Chapter 300 - Chiral (2)

They departed for London, England. Kang Shin-hyuk let out a sigh at Eleanor, who seemed to have no intention of moving away from him.

“Are you really going?”

“Yes. I won’t fail.”

The suspicion that he had been two-timing, which gradually disappeared after his identity was discovered, was once more on the rise. However, from his point of view, it was actually helpful for Eleanor to come along. It would be a good way to keep Lee Na-hee in check!

“Wouldn’t it be better to stay here? I don’t know if there will be more issues because of Eli.”

“It’ll happen anyway, so I’d better go. As a bonus, I can also get rid of the fly around Shin-hyuk.”

“Once upon a time, a philosopher said, to know yourself...”

“That is something Na-hee must keep in mind.”

Kang Shin-hyuk sighed at the two fighting before they even left school. It was then...

“Hey, do well.”

“Okay... Ah.”

Claire, who hadn’t been in physical contact with him in public because of the people’s gazes, kissed Kang Shin-hyuk as the two were arguing.

“Ah.”

“Ah, aah!”

“Unnie!”

The two, as well as all the faculty members and students who came to see them off, froze in unison as Claire smiled with satisfaction and quietly placed her index finger to his lips.

“I’ve put a lock on your lips now. You can’t do this with other women.”

“Yes, please believe in that part.”

Kang Shin-hyuk held her hand in reply. Claire nodded with a slightly relieved expression. It wasn’t like this before, but after Shin Eunah disappeared, Claire’s obsession had grown slightly. Since a close friend disappeared in front of her, he thought she might be doing this unconsciously to fill that emptiness with Kang Shin-hyuk. However, he couldn’t say that out loud out of fear that he might hurt her. Next to them, Lee Na-hee’s cheeks went red as she pointed at Claire.

“How could you do that in front of everyone, unnie?!”

“Is this an elementary school? We can say goodbye.”

Claire responded with faint anxiety that only Kang Shin-hyuk was able to recognize. Lee Na-hee pouted at her leisurely appearance.

“Is that just a goodbye? Then can’t I do it too? Every morning and night with my junior...”

“It’s not just a goodbye; it’s one only we do because we’re dating.”

“And Na-hee, despite not dating in Paris last year...”

“Ahhh! I can’t hear you!”

“...What sort of cartoon is this?”

“Explode...! Please explode!”

The party was able to set off barely after that. Surprisingly, they took a light aircraft from the school’s new airfield directly to the Heathrow airport.

“Oh, it’s pretty big?”

“It’s okay.”

“It’s funny to see that the school has an airfield.”

“It’s the trend. Maybe your influence will be great.”

“Grandpa, let’s go in. I’m tired.”

“Okay.”

The reason why the airfield was created was simple. Due to the decrease in superhumans in each country, it was difficult to maintain routes, and the number of aircraft operations had reduced to a tenth of their previous number. As such, it became difficult to obtain tickets and to control timing, so in the case of large institutions, they turned towards operating their own aircraft. Of course, the new airfield and planes Shinyoung had were thanks to support from the government and various companies. Among them, many foreign companies had to assist out of a desire to show off to Kang Shin-hyuk. He increasingly felt that his existence was having a large influence on Shinyoung, and now he was growing somewhat anxious about whether he would remain there. But he couldn’t turn back now.

“Eli, are you really not going to ride?”

“Yes, because I’m an escort.”

Lee Manwoo and Lee Na-hee already went inside while Eleanor climbed onto Hell’s back, claiming to be Kang Shin-hyuk’s guard. Ever since the battle in Africa, Hell had not only been following Kang Shin-hyuk but also Eleanor, having grown closer to her as well.

“I don’t need any other escort personnel with you here...”

Even without that, there would be a way. For example, he could assimilate Onyx with the airplane’s fuselage to raise its defense to the extreme or borrow drones from Claire to use as an escort. However, Eleanor wouldn’t step back, saying she would defend the plane.

“That’s why no one knew you were a princess.”

“Hell, please take care of it.”

-Kuruuuuu

The hell spike wyvern was no slower than an airplane, so it seemed like a safe flight. In the first place, they all could have flown wyverns, but that was a bad way to enter Britain without any warning.

“Then please, Eli.”

“Yes, leave it to me. If Na-hee tries to do something inside, shout.”

“No, it’s okay?”

May those two never break their friendship themselves. Kang Shin-hyuk boarded the plane with a sigh to find Lee Na-hee lying down.

“Oh, I’ve been working hard since morning, and I’m tired...”

“Who’s to blame for that?”

“Me...”

