The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Concept of Friendship is Transaction?

"What are you doing here?"

"Why did you follow me?"

The four classmates were finally reunited. But the instant they did, they simultaneously asked a question.

Aisha decided to tell them a partial truth about why she was here since they had already overheard her conversation with Nykos and the man with the tracking ability.

"I’m here to look for my brother," she explained. "I heard he went missing on the day of my annulment ceremony. And his crewmates were recently seen in Sector Nine to ask them."

She didn’t need to go over the gory details of how her search went or how two lives were taken for the sake of it. Aisha didn’t want these young classmates of hers to know such things too early in their lives.

For somebody with the mentality of someone who was years older than them and knew what danger lies in every corner, it’d be wrong for her to take the happiness and innocent layer of their lives away because of her issues.

Sabel looked at her in concern. "No wonder you were acting strangely when we were sparring earlier. You should’ve told us first."

"That’s right." Vesper agreed.

Finally, they understood why she was so out of it when they were at the house she was staying. It turned out that it was because her adoptive older brother had gone missing. She must have received information and had to head out in secret to find more.

Aisha was startled by what they said. Her brows furrowed before she softly asked, "Why should I?"

Vesper and Sabel stiffened at her words. They both looked at her in disbelief.

Kane stepped forward with a frown. "What do you mean, Aisha?"

Aisha also wanted to ask what they meant just now. She said, "This doesn’t have anything to do with any of you. Was it really necessary for me to tell you?"

"Aisha... do you know what you’re saying?" Sabel exhaled.

Aisha nodded. "Yes. What happened to my older brother has nothing to do with you. So, you didn’t have to follow me. And I don’t want you to—"

Before she could tell them she didn’t want them to put themselves in danger for her, Sabel interjected fiercely. "What the hell? We followed you because we wanted to help!"

That confused Aisha even more. Why would they help her? She hadn’t done anything tantamount to get their help in finding Zenick.

"If you helped, I won’t be able to compensate you enough."

Her words seemed to bring some shock to her classmates. Aisha felt she wasn’t wrong to say this. After all, finding Zenick and making sure he was alive would require a lot more effort and force to make it successful. Even with all the money she had in her account and the items she owned, she felt it wouldn’t be enough to compensate the three of them.

Then, there was also Zenick and his men, who had helped her track her older brother. She would need to pay them back for that as well.

That was how she was always. Or at least, how her previous world worked. You don’t get help for free and expect somebody to wave it off with a smile. Anyone who offered her help or helped her asked her for something. And if she couldn’t produce anything, they’d make ruthless attacks on her.
