"I DON’T wanna work," Yuno blurted out of nowhere. "Can’t we just let the end world or something? Most humans aren’t worth saving anyway."
Of course, he didn’t mean that.
Well, I’m at least 50% serious.
But Yuno would admit that it was just him being tired.
And the people around him understood.
"Madam, you should rest in the meantime. You’ve worked hard," Lee Woonhak said after his ’lecture’ about the virus. "I have the list of the other ingredients that we need to gather. I think it should be fine if we create a small group for that. You don’t have to be involved directly, Madam. This is a job for Espers anyway, since most ingredients could only be found in dungeons."
Oh.
Thank goodness.
Raiding dungeons wasn’t Yuno’s forte.
It’s not a job for Guides.
"Will our guild members suffice for the job?" Ki Gayoon asked. "I only want people we can trust to take this mission."
"Yes, Boss. Our guild members can handle it. But we’ll need someone who can manipulate water," Lee Woonhak said. "Once the ingredients is a pearl that could only be harvested in a water-type dungeon. None of our guild members has that kind of ability. We can still work together to harvest the pearl, but it will be faster if we have a water manipulator with us."
"Then Lee Sarang can lead the team," Ki Gayoon said. "We can trust her."
Lee Woonhak nodded, satisfied.
"You sent Sasa to the Esper Association to help President Kwak control the situation. You’re giving her too much workload when she doesn’t have a Guide," Moon Noa scolded Ki Gayoon. "You’re the one who put South Korea under Esper Law, Yoonyoon. Go and do your job as the country’s current leader."
Ki Gayoon clicked his tongue, but he couldn’t say anything back.
Sajangnim was right anyway.
"You should head to the Esper Association and personally handle all the important stuff, Hyung," Yuno urged her boyfriend. "I’m going to sleep in the meantime."
Ki Gayoon frowned. "But I want to sleep with you, Noh Yuno."
Aigoo.
"Gayoon-san, you make me want to smack you in the face," Haru, who spoke for the first time ever since Lee Woonhak’s ’lecture’ began, said while giving a side-eye to Ki Gayoon. Then the ex-prince got up from his seat. "I’ll drag you to the association if I have to."
Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Why are you getting so worked up?"
"I’m here as Japan’s representative," Haru answered bluntly. "Those zombies have already reached our country, too."
Ah, right.
Yuno got sad again when he remembered Osaki Shohei’s death,
"We need to work together," Haru said sternly. "So, get up and work, Gayoon-san."
Ki Gayoon clicked his tongue at the ex-prince before turning to Yuno. "Babe Princess, sleep in my dungeon— that’s the safest place for you. Well, the enemies have breached Beok-seom once, but the System assured me that it won’t happen again."
Yuno nodded. "That’s the plan, Hyung."

I practically disappeared after declaring Esper Law.
Unfortunately, we can’t save everyone.
"I’m not a combant fighter, but I can see through the enemies’ strategy," Kwak Hakjae said, and then he showed Ki Gayoon his computer tablet. The screen showed a map— a map of Seoul, to be precise. "As Lee Sarang-nim already pointed, the attacks happened around HoneyMoon Convenience Store. Not only is it Noh Yuno’s workplace, but the floor above is also his official residence. So, it’s not hard to figure out that they’re sending a message to him."
"Yeah, that much is obvious. We just have to figure out the message they’re trying to send."
"I think I just figured it out after you said Noh Yuno can cure the zombies."
"What did you figure out?"
"They are raising Noh Yuno’s value as an E-Class Guide."
"For what?"
"Ki Gayoon, picture this. What if the zombie outbreaks spread all over the globe? And Noh Yuno is the only person who can cure them," Kwak Hakjase said nervously as if he had already pictured a very terrible future. "Do you think the other nations will just watch Noh Yuno cure the zombies in our country?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Oh.
I see it now.
"No, they wouldn’t stay still," Ki Gayoon said, clenching his jaw. "They’ll try to kidnap Noh Yuno and force him to save their country, too."
"Exactly," Kwak Hakjae said while nodding. "There are other natural S-Class Espers in the world, Ki Gayoon. Can you fight all of them to keep Noh Yuno safe?"
