“Your complexion wasn’t very good last time and now, look at you; you’ve lost weight. Are you sure you’re not pushing yourself too hard?”
Gilbert looked Genos up and down then he clicked his tongue twice in pity.
He looked just like…
Like a grandma or grandpa who was seeing their grandson after a long time.
Genos agreed with him and spoke as if he was exaggerating his pain.
“You’re right, honestly, my friend makes me work too much. He said there’s no other talented person but me so I’m doing it all for now.”
“Oh no! Even if there’s no one else who can handle it, they shouldn’t make someone work till their face is this thin, right?”
Even though they were only meeting up after a long time, the two of them got along very well.
Gilbert showed his worry by telling Genos that even if it was a close friend, he had to be very clear with them about things like this. He even added that the closer the friendship was, the easier it was to wheedle out of money issues, but he should never allow that, and he also advised him to make sure he got paid for over time.
It seemed that Gilbert was worried that the forever unemployed and innocent(?) Snow would go into a business with his friend and foolishly take a loss.
As before, they looked like warm-hearted and friendly neighbors.
“Ai, come, come, have a seat. You look like you can hardly stand, you’re almost as thin as a paper doll.”
“A paper doll? It’s not that bad…By the way, there’s almost no empty seat today.”
Gilbert led Genos to the remaining seat in the inner corner of the store. Genos looked around for a bit, like he was looking for someone.
However, Yuri had already entered the kitchen earlier, so he wasn’t able to see the person he wanted to.
Even when Genos ordered, it was Gilbert that took it.
Then after a while, Yuri approached Genos with a tray carrying a lemonade and some sandwiches.
Genos was already watching her by the time she came out of the kitchen so as she walked over, their eyes met.
Of course, Genos’ eyes were hidden behind his bushy bangs, so it wasn’t visible. However, Yuri instinctively felt that her eyes had met his.
“Hi, Ms. Yuri. It’s been while.”
“Yes, it has.”
Once she reached the table, they exchanged brief greetings with each other.
“So those heretics…”
While Yuri was putting the things on the tray in front of Genos, she heard heretics, the hot topic of the day being discussed by the side. Perhaps Genos also heard it because his body flinched for a moment.
“It must be noisy because of what happened yesterday.”
“Yes.”
“I heard the scale of damage was quite large this time too…”
As he said that, Genos’ voice was a little gloomy unlike how he usually spoke when ‘Snow’ came to the coffeehouse.
Yuri glanced down at Genos who was covered with a layer of gloom.
If Genos’ recent job was helping Kalian then it was very likely that his work was related to the explosions. As it was now, it looked like the previous incident at the shopping district and the incident yesterday were related to each other…
So maybe he was blaming himself for not being able to prevent another explosion.
In the novel she read, the character known as ‘Genos Sheldon’ was such a person. Besides, even though Yuri acted like this, Genos Sheldon was her favorite character in the book, wasn’t he?
So it was safe to say that she knew his personality quite well. On top of that, when she took a closer look, his jawline was certainly sharper than before…
Like Gilbert said, he did look little thinner than before and his complexion wasn’t very good.
‘If I knew something, I’d give him a little hint but…’
Unfortunately, Yuri didn’t know anything about this incident. This was because these kind of explosions had never happened in the novel.
“Well, no one expected this to happen after all.”
Still, Yuri spoke in a passing manner like there was no reason for Genos to be depressed.
She seemed to be saying that even if Genos had the ability of foresight, such an incident was difficult to prevent but it looked like her words didn’t reach him properly.
However, if she said anything more, it would seem unnatural or like she was being nosy…
So while Yuri’s brows furrowed slightly, she picked up the empty tray and stepped away for a moment.
Of course, when she saw Genos in reality, she felt like she had woken up a bit, but he was still her favorite character, so an inner sense of friendliness had already formed for him.
And so when she saw him sitting there seriously instead of smiling flippantly like usual, she was a little bothered by it.
Who knows whether she should be thankful or not, but Genos didn’t seem to notice anything strange about her behavior instead, he changed his expression and opened his mouth again.
“That said, I’m glad Ferret Street wasn’t harmed directly.”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, Mr. Gilbert has been worrying a lot about that.”
Yuri felt bad to see him trying to smile so she replied to him instead of ignoring his words like usual.
