POOR KIDS.

Yuno clicked his tongue internally.

A mic was already attached to him, so he didn’t want to make unnecessary noises. Especially not when he was about to start treating children.

He always took his job seriously.

"Ah, before I begin the operation, let me introduce my assistants for today," Yuno said while wearing his surgical gloves. Then he politely pointed at Jericho and 17 with both hands. "You probably know them already, but we have the #1 World Ranker and his exclusive Guide with us. 17-nim and Jericho-nim aren’t here just to assist me, though. The fact that they’re here holds a significant meaning."

17 and Jericho only nodded.

The two decided to let Yuno do most of the talking.

This is one of the few times running my mouth won’t get me killed.

Probably.

Hopefully.

Anyways...

"As you know, 17-nim isn’t just the #1 World Ranker— he’s also the face of the Awakened World Organization, aka the law of all Awakened People in the entire world," Yuno said casually, his eyes already assessing the ’sleeping’ male student in front of him. The kid’s complexion was almost purplish now, but he could still be saved. "That means this broadcast is being sponsored by AWO itself. And that means I’m being protected by AWO. If there’s an organzation, country, nation, or kingdom stupid enough to touch me just because you think I’m valuable, then get ready to fight AWO. 17-nim will be the last of your worries, then."

"Right," 17 agreed while nodding. "I’m not the only World Ranker ready to protect Yuno. But forget about us. You should actually worry more about earning Gayoon’s wrath. That bastard is scarier and more dangerous than all World Rankers combined."

"Yep, what he said," Yuno said nonchalantly, and then he turned to Jericho. "Jericho-nim, can you take care of that patient?" He pointed at the female student next to the patient in front of him. "Just follow my instructions. You remember what I taught you before, right?"

Of course, they had already practiced beforehand.

This is not something you can do on the spot, unless you’re me.

But there was a reason behind that spiel.

"Yes, Garam. I remember," Jericho said, and Yuno thought the older Guide was a better actor than he thought. "But you also know that my Mana isn’t exactly built like yours. So, I’m not sure if I can heal the infected patients with my own power."

"I’ve already solved that problem, Jericho-nim. I have the thing that will close the gap between our abilities," Yuno said, his voice sounding a little more enthusiastic than usual. He even flashed a business smile while pulling out a small pot from his Inventory— a small honeypot, to be precise. Of course, that honeypot had HoneyMoon’s famous logo. He looked straight into the camera while holding the product in his hands. "Everyone, this is HoneyMoon’s new product that we call HoneyMiracle— the pill that will activate a certain skill in Guides."

MOON NOA almost choked on his tea while watching Noh Yuno’s broadcast.

Yes, it was true that he named the brat his heir.

Hence, Noh Yuno had the right to create a new product without his permission.

But I didn’t expect him to really make one while I’m away...

Noh Yuno was truly an enigma.

"You know, I’ve always thought about this..."

Moon Noa tore his gaze away from the computer screen to look at Haru, who was sitting on the bed while leaning against the headboard.

Yes, the dethroned prince was already awake.

Haru was still a bit weak, but he was recovering fast— all thanks to Moon Noa’s Guiding.

In fact, the two of them were holding each other’s hands while watching Noh Yuno’s live broadcast.

"Yuno-kun really loves HoneyMoon."

"Does he now?"

"That kid promotes HoneyMoon and its products every chance he gets," Haru said, clearly amused. "Maybe instead of making him work at the convenience store as a part-timer, you should have hired him as a brand ambassador."

"Should I?" Moon Noa chuckled. "Well, Yuyu my heir. He can do whatever he wants once the world is safe again."

"You sound confident that everything will still return to normal."

"If Yuyu and Yoonyoon fail, we’re doomed— we’re all going to die. But I actually realized recently that I still want to live, so I’m placing all my faith in those two."

Haru’s face suddenly beamed. "Noa-san, did that realization hit you because of me?"

"What the hell are you saying?"

"Am I your new reason to continue living?"

Aigoo.

Moon Noa fell silent, debating whether he should feed Haru’s delusion or ignore him.

He also wanted to make fun of Haru a little.

But I don’t have the heart to do that when he’s looking at me like that...

Like Moon Noa was the only thing Haru could see at the moment.

[GUIDE MOON NOA.]

Aigoo.

Moon Noa was busy admiring Haru’s handsome face when his Status Window suddenly popped up.

[The System is sending Esper Ryu Sungbin to you.]

Excuse me???

TO BE HONEST, Ki Gayoon also didn’t know how Matthew managed to get a physical body.

The System probably did something again.

But it didn’t matter.

Obviously, the System sent Matthew there to help him.

Ah, it kinda stings.

Ki Gayoon’s pride was hurt because someone younger than him— someone who was already gone— had come to his rescue.

It’s my duty to protect this brat and not the other way around.

"Gayoon Hyung, this physical body will only last for a moment," Matthew said when he turned around to face Ki Gayoon. And then he pulled an oxygen mask out of thin air. "This Item will help you get rid of the miasma. Can I put this on you?" He paused for a moment, and then he shook his head and changed the question. "Can you trust me one last time, Hyung?"

If Matthew asked that question a few months ago, then the answer would be ’no.’ 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

However...

"Do it," Ki Gayoon said without hesitation. "Let’s work together for the last time, Matthew."
