I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

131

When I put the item in the hood zip-up pocket I was wearing and left the drawing-room, Chloe, who was talking with Min Ah-rin while looking at the piano-shaped music box, turned around.

"Did the conversation finish well?"

Chloe immediately turned to look at Edward who was next to me.

"Eddy. Seeing the bright expression on your face, it must have worked out as you wanted."

"Yes."

Whether she already knew Edward's opinion that he wanted to give me the item, Chloe asked a playful question. Edward nodded his head shyly.

"Talented Han Yi-gyeol."

Chloe walked gracefully and stood in front of me, holding my hand with her fine, soft hand.

"Just as Eddy gave you the item, I will repay you. From this moment on, with the honour of the Athena Guild Deputy Master, I will grant you one request. Whatever it is."

"Hold on. I..."

"You don't mean to say no, are you?"

As if she knew what I was trying to say, Chloe covered my mouth and grinned.

"And I owe Eddy and the man who kidnapped you. To catch him, I really want to help. Please don't worry about this as it's my personal feeling rather than a request."

Chloe continued, in a slightly low voice.

"When I return to the guild, I will find out about the culprit. If we have any good information, we will pass it on to you."

"...thank you, Deputy Master Chloe."

Understanding Chloe's feelings, I accepted her proposal. Above all, the number of places where information could be obtained was increasing, so I had no reason to refuse.

Satisfied with my answer, Chloe let go of my hand and told us.

"Since you're here, would you like to have dinner? The hotel chef here is pretty good. How is it?"

"Um, no. I'm fine, but Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin came out without a word. I think we should go back soon."

"Oh, no. What a shame."

"......"

Unlike Chloe, who had a light attitude, Edward made a gloomy face by lowering the tip of his eyebrows as if he was really regretful. I bowed down and shook hands with Edward.

"I'll stay a little longer next time, Edward-ssi."

"Yes, yes."

Edward smiled broadly and quickly nodded his head several times. It was so cute that I unknowingly stroked Edward's soft blonde hair. Fortunately, Edward was just shy, but he didn't seem particularly offended.

"Come on, Min Ah-rin-ssi. Kim Woo-jin. Come closer."

I took my shoes in hand and opened the window. Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin, who each shook hands with Chloe, approached me.

"Flying through the window. The wind ability is so romantic."

Romantic? It was the first time I had such an impression, so I just rolled my eyes and raised my energy. The hair fluttered as the wind gently wrapped around the body.

I went out the window, put on my shoes while floating in the air, reached out and grabbed Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin.

"Then we should get going... Deputy Master Chloe?"

As I was about to say goodbye to Chloe and Edward, I stopped speaking. Chloe's eyes, with a look of bewildered wherever they looked, were sparkling with a light powder.
