Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 384

Tirkanjaka, who had given up on questioning at some point and had been watching quietly with Yangsan on his shoulder… looked at Shay quietly with a serious expression.

She extended the silver knife that had cheerfully cut Shay’s chest. The knife, which was quick to react, barely managed to cut one piece of clothing. There was no blood, but it had served its purpose. That was because the knife was meant to cut Shay’s clothes from the beginning.

“Look! Look carefully, I cut it myself!”

Shay felt a sense of emptiness belatedly. Shay’s clothes were made of a type of fabric that was easy for her energy to pass through, because if they were too strong, they could become a prison that would bind her. The same goes for the opponent. The blade infused with energy cut Shay’s clothes without much difficulty.

That’s all. She was not hurt, and since she had reacted with Cheonban-gyeong, her chest was just torn. It was a result that was too shabby to be the result of a surprise attack. But… it was her chest.

“Hey, look! To our surprise, Shay, who we have always known as a pretty boy!”

She was hit at the most critical timing. It was just a matter of her clothes being torn, and that in itself was not a big deal… The real problem was that the ‘lie’ hidden in her clothes was being revealed.

Through the torn hem of her clothes, the Cheonjamsa Temple that crossed her chest could be seen. A bandage wrapped around the equator of her upper body, and below it, a round outline that revealed a clear presence.

Cheonjamsa Temple. A precious fabric that is strong and does not stretch easily. Shay, who moved vigorously during battle, used to wrap Cheonjamsa Temple around her chest so that her breasts would not shake. If she tied it a little too tightly, it would become a male outfit.

And the cloth tied around her chest seemed to be for that purpose only. It would be even more so if the curves of a woman were clearly visible.

“She was a woman!”

Hilde spread her arms like an actor in charge of the climax and shouted. …In some ways, even this is not such a big problem. It was just that she had hidden her gender. However, both Shay and Tirkanjaka knew that the trap of deceit did not end there.

“I’ve experienced things I shouldn’t have, I know things I shouldn’t know, I’m good at all kinds of secrets. Even you’re not that old, are you? And you even infiltrated Tantalus by hiding your gender? Why would you do that~?”

That’s why she had to be alone. There were too many dangers in being together. Not only if that person betrayed her and turned into an enemy, but also if that person was an ally. If an ally who had shared her heart abandoned her, or if they quarreled and parted ways in disappointment… Even if her body returned through regression, her heart would be cut.

“You all know, right? The correct answer is to hide the fact that she is a saint! Yes, Shay! She, no, she is! A saint!”

It doesn’t matter how she was caught. The most important thing now was the one person in this place who hated the saint the most and had a fierce murderous intent. Shay looked at Tirkanjaka with a firm determination.

At some point, Tirkanjakra, who had been watching silently with his halberd over his shoulder, having given up on questioning her… was quietly staring at Shay with a grim expression.
