31. That’s the purpose

* * *

“I’m here to get this family crest.”

Listening to Evan’s words, Kiara bit her lip and salivated. Sharp eyes fly from all sides. Gazes mixed with ridicule or resentment.

As the owner of the house, she hadn’t felt that kind of gaze for quite some time. Originally, the gaze she would be receiving by now would have been cheers or praise, awe or fear. Not this kind of ridicule.

“…… That’s not okay.”

Kiara replied as she struggled to regain her composure. She cannot return her family name. Is she the rightful heir? About the tailless loser who ran away from home a long time ago?

She doesn’t know how she obtained her tail, but it was intended to be shared between herself and her family. The thought of handing over her family to her in return did not exist at all.

“She has not received any training to rule the family, so even if she becomes the head of the family, she will not look good.”

“Mrs.”

“Ajum…… ?”

“My tongue is long.”

Evan rested his chin on her chin and looked at her boredly, Kiara.

“This is not the case. It shouldn’t be that way. It’s no use saying that. If she says she can’t do anything, she has no choice but to exercise her skills.”

“You, an outsider, could change the head of the family by force?”

“Yes? No, I didn’t say I was fighting myself.”

Took – Evan pointed at her and pushed her on the back of Lynia, who was standing there, and sent her forward.

“I heard the story beforehand. I heard you had that?”

“No way.”

“Lainia.”

“My lord. —A rule established by the great white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox. I ask for a blood meal.”

“Rainia…… !”

Hearing her Lainia’s words, Kiara gnashed her teeth and glared at her. Pedigree. It was a safety device left by the white-faced golden haired Gumiho.

No matter what you call a beast, the root is a beast. A creature that is more strongly influenced by instinct than rational and rational judgment. Poor beings who kneel before the logic of power.

Knowing that fact, Gumiho made this rule in the hope that when there is a disagreement between the two beasts in an emergency, it will end as a matter between the two, rather than each other driving the group to ruin.

The rules are simple. The two of them divide up and down with the power of their lineage. The word of the winner is the law.

“Are you saying you’re going to attack me with a flimsy experience that just got your tail in your hands!”

“There is nothing impossible. Lord. It looks easy when you do it.”

“Cheeky…… ! Great! Come on!”

Originally, it is unacceptable for Lainia, who had run away from home, to bet on the head of the household. No matter how much beastmen argue about the logic of power, if an outsider comes and brags about their strength, they are bound to rebel.

However, a supernatural disaster called Evan cut the process short. He made Gazoo and Rainia face to face and created an atmosphere that everything could be ended with a fight between just the two of them.

There is no way Kiara can refuse Rainia. Evan was afraid to say no to her outsiders and all, and she was afraid to tell her she wasn’t authentic… ….

“Advanced adventurer, Rainia.”

“…… The head of the border guard, Kiara.”

“Under the name of the great white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, we will fight fair and square.”

If you see that nine-tailed Lainia over there, no one would be able to say such a thing.

Kiara glanced at her four tails. Compared to Lainia’s tail, it was shabby, but it had four golden tails that could be said to be rich enough.

This tail of hers made her the head of her household. She endowed her with the power of her fox tribe, her ability.

“—Come.”

“Go. Mother.”

And the next moment, a fox and a fox. Witchcraft and fascination collided.

* * *

“Keuuugh…… Me, i like this…….”

The bloodline ceremony ended very simply. Kiara, who had four tails, could not overcome the demonic power and magic emanating from Lainia, who had nine tails.

It was best for her to hold on so that Lainia wouldn’t be seduced by her charms, and she was overpowered by Lainia in the end.

“With this—I am the owner of the Gyeongbyeongseong Fortress. Mother.”

“…… Do whatever you want.”

“Yes, I think so.”

Kiara looked at Lainia with an expression of shame. Rainia, who officially became the head of the house, looked around and found a fox tribe lady-in-waiting.

“Hey, come here.”

“You mean me?”

“Yes. You.”

The lady-in-waiting who was summoned and brought in front of Lainia began to look at Lainia with a puzzled expression, as if asking what the hell was going on.

Lainia looked at the lady-in-waiting and smiled at her.

This person was like that even then. It was said that while keeping an eye on others, she gave her food or helped her escape.

“Now you are the deputy head of state.”

“Yes, yes!? What is that…….”

“You can run the border guard instead of me. You don’t have to worry about the bloodline diet. It’s not the head of the family, but the deputy head of the family. Anyone who wants to become the head of household should come to me, not you.”

