◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A man and woman exchanged breaths.
And they were alone in a suite at a hotel called a holy ground for lovers.
What would happen between the two at this time?
“Did you sleep well, Sonia?”
“Mmm…”
Amon, who woke up early, asked Sonia as he came out of the shower.
Sonia rubbed her sleepy eyes and answered as if she was whining.
Unlike Amon, who was used to going to bed early and waking up early because of his dawn prayers, Sonia was weak in the morning.
The morning sun shone down on her like a spotlight, as she rubbed her sleepy eyes along with her messy hair.
The morning after the two became lovers.
The pajamas Sonia was wearing were cute animal pajamas.
Not a misunderstanding, they were real animal pajamas.
Not naked, not lingerie or a swimsuit, not disheveled, not difficult to take off once worn, comfortable and cozy pajamas with none of those functions.
Even though the two had developed into lovers and were alone in the room,
Nothing happened between them.
The reasons were somewhat varied.
First of all, as devout believers, they valued premarital chastity.
But it wasn’t just for religious reasons.
They weren’t confident they could take good care of a child if one were to come along unexpectedly.
They had no parents, no backing, no property or house.
An unplanned pregnancy could have completely messed up their lives.
Moreover, both of them had memories of being abandoned by their parents.
They wanted to do better for their children than they had been treated.
Therefore, they had to be cautious in their actions.
‘At least we need a safe house and a stable income.’
Until then, both of them had to hold back.
But they weren’t particularly disappointed.
They were still young and hadn’t even been adults for a few months.
There was no need to rush.
It’s not like that is the only way to confirm love!
Sonia had said so as she took out her cute pajamas.
So they peacefully greeted the morning.
However, the morning they greeted was a little different than usual.
Everything was incredibly beautiful to the two who had become lovers.
The morning sunlight they were experiencing for the second time at the resort,
the ordinary breakfast,
the scenery of the pool, not much different from yesterday.
Everything was fresh and enjoyable.
Unlike yesterday, the two were genuinely enjoying themselves in the pool as a couple.
A pink aura flowed between them.
People’s eyes were drawn to the handsome man and beautiful woman who looked genuinely happy.
Before they knew it, they had become the main characters of the pool.
Influencers who had come to the resort all captured the two on camera and shared them on social media,
and that image was picked up by a large corporation’s image-searching AI.
[Target Found.]
Higzen Distribution headquarters office.
Inside, the businessman who had introduced himself as a section chief at the orphanage received the report that had come to his office.
Smoking a cigar in one hand, while kneading the buttocks of a woman dressed in glamorous clothes with the other.
He stopped kneading the woman and gestured for her to leave the office.
The polite demeanor he had shown during his visit to the orphanage was gone, replaced by an arrogant man.
The arrogant section chief stubbed out his cigar and grumbled,
“Damn religious bastards. They hid them well.”
He threw the half-smoked cigarette into the trash can and crossed his legs arrogantly, replying to the incoming report in his head.
“Prepare the Special Mobile Unit.”
[But the Paladin Order is present. There’s a risk of direct confrontation…]
“I’ll take care of it, so hurry up and move.”
[Yes, sir!]
The communication was cut off.
As soon as the communication was cut off, the businessman called the prostitute he had sent out back in.
Kneading her silicone-fat-latex triple-layered breasts, repeatedly modified to satisfy men’s lust, the businessman muttered.
“Soon, my long-cherished wish…”
The prostitute pretended not to hear the businessman’s muttering.
Because she knew well that was the way to survive in this world.
The darkness of the city was so deep.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The enjoyable time at the Blue Moon Resort came to an end after two days.
It was a very enjoyable experience for an unplanned, rushed trip.
The pleasure was doubled since it was a trip paid for with someone else’s money.
They had enjoyed themselves so much that as soon as they got into the car to go back, they both passed out.
Sonia fell asleep leaning on Amon’s broad shoulders.
The height of his shoulder, perfect for resting her head, made her think that they were meant to be together.
Amon also fell into a deep sleep, surrounded by the lilac scent of Sonia’s hair.
In the pleasant rocking of the car, Amon dreamed of his past life for the first time in a while.
