Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: REVENGE SERVED COLD

"PLEASE HELP yourself, everyone," Yuno said after setting up a table where he made a small tower from the yellow boxes of the HoneyMoon Self-defense Kit that he brought for his colleagues. "This is my way of apologizing for the trouble I caused last week."

Yes, the apology gift he prepared for his colleagues was HoneyMoon Self-defense Kits.

The reaction that he got from the high-class Guides around him was pretty lukewarm.

As expected.

Bambi just gave Yuno and the self-defense kits a quick once-over before going back to the documents in his hands.

Mo Hanjin didn’t even look in Yuno’s direction because he was busy playing a game on his computer, making him look busy in his workstation even though he was just slacking off. But Mo Hanjin scoffed when he saw the self-defense kits earlier.

Anyways...

Rebecca just laughed while painting her nails in her workstation.

The only person who gave Yuno a proper response was the youngest in the room.

Yes, there are only five of us in this room because Guide Choi Kangmin had already left after Esper Yang Youngjae lost to Ki Gayoon.

Now only the real Top 5 Espers’ Guides are here.

"I’ll take one, Hyung," Kim Jaeha said cheerfully while picking up one yellow box, and then he even walked Yuno to his workstation. The kid almost burst out laughing again. "I know I helped Hyung prepare all of this, uhm, merchandise. But I still find them horrifyingly funny."

’Horrifyingly funny.’

I guess those are the best words to describe the "merch" that I made.

Yuno made a thick and warm blanket, a fluffy pillow, posters hanging on the walls of his workstation, and photocards. He also had a long and big mouse pad spread on his table.

All of the "merchandise" mentioned had Ki Gayoon’s BALD photos on them.

Yes, I photoshopped Ahjuhyung’s photo and made him bald.

Yuno couldn’t wait for Ki Gayoon’s reaction.

Baekho-ssi and the gangster-Espers who delivered my working station here saw the "merchandise" I made with Ahjuhyung’s bald photos. I’m sure Baekho-ssi would report it to Ahjuhyung later.

The other Guides also saw Ki Gayoon’s bald photos plastered on Yuno’s stuff, but they all pretended they didn’t see anything.

Actually, only Kim Jaeha talks to me here.

"Hyung, will you be alright?" Kim Jaeha asked worriedly. "What if Esper Ki Gayoon-nim gets mad?"

"So what?" Yuno said nonchalantly. "Ahjuhyung made me mad, so he should have expected something like this from me. He knows how petty I could get when I’m pissed."

"You’re amazing, Hyung. Esper Ki Gayoon-nim is scary, but you’re not afraid of him."

Ah, right.

Kim Jaeha’s Esper is that scumbag Esper Matthew.

"It’s true that Ahjuhyung is scary, but why do I need to be afraid of him?" Yuno asked bluntly. He raised his voice a little this time. "An Esper needs a Guide more than a Guide needs an Esper."

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.

Yuno was dense sometimes, but not now.

I can feel Guide Bambi-ssi, Guide Mo Hanjin-ssi, and Guide Rebecca-ssi icy glares.

Did the three hostile Guides realize that Yuno was trying to "brainwash" Kim Jaeha?

I can’t have them suspecting me yet.

"And Ahjuhyung isn’t as bad as most people think," Yuno said. He wasn’t just protecting Ki Gayoon’s honor— he was also trying to make the hostile Guides forget about what he said to Kim Jaeha before that. "Ahjuhyung knows that he wronged me first. He has a conscience, so he won’t get mad about this."

Kim Jaeha looked relieved by what Yuno said. "I guess I worried for nothing."

***

NO— KIM JAEHA had a reason to worry.

Esper Ki Gayoon-nim in the flesh...!

If Guides lower than A-Class were here, they would have fainted already...

Why does he need to curse my hyung? Just use your words, please.

Yuno Hyung, I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk back to an Esper who just came out of a dungeon! Espers who just cleared a dungeon, especially on their own, are usually more sensitive and irritable than usual!

Yuno Hyung, don’t worry— I’ll call the police if the situation gets dangerous!

It always makes a Guide nervous when an Esper is aggravated.
