“Ah, I am sorry…”
“……”
Some water got onto Yujung, who looked around for a napkin. Hayeon handed her a clean cloth, and Yujung stared at her before grabbing it. She opened her mouth after wiping her face.
“Ansol, let’s talk after this.”
“It was not intentional…”
Ansol lowered her head at Yujung’s sharp voice, but she again began to stare at Yeonju Go. The Shadow Queen’s smile deepened At Ansol’s tense face.
“You know who I am?”
Ansol nodded, and Vivian repeatedly poked her on the side.
“What is the Shadow Queen?”
“I will tell you! Don’t poke me…”
Vivian looked like she was in a pout, and I thought she was still thinking of me saying that Yeonju Go was stronger than her. However, I was only telling the truth. From my experience with Yeonju Go in my past life, even if they went all out, Yeonju Go would still beat Vivian seven times out of ten.
Ansol began to speak in a small voice.
“In the User Academy…”
“They did not tell me such things there.”
Ansol shook her head at Yujung’s words.
“It’s probable, as I heard it in a theory class for priests, as my teacher was interested in famous female users…”
“Oh? Tell me what you heard.”
Yeonju Go looked curious, and her eyes were sharp like a falcon’s.
“I heard some of the famous female users. Eastantel Law Clan’s Clan Lord <Field Maestro>, <Execution Princess> who belongs in the same clan, and the mysterious <Shadow Queen>…”
I noticed that Yeonju Go’s eyes turned murderous on hearing the words, Execution Princess. It seemed that those two were old enemies, but I could not ask her about it now.
Yeonju Go straightened her expression upon noticing me and spoke.
“Yes, I am that secret class <Shadow Queen>. My name is Yeonju Go, and I am twenty-six years old. I’m currently single, and I would take on a man with kids if he’s the right one.”
She glanced at me as I spoke, I froze with my spoon in mid-air. I did not realize she would take revenge herself like this, as some members would have realized what Yeonju Go was implying.
It was then Hayeon placed down her water cup with a thud. That was unlike her, but her smile was still light.
“All right, then it’s time to introduce ourselves.”
“Right.”
Yujung agreed to Hayeon, and it had been a long time since I heard the two speak to one another. The problem was, I did not know why they were being so fierce. However, Yeonju Go’s smile was languid as she looked at them. I could see sparks in Yujung and Hayeon’s eyes.
They introduced themselves, and I watched Yeonju Go respond to them. She treated them like real kids, but her being the <Shadow Queen> made her attitude apt.
It was now Vivian’s turn, and she spoke in an unusually cold voice.
“Vivian La Clasidus. Rare class magician. I’m twenty four.”
Yeonju Go seemed interested in Vivian being an ancient resident here instead of a user. They stared at each other for a moment before turning away at the same time. Yeonju Go now looked at me, and she treated me like an equal.
“You’re a secret class.”
“Yes, you know that.”
“No, I don’t know your class name.”
I smiled at Yeonju Go’s question, as I did not intend to tell her now. While that information would be revealed when I established my clan, I would not tell her now. Also, while a slight possibility, she might guess what my class skill was from the name. Therefore, I was going to be careful. Yeonju Go spoke up again as I remained silent.
“Come on, you know everything about me. Isn’t this unfair?”
“No. You have lived here long enough, but we haven’t. Also, you probably guessed a lot of my skills.”
“No, I didn’t. Tell me.”
“No.”
Yeonju Go frowned. I noticed that everyone else looked like something precious had been taken from them, especially Hayeon.
“All right, don’t tell me. Since we’re going to be together, there will be opportunities.”
“Try your best.”
“There are other ways.”
I lifted my gaze to hers at those words, and she flinched a bit.
“If you use your <Alluring Eyes> skill on my party, I will act.”
“That’s not that bad a skill…”
“It’s more of a curse and may pave the way for other curses. I will think that our deal is off the moment you harm my party.”
My party members’ expressions now turned confident. They seemed satisfied at their leader going on equal terms with one of the Top Ten. I saw Yujung and Ansol nod.
“All right, all right. You win.”
She sent me a light glare, but I could see that she was smiling. Come to think of it, she may have intended for things to unfold like this. She could have been using me to assure others that she would not harm them. If so, she was blending in like a pro.
Yeonju Go and I negotiated the specifics afterward. She laughed when I told her the preparations would be at least two weeks and at max a month. It meant the motel would be closed for at least six weeks.
However, she did not seem to regret her decision. She even told us that we could use the three-story motel however we wanted. I welcomed the offer, as only the lobby could be used as a training site. My party members had to welcome Yeonju Go then, and I decided to ask her for one more favor.
I had no choice but to kill her if she did not join my clan. I would not force her but ask her for this one.
“I thought you may be bored while you wait.”
“What?”
“To put bluntly, I thought you could teach someone how to use a dagger.”
“I’m expensive. What’s the price?”
“I will pay you on seeing how much the student grows. I’m only asking, and you can refuse. I’m saying this because it’s rare to see someone use a dagger like you.”
Yeonju Go stared at Yujung for a while, and she murmured after a while.
“I won’t be bored, then.”