Even though it was a dream of his past life, it was just a dream of coming home from work, turning on his computer, and playing games.
‘I’m gonna play Punk City 3 today,’
In his dream, it was the day to play 3.
Why?
He didn’t know.
It was just the day he was playing part 3.
He clicked the icon furthest to the right among the three Punk City icons lined up on his desktop.
The familiar company logo passed by,
[This work is fictional….]
Various warning phrases to avoid legal liability passed by as well.
When the familiar main screen appeared, Amon pressed Continue.
‘Where did I leave off last time?’
Amon often got confused about where he had stopped since he played so many different series with so many different characters on his own whims.
As soon as the loading finished, urgent music began to play.
The scenery quickly passed by in sync with the music.
Amon’s character was in a car.
‘A car?’
There was only one scene in Punk City where a car sped away urgently.
Amon instinctively looked to his right.
A one-eyed man, covered in assassination cyberware and magic tattoos, was riding a motorcycle, staring at Amon with glowing red LED eyes.
‘As expected.’
It was a chase scene.
Early in the game’s third installment, the protagonist steals a valuable item from a corporation and runs away.
If Amon’s memory served him correctly, the next scene was the ninja’s left arm whirring open and firing armor-piercing rounds.
And as expected, the one-eyed man on the screen aimed his left arm at Amon, the lid of his arm opened, and…
‘Huh?’
A sonic cannon appeared.
“Duck your head!!!”
At the priest’s sudden shout, Amon reflexively ducked his head.
He didn’t forget to protect Sonia’s head.
As soon as he ducked his head, Crash! the car window shattered.
Feeling the glass shards raining down on his head, Amon realized that this wasn’t a game or a dream.
“Wait, why is a ninja suddenly appearing?!”
Sonia woke up at the scream that echoed Amon’s complaint.
Seeing the shattered car window and the ninjas riding alongside the car, there seemed to be no need for an explanation.
She quickly came to her senses and looked for her gun.
“Oh, right. The trunk…”
The problem was that her gun was in the trunk.
Since it was the same for Amon, both of them were unarmed.
Amon, still ducked down, shouted towards the priest.
“Father, do something!”
To Amon’s cry, the priest’s urgent reply returned.
“I’m an exorcist! I can handle ghosts, but not people!!”
“But then what’s with that left arm?!”
“I can’t use this here! It would be disastrous!”
It must be sealed with some kind of demon or something. If it’s something he wouldn’t use even in this life-or-death situation, there must be a reason.
Amon gave up questioning about the left arm.
But that didn’t mean he gave up hope in the priest.
“What about the Paladins?!”
“Thanks to them handling things, the number of pursuers is this small!”
“Then what, can’t you take off your glasses or open your eyes wide?!”
“Are you making fun of my small eyes in this situation??”
Figures.
The squinty-eyed priest just had small eyes.
With that exchange, Amon abandoned all hope in the squinty-eyed priest.
In the end, it was time for Amon to push himself a little.
Before taking action, Amon asked the priest a question.
“Father! Whose car is this?!”
“It’s mine, why-“
Before the priest could finish, Amon kicked the door open and yelled.
“File a worker’s compensation claim with the Vatican!!”
With the sudden opening of the car door, the ninja who was about to overtake the car flew off his motorcycle.
In return, the priest’s car door was ripped off.
Watching the receding door through the rearview mirror, the priest wailed.
“No! I haven’t finished paying it off yet!!”
Leaving the priest’s cries behind, Amon wrapped the seatbelt around his hand.
Before leaning out of the car, he shouted to the priest.
“Open the trunk!”
Postponing his mourning for the door, the priest opened the trunk.
Amon pulled the seatbelt taut, securing it, then leaned precariously out of the car.
While the seatbelt wrapped around his right arm held him, Amon opened the trunk of the moving car.
And with the strength of his left arm alone, he pulled out a case.
Scraping the case slightly against the road, Amon returned to the back seat.
He took out Sonia’s weapon and his own from the trunk.
Sonia’s was a semi-automatic rifle, Amon’s a three-section folding knife.
Even though they were weapons, both were second-hand, so the quality wasn’t that great.
But the two were confident.
