.

As I came to this realization, I nodded to myself. The girl in front of me pouted and then grabbed my cheeks and stretched them.

“Ugh! You’re thinking about something else again! This won’t do. Let’s go somewhere else for a bit.”

She grabbed my hand, paid the bill, and led me out of the shop. And so, I was dragged off by her.

.

.

.

Soon, the two arrived at a lodging facility. The girl approached the receptionist with Kaine in tow.

“One room, please.”

“Yes, that will be 5 silver.”

Without hesitation, the girl took out the money Kaine had given her from her space ring and handed it to the receptionist. Then, she forcefully led Kaine to their assigned room.

“Hey, why are you so strong?”

Even though I wasn’t using any physical enhancements, her grip was so tight that I couldn’t break free even if I wanted to.

“No, it’s definitely because your hands are soft.”

Before long, we arrived at the assigned room. The girl opened the door without hesitation, turned the handle, and pulled it open.

The room contained a large bed that could comfortably fit two people, as well as a bathroom, some toiletries, and contraceptives.

As I looked around the room, a chill ran down my spine, and the alcohol suddenly wore off. I turned my head like a broken doll.

“Haa! Haa!”

The girl’s face was flushed, and she smiled shyly, letting out heavy breaths.

That expression… It was the same face that Kim So-yong’s saw right before he died of a heart attack!

Danger. My instincts were warning me. I had to get out of there immediately, or I might suffer the same fate as Kim Soo-yong in the game.

I swallowed hard and tried to leave the room, but…

“Kaine, where are you going?”

The girl glared at me with icy eyes and grabbed my arm. Desperate to escape this place that was both heaven and hell, Kaine quickly made an excuse.

“Oh, I was just thinking that Kage and Philip might be worried. You must be tired too. Let’s call it a night, okay?”

As Kaine tried to shake off the girl’s arm, she held on tight.

“No, you can’t leave. Stay with me tonight, Kaine♥”

The girl’s face was flushed, and her eyes shone with love as she smiled. A normal person might have mistaken her for a goddess, but to Kaine, she looked like a spirit beckoning him to cross the River Jordan.

Ignoring Kaine’s reaction, the girl dragged him to the bed and laid him down. She looked at him as he lay on his back, staring at the ceiling.

The girl’s face was flushed, and she licked her lips before speaking.

“Bon appétit♥”

Damn!

.

.

.

At that moment, the three people watching Kaine and the girl felt something amiss as they didn’t come out of the lodging facility.

Among the three, Lise was the first to lose patience and stood up.

“This won’t do. We need to go inside and check.”

“Yes, Lise. Something feels off.”

“Definitely. It’s strange. No matter how I think about it, there’s no reason for them to be in there instead of their own home.”

The three felt a sense of unease and quickly entered the lodging facility. They approached the receptionist without hesitation and inquired about Kaine and the girl.

The receptionist, intimidated by their presence, stammered in response.

“Y-Yes, they went to room 303.”

“Thank you for the information.”

Lise bowed to the receptionist in gratitude, then proceeded to the third floor without hesitation. As they reached the door…

“Shitttttt!!!”

Kaine’s scream echoed through the room.

“M-Master?! Are you okay?”

“What’s going on in there?”

“Could they be… doing it?”

At Skyla’s words, the other two’s eyes wavered. Just then, another scream from Kaine pierced the air.

“Aaaahhhh!!!”

But there was something odd about the scream.

It sounded like Kaine was struggling for his life. Skyla wasn’t the only one who thought so; the other two also wore puzzled expressions.

“Isn’t that… the sound people usually make during…?”

“I’m not sure…”

“That’s not important. We need to rescue the young master. There must be a reason for his screams.”

The others nodded in agreement. Just as Lise was about to open the door…

-Click!

…Why won’t the door open? Is it locked?

Lise, suspecting foul play, tried to break the door down using physical enhancements. However, despite her efforts, the door remained firmly shut.

“The door won’t open.”

“What?”

“Huh?”

