I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

As he did for me, Kwon Ji-hoon handed coffee with sugar cubes to Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin. Min Ah-rin asked me while holding a cup of hot steam.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi, are you going to go see Producer Edward?”

“I’m thinking about it, but it’s a bit awkward to go without contacting.”

“I know Deputy Master Chloe’s number. Should we call her?”

Chloe gave her contact information? I asked back without hiding my surprise.

“Is that really true?”

“Yes. Deputy Master Chloe gave it to me first. She said that this number is only used when she is in Korea. Maybe she expected that Yi-gyeol-ssi would come?”

If it was Chloe, that was a possibility. I nodded.

“Please, Min Ah-rin-ssi.”

“Okay. I’ll be right back.”

Min Ah-rin left the hospital room with her cell phone in hand. I looked at her back for a moment and then turned to Kim Woo-jin.

“Kim Woo-jin, do you have my cell phone?”

“I did keep it.”

Since it was a cell phone secretly made by Cheon Sa-yeon, it might be better to leave it to Kim Woo-jin than to own it. I tapped Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder who tilted his head slightly while waiting for Min Ah-rin.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

After about five minutes of talking, Min Ah-rin returned to the hospital room and smiled brightly.

“Deputy Master Chloe said it’s okay to come right now. What a relief.”

“That’s good. We’re leaving right away.”

I shifted my gaze to Kwon Jeong-han just in case.

“Master Kwon Ji-hoon is also here, so we will go together. You can rest.”

Jiing, Min Ah-rin’s cell phones vibrated. Min Ah-rin, who looked at her cell phone screen, continued.

“I also got the hotel address by text. It’s not far from here.”

“Then let’s fly.”

As I answered briefly, I opened the window of the hospital room wide. The warm breeze of spring tickled my face.

“Yi-gyeol-hyung.”

“……”

Kwon Jeong-han, who was watching me calmly, called me. As I turned around with an awkward smile at the name that tickled me, he put down the teacup he drank and opened his mouth.

“Have a safe trip.”

After that, I saw Kwon Ji-hoon playfully waving his hand.

“Yes. It was nice to meet you, Master Kwon Ji-hoon.”

“So am I. If there is a chance, I will see you again next time.”

First, I flew out the window and held hands with Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin. The hotel where Deputy Master Chloe and Edward were staying was about a 30-minute walk from Requiem Guild, so it would be faster if we flew.

* * *

When we arrived in front of the hotel, the hotel staff waiting at the entrance led us to the top floor. As I stepped out of the elevator, an armed bodyguard scanned my body with a strange-looking pole.

“Please go in.”

When it was all done, the bodyguard took a step back and pointed to the door at the end of the hallway.

“What is that?”

“It is an item with a detection function. There is a risk of possessing a weapon in a state of mind control like Edward-ssi.”

Min Ah-rin whispered softly at my question. It was a good judgement, but apart from that, I could see how surprised Chloe was by the incident.

When we arrived at the door, the bodyguard standing next to us knocked and opened the door. There was a living room with rugs and a white Irish tablecloth. A pleasant voice could be heard through the scent of maple syrup.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

“Edward-ssi.”

Edward, who smiled brightly, ran to me and hugged me. I also hugged him and replied.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s okay.”

“Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

A soft voice came from in front. As I lifted the body lowered to embrace Edward again, Chloe in a beige shawl cardigan stood with a smile on her face.

“Hello, Deputy Master Chloe.”

“Welcome, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. The two of you in the back, too.”

Kim Woo-jin and Min Ah-rin, who followed me into the room, bowed briefly. Chloe’s blonde hair shone brightly in the sunlight coming through the window.

“Tea? Coffee? What would you like?”

“Um, I’d like a tea please.”

“Come and sit down.”

At that, Edward smiled broadly, grabbed my hand, and led me to the drawing-room. The teacup was filled with green tea and waffles sprinkled with maple syrup were placed in the centre.

“Talented Han Yi-gyeol. Eddy explained everything that happened there.”

After taking a sip of tea, Chloe opened her mouth with a firm expression.

“I heard that you were seriously injured, did you receive proper treatment?”

“Of course.”

Chloe let out a small sigh in response to my answer and straightened her back. The bright green eyes that looked exactly like Edward turned towards me.

“Thank you very much, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. What would have happened if you hadn’t protected our Eddy… Just imagining it is terrifying.”

“No. Don’t say that.”

I quickly put down the teacup I had been holding and shook my head.

“I also told Edward-ssi, but this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for me in the first place.”

“Well.”

Edward, who was sitting next to Chloe, glanced at the stiff conversation.

“It may or may not be.”

“…what does it mean?”

“It means the worst situation could have happened.”

“That.”

“It’s a consequential statement, but it’s also true. The bodyguard who was stabbed was also alive, and Eddy and you returned safely. In addition, information about the culprit was obtained. To be honest… this is a very good situation. Isn’t that right?”

