Seol's eyes immediately grew cold.

"Do you know me?"

Changsik immediately turned to his side to look at the person who had run all the way into the alley with him.

"I knew it! You guys did it properly!"

"I told you, hyung! You know I've been keeping watch at the northern gate! He just happened to come in at the perfect timing, so I came running to you!"

"Good job, great work!"

Seol didn't understand what they were talking about.

"Like I said, do you know me?"

"Ah, I apologize. I shouldn't have done this in front of a guest... By the way, haven't you visited Audenin before?"

"I have."

"Haah... So you really are the person that we lost last time. We have been waiting for you since then."

There was only one thing in Seol's head right now.

'They were waiting for me? Why?'

Seol refused to get himself involved in something like friction or fights between guilds.

Obviously, he would refuse requests that were even more trivial than that.

"Why were you waiting for me..."

"I will explain it to you slowly. However, you seem to have yet to find a place to stay. We have already prepared a room for you, why don't you stay there? It should be much more comfortable than wherever you'd stay."

"Y-You've prepared a room for me? As in a room to stay and sleep in?"

Seol's image of Changsik shifted from just a very detailed person to someone so intricate it was almost revolting.

"Yes. It's been vacant for a while, but we've been keeping it maintained since we didn't know when you'd drop by. Why don't we head there first?"

This was clearly a request one should refuse. How could anyone sleep comfortably in a room a stranger prepared for you? Especially when you don't know anything about their motives?

"You don't need to worry about anything. In fact, we're the ones who'd face a greater loss if anything upsets you. We've been desperately wanting to meet you."

"For now, I understand."

"Thank you. Jongseo, go to the room first with the others and make sure it has been properly maintained."

"Got it, hyung."

"Yeah, good work."

After the rest of the transferees left, it was only Seol and Changsik.

"Ah, is that woman..."

"A companion."

"We've prepared multiple rooms so there is no need to worry."

Even though there wasn't a problem at all since Karen was a shadow, Changsik had a satisfied look on his face as if he had done something for Seol.

"Aren't you cold?"

Changsik's clothes were way too light for the current temperature. Changsik nodded multiple times at Seol's question.

"Yes, extremely cold. So let's get going, the night air is way too cold."

Seol instinctively knew Changsik had a reason for staying behind.

Because if the purpose was simply to guide him to the room, he could have asked someone else to do it.
