Chapter.4 Eyelids (17)
***
Chagak!
The Rakshasha gave the professor a smile as gentle as a hill full of daffodils and pulled out the dagger that was stuck on the table. It was strange. How could a dagger caked with blood look so good on that delicate-looking woman? I couldn’t take my eyes off him slowly stroking the sharp blade with his hand.
“customer. I mean, it’s a relationship. “Are we getting to know each other’s hidden parts one by one?”
Ting-!
When she flicked the side of the sword with her slender fingers, the blood on it fell off at once, revealing an eerily clean silver body.
“And since a request is also a kind of relationship, how about we each give the other an answer one by one…? to do?”
The professor began to calmly assess the situation with a drugged, dazed expression on his face.
‘He’s an expert. That knife… it’s very attached to the hand. He seems very skilled in dagger skills. At least it doesn’t seem like he got the master’s position by being a jerk. Medicine when coming in. And that costume and behavior. A little tension at the end. These are all devices to obscure the other person’s consciousness and take the lead in the conversation. Yes, this is a moon shadow request order….’
If you look at it positively, it is a device to maximize the group’s profits, but if you look at it casually, they are a group for which the name guild is a waste. What if it looks bad? They are dirty bastards. These are people who have to be on top when forming relationships with others. These guys are Roderick’s number one thieves guild. The means are low compared to the reputation.
“Would you like to ask that first question?”
Square –
Her fingers gently dug into my hair as she returned, and the dagger cut off the back of my head little by little.
“This is…”
“I looked at the wanted notice and it was drawn like a wild beast? I thought it would look a little better if I tidied up my hair…?”
Suddenly!
The sensation of a sharp blade grazing the back of my neck was terrifying. A very seductive threat.
“First of all, as the recipient of the request, I would like to know who you are. “Can you tell me about yourself?”
The professor was wondering how much to say and opened his mouth in a slurred tone.
“The name is… Professor. Twenty years old… “After the family fell, I was caught up in a war with Mute and became infected… I was captured by a wizard, but I escaped and came here.”
“Oh my. You went through a lot at a young age. War and infection. And the wizard’s collaborator. “Isn’t it great to be alive and not die?”
Square –
After trimming the back of the hair, do the side hair. Under her careful touch, the dull hair is cut off, and the blade grazes his temple. She continues with her next question as if she has no intention of taking my question.
“Then Professor, for what purpose did you come to this city and come all the way here?”
This is a question about the content of the request. Are you really planning on accepting requests like this?
“Wizard… I want revenge on the wizard… I need help to do that.”
The professor looked. Her eyes, reflected on the blade, took on a different color at the word wizard. She looked at the professor closely, straightened her hair, and smiled.
“Revenge is important. Um, okay. “Then shall we move on to the last question?”
Square-
Her stilettos had trimmed her bangs and were now shaving off her beard. Her fingers, like corn, were cupping one of my cheeks and shaving off my beard with precision machine-like movements. There was life in the blade that was pushed up as if scraping under the chin. A quiet life that I didn’t even feel until the moment it touched my neck.
“The last question is about our professor, since when did you start pretending to be drunk like this?”
“Oh no!”
Suddenly!
She didn’t get an answer to her question. Her dagger slit the professor’s neck as it quietly grazed the skin.
She wiped the blood off the dagger and smiled like the first time we met.
“It was a short meeting, but it was fun, right? Professor.”
Her slightly blood-splattered smile was eerily beautiful.
***
Rakshasha left the place after speaking. No, I was going to leave.
“Cough! Cough! Cough, you don’t have any hesitation, do you?”
But the voice of a man who was clearly dead coming from behind made her stop.
“Cough! Didn’t he say this earlier? Relationships are about getting to know each other. “Now it’s my turn to ask a question.”
Chii Iik –
The severed artery is reattached like a lie. The rope that tied his legs broke like a rotten copper cord, and only the thin thread that tied his wrists remained. Strangely, this thread did not break even when force was applied, but dug deeper into the flesh.
The Rakshasha covered his mouth and smiled with a bright face.
“oh. liar. “You have such an interesting talent, but you didn’t tell me about it?”
“Oh, I heard somewhere that there should be some secrets between a man and a woman?”
His tone was calm, as if his throat had never been cut. The Rakshasha felt his interest in the man in front of him slowly fading.
“Cook, cluck… Are you liking it more and more? So, I’m telling you, it’s better not to pull that thread anymore. “The Elder Spider’s thread is really strong and sharp, so it’s my favorite weapon.”
