On the bustling street, a person wearing a black coat, hat, and mask moved somewhat nervously through the crowd.

After walking for a minute or two, his heart suddenly started to race.

I nervously pulled out my phone, opened the map, and carefully searched for a certain location on the map.

'Phew, thank goodness, I didn't go the wrong way.'

Aycaren let out a long sigh of relief, put her phone back in her pocket, and continued walking.

Why are there so many people so early in the morning? I'm about to faint.

For someone like Aikaren who doesn't usually interact with others, walking through this vast sea of ​​people would undoubtedly be fatal.

He pulled his hat down a little and quickened his pace.

As he walked, he hypnotized himself.

Anyway, I'm an oddball. I've always hated people. I've had the idea of ​​killing someone for a long time. Now I'm just going to put it into practice. It's nothing.

Besides, my boss is a mutant, so doing this is perfectly justified.

That's right, it was Aikaren's first time going to kill someone, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

After all, he was just a shut-in who liked to stay at home and play video games; he had never even played a real game.

The pressure he must have felt to be sent to kill someone is unimaginable.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at his destination.

There were so many people around, I don't know when, only one or two people passed by.

Aikaren looked up at the name of the shop in front of her.

Star Gym.

I don't know why, but almost every shop opened by Night Star has hardly any customers.

The same goes for this gym; if I hadn't specifically looked for it, I doubt anyone would have known it existed.

I took a few deep breaths at the store entrance to calm myself down and think about what I was going to say.

Finally, he mustered up his courage and pushed open the gym door.

"Welcome..."

A stunningly beautiful woman at the front desk lazily welcomed him while munching on fries.

His gaze remained fixed on his phone, not even glancing at Aikaren.

'No wonder business is so bad, the service is terrible.'

Aikaren mentally grumbled to himself before slowly walking to the front desk.

"Do you want to get a membership card or just try it out?"

"If you want to experience it yourself, just go in and play. If you want to buy a membership card, the price is listed here."

The hot girl pointed to a membership card price list on the front desk, then continued eating her potato chips.

'So expensive!'

Aikaren glanced at it casually and was immediately shocked by the astonishing price.

He glanced at the receptionist, who was still engrossed in her phone, and inwardly groaned.

If he really wants to come to the gym, he might actually prefer this unenthusiastic and unsociable personality.

But I didn't come here to work out; I need to come to them.

Why am I so unlucky!

No, I have to speak up quickly. If I stand here too long, she'll find it strange, and it'll be even more awkward if she asks me something later.

Forcing himself to calm down, Aikaren began to speak, albeit somewhat haltingly.

"Excuse me..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to say them.

The hot girl looked up, her eyes filled with confusion as she met Aikaren's gaze.

'Ah—! I want to die!'

"What's wrong? I have a boyfriend."

The hot girl thought Aycaran had a crush on her, so she waved her hand to indicate that she had a boyfriend.

But Aikaren still keenly noticed the hint of disdain in her eyes.

Aikalen's mood plummeted, but he calmed down instead.

"I encountered an incident that resembled an alien species. Could I meet your captain or something?"

Aikalen kept her head down, making it impossible for the person in front of her to see her expression.

Upon hearing about the unusual incident, the hot girl immediately dropped her previous languid demeanor, and her eyes became serious.

"real?"

Her statement clearly carried a hint of skepticism.

Aikaren nodded slowly twice. "That's probably why I wanted to tell you the details."

The hot girl thought for a moment, then put her phone in her pocket and walked out from behind the counter.

"Okay, come with me."

She waved gently to Aycar and then walked into the gym.

"good."

Aycaren responded and followed her into the gym.

The gym is quite spacious and has all kinds of fitness equipment, but it's unusually deserted.

There were only two people focused on lifting weights in the huge gym.

There was also a blonde woman holding a phone, constantly taking pictures of one of the younger, muscular men.

"Hey, someone reported something strange. Let's go listen to what he has to say."

The hot girl kicked another man with a beard and pointed to Aycaran behind her.

Aikaren clearly hated being pointed at; his body trembled imperceptibly as he nodded slightly at the bearded man.

The bearded man put down the barbell and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel hanging around his neck.

After glancing at the hot girl and Ai Karen, he called over to another guy who was lifting weights.

"Aka, here comes the work. Stop getting intimate with your girlfriend."

He then picked up the water bottle next to him and drank as he walked towards the office.

The man named Aka was clearly still enjoying himself. He put down the barbell, patted his girlfriend's head, and led her to the office.

'Well, there really isn't a single customer; he's just playing by himself.'

Aikalen was speechless for a moment, then followed them into the office.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw a bespectacled, somewhat frail-looking man processing documents.
