My Soul card is a Reaper

Three days later;

Refugee Camp 7, Arland City;

In one of the refugee camps, where refugees from outside lived until their accommodations were settled by the city council, Shi Yejin and her ex were seen helping out at the infirmary.

Because of Eren's experience of helping out at his father's clinic, his help was greatly appreciated. His good looks only became a bonus.

Of course, he is merely a high school student. Hence, there was no such thing as attraction from the lady staff or patients. He merely looked pleasing to their eyes. That's all.

On the other hand, Shi Yejin was seen struggling to work out as a helper. She grew up as a spoiled rich daughter of a Mayor and granddaughter of a six-time former Mayor of Shengzen City. Hence, it is expected. But, it isn't just that.

Fortunately for her, no one dares to try taking advantage of the situation and molesting her or sexually harass her in any way. Her identity and the support from Arland's City Mayor could be credited for that.

The fact that she is volunteering for this job instead of spending her life at the Mayor's house itself is surprising for most of them.

How would they know that this girl is working hard, just for the sake of that boy?

It was obvious to the staff working there at the infirmary, but the person in question had a different thought entirely.

It was the time of noon and Eren was given a lunch break. Shi Yejin, on the other hand, was told to work by the stern head nurse who was jealous of her background.

Making a sad face, she continued to work as the helper for one of the nurses as Eren left from there.

Soon after, Azzy entered the tent with an injured young man on his back and an unharmed child on his side.

"Excuse me…" As his voice was heard, Shi Yejin's face lit up.

She looked like a little girl who was excited that her dad came home after work.

"Azrael, you are here…" She greeted him with all smiles on her face, almost blocking his path.

Just as the others around wondered whether this girl was in love or something, she added a question before Azzy got to reply to her greeting. "Did you bring it?"

Azzy calmly nodded and took out a smartphone from his pocket, "It was damaged by the way."

She took it from his hands and looked at the broken screen and then at the back and side, "It is alright. As long as the sim card isn't damaged, I'm perfectly fine."

Azzy couldn't help but speak in his head as he stared at the smartphone in her hands, "It is quite amazing that everything from human anatomy to the architecture in this alien world is identity to ours. Even smartphones weren't an exception. They were also designed in the same way, although those bezels were quite thicker and the screen size was a bit smaller.

Considering we had once an advanced civilization millions of years ago, I wonder whether some of the survivors from the apocalypse made it to this world… Or else, how come we speak the same language too?

If there is some distinction that I have to point out, it is their names and culture and writing system, especially the race of people like this girl. These people had pale looks and Monolids, just like Dr. Mac. Thankfully, there are people who look like me as well, or else, I wouldn't have been able to blend in with these people.

Hmm… now that I think about it, it has been a while since I came here. I wonder if I should start searching for Louis. But, I can't leave them like this though. I guess I should…"

"Hello… Azrael?" Shi Yejin's voice disrupted his thoughts and brought him to reality.

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something." Azzy excused himself and went ahead on handed over the patient to the doctor.

As he was about to leave, Shi Yejin stopped him, asking him whether he would wait to accompany her to the barracks as she wanted to take lunch to her brother, who was currently training to serve the army and fend off the zombie attacks in the future.

The soldiers don't get to enjoy luxury meals like the people they are protecting. They could only eat the rations provided for them. Very often, it will be rice balls, canned food, energy bars, dried fruits, etc…

Azzy couldn't help but sigh in his heart and agree to her request, knowing that it wasn't safe for a girl to go into a place like that all alone even if they were soldiers.

Unlike his world, this place doesn't have any soul energy. The girls are quite vulnerable, especially adolescents like her. It is even more now that the world has fallen into chaos.

He then talked to the doctor to give her a break and let her follow him to the Barracks.

Azzy and Shi Yejin then visited the cafeteria to buy some premium food. There, she saw Eren with the looks rivaling a celebrity surrounded by a few teenage girls.

She could see stars twinkling in their eyes and they were giggling and chatting with him.

Meanwhile, Azzy walked ahead a few steps to the counter and saw that the girl wasn't there. As he turned around, she was seen standing somewhere and staring at Eren's table.

"This girl…" Azzy shook his head with a smile. It was obvious to him, but he lacked the luxury to care about her love life. Not to mention, he barely knows her. The fact that he was helping her out of pity itself is enough.

Or so, Azzy thought as he called her name, not knowing that he indirectly just helped her once again, "Shi Yejin."

His voice wasn't particularly loud, but enough to draw the attention of Eren and bring Shi Yejin out of her trance.

"Ah, Yes, coming…" The girl responded loudly and scurried toward him. This time, it was Eren's turn to stare at her in silence.

"Hurry up. We don't have time for distractions," Azzy urged her to place the order.

"Sorry," The girl bowed a bit in embarrassment, "Give me five minutes."

As Azzy looked away, the girl thought a bit and asked, "By the way, you didn't have lunch right? Let me give you a treat as thanks."

"It's alright. I'll eat later," Azzy refused it, but the girl insisted on giving him the treat, telling him that she hadn't eaten since morning and was too hungry. Since he had to wait until then, she requested him to join her.

Now or later, since he had to eat anyway, Azzy couldn't help but nod, "Fine."

"Great." Shi Yejin let out a bright smile and turned around to the counter, "Hi. Give us three premium sets. Pack one for the takeout. Thanks."

With trays filled with bowls of food, Azzy and Shi Yejin walked to the table near Eren's and sat down.

"What are you doing here?" Eren, surprisingly, took the initiative to talk to her as soon as sat down. With a frown on his face, it made him as if he was displeased.

"Eh?" Shi Yejin was taken aback at first but then nodded, "Yes, I'm visiting my brother. Since I was afraid to go alone, I asked Azrael's help."

"Stop being selfish," He instantly scolded her while displaying his displeasure, "Mr. Garcia is an important person. His every minute is valuable for the city. Don't waste his time."

After scolding her, he looked at Azzy and apologized, "Sorry about her. I can take her to the barracks. No need to waste your time on such a menial task."

"You will come with me?" Shi Yejin's eyes widened in surprise.

Azzy glanced at her face which was glowing and then at Eren's. Before she reacts, he responds with a nod of agreement, "That's good. Just don't hesitate to call me if anything happens out of your control."

Azzy finished up his lunch as fast as possible and left the place before reporting to the General in order to receive his so-called surprise reward.

Imagine his shock when General O'Dwyer gave the photograph as his next mission. It contains a picture of a man and a young boy. One look at the picture and eight out of ten people would say that the man is an archeologist.

But that's not why he was shocked.

"Louis? And this is… Eren, isn't he? Is this a fate of what?"

As Azzy was shocked by the photo, the General spoke, "Mr. Garcia, based on the rough sketch you have given us, I believe this is the man you were looking for." After a brief pause, he added, "It looks like I'm right. But, I'm not sure whether he is alive though."

"He is alive. I'm sure of it." Azzy clenched his fist. He saluted to the general and left for the barracks.
