“You could say that.”
This man was also splendid in appearance. With pale green eyes that reminded one of newly sprouted leaves, he swept back his long blonde hair and spoke softly.
“Since we’re now guild members, shall we introduce ourselves? I am Guildmaster Hajen, the dark one in front of you is Guildmaster Kite, and this little one is my cousin Tien.”
“You’ve caught me off guard by suddenly announcing your full names. I haven’t even said I’ll join yet.”
Upon voicing my opinion, the man known as Guildmaster stiffened his expression.
“You’re not going to join?”
“No.”
The sudden appearance and feigned concern of these people urging me to join the guild was very suspicious. According to Kite, he had declared hostile actions against the Balder Guild, which monopolizes power in this country.
Even if these people were going to oppose them, there was no need to drag me into danger.
Therefore, their goodwill was suspicious enough. Even if there was no better option right now, I couldn’t make a hasty decision.
There is no kindness without a price.
Excessive kindness or friendliness means there might be something ulterior or fraudulent, so I needed to be cautious.
“You’ll think about it?”
“I don’t want to.”
“You’ll regret it.”
Guildmaster’s warning sharpened his tone.
“Are you threatening me now?”
“I’m suggesting.”
He answered calmly, but I felt a hint of urgency from him.
Luella surreptitiously looked behind. Suddenly, she was worried about her safety.
It was too dark. Being with these strangers in this deserted night street only just now made me realize the situation.
“Your answer?”
I felt threatened by Guildmaster’s haste.
Luella decided to pretend to compromise for now. The decision could be made and pondered over after getting away from these people.
“Alright. Give me time to think.”
It wasn’t the answer he wanted, so Guildmaster’s brows furrowed. But without a word, he scribbled something on a piece of paper and handed it to me.
“It’s the location of our guild hideout. Come if you decide to join.”
On the note was a single address.
Then, having handed over the note, Guildmaster made an elegant gesture, touching the brim of his hat as a farewell.
As I looked at his face, slightly smiling, I recalled the moment when I first saw him and was captivated by his appearance.
For a moment, I was entranced by him.
But there wasn’t enough time to admire. He and his companions immediately left the scene.
‘I thought they’d cling more… or perhaps threaten.’
They didn’t seem like bad people, looking at them like that.
Luella could only pout her lips as she watched the departing people without any attachment.
“No, you just leave when you’re pressured? Maybe your mind would have changed if I had urged you once more?”
She had refused, but it was regrettable. Perhaps it was a phenomenon brought on by the loneliness of being alone.
The silence of the midnight seemed to feel even greater, perhaps due to her mood.
“No. It’s right to refuse the invitation to join since I don’t know what kind of place it is.”
To shake off her uneasy feeling, she looked down at the paper the man had written for her.
33 Linen Street, Ferrous Mansion, Moel.
Moel was the capital of the Curan Kingdom.
She didn’t need to look at the map to know where the familiar place from the game she had played was; it was automatically drawn in her head.
The time was already 12 o’clock.
The dark and quiet square instilled a sense of terror. She needed a place to spend the night immediately, but it did not seem like there would be any accommodation in this area to take her in.
〈You won’t be able to buy even a loaf of bread or get a sip of water.〉
Wouldn’t it be better to leave this place quickly? There would be many people who recognized her since she had lived here.
She looked down at the paper in her hand again.
The place she was in was a territory right next to the capital. It was a place you could run to in a few minutes in the game, but she didn’t know how long it would take in reality.
However, this place was not friendly to her, so whether or not the man joined an authorized guild, it seemed better to leave here and head to the populous capital.
Many people flocked to the capital, the center of a country. If she was careful, she would be able to find a place to stay without being noticed by Balder’s guild people.
Luella, having made her decision, immediately began to move in the direction of the capital.

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
