This is getting intense...
...
"So, our request is quite simple. We-"
Before I could finished my sentence, Min Joon interrupt me.
"We'd like to have your assistance in sort of matters in the future, that's our request." Said Min Joon while he was looking at me with cynicism.
I looked at Min Joon, completely surrender by his provocation.
"Eung, that's right. Your assistance will be needed for us," I continued his words.
"Oh? That's it?" She asked.
This is easier than I thought, I'm glad it's all-
"But what do I get in return?"
I was surprised by her question, I forgot that she wants an equal offer.
"Is there anything you wished for?" Min Joon answered Phoebe's question really quickly.
"Hm...I can get anything I want so easily. But there's one thing I want but I cannot achieve," she said.
"W-what could it be?" I asked with anxious.
"Once every 1.000 year's, there's a sword with golden swan pattern showed up. I want you to bring that item to me, and don't worry it will showed up in 10 days." she said while showing the time through the star's in the dark sky.
This will be a hard request since even an archangel couldn't done it herself.
[In this world, Archangel were considered as one of the gods. Lower Gods have their own power, but doesn't affect on 'everything'. Meanwhile, the Archangel is an higher authority than gods and possessed a power that affect on 'everything'.]
"We will do it. And then, this conversation can be finished." Min Joon stand up from his chair.
"A feisty one, aren't you little human?" She said.
"And there's another one that I'd like to request," she said.
One is already hard enough, but two requests? This is getting out of my hand.
"I want you to kill my father, Mago." She said while showing the face of the gods that we will kill.
[MAGO is the creator goddess in ancient Korean mythology, central to the practice of mudang. The legend of Mago outlines this piece, which aims to express the interconnectedness of dreams and reality, past and present lives, karma and destiny, microcosm and macrocosm]
Did I hear it wrong? Did she just ordered us to kill a literally a creator of all gods? I know everything that's happening is already crazy, but this is the craziest one!
"Kill Mago? But Mrs Phoebe, you know that Mago is a creator. But why you ordered us to kill him, even though it will be impossible for us?" I asked.
"That's why I choose you, Lee Do Hyun. You have something that any other existence doesn't have," she said.
It's been a really long time since someone called me by my full name, the words that I hated the most.
"This is something that an human couldn't handle, we can't do that," Min Joon interrupt.
"I didn't choose someone randomly, and I know you two were the perfect one." She said while looking at us through her glass of wine.
Wait, come to think about it. She gave us a hard request, but we also offer a hard request.
[What Do Hyun mean is that the goddess of Time and Destiny will interrupt in human world just to assist Do Hyun and Min Joon, and her role as an higher authority will make another gods turned against her]
That request is fair enough for both sides, and it's only a matter of time if she actually assisting us.
"Very well, we accept it," I responded.
Min Joon seems didn't expect me to accept her offer so easily, but still remains silent. Even though his face looking like he's about to went crazy
"Then let's finish this, and started our secret business." She said while standing up from her chair.
She lend out her hands and returned us to the real world. Everything around us started to shaken due to the Phoebe's power leaking while teleporting us back.
Reina's jaw was dropped in disbelief, of course. I opened my eyes slowly, trying to adapting the sunlight. We finished our contract and it's truly an amazing experience.
"I can't believe I will see an Archangel powers with my own eyes!" Reina came closer to check on us, but she definitely have a lot of questions.
"I didn't expect her to be our contract supervisor...maybe we were lucky enough, haha..." I answered awkwardly, dammit I hate this situation.
...
"Is Min Joon-ssi okay? He's already like that ever since you guys finished the contract..." Reina asked.
Right, I have a lot of questions to him too. Now that we were partners, he can't hide everything forever.
...
3 days later, I was fully recovered. 7 Day's left until the sword shows up, and I have to get stronger before that. My recovery was pretty slow, maybe because I summoned a freaking black hole and sleep for 2 weeks.
...
I was looking for Min Joon to ask him about my power and how to get stronger. But on my 3 days of recovery, he never shows his face around. Did he learned his lesson for rolling his eyes towards a gods?
"Do Hyun? Are you looking for Min Joon?" Reina suddenly appeared.
"Ah, eung... Did you know where he is? I never seen his face during my recovery, not even his shadow." I asked while letting out a long sigh.
"He's training his physical body on the training range near the communication center over there, and I hope you can stopped him before he die from dehydration..." She replied.
Geez, this guy is really something else. Well I can't lie, he's a really a hard working guy.
"Thanks, I will consider your request." I said, then started to walk towards the communication center.
Reina waved her small hands, she really know how to keep her emotions. I should take a lesson from her.
As I walked towards the training range, I heard an metal getting Polished in a worst way.
Skreeeechh!
I already knew who it was, so I came closer to his back.
"You shouldn't do that, y'know." I shook his shoulder and interrupt his activity.
He startled a bit, but keep maintaining his poker face. This guy was wishing to get kick on his butt!
[Do Hyun is mad because Min Joon's reaction is not what he expected to be, and annoyed]
"What are you doing this time? You gladly accept Phoebe's request just like that?" He said.
Oh, I guess I know why he's being a total douchebag lately. Is it because he didn't want Phoebe to became our contract supervisor. But why?
"Are you done throwing tantrum? And also, I think more than once about her offer," I replied.
Min Joon keep quiet, and I'm sure what he's thinking just by looking at his face.
...
But, why I feel uneasy to this? I feel like about to explode my brain just to think about this. Why Min Joon hates Phoebe as if he know what kind of a gods she is? But still, I takes her offer and it doesn't mean I trusted her so easily.
