Ilya doesn't know how he ended up in the cafe with the second disaster candidate, but he certainly doesn't like his current situation.
"I think you work in a dungeon every day, how come you're here?"
Ilya asked briefly as she looked at the red-haired ombre in front of her, she deliberately did not say plainly about the work of the second disaster candidate who was a hunter-killer because they were in a crowded place.
In addition to vibes, her appearance was different from the figure Ilya saw back then, she looked more normal and not crazy so it made Ilya think maybe this woman has two personalities in her body.
"I also need entertainment. Going and taking people's lives is pretty shitty,"
Ilya was surprised because he said it lightly, what if anyone hears? They could get in trouble!
"Can't you just filter your words? We're outside right now!"
She smiled sweetly as she saw Ilya nagging her.
"You're still suspicious"
Then Ilya silenced the woman who was now laughing.
'Noe! Oi! Noe!'
Noe's voice was not heard. He again disappeared at a time like this, whereas Ilya wanted to know how much longer it would take for this second would-be disaster to experience a burst of strength but the entity that could figure it out disappeared instead.
'Where is he currently like this?'
Ilya thought Noe might be sleeping, but did the system need some sleep? While Ilya was dizzy thinking about where Noe was, the woman kept looking at his face since last— making Ilya feel uncomfortable.
"What?"
Ilya said ketus. He must be vigilant, however, the figure in front of him is a disaster candidate that he does not recognize let alone he has a dangerous job.
The woman smiled again. Shit, seeing that smile made Ilya goosebumps.
"It's no fun if I'm the only one who eats when we date"
He ate his food with pleasure.
"We're not dating yet"
Ilya replied indifferently. His eyes stared at the piece of tart on the plate that the woman had ordered for him, untouched or eaten.
"But we ate both"
The woman replied with a plain look. Ilya let out a breath of air, he had to explain the current situation for him to understand.
"It can happen even to someone out there"
Ilya scooped half the tart on the plate and ate it, while the woman spoke disappointedly.
"eeh? I think we're on a date right now"
Ilya gave a brief snort at the woman's words.
"What's your definition of dating?" Said asked.
"Two people eating together?" Reply spontaneously. Very sure of that answer.
"Then everyone can do it"
Ilya smiled mockingly at the reply of the lady.
"Sad. So, what's the date?" The woman was upset.
"That's what couples who love each other do"
"Say we're doing it"
"We don't love each other"
"But I love you"
Ilya was silent as soon as she heard his words. For a moment Ilya felt baper with the remark, but he had to realize himself that at this time the woman in front of him was not really serious about saying that he loved her.
"That's not love but a momentary feeling when you're curious about something. Besides, I don't even know your name where we can love each other"
He ended his speech. Ilya's hazel eyes looked at the girl's garnet, she was sure that her eyes were wearing softlens because when they met her they were black.
"Yes name? Do you want to know which name I am? I have many names!"
She replied with a cheerful face while Ilya looked at her with a look of disbelief.
"I only need one name" Ilya replied curtly indifferently.
'there's no way I'm calling him 'hey' or 'you' continuously.'
It somewhat sounded pitiful as he spoke of having so many names.
"Hyun Lee! Yes, you can call me by that name!"
The woman, Lee Hyun answered enthusiastically. Ilya finally knew the name of the second disaster candidate.
He immediately finished the cake on his plate without caring for Hyun's happy gaze
'He called my favorite name!'
Lee Hyun was not his real name. As a hit man, a name is an unimportant thing that must be replaced when he was in charge of—Hyun has a real name, but he never said it to anyone.
For now he was happy because Ilya would call him by his favorite name.
"May I also call your name?"
He asked a bit doubtful but very hopeful.
"Of course?"
"Came"
"Hm"
"Liya! I want to call you that"
'He likes it as much'
Ilya's real name sounds like a call to women now.
"I refuse."
Ilya rejected it firmly. He did not want to be called by the name of Liya, let alone by this woman in front of him.
"Eey!? Why?"
Hyun said disappointed, but he thought it was a cute name and suitable for Ilya.
"That name sounds like a call to women"
He says the reason, Hyun understands but he is still disappointed with Ilya's decision.
"I want to have a nickname for you"
"Call me Ilya, if Sigma is my surname"
Hyun nodded.
"Alright, Ilya. Hehe"
Though Ilya thought he would be stubborn and Keukeh wanted to call him that, but apparently he was quite easy to change his mind.
Isn't it like this he just looks like an elementary school kid who just made friends? It looked innocent and innocent, but Ilya could not take it that way because after all Hyun was still someone suspicious.
He could also be on the side of the bad guys.
"I'm done! Let's play again!"
He immediately stood up then drew closer to Ilya's bench.
"Hey! I don't want to!"
His hand pulled Ilya out, he hugged the man's arm tightly.
"Ilya don't be shy. Next we go to the shopping mall!"
Ilya was immediately dragged away by Hyun without consent. Wanting to fight but he paled because seeing Hyun's happy face that looks real made him not feel good, perhaps Hyun was just a childish soul and he had his own reasons for his unusual work.
All that afternoon Ilya just accompanied Hyun to do all the things he wanted, occasionally Hyun invited Ilya to tag along with him as well—like a ball bath, like, of course there is only Hyun the adult.
Ilya to pat his own eel because surprised by the behavior of the master, wanted to feel like he pretended not to know at that time because of the shame of receiving the gaze of the mothers who were there.
Throughout the day Ilya tried to contact Noe, but he still did not get any answers. Noe seemed lost from there, and this was the longest time for the system to disappear.
"Fuckin' mental load, I can't contact Ilya right now"
Noe squeezed his own chest from feeling the pain there. Right now he was in the subconscious of Ilya, his 'territory' which he had occupied since moving from there world.
The dimensional guard asked him to help Ilya. As a help of information and strength for the man so that he can do his duty well, but it seems that at this time Noe is having difficulty with the burden he bears.
For five thousand years Ilya was confined in a dungeon he had severe mental fatigue, he was almost crazy if only his brain did not think about his sister and mother—but that was not enough, he said, in that very long time something else was created in his subconscious.
The negative power that comes from his mental burden is so much that it can cause damage to Ilua, but Ilya did not experience that when he returned to earth.
It was all because Noe was the one who replaced him to receive all the negative power he had gained from the dungeon. He is not a system, Noe is another soul that dimensional guards instilled in Ilya as a form of punishment for Noe himself.
Now you know it. The reason why sometimes Noe disappeared was not because he was having errors, but that was because he was trying to suppress the negative forces so as not to pollute himself and Ilya.
Noe plays the role of a shield, she is there to protect Ilya from bad situations.
"Ughh! He's dangerous, second disaster candidate, he hides a knife behind his sweet smile!"
The mask that Hyun owned was known to Noe, but unfortunately he could not tell that to Ilya at the moment because he was having a hard time as well.
'Damn it!'