Unable to answer the question, I bowed my head. To be honest, Chloe was right.

We found out a lot without any damage. Samael’s ability and the power he had, and how he tried to wield people.

But even so, I never thought that Chloe would say something like this.

“Are you surprised that I told you this?”

“To be honest… that’s right.”

“It’s understandable. I’m Eddy’s older sister.”

Chloe looked at Edward’s shaky eyes and held his hand. Chloe, who looked at Edward for a moment, continued her words again.

“Actually, I also resented you, Talented Han Yi-gyeol. I thought this wouldn’t have happened… it’s not because of you. I’m sorry.”

“No.”

To Chloe, Edward was a very precious family. So even if they hated me more than resentment, I could understand enough. Because I had a similar experience.

“Master Cheon Sa-yeon told me that. You’re not a villain, you’re the hero who saved Eddy.”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon defended me? I laughed bitterly at the unbelievable words. Indeed. It wasn’t for a day or two that I didn’t know what Cheon Sa-yeon was acting with.

“Anyway, to summarize, I have nothing but a grateful heart. So I hope you don’t mind me or Eddy. I don’t want to be awkward with Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

The last words were full of playfulness. I also relaxed my body and smiled.

“Thank you.”

“Great.”

Chloe, who lightly clapped her hands, got up from her seat.

“Our Eddy says he has something to talk to with Talented Han Yi-gyeol, so let the rest of us leave them be. Healer Min Ah-rin, I’ll show you around the room. The person next to you will also go with us.”

Kim Woo-jin looked at me with a worried expression. I nodded my head to signify that it was okay, following Chloe and Min Ah-rin to leave the drawing room.

I was the only one in the room, with Edward, who opened his mouth hesitantly, with his face painted pink as if embarrassed.

“That, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

“Yes?”

Edward, who had been contemplating for a while holding his small, white hand, looked at me with a nervous expression.

“I, I want to give you a present.”

“A present?”

“Yes. Do you have any items you need? The weapons are good, and the auxiliary products are good. There are quite a few items that I made! I will give you one of them.”

“Um…”

I licked my lips at the unexpected suggestion. If it had been a different situation, I would have accepted it without much thought, but I had no desire to even receive the item from the young Edward, who suffered because of me.

“No. It’s fine.”

When I refused with a smile, Edward opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth. It seemed that the shock was quite big that he didn’t know I was going to say no.

“I don’t have any items that I really need.”

“Bu, but still! There are also some very good items! There’s an S-class, A-class… How about a gun as a weapon? At that time, it seemed like you liked it!”

Suddenly Edward began to cling desperately. Surprised inwardly at how aggressively he was to rush at me from the other side of the table, I leaned my back on the sofa and smiled awkwardly.

“Please, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi. You can choose anything, so can you please accept it? Because you saved me, I want to repay you…”

As I continued to refuse, tears began to well up in Edward’s big eyes. I quickly pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped the tears from his cheeks.

“Don’t cry, Edward-ssi.”

“Sob, I’m going to give you a present and organize all the items, hiccup. I do, really, a lot of good items…”

“All right. All right. I will take it.”

At the words of Edward’s muffled voices, I finally surrendered. When Edward heard the answer, he quickly stopped crying and smiled broadly.

“Really? What item can I give you? Just speak!”

“Umm.”

What was the suitable item? I didn’t think it would be enough for Edward if I picked it roughly…

“Ah.”

Then, suddenly, something flashed through my mind. Red blood ran across his palms and scars were engraved all over his body.

‘But…’

Even if I received the item I was thinking of, I wasn’t sure if it would be a situation worth receiving. After thinking for a while, biting my lip, I asked Edward carefully.

“Edward-ssi, do you have any item to help stop bleeding?”

“Of course.”

When Edward tapped on the ring he was wearing, a small accessory box appeared in the air. The green velvet-wrapped accessory case opened to reveal an earring studded with red jewels.

“It’s an S-class recovery item. It speeds up the healing of wounds and poisons, and relieves some of the pain.”

I smiled bitterly as I accepted the accessory box that Edward had handed me. It was a red gem. If it suited him so well, I couldn’t help but give it to him.

“Hey, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

Edward, who looked at me quietly, asked cautiously.

“Maybe this item… Are you going to give it to the one I’m thinking of?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t have the items I need.”

“No. I’m repaying you with a grateful heart, so I like it no matter how you use it. More than that, I’m worried…”

Edward paused for a moment and continued, examining my reaction.

“That, will Cheon Sa-yeon-ssi accept it? As Han Yi-gyeol-ssi knows, Cheon Sa-yeon-ssi’s ability and the item are undoubtedly.”

“It doesn’t fit.”

That was the reason why I was thinking about it. Still, I liked this item.

“Thank you, Edward-ssi.”

When I thanked him with the accessory box in my hand, Edward smiled more comfortably.
