When I finally got home, I couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief.
It was only when I finally entered my apartment that all of the strings of tension were cut and I was able to relax again.
There wasn't a single moment where I thought that this was how this trip to the dungeon would turn out.
After all, no one would ever think that they would be targeted by humans when they entered the dungeon. They would expect monsters to come after them, but humans…
It seemed that human hearts really were the darkest sometimes.
For now, all I wanted to do was sleep and that was what I did. The moment that my head hit the pillow, I immediately entered the land of sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't wake up on my own.
But rather, I was woken up by the ringing of the doorbell.
I opened my eyes to look at my phone and found that it was way too early. It was only five in the morning and someone was already ringing at my doorbell.
I had thought about ignoring them, but it didn't seem like they would give up…
So I had no choice but to open the door to see who it was.
When I did, I was surprised to find that Sasha was standing there.
She was about to come forward and hug me, but I raised my hand and asked, "What are you doing here so early?"
She just replied with a smile, "Master said to come as soon as I could, so I came as soon as I could."
I couldn't help knitting my brows even more when I heard this before asking, "Did you really think that coming this early wouldn't raise suspicion? What would the people who know you think?"
Sasha just said with the same smile, "There's no one like that in my life."
I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard this.
I had assumed that her life was bad because of the company that she had and the lifestyle that she chose, but I never thought that it would actually be that bad.
So with a sigh, I said, "Alright, you can come in."
With the same smile on her face, Sasha walked into my apartment.
Once the door was closed, her hands came up and she started loosening her clothes before saying, "So master, are we going to have some fun now?"
I couldn't help being taken aback again by this sudden proposition from her, but then I quickly said, "Stop it."
When I gave this order, Sasha seemed to suddenly freeze before a blank expression appeared on her face and she stood at attention in front of me. With that expression on her face and the way that she stood, it was almost as if she was some kind of doll.
I looked at her with a surprised look when I saw her acting like this before suddenly understanding why she became like this.
I gave a sigh before saying, "Just act normally, but stop playing around."
With this order, the smile returned to Sasha's face and she walked over to the sofa to sit down. As she sat there, she didn't forget to sit in very specific positions that would reveal parts of her body, almost as if she was provoking me.
I gave a sigh seeing this before thinking, "This girl really is hard to control."
But there was nothing that I could do about this. I had already risked so much to control this girl and if I didn't get something back from it, it would all be a waste.
So I just took a deep breath to calm down before saying, "Tell me what happened yesterday after we were separated."
Sasha's provocative look disappeared from her face and she revealed a calm look as she told me everything.
It was just like what had happened with me, the guards had taken her to a separate room and they had questioned her about what had happened in the dungeon. She told them the story that we had already agreed upon and they left without saying much.
But there were also a few things that were different.
One, since she had lost her identification card, they had used a drop of her blood to check her identity.
This was a special item that each Awakener Association branch had since they were the ones that issued Awakener licenses in the first place. So they were able to quickly find her identification.
Second, because she had registered going in with those men who had died in the dungeon, they had reported to her that they had found their corpses in the dungeon.
They had offered her condolences for this and she had acted out her part as the grieving ally, but that was it.
After hearing all of this, I suddenly asked, "Did the guards act in any special way while questioning you? Did they look at you in a special way?"
Sasha tilted her head to think for a bit before saying with a shake of her head, "They didn't seem like they suspected anything. In fact, they just looked at me with looks of condolence."
I gave a nod before falling silent.
It seemed that they didn't suspect anything, but I wouldn't let my guard down that easily.
I knew that before all of this settled, it would be better if I didn't attract any more attention.
After all, these were two separate incidents in just two days…people might get suspicious at this rate.
Seeing that I was just sitting there silently, Sasha suddenly got off the couch and came over to hook her arms around me before saying, "So now that we're alone, what should we…"
Before she could finish saying this, the doorbell suddenly rang.
I turned to look at it before looking at Sasha who was also staring at me. I asked her, "Are you expecting anyone?"
Sasha shook her head and said, "It's your house, so why are you asking me this?"
I just gave an 'oh' before standing up to look through the peephole.
I was surprised to find a familiar face through it.
