IT WASN'T like Yuno lied.
Esper Ki Gayoon and I really got down and dirty because that old bastard buried me in the ground.
And, to be honest, the phrase wasn't sexual in nature.
Yuno just made it sound suggestive on purpose to annoy the hell out of Guide Bambi.
And it's working.
Guide Bambi's fake smile disappeared, and his expression turned icy cold. "You don't know how to keep your mouth shut, do you?"
That was true.
Yuno got beaten up by the agents before they arrested them.
Those bastards didn't even bring him to the infirmary and just threw him straight to the interrogation room. His face still hurt because the agent he slapped with a dildo didn't stop until he broke his nose.
Oh, well.
He had high pain tolerance anyway.
It's been a while since I've been here, but it's a shame I didn't even get the chance to admire the beautiful architecture of the National Guide Bureau HQ.
He was stuck in the interrogation room, after all.
"Why are you arrogant, Noh Yuno-ssi?" Guide Bambi asked. "Is it because you're working for Guide Moon Noa-ssi? Do you think he will get you out of here?"
"No," Yuno said bluntly, obviously leaving Guide Bambi confused. "I don't expect anyone to save me. In fact, I think I fucked around too much this time."
He could have just ignored the "walking sex toy" comment.
But he just had to let his temper get the better of him.
"If you know that, why can't you keep your mouth shut?" Guide Bambi asked coldly. "You should know that you may not make it out alive here."
"I know, right?" Yuno agreed while nodding. "I'm actually scared as hell. But I can't stop my mouth from talking back. It also doesn't help that I have a bad temper."
"You're funny."
"Then will you spare me—"
"It's too late to get on my good graces, Yuno-ssi."
"At least, I tried."
"So, you're an E-Class Guide."
Ah.
"You did your assignment, Guide Bambi," Yuno said, nodding. "That means you already know that I'm a registered Guide, and that I have proper documents that explain why I'm not active as a Guide."
In short, this pretty but perverted S-Class Guide was just power-tripping.
"You're right— I did my assignment," Guide Bambi said, smiling. "That's why I also know E-Class Guides are easy to die, easy to kill."
"What about it?"
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be Ki Gayoon Hyung's Guide. So, give it to me."
"Give you what?"
"Your ability to guide Ki Gayoon Hyung," Guide Bambi said, extending his hand as if he was trying to literally rip Yuno's heart out of his chest. "Give it to me."
Hmm?
Strange.
Yuno suddenly couldn't move even though he wanted to get away from Bambi.
This is freaking scary.
"Bambam, are you here?"
Hmm?
Much to Yuno's surprise, the door suddenly burst open.
Then Moon Noa— dressed in a mustard piece, of course— entered the room with a bright smile on his face.
"I knew I'd find you here, Bambam~"
Yuno turned his head and his gaze followed Moon Noa who patted Yuno's shoulder as if to console him. Then the CEO pulled a chair for himself and sat next to Guide Bambi.
Oh?
I can move again.
"Yuyu, you may go," Moon Noa said, smiling at Yuno. "I'll deal with Bambam."
"No one leaves here without my permission," Guide Bambi asked, frowning. "How did you get in here, Guide Moon Noa-ssi? Esper Ryu Sungbin should be—"
"Esper Ryu Sungbin was dispatched," Moon Noa said cheerfully. "He was dispatched because a Gate suddenly appeared near the Blue House."
Yuno was surprised to hear that, but Guide Bambi didn't look convinced.
"Oh, I have another piece of bad news for you," Moon Noa— who looked too happy to deliver some bad news— said while observing Guide Bambi. "Esper Ki Gayoon is on a Rampage."
What?
Yuno knitted his eyebrows.
That old man is on a Rampage again?
"Unfortunately, this time, Esper Ki Gayoon snapped while visiting the newly built Esper Training Center," Moon Noa said, still all smiles. "President Cheol Kang was so livid after hearing the news since the government spent a lot of money on building the Center. I wonder how the president would react to the news?"
"What did you do?" Guide Bambi asked coldly. "How did you convince Gayoon Hyung to do your bidding?"
For real?
Yuno wondered if Moon Noa and Ki Gayoon were really conniving.
They're kinda scary as a duo…
One was known as a sly fox, and the other a complete brute.
"Bambam, do you think Esper Ki Gayoon is someone you can boss around?"
"Hyung isn't like that, but you're a cunning bastard, Noa-ssi."
Yuno covered his mouth with his hands when Guide Bambi talked rudely to Moon Noa.
And then he feared for his life.
When two whales fight, the shrimp dies.
Obviously, Yuno was the shrimp here.
Fortunately, the scary tension between the two S-Grade Guides was cut off when someone's phone rang loudly.
Whew.
"Pick it up," Moon Noa encouraged Guide Bambi. "It's a call you can't ignore, Bambam."
Aigoo.
Guide Bambi glared at Moon Noa, but the former still pulled out his phone from his trousers and answered the phone. "Yes, President Cheol?"
Woah.
Yuno was surprised.
The president calls Guide Bambi directly?
No wonder Guide Bambi could do whatever he wanted— he had ties with President Cheol Kang.
Let's not listen to their conversation because I'll only get stressed out.
Yuno tore his gaze away from Guide Bambi…
… which was a wrong move since he ended up making eye contact with Moon Noa.
"I'm sorry, Yuyu," Moon Noa mouthed to Yuno. "You're gonna work overtime today."
Yuno knitted his eyebrows, and then he mouthed back to his boss: "As long as I'm getting overtime pay, I'll do it."
For some reason, Moon Noa covered his mouth with his hands while laughing.
What's so funny?
"Noh Yuno-ssi."
Ekk.
Yuno flinched when Guide Bambi called him in an annoyed voice. "Yes?"
"Get ready," Guide Bambi said while standing up. "I'm sending you to Esper Ki Gayoon."
Excuse me???
***
IF KI GAYOON could build walls with his skills, he could also destroy them.
And that was what exactly he did while faking a Rampage.
First, he caused a sinkhole that swallowed the new building at the Esper Training Facility.
Second, he made the old buildings collapse.
Of course, all those buildings were empty— his men made sure of that.
Moon Noa asked me not to kill anyone.
But, to be honest, Ki Gayoon was starting to lose control.
He took a rest while standing on the rooftop of the building he would destroy next, admiring the extent of the damage he had caused.
It was a masterpiece.
I want to destroy more...
"Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi, you should know that Guides don't have monster stamina like Espers do."
Ah, fuck it.
Gayoon was annoyed when he calmed down just from hearing Noh Yuno's voice.
When he turned around, he saw the E-Class Guide closing the door behind him while gasping for air.
Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Why are you so out of breath?"
"I had to run to get here, you know?" Noh Yuno complained while observing Gayoon. "You're faking your Rampage, aren't you?"
"You can tell?"
"Well, I am a Guide."
"I was faking it earlier, but I'm about to snap for real this time. Before I lose my mind, let's make a deal first," Gayoon said, putting his hands in his pockets while approaching Noh Yuno. "Be my Guide, you little shit."
Noh Yuno gulped hard, his shoulders trembling— and yet he raised his head and looked at Gayoon straight in the eye. "Or else what?"
Haaah.
This punk is a scaredy-cat, and yet he always talks back to me.
"Name your price," Gayoon said arrogantly, raising his chin. "Sell yourself to me, Noh Yuno."
It was interesting to see how Noh Yuno clenched his hands tight as if he was about to punch Gayoon in the face.
But would he?
