Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: A FAVOR

"NOH YUNO, we’re home."

Ki Gayoon didn’t hear a response, so he turned to his ’passenger princess.’

Pfft.

Noh Yuno was still asleep on the reclined passenger seat while snoring lightly.

He must be really tired.

Gayoon’s smile faded, and now he was pissed.

What did those Guide bastards make this punk do for him to pass out like this?

Tsk.

He would have cursed the Bureau had his phone not started ringing.

To be honest, he wanted to ignore the call.

But if was from Moon Noa.

"What is it, sly fox?"

<"Oh, I just want to inform you I’m about to meet up with Lucca-ssi.">

Right.

I was the one who arranged the two’s meeting.

"Why are you already calling when you haven’t met Lucca yet?"

<"It’s because I got a really interesting report. Apparently, someone has been stalking Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi ever since his Guide passed away tragically.">

"Is it Bambi and the Bureau’s people?"

<"That’s the interesting part, Yoonyoon. According to my source, even Bambam was pissed that someone wants to mess with Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi. From what I heard, the Bureau was already pissed that the Guide they chose for Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi wasn’t chosen. After all, the newly awakened Guide that appeared out of nowhere matched higher with him.">

"What?" Gayoon asked, knitting his eyebrows. "Two Guides immediately matched with Yang Youngjae?"

<"Suspicious, right? If it’s that easy to find a suitable Guide for a high-ranking Esper, then our Espers wouldn’t have lost their minds finding the right one.">

"It’s either one of those Guides is a fake, or both of them are frauds."

<"That’s why I’m grateful that you introduced Lucca-ssi to me. I mean, I’ve known him since he became popular as the ’Golden Angel.’ But I couldn’t find the perfect excuse to talk to him. After all, Bambam made sure the majority of the Guide Community hates me~">

"You know I don’t care about that, right?"

Moon Noa just laughed.

Gayoon was about to end the call, but then he remembered that Noh Yuno was a bit weaker these days than normal. "Moon Noa, are E-Class Guides really physically weak? He used a bit of his Mana to teach your fellow Guides, then he got a nosebleed. And, now, he’s sleeping soundly next to me."

<"Yuyu wasn’t originally that weak. After all, he’s also an Awakened Person.">

Right.

And most Awakened People were stronger than regular Civilians.

<"But he was used as a test subject while he was in a Lab. Yuyu is overflowing with Mana, but using his Mana takes a toll on his body. I don’t know what exactly the Researchers did to him back then, but I know he hasn’t completely recovered from it yet.">

Tsk.

Gayoon didn’t really care about the Lab before.

No matter how much Moon Noa and Ryu Sungbin tried to guilt trip him in the past, he didn’t budge.

He knew it couldn’t be helped because he was busy with ’Mother’ at the time.

However, right now, he felt so fucking guilty.

If I joined Moon Noa and Ryu Sungbin back then, maybe we could have saved Noh Yuno earlier. He would have suffered less then.

Haaah.

It’s too late for regrets, though.

"What can I do to make Noh Yuno feel better?" Gayoon asked. He didn’t want to admit this, but his voice really sounded worried. "Does he need medicine? Will a Mana potion help?"

<"Those things would have worked in the past, but now that Yuyu has an Esper that he regularly guides, medicines and Mana potions won’t work anymore.">

"Then what should I do for him?"

<"Just cover him with your Mana. Unlike regular Guides like me, E-Class Guides absorb Mana around them to "recharge." Since Yoonyoon is Yuyu’s Esper, he’ll recover faster if you let him absorb your Mana. Ah, it doesn’t have to be through physical intimacy. A light skinship would do.">

Gayoon was genuinely grateful to hear that.

After all, he wasn’t a sex maniac who would force his Guide to have sex with him when his Guide was obviously physically unwell.

That punk needs to rest— I can take care of myself in the meantime.

"I got it. Uh, thanks."

Moon Noa laughed on the other end of the line.

And it was clear why the sly fox laughed.

"I know how to thank people, you bastard."

<"Did I say anything?">

Tsk.

Gayoon was really about to hang up when, suddenly, he remembered something that crossed his mind. "Is Noh Yuno’s old name Noh Yihun?"

Moon Noa’s voice when he talked again was cold and indifferent.

<"Where did you hear that from?">

Oh.

Gayoon didn’t want to admit this, but hearing Moon Noa’s icy cold voice reminded him of the cruel Moon Noa that he met when he had just awakened.

This old bastard can be damn scary if he wants to.

<"Oh, right. Yuyu told me Binbin remembered his old name recently.">

<"Aigoo. Stop being childish, Yoonyoon. How could you know something that happened in Yuyu’s past?">

I’m pissed that I didn’t know Noh Yuno earlier.

<"Anyways, just take care of Yuyu for now. He might get a high fever later. If that happens, stay with him and make him drink the medicine that I specifically made for him. He’d know what it is if you tell him to drink his medicine.">

I knew a princess like him wasn’t built to work hard.
