There Is No World For ■■

* * *An invisible force lifted Baonic’s body and sent him flying through the air as he crashed into a tree before plummeting to the ground.And judging by how his body was twitching, it was fortunate that he wasn’t dead, though it would be a while before he regained consciousness.Faced with the sudden, unexpected situation, Seti and Yeomyeong had different reactions.Yeomyeong, who had a good guess as to who the invisible attacker was, sighed and stretched his hand towards them.Meanwhile, Seti, who hadn’t thought of the possibility that someone might be wearing an Invisibility Cloak, immediately dashed next to Yeomyeong and swung her leg.Whoosh! She extended her leg straight and infused it with mana, slicing through the air.If Yeomyeong hadn’t used his hand, which was about to grab at the empty air, to block her kick, it would have been powerful enough to slice through the trees in the surroundings.It was a perfect execution of the Flying Kick technique, one she hadn’t performed in a long time.“…Yeomyeong, why did you stop me?”Seti, who had her leg grabbed unexpectedly, looked at Yeomyeong with a look of surprise.In a dangerous situation where, if not handled correctly, he could have taken the full brunt of the kick…“…Seti, just hold on for a moment.”Yeomyeong, seemingly unconcerned, simply let go of her leg and turned his gaze back to where Baonic had been.“Hey, what the hell are you doing? Why did you attack an innocent person all of a sudden?”“…”“First, take off the cloak, and let’s talk face-to-face…”Just as Yeomyeong reached out to pull off the Invisibility Cloak, a loud, frivolous voice yelled from the invisible space.“The two of them were following you!”Yeah, he had a feeling that the reason was something like that. Yeomyeong let out a bitter laugh.“I know.”“…You knew?”“Yeah, I was just about to ask them why they were following us.”There was no reply. Puzzled, Yeomyeong reached out towards the voice, but the figure had already moved elsewhere.Yeomyeong, grasping at empty air, belatedly gathered mana to enhance his senses.However, all he could hear was incoherent mumbling.Ah, really, I, this, there, thinking, that, um, you, and Seti, that, no, relationship, truly…A brief silence ensued. A leaf fell to the ground, blown by the wind, as Seti tilted her head in confusion.Tap, tap, tap!Then, the sound of footsteps echoed. The person was running away, unable to hide their panic.“Wait… Hey! Where are you going?”Yeomyeong shouted in the direction of the retreating footsteps. But the footsteps didn’t stop. Instead, they quickly grew even more distant.“Yeomyeong, is that…?”Only then did Seti work out the identity of the invisible attacker, and she looked astonished.The Saintess and her Invisibility Cloak.Yeomyeong saw Seti’s expression and gave her a bitter smile, then nudged her shoulder and made a request.“Go after her and help her calm down. She seemed pretty shaken up.”“…Only me? What about you?”“I have to take this bastard to the infirmary.”Yeomyeong pointed at Baonic, who lay twitching on the ground. He probably wouldn’t have died from those injuries, but leaving him there was a completely different issue.“Can I tag along as well? It’s not like I need to chase after her…”“…Seti.”Yeomyeong placed a hand on Seti’s shoulder.“…”“I don’t know what happened between the two of you or why things are like this, nor do I plan on asking until you’re ready to tell me. But… the Saintess considers you a friend. In situations like this, shouldn’t you go after her and help her calm down?”Seti chewed on her lip for a moment, then sighed upon seeing Yeomyeong’s expression.“…Alright. I’ll go find out why she’s behaving like this.”“If possible, try to calm her down as well. Please.”“…Why would I even need to be asked to do that?”Seti gathered mana into her feet as she spoke. And just as she was about to use her Flying Kick technique to chase after the Saintess, she turned around and added.“Oh, by the way, clear your schedule for this evening. We’ll be meeting my younger siblings, so be prepared.”“…Do I really need to prepare for something like that?”“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Before Yeomyeong could respond, Seti had already kicked the ground.As Yeomyeong watched her rapidly receding figure for a while, he thought about the only younger sibling of hers he had met.Siri, the red-haired girl he met back in Incheon.The bold girl who had tested him on the very day they met.…Could it be that the other sisters were all like Siri? If so, mere preparation might not be sufficient…With such useless thoughts, Yeomyeong walked towards Baonic.Upon a closer inspection, Baonic’s condition wasn’t as bad as he expected. Still, being a Superhuman, at least there wasn’t any broken bone.The lump on the back of his head was rather sizable, but… an injury like that could be quickly healed with the help of a priest-in-training.However, in order to avoid any complications, Yeomyeong carefully lifted Baonic by his shoulders and waist, avoiding the lump on his head.The moment he managed to prop up Baonic by letting him rest his arm on his shoulder for support…Rustle.A notebook fell from Baonic’s waistband.Whether by coincidence or inevitable fate, its lock came off as the notebook fell to the ground, revealing its contents.It seemed like the lock had broken when the Saintess threw him.“This is…”The book must have been pretty important for him to carry it around with a lock on it.Yeomyeong bent down to pick up the notebook. And though it wasn’t intentional, he naturally perused through the content of the opened notebook.The very first page of the notebook was marked with a large X… After reading what was written on that page, Yeomyeong’s golden eyes grew cold.
