Chapter 212

Translator: Yonnee

—

“…What?”

“It’s hard to believe, I know. I wouldn’t believe it either. But isn’t the fact that I crossed dimensions already unbelievable?”

Ciel was so dumbfounded that he didn’t see the point in responding. Initially, it was tough when he first learned this fact, but now it didn’t matter.

So what if the place he lived in was from a novel?

What mattered was that people lived here.

And more importantly, his wife was alive and breathing here. That was what mattered most to him.

Seo-yoon was taken aback by Ciel’s lack of shock but tried not to show it. She muttered to the indifferent Ciel,

“Don’t you want to live a real life? If you cross dimensions with me, you’ll find that real life exists. Real life! How about it? Aren’t you curious?”

While still bound by Ciel’s wind ability, Seo-yoon appealed desperately, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, a hint of contempt appeared on his previously expressionless face.

“…You’ll regret it if you don’t believe me.”

Seo-yoon tried everything to escape his ability, even resorting to threats, but it was futile. She started worrying as Ciel remained unmovable. She had a premonition that being misunderstood and taken to the palace or temple would make dimension traveling difficult in the future.

Even if she hid her phone well, she knew that she might confess if she’d be put under torture.

No, no. It should be fine with the Crown Prince there.

Various thoughts raced through her mind. As Seo-yoon was contemplating an escape from Ciel—

BOOOM!

—A deafening noise erupted right beside them.

“Kyaaahh!”

As the building collapsed with a thunderous noise, Seo-yoon screamed, and Ciel immediately rose into the air to assess the situation.

“AAAAHH!”

The ensuing screams of people turned Seo-yoon pale, while Ciel quickly began annihilating monsters using his wind ability.

“Uh?”

At that moment, the invisible wind holding Seo-yoon loosened. She quietly stepped back, not taking her eyes off Ciel, who was attacking the monsters in the air.

Moving silently, she quickly hid behind a wall before he noticed her.

Just as she was about to flee, his words echoed in her mind.

“…No way. How could the monster wave be related to dimensional travel?”

The message on her phone mentioned a hazardous occurrence, but there was no mention of it being a monster wave. So, it couldn’t be her fault.

“No, it can’t be. Get a grip, Seo-yoon.”

She wasn’t going to be here long anyway, so what did it matter? This was just a world from a mere novel.

While Ciel was still distracted, Seo-yoon sneaked a look at him and pulled out her phone. Seeing her rank clearly displayed on the screen, she couldn’t hide her joy.

“I’ve reached B-Class!”

She accidentally spoke loudly, then quickly checked above. Seeing Ciel still looking elsewhere, she hurriedly opened the app.

〈 Would you like to return to Earth? 〉

Without any hesitation, she swiftly pressed [Yes].

〈 The law of equivalent exchange must be observed. Returning to Earth comes with the price of prompting a hazardous occurrence.

Would you like to continue? 〉

Despite the familiar warning, her eyes no longer wavered. Instead, with eyes filled with madness, she pressed agree.

A tear in the fabric of time and space opened up in front of her, yet it no longer scaring her.

“If it means raising my rank…”

She was willing to do even worse things.

As Seo-yoon stepped into the dark space, Ciel turned his head. He tried to catch her by using his ability, but it was already too late.

All he caught was a single shoe. Staring at the shoe floating in mid-air, Ciel cursed bitterly.

“Damn it!”

He felt like a fool for letting her escape after catching her, but he couldn’t just watch the civilians suffer. He lifted all the monsters into the air and incinerated them.

Using such an energy-intensive technique was not his preference, but he couldn’t waste any more time. And with that woman having crossed dimensions again, another monster wave might be imminent.

The thought of another monster wave occurring before he even finished dealing with the current one was infuriating.

But as much as he was filled with rage over this unbelievable situation, his immediate task was to deal with the monsters and ensure the safety of the civilians.

He had found traces of Irene but still didn’t know her exact location. Worry for her made his heart race.

His heart urged him to quickly find his imprinted Guide, but he couldn’t abandon the responsibility resting on his shoulders.

Instead of chasing the vanished Seo-yoon, Ciel perfectly annihilated the monsters attacking the civilians.
