Becoming the Guide of the Mysophobic Villain? Absolutely Not! - Chapter 211
My name suddenly came up, surprising both me and Daniel, who had been smiling politely. If Daniel had chosen a different Guide for the guiding simulation, the Guides would have believed he had feelings for that person.
However, since it was unlikely Daniel had feelings for me, who’s already imprinted with an Esper, the Guides must have been talking about it behind my back.
Daniel’s gaze briefly met mine, a look that only I could recognize. He then quickly turned his head back to the Guides surrounding him.

After revealing his guiding allergy and apologizing to Sonnet, Daniel became the center of attention in the Guide Division.
Unlike me, who only pretended to be an idol of the Guide Division under the influence of capitalism, Daniel was different. He naturally possessed enough charm to attract people.
Daniel frequently visited the Guide Division, even after being forgiven by Sonnet. It wasn’t just during joint training; he came at all hours.
In the mornings, he could be seen using his height to post notices on the bulletin board, doing tasks that office workers in the Guide Division should have been handling.
…Did he really need to help so diligently, even rolling up his sleeves?
Every time I saw him, I wondered, but I just accepted it.
After returning from class, I would see Daniel again. He would be receiving snacks as a token of gratitude from the office workers in the Guide Division.
Daniel, of course, never missed joint training.
In terms of frequency, I saw him as often as Simeyez or Epine, the people I was closest to in the Guide Division.
However, despite his frequent visits to the Guide Division and joint training, Daniel and I never had the opportunity to acknowledge each other. Even after revealing his guiding allergy, Daniel was always surrounded by Guides.
The Guides standing near Daniel, maintaining a proper distance, had faces that shone brightly.
An S-Class Esper, handsome, rare for being polite and friendly to everyone. While relationships between Espers and Guides are typically formed out of necessity, it’s different if the partner was Daniel.
He’s an Esper who can become the fantasy for Guides dreaming of love.
They might be hoping for a miracle—that they are the one to save Daniel, who struggles with a guiding allergy.
If that were possible, they would be the sole recipient of the undeniably wonderful and charming Daniel’s affection.
It was fortunate.
Daniel seemed determined to overcome his guiding allergy, and many Guides around him seemed brave enough to guide him despite the risks.
Most importantly, knowing he didn’t have to be alone anymore was a great comfort to me, as I had partly contributed to his isolation.
Given the situation, Daniel was the most frequent topic of conversation among the female Guides.
“There’s definitely a guide he has feelings for.”
During a joint training session held in a small auditorium, replacing the closed main auditorium, a Guide said seriously while looking at Daniel, who participated as usual.
“Hm, could it be Sonnet? He’s been visiting her almost every day, checking on her and giving her gifts,” one Guide sitting nearby speculated.
But that suggestion was swiftly dismissed.
“He apologized to Sonnet and received her forgiveness. If it were because of Sonnet, he would only follow her around. Look at today, Sonnet is still in the infirmary receiving treatment, but Daniel joined the class.”
“But Daniel has a guiding allergy, right? He said it’s extremely painful when he touches a guide. Would he really go through all this to be with a guide he likes?”
“Ugh, you fool. Even if he has a guiding allergy, he’s still an Esper. Do you think he can live without a Guide forever? He needs to find a way to heal and receive guiding.”
“Then… if Daniel really has a Guide he likes and that’s why he’s doing this… does that mean it’s one of us?”
