“You crazy bastard! Why did you kill our party members?!”

Yieon, who enjoys completing minor quests leisurely, is randomly matched with the high-ranking player “Raham.”

Raham, displaying overwhelming skills, suddenly slaughters their entire party, saying they were too noisy.

And this psycho is our Guild Master?

Unlike their first encounter where Raham tried to kill him, he now follows Yieon around, offering to help with quests. While suspicious of Raham’s motives, Yieon eventually warms up to the convenience of being carried by a high-level player. They even become close enough to meet offline for meals…

“You know what they say? Paladin and Demon Priest are a perfect match.”

Hold on, what?

I didn’t mean to get this close!

Dumbfounded by the incomprehensible situation, Yieon could only blink in response. The man tilted his head slightly, gazing at him.

“Strange.”

“…?”

His low voice was oddly calm for their current predicament. Yieon tore his gaze away from the corpses lying at their feet and looked at the man.

“Aren’t you the Tiog Paladin?”

“…Yes.”

At Yieon’s cautious answer, the man’s lips curved into a smile.

“But why aren’t you dead?”

…What?
