Chapter 281: Free City Alliance: Epilogue (3)
Yerin was on the Sehee Research Institute shuttle bus, looking at the scenery outside.
It’s changing much faster than I thought.
The scenery of Songpa-gu, which once looked like ruins, was gradually returning to its original state.
It was a change happening as the Hungry Ghost hidden in the sinkhole disappeared and James Tower was built.
Newly constructed buildings and newly opened restaurants.
Waving inflatable tube men soliciting customers were frequently seen.
While observing the scenery through the window like that, Yerin smiled softly, seeing something faintly reflected in the glass.
A Golden Reaper was trying to slowly open the bag’s zipper, but its antennae got caught in it.
The Golden Reaper was so focused on trying to free its antennae that it didn’t even notice Yerin turning her head and looking down at it intently.
Pushing the zipper wildly with both hands, shaking its head side to side.
It could easily get out if it used its ghost form!
Strangely, it felt like Golden Reapers only used their ghost form when absolutely necessary.
Yerin, who considered herself a mini Reaper expert, could guess why they didn’t use their ghost form.
It wasn’t some special mini Reaper creed, but it seemed Golden Reapers valued the sensation of physical touch.
Just looking at their tendency to cling particularly to humans showed that.
Clinging with their whole body.
It was a slightly peculiar behavior even compared to other mini Reapers who liked humans.
Is it similar to how the Gray Reaper, which sees its surroundings like eyes through its skin, doesn’t wear clothes?
Ah, eye contact.
The Golden Reaper, finally freeing its antennae from the zipper, made eye contact with Yerin.
The Golden Reaper gasped with a ‘Huk!’ expression, its mouth wide open in surprise.
Just looking at its expression, it seemed to be shouting, ‘I have been discovered!’
“You were following me?”
Yerin smiled gently and slowly stroked the Golden Reaper.
Hehe.
The Golden Reaper, laughing like a child whose prank had been discovered, clung to Yerin’s hand with an embarrassed expression.
Click clack.
After getting off the shuttle bus, she slowly walked to her studio apartment.
Yerin placed the Golden Reaper on the table and turned on the TV.
