Damn My Guide Volume 2

#5

As the cold winter passed, the time came when tender green shoots began to sprout on the dry branches.

There had been considerable changes in personnel. Some individuals experienced a shift in rank, while others were reassigned to different locations. People departed from the southern Gyeonggi region to other areas, while newcomers arrived from different regions to fill their places. Familiar faces left, and unfamiliar ones filled the void they left behind.

Consequently, several teams were left with vacancies. Some teams saw new members assigned to fill these gaps, while others disbanded and were absorbed into different teams.

For Team 5, it was the former. With Choi Soo-bin’s transfer leaving a vacant spot for some time, a new team member joined.

Hyun Ho-jun, formerly part of Team 7 and a B-rank Esper, had been promoted to A-rank this year and assigned to Team 5. His ability was controlling fire.

His compatibility with Team 5 wasn’t exactly ideal, so Kang I-won couldn’t understand why Hyun Ho-jun was placed on their team. However, he didn’t voice his thoughts.

With a bright smile of goodwill, Hyun Ho-jun bowed slightly at the waist and greeted them in an energetic voice.

Hyun Ho-jun turned to Kang I-won, flashing a bright smile as he greeted him.

“Hello!”

“Yes, hello.”

Hyun Ho-jun greeted everyone with a beaming smile, but Kang I-won couldn’t help but look at him with a slightly awkward expression. He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but there was a strange sense of familiarity and delight on Hyun Ho-jun’s face.

Grasping Kang I-won’s hand firmly, Hyun Ho-jun gave it a big shake.

“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Before?”

“Yes! When the Splitting White Serpent appeared.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

The Splitting White Serpent—a snake monster with three heads. Had they met back then? Kang I-won tried to recall Hyun Ho-jun’s ability: fire. Images of flames, resembling tidal waves, engulfing the white serpent came to mind.

“Ah, that time.”

Hyun Ho-jun lit up with joy, realizing Kang I-won remembered him.

“I really wanted to greet you back then, but you left before I had the chance. It’s great to be on the same team now!”

“Ah… yes.”

Kang I-won nodded stiffly and pulled his hand away. Hyun Ho-jun, unfazed, withdrew his hand without hesitation and asked,

“By the way, where’s the Guide?”

“He’ll be here soon.”

Just as Han Kang-jin said, they waited for a bit before the door opened, and a familiar face entered the lounge. It was Heo Do-gyeong, though his appearance was slightly different—his bangs were a bit out of place compared to his usually neat hairstyle. Han Kang-jin greeted him warmly.

“Perfect timing. Guide Heo Do-gyeong, let’s do introductions. This is Hyun Ho-jun, an Esper who’s joining our Team 5 starting today.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Heo Do-gyeong gave a slight nod in greeting.

“Hyun Ho-jun, this is our temporary Guide, Heo Do-gyeong.”

“Nice to meet you, Guide Heo Do-gyeong. I look forward to working with you.”

Even though winter had turned to spring, Heo Do-gyeong was still Team 5’s ‘temporary’ Guide. Hyun Ho-jun bowed politely in return as he greeted him.

After the introductions, Han Kang-jin looked over his team members before clearing his throat.

“And starting today, Guide Heo Do-gyeong will be joining us in the field.”

It wasn’t surprising news to anyone except Hyun Ho-jun, who was hearing it for the first time.

Last winter, for reasons unknown, Heo Do-gyeong had enrolled in the Guide Training Program. Surprisingly, he had shown consistent effort and managed to complete the one-year program in just three months.

The primary reason for his accelerated completion was his exceptional marksmanship. A talent he hadn’t even realized he had blossomed the moment he held a gun.

Of course, it also helped that Heo Do-gyeong had been steadily maintaining his physical fitness through regular exercise.

Thanks to these efforts, Heo Do-gyeong completed the program in a record-breaking short time, earning the title of ‘Field Guide’ alongside the Guide designation.

Field Guides were a rare breed. Unlike other Guides who worked safely within the center’s protective walls, Field Guides chose to be out in the field, working directly with their teams.

Initially, Field Guides would gain hands-on experience by working alongside the Espers in their team. Once they had sufficient experience, they could join specialized teams consisting only of Field Guides, dispatched to areas requiring their skills. Of course, many Guides opted to remain with their teams, directly supporting their members on the front lines.

Now, Heo Do-gyeong had become one of those Field Guides. Field. A term that felt utterly mismatched with someone like Heo Do-gyeong.

Standing beside Han Kang-jin, Heo Do-gyeong bowed his head slightly in greeting.

“I look forward to working with you.”

“Kang I-won, you’ll mentor Guide Heo Do-gyeong.”

