Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: SECOND APOCALYPSE?

KI GAYOON was shocked when he returned to the room where Noh Yuno was supposed to be and didn’t find his lover there.

Moon Noa was the only person in the room.

But...

"Who are you?" Haru asked cautiously. "You’re not Noa-san."

Right?

"Don’t worry. Moon Noa is just ’asleep.’"

The voice belonged to Moon Noa, but not the manner of speaking.

Especially not the ’aura.’

"Are you the System?" Ki Gayoon asked. It was what his gut feeling was telling him. "You look like a walking Core."

In short, that ’person’ was like a huge lump of Mana.

And only the source of Cores could have that amount of Mana in them.

"Yes, I am the System," ’Moon Noa’ confirmed. "I’m just borrowing Moon Noa’s body until I recover—"

"Where is Noh Yuno?" Ki Gayoon asked, cutting off the System because he wasn’t interested in whatever it was saying. "I don’t sense his presence anywhere in the dungeon."

"I sent Noh Yuno to Esper 17."

"Why the fuck would you send Noh Yuno to that bastard?"

"Noh Yuno’s service as an E-Class Guide is needed by the world’s current #1 Esper."

Tsk.

"I got a call from 17 asking for back-up," Noh Yuno said. "Send me there. You shouldn’t have sent Noh Yuno to that bastard alone."

"There’s someone who might need your help, and that’s the reason why I didn’t send you with Noh Yuno," ’Moon Noa’ said. "I’m currently keeping an eye on all natural S-Class Espers with their personal Status Window activated. And it seems like Esper Lee Sarang is in trouble."

Oh.

Whether Ki Gayoon would like to admit it or not, he had a soft spot for Lee Sarang.

She’s the little sister I never had.

Hence, it was natural for him to worry about Lee Sarang.

However...

"Did the kid ask for my help?"

"Huh?"

"I’m asking if Lee Sarang wants my help," Ki Gayoon said calmly. "Our personal Status Window has a call function, right? 17 was able to call me, after all. But Lee Sarang hasn’t reached out to me."

’Moon Noa’ blinked as if he were surprised and confused. "You’re... correct."

"You said Lee Sarang is in trouble."

"The followers of the Virus have found her. I believe those people are after the new vessel of Matthew’s half-Core."

Ah, so the enemies were after Kwon Hojun.

That kid is pretty important to Noh Yuno.

"Don’t underestimate Lee Sarang— she’s the disputed #2 Esper of this country for a reason," Ki Gayoon said. "Let me contact her first."

***

"N-NOONA, there are scary people outside..."

Lee Sarang smiled at Kwon Hojun and Kim Jaeha, who both looked scared at the moment, to assure the kids that everything would be fine.

Yes, there were two strange ’Espers’ who trespassed in the penthouse that their group was using at the moment. She wasn’t sure if those people were Espers because their Mana ’read’ more like Mana that belonged to Guides.

However...

These people are strong.

The young man (well, younger than her) had a cold aura like Lee Sarang.

I can tell that we’re both ice users.

Lee Sarang couldn’t figure out what the young woman’s ability was yet.

However, she could tell that the two intruders were competent— especially if they were brave enough to come at her directly.

They know who I am, and yet they’re not afraid.

Come to think of it, the intruders looked familiar to Lee Sarang.

I’ve definitely seen them before.

"Inwoo-ya, Inkyu-ya, protect Kwon Hojun and Kim Jaeha," Lee Sarang said to the Gu Twins while standing in front of her group protectively. "I will deal with these kids."

The intruders frowned after being addressed as ’kids.’

Lee Sarang said that on purpose to look down on them.

No, I’m not underestimating the enemies— I’m just provoking them purposely.

Are you proud of me, Gayoon Oppa?

The young man created an ice wall to protect himself and his female companion.

Yep, confirmed— that boy has the same ability as me.

I wanted to know if my hunch was right.

["Lee Sarang, do you need my help?"]

Gayoon Oppa knows I’m being attacked?

["Are you sure?"]
