## Chapter
- number: 56
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
Picking up directly from the previous cliffhanger, the narrative resolves the confrontation with the assassin through a blend of high-stakes action and farcical humor. Geumja ("Joe") neutralizes the immediate threat by absurdly claiming she is "pooping," a bizarre excuse that successfully bewilders the unprofessional assassin into leaving her be. However, demonstrating her shift into a proactive defender, she immediately attacks the retreating assailant by throwing a weapon—humorously dubbed "Excalibur" by readers—and striking him in the buttocks. This event solidifies her characterization as a "chaos gremlin" whose unpredictable actions drive the plot. Reader commentary highlights this chaotic energy as a core appeal of the series, celebrating Geumja's "girlboss" attitude. The chapter also introduces a mysterious, floating red-haired woman, speculated to be the novel's author or a goddess figure, who observes the events. Furthermore, comments allude to potential future conflict stemming from Geumja's written notes, which detail original plot points like "Teo's assassination (success)" and an injury intended for a character named Isak, suggesting her meta-knowledge may soon create new complications.
