PAID Chapter 205
It had been about ten days since I returned to Earth.
On the very day I called my parents, my sister and I went back to our family home. The reaction from my parents upon seeing me again was, well, beyond words.
As expected, they were adamantly unwilling to believe my story about not being able to return for seven years due to certain circumstances. It wasn’t until my sister stepped in to back me up that they started to come around.
Even then, they didn’t fully believe it—they just seemed somewhat convinced, largely because my sister, an A-rank hunter of the Eternal Guild, suggested that there were reasons she couldn’t explain. They even seemed to settle on the idea that I was some sort of secret agent, like in a movie, which, to be fair, wasn’t entirely off the mark.
“I’ll make sure to pay you back for this later,” my sister had grumbled, clenching her teeth after getting scolded by our parents for not telling them sooner.
That was one of the many events that unfolded.
“Nika, about the summon…”
“No comment.”
Since the S-rank gate raid, interest in me had only grown, but Nika was adamant about cutting off all inquiries. Although this only fueled people’s curiosity, Nika didn’t seem to care.
However, this led to unintended consequences elsewhere.
“It’s driving me crazy. Nika’s summon or not, why are they asking me about it?”
“I share your frustration. Even when I say I don’t know, it’s no use.”
“I can’t go outside either. I stepped out for a moment at 3 AM, and there were three cameras on me. Can you believe that?”
The other women around me, including Nika, were being relentlessly questioned about me as well.
“Is it because you’re all guild masters?”
“You know, that’s a good point. Since we’re all guild masters, why don’t we say he’s communal property? We can claim that while Nika summoned him, the price was too high for her to handle alone, so we all share the burden. It’s technically true.”
“Wait a minute. That word choice is a bit off.”
Nika timidly objected, but she couldn’t stand against the united force of the seven guild masters. That very day, I went out with Leona, attracting an overwhelming amount of attention.
Given the circumstances, it was only natural that the attention intensified, especially since another guild master, not Nika, was the one taking me out.
“The more powerful the summon, the greater the cost required,” Leona explained, declaring that the price and rights to use me had been equally distributed among the seven guild masters because the burden was too much for Nika alone.
