## Chapter 390 – Unintentional Intent (10)
“What are you doing…!? Stop… Why are you doing this…!!”
Hye-ryung, who had been hiding and watching, was visibly flustered as their figures were exposed in the alley, drawing the attention of others. Just before she tried to shake off Yoo-yi’s hand that was pulling her.
“Huh? What’s this? A pretty young lady…”
A gangster, who seemed to have spotted them, spoke with a suspicious tone. Hye-ryung’s expression hardened, and she was about to pull out the needles from her pocket.
Perhaps sensing Hye-ryung’s other hand moving inside her cloak to grab her weapons, Yoo-yi gripped her hand even tighter. Hye-ryung looked at Yoo-yi with a bewildered expression.
The gangster approached Yoo-yi, who was simply smiling and making eye contact with Hye-ryung. He glanced at her for a moment, then hid the tool in his hand behind his back and repeatedly bowed.
“Aren’t you Miss Yoo-yi?
Thank you for coming again today.
And the lady next to you is…”
“It’s nothing much.
She’s a friend who’s staying with me.”
Yoo-yi’s infiltration skills, verified by Karla herself (?).
She never thought she would have to use this again, but given the situation, Yoo-yi glossed over it and nodded awkwardly.
“You came with your friend, huh?
I wonder if we have anything to offer you.”
“We’re just passing by.
We appreciate the thought.”
“Yes! Then please relax and enjoy your time here!”
From the days when Floras was a small, struggling brothel, to its current state of continuous development since Vivian started managing it.
Yoo-yi, who followed Vivian, had contributed significantly to the health of Floras employees, providing free medical care out of goodwill.
This wasn’t limited to the prostitutes; even the gangsters had benefited from her help.
No matter how low their lives were, they still had their own sense of loyalty. Plus, as men, they also had a bit of personal interest in dealing with a beautiful foreign woman.
As a result, the gangsters treated Yoo-yi with as much respect as they treated Vivian.
Hye-ryung watched Yoo-yi, who naturally exchanged greetings and pulled her into Floras, with a bewildered expression, but she had no choice but to remain silent for now.
“You probably have a lot of questions, but just follow me for now.”
Every person they passed in the brothel’s entrance, lobby, and hallway greeted Yoo-yi and wondered who the woman next to her was.
“Hehe… I’m glad to hear you’re healthy.
Oh, I have something to ask.
Do you know where Rene is?”
“Miss Rene is…”
“Ah, she came with a gentleman earlier?
I think she’s in room 412 right now!
They might be having a good time, so
make sure to knock first, okay?”
Yoo-yi vaguely trailed off her words and covered it with a smile. She openly asked where Ranie was and even got an answer. Then, she led Hye-ryung down the long hallway of Floras once again.
“Kazunomiya… what…
What on earth have you been doing in the back alleys…”
Was it more shocking to learn about Yoo-yi’s secret, which she couldn’t grasp at all, than to hear about Antonio’s new woman?
Hye-ryung looked at her with surprised eyes. Yoo-yi let out a small sigh of relief and shook her head.
“It just turned out this way.
Don’t worry, it’s not what you think.
I know, could I have ever imagined it would turn out like this… Haaa…”
The two women were getting closer and closer to their destination without any difficulty, receiving the utmost guidance instead of hindrance.
When the number [412] became visible from afar, Yoo-yi forcibly pulled Hye-ryung, whose steps were getting heavier and heavier.
“Ughhh!!”
The sound coming from inside made both women stop in their tracks.
“Just a little… just a little more……!!”
“Ugh… I can’t… anymore… Ugh…!!
More… More waist action…!!”
“I can’t either… Hnnngh…!! Aaaah!!
My waist… feels like it’s gonna break…!!”
The voices sounded urgent to anyone who heard them, and the voices of the man and woman sounded strangely sensual.
Hye-ryung, startled by this, covered her ears as if she had heard something she really shouldn’t have, and ran away somewhere.
“Hye-ryung! Ah… No…!!
Wait a minute!! She’s gone……”
Yoo-yi tried to catch Hye-ryung, who was running away like the wind, but realizing that she couldn’t catch Hye-ryung, who was determined to escape, she started walking forward with big strides.
‘Everyone is so clueless…
Antonio too…!!
I wanted to think positively because he’s Karla’s brother!!’
In the end, she stood in front of room 412, raised her hand to the doorknob from which painful moans were heard, and the very moment she threw it open and shouted!!
“Eheheheh!! Just a little more…!!”
“What are you two doing…!!”
The look in Yoo-yi’s eyes, which had been full of anger for the first time in a while, met the eyes of the people inside, and her expression soon turned blank.
“Huh? What? Why is Yoo-yi here?”
The room was a mess as if it had been hit by a bomb, the window frame was smashed, and shards of glass were scattered everywhere.
In the middle of it all, Antonio, with Ranie on his shoulders, her arms stretched towards the sky, barely peeked his head above Ranie’s plump thighs to check on Yoo-yi, and then hurriedly shouted and called out to her.
“Why is Lady Yoo-yi here…
Anyway, it’s good you’re here!
Can you hold this for a second?”
“Eh… Eeeeeeh……?”
.
.
.
“Floras… It was an extension of the on-site investigation…?”
“What else would it be?
Do you have something else in mind?”
