Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: EXTRAORDINARY RAMPAGE

THE MOONLIGHT HOTEL was a hotel located in the heart of Seoul.

To be precise, it was in one of the richest neighborhoods in the country.

And, thankfully, Lee Sarang’s house was in the same neighborhood.

Hence, Yuno and Ki Gayoon arrived there just a few minutes after leaving the hotel.

But, of course, it came with a small price.

Blergh.

Yuno covered his mouth with his hand when he almost threw up after getting out of Ki Gayoon’s sports car.

"Are you okay?"

"Hyung, I know cars could go that fast since I watch F1," Yuno said while gently thumping his fist against his chest. "But we practically flew here."

"Ah, that?" Ki Gayoon shrugged. "I used a bit of my power to push the car faster."

Aigoo.

I almost died.

But Yuno couldn’t complain since they were in a hurry.

Moreover...

BANG!

That was the sound of something exploding in the house, causing the ground to shake.

A fight...!

"Let’s go," Ki Gayoon said, wrapping an arm around Yuno’s waist. "Hold on tight and close your eyes if you’re scared."

Yuno already knew what his Esper was about to do, so he hugged Ki Gayoon as if his life depended on it, and then he shut his eyes tight— praying that he wouldn’t get dizzy from this "ride" this time.

"We’re gonna fly, Yuno-ya."

And Yuno had to bite his lower lip when he felt his body shot up in the sky.

I didn’t mean this when I said I wanted to be a passenger princess...

CRAAASH.

That was the sound of glass breaking.

Ki Gayoon probably kicked the glass window in order to get in.

Of course, the Esper’s telekinesis power protected them from getting hit by the broken pieces of the glass.

So, Esper Lee Sarang-ssi’s house isn’t Ki Gayoon-proof.

"We’re in," Ki Gayoon said when they landed safely, and then he helped Yuno get on his feet. "Are you okay, little scaredy cat?"

"Do you really have to put "little" before the stupid pet names you give me, Hyung?" Yuno complained as he opened his eyes. "I’m not small."

"Yeah, you’re pretty average," Ki Gayoon said, and then his eyes landed on Yuno’s crotch area. "But compared to mine..."

"We’re not talking about that, Hyung," Yuno said, grabbing Ki Gayoon by the chin and forcing him to raise his head. "My eyes are up here."

"I like this," Ki Gayoon said, his gaze getting heated. "You should treat me like this in bed, Yuno-ya. I don’t mind if you grab or manhandle me."

"Is this your awakening as a masochist, Hyung?"

"Maybe? I don’t mind if it’s you who punish me, Yuno-ya."

Aigoo.

Yuno pinched Ki Gayoon’s chin before letting go quite roughly.

"Rough," Ki Gayoon said teasingly, smirking. "I think I just discovered a kink thanks to you."

"Hyung, you’re embarrassing me."

"That’s my purpose in life."

Fortunately, that silly banter quickly ended when...

"I hate to interrupt your fun conversation, but I kind of need your help," Lee Sarang, who materialized out of nowhere, said shyly. "Gayoon Oppa, I failed to stop the intruder from entering the frozen room."

Yuno was surprised to hear that.

Esper Lee Sarang-ssi is the second strongest Esper in the country...

"I don’t think the intruder could easily break Choi Kangmin’s ice coffin, but it’s better to stop him now before he causes more damage."

Ah, so the intruder was a man.

"I’ll take care of the intruder, so go and evacuate your household staff," Ki Gayoon said. "They’re the reason why you didn’t go all out, right?"

Lee Sarang nodded. "We have a shelter underground, but the intruder brought some small dungeon monsters. My guild members are dealing with them, but I’m still worried."

"Go," Ki Gayoon said. "I’ll fix your house if I accidentally destroyed it."

"Yes, Oppa. Thank you," Lee Sarang said, bowing towards Ki Gayoon politely. "Take care, Oppa, Yuno-ssi."

Ki Gayoon just nodded.

Yuno also nodded, and then he waved Lee Sarang goodbye.

Dungeon monsters?

Hmm.

The enemy is craftier than expected.

"There are really bastards out there who capture dungeon monsters and turn them into weapons, huh?" Ki Gayoon commented while shaking his head as they made their way to the frozen room. "Don’t leave my side, Yuno-ya."

"I know, Hyung," Yuno said, reaching for Ki Gayoon’s sleeve. "I’m not suicidal."

Ki Gayoon grabbed his hand before he could grab his sleeve. "You’ll wrinkle my suit."

Oh, right.

"Hyung, I’m a little nervous," Yuno admitted, squeezing Ki Gayoon’s hand. "Shouldn’t we call for back-up?"

"Nah, I don’t need it. Lee Sarang is already here," Ki Gayoon said confidently. "And I’m sure the others are already busy with the two serial killers that we caught."

Right.

Two Top 5 Espers are already here, so we’ll be fine, right?

"Are you scared?"

"Just a little," Yuno admitted. Fearing a crafty enemy wasn’t something he should be embarrassed about. "It’s not that I don’t trust you, Hyung. But, for some reason, I suddenly feel nervous."

"Don’t worry, Yuno-ya," Ki Gayoon said, and then he kicked the door of the frozen room. "I’ll protect you no matter what."

Woah.

Yuno shouldn’t have been shocked, but he was still pretty impressed when the door flew away as if it were a rug.

Brrr.

The cold gust of wind that greeted them instantly made Yuno shiver, but his shiver worsened when he saw a stranger trying to melt Choi Kangmin’s ice coffin with what seemed like a walking cane...

Hmm?

That looks very familiar.

A walking cane with a torch at the other end...

... while the cane itself was studded with what seemed like gemstones with different shapes and cuts.

But those "gemstones..."

Those are Guides’ Cores!

But that cane belonged to ’Father.’

The man, the culprit, was dressed in a maroon suit— his face was covered with a round mask with South Korea’s flag on it.

I’m sure this isn’t Father, but...

Yuno snapped out of his train of thought when the masked man suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

I’m sorry, Sajangnim.

***

They have successfully hidden themselves all these years, so why appear now?

***

KI GAYOON was a bit confused, but he knew one thing: this damn bastard with an ugly English name¹ was hurting Noh Yuno.

That bastard is reliving Noh Yuno’s trauma!

How could he do that...?

Dammit!

It’s definitely the cane.