“Um, Ms. Yuri. Actually, there’s something I really want to tell you today.”
Yuri felt puzzled when she heard that. Now that she was paying attention, she noticed that Genos was playing with his hands on the table like he was a little nervous.
“I hope you’ll be careful for a while.”
And when she heard him say those words in a serious manner, Yuri felt a sense of déjà vu.
‘I thought Kalian was like Dominic’s avatar, but now it’s Genos that’s like Kalian’s avatar.’
What he said was similar to what Kalian told her yesterday. But when Yuri frowned a little, Genos seemed to realized he might have said too much out of the blue, so he quickly spoke again.
“I know you might think I’m saying nonsense but…”
“Yes, you know it sounds strange but it’s difficult to explain the circumstances, right?”
“Uh…”
“But it’s almost certain that something serious will happen to me so you can’t just act like you know nothing.”
“Hk, how…”
Genos was bewildered when Yuri repeated exactly what Kalian said to her yesterday. For a moment, he seemed to wonder if Yuri had the power of foresight too.
Seeing Genos acting like this, Yuri felt uncomfortable. There was the reaction Genos had when he came to the coffeehouse last time and there was also Kalian’s words to consider…
‘…Did I trigger a new death flag without even knowing it or something?’
At this point, it was kind of difficult to just ignore what they were saying.
While Yuri was feeling deeply suspicious, Genos asked her a question while stuttering a little.
“By any chance…has someone else told you something similar, Ms. Yuri?”
“Yes, some high ranking noble said that.”
Genos quickly realized that Kalian was the person Yuri was talking about.
‘That punk, after telling me off so coldly.’
That said, he felt more relaxed than before. As expected, even though Kalian spoke icily to him, he wasn’t the type to sit back idly when someone he knew was going to be in trouble.
Genos looked at Yuri who was wearing a strange expression and added in a firm voice.
“Ms. Yuri. When the praying ceremony is held sometime soon, don’t go out.” [1]
* * *
After getting off work, Yuri headed to the monastery where Leo and Siren stayed.
In her mind, the words Genos said to her earlier were playing over and over.
‘I don’t know when this praying ceremony is but either ways, he’s saying I should expect the dangerous flag there, right?’
Even so, Genos’ warning was more detailed than Kalian’s. Of course, it looked like even Genos didn’t know the specifics behind what would happen to Yuri but having a rough estimate of the timing was beneficial in its own way.
While mulling over Genos’ words, Yuri arrived at the hideout.
“Is this more elegant? Or maybe this angle is a little better…”
Once Yuri arrived at the entrance to the monastery, the first thing that came into her sight was Siren.
For some reason, Siren had climbed onto a broken pillar and she was moving this way and that.
Yuri tilted her head as she watched Siren who looked focused on what she was doing and didn’t even notice that Yuri was here.
“I think it’ll be better if they can see my wings more…”
Flutter!
Siren was immersed in her thoughts and as she mumbled something to herself, she stretched her wings a little further back. With that, her captivating wings were exposed more clearly than before.
From where Yuri stood, she could see Siren’s profile and her posture looked a lot like a statue she had seen in a photograph from her past life.
‘Is she Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ or what.’
“Siren, what are you doing?”
“Ack, that surprised me!”
When Yuri spoke up, Siren jumped in surprise and her body shook.
“Arachne!”
But soon enough, Siren saw Yuri and looked delighted.
Yuri stared at Siren who was flying with her wings spread out.
“You’re playing by yourself?”
“Ah, t-this is…my wounds are all better now, so I was just exercising my wings!”
It didn’t look like she was stretching her wings but seeing Siren try to make excuses with a red face, Yuri simply acted like she believed what Siren said.
“What of Leo?”
“The watchdog isn’t here right now. He should be back soon, I think?”
It seemed Leo went wandering outside again.
Yuri looked at the feathers flying above her and remembered how Siren spread out her wings earlier, like there was someone she wanted to show off her wings to.
“Do you want me to get you another hair growth solution?”
“What? Wha, What do you mean?”
Yuri brought it up since Siren seemed to care a lot about her feathers but hearing that, Siren looked shocked.
“Do my wings look bad?!”
“No, I was wondering if you needed anything else while staying here so I just asked. Like you said, your wings really do look all better.”
