Translator: 549690339
Dusk.
Han Dong and Winry were sleeping on opposite sides of the three-meter-wide soft bed.
Even though they were separated by the bedding, Winry still felt somewhat uneasy.
“Deputy Leader… are you asleep yet?”
“Hm? Do you want me to sleep on the floor?”
If it weren’t for the fact that the large bed took up most of the space in the bedroom and the hallway only had enough room to sleep sideways, Han Dong wouldn’t be sharing the bed with Winry… After all, he could tell that Miss Winry rarely interacted with men.
“No… no! I just can’t sleep, can we chat, Deputy Leader?”
“Yes.”
“Deputy Leader… To reach your level, to capture two powerful summoned creatures, you must work hard daily, right?
My master once said, no one is born great, behind every knight regiment leader are many unknown hardships.
Everyone seems to have a great goal, alike in the sacrifice of their lives for human freedom.
But I don’t have such a goal or readiness, only daily tasks assigned by master that I must complete.
They say the world outside the city is beautiful, but that was all in the past… I feel living my life in the Holy City would be quite nice.
Deputy Leader, do you have any goal or ambition acting as your motivation?”
“Living for oneself, isn’t that a good enough reason?…I’m rather selfish, without any knightly spirit. If you ask me to give up my life, I definitely won’t.”
Pffft…
Winry burst out laughing.
Usually, when chatting with apprentices in the blacksmith shop, everyone would talk about their great ideals, such as wanting to join the knight regiment and dedicate everything to the Holy City.
Winry had never heard a response like Han Dong’s before.
Just as Winry was starting to think differently, trying to lean towards Han Dong who was sleeping on the other side…
Han Dong continued:
“As I said, I have no knightly spirit.
Next, when we move within the castle, we will encounter more dangers. If Miss Winry, you make a significant mistake and fall into a desperate situation, I will only save myself, and might not have time to save you.
So, it’s best to rest early. It’s better to replenish physical strength and mental energy.”
Winry’s heart fluttered, she bit her lip and made no further attempts to lean towards Han Dong, her voice slightly downcast, “Alright… I will be serious, I definitely won’t cause any trouble for the Deputy Leader. Good night.”

“Good night.”
Han Dong deliberately gave such a straightforward answer… he didn’t want their relationship to become too intimate.
Because of this sentence, Winry stopped having wild thoughts and fell asleep quickly.
“At first, I thought Winry was also pretending… I didn’t expect that in the post-apocalyptic world, there would still be people like her.”
Seeing that Winry had completely fallen asleep, Han Dong slowly sat up, with no intention of sleeping.
If he really needed to rest, he would have returned home directly after obtaining the ‘key’.
Choosing to stay in the castle was for a reason… to successfully steal the ‘land deed’, not a minute or a second can be wasted.
During the early hours of the night, Han Dong needed to act alone.
Because Winry was somewhat timid by nature, if he left her alone in the castle bedroom, she would surely be unable to sleep and worry all night. So, Han Dong had to accompany her to sleep first before taking individual actions.
He must ensure that Winry is in her best state to start taking action the next day.
Otherwise, the last step of the plan will not be able to be implemented.
‘Disguise’
Han Dong was disguising not as a blacksmith, but as the Swollen Doctor.
Having had deep interactions with the Doctor, he could highly mimic him in speech and action.
The mission for tonight was simple. freēnovelkiss.com
To obtain the method to go to the top floor of the castle.
Squeak
Both of Han Dong’s legs, under the effect of disguise, split and became several tentacle-like appendages, a corrupting aura also overflowed outward, leaving the room with an enlarged swollen head.
“Hm? I didn’t expect… this mode of travel is quite comfortable.”
For the first time, Han Dong experienced the peculiar feeling of moving with tentacle-like appendages, swift and fast…
He initially thought that it would take time to adapt, but the current movement was as smooth as silk.
“The physical body of humans inherently contains flaws, isn’t this tentacle transformation a kind of ‘evolution’?”
Before leaving the room, Han Dong deliberately left a letter to prevent Winry from panicking if she woke up in the middle of the night.
In the open red carpet corridor of the upper area, he moved forward, and several guards wandering around would take the initiative to greet the Doctor.
“According to the description on the map, there is still only one restricted stairway to the fourth floor… Only the great lord’s relatives and his private butler can pass through.
Conveniently, this private butler lives on the third floor.”
Knock knock knock!
Han Dong knocked on the wooden door with a plate bearing [Butler – Barbara Pleaseedy].
Creak…
The door opened by itself, a very greasy smell overflowed from the inside, giving off a feeling of stepping into an oil refinery.
This butler is mainly responsible for the nutritional care of the Great Lord… Han Dong was already mentally prepared.
“Doctor, what can I do for you at this late hour?”
But who knew, a soft female voice came from the inner room.
Imitating the Doctor’s manner of speaking, Han Dong said, “There’s slight problem with the nutritional supply from the Ghoul Factory, I wanted to discuss it with you… Also, there’s been a high number of invaders in the cemetery area, I urgently need some potent supplements.”
“Come in.”
Han Dong pushed the door open.
A strong greasy smell came over him.
This bedroom was more than three times larger than the blacksmith’s room, indicating the difference in status among the family executives.
The vast bedroom was only lit by a small hanging chandelier on the ceiling, the room was dimly lit.
Squish squish~ (sound of liquid being squeezed)
A thick oil-water substance continuously overflowed from the wall crevices on both sides and had even spread a thick layer of oil on the floor which was in a semi-solid state, very slippery to walk on.
Han Dong, who was using tentacles to walk, was unaffected.
The most important problem was that the smell emanating from the depths of the room was even stronger than that of the barber’s and blacksmith’s.
“It’s indeed hard to deal with… I suppose, this would be considered a high-ranking executive.”
The large bed was empty.
This nutritionist-cum-private butler was in a separate study room making nutritional products.
When Han Dong arrived at the study room door.
A bizarre scene unfolded before him.
The study room… was more like a nutrition oil refining room.
The ghouls with high-quality flesh would be sent here. This nutritionist was responsible for refining the high-nutrientvalue Ghoul living oil.
A woman was using a candle to carefully roast the skin layer.
“Barbara… long time no see.”
“Doctor, let’s cut to the chase.
Lately, the lord’s physical condition has been deteriorating faster, requiring a large amount of nutritional supplements… your factory can’t have any problems. Otherwise, the lord might use you to refine oil, you know!”