“No, I’m glad.”

“Ah...”

Kang Shin-hyuk sighed and wrapped a blanket around her shoulders. Even though he knew such careful consideration would make her greedy, it was impossible to be deliberately rude.

“I’d also like a good night kiss.”

“No.”

“Cheh, I hate you.”

“Just blame me.”

“No, my unnie is bad.”

Not that Claire was great in the first place for engaging in excessive affection in front of everyone, but Lee Na-hee might’ve been worse. It was pointless to say that to Lee Na-hee, though. Instead of kissing, he gently stroked her forehead.

“Uh?!”

“Maybe there will be a lot of disturbing things where we’re going. Rest now.”

“Treating me like this... Please pet me more.”

“I’ll really leave.”

The plane soon took off. Hell, having already taken flight, swung over the sky to announce it was safe. Kang Shin-hyuk prayed that the British royal family wouldn’t do anything stupid as he laid down himself. Lee Na-hee turned to face him, whispering.

“Hey, doesn’t it feel like we’re lying together?”

“Grow up a little.”

***

A few hours later, the plane landed safely at Heathrow airport. Around them, people were surprised to see a brave wyvern escorting the airplane alone, but even more surprising was the identity of the girl on that wyvern.

“Isn’t she the princess?”

“Why is the princess on a wyvern...?”

“Ah, Shin Eun-hyuk!”

“The Puppeteer!”

He was expecting it, but there was no privacy to be found. Kang Shin-hyuk sighed at the flashes coming from all directions before they even left the terminal. The British wanted to make Kang Shin-hyuk and Eleanor theirs, not only the royal family.

“Just one interview, please!”

“Can you see me? This way!”

They tried to approach them and capture the two together, but Lee Na-hee’s competitive spirit was flaring. If she hadn’t heard Claire before they left, she might’ve taken his arm.

“Look, isn’t Eli more dangerous than me?”

“Are you really sticking with that sort of excuse?”

“How’d you know?”

With Hell on her shoulder, Eleanor caused all the reporters to scatter as she approached him and Lee Na-hee.

“Na-hee, get away. You have to be especially careful about anything that merits a photo.”

“Isn’t that a remark from an experienced person?”

-Murrrr

Hell laughed as she flapped her wings and moved over to Kang Shin-hyuk’s shoulder. Wait...

“What happened?”

“After landing, she suddenly got smaller.”

“I know she’s smaller.”

Kang Shin-hyuk petted the mini Hell and looked at her with his spiritual power. Despite being smaller, there was no change in ability. It seemed that this dramatic change was possible due to Kang Shin-hyuk’s ability.

“You’ve become cute.”

-Myuruuu

Because it grew smaller, its crying became cuter. Eleanor and Lee Na-hee looked at Hell sternly as he petted her. As Kang Shin-hyuk’s eyes narrowed at them, they turned away quickly. Surely they weren’t jealous of Hell? Lee Manwoo, ahead of them now, called out.

“Don’t play around; let’s go quickly. Still, shouldn’t we do some sightseeing?”

“The tourist attractions are empty due to the attacks.”

“So, won’t it be more fun to play?”

“Oh, what’s different for someone who’s lived a long time?”

“Granddaughter, I know you’re excited, but do it in moderation.”

Lee Manwoo walked in the lead, with Kang Shin-hyuk following behind, with Lee Na-hee and Eleanor quarreling in the back for who walked next to him. As they tried to exit the airport, a group wearing shiny armor lined up in front of them.

“Oh, they showed up at the time I expected.”

Kang Shin-hyuk mumbled as the man in the most colorful armor came forward and bowed politely to Kang Shin-hyuk.

“I sincerely welcome your visit to the UK. I want to have Kang Shin-hyuk meet the royal family. Would you please come with me?”

“Even my party?”

“Of course.”

His face changed little, even with Eleanor put right in front of him. He had well anticipated this. But, Kang Shin-hyuk began to mumble vacantly.

“Hmm, what to do? Will it be better than the hotel we booked?”

“Ah, of course.”

Perhaps his attitude was unexpected, as the man’s voice trembled. He pretended to think for a moment before nodding happily.

“Okay, then. We’ll do some sightseeing and go in the evening.”

“Yes?”

“Can’t we just check in now?”

At Kang Shin-hyuk’s prickly question, the man stiffened. Instead, Lee Na-hee spoke up.

“We’ll see everything on our own, so just tell us your address.”

“Well...”

“Then, I’ll see you in the evening.”

The armored men trembled, but the party neatly ignored them and passed by. Eleanor looked relieved.