There was an indescribable awkward atmosphere between the two women who were standing against the wall of the room, where all sorts of furniture were smashed.
One thought she had caught someone in an affair but had made a false move, and the other seemed to have a rough idea of what had caused the commotion.
“What about the meal?”
“The timing is about right, isn’t it?
I guess I was the one who suggested we eat first.
But then she asked me to cooperate with the investigation?
In that sense, she said she’d pay, so let’s eat first?
Anyway, I had to go with her to get her in.
Vivian told me to cooperate as much as possible.
She said that’s the only way to get Floras’ business suspension lifted early.”
“Then… what about the street stall…?”
“That’s the Swallow Faction’s stall, isn’t it?
I was walking by and the Swallow Faction guys started talking to me.
So I stopped by for a bit to buy something, and there happened to be someone next to me?”
Yoo-yi, standing next to Ranie and listening to her story, looked at Antonio, who was bending over in front of her and rummaging through the messy room, and let out a small sigh.
“This is worth looking into.
I thought there would be something above.
Regulus. Is there anything there too?”
– Piiyak!!
Earlier, they were doing that to carry each other on their shoulders in order to bring down something on the high corner of the wall that Regulus couldn’t reach.
From the start, they were both stretching as much as they could, so they couldn’t help but moan as they did their best.
“Hehe… Actually, I could have just kicked the wall and jumped up…
But I’m supposed to be a modest Madam Rene right now, aren’t I?
So I pretended to be as weak as possible, you know?”
Ranie whispered in a way that Antonio couldn’t hear. In fact, she had already demonstrated her superhuman strength when fighting the masked man of unknown identity, but Yoo-yi, who didn’t know that, just looked at her with a lukewarm expression.
‘The sounds were too lewd…
Anyone who heard it would think they were really doing it……!!
Ugh… I don’t know……’
If things had gone as expected, she would have been witnessing a spectacle of naked bodies in this room right now, but when reality struck, it didn’t turn out the way she thought it would.
The fact that she was now directly witnessing Antonio diligently collecting and picking up some unknown fragments in front of her made it impossible for Yoo-yi to doubt her words any further.
“Then what about Hye-ryung…”
“Huh? Who?”
“It’s… It’s nothing!”
In the end, it turned out that they were just in a relationship because of work, nothing more and nothing less.
Leaving Enic’s worries aside, there was actually nothing to worry about in the first place.
Yoo-yi was flustered and regretted suspecting her, and couldn’t help but regret her past overreaction.
“You came for a checkup today, right?
I’ll call the kids later!!”
“Y-Yes…! I’ll be in the usual room…”
With that, Yoo-yi left the room, and in the end, only the two men and women were left in the room again.
“She must have had an interesting misunderstanding.
Lady Yoo-yi is Karla’s best friend.
She might have been worried that I would go down the wrong path for her sister’s sake.
In many ways… I have some idea of what she was thinking.”
“Hmm… but……
Yoo-yi’s words are true…
I’m also a woman who works in a brothel…
Other people might misunderstand me like that, right?
After all, Antonio is a noble from Barmhausen?
So… I guess it’s better to refrain from doing that, right?”
Before Ranie could finish her words, which trailed off awkwardly.
Antonio picked up a piece of paper from the floor with tweezers and put it in a glass bottle. At the same time, he answered her words as if cutting them off.
“In Barmhausen, nobles are no different from honorary titles.
They don’t have the absolute power they have in Groden.
If you think about it, my father, Lord Sterben, was a noble, but my mother and my sister’s mother were commoners.
Nevertheless, the two were connected by love and received many blessings.
While my father faithfully protected the family, my mother faithfully protected the home.
Isn’t that how it is, with each gender having their own role?”
“Still…”
“What others think is secondary.
I have never thought that you are a bad person.
I saw Lady Ranie working hard today, even if it was only for a short time.
She was faithful to her duty and fulfilled her role.
She wanted to do her best to make the other person happy.
I think Lady Ranie is a wonderful person.
I guarantee it in the name of Antonio von Sterben.”
Ranie, who was momentarily speechless as she listened to Antonio’s sincere words, lightly nodded and burst out laughing.
At some point, she herself might have thought so too.
She met Enic and entrusted her body to his tentacles, and since then, she had been able to enjoy the ultimate pleasure that a woman could enjoy almost every day.
But apart from that, she couldn’t help but feel skeptical about herself.
No matter how bad of a delinquent she was, and even though she was sometimes brazenly confident, Ranie was still a girl going through a confusing time.
Entangled in the tentacles of an inhuman being, receiving the thick fluid into her body, a lewd girl who burst into happy tears with those tentacles that had no warmth even when hugged tightly.
If others saw such a girl, they would surely point fingers at her.
She had already become such a person.
She could no longer go back to the way she was before.
Perhaps she needed something to cling to in order to forget that fact, making excuses and clinging to it even more.
More lewdly. More strongly. More loyally.
Listening to Vivian’s story of how she had no place to be, she cheered her on and praised her, perhaps because she saw her own image reflected in Vivian’s.
But even though Vivian had received some help, she eventually stood up on her own and gained her own power and influence.
In the midst of all this, Ranie herself had not accomplished anything in particular.
‘I am… ’
Ranie’s eyes, recalling the past, were slowly sinking.
