At that time,

A dark site known to everyone living in Japan’s underworld.

You guys really need to stop watching anime. Is this the dark web or an otaku board?

It’s not manga; it’s real life. It happened just two hours ago, and given my job, I watched it live.

I’ve been working at a mid-sized security company made by the Iga clan for three years.

If that’s the case, I understand. So whose engagement ceremony was it that ninjas suddenly crashed? If they hired an underworld security company, it wasn’t an ordinary engagement.

It was the engagement of the direct descendants of the Fujiwara Group and the Saionji Group.

Is it the Fujiwara and Saionji I know?

At this point, shouldn’t we be more worried about the ninja who crashed the engagement? Wait a minute, did you say massacre?

Before I fell asleep, the President was beyond the boundary made by the pillow, but now she had crossed that line and was hugging me like a teddy bear.

‘What should I do?’

I could pretend not to notice and go back to sleep, but if Satoru woke up before me and saw this, he would likely freak out.

‘...I have no choice.’

I gently shook the President’s shoulder as she wandered in dreamland.

Her eyes, which had been closed gently, slowly opened.

“Why is Yu-seong in my dream...?”

I whispered to the President in a small voice.

“This is reality, President.”

Then, as if she suddenly remembered last night’s events, she made a strange noise, “Ahuek!” and hurriedly pulled away.

“S-s-sorry. My sleep habits aren’t very good.”

“It’s okay. It happens while sleeping.”

I calmed the President, who was stuttering in embarrassment, and checked the other two, who were still sleeping.

Despite the commotion, they showed no signs of waking up.

“Showing us a good show from the morning, Kim Yu-seong. Keep building the pyramid.”

“Alley-oop ♪”

...The two ghosts in the outfield, please be quiet.

I glanced at the two ghosts and then asked while tidying up the disheveled bedding.

“Did you feel any discomfort last night?”

“Oh, no. Thanks to the three of you accommodating me, I slept well.”

The President said that and straightened her disheveled clothes.

“How do you plan to return to Tokyo?”

“First, I plan to ask Teacher Matsuda, the second-year student supervisor. If I move alone, there’s a chance my family’s people might catch me on the way.”

“Yeah, that makes sense. There’s a saying that to hide a tree, you should hide it in the forest. It’s a good judgment.”

“Hehe, then I’m glad.”

After one story ended, silence returned.

I hesitated and then barely asked.

“Yesterday, because of the Vice President and me, your engagement was broken. Are you really okay with that?”

The President smiled softly and placed her hand on her chest.

“To be honest, I feel a bit relieved.”

“Relieved?”

“Yes. Being born with a good lineage, I’ve lived doing only what I wanted all my life, so I thought it was my duty as a daughter of a noble family to enter into an arranged marriage as my grandfather wished.”

“Duty, huh.”

“So when the engagement was confirmed regardless of my will, I was half resigned, but yesterday, seeing what Shinji and Yu-seong did changed my mind.”

I started thinking, maybe I can be stubborn too.

“Rather than being tied to old traditions and entering into a marriage I don’t want, maybe it’s better to marry someone I love, even if I’m criticized for it.”

The President said this and then scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

“Well, it’s all thanks to Yu-seong for having the courage to confess first.”

“......”

As yesterday’s memories came back, I wanted to hide in a hole.

I felt pathetic.

‘How could I give such a lame confession...?’

I quickly stood up as my face was heating up.

“Oh my? Where are you going all of a sudden?”

“I’m going to get some fresh air. You wash up first, President.”

Then, I fled the room as if escaping.