“Oh Elder Spider. You use expensive ones. “Somehow, it started to sink in.”
“is it so. So, be quiet…?”
Crumbling-
Crumbling-
Rakshasha was unable to continue what he was saying. One of the professor’s hands slipped out of the restraints as if in a lie. Hands down. Arms up.
The professor casually picked up the severed wrist and placed it on the cut surface in front of the guild members with their mouths wide open. From the cut part, muscle fibers protruded like tentacles and tightly connected the hands. After confirming that his wrist was moving
well
, the professor spoke to the other guild members and Rakshasha who had already drawn their swords.
“I’ll also ask you three questions, so listen carefully.”
Tap, tap, tap.
The professor slowly walked towards them, bending his neck from side to side.
“First, as a client, I want to know whether the members of the Moon Shadow Guild have the skills to cause enough turmoil to cause the main groups in the city, from the guards to the knights, to move.”
Sasak-!
“You’re showing your back! You idiot – clap! “Wow!”
Wow!
The thief, who was looking for an opportunity to rush in, struggled when the professor’s hand grabbed him by the neck, and soon he fell limp like a doll whose strings had been cut.
“If you refuse this request a second time! “I wonder if he knows that I, whose judgment has already been so distorted by this cruel treatment, could get seriously angry.”
Whistling-
Bwak!
The professor threw the man he was holding in his hand and broke the door on the exit side. The man, whose legs were twisted in strange directions, moaned for a moment and then went limp. One step. Now, if I stretched out my arm, the blade could touch it.
The professor’s steps stopped in front of the Rakshasha.
“Finally, I wonder if you are aware that if I get seriously angry, this shabby guild of yours will not only suffer damage, but may even collapse. Well, where can I answer? “Master?”
Crackling.
Upper body clearly exposed. A distance that would allow her to stab a vital point six times in a split second.
The professor’s provocative posture, with his arms spread wide as if to give him a try, put pressure on his hand holding the Rakshasha’s dagger.
“Professor? Even after doing something like that… do you think you can survive in front of me?”
“Hehehe. Think carefully, sister. I’m giving you one last chance because I like the way you cut my hair. It looks like he uses a knife quite a bit… I don’t know about you, but how many of the beggars next to me will be able to get out alive? “Do you think a guild with only a master can be called a guild?”
The professor bent down and made eye contact with Ranaya, who was smiling like a frost. The sight of him baring his teeth and threatening the lives of the thieves guild members was clearly a villain threatening a delicate woman.

silence.
A moment that feels like an eternity passes by and someone who can’t overcome the tension swallows their saliva –
Wow!
“great. Shall we do that?”
The sound of applause amid the tense tension almost made my hands fly out without me realizing it.
The same thing happened over there, and I saw a few people tripping.
‘Phew! It was a blackmail, but it worked!’
In fact, if we had faced each other head on, it would have been difficult in many ways. Because
tirring-!
[Honorable Soul: ‘Terrorizing the Lady… this is impossible. Although I have fallen, as someone who carries the honor of a knightly family, I am not fit for this!’ / I did something dishonorable. Due to the shock of discovering one’s evil side, one suffers the ‘rigid’ condition for 30 seconds. / If you commit dishonorable actions in succession, you will suffer from ‘suicidal impulse Lv. 25’ for 5 minutes.]
The red light on the status window started blinking a lot, and the moment I finally mentioned the life of a guild member, this message appeared and my body froze. . He pretended to be strong, but he only blinked his eyes and fluttered his tongue. What is suicidal impulse level 25? Wasn’t skill level 10 the highest in this game?
Anyway, because of that, I was in a state where I couldn’t fight these guys. I can’t believe you’re hitting a lady! It’s rude! ‘Apologise with your life!’ A message like this must have appeared.
“Um, then, client? Would you like us to move our seats?”
“well. “I’ve experienced this once, so I’m a bit scared of the position you’re recommending, right?”
“It might be possible. But wouldn’t it be rude for a woman to refuse to invite a man to her residence? “Are you hurt?”
She covered her mouth with her small hand, laughed, and disappeared into a passageway that appeared as one wall opened.
Whoa!
A mental breakdown sounded the alarm. Ignoring the sword-wielding guys around me, I only showed that black passage.
‘Dangerous.’
I could tell earlier when I faced him with a sincere intention to attack him. Even if it weren’t for the limitations of other characteristics, if I just stuck with her in this state, I wouldn’t be able to beat her.