Lise, an assassin, had used physical enhancements but still couldn’t open the door. Even if she was an assassin, she was on a different level from ordinary people.

It didn’t make sense that she couldn’t open a locked door, especially with physical enhancements.

Therefore, it was clear that one of the two inside had done something to the door. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the three used their powers to pound on the door.

Meanwhile, the girl, disturbed by the commotion outside, clicked her tongue in annoyance.

“Tsk! Annoying people.”

To ensure an uninterrupted intimate moment with Kaine, she had reinforced the door with her power. She had used more power than intended.

Time was running out. If she didn’t act now, she might miss her chance with Kaine.

Ignoring Kaine’s resistance, the girl tried to remove his pants with all her might. However, Kaine, determined to avoid a heart attack (or premature ejaculation), used physical enhancements to resist her.

“Ugh! Why are you resisting so much, Kaine!”

“Shitttt!”

Kaine resisted with all his might, but his opponent was none other than the girl.

Even if she wasn’t at her full power, she could easily overpower Kaine. As the girl prepared to exert more force…

-Flash!

A light emanated from her body.

“Damn it!”

The light wasn’t due to her exertion but because her time was up. In other words, her descent was over.

Seeing this, Kaine breathed a sigh of relief.

“Phew. Alright, go take a break and clear your head, goddess.”

“Eek! I should’ve conserved my power more! No, I can’t leave like this!”

The girl regretted sending the message she had sent to Lise and Kaine when they almost kissed. But it was too late to think about it now.

She couldn’t just stand here and do nothing. This might be her last chance.

After today, Kaine would surely be on guard against her. Determined to make the most of this opportunity, the girl turned around and embraced Kaine without hesitation.

She kissed his neck passionately, as if claiming it for herself.

“You crazy!”

Kaine was startled by the sudden neck kiss and tried to push her away, but he was too exhausted to resist.

-Smooch!

Got it! I’ve made more progress than those girls!

As she thought this, the girl disappeared. Just then…

-Creak!

The door opened.

“Young master, are you injured?”

“Are you okay, Kaine?”

“Hey, are you alright?”

The three spoke with concern in their voices. They turned their gaze to Kaine, and…

-Jerk!

…The three visibly flinched.

The reason was the vivid hickey on Kaine’s neck. The three narrowed their eyes.

“Young master? Did you…?”

“Now that I think about it, Kaine’s pants seem a bit loose.”

“Wow… He did it.”

Kaine couldn’t help but curse at the sudden turn of events.

“Damn.”

In a dark underground chamber, Andrew glared at the kneeling executives with murderous intent and spoke.

“So, Guy and Dain failed?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Hmm. How did they fail?”

At Andrew’s question, the executives remained silent. Their silence irritated Andrew, and he scowled behind his devil mask.

Their silence implied that they didn’t know the reason for the failure either. Andrew’s anger at their incompetence was palpable, and he released a killing intent that made the executives tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

“Even if they failed, how can you not know the reason? Don’t you have any guesses?”

At this question, Jade cautiously spoke up.

“I have one possibility.”

“Go on, tell me.”

“Well… David von Kaine apparently did a field trip with the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

Andrew asked, and Jade explained the situation. After listening, Andrew nodded in understanding.

‘Something is definitely off.’

Everything, from Kaine asking the Cult to investigate his parents to his field trip, seemed to be connected to the Cult in some way.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

But something felt amiss, like they were missing something. Andrew couldn’t help but click his tongue at Kaine’s meddling.

“Tsk!”

He’s getting in the way. I can’t tell if it’s a coincidence or not.

However, one thing was clear: if something was even slightly bothersome, it was best to eliminate it. There was no point in creating unnecessary variables.

With his decision made, Andrew slowly scanned the executives and spoke.

“Tell the member who infiltrated the Royal Academy to assassinate Kim Soo-yong and David von Kaine during the upcoming Royal Festival.”

The executives nodded and replied.

“Yes, sir!”

“We’ll await your good news.”

With that, Andrew disappeared from the executives’ sight. Kaine, who had narrowly escaped a heart attack, now faced another crisis.
