As he did for me, Kwon Ji-hoon handed coffee with sugar cubes to Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin. Min Ah-rin asked me while holding a cup of hot steam.

Yi-gyeol-ssi, are you going to go see Producer Edward?

Im thinking about it, but its a bit awkward to go without contacting.

I know Deputy Master Chloes number. Should we call her?

Chloe gave her contact information? I asked back without hiding my surprise.

Is that really true?

Yes. Deputy Master Chloe gave it to me first. She said that this number is only used when she is in Korea. Maybe she expected that Yi-gyeol-ssi would come?

If it was Chloe, that was a possibility. I nodded.

Please, Min Ah-rin-ssi.

Okay. Ill be right back.

Min Ah-rin left the hospital room with her cell phone in hand. I looked at her back for a moment and then turned to Kim Woo-jin.

Kim Woo-jin, do you have my cell phone?

I did keep it.

Since it was a cell phone secretly made by Cheon Sa-yeon, it might be better to leave it to Kim Woo-jin than to own it. I tapped Kim Woo-jins shoulder who tilted his head slightly while waiting for Min Ah-rin.

Yi-gyeol-ssi.

After about five minutes of talking, Min Ah-rin returned to the hospital room and smiled brightly.

Deputy Master Chloe said its okay to come right now. What a relief.

Thats good. Were leaving right away.

I shifted my gaze to Kwon Jeong-han just in case.

Master Kwon Ji-hoon is also here, so we will go together. You can rest.

Jiing, Min Ah-rins cell phones vibrated. Min Ah-rin, who looked at her cell phone screen, continued.

I also got the hotel address by text. Its not far from here.

Then lets fly.

As I answered briefly, I opened the window of the hospital room wide. The warm breeze of spring tickled my face.

Yi-gyeol-hyung.

Kwon Jeong-han, who was watching me calmly, called me. As I turned around with an awkward smile at the name that tickled me, he put down the teacup he drank and opened his mouth.

Have a safe trip.

After that, I saw Kwon Ji-hoon playfully waving his hand.

Yes. It was nice to meet you, Master Kwon Ji-hoon.

So am I. If there is a chance, I will see you again next time.

First, I flew out the window and held hands with Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin. The hotel where Deputy Master Chloe and Edward were staying was about a 30-minute walk from Requiem Guild, so it would be faster if we flew.

* * *

When we arrived in front of the hotel, the hotel staff waiting at the entrance led us to the top floor. As I stepped out of the elevator, an armed bodyguard scanned my body with a strange-looking pole.

Please go in.

When it was all done, the bodyguard took a step back and pointed to the door at the end of the hallway.

What is that?

It is an item with a detection function. There is a risk of possessing a weapon in a state of mind control like Edward-ssi.

Min Ah-rin whispered softly at my question. It was a good judgement, but apart from that, I could see how surprised Chloe was by the incident.

When we arrived at the door, the bodyguard standing next to us knocked and opened the door. There was a living room with rugs and a white Irish tablecloth. A pleasant voice could be heard through the scent of maple syrup.

Han Yi-gyeol-ssi!

Edward-ssi.

Edward, who smiled brightly, ran to me and hugged me. I also hugged him and replied.

How are you feeling?

Its okay.

Talented Han Yi-gyeol.

A soft voice came from in front. As I lifted the body lowered to embrace Edward again, Chloe in a beige shawl cardigan stood with a smile on her face.

Hello, Deputy Master Chloe.

Welcome, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. The two of you in the back, too.

Kim Woo-jin and Min Ah-rin, who followed me into the room, bowed briefly. Chloes blonde hair shone brightly in the sunlight coming through the window.

Tea? Coffee? What would you like?

Um, Id like a tea please.

Come and sit down.

At that, Edward smiled broadly, grabbed my hand, and led me to the drawing-room. The teacup was filled with green tea and waffles sprinkled with maple syrup were placed in the centre.

Talented Han Yi-gyeol. Eddy explained everything that happened there.

After taking a sip of tea, Chloe opened her mouth with a firm expression.

I heard that you were seriously injured, did you receive proper treatment?

Of course.

Chloe let out a small sigh in response to my answer and straightened her back. The bright green eyes that looked exactly like Edward turned towards me.

Thank you very much, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. What would have happened if you hadnt protected our Eddy Just imagining it is terrifying.

No. Dont say that.

I quickly put down the teacup I had been holding and shook my head.

I also told Edward-ssi, but this wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for me in the first place.

Well.

Edward, who was sitting next to Chloe, glanced at the stiff conversation.

It may or may not be.

what does it mean?

It means the worst situation could have happened.

That.

Its a consequential statement, but its also true. The bodyguard who was stabbed was also alive, and Eddy and you returned safely. In addition, information about the culprit was obtained. To be honest this is a very good situation. Isnt that right?

