Chapter 225
"Hi!"
"We''re here, Popi!"
Pow wo woooo!
A lively greeting echoed in the quiet office.
Ryan greeted the children with a bright smile. He even took some candy out of his desk and handed it out to the children.
Today, along with Ryan, there was another person in the Inferris office.
Hello, Ms. Ashmir.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
Ashmir, who was waiting for our arrival, continued the conversation with her characteristic expressionless face and firm tone.
"Are you once again on vacation with those kids?"
"Yes, I''m going to take a break and do other things at the same time."
In response to my reply, Ashmir looked at the children for a moment and then turned her eyes towards the person behind me.
Her expressionless face frowned slightly.
"Are you taking that Demon with you?"
"Yes, this is Andras, who helps me with my work in the Demon world."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Andras from the Schnarpe family."
"I''m Ashmir, Surveince officer."
Ashmir politely introduced herself to Andras'' greeting. Of course, apart from her polite behavior, there was a form of disapproval in her eyes looking at Andras.
"Can you tell me why you''re visiting the Human World?"
Ryan, who was handing out the candy, suddenly stepped forward and poured out the exnation he had prepared in advance.
"This time, he came here at the request of Director Lee. It''s on behalf of the Schnarpe family, which is famous for making artifacts. Hes going to meet with variouspany officials and developers along with Sihyeon."
Ryan exined the n as if it was real, but it was all a pre-made lie after talking with Director Lee.
We cant say hes here to find his sister who came to the Human world from the Demon world. So, we had to prepare a foolproof false n in advance.
Fortunately, Ashmir seemed to have no doubts regarding Ryan''s exnation but, she had problems with a different part.
"I understand the purpose of the visit. However, even if it was a request from Lee, he cant enter the Human world unless we grant permission to it."
"You mean, he needs a dimensional pattern, right?"
"Yes."
I nodded at Ashmir''s warning.
It was already an expected response. Unlike thest time when I brought Lia for the Angel mission with the Angels'' permission, this time I brought Andras without asking for permission from the Angels.
But the countermeasure had already been thought out.
Andras. Can you reach out your hand so that I can see the back of your hand?
like this?
Andras slowly held out the back of his hand and I ced my hands on the back of his hand. Then, like the time with Lia, white light poured out from the back of his hand.
After a while, the light faded and when I lifted my hands, on the back of Andras'' hand, there was a familiar pattern, emitting subtle light.
I checked the pattern on the back of his hand and asked Ashmir.
"Is this okay?"
She also looked at the pattern on the back of his hand and frowned once again. Then, she sighed a little and nodded.
Ryan and Andras were surprised with their eyes wide open.
That''s a relief.
I was worried about what to do if it doesn''t work.
The reason why I can make this dimensional pattern'' is still a mystery, but the effect was certainly valid for the Angels.
"So you don''t mind him entering the Human world, right?"
"Yes. There''s nothing wrong with procedures."
I feltpletely relieved when Ashmir agreed. However, due to the following warning, I had no choice but to harden my expression quickly.
"Lim Sihyeon, the ability you use is still very confusing for us. I have no choice but to just watch your actions as a Surveince Officer, but the Judges'' and Executives'' are different.
"."
"There are many Angels who are watching you in a good way and in a bad way. It''s up to Lim Sihyeon how to use that ability. But you better not abuse it too much."
Ashmir left the office after leaving serious advice. Her advice stuck in my head for a while andplicated my mind.
"Phew Fortunately, I think it went well. Thank you, Sihyeon."
"Ugh Yes."
I came to my senses at Ryans call, and when I turned around Andras was still admiring the pattern on the back of his hand.
"That''s amazing, Sihyeon. Isn''t this the power of the Angels? How can you use this ability?"
"I don''t know much about it either. This is my second time using it, and Im d that it went as well as Ryan said."
As I was talking with Ryan and Andras, the children who were quietly watching flocked to me.
Papa. Let''s go to grandma''s house.
I can''t wait to eat ice cream, Popi!
-Pow wo wooo.
The children seemed to have gotten bored waiting quietly while I was dealing with Ashmir. Ryan smiled slightly at the children''s whining.
"It''ste today, so why don''t you go home for now?
