Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112: THE REAL TARGET

AIGOO.

Yuno was a bit worried when he saw that he had received a few missed calls from Ki Gayoon.

He couldn’t answer his call because Bambi had introduced Eun Rina to them earlier.

That was the name of Yang Youngjae’s new Exclusive Guide.

Apparently, the #6 Esper and their Guide become "honorary members" of the Top 5. But, to be honest, they are like reserved players in a game. If the starting players get injured, they get to sub.

After the introductions, Bambi formally invited Yang Youngjae and Eun Rina to the party.

The party we organized to "welcome" me in the Top 5.

"Hyung, see you tomorrow!"

"Yes..."

Yuno wasn’t able to finish what he was saying because of the sudden bloodlust that filled the air.

It was the "scent" of a high-ranking Esper on the verge of a Rampage.

And that bloodlust...

"Y-Yuno Hyung, this bloodlust..." Kim Jaeha covered his nose and mouth with his hand as if he was about to throw up. "It’s scary..."

"Go back to the office and tell everyone to evacuate," Yuno said in a hurry. "I’ll deal with my Esper."

He then quickly ran off.

Yuno didn’t need to call Ki Gayoon to know where his Esper was— he just needed to follow the trail of the bloodlust lingering in the air.

Hyung, you said you’re nowhere near the Red Zone!

But Ki Gayoon wouldn’t lie to him about that.

So, it’s either somehow pissed him off... or Hyung is injured.

"Sir, don’t be like that— I’m here to do my job as a Guide."

That was the first thing Yuno heard when he arrived at where Ki Gayoon was...

... and the first thing he saw was Eun Rina trying to touch his Esper.

This young lady isn’t even trying to hide her intentions, huh?

Yuno pulled out his phone and made a call in a loud voice. "Hello, HR. This is Guide Noh Yuno from the Top 5 Guides."

Eun Rina froze, and then she stepped away from Ki Gayoon before looking at Yuno with a shocked look on her face.

"I’d like to report Guide Eun Rina-ssi for sexual assault—"

Yuno wasn’t able to finish his report because, all of a sudden, Ki Gayoon came running towards him.

And then his Esper hugged him tight.

"That woman tried to guide me even though I warned her twice," Ki Gayoon whined like a child while burying his face against Yuno’s neck— letting out a sigh of relief. "She violated my nose with her stinky scent."

"And Guide Eun Rina-ssi also tried to force her Guiding on Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi," Yuno continued to report Eun Rina to the HR. "I need to guide Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi who’s on the verge of a Rampage, so I’m hanging up. I’m sorry about this. I’ll make sure to call again later. Thank you."

After ending the call, he put his phone in his pocket.

Not before pressing the ’record’ button, of course.

Just in case.

"Guide Eun Rina-ssi, I believe I already warned you not to touch people without their permission," Yuno said, wrapping his arms around Ki Gayoon’s waist protectively. And then he started to rub his Esper’s back in an attempt to calm him down. "Do I need to make a speech about consent?"

"I didn’t do anything wrong, though," Eun Rina said nonchalantly. It looked like she was done acting innocent. "I saw Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi on the verge of a Rampage. As a Guide, I just offered my help."

Hmm.

There was nothing wrong with Eun Rina’s explanation.

If Yuno questioned her more, it would look like he was picking on her.

Moreover...

I have to guide Hyung first.

Ah, found you.

***

WHEN DID it become so silent here?

Maybe I should have left the store after Yoonyoon left.

I was careless.
