Lakis was in a bad mood today as well. He leaned against the chair with his jaw on his hand while a violent aura swirled around him. Currently, he was in a place Odin prepared for him after stating that he couldnβt serve Lakis in such a shabby place; until recently, it was some rich guyβs villa.
Receiving Lakisβ chill straight-on, Odinβs shoulders shrunk, and he carefully asked.
βUm, should I give my report?β
βTalk.β
βYessir!β
Hearing the answer that was just as cold as his aura, Odin quickly opened his mouth.
βThe crows brought news today and it seems the fake bastard has currently captured two mutants.β
He began to report to Lakis what he had been working hard on investigating. Lately, what Odin had been looking into under Lakisβ orders was about the fake Lakis…in other words, Milliam.
Like he thought, the bastard seemed to be able to use the ruinβs power to steal other mutantβs powers. So it looked like he was secretly looking for mutants and gathering them.
βBut the two of them donβt seem to have much of an ability so thereβs nothing to worry about!β
However, because they hadnβt found any mutants with a useful ability yet, they seemed to be searching in other regions too, not just Carnot alone.
βIn the first place, isnβt it just bastards like that foolish watchdog or that gum-like bird prick that get caught by such fake tricks?β
Then Odin made a veiled reference to Leo and Siren who got caught by the slave traders a while ago. Somehow, his swearing seemed spiteful, so Lakis slightly raised a brow.
Not noticing this, Odin puffed out his chest like a bird spreading its wings, then he proudly added.
βAs Lakis-nimβs right hand man, capable mutants like myself or our Arachne arenβt caught that easily, so from the start, that foolish fake bastardβs method was wrong…β
And one of the words Odin used rubbed Lakis the wrong way.
βWhat, βour Arachneβ?β
A grim voice came from Lakis whose mouth had been shut all along.
βGasp, did I say that? This damned mouth!β
Odin was startled and smacked his mouth as the cold gaze in front landed directly on him.
βPlease forgive me, Lakis-nim! Sometimes, my mouth talks rubbish on its own! I really have no one but you, Lakis-nim…! You know how I feel, right? This Odinβs loyalty…!β
Odin seemed to think that the reason Lakisβ mood turned fierce was because he doubted his loyalty. Lakis was annoyed by Odin acting like this.
βWhat do I care about your blasted loyalty.β
βWhat?! How can you not know, are you stupid?β[1]
β…What did you just say?β
βGasp! My mouth againβ!β
Smack, Smack!
The sound of him hitting his mouth harder than before echoed in Lakisβ ears. Lakisβ face crumpled as he looked down at Odin.
He was definitely subservient to Lakis but just like now, he would unconsciously swear at Lakis or stealthily blabber about Arachne in a special manner. It seemed Lakisβ power only achieved an incomplete domination of Odin because Odin was a mutant.
Lakis faced Odin who was still smacking his mouth and spoke in a cold voice.
βStop barking and finish your report.β
βThank you for forgiving me, Lakis-nim.β
Odin cried as if he was moved by Lakisβ mercy. Of course, this wasnβt mercy or anything; Lakis was simply too annoyed to deal with Odin.
βSo it seems that arrogant fake bastard is trying his hardest to find other mutants.β
Either way, Odin went on to finish his report like Lakis ordered.
βIt looks like there are people involved in the east too, so I need to investigate a little more to find out who is in the upper chain.β
βThen go and investigate right now.β
After giving Odin that order, Lakis got up from his seat. As he watched Lakis stand, Odin asked.
βIs what we planned to carry out yesterday going to be done today?β
βIβll decide when the next time is, so watch it and donβt cross the line.β
βYessir! I wonβt.β
Odin quickly shriveled at Lakisβ chilly words. Like that, Lakis left the villa.
βI think I need to go see her now.β
His mind was filled with thoughts of Yuri. This was why he was in a bad mood the entire time he was facing Odin. He was even more worried because she looked like she was avoiding him.
βShe said she was going to the shopping district.β
And so, Lakis sped up to go meet the person that had been lingering in his mind for a good while now.
* * *
After Lakis left, Odin turned into a crow and also left. He set out to faithfully accomplish the orders of his master, Lakis.
β…β
As he flew across the sky, Odin suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him. He dived in the direction the gaze came from.
Chirp-Chirp!
A moment later, Odinβs large wings struck a passing sparrow. At the sudden sneak attack, the bird stumbled and cried out. However, this was certainly not an ordinary sparrow but a sparrow that was being controlled by someone just now.
βThat gum-like wench dares to spy on me?β[2]
Odin immediately realized who was controlling the bird and ground his teeth. A ferocious flame surged in his pink eyes. Soon enough, Odin changed directions and took to the skies.
~
And after a while, he arrived at the monastery that was Leoβs hideout.
βOi, Siren!β
Seeing Odin suddenly storm into the hideout, Sirenβs beautiful face twisted into a mess.
βWhat is it all of sudden, you bird twat! You surprised me!β
βHow shameless! Do you think I donβt know you ordered a bird to secretly follow me?β
βAh, someoneβs doing something big, I donβt see why I canβt take a look!β [3]
βThis crazy bitch?β
Boom-boom-boom!
The very next moment, a thunderous noise rang out in the monastery.
