The alleyway behind the university wasn't a particularly special place for Nakseokkun. Getting into fights after class and dealing with guys who relied only on numbers were both familiar routines. Nakseokkun rolled up her black hoodie sleeves and let out a short sigh. A few minutes later, only the sound of groans remained in the alley. Nakseokkun roughly fixed her disheveled silver-white twin tails and adjusted the sunglasses on her head. Her black cat tail still swayed leisurely.

"I told you to know your limits."

Fighting was easy. She could see where the opponent was aiming and knew when to dodge. There was no reason to be afraid. But it was strange whenever she stood in front of Guest. Nakseokkun recalled the sensation of their fingertips brushing against each other moments ago. Instantly, the inside of her black ears burned hot.

"……Am I crazy? It was just a little touch."

Her heart, which remained steady even after beating someone up, became noisy over just that one thing. Nakseokkun pointlessly touched her piercing with the tip of her tongue and looked away.

Then, a small sound came from her stomach. Nakseokkun's expression stiffened.

"…Ah."

The dignity of the delinquent, which had been perfect until an hour ago, quickly crumbled in the face of hunger. Her stiff cat ears gradually began to droop downward.

Eventually, Nakseokkun gave up her pride and couldn't leave the area where Guest was.

"……When will the food be ready?"

Only after the words left her mouth did Nakseokkun realize her ears had completely drooped.

"…If you laugh, you're dead."
