‘An artifact your sister used?’
I trembled at Andras’ urgent words.
It was the trace of his sister that we finally found after wandering around for several days.
However, anxiety soared before expectations. It was because his sister’s artifact was in the hands of an unknown man.
As if saying his thoughts were similar to mine, Andras’ face was full of anxiety.
The man, who appeared to be the owner of the artifact repair shop, took his hands off the artifact he was repairing.
After correcting his glasses once again, he opened his mouth.
“I don’t think you’re a customer who came to get the Artifact repaired
 
 what brings you here?”
I couldn’t think of what to answer at the moment, so I mumbled my lips.
From the store owner’s point of view, our behavior would definitely look very strange.
After a moment’s thought, I talked to the store owner with a calm face.
“Excuse me. Are you the owner of this store?”
“
.”
– Nod.
The store owner nodded with an irritated look,
‘Why am I asking useless questions?’
“I happened to see the artifact that was being repaired while passing by. I think it’s something we’re looking for
. May I know where you got that artifact?”
When I asked, the store owner answered curtly, slightly puffing up his face.
“Why should I tell you that?”
“Uh
 It’s
 becaus
”
While I couldn’t answer properly because I was flustered, Andras, who was next to me suddenly intervened.
“I’m looking for my sister who went missing. The artifact must have been the one used by my sister. If you don’t mind, can you tell me how you got that artifact? I beg you.”
Andras asked in a very desperate manner. The store owner stared at Andras silently for a while.
There was a heavy silence and a strange tension in the store.
“The family of this artifact’s owner?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m sure it’s my sister’s artifact.”
“Then prove it.”
“What?”
We looked perplexed at the sudden request.
We were hesitating because we didn’t know how to respond.
The shopkeeper took his hands toward his forehead. And with his fist clenched, he opened both index fingers.
“

!”
We quickly noticed what his actions meant.
The store owner was obviously imitating the horns of the Demons.
Andras turned his head and looked at me. He seemed to be thinking about what to do. We have to finish our job in the Human world as secretively as possible. Revealing Andras’ identity to anyone might pose a risk.
But looking at the store owner, it felt as if he had seen Andras’ sister before and was asking to confirm something.
It didn’t take us long to decide. We decided to take some risks so that we wouldn’t miss the clue we found after a lot of struggle.
I looked at Andras and nodded slowly. Then he took his hand toward his forehead.
When the artifacts to hide the horns were removed, a large horn appeared from Andras’ forehead.
“Hmm
.”
The store owner didn’t react much looking at it.
He just leaned forward and observed the horns closely. After looking at Andras’ horns for a while, the store owner took off his glasses and put them on his desk. Then he got up from his seat, locked the door of the store, and gestured toward us.
“Follow me.”
He headed to the back of the store, leaving only a short word.
“Let’s follow him, Andras.”
“Yes.”
“Akum, stay still for a little while.”
– Pow wooooo?
We hurriedly moved after the store owner.
The store owner got out of the back door and started walking. He left the narrow alleyway and started walking into the residential area.
He entered the gate of a nearby house and strode to the front door.
We hesitated to enter a house unannounced, but the store owner opened the front door naturally and went into the house. We were forced to follow him into the house.
From the inside of the house, a gentle voice reached us.
“It’s not time for you to close the store. Why did you come home this early?”
A woman similar in age to the store owner appeared. It seemed to be his wife looking at the atmosphere.
“Oh! You came with guests?” she said in a regretful voice when she found us.
“Oh, you should have told me in advance if you brought guests.”
“Not my guest.”
“

