The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 49 - Tit for Tat (2)

A familiar face flashed by the window. Although she was covering herself with a mask and sunglasses, I could see through her face.

Vice-leader of Korea's rank 1 guild, Yun Seung-Ah.

She was walking somewhere with a companion.

This was something that didn't happen in the original story. She was someone who shouldn't be here.

"Wait for me here."

"What? Hey, where are you going!?"

Leaving behind the shouting Chae Nayun, I ran out of the restaurant.

Thankfully, Yun Seung-Ah wasn't walking fast. I quickly ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder.

"Hey."

"Huak!"

Startled, she jumped up with an odd scream. Yun Seung-Ah turned around, her head creaking like a machine. When she saw my face, she flinched. She definitely recognized me.

"...W-Who are you?"

She feigned ignorance. Was she here on a mission?

I looked at the person standing next to her, a Caucasian man, but I couldn't recognize him from his outer appearance.

Naturally, I turned on my laptop.

There was an alert as I'd expected.

[Setting change – An ill relationship kindled between Jain and Yun Seung-Ah through an anonymous informant.]

Jain and Yun Seung-Ah.

I knew their relationship better than anyone else.

It was a cat-and-dog relationship. Jain had the Chameleon Troupe's Yellow seat, and her Gift was specialized in stealing and disguising things.

Solely out of boredom, Jain disguised herself as an old classmate of Yun Seung-Ah and entered Creator's Sacred Grace. Through several events, the two of them would then get extremely close.

Eventually, Jain would become the only one Yun Seung-Ah could call her friend, but she would betray Yun Seung-Ah in a critical moment. While fighting a group of Djinns over an artifact, she would critically injure Yun Seung-Ah to take the artifact for herself.

I knew that Jain would be infiltrating the VIP masquerade party happening this evening.

It was to steal a certain ring.

Although the ring wasn't worth much at the moment, that was only because its abilities weren't fully awakened. Once its potential exploded, its value would skyrocket immensely.

What made this even more complex was that this ring would eventually belong to Chae Nayun. When she eventually changes her position to a swordsman, her father would gift this item after buying it from the black market.

"Um, I don't know who you are, but we have to go."

Yun Seung-Ah still denied knowing me, and the man next to her separated me from her. He was taller than me by a head.

But...

The man was actually a 'she'.

My eyes saw through her diguise.

Jain Valerin.

She was currently disguised as Yun Seung-Ah's subordinate.

"...Ah."

Yun Seung-Ah was currently standing right next to her fated enemy, but she couldn't recognize her at all. I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry.

"I'm sorry. I must have mistaken you for someone else."