Cocking the bolt, Sonia asked Amon.
“Right, or left?”
“Based on the direction I’m looking at now, left.”
“Then I’ll take the right.”
As the priest had mentioned earlier, thanks to the Paladins who came along as escorts, there were only three pursuers.
One of them was sent flying along with the car door by Amon, so only two remained.
The priest stopped the two as they prepared for battle.
“It’s dangerous! Those are corporate ninjas! Not just mercenaries!”
“I can tell. They must be from the Higzen Distribution.”
The priest started to ask Amon how he knew, but stopped.
Honestly, in this context, there was no one other than the Higzen Distribution who would send ninjas.
It was such an obvious fact that it was almost embarrassing to call it deduction.
With that answer, Amon leaned out of the car once more.
He slipped the knife between his fingers, analyzing the current situation.
Right now, Amon was being chased by the Higzen Distribution.
Their goal was kidnapping.
If killing was their objective, the attack launched from the opening left arm wouldn’t have been a sonic wave, but something like a grenade or a rocket.
‘Thank goodness.’
Under these conditions, it was doable.
Of course, no matter how overflowing Amon and Sonia’s talents were, it was impossible to defeat Higzen’s ninjas, decked out in the latest corporate weaponry and money.
But escaping from them wasn’t impossible.
Amon stretched his arm with the knife back as far as it would go.
And like skipping a stone, he threw the knife horizontally.
Whoosh!
With a sound unbelievable for a knife, the ninja’s bike exploded.
Of course, even though the bike exploded, the ninja was fine.
The embodiment of corporate capital, wrapped in special alloys instead of protein, wasn’t even scratched by the bike explosion.
However, even the most skilled ninja couldn’t chase a speeding car with their bare body.
If that were possible, they wouldn’t have shown up on a bike in the first place.
Thus, the ninja left in the middle of the highway could only stare blankly at the receding priest’s car.
When Amon returned to the backseat, Sonia, who had been leaning out the window, also came back inside.
The bike of the ninja on the right, whom she was supposed to handle, also had a flat tire and couldn’t continue the chase.
“Good work, Sonia.”
Since Sonia’s side door hadn’t been ripped off, her chest was deformed as she squeezed back in through the narrow car window.
Amon quickly etched the scene into his memory and praised her.
“You’re always amazing.”
A compliment both on her marksmanship and her size.
However, since it was a pleasant compliment for Sonia either way, she responded with a smile.
Having shaken off the ninjas’ pursuit and leaving the lagging ninjas to the Paladins, they continued on their way.
Even though one door was ripped off, all the windows were broken, and scratches and knife marks were left everywhere, the car still ran fine.
However, the priest’s heart, driving the car, was extremely complicated.
“My loan payments…”
While exorcists earned a lot of money, they didn’t earn enough to turn a car bought on loan into scrap metal in just one month without a care.
As he drove the car, almost certainly destined for the junkyard, seriously contemplating whether he should request insurance coverage from the Vatican,
He heard Amon and Sonia’s conversation from the back seat.
Sonia put her rifle back in its case, looking at Amon’s empty case with sad eyes.
“Aren’t you upset?”
It was a fairly expensive knife, even though it was second-hand.
It cost Amon several years’ worth of allowance.
But Amon didn’t seem bothered at all.
“Is money important? Or is life important?”
He wasn’t just saying empty words; he genuinely thought so.
‘And I don’t even have a save file.’
If what he brought had been the graduation gift from his swordsmanship instructor, Amon might have hesitated.
But what he had brought this time was just a portable folding knife, so he could throw it without hesitation.
And that wasn’t the only reason.
“And you’re more important.”
“Amon…!”
Sonia blushed at Amon’s cheesy words, now spoken freely since they were lovers, and the priest’s eyebrows twitched.
With Amon’s line, the backseat was filled with a pink aura.
The priest, already feeling miserable because his car was wrecked, found the two extremely irritating.
Then, Sonia spoke to the priest.
“Um, Father. If you don’t mind, could you buy our Amon a new knife?”
Those words finally snapped the priest’s precarious sanity.
“Sonia.”
“Yes?”
“Do you have no conscience?”