First of all, we''ve crossed a big mountain, and I think we can start nning tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Let''s go. I''ll see you off."
Along with Ryan, I headed to the parking lot with the children and Andras. While going down, Ryan briefly exined the ns for the future.
"You can start the full-scale search from tomorrow. As you already know, you should refrain from acting too conspicuous. It''s best to finish the work as quietly as possible."
"Umm But I feel so lost. Where on earth should we start."
The information about Andras sister was really limited. She calcted the coordinates using the artifact I carried, so there was only a vague assumption that she might have been near the radius of recent activity.
But, she has been here for months, she might have gone really far by now.
"Don''t worry too much, Sihyeon. I have got the information needed from Mr. Lee, I''ll sort it out and send it to you by this evening."
"I hope the data is really helpful."
"Andras must have prepared a way. You can trust him because he''s apetent guy. Right? Andras? Andras?"
Ryan and I looked around when we realized that Andras had disappeared. When we found Andras, he had already arrived near the car with the children.
"Oh, so this is a car? I heard it from Lia. The solid iron thing that moves faster than the wagon."
"Un, it moves very fast, Teacher."
"You''ll be surprised when we go outside, Popi! That is a lot of cars like this, Popi!"
Pow wo wooooooooooooooooooo
"Is that so? I''d like to take a look at the internal structure."
Andras waspletely absorbed in the novelty of the Car which he had never seen before. He kept circling around as he looked at the car. It seemed like he hadpletely forgotten about his sister.
The worries that filled my face increased as I looked at mypletely untrustworthy partner. Ryan smiled bitterly and repeatedly kept saying that it was okay.
From the day after arriving in Korea, Andras and I immediately went out and started the search.
The data handed over by Director Lee briefed on the detected abnormal mana waves around the city for the past 2 months.
Moving to another dimension would naturally have caused abnormal mana waves because it uses enormous amounts of magical power, and we predicted that Andras'' sisters traces could be found in one of the locations.
Based on those spections, we wandered around where the data indicated and looked for traces.
I expected it wouldnt be easy, but never thought we wont find a single trace of dimensional movement, despite searching for days.
I was getting nervous because the time was not on our side.
Today was the fourth day of the search.
Today, not only Andras but also the children and my mother came out with us. I took them out with us because the children kept whining about staying inside the house for the past three days.
The ce we came to wasn''t an interesting amusement park or a tourist destination, but still, the children were all very excited as we got to go out together.
Looking at my mother soothing the excited children, I felt sorry.
"I''m sorry, Mom. You must be having a hard time taking care of the children alone because of us, right?"
"I''m sorry, Mrs. Saya."
Andras bowed his head with a regretful expression.
"It''s okay. You two have something important to do, right? Don''t mind me and the kids, just think about finishing the important thing first."
My mother took the kids to y in a nearby park so that we could start searching without any disturbance.
Andras, Lets start.
All right.
We went to the ce where abnormal mana waves were detected before. After wandering for a long time, we were able to find the ce marked on the map.
"I think it''s here."
The ce we arrived at was a dark ce behind a slightly older building, where there was little sunlight between buildings.
Andras, who had been looking around for a while, murmured quietly.
I''ve found it.
What?
I think my sister had arrived here.
Really?
I shouted joyfully at the news that we''d finally found a trace. But Andras didn''t look so happy.
"I seeded in finding traces, but it''s been too long. I can only confirm that she was here, and I don''t think we''ll find any clues about her current location, here."
"What?"
"I wish my sister was around here, but given the time frame and the fact that I don''t see any other signs, it''s possible that she''s gone far."
Andras took something out of his arms.
"What''s that, Andras?"
"It''s a modified version of the artifact that my sister used. It has the ability to find artifacts with simr wavelengths nearby. If my sister uses the artifact she had brought here, we can trace it with this."
"Oh."
"But its range is not that wide, and if my sister doesn''t use the artifact, it''s impossible to trace her."
Looking at the expression of Andras turning dark, I purposely raised my voice and said.
"We''ll try something out, Andras. Dont worry, well find her."
Andras nodded with a faint smile and soon we started exploring the surrounding area using the artifact that Andras took out.
