**One Kick Girl — Chapter 204:
"Let's Take This Offline"**
Vanishing evidence • Whisper wars • Raon vs the request to disappear
1. The Phrase That Means Trouble
The message appeared mid-thread.
Let's take this offline.
Raon stiffened.
"…That sounds illegal."
Shion nodded. "It means 'no witnesses.'"
2. The Thread Freezes
Replies stopped.
Typing indicators vanished.
The public record went silent.
Raon whispered, "They're erasing the trail."
"Yes," Shion said. "Softly."
3. The Private Ping
A DM arrived instantly.
Can we chat real quick?
Raon hissed. "REAL QUICK IS A LIE."
Shion stood. "We go."
4. Entering the Shadow Call
Camera on.
No notes.
No recording.
The manager smiled.
"Just wanted to align."
Raon's eye twitched.
5. The Rewrite Begins
"So what I meant earlier…"
Raon leaned forward.
"That's not what you said."
Shion squeezed her knee.
"Careful."
6. The Ask
"We can adjust the scope a bit," the manager said.
Raon blinked.
"…Off record?"
The manager laughed lightly.
"Nothing official yet."
Shion's gaze hardened.
7. Shion Sets the Boundary
Shion spoke clearly.
"Happy to discuss options, but we'll need next steps documented."
The manager froze.
"…Of course."
8. The Pressure Increases
"I just don't want to slow things down with process."
Raon snapped.
"Process is how things exist."
Shion kicked her again.
9. The Compromise Attempt
"How about we just verbally agree for now?"
Shion shook her head.
"We can follow up with a summary."
Silence.
10. The Retreat
"…Sure," the manager said.
The call ended abruptly.
Raon laughed.
"They wanted us quiet."
Shion nodded. "They didn't get it."
11. The Paper Trail Strikes Back
Shion typed an email.
Subject:
Summary of Discussion
Raon watched in awe.
"…You're fearless."
Shion replied, "I'm documented."
12. Final Wisdom
Shion hit send.
"When someone says 'offline,'" she said,
"they usually mean 'unaccountable.'"
Raon grinned.
"Not today."
