[I knew it (detective mode)] [(Photo of Last and Athena captured at Cheongang Royal Line)

The time these guys appeared at the ‘Cheongang’ Royal Line, around 7 o’clock.

(Photoshopped image of Eltrinde shyly covering her face with one hand, and First casually putting an arm on her shoulder)

3 days later, Red Witch and Maker treaty formed

Red Witch was mainly active in the outskirts of ‘Cheongang’ before the boss died

The first broadcast line that First hijacked was also Channel Arc ‘Cheongang’ branch

This…am I the only one who sees it?]

ㄴ[Anonymous448: Here comes my drug]

ㄴ[Anonymous65: When will you upload the next video]

ㄴ[AGIO1985: (Running frog robot emoticon)]

[Anonymous753: What are you trying to say]

[PersonWhoFollowedTheHolyLady: Are you saying they fought each other? In secret?]

ㄴ[PleaseFolowMeBack: Otherwise, why would an S-class on probation come all the way to another city?]

ㄴ[PersonWhoFollowedTheHolyLady: No, fuck, according to you, that would mean Athena and Last lost, there’s no way heroes would just stand by and watch named villains team up]

ㄴ[PleaseFolowMeBack: They could have achieved their goal and escaped]

[Title: Putting aside the fact that they’re alive, how the hell did these Maker bastards form a friendly relationship with Red Witch?]

[Moreover, from the way they’re being treated, it seems like Maker is the boss. Does this make any sense? Even though Red Witch was defeated by Athena, they still have seniority]

[Gruumsh: Red Witch is nothing special now. From now on, Maker will lead the city’s order]

ㄴ[Deleted reply]

ㄴ[Deleted reply]

[Anonymous586: Since Red Witch wasn’t originally radical in nature, they’re probably just accommodating]

ㄴ[MontBlanc: Then why would these non-radical folks team up with an 8-ton truck with no reverse gear like Maker]

ㄴ[Anonymous586: How would I know? Maybe Maker saved Red Witch’s boss?]

ㄴ[MontBlanc: Saved someone who was cut into pieces? Does that make sense? It was probably just fake news that they died]

The video uploaded to Arc achieved one million views in an instant.

If I observe for about a week, it looks like ten million views is within reach.

Scrolling through the internet, there were already people obsessed with creating issues, eagerly enjoying the gossip.

Of course, it had nothing to do with me.

First was the one gaining popularity, not Chae Yu-ha. All the money earned from the video would be used for Maker. So it really had nothing to do with me.

Right now, rather than Arc, which was already a caught fish, Instagram was more of a crisis for me.

-> Why aren’t you posting? (♡)

-> It’s been a week since you disappeared without a word (♡)

-> Sigh…should I doxx you? (♡)

-> What are you doing these days, sis, why aren’t you answering, I’m losing my mind (♡)

My days have been continuously busy lately.

From the airship terror to the casino commotion, to absorbing Red Witch, there hadn’t been a peaceful day.

If there was a common point, it was that all three were experiences as First, not as Chae Yu-ha.

As much as First experienced these incidents, there would inevitably be gaps in Chae Yu-ha’s time.

I couldn’t think of any way to make up for this gap, so I just chose to go silent.

And that choice came back with the worst results.

-> Why haven’t you been posting lately?

-> Did something happen to you?

-> Why hasn’t the 1 disappeared?

-> Yu-ha

–> Yu-ha unnie

-> Why

-> Why did you suddenly disappear?

-> Please say something

… .. .

-> If you were going to be like this, you shouldn’t have gotten on that airship

-> You shouldn’t have said those kind words to me

-> Why were you so nice to me

-> You stroked me saying don’t be afraid

-> I’ll find you

… .. .

-> The 1 is gone?

“Kyaaaaaak!!”

I unconsciously threw my phone at the wall.

Maybe because I’ve rarely had occasions to scream in my life, I didn’t find this high-pitched scream particularly objectionable.

I was just amazed that such a sound came out of me.

“Sister! What’s wrong!”

“Unnie, what’s going on!”

“Hey, what happened!”

“Uwaaa…!!”

-Bang crash!

After a commotion in the living room, the door opened and four people spilled in.

They were Maker’s colleagues.

I grabbed Agio by the collar and shook her.

“Agio! What on earth did you say on that airship to make this person act like this!”

“Uwaaa…?”

Agio tilted her head in confusion.

I picked up my phone embedded in the wall and showed it to her.

Agio slowly read the messages displayed on the screen and I could see her expression gradually distorting.

“I… I didn’t say anything…!! Just because a partially paralyzed child was living diligently… I just patted them a little…”

“And that’s enough to cause this!?”

“F-First of all… It’s your fault for disappearing without a word…!!”

This rascal shamelessly states the facts.

At that moment, the other members who didn’t understand the situation demanded an explanation.

I showed them the screen that Agio had seen.

“Oh…”

As expected, the members’ expressions hardened.

“Didn’t you say this kid was a royal?”

“In my experience, there’s nothing more dangerous than a rich, powerful person who is mentally unstable.”

“Why are you saying such bad things! They could just be craving affection!”

No, Seolhwa.

A normal person doesn’t bribe a company to forcibly connect DMs just because they crave affection.

Even if they did, they wouldn’t be normal.

What should I do? Spilled water can’t be gathered back up.

Chae Yu-ha went silent without a word. This is already an established fact.

People are very angry.

Normally I would have ignored it, but among them was one person I absolutely couldn’t ignore.

In situations like this, what do other influencers usually do?

Write an apology? Create another issue to divert attention?

Or perhaps, an explanatory broadcast?

‘Ah.’

At that moment, a brilliant idea flashed through my mind so I immediately contacted Last.

“So…when you tried to resume your Instagram activities, you found that public sentiment had worsened, so you want to do a comeback and explanation broadcast, and you need evidence that you were kidnapped, so you’re asking me to be a witness.”

“Exactly.”

Chae Yu-ha was now at [We’ll Do It].

Strike while the iron is hot – she was determined to calm people down by launching an explanatory broadcast today.

“Haaa…”

Jin Hyun thought Chae Yu-ha had quite some nerve.

It had been less than a week since Chae Yu-ha returned to normal life.

Just a few days ago, she had been standing shoulder to shoulder with villains, waiting for rescue.

But how had she recovered so quickly and was now talking about public sentiment?

Jin Hyun almost thought she might be deliberately acting cheerful because she didn’t like people worrying about her.

‘Come to think of it, she was like that then too.’

Jin Hyun recalled the department store incident.

Chae Yu-ha is an Origin.

She’s so weak that she could die from just one careless punch from an unbridled enhanced human.

She must know that but Chae Yu-ha always acted as if she had two lives.

In a situation where she could have died, she considered Jin Hyun’s feelings first.

When everyone was hating enhanced humans, she boldly proclaimed that it was wrong.

Secretly, Jin Hyun admired Chae Yu-ha.

He often wondered if he could have done the same as her if he had been a regular person with no powers.

“I’ll help you. If it’s for Yu-ha’s sake.”

Therefore, Jin Hyun did not refuse Chae Yu-ha’s request.

At least, he wouldn’t do so in the future.

“I knew you’d say that.”

At that, a broad smile spread across Chae Yu-ha’s face.

At least that smile, unlike her usual fabricated ones, was genuine but Jin Hyun didn’t know that yet.
