“I can’t stand the sound of lies any longer!”

Ttak-

As Aira snapped her finger, the sound of blood began to gush out.

The Plow Champion fell to the ground with blood spurting out of his mouth.

“Meueueuaaak!”

“Big, Big Brother!”

"Big Brother!"

Two large men suddenly ran out of the alley.

They were the Black Robe thugs that had run away earlier. Apparently, they were following us.

They patted Darzen\'s shoulder and arm.

"Big Brother! Are you okay?”

“Eueumaeuak- Mahooo!”

"Tongue, his tongue got cut off! She\'s a Magician! She used magic! You, you fucker!”

Nothing else could explain the situation.

The Plow Champion Darzen was part of the thugs. Everything he did earlier was for the sake of leading us to a hideout called the ‘Hideout\'.

Those who were deceived by his ‘good intentions’ would unknowingly follow him into a trap…

How many people had fallen for this scheme?

It might have worked on me as well.

However, I knew that this Champion was fishy.

I had already suspected him the moment he rejected my reward for saving us and claimed that it was the Champion\'s duty or whatever.

You should know that, in this rotten world, there was no one who would do something out of the goodness of their heart.

If such a person existed, there was a very, very high chance that bastard was the worst and most dangerous psycho. Speaking of which, there was such a psycho by my side…

“Don’t curse Tae-oh!”

Aira\'s hair stood upright. As she growled, the surrounding walls began to shake.

“Run!”

“Heuiiek! Heuoot!”

“Big Brother, let’s run away! We can\'t win against a Magician!"

The thugs fled with their backs turned towards us.

Ttak, ttak-

As Aira snapped her fingers a few more times, blood started spurting from their ankles and caused them to fall over.

“Hieeek!”

“Eu, oh, what happened? My, my ankle!”

Aira\'s precise telekinesis had sharply tore their achilles tendon. At this time, Aira spread open her palms. She did not seem to be satisfied yet.

Then, as she clenched her fist slowly, like gripping something in the air, tearful screams sounded.

“Geuiiik! My, my heart!”

“Heueu, heuoo- Air, I can’t breathe!”

It was clear that Aira would kill them. This was why I didn\'t want to stay with the thugs any longer. I knew that it was going to end up like this.

I had to pacify Aira.

“My Lady. No, Aira-nim, I think that should be enough. They have already lost the will to resist.”

“Tae-oh, are you saying that I should let these filths, who are eating away at the country, live?”

“But wasn\'t a Champion involved? There may be censure from the church.”

“It’s just the church. I am not afraid.”

I was, though.

Kkwaaaak-

“Gueek!”

“Geuook, cough, cough!”

As Aira continued to clench her fist, the screams from the thugs grew louder.

If things continued like this, after a few seconds, they would die.

The Order of Flames might send an interrogator for killing a Champion. Wasn\'t that a death flag?

In fact, the deterioration in relations between Aira and the church was also one of the reasons why her Royal authority weakened and she ended up getting hanged.

In a hurry, I had no choice but to use the special move I had cherished and saved up for Aira.

“Aira-nim, do you really need to get your hands dirty with the blood of such lowly bastards? Besides, tonight, you will be sleeping at my house.”

“Tae-oh, at your house? Me?"

That\'s right. It was already late. There was not enough time to go to the palace, so it would be better to just go to my house. However, the smell of blood was not easy to erase, which would be a problem.

“Tae-oh, didn\'t you always deny me coming to your house? Why are you letting me sleep there now?”

Uttuk-

Aira loosened her clenched fist and faced me.

Thanks to this, the screaming thugs fell to the floor like marionettes with broken strings. All three of them seemed to have passed out.

“Tae-oh, where are you staying? I was always curious!”

As expected, the thugs and the Champion were no longer in Aira\'s eyes.

“You will see what kind of place it is tonight. Come, I\'ll take the lead.”

“But first, let me deal with these guys.”

Beside me, Aira was extremely excited. She was like a small child who had received a wrapped present.

Seueuk-

I took out a small stick from my waist. It was an object that looked like a piece of dynamite, which also had similar practical uses, that could produce sparks.

Chiik, hwareureuk-

I struck a match against the wall and lit it up, then brought it to the rolled paper string of the ‘dynamite\'.

Soon, the stick made a whistling noise before setting off a firework in the sky.

Bang-

It was a signal that summoned Aira\'s Guards.

By analogy, it was like the buster call or the dispatch of 3 Admirals.

[T/N: I assume this is a reference from One Piece (anime)]

The Guards stationed nearby would come to collect the three men in less than a minute.

It turned out that I did end up using this.

This was very conspicuous and flashy, so I wanted to avoid relying on it.

* * *

“So this is Tae-oh’s house. It is smaller than I thought. It looks like a kennel.”

Aira saw my house, which was located on the central street, and gave it an evaluation, saying that it was like a dog house…

Of course, to her, calling it a dog house was without malice. It was simply an evaluation based on facts.

After all, Aira had never lived outside the palace since she was born. She had grown up only seeing tall buildings.

The dog house inside the palace was really huge.

It might even be bigger than my house…

If one thought about it, wouldn\'t this cause a revolution?

Since Aira might unknowingly say things like, “If you don’t have a house, you can live in the kennel,” without really thinking about it.

When I return to the palace tomorrow, I would need to reduce the size of the kennel there. I would also have to explain the size of the common kennels to Aira.

Fuck, there was always something to do!

The biggest problem I had right now was that Aira was looking around my house.

It was just a room with a bed, a few books, a closet and a stash of emergency food. It was not really an interesting place, but….

“Tae-oh, is this where you sleep and wake up every day?”

Aira was busy peering into every nook and cranny of this room, which was nothing compared to her lavish bedroom, as if some kind of treasure was hidden here.

… She wouldn\'t notice the basement, right…?

…Should I turn her gaze away?

“I didn\'t expect Aira-nim to be in my shabby place. Please wait a moment, I will serve some tea before you go to sleep.”

I didn’t want to let Aira into my personal space because of the basement.

Hence, I had always politely refused Aira\'s request to come to my house.

But one day, if Aira gave an order like, “I’m going to your house,” I knew I couldn’t say no.

Therefore, I had prepared a handful of high-quality tea leaves worth two gold coins and a teacup set worth five gold coins.

If she drank this now, she would quickly fall asleep.

Slurp- I had a little taste. The tea I brewed was actually pretty good.

“Here, My Queen.”

After boiling the tea, I entered the bedroom from the kitchen.

Morak, morak-

Something similar to charred soot was sending up black smoke from the carpet in my bedroom.

A strong burnt smell wafted into the air.

It was not just an ordinary smell, either. It was the smell of burnt flesh.

Aira then said to me.

“A dirty little beast was hiding in your bedroom, so I got rid of it. As I thought, you have to move! From tomorrow, you will live in the palace.”

“You burned-”

There was no trace of life from the burnt ashes.

I didn\'t know what it originally was, but it looked like the size of one\'s palm…

I felt dizzy.

The only thing that comforted my heart with chirps and barks….

Dalgeurak, dalgeurak-

I watched the shaking teacup in my hand and braced myself. After all, it was not the first or second time this kind of thing had happened.