Unable to answer the question, I bowed my head. To be honest, Chloe was right.

We found out a lot without any damage. Samaels ability and the power he had, and how he tried to wield people.

But even so, I never thought that Chloe would say something like this.

Are you surprised that I told you this?

To be honest thats right.

Its understandable. Im Eddys older sister.

Chloe looked at Edwards shaky eyes and held his hand. Chloe, who looked at Edward for a moment, continued her words again.

Actually, I also resented you, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. I thought this wouldnt have happened its not because of you. Im sorry.

No.

To Chloe, Edward was a very precious family. So even if they hated me more than resentment, I could understand enough. Because I had a similar experience.

Master Cheon Sa-yeon told me that. Youre not a villain, youre the hero who saved Eddy.

Cheon Sa-yeon defended me? I laughed bitterly at the unbelievable words. Indeed. It wasnt for a day or two that I didnt know what Cheon Sa-yeon was acting with.

Anyway, to summarize, I have nothing but a grateful heart. So I hope you dont mind me or Eddy. I dont want to be awkward with Talented Han Yi-gyeol.

The last words were full of playfulness. I also relaxed my body and smiled.

Thank you.

Great.

Chloe, who lightly clapped her hands, got up from her seat.

Our Eddy says he has something to talk to with Talented Han Yi-gyeol, so let the rest of us leave them be. Healer Min Ah-rin, Ill show you around the room. The person next to you will also go with us.

Kim Woo-jin looked at me with a worried expression. I nodded my head to signify that it was okay, following Chloe and Min Ah-rin to leave the drawing room.

I was the only one in the room, with Edward, who opened his mouth hesitantly, with his face painted pink as if embarrassed.

That, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.

Yes?

Edward, who had been contemplating for a while holding his small, white hand, looked at me with a nervous expression.

I, I want to give you a present.

A present?

Yes. Do you have any items you need? The weapons are good, and the auxiliary products are good. There are quite a few items that I made! I will give you one of them.

Um

I licked my lips at the unexpected suggestion. If it had been a different situation, I would have accepted it without much thought, but I had no desire to even receive the item from the young Edward, who suffered because of me.

No. Its fine.

When I refused with a smile, Edward opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth. It seemed that the shock was quite big that he didnt know I was going to say no.

I dont have any items that I really need.

Bu, but still! There are also some very good items! Theres an S-class, A-class How about a gun as a weapon? At that time, it seemed like you liked it!

Suddenly Edward began to cling desperately. Surprised inwardly at how aggressively he was to rush at me from the other side of the table, I leaned my back on the sofa and smiled awkwardly.

Please, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi. You can choose anything, so can you please accept it? Because you saved me, I want to repay you

As I continued to refuse, tears began to well up in Edwards big eyes. I quickly pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped the tears from his cheeks.

Dont cry, Edward-ssi.

Sob, Im going to give you a present and organize all the items, hiccup. I do, really, a lot of good items

All right. All right. I will take it.

At the words of Edwards muffled voices, I finally surrendered. When Edward heard the answer, he quickly stopped crying and smiled broadly.

Really? What item can I give you? Just speak!

Umm.

What was the suitable item? I didnt think it would be enough for Edward if I picked it roughly

Ah.

Then, suddenly, something flashed through my mind. Red blood ran across his palms and scars were engraved all over his body.

But

Even if I received the item I was thinking of, I wasnt sure if it would be a situation worth receiving. After thinking for a while, biting my lip, I asked Edward carefully.

Edward-ssi, do you have any item to help stop bleeding?

Of course.

When Edward tapped on the ring he was wearing, a small accessory box appeared in the air. The green velvet-wrapped accessory case opened to reveal an earring studded with red jewels.

Its an S-class recovery item. It speeds up the healing of wounds and poisons, and relieves some of the pain.

I smiled bitterly as I accepted the accessory box that Edward had handed me. It was a red gem. If it suited him so well, I couldnt help but give it to him.

Hey, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.

Edward, who looked at me quietly, asked cautiously.

Maybe this item Are you going to give it to the one Im thinking of?

Im sorry. I dont have the items I need.

No. Im repaying you with a grateful heart, so I like it no matter how you use it. More than that, Im worried

Edward paused for a moment and continued, examining my reaction.

That, will Cheon Sa-yeon-ssi accept it? As Han Yi-gyeol-ssi knows, Cheon Sa-yeon-ssis ability and the item are undoubtedly.

It doesnt fit.

That was the reason why I was thinking about it. Still, I liked this item.

Thank you, Edward-ssi.

When I thanked him with the accessory box in my hand, Edward smiled more comfortably.