A mentor’s role was to help a Field Guide adapt to working on-site while ensuring their protection. Even though the team moved as a unit, there were always dangerous moments where someone needed to take full responsibility for the Guide’s safety.

Typically, the team leader or the strongest team member would take on this role.

So when the task fell to him, Kang I-won couldn’t help but voice his confusion, though only a faint question escaped his lips.

“…Me?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

“Yes,” Han Kang-jin confirmed with a nod.

Kang I-won frowned slightly at the response. The idea of having to actively protect someone wasn’t something he welcomed—especially if that someone was a Guide.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Why me, of all people?

Han Kang-jin rarely reversed a decision once he’d made up his mind. So Kang I-won knew that no matter how much he argued, nothing would change.

That meant the person Kang I-won needed to talk to wasn’t Han Kang-jin, but the one directly involved—Heo Do-gyeong. Even though Han Kang-jin rarely reversed his decisions, he might reconsider if Heo Do-gyeong requested it.

“Well then, now that the introductions are done, take care of what you need to,” Han Kang-jin said, wrapping up his announcements before leaving the lounge to attend to his duties as team leader. Kim Young-ho followed him out shortly after.

Having no reason to stay, Heo Do-gyeong also exited the lounge. Kang I-won was about to follow him, but he was stopped by Hyun Ho-jun, who was now seated beside him. Feeling the hand holding him back, Kang I-won turned his head.

Hyun Ho-jun looked a bit shy as he began to speak.

“Um, do you… do you remember me?”

“…What?”

Kang I-won couldn’t quite grasp the sudden question and didn’t bother hiding his confusion.

“From before, during the snake monster incident?”

“Not that time. I mean, even before that….”

Before that? Kang I-won stared at Hyun Ho-jun, who had a faint blush on his face. But no matter how hard he tried to recall, the face didn’t leave an impression in his memory. Kang I-won shook his head.

“No. I don’t remember.”

While it was possible they’d crossed paths at the same center, casual encounters weren’t enough for him to remember someone clearly.

“Ah… Yeah, I thought that might be the case,” Hyun Ho-jun muttered, sounding a little disappointed.

Hyun Ho-jun, wearing an expression mixed with disappointment and regret, murmured something unintelligible under his breath. Then, with a bright smile, he asked,

“Can I call you ‘Hyung’?”

“…What?”

Kang I-won was taken aback. Hyun Ho-jun, still as cheerful and approachable as ever, continued,

“I’ve always wanted to get closer to you, hyung. It’s just that our schedules and areas never lined up before, so we didn’t have the chance to meet. But now that we’re on the same team, we can.”

The hopeful look on Hyun Ho-jun’s face made Kang I-won feel awkward. This was the first day they’d exchanged names, and he barely knew anything about him.

For someone like Kang I-won, whose only real friend was Choi Soo-bin, relationships with others were an uphill battle. Hyun Ho-jun’s unreserved approach and one-sided friendliness made him uncomfortable, if not outright uneasy.

Espers often moved between regions, leading to frequent changes in teams and teammates. For that reason, Kang I-won never felt the need to go out of his way to build close relationships with his colleagues, even those in the same team.

More than that, he found the term “hyung” particularly off-putting.

“…Uh, no,” Kang I-won replied with hesitation but decisiveness.

At his awkward rejection, Hyun Ho-jun’s eyebrows drooped as he asked with a pitiable look,

“Do you not like being called ‘hyung’?”

“Yes.”

Kang I-won’s firm response made Hyun Ho-jun smile sheepishly, his expression returning to normal.

“Then I’ll call you ‘Sunbae-nim¹’ instead, since you’re my senior.”

“…Do whatever you want.”

Ending the conversation there, Kang I-won quickly got up and walked off, hurrying to follow Heo Do-gyeong. Though Heo Do-gyeong had already disappeared from sight, it wasn’t hard to guess where he’d gone.

Kang I-won knocked on the door of Guide Room 10, Heo Do-gyeong’s guiding office. The door unlocked immediately, and he stepped inside.

Without even looking up from the tablet in his hands, Heo Do-gyeong asked,

“You don’t need guiding yet. What’s the matter, coming here unprompted?”

“I need to talk to you.”

“What is it?”

Kang I-won didn’t hesitate and went straight to the point.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“I don’t know why I was made your mentor, but I think it would be better if you requested a replacement.”

Heo Do-gyeong, still fixated on his tablet, let out a small laugh before replying.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Why would I? I specifically asked for you as my mentor.”

“…Why?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Because I wanted to.”

The casual response left Kang I-won speechless, his frustration evident as he pinched the bridge of his nose. It felt like dealing with a stubborn child. Taking a deep breath, he tried to reason in a calm voice.

