"I see. So you girls were invited by some famous adventurers to help them deal with demons" Sung-Rae said with a blank expression. The place was silence, everyone holding their breaths for Sung-Rae's reaction.
It wasn't long ago when he was devastated about losing Yoon-Ae and now he was about to lose two more or three if Mi Do includes herself. Sung-Rae's harem was going down the drown.
😄Sung-Rae: Narrator, what are their thoughts? Do they want to go?
😒Narrator: I'm not really sorry to break this to you, yes they do want to go with those guys.
😄Sung-Rae: I see.
😧Narrator: That's it?!!
😬Sung-Rae: What?! I'm trying to be a real man, a grown man and here you are, destroying everything!!
🙍Narrator: Mr real man grown man, please stop, it doesn't fit you at all.
😭Sung-Rae: You're the worst!! I hate you!!
(Blackout)
😌Narrator: I'm not going to coax him.
"Sung-Rae?" Jin-ah said. Sung-Rae looked up at her with a devastated look. Sung-Rae swallowed hard, covering up that look which he knew would worry his friends.
"Nothing. Is nothing. Anyway," he turned to look at Chae Eun and Ha Ji, "You girls can do whatever you want. If you want to go, then you can go. Is your choice"
"We do want to go Sung-Rae, but we also....." Chae Eun and Ha Ji looked at each other before they looked back at Sung-Rae, "You're important to us and your opinion also matters to us" Sung-Rae gave a fake smile which everyone noticed before he said, "Okay, anyway, let's talk about something else" Sung-Rae sniffed and wiped his eyes.
"So, there's a dying village" Sung-Rae said. Ha Ji's expression changed, looking at Sung-Rae with a questioning look. "But, didn't you guys go out to find out about the queen of Love City?"
"Yes. Devi found us someone who was close to the queen of Love City and so we went to find him" Jin-ah answered. Chae Eun and Ha Ji turned to look at Devi, "How did you do it?"
"I have my ways" Devi answered. "Her answer is always the same" Sung-Rae said. "Anyway, the man was a person investigator of the queen of Love City. But he won't help us until we help him solve the dying village problem"
"And what's making the village die?" Ha Ji asked.
😧Sung-Rae: I also want know Narrator. What is making the village sick?
(No answer)
😬Sung-Rae: Hey! Narrator! answer me will you!! Aren't you my Al?!!
😠Narrator: I've had enough. How about this, you can ask me anything you want when you begin the investigation, huh? What do you say?
😌Sung-Rae: Deal. I don't like it but I agree.
😠Narrator: As if I care. Tsk.

"Where were you? everyone was so worried about you?" Jong exclaimed, trying to control his breathing. A smile spread on Mi Do's lips. She was having such a bad day but now she felt it was all worth it. "So, you were worried about me" she asked. Jong's breath caught in his throat and he immediately turned back.
"Let's go, everyone is waiting" he said and began to walk back to the inn they were staying at. Mi Do's smile grew wider and she ran after Jong, saying, "Wait for me!!"
Reaching beside Jong, she took hold of his hand and Jong said nothing. Mi Do thought the was progress. Jong would usually slowly remove her hand from his but this time, he did nothing.
😆Narrator: Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
😄Mi Do: Thank you so much!

"We don't know yet. We only know the first man had rotten mushrooms grown on his whole body before he died" Devi answered Ha Ji's question. Ha Ji nodded while Chae Eun chose to speak. "That's disgusting" she said and Sung-Rae replied, "Tell me about it"
"Jong, you were in the first victim's house. Did you find out anything? Was anyone suspicious?" Jin-ah asked totally forgotten Jong was out but then, that was actually when Jong and Mi Do chose to come in. They entered with everyone except Ha Ji and Chae Eun looking at them. They knew Mi Do was back but they didn't even share the slightest care because they were still angry with her about what happened.
Mi Do let go of Jong's hand before he did it himself. Jong went and too his seat. Mi Do drew a chair beside Ha Ji and placed it beside her darling. She sat beside Jong smiling as if she it was her last smile. She then turned to look at Sung-Rae who gave her a smile.
"I'm glad..." Sung-Rae didn't even get to finish his sentence when Ha Ji spoke "Wait! Wait! Wait!, I don't understand!. The first victim died a week ago and the second and others died this week, am I right?" Ha Ji asked.
"That's right" Sung-Rae answered. "Then, why was the first victim's funeral held on the day with the others? Wasn't it dangerous? They didn't even know the cause of dead. Why would they be so responsible? It was like they weren't afraid!" Ha Ji said, "I asked, and they said it was how it had always been. They always performed funeral of the dead together. But.....
" But?" Chae Eun asked, "I asked the wife of the first victim and she said, this was the first time they performed burial of the dead all at once" Jong said. Mi Do didn't know what they were talking about but seeing how serious they all looked, Mi Do thought they wouldn't share a moment to explain what was going on so she kept quiet, watching them. She would ask later.
"That means one of the two is lying and I can't imagine the widow lying so that means is the other person. Who was it?" Sung-Rae asked
"Ah, I asked three to two of the people in the village and they told me what I said" Jong replied.
"Someone must have put them to it" Sung-Rae said.
"What about the village head?" Ha Ji asked with a suspicious look. Of course she was suspicious of Jong but at the situation.
"He said is the ways of our village"
"The man is weird. Do you guys think he's hiding something?" Ha Ji asked, looking at them, "We're find out tomorrow. We'll be staying there so it will be easy to observe everyone"
"Okay, I see" Chae Eun said, "We will also leave tomorrow"
"okay, you guys must take care of yourselves. Don't go fallen for those guys" Sung-Rae said with pouty lips. "You already have Ah Reum what the heck do you want again?!"
"When worst comes, I will marry Ah Reum and make you guys my concubines" Sung-Rae replied, winking at Chae Eun and Ha Ji who were smiling at him. Devi and Jin-ah on the other hand didn't like what they just heard. They didn't want to be his concubine, they wanted to be his wife.
😧Narrator: That idiot pervert?!! you guys are crazy!
😳Sung-Rae: Why miss Narrator, are you jealous?
😒Narrator: Of you? I would rather be jealous of a dog with four legs.
😔Sung-Rae: That just doesn't suit you.
😬Narrator: Shut up!!
