Chapter 197
Chapter 197
Lia, I, Speranza, Akum and Gyuri left the farm.
We were sent off by the farm members and headed to the dimensional gate to move on to the Human world.
Lia showed great nervousness looking at the gate.
Are you all right, Lia?
Ugh! I'm alright. I'm a bit nervous when I think that I'll be leaving the Demon world and will be going to another world."
The children approached Lia, who was shaking a little.
"It's okay, Popi! You just have to trust us, popi!"
Pow wo wooo.
Gyuri and Akum, who became familiar with Dimensional Gate, spoke confidently and showed a proud attitude.
I had a sneaky laugh looking at the children's childish behavior.
Speranza quietly approached Lia and held her hand tightly.
Speranza smiled at Lia, who had a slightly surprised look.
Perhaps because of Speranzas little hand holding her, a slight smile lingered on Lia's face, and the tremors all over her body subsided.
"Shall we move on now?"
"Ththat!"
"Is something wrong, Lia?"
"If you don't mind Can I hold Sihyeon's hand?"
Lia reached out to her hands, while her face started turning red.
I stared blankly at the hand for a moment, then smiled and held it.
She smiled shyly as our hands connected.
"Me too! I want to hold hands too, Popi!"
Pow wooo! wooooo!
You little punks
With a look of helplessness, I held Akum with one hand, and Speranza held out one hand for Gyuri.
As we all held our hands together like this, a satisfied smile filled the face of the children.
Shall we go now?
Yes, Sihyeon!
Yes Papa!
Let's go, Popi!
-Pow wo wooo!
With everyone's powerful answer, we took a step toward the dimensional gate.
As soon as we crossed the Dimensional Gate, Ryan greeted us.
"Welcome. Little buddies, and Lia, welcome."
The children smiled brightly and waved at Ryans greeting.
Lia replied with an awkward look.
Thank you for welcoming me, Ry Ryan.
Hahaha! Please come this way.
Following his lead, we opened the door and headed to the office.
As before, Ashmir and Director Lee were waiting there.
The two people who greeted me briefly immediately turned to Lia.
Ashmir, who had been looking for a while, went to Lia.
"Is this the person who is going to perform the mission with Sihyeon?"
"Yes, shes Lia, who's been helping me in the Demon world."
"Ummm"
Not only Lia but also the children behind me looked nervous at Ashmir's expression.
Can you give me your hand for a moment?
Huh? Oh, yes!
Lia pushed out one hand in a hurry.
As Ashmir clasped her hand on the back of Lias hand, white light poured out from there.
After a while, a subtle light appeared on the back of Lia's hand, where the light had disappeared.
"This pattern will last for the promised number of days. As long as this exists, you are free to be here. But please be aware that as soon as the pattern on the back of your hand disappears, the surveillance teams pursuit will begin."
Ashmir explained about the pattern like a robot.
Then she turned away from the blank-faced Lia and looked at the children hiding behind me.
-FLINCH!
The children who were still afraid of her shivered and hid further behind me.
"I'm done with my work, so I'll be on my way. If you have any problems, please contact the contact number I gave you last time. Then, Ill take my leave"
Ashmir, who looked at the children for a moment, left the place as soon as her work was done.
She was a burdensome character in many ways, so it was rather comfortable this way.
After Ashmir left, Director Lee stepped forward this time.
He greeted Lia in a courteous manner.
"Hello! My name is Lee Seok, and I'm the head of the dimensional management headquarters."
Lia looked perplexed at his greeting.
"Excuse me, Sihyeon. I don't understand what he's saying. By any chance, is he greeting me?"
"Oh! I forgot. Sihyeon, can you give the translator ring you have to Lia?"
"Okay. Lia put this."
I quickly handed Lia, the translator ring I had on my hand.
As soon as she wore the interpreter ring, she was able to communicate smoothly with Director Lee.
"Miss. Lia, please take this first."
"What is this?"
"This is a temporary alien registration card. You can use it while you're here and return it later."
Lia gleamed her eyes curiously at her ID.
"Sihyeon! Sihyeon! Look at this. Here's my face."
When it was confirmed that Lia will be coming to Korea, we sent her picture in advance at the request of Director Lee.
There was a slight change in the photo on the ID card.
The big horns that had grown on her head had been neatly erased.
Without her horns, she looked like an ordinary foreigner.
"Maybe Mr.Sihyeon might know this already, still, I will say it since its my duty. Please hide her identity as much as possible. Of course, please refrain her from using her abilities in crowded places. Also"
Director Lee explained to me some things to watch out for while Lia was staying here.
In the meantime, Lia showed off her ID card to the children.
"If you just keep an eye on what I just said, it won't be a problem. If you have any problems, please contact me right away. I'll take care of it."
