## Chapter 82 – How to Tame an Explosive Tsundere (1)
***
“W-What… What is this…?! W-Why are my clothes…?!”
Ruirin had definitely fallen asleep in the car with Chaeryeong, on their way to a temporary hideout.
But somehow, all her clothes were gone, and she was only wearing a pure white set of underwear.
“Ugh…”
Ruirin examined her body, wondering if something had happened to her,
but there wasn’t a single scratch on her.
‘Maybe it’s because I slept so well for the first time in ages… I feel incredibly refreshed…’
Rather, thanks to catching up on sleep she’d missed while on the run, her skin was smoother than ever.
“I-I need something to wear…”
Ruirin looked around for something to cover herself with,
but sighed at the lack of even a simple jacket.
“Haa… T-Trickster-nim… W-Where are you…?”
Ruirin wrapped the thin blanket she had been using as a cover around her shoulders,
and carefully opened the closed door.
– *Creak*
“T-This place… It looks like some kind of cocktail bar…”
As she opened the door and stepped outside, she was met with a modern-looking interior.
A long bar table, a large sofa, and rows of liquor bottles lined up, reminiscent of a bar.
Ruirin cautiously tiptoed out of the room.
‘Is this… the hideout Trickster-nim was talking about?’
As she looked around for Chaeryeong, who had brought her here,
something like an animal’s tail wagging beyond the sofa caught her eye.
A tail covered in fine black fur, wagging softly as if in a good mood.
And along with it, she faintly heard a sound as if something was being eaten.
‘A cat? Here?’
Ruirin was drawn to the sight and sound, and slowly approached.
“Mmmwah…♥ Haaah…♥”
As Ruirin got closer to the wagging tail on the sofa,
the sound that seemed like something being eaten became clearer.
‘This isn’t the sound of eating… It sounds like a person…’
It was a sound clearly different from an animal eating.
Specifically, it was a woman’s voice, as if she was sucking on something.
As Ruirin, out of curiosity, got closer to the source of the sound coming from the sofa,
she also saw the figure of a man with a sturdy build sitting on the opposite sofa.
‘What…? Executor-nim was definitely subdued by the heroes…?’
At first, Ruirin mistook the sight of the muscular man with his top off
for Executor having returned alive.
However, unlike him, who had pale skin and seaweed-like hair,
the man she saw had neatly styled hair and healthy-looking skin.
Ruirin, afraid of being spotted by the unknown man,
crouched down and crawled on her knees towards the sofa.
“Nyaaa…♥ Mwah…♥”
Then, the woman’s coquettish voice grew even louder.
‘What?! What is it?! What’s going on…? Could that voice be…?’
The sight of a man with his top off and the woman making such sounds
clearly indicated that they were engaged in some kind of sexual act.
Even when carefully observing from an angle where she wouldn’t be seen,
only the man’s figure and the wagging cat tail were clearly visible.
She couldn’t tell who the man was,
or who was engaging in the sexual act with him.
– *Thump*!
Ruirin, who had been trying to secretly observe what was going on behind the sofa in a precarious position,
lost her balance and fell with a thud.
‘Ouch…!’
Thanks to hiding behind the sofa, she wasn’t seen by the man and woman on the opposite sofa,
but they must have heard the thud.
Ruirin desperately covered her head with the blanket she had been wearing,
curled up into a ball, and hid behind the sofa.
“Nyaa…? What was that sound…?”
‘Did they hear me…? W-Wait… That voice…’
Hearing the woman’s voice after the sound, Ruirin was anxious and lowered her head,
but doubted her ears at the familiar voice.
– *Thump… Thump…*
“Nyaa…? Why is there a pile of blankets here…?”
The moment Ruirin’s suspicion turned into certainty,
Chaeryeong, with a rather devilish smile, seemed to have recognized the identity of the blanket pile,
and threw the blanket away.
“Kyaaak…?! T-Trickster-nim…?!”
A wagging black cat tail and perky, fluffy cat ears.
A cute yet sexy outfit with a cat face-shaped hole in the chest area and a collar.
Ruirin was greatly shocked by the sight that Chaeryeong would never have even considered wearing before,
and her eyes darted back and forth.
