Chapter 223

A day had passed.

The little thief was surprised when she did not find the hostage in Kyon's house. His explanation, "I kidnapped her just to talk," didn't sound convincing. She had a gut feeling that something was wrong. The boy was a total mystery. She should have spied on him...

She was also interested in the fast weapon that he had used to kidnap his sister. When she asked Kyon to take a look at it, he promised to teach her how to use it as soon as she became his protector. Well, she could wait a couple of days. The weapon that carried energy at an incredibly high speed would always come in handy.

Juno's return to the central part of the family territory without protection came as a great surprise. It turned out that the guards had run away, like the previous three, to avoid punishment for their incompetence.
