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.@@novelbin@@

“Is it because you’re all guild masters?”