“I was busy serving Master… I didn’t hear you opening the door.”
“H-How did you… W-What happened?! W-Why are you wearing… that?!”
Chaeryeong was definitely the same as before when they got in the car.
But Ruirin stuttered more than usual at her changed appearance and behavior.
“What’s wrong, Chaeryeong?”
“Nyaa? Ruirin seems to have woken up.
Guess what… She was peeking at me serving Master here!”
As Siyoon, hearing their conversation, walked over,
Chaeryeong wagged her tail and snuggled into Siyoon’s arms, rubbing her face against him.
“N-No… T-Trickster-nim w-wouldn’t do that…?!”
Always maintaining an elegant and gentle smile while treating her subordinates and colleagues,
yet becoming a major pillar of the Dark Knights with the subtle charisma hidden behind it, as one of the Four Knights.
Ruirin could only recoil in astonishment at the sight of her turning into a complete pussycat.
‘Is Trickster-nim… being controlled by that man…?
Then will I become like that too…? Is that why my clothes were taken off…?!’
Ruirin realized why she had fallen asleep with her clothes off and only in her underwear.
Seeing Chaeryeong, who had been so charismatic, become so submissive,
her mind was filled with the thought of ‘I have to run away immediately.’
“Kyaaaaa!!”
In the brief moment that Chaeryeong was hugging Siyoon,
Ruirin quickly darted her eyes around, looked towards the front door, and ran for it.
“Uwaak?!”
[Target: Applying body control to ‘Firecracker’ Hong Ruirin.]
“Uh-uh! Where do you think you’re going?”
However, Ruirin had already made contact with Siyoon and had the brand imprinted on her.
Ruirin, who was trying to escape out the door, collapsed on the spot due to Siyoon’s body control command.
“S-Suddenly my body… O-On its own…!?”
It wasn’t like she tripped or slipped,
but just a feeling that her body was suddenly moving on its own, regardless of her will.
Chaeryeong approached Ruirin, who was even more surprised and stammering.
“How is it…? The power of our new Supreme Leader… and Master.”
“N-New… What do you mean by Supreme Leader…?!
Our D-Dark Knights clearly follow K-Kaiser Supreme Leader-nim…”
Not only had her actions and appearance suddenly changed,
but Chaeryeong was calling a strange man she didn’t even know the face of her new Supreme Leader and ‘Master.’
Ruirin wanted to refute Chaeryeong’s absurd words somehow,
but the problem was that her usually timid personality and panic prevented her from speaking properly.
Moreover, she had only slept well, but hadn’t eaten for days,
so her ability ‘Bombification’ was nowhere to be seen, and even her will to attack seemed weak.
“When I first met our current Master…
I was also flustered like Ruirin… and tried to resist somehow.
But while receiving so much love from Master…
Ah! I engraved deep in my heart that this person is the true Supreme Leader and true Master♥”
Chaeryeong hugged Ruirin, who couldn’t even see properly and was trembling, tightly,
and confessed that she had also resisted Siyoon until recently.
“There’s no need to be afraid…♥ Nyaaat…♥”
Chaeryeong licked Ruirin’s face with her scratchy cat tongue,
wiping away the sweat flowing down her face.
However, Ruirin couldn’t hear Chaeryeong’s words properly.
– *Thump… Thump…*
All she could hear was the sound of the unfamiliar and scary man approaching.
“Ruirin… Are you Chinese?”
Siyoon, with a genuinely kind face,
mentioned Ruirin’s name and asked if she was Chinese.
But Ruirin, whose timidity and anxiety had reached their peak,
had completely lost her language function and was just trembling.
“Answer.”
“Ugh… Ugh…?! C-Chinese… H-Korean…”
Due to Siyoon’s body control command, her mouth was forcibly opened,
and Ruirin blurted out the fact that she was a Chinese-Korean.
“I knew it… Your name sounds foreign, but your Korean is so natural.”
Of course, Ruirin stutters whether she speaks Chinese or Korean,
unless she takes off her gloves and feels the urge to destroy when she has enough energy.
“Well… It doesn’t matter since we can get to know the details later…”
Siyoon gently stroked Ruirin’s cheek, who was in a complete panic.
“Hong Ruirin… You have to become my female as well.”
