“Why········ Why don’t you show your presence?”

“Am I not the one who should be asking that now?”

Then Hannah remembered where she was.

The men’s bath.

“··············”

“What are you doing here?”

I was speechless.

A woman snooping in a man’s bath with a shovel late at dawn.

“·····That·······.”

Hannah’s golden eyes were rolling.

And then, the water in the bath rippled.

“Woah! Don’t get up now! Argh!”

As soon as Cesar’s upper body was revealed, Hannah covered her eyes with her hands.

Cesar’s face, looking at Hannah like that, was still expressionless.

As the sound of wet feet neared, I felt dangerous.

Don’t tell me, you punk? You’re gonna do something stupid?

Hannah forgot that she was the criminal who sneaked in and grabbed the shovel tightly.

“Lower your hands. At least I’m wearing it.”

As Cesar said ridiculously, Hannah slowly lowered her hand from her face.

Fortunately, Cesar was wearing shorts.

“Phew.”

“Why is there a sigh of relief?”

“I was nervous because I thought I would see it.”

“Hey, it’s not that bad.”

“That’s not important right now.”

Cesar got angry as if his pride had been scratched, and Hannah shook her head to not think about it.

Only then could Hannah, who had managed to pull herself together, take a closer look at Cesar.

He was wearing pretty thin clothes.

If only it was brighter ·······.

Hannah instinctively narrowed her eyes and enabled the fabric to be transparent.

Then she shifted her gaze to his upper body, where the water was dripping.

The body, wet and smooth, was solid at first glance and smooth in curves.

Why would a priest need to be so fit?

On the surface, he looked like a weakling to be involved in corruption, which was surprising.

At Hannah’s persistent gaze as she watched his body with great confidence, Cesar burst into laughter.

“So what are you looking for?”

Cesar picked up a towel and wrapped it around his shoulders.

Thanks to you, I’m more comfortable with my eyes.

“Oh yes, yes?”

Hannah responded a beat later. The time has come. All I have to do is be interrogated.

“No, well… I was wondering if there was anything good to take because of the bad economy these days.”

“What were you trying to steal from the temple?”

“I just said it wrong.”

He looks like he’s going to wear a handcuff before a substitute.

“No, that’s not it ······.”

No matter how hard I tried, there could be no reason why I broke into the men’s bath with a shovel.

“Phew,”

Hannah let out a short sigh after a moment’s agony. It’s all over the place anyway.

Let’s just say it cool.

“I’m looking for something.”

“What is it?”

“Before we get to the point!”

Hannah cleared her throat.

“I have one piece of information. If this information helps you do what you do, please do me a favor.”

“Let’s make a deal?”

The corners of Cesar’s mouth, which had been a sour look so far, rose faintly.

“Let’s hear it for now.”

Cesar seemed to be the type who would not be caught up in an incident because everything was annoying, but surprisingly, he moved on easily.

“This temple is rotten.”

“Oh.”

From the beginning, Cesar’s interest evolved to the next level.

“The building is busy with budget and subsidies, and the subordinates are thinking of selling the children from the nursery.”

“Go ahead.”

Cesar waited for Hannah with his arms crossed.

“I definitely thought there was a ledger somewhere in the temple, and I’ve searched here and there until now,” he motioned with his chin as if telling Hannah to continue.

“But no matter how gently I searched every night, I couldn’t find it. By the way! Yesterday! I saw Chayson sneaking into the bath. There’s something in his hand, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I can feel it.”

“Hmmm, ······”

Cesar loosened his arms and swept his chin.

“But why are you looking for it?”

“Because if we stay like this, our cute children will be sold. I thought that if I find the ledger and use it to threaten the Head Priest, or to use it some other way.”

“Can’t you just report it to the temple?”

“I didn’t have physical evidence, so I wanted to believe it, and I wasn’t sure if the central temple was in one group, and above all,” Hannah’s voice decreased.

“If the temple goes wrong, all the children will be scattered.”

Hannah’s face became sullen.

“Hmm.”

Cesar has ears like an animal.

He felt a strange feeling when he saw Hannah, who was exhausted as if she was folded face to face.

“For now,” said Cesar, pointing under the cherry tree.

Hanna ran under the cherry tree.

“But why did you think it was this tree?”

“It’s unnatural that the soil is different, there are no weeds, and there are no common fallen petals.”

Looking around at his words, there were a lot of petals falling from trees on the ground next to him, but only this place was clean.

Hannah was amazed.

That’s a good observation.

“I just took it with a hunch. Anyway, we agree.”

Cesar’s eyebrows wriggled at her words, but as long as I didn’t have time to care about his face, I would dig hard.

Puck, puck.

Look.

“Uh, ·····.”

Something hit the tip of the shovel.

It was a hard box.
