SHC Chapter 29
29. Severe Inner Turmoil • • Even with shoes that made my steps lighter, there was a limit to my stamina. I eventually stopped, gasping for air. I bent at the waist, braced my hands on my thighs, and tried to catch my breath. Behind me, I heard the clattering sound of hooves. I turned only my head to the side and saw the ringmaster pulling up behind me on his horse. He must have followed me while I was running. I straightened up quickly and wiped the sweat running down my forehead and…-

28. Airflow • • Hope was nowhere to be found. Unless I’d completely lost my mind, there was no way I’d stay in hell. In the end we’d have to part. And in just a week. “Seriously, what?” Maybe because I trailed off earlier, the ringmaster asked me again. “No. I just meant I’m really grateful to you.” I lifted my head, brushed it off vaguely, and then used the moment to switch topics to something I had been thinking about. “By the way, Samdu seems itchy…-

27. Once Again • • I felt like my feet weren’t touching the ground. My stomach kept churning. Maybe the food I ate wasn’t sitting right, but the heaviness in my chest and belly kept rolling around. And it got worse every time I thought about the ringmaster. It won’t go away. Of course, I had a guess about why. But that only made it more frustrating. If my guess was even slightly right, then the worst possible ending awaited me. That’s why I didn’t want to acknowledge…-

26. Dream • • When the sun rose and I stepped outside the tent, the warm morning sunlight greeted me. Coming out from the dim interior made me squint for a moment, but soon enough I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with fresh air. Maybe because it was my birthday morning, everything felt a bit more special than usual. I can’t believe I went this long without knowing the date. That shouldn’t happen. I’d only been counting my contract work days, so if the ringmaster…-

25. Shame • • Leaving the ringmaster’s quarters and heading toward the circus tent, the scene from just moments ago kept replaying in my head. I appreciated that he unexpectedly congratulated me on my birthday, but the way he disappeared in a rush afterward, saying he felt awkward celebrating birthdays, left quite an impression. Was he really embarrassed? Knowing he felt something like that because of me made me feel strangely unsettled. “Assistant! Get your head straight!…-

24. A Special Day • • As strength entered my hands, the ringmaster’s collar crumpled even more under my grip. But I couldn’t let go, if anything, I clung to him even harder. Even though we had done this several times already, it still felt unbearably awkward and embarrassing. It felt like all the heat in my body had gathered in my face. The ringmaster, as always being considerate, moved gently, pressing in and withdrawing repeatedly. My closed eyelids trembled. Then, when he…-

23. A Normal Day • • My eyes felt gritty and dry. Wanting to sleep but not being able to was practically torture. 'It’s already noon…' Thinking of Samdu, who was probably hungry by now, I couldn’t stay lying down any longer. When I finally got up, my body drooped completely. Even like this, I couldn’t fall asleep because my mind was too cluttered. 'And the man-eater too.' Unlike when I was with Kiss, the ringmaster, or Pink, the moment I stepped into my room alone, anxiety…-

22. The Eighth Incident • • Incident? Don’t tell me it’s the man-eater? I ignored Kiss, who was gesturing at me, and grabbed Pink Bear first. "Pink! They said something happened. I don’t know what it is, but it’s dangerous, so you should go back first..." But Pink shoved me away violently and took off running again. Only then did it occur to me that the man-eater is only a threat to me, a human, while to the circus members it’s just a malicious creature. As I stood frozen…-

21. The One Who Will Leave • • After confirming that Samdu was safe and sound, I went into the dining hall to cook some meat before the other members woke up, just like the ringmaster told me. On my way back to the dorms, the ringmaster didn’t even glance at me and was absorbed in his work. He seemed busy. I approached something across from the fridge he had mentioned, something I had always walked past without thinking. I didn’t expect it to be a storage room for meat. But even…-

9. Circus Show • • Ssshwak–! The show began with the crack of the ringmaster’s whip. “Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Small Hell Circus!” With his booming voice, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience. For whatever reason, the crowd was ecstatic. Behind them, Pink Bear peeked out through a gap in the tent, then disappeared again. While I secretly watched from backstage, the beautiful magician poked me from behind. “Remember the rehearsal?” As if I…-