"Thank you for your concern, Director Lee."
"Of course, it's my job. By the way
He came close to me and whispered in a low voice that was hard for others to hear.
"Is she really the one who will be escorting you?"
Director Lee felt anxious looking at Lias appearance.
His question didnt feel weird.
Looking at Lia in her maid dress, anyone would feel that she has nothing to do with combat.
There was a time when even I thought like that.
But it didn't take long for me to realize my thoughts were a huge illusion.
"Don't worry, Director Lee, Lia will be of great help in the mission."
"As Sihyeon said. You don't have to worry too much."
"If you two say so"
Director Lee nodded in a little uncomfortable way hearing mine and Ryan's answer.
After finishing his business here, Director Lee also left the office like Ashmir.
As soon as Director Lee went, Ryan took something out of his pocket.
It was two silver necklaces.
Lia, can you lower your head for a second?"
"Like this?"
"Yes, please wait a little longer."
Ryan placed the silver necklace on Lia's horns.
SWOOSH
As soon as the necklace was placed, Lias big horns slowly began to disappear.
The children who saw the phenomenon shouted in surprise.
"Wow!"
"The horn is disappearing, Popi!"
Po woo! wooooo!
Lia, who was also surprised along with the children, hurriedly took both hands toward the horns.
"Ryan, what happened?"
"The horns aren't really gone, so don't worry. I made sure that it wont be visible to others because it might seem strange to the people here."
She sighed with relief when she realized that her horns had not disappeared.
Oh! And you should also change that outfit.
Why? Huh, is my dress too old-fashioned? I brought the prettiest maid dress I had."
"Hahaha! It's not like that. There's no maid here. So, of course, no one dresses as a maid."
Unlike the Demon world, as Ryan said, maids are not common here.
If she walked around outside in that outfit, it would more likely be seen as a cosplay.
Lia looked shocked as soon as she heard that there were no maids in the Human world.
And now her face was sullen.
"Oh no I only brought my maid clothes"
I smiled and said to Lia, who was flustered.
"Don't worry about that. I'll buy you clothes to wear here."
"Oh, no I can't bother you"
"No, Its not a bother. Youre here to help me, so, of course, I should make you feel comfortable. Don't feel pressured."
But
It's really okay. Using this chance, try on other clothes besides maid clothes. Youre beautiful, so, other clothes will also look great on you."
Lia blushed as soon as she heard me.
Seeing her reaction, I belatedly realized what I had said to her.
For no reason, I felt embarrassed and my face slightly heated up.
Lia spoke in an audible whisper.
"Then I'll do as Sihyeon says"
"Yes Please look forward to it."
"..
I felt tickled in my chest when I saw Lia bowing her head with redness up to the nape of her neck.
Tuk.
When I turned my head feeling the poking on my side, Ryan gave me a playful look with a strange smile.
His eyes looked as if they were saying, [That's a pretty good one, pal].
I felt hot in the room as my body heated up with embarrassment.
Looking out the window with a blank stare, I hoped this awkward atmosphere would disappear quickly.
I took Lia and the children to the car and headed home.
There was a lot of traffic due to a slight overlap in the rush hour, but I couldn't feel bored at all.
"This, how does this work? Is this also an artifact?
"Is all that tall things, buildings?"
"That person has the same thing as Sihyeon."
Just looking at Lia admiring the scenery of the modern city, I couldn't stop laughing.
The children chattered with excitement at her appearance.
"Oh! There's an ice cream shop! Popi!"
Woooo! wowoww!
"Papa, I want ice cream!"
The children who recognized the ice cream shop among the fast-passing buildings nagged me for ice cream.
"What are you going to do for dinner if you eat ice cream now? Grandma must be waiting to have dinner with you guys."
"I can have ice cream and dinner, Popi!"
-Pooo! woooo!
"Papa! Just a little bit."
"Okay, but you shouldnt say you will not have dinner later."
I couldn't win over the children's unruly cuteness.
I had to pull over next to the ice cream shop.
I bought ice cream for the children and Lia and handed it over to them.
In the noisy rear seat, tranquility came thanks to the ice cream.
Lia also took her eyes off the window and focused on moving the small spoon.
I drove the car while looking in the rear mirror with satisfaction at the cute appearance that was focused on eating.
By the time the children and Lia ate all the ice cream, the car had entered the parking lot in front of my apartment.
I got out of the driver's seat first to get the kids off safely
"Huh? Hey, what is this? Are you coming home now?"
Yerin, who seems to have finished parking before me, approached this way.
I was going to greet her as usual, but suddenly, I remembered the Demon in the back seat of my car.
Ah How am going to explain this?