?”
The store owner pointed his finger at Andras’ face. The middle-aged woman belatedly looked at his Demon horns and was surprised.
“Oh! Oh! Did anyone come to see that girl?”
“He said he was her family.”
“Oh! How did they know she was here? Didn’t she say there was no way to contact them?”
Andras, who couldn’t stand still, stepped forward.
“The man here had my sister’s artifact. Do you happen to know where my sister is?”
“You were really her brother? She’s here right now.”
“You mean my sister is here?”
“Yes, she’s upstairs now. Shall I guide you?”
“Please.”
When Andras asked in a trembling voice, she smiled brightly and nodded, and we followed her up the stairs to the second floor, looking puzzled by the unexpected development.
The middle-aged woman went to the second floor and knocked on the door of a room.
“Lilia~! Lilia~”
– What, Auntie?
“Your family came to see you.”
– Ah
 Ah! Wait a minute! It’s an important part right now.
An urgent voice came from the inside of the room. The middle-aged woman sighed softly and grabbed the door knob.
THUD!
The door opened and the appearance of the person inside the room got revealed.
In an ordinary room, someone was sitting in front of the computer and moving the keyboard and mouse diligently.
Soon after, the word “YOU WON” came out on the monitor screen, and the person sitting in front of the computer raised her arms.
“Oh, I won!”
With the cheers of victory, she took off her headset and turned the chair around.
Light purple bobbed hair, exceptionally sparkling eyes, and a playful face.
A Demon in comfortable human clothes started speaking with a face full of smile.
“Did you see it, Auntie? I
 Huh?”
The Demon girl’s gaze was fixed on Andras.
“Lilia
”
“Brother?”
“Ahaha! I’m sorry! I didn’t know you and father would be so worried.”
“How can we not worry? You’ve crossed dimensions. What were you going to do if you get caught by the Angels?”
“I was fine! I purposely hid my Demonic energy. I was comfortable thanks to Uncle and Auntie here.”
Andrews shook his head at the sight of his sister’s optimistic attitude.
Still, thanks to confirming that she was safe, his face was much brighter than it was before.
I never thought Andras had such a cheerful younger sister. Considering Andras’ usual attitude, I thought she would also be a little gloomy like him.
The middle-aged woman brought us a large tray of fruit as we talked while sitting on the living room couch.
“Here, have some fruit.”
“You don’t have to do this
I’m sorry. My sister is indebted to you.”
“Don’t worry about it too much and make yourself comfortable.”
Lilia answered very comfortably, as opposed to me and Andras who were feeling uncomfortable.
“Hehe! Thank you, Auntie!”
The middle-aged woman said while looking at Lilia with satisfaction.
“Lilia. You must be very excited to see your family here.”
“YES! I didn’t know my brother would come all the way here. I guess my brother cared about me more than I thought.”
“Ho ho ho! I can see it.”
“Hmm!”
Andras coughed with an embarrassed expression, while Lilia and the middle-aged woman burst out laughing.
– Poo Woo!
“Akum, do you want some fruit?”
– Poo! Woo!
Akum, who was in my arms, kept crying because he wanted to eat fruits.
When I picked up a large piece of fruit on the tray and handed it over, he quickly calmed down.
Lilia, who was watching closely, exclaimed with a shocked expression as if she realized something.
“Ah! The beast in your arms. Yakum, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then! You’re Brother Sihyeon, right?”
My face was filled with awkwardness at the sudden mention of my name from someone whom I’d met for the first time.
“I’ve heard a lot about Brother Sihyeon from my brother.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Actually, the reason why I decided to come to this world was because of the stories about brother Sihyeon. It was so much fun just listening to it.”
It felt strange because I seemed to have caused a disturbance in the Schnarpe family without my knowledge.
“I originally asked my brother to take me to the farm to meet brother Sihyeon. But, my brother wouldn’t take me. He’s really bad, right?”
“Sihyeon is a busy person. I didn’t want you to be a nuisance.”
“What? When have I ever been a nuisance?”
“Ha
 
you’re persistent and you start chasing after them once you become interested in that person. That’s why some of our relatives are avoiding you.”
“
.”
Lilia pretended as if she didn’t know what Andras was talking about while avoiding Andras’s eyes.
Just by listening to the short conversation, it was easy to see how close the two were.
Watching the conversation between brother and sister for a while, I noticed something strange.
“Excuse me, Miss Lilia?”
“Oh, Come on! What is Miss Lilia? Just call me Lilia.”
She reacted vehemently when I called her using honorifics.
“Ah

 Then Lilia?”
“Yes, brother Sihyeon.”
“I don’t think you’re wearing a translation ring right now. How are you talking in Korean?”
Andras wore an interpreter ring as soon as he entered the Human world, but Lilia didn’t seem to have any of those artifacts, so I didn’t understand why she was talking normally in Korean.
“I learned while I was here.”
“What? Within a few months?”
“Yes, I learned quickly using the computer and the TV. Especially, I learned a lot from watching dramas with Auntie. Right, Auntie?”
“Ho! That’s right. Thanks to Lilia, watching dramas are more fun these days.”
Huh

Can you speak so fluently in a foreign language by just watching dramas for a few months?
Andras whispered in a low voice to the confused me.
“When it comes to learning, Lilia is literally a genius, even though she’s a little selfish.”
“Genius?”
“If she was serious about making artifacts, she would have become much better than me in no time.”
I looked with a blank expression at the Demon girl who was talking about the dramas with the middle-aged woman.
