Shin was flabbergasted as he didn't understand why did they react like that.
Aurora was panicking. She quickly covered her eye, not daring to look at him.
"Even if you have such a hobby, you don't have to show us," Emily uttered, then walked up to Aurora.
"Calm down, lady Aurora. Let's wash our eyes." Emily quickly comforted her.
Shin was confused and didn't understand what they were talking about.
"It's okay, Shin. Even if you prefer these things. I'll always love you."
Alice's voice sounded from the side, who looked at him with resolute eyes. As if she made an important decision.
Instead of feeling the warmth from Alice's declaration, Shin felt kinda weird.
"What are you guys talking about?" Shin asked in annoyance.
But he didn't wait for anyone to answer. He followed Alice's line of sight and was left stunned and embarrassed.
The clothes he was wearing were Alice's dress, which he imagined before. Even though his body changed back to Shin, his clothes didn't change.
His face was dark, as he now understood why everyone reacted that way.
With a thought, his clothes turned back to normal. But he was already embarrassed in front of everyone.

"So you don't like cross-dressing?" Emily asked once again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I told you I don't."
Shin had already explained what had happened, but Emily didn't seem to believe him. She just kept asking again and again.
Aurora and Alice seem to believe him and even said that they were fine if he had such hobbies.
Shin just wanted to use Mind Control to erase that memory from their minds. Unfortunately, he can't. If they put up resistance, he might damage their brains. Moreover, their mental strength is very strong, so it will be very difficult.
While Shin was still in his thoughts. They heard the sound of a phone ringing.
All eyes turned to Alice as she took out her phone.
"It's Mom," Alice uttered, looking at Shin. Then picked it up. "Hello, Mom."
"Uh, yes, yes."
"He is here with me."
"Not picking up his phone?" Alice glanced sideways as she looked at him.
Shin frowned and took out his phone and saw there was a missed call from his father. Only then did he remember that he put his phone on silent.
"I see," Alice said and brought the phone to Shin.
He took it and said, "Mom?"
[It's me, Shin.]
"Oh Dad, did something happen?"
[Yes, it's because of your video. They are going to come after us.]
When Shin heard this, his expression became solemn. "Wolner Clan?"
When that name came up, Aurora and Emily's expressions changed as they looked at Shin seriously. They started listening to everything he said attentively.
[So you need to be careful.]
"Yes, I will Dad. Don't worry." There was a sharp glint in Shin's eyes.
[Come back soon and bring your new friends too.]
With that, Alfred hung up the call.

Shin returned the phone to Alice and turned to look at Aurora and Emily, who were looking at him with questioning eyes.
"Warning from Dad. They are going to contact me." Shin said with a sigh.
Aurora wanted to say something, but Alice beat her to it.
"Shin, I've found the person you were looking for."
"Oh?" Shin was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to find him so fast. 'Is this benefit of having an army of servants?'
"Should I bring him here?" Alice asked.
"Yes, do so." Shin immediately agreed.
***
A few minutes later, inside the hotel room, Alice's soul servants appeared with a human boy with them.
But even though he was kidnapped, Eddie didn't seem terrified. Instead, he was very excited.
Eddie generously cooperated with the Soul Servants and even opened the door by himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShin raised his eyebrow and looked at Eddie weirdly.
As soon as Eddie's spectacled eyes fell on Shin and the others. He excitedly ran up to them as if a fan chasing his idol.
"Hello, can I get your autograph? And if possible, a selfie too."
This time, everyone was a little weirded out. If he would have cried or begged. That reaction they would have found normal.
"You have been kidnapped, you know?" Shin asked. Feeling his reminder was quite wrong.
"I know," Eddie answered with an honest smile. Then he continued. "I was a little scared at first, but when I saw these things, I instantly knew you guys were the ones kidnapping me."
Then, with a little embarrassed tone, he said. "So, I was kinda excited."
Shin nodded his head in understanding and regarded him as his fanboy. With this, he also disregarded his thoughts of plundering his ability.
"Then do you know why you were kidnapped?"
Eddie was a little embarrassed as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Is it because of the video?"
"Yeah, it's going to bring us a lot of trouble."
Hearing Shin's words, Eddie looked a bit regretful. He didn't expect his fanboy actions will bring trouble for his idols.
Eddie was just a high school boy. He didn't have any complicated thoughts. He just wanted everyone to know about his heroes.
"I'm sorry."
Hearing his honest apology, Shin sighed and said, "Well, it can't be helped now."

After that, Eddie, who is usually quiet at school, was very active in front of his idols. They all got acquainted with him.
Only after hearing Eddie's story did they understand that Eddie's father died on the day of the Cataclysm, and his mother was the only family left with him.
"Wait? The schools in Polaris City are still running?" Shin asked in a surprised tone.
"Well, our school didn't suffer any damage on the day of the cataclysm, and the principal is very strict regarding studies," Eddie said with an irritated tone. Then he continued in a sad tone. "Unfortunately, today demons broke out and many students and teachers died in the school and most parts of the school were destroyed."
"I don't know if the principal died or not. Maybe the school will be closed from now on." He said with a yearning tone.
