Chapter 106. Love Is Always Sweet and Deadly (3)
“Hm?”
As No. 7 walked through the city lost in thought, a strange sensation suddenly shook her.
“What is this?”
She stopped and sharply raised her head.
Then she inhaled as deeply as she could.
There was no mistake.
Something dense and sweet, languid yet stimulating, was constantly drifting toward her on the wind.
No. 7 lifted her nose almost as if hypnotized and followed the scent.
Before long, she became convinced of one thing.
“Something... something is calling me!”
No. 7 leaped in a single bound and landed on top of a building.
She had no time to care about other people seeing her.
She had to answer the call that was awakening something deep inside her instincts.
It almost felt like this was the very reason she had been born into the world.
“Come on, stay a little longer. I told you I’ll give you tons of freebies.”
“Hahaha, sorry. I really have somewhere urgent to go.”
Then an utterly ridiculous scene appeared before her.
She had followed the scent here at full speed.
And there, the man she had been longing to see was caught in another woman’s grasp, laughing and flirting.
He was even wearing a stupid smile he had never once shown No. 7.
The sight made something inside her head flip completely.
“Hah?”
She wanted to overturn everything on the spot.
Still, she desperately gathered what little reason remained and strode forward.
Then she grabbed Yukgap’s arm and asked sharply,
“Honey, who is this woman?”
“Uh...?”
Yukgap froze at her sudden appearance.
His expression clearly said that he had never imagined No. 7 would show up here of all places.
“Oh, you’re married?”
The woman who had been clinging to Yukgap finally released his arm.
“What a shame.”
Her eyes were still full of disappointment.
If No. 7 had not appeared, she looked ready to do something even more outrageous with Yukgap.
Yukgap, meanwhile, stared at No. 7 in confusion.
“Why are you here?”
“Is that really what matters right now?”
No. 7 grabbed his arm and started dragging him away.
“Stop talking and come with me.”
Her strength was so overwhelming that Yukgap could not even properly resist as she hauled him along.
Still, he asked cautiously,
“No. 7... don’t tell me Abraxas is planning something here.”
“So now you’re calling me by my code name instead of my designation?”
She had always been Eta to him when they were together.
Now he was even calling her by the cold, formal code name.
For some reason, the thought made a wave of bitterness rise inside her.
“What’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”
After walking for a while, they finally reached a quiet empty lot.
Only then did Yukgap shake off her arm and question her.
He had no idea why No. 7 had suddenly appeared.
And even less idea why she was angry at him.
No. 7 immediately snapped,
“You seriously don’t know?”
“You’ve gotten pretty good at flirting with women while I haven’t been looking.”
“You looked awfully happy pressed up against that woman back there.”
“Did I interrupt something?”
She looked ready to pounce on Yukgap and bite him.
Yukgap rubbed his increasingly dizzy head and tried to calm her down.
“It’s not what you think.”
“Oh, really?”
No. 7 ignored him.
“I believed you when you said there was nothing going on with that stupid-looking blonde.”
“And now you’re openly going around seducing women?”
“This is exactly why men are hopeless!”
“Or what?”
Her eyes narrowed.
“Were older women your type all along?”
She clearly had no intention of listening to anything he said.
Still, Yukgap desperately tried to keep the situation from getting worse.
“Eta, listen to me.”
“This isn’t what it looks like...”
“Enough!”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
No. 7 sharply cut him off.
“Do you seriously not know what you did wrong?”
Yukgap had merely gone out to deliver a box of chocolate and somehow ended up trapped in this mess.
Being told he had done something wrong only made him more bewildered.
“My fault?”
“What exactly did I do?”
No. 7 froze.
Your fault.
The mistake you made.
The reason you pushed me this far.
There was only one answer.
After reaching her own conclusion, No. 7 pointed straight at Yukgap and shouted,
“You seriously don’t know?”
“That body!”
“That face!”
“Those eyes!”
“Everything about you is seducing women!”
“What kind of insane nonsense is that?!”
Yukgap stared at her in disbelief.
But No. 7 had already made up her mind.
“At first, I was going to stay quiet because Alpha never gave me any orders.”
“But I’ve changed my mind.”
Her eyes lifted slowly.
Then she spoke with a mixture of excitement and resolve.
“A man like you, who steals women’s hearts so easily, shouldn’t be allowed to roam around outside.”
“It makes me so anxious I could go insane!”
“I’m just going to cut off your arms and legs and hide you somewhere only I know!”
Her eyes were filled with a strange madness.
It was exactly the same look all the women who had been clinging to Yukgap had shown him.
Apparently, No. 7 had also been hit hard by the pheromones leaking from the chocolate box.
The problem was that among all the women Yukgap knew, No. 7 was by far the most vicious and dangerous.