“Gee, are you serious? I can’t do that…… Boo, I’m sure I made a mistake somewhere and ruined the family name…… !”

“That’s the purpose, so it’s okay.”

Her lady-in-waiting, hearing her Lainia’s words, looked at her with her shocked expression. Ruining the family is her purpose?

Whether the maid was shocked or not, Lynia opened her mouth as she looked at Kiara and the other heads of families.

“If no one is dissatisfied, I will decide to do this. When I’m not around, I hope you treat her as her family head.”

Enough with that ─ she said, and Rania, who hurried out of her mansion with Evan, let out her sigh and let out her ahahahaha laugh.

Evan looked at Lainia like that and tilted her head as if she was wondering what was going on.

“Why is that?”

“No, just. I never thought that something like this would be possible. She became the head of household, and then she handed over her head of household to her lady-in-waiting, who was just nice to me…… Either way, it was nonsense.”

Rainia said that and glanced at Evan.

If all of this had happened to her alone. These things would not have been possible if she hadn’t met Evan.

The fact that she got her nine tails, the fact that she was able to become the head of the household, and the fact that she threw them away at will. It was because everyone was supported by a strong presence called Evan from behind.

Whether he knew it or not, Evan just stared at her blankly with her innocent, unmatched expression.

“A cute guy.”

“What is it all of a sudden?”

“I just said it was cute. Don’t be too surprised. Because I want to eat it.”

“…… Yes!? Bar, what did you just say? Hey? Mr. Rania?”

Evan, who was leaving the mansion of Nine Lives flirting with Lainia, who had closed his mouth, found her man and group walking far away.

And the moment she saw the tiger beastman standing in front of her, she stopped and grabbed the hem of Lainia’s clothes.

“—Mr. Rania.”

“Huh? Why, Evan.”

“Run away.”

The moment Lainia was about to ask what was going on when she saw Evan immediately telling her to run away – a man walking far away jumped up and fell in front of the two of them in an instant.

The tiger, who landed while scattering stones in all directions, blocked the two of them by raising the corner of her mouth.

“A human being is a nine-tailed fox. It’s the first time I’ve seen both of them.”

Evan let out a sigh as he looked at the tiger’s seal. Yeah, she wanted to get over it easily for some reason.

“Is this your pet? It’s a gumiho.”

“…… To refrain from talking. I am Rainia, the head of the border guard.”

“The head there is Kiara, isn’t it? What is it, are they going to hand over the head of the family if the number of her tails is high?”

The tiger beastman didn’t shrink much even when Rainia said that he was the head of the family. In other words, he has excellent abilities that he doesn’t care about being called the family head, or if that’s not the case…

“Captain Leung, go slowly. What is so urgent?”

“Yes. If anyone sees it, they’ll think you’ve hidden a lover at home.”

That was also the voice of the family head. Upon hearing the name Leung, Lainia quickly realized his identity.

The head of Ikkidangcheon. Tiger Leung.

He was a superman of Manbubudang.

* * *

There is no superman in Gyeongguk-gyeongseong.

However, that didn’t mean there were no superhumans in Nine Lives.

Nine Lives is an alliance formed by the gathering of nine families and organizations.

Tiger Leung was such a person. The head of Ikkidangcheon and at the same time the head of a powerful family. In Nine Lives, he is a superman who reaches the pinnacle with pure force alone.

Reung returned from hunting and found a funny-looking human and nine-tailed fox on the way back. So he blocked the two of them.

“—So, what are you guys doing?”

Lung said that and started looking at Evan and Lainia. Of course, most of their eyes were on Evan, not Lainia.

It wasn’t because he showed any particular dislike or interest in humans, it was because Evan gave off a strong spirit and smell that only comes from a strong person.

Evan stepped in front of Lainia and grabbed the hilt of her sword.

“Mister, what is your name?”

“Excellent. Tiger Leung. What’s your name, kid?”

“Evan. Evan Carlster.”

“Yeah- that’s an interesting name.”

“We’re just going back, don’t you want to let go?”

Tiger Leung smiled and nodded his head as if it were natural. Seeing this, Evan immediately drew his sword and swung it.

If you don’t intend to let go, there’s no need to talk painfully.

Tiger Leung, who evaded Evan’s sword attack with surprising movements, shouted loudly.

“If there is a bastard interfering, I will kill that bastard first!”

I can’t let other guys take away this delicious thing. Tiger Leung thought so and rushed at Evan.
