This isn’t the first time Jiho’s slapped Yiwon’s hand away. Yiwon looked slightly surprised, but he quickly adjusted his expression like it had never changed. “You’re here.” “Because you’re here.”

As soon as Jiho opened the front door, a gentle, clear voice greeted him.  “My child, you’re home?” “Yes, I am back.” Jiho pulled his mother, whose arms were spread wide open, into a tight hug.

Now that he has the cooperation of Mireu’s guildmaster, Kim Tae Yong, the investigation should go smoothly. Jiho asked with a much lighter heart. “Have you heard of the actress Lee Ha Yeon?”

Dressed in mourning attire, Kim Tae Yong looked as pale and chilly as a grim reaper.  As proof, a couple of people flinched when they saw Kim Tae Yong from afar. Kim Tae Yong, who doesn’t care how others view him, looked gloomily at Jiho.

Joo Yiwon typically sends a lot of messages. But when he’s busy, it’s possible that he can’t send a message in 24 hours. Since he’s such a busy guy. But… even though Jiho knows this logically, his mood instantly sank for some reason.

“For now, the three non-awakened ones should wait here. After all, I can put up a stationary barrier, but not one that moves.” Jiho belatedly came to his senses when he heard Cho Seung Taek. This isn’t the time to reminisce about the little matters between him and Joo Yiwon.

Although Shin Jihye usually manages the guild, Joo Yiwon is Chungram’s guildmaster. With Yiwon’s skillful negotiation skills that rival Jihye’s, Jiho was able to leave Alchemy of the Night with much better conditions than he had hoped for.

“Hoo….” Jiho let out a deep sigh. Yiwon, who was sitting next to him, quickly took Jiho’s hand and massaged it. Jiho left him alone because he didn’t have the energy to stop Yiwon, but for some reason, it made him feel better.

When Jiho woke up, Joo Yiwon wasn’t there. Yiwon shouldn’t have anything on his schedule today, so where is he? It’s not weird that he’s gone since he’s busy even without dungeon raids, but… Jiho feels somewhat at a loss.

Later, she realized that she doesn’t have even the right to be jealous. Because Shin Jiho’s last words are the reason Joo Yiwon desperately held onto his own life, despite his desire to end it. Even the time they spent together was all the divine blessing of Shin Jiho.
