(CH03) 0momo0: Wha-
(CH03) 0momo0: What do I do??
Until now, he had lived like an arch-enemy with Miu, who had accused him of being a spy, but now that the Alliance Members had seen them stepping off the helicopter side by side, it looked suspicious. Even to him, the scene seemed off.
‘Won’t this make it harder to find the spy?’
Up until now, he had openly suspected Mo Yeon-hu to set the stage so the spy could move more comfortably, but now he was doing this.
As Mo Yeon-hu stood there flustered, his mind going blank, Miu typed calmly in the chat, as if sensing his inner turmoil.
(CH03) Miu: It’s okay.
(CH03) Miu: There’s no need to pretend to be a spy anymore anyway.
(CH03) 0momo0: Huh? Why?
When Mo Yeon-hu asked in confusion, Miu explained calmly.
(CH03) Miu: If the VITA people were the ones planting spies and blowing up Alliances all this time, they would have told the spy in 47 by now.
(CH03) 0momo0: Told them what??
(CH03) Miu: That we’ve teamed up.
(CH03) Miu: They might have been unsure during the last wave, but they’ll be certain this time.
(CH03) Miu: Not only were we together, but we attacked together, right?
‘That’s right, the user who escaped saw me.’
Only then did he understand why Miu didn’t feel the need to lie to the Alliance Members.
If VITA was indeed the one planting spies, they would have reported everything—including the sight of Miu fighting alongside 0momo0, whom Miu had suspected of being a spy—to their spy.
(CH03) Miu: So I think we can just brush it off by saying the two of us made up.
(CH03) Miu: Then it’ll be easier to travel together from now on.
There was no need to keep pretending they were on bad terms.
‘But there’s no guarantee that VITA was the one spreading spies, right?’
Mo Yeon-hu thought it over and suggested a possibility.
(CH03) 0momo0: But since nothing is certain yet, wouldn’t it be better if I’m the one being suspected?
(CH03) 0momo0: There could be a spy from an Alliance other than VITA…
He had to use whatever tools were available.
In Mo Yeon-hu’s opinion, continuing the act for now would create the optimal situation for the real spy to reveal themselves.
After all, from the spy’s perspective, the person they would be most wary of right now would be Miu, who held the blueprint.
‘No answer. Are they thinking about it?’
Mo Yeon-hu began to think about how to maintain the scenario where he was still suspected of being a spy.
‘How are the Alliance Members reacting?’
He glanced over at the chat tab, and sure enough, they were already expressing their doubts.
(Alliance) MouseTrap: I mean.. why are you two together..
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: I’m f-ing curious what’s going on Seeing the Alliance Members hovering and waiting for an answer, it seemed impossible to escape this crisis with a mediocre excuse…
‘Oh, wait.’
A great idea flashed through his mind.
(CH03) 0momo0: How about this?? I was following Miu around and we ran into some weird people!! Those people attacked us, so we formed an accidental alliance and fought, but (CH03) 0momo0: Once it was over, Miu got pissed that I was following them and beat me up.
(CH03) Miu: What? I did??
Miu seemed quite intrigued; after a period of silence, they finally reacted. Mo Yeon-hu chattered away excitedly.
(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, yeah! How about we say they beat me up, calling me creepy for following them all the way here??
(CH03) 0momo0: They beat me in the field, but wanted to beat me more, so they brought me to the Alliance Territory! To work me like a slave!
(CH03) Miu: What??
(CH03) 0momo0: The helicopter is, uh…
(CH03) 0momo0: What if we say they personally brought me by helicopter because they wanted to beat me up faster?? Everyone would believe that, right?!
(CH03) Miu: Wanted to beat me up faster… so a helicopter…
This was it. With this, no one would suspect a thing!
(CH03) 0momo0: Okay, from now on!! Miu, you just have to heal me, beat me, heal me again, and beat me again! Don’t you think everyone will believe it immediately??
Mo Yeon-hu felt proud. To anyone, this perfectly matched Miu’s usual personality, didn’t it?
(CH03) Miu: Why would I heal you and then beat you again? haha;; Do you really think everyone will believe I beat you, Momo-nim? haha..
