Chapter 74: You can read mind? (1/2)

When I open the door, I walk into another white room. I see four figures standing in the middle of the room. A kid around ten years old smiles at me. He has dragon eyes and a foxy smile. A monk is standing right next to him with a peaceful expression. His eyes are closed.

The third person is a tall and muscular guy with short-cropped blonder hair. He has icy blue eyes and olive skin. He is holding a wooden staff with inscribed runes. A magician.

”Hello, my name is Christian.” He introduces himself first.

I give him a polite nod. ”Fang Aisa.”

The monk doesn't introduce himself or say any word. He just smiles and nods back at me. The fourth person is a tall woman. She has red hair and yellow-green eyes upturned eyes. No eyebrows. Thin pale lips. She glances at me once, then she looks away in distaste. A fae.

Okay, dislike at first sight.

”Pretty Noona, I didn't introduce myself.” The little kid comes forward. ”My name is Choi Minho. I am not a magic-user or spiritual energy manipulator. I am an esper.”

I blink at him with surprise. ”Esper?”

”Haven't you seen those movies about people with psychic abilities?” He takes my hand. ”Noona is pretty. So, I will explain. There are magic users, demons, priests and the fae. Then, how can humans stay behind? Nature has a funny way of doing things. So, there we are. The espers. We are the ones with psychic ability. We can't do magic, but we have one or two special talents like being able to read the mind or move things at will.”

I feel like I am hearing an esper advertisement.

Then, he looks at the monk. ”He asked me to tell you that you are not pregnant.”

”WHAT!” I yell at the monk. ”I am not?”

The monk nods again with a peaceful smile.

”Noona, the limbo demon is a liar. It comes up best lie to make you stay there instead of moving on to the next level.” The kid looks at me with sympathy. ”He told me that my brother was waiting for me in that city. He always exploits a person's weakness.”

I feel slightly disappointed. It's a lie if I say that I didn't feel happy about not being pregnant. This is not a good time to be pregnant.

”Don't be disheartened.” The kid eyes the monk. ”He asked me to tell you.”

”You can read the mind?” I ask the kid. I find him interesting. Before meeting him, I didn't know that there are people like him in the world. Among all the people here, the kid seems honest and least dangerous.

”I can read the mind and see the other world.” He gives me a knowing smile. ”And a bunch of other things.”

I wonder what those other things mean.

”You are amazing!” I ruffle his hair. ”And cute.”

He blushes under my gaze. ”Noona, if we leave this place, will you leave your husband and marry me when I grow up?”

I can't help but laugh.  This is the cutest proposal. ”You are an interesting kid, Choi Minho.”