“The field is more dangerous than you might think. I’m not capable of protecting you. You should request a different team member as your mentor. Even Young-ho would be a better choice than me.”

“I don’t want to. Besides, what do you mean you can’t protect me? You’re an A-rank Esper.”

“Not all A-ranks are the same. Sure, I’m A-rank, but my ability is regeneration. It’s useless for protecting someone else. All I can do is barely keep myself alive.”

Kang I-won spoke with a matter-of-fact tone, his self-deprecating words delivered with unsettling nonchalance.

“So it would be better if you found a different mentor. If you don’t like anyone on our team, transferring to another team might not be a bad idea.”

As Kang I-won finished speaking, Heo Do-gyeong continued to scan his tablet in silence. After a long pause, he finally spoke.

“Kang I-won, do you know something?”

“…What?”

“I get really irritated when I see people who don’t value their own lives.”

The abrupt remark left Kang I-won visibly confused, his expression clouded with doubt. Heo Do-gyeong continued without waiting for a response.

“They don’t realize it themselves. It’s the people around them who go crazy. No matter how much you tell them, they never listen. Worse, they don’t even realize they’re doing anything wrong…”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Kang I-won couldn’t make the connection between what Heo Do-gyeong was saying and his suggestion to assign someone else as his mentor.

At this, Heo Do-gyeong finally looked up from his tablet and placed it on the table. The screen displayed information about an ant colony infested with a dispersing queen ant.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

In his usual even tone, Heo Do-gyeong said, “I’ve seen the records.”

The information shared between Guides and Espers varied significantly in both quantity and detail. Guides were provided with basic data—monster types, characteristics, and general protocols for encounters. But nothing more than that.

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

Details about a monster’s weaknesses, how to combat it, specific characteristics, and combat records were only provided to Espers and Field Guides.

In the past, all information was shared equally between Guides and Espers. However, after a certain incident, detailed information was restricted to Espers. When Field Guides were introduced, they were granted access to the same level of information as Espers.

Until recently, Heo Do-gyeong couldn’t access such information, but now, as a fully-fledged Field Guide, he was provided with data similar to what Kang I-won received.

The information displayed on Heo Do-gyeong’s tablet about the ant colony was previously restricted to him but was now available due to his new role.

“I noticed you don’t seem to take care of yourself at all, Kang I-won,” Heo Do-gyeong remarked, his gloved finger tracing a line of text on the screen.

“…When more than half of Esper K’s calf had been eaten, they regained consciousness and, with Esper H’s help, immediately destroyed the queen’s core before retiring. Once the queen’s core was destroyed…”

Heo Do-gyeong’s finger lingered on the phrase “more than half of the calf.”

“What does that have to do with you, Guide Heo Do-gyeong?” Kang I-won asked, still not understanding the connection.

“I already told you. It irritates me.”

“Why would it irritate you whether I take care of myself or not?”

“It bothers me.”

“…What?”

“I said, it bothers me. It gets on my nerves. That, and the other time…”

Heo Do-gyeong trailed off, his voice calm but carrying an edge of irritation that made Kang I-won even more confused.

Heo Do-gyeong furrowed his brows slightly as if recalling something, then closed his eyes. After a brief moment, the tension in his expression eased, and he opened them again.

“So stick close to me and protect me. Maybe then you’ll stop throwing yourself around so recklessly.”

To Kang I-won, Heo Do-gyeong’s behavior felt like an overstep.

Fighting monsters was an Esper’s job, and how Kang I-won chose to do it was none of Heo Do-gyeong’s business.

“What does it matter to you whether I throw myself around or not? Who are you to care?”

For some reason, every conversation with Heo Do-gyeong seemed to set Kang I-won’s nerves on edge, making his tone sharp and biting.

But Heo Do-gyeong, unfazed by the tone, responded with a small laugh.

“Who am I? Your Guide, of course.”

It was ridiculous, but not even a dry laugh escaped Kang I-won. Someone still labeled as “temporary” calling himself your Guide? Heo Do-gyeong could leave at any moment, yet his words carried an air of permanence that irritated him.

“So you’re saying you’re determined to keep me as your mentor?”

“Exactly. I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

With that, Heo Do-gyeong extended a gloved hand, as if inviting a handshake. The smooth curve of his smirking lips only added to the irritation.

The role of a Field Guide was largely divided into three main tasks:

1. Assisting civilians in evacuating when Espers were battling monsters.

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

2. Providing guidance to Espers.

3. In emergencies, supporting Espers by using anti-monster firearms to neutralize threats.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

The third role, however, was rarely required. The anti-monster firearms given to Guides were primarily used for self-defense or to protect civilians.

