Against All Odds || Ryeji FF

Chapter 9

After Yeji had locked the wandering girl in a house, she suddenly remembered her having companions earlier. "Oh no." She worryingly said, her feline-like eyes opening wide in the realization.

She then annoyingly clicked her tongue as her mission got added up by saving the roaming teenagers. "I knew I should've brought them home earlier instead of just making their memories disappear." She muttered in disappointment.

The cat-eyed angel can no longer afford seeing people die. Knowing that the demon had stopped for a while because of her earlier, she thought that she should search for the other teenagers first and bring them to the house where she brought the short-haired girl earlier.

While sauntering around, she had finally seen one of them. If not for the boy's bright yellow hair, she wouldn't hesitate to bring out her sword.

She quickly went to where the boy was, who was apparently busy looking at one spot where police tapes could be seen.

The moment she reached out to tap the boy's shoulder, he quickly noticed and turned back, making the two of them startled.

"Ahh! What the hell!" The boy said as he backed off, accidentally tripping on one of the police tapes making him fall on his bottom.

Yeji on the other hand was just shocked as she withdrew her hand. "Why are you outside?" She then asked.

The yellow-haired boy looked around and saw no signs of his friends. "Help! Help! Ah, no! It's not my charm that's activated!" He said as he covered his ears, panic was visible in his whole body.

He suddenly remembered the angel who's also patrolling in search for the ruthless demon which made him in this state.

The high-rank angel just sighed and facepalmed. "I have no time for your jokes, kid." She said as she walked closer to the boy and held him by the wrist.

"Don't worry. I'm not a bad person. I'll just bring you somewhere safe." She reassured the trembling boy. With that they are now walking towards the house where she brought the short-haired girl.

Yeonjun was hoping so dearly that none of his friends would see him being dragged by an angel to who knows where, muttering and mumbling words of regret.

His head was faced down on the asphalt road, making him only see his feet as well as the other's.

When they finally stopped, the cat-eyed angel had casted her spell to open the portal she made earlier. "Here. Wait fo– oh no. Oh God." Her tone suddenly changed as she saw no one inside the building.

"Uhh..." The yellow-haired boy was about to say something when he was pulled inside the building. "Can you promise me to stay here?" The angel-in-disguise then begged, transforming her intimidating eyes to a doe one.

The boy gulped and unconsciously nodded to the angel's request. "I'll search for your friends and bring them here safely. Just don't go." She once again said before leaving the boy alone.

As the cat-eyed angel was already out of his sight, he quickly snapped out of trance. "I'm doomed." He sighed, running both of his hands along his hair.

Yeji, who's already running from corners-to-corners, felt a little bit irritated because one of the girls she brought there was nowhere to be found.

She was on the verge of giving up when finally, she saw two of the teenagers walking discreetly by the sidewalk.

Not wanting to get exhausted, she clasped her hands and whispered words. In no time, the two teenagers she was eyeing on collapsed.

"What's with this group of friends loitering around wearing black garments!?" She questioned as she walked towards the two teenagers.
