92.
“Can I ask you what the price is?”
Hyeon-woo answered Ga-jun’s question.
“He asked me to be his partner.”
“Come to think of it, I'm curious about that. What does he mean by that? Is he asking you to marry him?”
“More or less. However, being a partner is a bit different from a normal marriage relationship. It’s a bit more deeply entangled. If you become a partner, you share your life. So you both will die at the same time.”
“That’s possible? Interesting. But you’re not going to do that, right?”
“I don’t know.”
Hyeon-woo drank the remaining soup in one gulp and closed his mouth.

“Ack! Ack! Ack!”
The fairy screamed and somersaulted in the air. Even after going around one, two, or three times, her mind was not stable.
“Stop being crazy and take the mission.”
Another fairy who was watching it from the side spit out a nag with a pathetic expression, but he didn’t even hear it.
“Why! What’s missing? The No. 1 of the Demon Realm has gone to the Human Realm!”
“He said he went because he loved humans.”
“Yeah, that’s weird! Why does he love humans?”
“Do I care? Hurry up and get your mission done.”
“Ugh, how did I get out of there?”
The fairy shed tears and accepted the paper with the mission written on it.
“Go to the Human Realm and return Alberg to the Demon Realm.”
“What kind of mission is this? Do you think you can just go to the Demon Realm!”
“I won’t go. Cheer up. Solve it as soon as possible, or I’ll make a fuss in heaven. They’re slowly realizing that something unusual has happened to the Human Realm.”
The other fairies jumped out as soon as they were handed over the mission, fearing that they might get entangled.
The remaining fairies slumped their shoulders and threw their hands into the air to create a portal. Fairies were those who crossed the world, and moving to another dimension was fairly easy for them.
“Yeah, let’s go. Let’s go and fix it.”
The fairy put on a hard expression and threw herself through the portal. The human realm is wide, but it wasn’t difficult to find Alberg. It was because she needed to find the energy of the strongest demon.
If there was one problem, it was that there was someone besides Alberg who could find her.
Snatch.
A thin, white hand grabbed the fairy that jumped out of the air.
“Gyaaak!”
The moment the embarrassed fairy looked back; she saw a familiar face.
“Why are you out here?”
Ji Hyeon-woo, a monster sent to the Human Realm by the fairy, was holding him.
“Why are you here?”
Hyeon-woo, who crumpled his forehead, asked in a stern voice. They didn’t have a good time together, so they weren’t on good terms with each other.
‘But I was very considerate of him!’
Even if she felt it was unfair, Hyeon-woo did not share the sentiment.
“What else are you going to do?”
The grip is getting stronger.
“I’ll break, I’ll break! My body is going to snap in two!”
“Then break”
“You cruel person!”
“Whatever. What’s going on here?”
“It’s a mission, a mission. There’s good news for Hyeon-woo-nim too!”
Only then did the strength in his grip diminish a little.
“What’s your mission?”
“It’s to return Alberg-nim to the Demon Realm!”
“Why is that good for me?”
“That’s right, Hyeon-woo-nim, don’t you have any intention of becoming Alberg-nim’s partner?”
“That’s right.”
Hyeon-woo silently nodded.
“That’s right, I think you are right. Fairies have deeper and broader knowledge than anyone else.”
“Is that so?”
The fairy whistled for no reason and averted her gaze. However, it was useless against Hyeon-woo. He held the fairy in his hand and walked away.
The little fairy’s heartbeat in anxiety. But what happened after that was a bit different than she thought.
“Is there any way to cure this person?”
Hyeon-woo asked in a muffled voice. It was the first time she had heard such a dejected voice.
“First of all, I shouldn’t meddle in the Human Realm.”
“Is there any way to cure him?”
Again, the strength went into his hands. The fairy desperately tapped the back of Hyeon-woo’s hand.
“There is, there is!”
Living first was more important right now.
“What is it?”
The voice asking felt urgent.
“There’s–”
As soon as the fairy was about to speak, another voice interrupted.
“There’s what?”
It was Alberg.
“Alberg.”
“Unn, Hyeon-woo-ya.”
Hyeon-woo pulled the fairy in his hand to his chest. At the same time, goosebumps ran down the fairy’s spine. Alberg was obviously smiling, but the atmosphere was bloody.
“What are you holding in your hand?”
“Don’t you know?”
“Yeah, I know. It’s a fairy, huh?”
The fairy ran her hand over the nape of her neck. After all, what was the point of getting in between the monsters? She wanted to run away from this place, but she was saddened by the fact that she couldn’t.
