Guide Me If You Dare-Chapter 236: BAD HABIT

"IT’S BEEN a while since we’ve seen each other, and yet you’re already hurting my feelings, Noa-san."

Oh.

Moon Noa felt a pang in his chest because of what Haru said.

Yes, he had recognized the prince.

But who doesn’t know about one of the most loved royals in the world?

"I apologize for having a messed-up head at the moment," Moon Noa said, his voice slightly sarcastic. "The last thing I remember clearly is saving the brat called Noh Yuno from the lab."

Well, he remembered more than that.

But he didn’t want Erwan— one of his kidnappers— to know exactly how much he remembered from the past.

I still have to be careful.

"Oh, it makes sense then," Haru said while calmly approaching Moon Noa as if Erwan weren’t a threat to him. "At the time, I’m nothing but a fanboy to you."

Moon Noa raised an eyebrow. "You talk as if you were more than that now."

Haru smiled and was about to say something, but Erwan literally blocked the prince’s way.

Oh, are they going to fight?

Moon Noa liked the idea because that meant he’d get the opportunity to slip away.

I don’t know why, but I feel a strong urge to save Noh Yuno.

"I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to take Moon Noa-ssi from us," Erwan said politely. "Not until we get what we want from him, at least."

"That’s funny," Haru said, smiling. But that smile was anything but kind. "I don’t remember asking for your permission to bring Noa-san home."

And then BOOM!

The room shook when the Mana that Erwan and Haru released at the same time clashed against each other.

It’s really scary when two powerful Espers fight.

The debris from the ceiling that collapsed would have hit Moon Noa if not for the barrier around him.

He didn’t make that one, but he recognized the owner of the Mana.

Haru made sure to keep me safe before he launched an attack...

For some reason, Moon Noa felt warmth in his heart.

I wonder what Haru means to me now.

***

OKAY, FINE.

Yuno would admit that it was really stupid of him to attack Song Heejin— aka ’Mother,’ the Guide that tortured the First Generation of Espers.

But he didn’t regret it, surprisingly.

After all, this witch made Gayoon Hyung miserable for a long time.

"If I were the same Song Heejin from the past, I would have already lost my mind after seeing my own blood," Song Heejin, aka ’Mother,’ said in an eerily calm voice while wiping the blood off her nose with her hand. "You’re lucky I’ve learnt to suppress my anger. After all, my tendency to get heated easily was the reason Ki Gayoon was able to kill— argh!"

The witch wasn’t able to finish what she was about to say because Yuno punched her in the face again.

Song Heejin definitely didn’t expect to be attacked in the middle of her monologue.

Bambi, too— judging by the fact that Bambi looked at Yuno in disbelief once again.

In my defense, I couldn’t control my temper.

"I don’t want to hear Gayoon Hyung’s name out of your filthy mouth," Yuno said. Yes, he might die because of his recklessness. But dying while protecting Ki Gayoon’s honor didn’t sound half-bad. "I’ll punch you for each time you mention Gayoon Hyung’s name."

Song Heejin suddenly burst out laughing— and that laugh suited a villainess like her. "Ah, humans. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile." She suddenly stopped laughing, and then she shot Yuno a cold look. "Do you think you can kill me just because I let you hit me once?"

"No, I’m pretty sure you can kill me anytime you want," Yuno said while pulling a potion from his Inventory. He poured the green liquid over his hands. A few moments later, his broken fingers healed quite fast. "But bad habits die hard, you know? I can’t stop running my mouth even though I know it could get me killed."

"I can see that," Song Heejin said. "You’re lucky you’re too interesting for us to kill."

"He has hundreds of hearts inside him, Mother," Bambi said, tattling like the snitch that he was. "I need his real heart to take his place."

Right.

I remember Bambi saying that he needs my heart to take my place.

And Yuno also remembered figuring out that it was how Bambi stole Ryu Sungbin from Moon Noa.

However, he knew it wasn’t the right time to use his brain.

He needed to run, and he would have done that already had his Status Window not appeared right in front of his face.

Right, I have this useless thing with me.

[Stay put, Guide Noh Yuno-nim— help is on the way.]

"And just what are you looking at, boy?"

Tsk.

When Yuno lifted his head, the witch was already right in front of his face.

He tried to take a step back.

But when he did, his back only hit Bambi’s body behind him.

When did he get there?

It was bad.

Bambi had already kept Yuno in place by holding him by the shoulders.

Of course, that wasn’t the only thing that happened.

Melted wax acted like glue that made him stuck on the spot.

And it seemed like Bambi was using a skill not only to keep him in place, but to also keep his mouth shut.

I can’t move— heck, I can’t even open his mouth.

Hence, when Song Heejin stabbed Yuno in the chest with her bare hand, he had to swallow his blood-curdling scream.

The way the witch looked for his heart was painful than Bambi’s method.

It freaking hurts...!

"Oh, it’s true," Song Heejin said as if she were amazed. "You do have hundreds of hearts inside you, boy."

Yuno wanted to scream when the witch began crushing the hearts she got her hands on one by one, but he couldn’t even make a sound.

However, tears started to roll down his cheeks.

He was already feeling faint when he heard the voice that suddenly kept him awake.

"Stay away from my person, bitch."

Haaah.

Yuno was relieved, but he was unhappy that he couldn’t see Ki Gayoon’s face clearly as he was already losing consciousness.

You’re late, Ahjuhyung.

Yes, Ki Gayoon was demoted back to being ’Ahjuhyung’ for barely making it in time.

***

KI GAYOON couldn’t believe that the first time he would see Noh Yuno after a long while, he would see him being tortured by the two people he hated most in his life.

Bambi and that witch.

"Stay away from my person, bitch."

Gayoon didn’t have to say it twice.

Bambi and Song Heejin probably felt his murderous aura as the two stepped away from Gayoon when he marched towards Noh Yuno.

The two left Noh Yuno just like that.

Fortunately, Gayoon reached his lover in time and caught him before he hit the floor.

But he wasn’t relieved.

Blood.

Noh Yuno was losing too much blood because of the open wound in his chest.

Ah, dammit.

Gayoon felt his Rampage eager to come out.