But when Yuri added those words, Siren’s expression quickly relaxed. [2]
Translator’s Corner:
[1] Praying ceremony: It seems to be something like a mass prayer to chase away evil and call for good fortune. If I find a better meaning or definition, I’ll change the translated term.
[2] Lol, it says her expression stretched.

thank you for the chapter! but so ominous i’m dying to know how things are gonna fall together for yuri to almost d*e
Thanks for the chapter Señorita Ruby ❤️
The prayer ceremony sounds like what they will do to get rid/kill heritics or mutants, a very traditional way to say a mob of people to hunt you down, through i imagine it will be different
Thank you for the chapter.
Genos saw Yuri in a pool of blood, right?
It didn’t say that she had injuries (I think), so I wonder if it might not be her blood, but her enemies` blood.
Thanks for the chapter!
thank you for translating ♡♡♡

If I remember things right, wasn’t the thing Genos saw was Yuri lying in a pool of blood? I wonder what was the indication that it HAD to be on that specific day?
also, someone correct me too but what is Lakis’s ruin power again? Isn’t it related to blood?
Honestly, this might just be what’s left of my optimism on the coming death flag (that and Yuri faking it. I mean, she’s literally the 3rd strongest being here at this point)
You’re right Lakis’ power is related with mind and blood manipulation. But I don’t think he can help “resurrect” Yuri if ever she really died in that foresight? whoknows
I think Lakis can only control his own blood and not someone’s blood so far
I think Genos wasn’t sure if the blood pool was from Yuri or someone else’s.
Also, I’m raising a death flag for Siren and Leo because most likely they’ll get in trouble and that will get Yuri involved.
I’m sorry but who are the two people stronger than her? Because I remember her holding her own in the chase against Lakis, and the only reason she didn’t fight back is cuz she wanted to leave and not engage in an actual fight. And also with Kalian she was trying to carry and protect an injured, adult woman with massive wings so of course she’d be at a disadvantage. She kicked Damon’s ass.
We’re you referring to Dominic? I think Yuri’s more powerful than we know, I just wish she had another spider related power like spider venom or eight eyes of night vision but alas. I agree with your Lakis relation thing tho. I hope she doesn’t get hurt cuz imma lose it.
If I remember correctly, the time Yuri and Lakis fought in the roof, Lakis was still injured and wasn’t in his best condition. Also, he didn’t use any of his powers on yuri and just fought with bare hands. So I assume if the both of them go all out to fight, lakis will win. And about the second strongest, I think she is referring to the guy (I forget his name) who injured lakis and take his place in Carnot. As far as we know he isn’t someone to take lightly.
OMG I have a feeling that this death flag is related to Lakis… Because he will soon go back to get back his power and Yuri will be alone and maybe she will have to go to save him or meet him in this praying ceremony day… I’m nervous 😫😫😫 Thank you as usual for your hard and great work Miss Ruby 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for the updates Miss Ruby! I’ve been reading your translations since quarantine period and I say your style of translations has been my standard for reading other stories XD I love it!
Thank you for your hard work! We appreciate it so much! <3
And if I may ask, does YGTWHV translations will end precisely at chapter 180??
It ends at 181
I honestly don’t even know how I’m gonna cope when this wonderful novel ends. And at only 181? I’ve read Chinese stuff that goes into the thousands (which is maybe too much tbh)
Miss Ruby, will you translate the side stories too?
The 181 includes the side stories. The main ends a little earlier
Thank you, Ruby. Glad you are feeling better!
Thanks for the chapter! ❤️
Hi ~ Miss Ruby! Thanks for the translate! I love it
If you haven’t chosen a novel for the next translation yet… Am…
How do you like the novel “It’s No Use Hanging On”? It seems that no one has undertaken translation yet.
Thank you for your translation Ruby!!
When I saw thw note about stretched the only other alternative I could think of was loosened
Oh man, no other novel keeps me so motivated to read each chapter right away. Even after so long.
Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the translations! Just blasted through all of the available chapters over the past couple of days.
I’m so curious what will happen next… I wonder if Lakis will admit what he’s done to Odin. And I’m really suspicious that Grandfather is going to offer to adopt Yuri, or Yuri and Anne-Marie. It’s really weird how she looks like Selena, especially considering her appearance was transformed by the ruin fragments. So many questions…
Looking forward to the next update 🙂