“Fairies are capricious beings. Do you believe that being will tell the truth?”
“I believe her. So this time you back off.”
Hyeon-woo said firmly. Then the sharp atmosphere slowly began to subside.
Alberg’s expression also changed. It was the same smiling face, but it didn’t feel real.
“Ah, really. I wondered if I could achieve what I wanted this time, but a fairy appeared. I guess I’m out of luck. Yes, I lost. I’ll tell you how to treat him.”
“I can just ask the fairy.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if you listened to me too?”
“That’s true.”
Similarly, Hyeon-woo’s sharp momentum faded. And the fairy was heard again and went back to the common room with Alberg.
“Now, tell me.”
“Is it the one who was cursed by the dragon?”
“Yeah.”
“There are only two kinds of beings who can lift the curse of a dragon skilled in magic. A dragon or Celestial people with similar abilities.”
“Is that right?”
Hyeon-woo looked at Alberg and asked.
“That’s right.”
“But there’s a problem here.”
Alberg listened to the fairy’s words.
“Dragon and Celestial people are rare races. Apparently, like Tiamat got hurt, but she’s a pretty strong dragon even though she’s crazy.”
“Can’t you do it with Two-eyed?”
“That’s tough. He’s rumored to have fallen down the rankings even within the same dragon race. His magical literacy is especially terrible. I don’t think you shouldn’t even try.”
At those words, Hyeon-woo bit his messed-up lips again.
“It’s not that there isn’t a way, though.”
The fairy said.
“In fact, some heterogeneous people live in hiding in the human world. If caught, they will be taken back to their original world, so they live hiding their powers, but you should find them and ask for their help.”
“They live in hiding; how can I find them?”
“You have to figure it out yourself.”
“Or there are other ways.”
Alberg laughed and said, and the fairy trembled and asked.
“That’s not the way I think, is it?”
“I can simply increase my strength.”
It was not for nothing that Libby used Kai to create a barrier. If you exert more than a certain amount of power, you have no choice but to be caught by the heavens.
“No way! Even now, I’m barely hiding it from the Celestial realm, but then I’m sure they’ll find out! It’s going to be a mess in the Celestial Realm! Do you want them coming down to earth? Do you intend to start a war between the Celestial and the Demons?”
At those words, Hyeon-woo looked at Alberg. He didn’t know why he suddenly changed his mind, since earlier he acted like he wouldn’t help until he agreed to his terms.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t worry. This time, I want to help out of pure intentions.”
“Really?”
“Demons don’t lie.”
“But you could conceal or twist your words.”
“What. Not really. But I guess that’s true too.”
Even if he tried to hide it anyway, it was useless because there were the fairies. The fairies talk about how they shouldn’t, but they blurt everything in the face of their lives.
Alberg knew that too, so he chose to say it first. If he was going to find out anyway, it would be nice for him to be the one to say it.
“It’s not possible! No!”
The fairy cried and cried.
“Please stop! Will the Celestial people help humans?”
“What if I ask for your help?”
“Don’t you have any pride as a demon?”
“Demons bend their pride in front of love.”
That crazy race! The fairy twisted her face and struggled but couldn’t escape Hyeon-woo’s grasp.
“So what?”
“At least change the location! To a secluded place!”
“Yeah, this is a hospital.”
“Alright.”
Alberg opened the window and jumped out. Hyeon-woo also followed suit. Since Ga-jun was away for a while, it seemed like it would be fine to settle things in the meantime.
Alberg and Hyeon-woo made up their minds and ran, so it was only a few moments before they left the city.
“Ueeck!”
The captured fairy vomited, but neither were consider with the welfare of the fairy.
“I’ll go ahead?”
Alberg let go of the demonic energy control he had imprisoned in his tiny body. Demonic energy spread in an instant and killed the surrounding creatures.
“Crazy, that’s crazy!”
It didn’t take long for Demonic energy to spread. About 30 seconds at most. However, in that brief period of time, the fairly large park was completely destroyed.
“It’s over now!”
Alberg took back the demonic energy. He looked around but saw no change other than that the park was ruined.
“Is this enough?”
“Unn.”
“Ugh, I’m done now.”
The fairy slumped and cried. And how long had it been? A streak of light flew across the sky. It was not bright outside. Even so, it was not the light of the moon or the stars.
The sky parted. And from there light shone out. The light slowly descended from the air to the ground, reducing its size. It stopped only when it reached the size of a human.
