Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: TRUTH BE OUT

YUNO actually felt better after revealing that he was an E-Class Guide.

Now he could finally meet his fellow Top 5 Guides with a clean conscience.

Anyways...

After Yuno revealed that he was an E-Class Guide, Bambi asked the Espers to leave the conference hall.

Surprisingly, even Ki Gayoon obliged without a complaint.

I wonder what Hyung is up to.

"Yuyu, don’t worry too much," Moon Noa whispered to him. "I’m sure Yoonyoon won’t cause trouble."

"I’m not thinking about Hyung, Sajangnim," Yuno lied with a straight face. "Not at all."

"Guide Noh Yuno-ssi?"

"Yes, sir?"

"I asked Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi to give me a proper report of the enemy you’ve encountered at Esper Lee Sarang-ssi’s house," Bambi said sternly. "But Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi ignored my order. He even warned me not to ask you to make a report— which I can’t do because we need to hear the details of your fight. We allowed you to rest since you two fought well. But we’re still waiting to hear your report."

Aigoo.

Hyung’s overprotectiveness makes him look unprofessional.

But Yuno couldn’t really get mad at Ki Gayoon since he knew why his Esper acted that way.

Jacob Hyung-nim is a part of my past, after all.

Ki Gayoon probably refused to make a report because doing so would mean that he had to reveal Yuno’s connection to the attacker.

So, Hyung is only trying to protect me. I appreciate that. However...

"I apologize on my Esper’s behalf, Team Leader Bambi-ssi," Yuno said, standing up with his hands folded in front of him politely. "I will give a verbal report now, if that’s okay with you."

"Yes, but this will be recorded. Is that fine with you?"

Yuno turned to Moon Noa first, and then his boss nodded encouragingly. Only then did he turn to Bambi again. "Yes, sir. I’m fine with being recorded while giving my report."

"Alright," Bambi said, and then he pointed at the space next to him. "Esper Lee Sarang-ssi already sent us a report, but we still need your account of what happened that day."

Okay, so here goes nothing.

"Then let me start by giving a brief explanation of my life in the Lab as an E-Class Guide," Yuno said politely. "I know I can just start by reporting Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi’s fight with the opponent that we faced that day. But I feel the need to introduce you briefly to my world. I promise it’s important."

"Alright," Bambi said, nodding. "Feel free to share your story, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

"Thank you, sir."

Yuno then took a deep breath first.

Let’s try not to overshare.

"While I was in the Lab, the E-Class Guides were separated from A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, D-Class, and F-Class Guides," Yuno started with his story indifferently. "At the time, Sajangnim— I mean, Guide Moon Noa-nim, was Korea’s sole S-Class Guide. Since Guide Moon Noa-nim is a chaebol, the Lab couldn’t force him to join us."

Moon Noa smiled proudly. "Yes, that’s right. I didn’t like their vibes. So, I just donated a huge amount of money to the Lab to get them to leave me alone~"

Right.

After all, the chaebols practically ran the country after the apocalypse.

Anyways...

"The E-Class Guides, back then, weren’t taught how to guide," Yuno said, pausing for a moment. "We were taught how to fight like Espers."

Everyone in the room gasped, except for Bambi and Moon Noa.

"H-Hyung..." Kim Jaeha called Yuno, his face full of worries. "So, were you raised to be a weapon against Espers?"

"Jaeha-ya, if I could kill Espers easily, I would have killed a handful already— especially those Espers who sexually assault Guides," Yuno said casually. "Unfortunately, I failed in that aspect. I was the top E-Class Guide, but I was a failure as a ’Hunter.’"

’Hunter.’

That was a term that confused and intrigued everyone in the room.

Except for Moon Noa who already knew about Yuno’s past.

"Everyone here knows about the Guides’ so-called ’Father,’ right?"

No thanks to Sajangnim’s evil grandfather’s support.

Sadly, those poor baby chicks don’t even know they’re only pawns— they truly believe they have become Disciples due to either the Upper 6 or the Lesser 6’s brainwashing.

But it worked, so hats off to Gayoon Hyung.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"The culprits we’re looking for are E-Class Guides, and I’m an E-Class Guide," Yuno reminded the Team Leader. "If the government suddenly orders you to hunt down all E-Class Guides, then I’ll die."

Bambi knitted his eyebrows. "Excuse me?"

"It already happened once during Sajangnim’s grandfather’s reign," Yuno said, reminding everyone that the Lab existed because of Moon Noa’s grandfather, a former Korean President. "I was the lone survivor of the batch of E-Class Guides that the Disciples killed before escaping."

"You weren’t a part of the Disciples, Hyung?" Kim Jaeha asked, surprised. "I thought you were one of them."

"I failed to become a ’Hunter’ since I’m a Guide through and through, so they tried to eliminate me," Yuno said, shrugging. "That and because I started a rebellion."

"Yuyu— I mean, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi was the reason our raid succeeded," Moon Noa said, speaking formally since it was a serious setting. "The records of our raid back then would guarantee that Guide Noh Yuno-ssi has nothing to do with the Disciples."

"Even so, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi can still help us locate those Disciples. We may have caught the culprit who killed Guide Choi Kangmin-ssi, but that doesn’t mean this case is over," Bambi insisted. "We need Guide Noh Yuno-ssi’s cooperation."

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t cooperate," Yuno said, clearing the misunderstanding. "I’m saying I need the three power players of South Korea to ensure my safety as an E-Class Guide before I talk— and those three power players would be the government, the National Guide Bureau, and the Esper Association."

See, Gayoon Hyung? I may not be that desperate to live, but I’m not suicidal.

Yuno wished Ki Gayoon could see him fight for his safety so that his Esper-slash-boyfriend would finally stop thinking that he was "actively" trying to kill himself.

"You have to prove first that the information you have is valuable, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

"Of course, sir."

Bambi let out a sigh. "I’ll schedule the meeting— but it may take a while since we need to wrap up this serial killing case first."

Yuno nodded. "Yes, sir."

It was a favorable result.

After all, I want to tell my story to Gayoon Hyung first.