‘Now the Rakshasha is completely wary of me. In that situation, he called me aside. To follow an unknown place and into the depths of an assassin of that level… Wouldn’t it be too risky a gamble?’
While I was hesitating, I noticed that the chat window in one corner was shaking wildly.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: What are you hesitating about? Even if I rush to you right away shedding tears of gratitude, it won’t be enough!
– Roru Drug: Go! professor! hurry!
– takealook: Take a step back from there now. From that time on, the community will be filled with endless posts about your raisin-sized balls and questionable sexual identity. I am serious.
– Holly: Me! I miss you too! It’s another woman’s room! I’m so curious!
– Nutria Gena: Please come in quickly! I’m getting dizzy!
“okay! Got it! “You can just go in!”
okay. Now that we’ve come this far, it’s all or nothing. Anyway, I don’t know of any other guilds other than here.
After thinking about it, the professor walked towards the dark passage that was wide open towards him.
***
The professor walked along the wall of the dark passage. Walk, walk, walk…
“Why is this passage so long!”
“Is that a secret passage?”
“Wow!”
The professor suddenly shook his fist without realizing it at the sound of a voice in his ear.
Kwasik!
The professor’s hand was badly broken, with a fist mark on the wall. I heard the Rakshasha’s laughter behind me.
“Oh my… it’s amazing.”
“Since when have you been following me?”
“Hmm… I’ve been walking right next to you from the moment you enter the passage?”
After all, he’s an assassin, right? I was quite nervous, but I didn’t even know he was next to me.
“Now this way. “There are many paths within the passage, so it’s hard to find it at night if you don’t see well, right?”
In the pitch black darkness where I couldn’t see anything, I felt the Rakshasa placing his hand on my arm. I was swallowing my saliva without realizing it, feeling as soft as satin. Her hand slowly traced down the arm until it reached the finger that was just playing.
“This is really… a rare talent, isn’t it? I’m also interested in the structure of the human body, so I’m studying it in many ways… This is my first time seeing a body as strange as yours. A body that is well-trained, soft, and heals quickly. “How can a body like this exist?”
As if she was really curious, she pressed the area around the shoulder blade, grabbed the wrist joint, and caressed the lat muscle.
[I can’t hold on any longer. This…. This is a stimulus that was not in your knowledge…. I can’t stand it….]
‘Do something! You’re in my head! ‘Try manipulating hormones or senses!’
Coming here was a mistake. The Rakshasha completely changed its attack method based on its previous reaction. From what I was good at to where I was completely weak!
Let go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go
In the darkness where nothing can be seen. The sound of thin fabric rubbing against each other stimulated my imagination.
“The body was created through a wizard’s experiment… I see that the magic response is evenly distributed throughout the body, so I guess you have also mastered magic?”
“Oh, yeah and what.”
“Wow, that’s rare.”
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Professor! Come to your senses! A conversation between a man and a woman is no different from a war without swords! If you get swayed, it’s over!
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: If you show such an awkward and immature attitude, you will be eaten(?)!
– professor: What should I do if my body doesn’t listen to me no matter what I want to do? And there is nothing without a spear knife! They’re armed with two big, vicious weapons! I have bare hands! It’s not fair!
– Noru Drug: There is no such thing! The powerful self-propelled artillery that your parents gave you too!
– professor: Shut up!!! Don’t stimulate your imagination!!!!
– Gunpowder and blood: There is no hope. From combat experience to combat power, there is no advantage in anything compared to the opponent. Calmly accept defeat and become the winner’s trophy.
“Hmm… what are you thinking like that?”
“A brief reflection on the drying and wear of the waters of the East Sea and Mt. Baekdu…” “
?”
Damn! I can’t come to my senses! Please stop clinging to me! No, stick with me more! No, that’s not it – Holy shit!
Click –
While the professor’s inner self was engaged in a fierce battle, she suddenly stopped walking.
“oh. Have you already arrived? “It’s a shame.”
‘I lived! I got through it! Look, Father in heaven! Soja didn’t give up!’
It was really dangerous. If there had been a little more delay, I would have given up and said, ‘Ugh! Sister, take me!’ I almost fell to my knees while saying that.
The door opened in the darkness and bright light poured in. Not the rotten air of the outskirts of Tobrunn, but the refreshing air that feels like your lungs are being purified just by breathing in it. The soft scent of tea flowing through them.
“This is… a teahouse?”
“This is a salon I personally run. You can get more information than you think at a high-end salon in the center of the city, right?”
She smiled softly and said she was proud.