βYou! Do you have death wish?β(Siren)
As she was attacked by Odin, Siren yelled irritatedly and flew out of the dust filled pit.
βYouβre one who has a death wish! You wonβt even stay away from Arachne, you f*cking leech!β (Odin)
Odin attacked Siren again.
Bang!
Siren also attacked Odin back, not losing out.
βHow ridiculous! Youβre the one who left Arachne saying you were busy with other things, you bird head.β
βIndeed! I am doing great work for the great one!β
βSeriously, what the hell are you saying, you lunatic?β
Although she found Odin by chance and spied on him for a bit, she didnβt see when he was with Lakis before, so she was puzzled by what Odin said.
Boom-boom!
Siren had yet to fully recover from the wounds she sustained during her capture by the slave traders. However, because her opponent was Odin who was like her natural enemy, she was fueled with spite and the two of them were almost evenly matched in strength.
They soared through the air and moved around the monastery as they clashed.
Bang!
And then, the statue in the prayer room was destroyed, revealing the object underneath. It was the ruinβs fragment that Yuri was keeping.
βA, A ruinβs fragment? Why is this here?β
βWhat? A ruinβs fragment?β
Instantly, Odinβs eyes sparkled.
Fortunately, the glass container did not break because Yuri had used her threads to protect it beforehand.
Odin hurriedly flew forward and reached out to touch it.
βHey, wait!β
Siren quickly tried to stop Odin, but it was already too late. At that moment, a trap was activated.
βUwaa…!β
The threads covering the ruinβs fragment suddenly spread out like a spider web and covered Odin and Siren before they could avoid it. It bound them up and lifted them to the ceiling in the blink of an eye. If this was any other time, they would have put up a defense at least.
But because they were fighting like enemies who were meeting for the first time in a while, their emotions were heightened and they were caught off guard by the sudden situation.
The more they struggled, the stronger the power binding them became. Because they were very familiar with Arachneβs power since their days at the institute, Odin and Siren eventually stopped moving.
βUgh, dammit.β
βArachne…!β
They couldnβt move an inch in their binding to the ceiling and cried out bitterly for Arachne. Of course, their voices didnβt reach Yuri who was quite far away.
* * *
After a while, Yuri entered a building that was massive enough to fit a handful of shops in a row. It was a new high-rise building that was completed almost half a year ago. It had a display of various items like a department store and you could see everything on sale at once.
Yuri walked inside and looked around. If a gift was too expensive, it would feel burdensome for the recipient, but as expected, it was difficult to find something good at a modest price.
βThen how do we solve the opening issue?β
βSort that out yourself. Iβm already busy with managing the alchemist tower, why should I concern myself with this too?β
Then suddenly, Yuri heard a familiar voice from the side and unconsciously turned her head. And as she expected, a familiar face came into her sight.
It was Damon Salvatore.
Translatorβs Corner:
[1] [Xμ μ΄μΈμ] is what I translated to [are you stupid] but as you can see, itβs censored so I honestly donβt know what he said. From context, I can only assume itβs either [λ±μ ] or [λ³μ ] both of which are insults that mean [stupid] or [retarded] respectively.
[2] Iβve come so far translating this as gum-like but Iβm starting to think glue-like is more apt.
[3]Β Iβm not too sure what she means by this sentence so I translated it literally.

Thank you for updating!!!
Probably meant gum as in her pink skin poking out from the feathers like a plucked chicken. Or i’m just overestimating how good Odin is a insults XD
I thought it was because she was so sticky to Yuri
Happy weekend! Thanks for the updates~
Thank you for the update Miss Ruby ππ
Thanks for the update
Thank you ruby for translating
And Lakis will see how Damon Salvatore pestering Yuriπ
I think gum like is a better insult that glue like. Gum like implies a nasty wad picked up by accident and stuck to the shoe. Glue like is just her sticking herself to Yuri.
Being partially brainwashed really seems to fits Oden. Loyal but with a bad mouth and temperament. Feels like an important thing for later. Brainwashing doesn’t stick as well to mutants. I wonder if Ann Marie is going to remember him as her savior later after something joggs her memory.
I think brainwashing and memory erasing is different. Though we still haven’t gotten much information about that ability other than from when Lakis used it, I hope it will work perfectly. Still, it’s interesting how Lakis’ ability didn’t affect Yuri but affect the story’s protagonists.
Will Lakis and Damon finally have a face off? γ γ γ
Thanks for the update ππ
Odin “love” for Yuri can really battle with Lakis “subordination”
Thanks for chap
Lol and now imagine the fragment is gone when. Yuri thinks of selling it to her buyer.
Lakris couldn’t overcome odin’s feelings for yuri lol
How many shipping siren and odin?
Tl-ssi the next chap link of previous chapter is broken
Well.. Both of them control birds… So xD
Thank you so much! Love Lakis being jelly, and good that Odin is still not completely lost π
Yeah, it’s hard to search a gift that’s not too cheap or too expensive, it always gives me headache. Maybe Damon will help Yuri? Lol, ofc while at it, he takes the chance to date Yuri. And then Lakis suddenly appear to kidnap Yuri! Nice going my imagination. Thanks for the chapter desu~
Thank you <3
Lakis will meet Damon with Yuri after this. He will getting more badmood after this hahahahaha.. I want to see someone SUPER JEALOUS next chapter.. ///>__<///