(CH03) Miu: I don’t think it’s very plausible— (CH03) 0momo0: Huh?? Of course they’ll believe it.
Mo Yeon-hu tilted his head at Miu’s reaction, as if they were asking if that would even work.
(CH03) 0momo0: Everyone’s seen me get beaten by Miu so much that they’re used to it!!
(CH03) 0momo0: Besides, I’m a professional at this!!
Mo Yeon-hu was confident he could play the part of being beaten perfectly.
(CH03) Miu: Wait.
(CH03) 0momo0: I’ve been beaten by Miu so many times hahaha!!
(CH03) 0momo0: So if I say I was dragged to the Alliance Territory to be beaten some more, everyone will believe it!! In fact, they’ll probably watch out of curiosity to see what innovative way I’ll be tormented this time!!
(CH03) Miu: Wai-t a second.
Mo Yeon-hu was excited, feeling like his brain was working well for the first time in a while.
(CH03) 0momo0: This is perfect, right?!
(CH03) 0momo0: Shall we go with this??
(CH03) Miu: Momo-nim..
(CH03) Miu: I haven’t said a word, so what does that mean?
(CH03) Miu: Momo-nim??
(CH03) Miu: Momo-nim??
Miu called out to Mo Yeon-hu repeatedly, but he was too preoccupied searching through his inventory.
‘Is there anything that can drop my HP to the bottom?’
He felt he should at least be wearing something like handcuffs, so he searched the shop, but no such item existed.
‘I’ll have to do it through chat then.’
In that case, the only way was to lead public opinion through the chat. Mo Yeon-hu quickly tapped his keyboard.
I’m sorr-y I was following you it’s all my fault so can’t you please stop beating me now? T_T It’s so hard to take healing potions just to get beaten T_T The potions are a waste T_T Please stop beating me and just let me go once
Just as he was about to kneel like a scolded dog, a message from Miu popped up.
(Alliance) Miu: Why are we together, you ask?
Mo Yeon-hu, wondering at the slightly urgent tone, soon began to doubt his own eyes.
(Alliance) Miu: I missed them, so I went to pick them up personally.
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: Who??
(Alliance) Miu: Momo-nim.
Mo Yeon-hu thought.
(Alliance) Miu: I missed Momo-nim so much that I took a helicopter to go get them.
‘Are my eyes failing me?’
Maybe he had misread it. No matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, the words didn’t disappear.
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Huh?? Miu-nim??
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: To pick them up… even took a helicopter??
(Alliance) MouseTrap: Oing..
(Alliance) FUNK: ??????????
(Alliance) MouseTrap: You went to pick up Momo-nim??
(Alliance) 1BiGwi1: What the f- did I just see?
(Alliance) dude: ?
As expected, the Alliance Members were clearly shocked. One moment they were fighting by the collar, accusing each other of being spies, and the next, Miu had mobilized a helicopter just to pick up 0momo0.
(CH03) 0momo0: Gasp;;
(CH03) 0momo0: Isn’t this bad??
(CH03) Miu: I did well, right?
He tried to stop them urgently, but Miu’s reaction was absurd. What exactly did they do “well”?
(CH03) 0momo0: No, this isn’t it.
(CH03) 0momo0: Quickly say “it was all a lie lol” and that you took the helicopter to beat me more comfortably.
(CH03) 0momo0: Or do you want to go to the field and beat me now?? I’m all ready to be hit!!
(CH03) Miu: Why would I do that haha.
(CH03) 0momo0: But I’m a tool…
(CH03) Miu: No.
(CH03) Miu: No.
(CH03) Miu: Tool.
(CH03) Miu: That’s not it.
(CH03) Miu: How could Momo-nim be a tool?
(CH03) 0momo0: I still think using me is a good method…
(CH03) 0momo0: Why do you keep disagreeing?
Mo Yeon-hu waited for the next words, thinking that the rational Miu might have another reason he hadn’t considered.
And after a long silence, a single chat from Miu appeared.
(CH03) Miu: Actually… I…
(CH03) Miu: I’ve been having a hard time…
