Adonis had asked to borrow me for a day in exchange for helping Luna. Luna immediately jumped onto my back. “How dare you target my friend? You’re way more devious than you look!” Then, she bit my ear. Hard. As if she would never let go. “No way! Absolutely not! This one’s mine!” I wasn’t…

“Suspicious guy… Hmm. I’m not sure.” “In my opinion, the miners are the ones acting suspicious. You know how the iron ore supply is running low, right? Maybe they’re causing a commotion to raise the grade.” The information-gathering resumed. Tap, tap— Was it dissatisfaction? Or anxiety? Luna’s foot tapped against the ground somewhat roughly. “Hey,…

Late at night, in Baron Kelven’s mansion. Two figures walked down the long corridor. “Search more carefully.” “…How about you, our capable Principal, do the searching instead?” “I’m capable, so I have other things to do. This kind of task is your specialty, isn’t it?” “…” The two figures sneaking through the mansion were none…

A sudden announcement declaring the end of the exchange match. As if to prove those words, Pjol stepped back. “What? It’s really over?” “It ends just like this?” The atmosphere, which had been heated up, cooled down instantly as if doused with cold water. The instructors were no different. A perfect record—seven wins out of…

“Maintain your composure. What kind of disrespect is this in front of our guests?” “Sir Pjol, but those bastards—” “Ahem!” At Pjol’s sharp tone, the knights immediately shut their mouths. The instructors, seeing this, snickered. But their amusement was short-lived. “What the hell do you think you’re glaring at? Eyes down, now!” Lowell’s roar. Not…

Luna let out a deep sigh. “Haa… Of all times, you’re our instructor at a moment like this… This is driving me crazy.” “Huh? What’s wrong? Just tell me. I’ll help you.” “That’s a shame. This isn’t something a half-hearted worker can handle.” “Honestly, even if you told me, I wouldn’t help. Too much trouble,…

“Oh, right. I almost forgot.” One of the knights approached Dolores and loosened her gag. Ptoo! Dolores spat at him, but with a slight tilt of his head, the knight easily dodged it. “Good to see you’re still in good health. I was worried since I couldn’t check on you for two days.” “Bickerd…! Untie…

“Ugh… I’m gonna die. A patrol at this hour?” “Just hang in there a little longer. At least tonight’s watch is on the easier side.” “That’s true, but still… Caron is way too strict.” “We don’t have a choice. I heard we barely managed to capture any rats.” “Even so, using elite personnel like us…

Luna was on top of me. Bathed in the moonlight. Her usually neat, pale pink hair was undone. Her gaze was deep and unwavering. The subtle yet searing warmth of human skin touching skin. A pleasant fragrance filled the air, making my mind hazy. Dawn—a time of heightened emotions. A time when great histories are…

“Aah~ that was a good sleep. Guys, wake up quickly. We need to gather information!” Luna shook my body back and forth. When I opened my eyes, sunlight was streaming through the window. It seemed I had fallen asleep without realizing it last night. “Keke, how about sleeping a little more and starting in the…
