The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 104: Night Out

After they got off of the building, Rae talked about how he was treated in the realm of guardians and how strong the water guardian was. He also told how he had to spend a century on a distant planet in deep sleep all alone.

Neul also told him how his appearance inside the guardian realm affected his death. The fact that he was killed by the guardian of fire made Rae filled with indignation. He wanted to stomp on his head but he wasn\'t strong enough to fight with anyone. And he also gave up on saving the stars.

Their gossip finished at midnight and both of them decided to have a midnight meal in a street restaurant.

Even though it was midnight, the street was full of drunk people wobbling around. It was past 2 AM but the shops of beer and spicy chicken fry were still on. So they took a seat and Neul offered him a huge meal to fill his never-ending stomach.

Ah.. after a long time…

"Vik, what is this heavenly taste?"

"It\'s called chicken fry. Eat up."

"I had no idea that humans could make this heavenly food! I can rest in peace now."

"Hey don\'t cry on the fries! You\'ll ruin it!!"

Suddenly a man came closer to Neul and said, "Young master. You have to come home right now. It\'s the boss\'s order."

Neul put down his beer bottle and said, "Is it father?"

"No, it\'s the elder master."

Neul took out his phone and immediately called his father to make sure if it was truly him.

"Hello? Neul? Is something wrong?"

"No, I was wondering why my elder brother\'s bodyguard is desperately trying to take me home when I\'m having a warm reunion with my lost friend. Is there something going on at home?"

"No? But why are the elder\'s guards outside at this hour? I\'ll check on it right now. But are you sure you are okay? You remember my warning, don\'t you"

"Yes, don\'t worry. Take care."

Neul immediately turned the phone on flight mode and said, "Go back. I won\'t go home for a couple of days. Tell my elder brother that I\'m busy with something and don\'t bother me."

The bodyguard bowed to him and left without saying a word after he read a text on his phone.

I bet the elder is growling like a dog because he thought I don\'t have the guts to call father. And I\'m not doing any drugs so what\'s the issue… Since I\'m going to erase everyone\'s memory, I might enjoy my time around and bother them.

"Who was that?" Rae asked while eating like a wild boar.

"Oh, that\'s my new brother\'s bodyguard. They were trying to drag me home because he thought I was going to do something wrong again. But they don\'t have any idea that he\'s dead and a stranger is living among them."

Rae took a sip of his alcohol and said, "You are lucky to be born into a wealthy family from my perspective. Did you forget how hard it was to clean the stable with your small body back in Alberto\'s house?"

"Don\'t remind me of my dark past…It was horrible in the beginning."

"As I said, be grateful that you have a wealthy family now. Since you\'re a criminal guardian, it\'s best for you to hide \'Forever\' as a normal human with a real background."

"What are you going to do?" Neul aksed.

"I\'m going to follow you as I did before. I\'m going to work under you because I\'m kind of a criminal as well."

"Do whatever you want."

I knew this would happen. Well, at least I have someone by my side for now. He will help me gather the other fragments. But it\'s not the time to tell him my goals yet. There\'s a chance that he might try to stop me from achieving my goal. It\'s better to hide it from him now.

Everyone has secrets.

"Hey, are you going to stay outside? Isn\'t it dangerous?"

"Hahahaha! Do you really think that we\'re in any kind of danger? We are the danger here. And there\'s no such thing called monsters in this world. Well, there might be ghosts and spirits here because I\'m frequently seeing mana floating from here and there in a form of a cloud."

"Hehe! They exist here too?"

"Yes, I was surprised at first when I saw it."

After they paid the huge bill to the store owner, both of them went on a walk around the city. It was empty and some mini trucks were passing by the street once or twice an hour. Some night shift workers were going home from their work after a long day at the office and they also spotted some drunk man lying on the street.

Rae was gazing at the high-rise buildings that his nape started to hurt a bit. But it didn\'t stop him from looking at them.

They walked around the street and the empty part at night and suddenly spotted a man with mana within his body.

Neul was surprised to see the man so he walked closer to him and saw a young lady dressed up as a man who was acting like a drunk person who was asleep in the park.

Why am I facing one after another problem today? I\'m so tired.

"What should we do with her?" Rae asked.

"How am I supposed to know?"

She looks like someone from a wealthy family. And the mana inside her body doesn\'t seem like she\'s born with it. She cultivated her mana and use it too. Is she a mage that I guessed this morning?

"Let\'s just wake her up. Her mana within her body is no joke. If we use magic around her, she will definitely feel it."

"Why are you talking in the Vesa language?"

"Because talking about mana in Korean might be troublesome."

When they started to take a walk around the city after having their meal, Neul suddenly started to talk in Vesa for some reason.

The first one was, they were talking about the otherworld in their conversation from time to time. If someone heard them while they were talking, it might create a misunderstanding.

The second reason was, they were talking about magic and the guardians. If a mage accidentally crosses their path, they will definitely hear them and it might cause a huge problem.

And the last one was the bodyguards who were secretly following them. They were all appointed by Jinin and they were ordered to report everything to him. If they hear them talking about something like mage or magic, Jinin will send him to a mental hospital by creating a huge problem.

Hehe.. I really want to move out of that house. Then I\'ll go straight to Hawaii.

It\'s been a long time since I saw the sea and felt the warm sun all over my body. But what should I do with this little kid?

Neul looked at her face with a gaze and she opened her eyes. She was acting.

"Excuse me. Are you a pervert?" The girl asked.

"So you spread your leg and then tell everyone not to look at it?" Neul answered right on her face.

Rae heard his comments and burst out of laughter because they both knew she was acting and her acting was terrible.

"Are you foreigners? You two don\'t look Korean. But how are you so fluent?"

"Nope, we are both Korean. It\'s just our parents who are foreigners."

Neul was born in Korea but he doesn\'t look like one. His mother was Korean but his father wasn\'t from Asia. He was from Germany and that\'s the reason why Neul looks just like his father with a little touch of Asian blood.

On the other hand, Astraeus was a born guardian so he looked nothing like a human from earth. His beauty was comparable to an angel and his voice was so beautiful that anyone can fall in love within a second.

"I see. But why were you guys looking at me like that? Can\'t you see I\'m on a mission?" The girl blushed for a minute and then she realised that she misspoken. The mission was supposed to be top secret.

"What kind of mission?" Rae asked.

"Um.. A… it\'s. Um."

While she was babbling nonsense, Ivon already knew what she was up to. She was on a mission from a secret hybrid organization that makes various types of potions. He finally found the fire that was emitting white smoke.

I failed to find out its existence because it is hidden from normal public eyes. It\'s a secret organization that words and controls superhumans all over the world. I just can\'t believe that there\'s also a hybrid academy in Korea where top hybrids train.

The superhumans are called hybrids.

I just made a huge discovery…

Rae smiled at her and said, "You don\'t have to say if it\'s a secret, right? Anyway, we won\'t bother you so take care. We will take our leave."

"Um.. at least tell me your name?"

"Hmm? Okay then. I\'m Astraeus, and this is my buddy Viktor."

"Oh. I\'m Hawag Sho."

"So, miss Sho. See you around."

He got really good sense even after resting for one hundred years. Because those assassins are using pretty good hiding spells and he figured them out without even using his fragment senses.