Judgment was the most crucial quality required of Guides tasked with such roles. The field was the ideal place to cultivate this skill, which explained why the training program for Guides, who were essentially civilians, only lasted one year.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

Judgment wasn’t something that could be developed through study or endless drills at the center. One real-life experience in the field surpassed any amount of training.

Having completed the program early, Heo Do-gyeong joined the field faster than most. For now, he only accompanied the team during full deployments or patrols like this one.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

Patrolling was a daily task for all teams, divided into two shifts—morning and afternoon. At night, when fewer civilians were outside, detection-type Espers took over the work.

Given the expansive area to cover and the limited personnel, team members divided zones among themselves for efficiency. As a Guide, Heo Do-gyeong was paired with his mentor, Kang I-won.

Over several days of working together, Kang I-won found himself reevaluating Heo Do-gyeong.

What he’d assumed was just a whim turned out to be more serious—Heo Do-gyeong had not only completed his training early but also followed along in the field without complaints. Despite his germophobia, he endured surprisingly well.

When monster blood or bodily fluids splattered nearby, Heo Do-gyeong would grimace slightly but refrained from making a fuss.

While on patrol, Kang I-won spotted a harmless turtle-like monster and pointed it out, asking,

“What’s the characteristic of that monster?”

“F-rank. Low aggression. It won’t attack first unless its head is disturbed. Also, it’s timid and will retreat into its hard shell at the slightest threat.”

“And the method of elimination?”

“Remain silent until it sticks its head back out. As soon as it does, grab its neck quickly and pull its body out of the shell.”

“You know your stuff.”

“I studied.”

Heo Do-gyeong’s ability to answer every question about the monster’s characteristics and behavior showed his dedication. It was clear he had diligently memorized his studies.

Well, he had always been diligent. Even before this, he’d never once rejected a guiding request. The problem was that his poor first impression overshadowed his efforts.

As the turtle-like monster crawled along, Heo Do-gyeong watched it idly and remarked,
“There’s no need to call anyone else for this.”

It was an easy monster to handle. Kang I-won crouched in front of the turtle monster, now safely tucked into its shell, and replied briefly.

“Seems that way.”

Just as Heo Do-gyeong had said, the proper way to deal with the turtle monster was to wait patiently for its head to emerge.

But that took too long.

Before Heo Do-gyeong could stop him, Kang I-won rolled up his sleeve to his elbow and shoved his arm into the monster’s shell.

The powerful acid inside began to corrode Kang I-won’s flesh, but he ignored it. A faint sizzle accompanied the sound of flesh burning.

Inside the shell, the passage through which the monster’s head moved was coated in acid. This acid had a peculiar property: it vaporized upon exposure to air. That’s why the recommended method was to wait until the monster’s head reemerged.

But Kang I-won had no reason to hold back. His injuries would regenerate without leaving a single scar. There was no need to wait.

Startled by Kang I-won’s sudden actions, Heo Do-gyeong widened his eyes and shouted,
“What are you doing?!”

“It’s dangerous. Step back.”

Kang I-won replied nonchalantly as he used his shoulder to nudge Heo Do-gyeong away. He moved his hand purposefully. It should be around here somewhere. Soon, his fingers closed around something soft and squishy. Without hesitation, Kang I-won grabbed hold and yanked it out.

The monster’s neck emerged in his acid-damaged arm, the flesh ragged and torn. The acid clinging to his arm evaporated the moment it touched the air. With a firm grip, Kang I-won pulled the slime-like, squishy body of the turtle monster out of its shell.

Once separated from its shell, the monster’s body began to dissolve as it came into contact with the air. It writhed sluggishly for a moment before going limp. Kang I-won shook his hand to rid himself of the dissolved remains.

Scanning the area for the next target, Kang I-won was abruptly yanked back by the shoulder. Heo Do-gyeong, biting his lip to suppress his anger, spoke in a restrained voice.

“What, exactly, do you think you’re doing?”

“Because it’s faster?”

“You could have just waited! If you waited a little longer, you could’ve caught it without getting hurt. Why do you have to go to such lengths?”

At Heo Do-gyeong’s outburst, Kang I-won replied as if he genuinely didn’t understand.

“Why would I sit around waiting? This way is quicker.”

“Oh, really? Then maybe I should do the same? Shove my hand in there like you did?”

Must be my imagination. Shrugging off the thought, he stretched out his now fully healed arm, showing it off. It was pristine, free of any scars or marks, as though nothing had happened.

In the end, faced with Heo Do-gyeong’s not-quite-a-threat, Kang I-won had no choice but to patiently wait for the monsters to poke their heads out. Once they did, he grabbed their necks, pulled their bodies out, and disposed of them one by one.
