Nam Da-eun arrived at the hospital surrounded by Scarlett’s magic.

“Are you here to meet Hoyeon?”

“Yes. Da-eun told me last time, right? That she wants revenge on the Buyer’s Guild.”

“…Did Scarlett tell Hoyeon?”

Nam Da-eun frowned slightly.

He had to repay Lee Ho-yeon.

You shouldn’t receive anything more.

This is because he still thought that he and Lee Ho-yeon were in a relationship.

“No. Before I could say anything, Hoyeon planned it himself. He personally collected information about the Buyer’s Guild and has always wanted to help Da-eun get revenge.”

“…Why?”

Come to think of it, I had heard directly from Lee Ho-yeon that information was being collected.

But how did Hoyeon know his own feelings?

I never told anyone except Scarlett that I wanted revenge.

If Scarlett hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known.

“Well, I don’t know exactly. Hoenn always has his own plans.”

“Why do you keep trying to help me? There’s nothing I can do for Hoyeon….”

Scarlett looked bitterly at the sullen Nam Da-eun.

Because there were people in the world who did not receive this much favor.

Scarlett originally lived only thinking about her own life without worrying about others, but as she got to know Lee Ho-yeon, she felt herself changing.

Scarlett hoped that Nam Da-eun would do better.

As we spent time together, we became attached to each other, and my younger sister, Dahee, followed me well.

So I slowly opened my mouth.

“Should I bother trying to repay you?”

“yes?”

“Hoyeon wouldn’t want that. He’s just… well, he’s a person who likes helping people. So I guess it’s okay to just say thank you for once.”

I hope that Nam Da-eun becomes a body that can receive favor.

Also, I added a word to Lee Ho-yeon to make a good impression.

The first meeting wasn’t good, but now I know he’s a pretty interesting person.

Besides, Hoyeon Lee is a lottery winner with a guaranteed win, so there is no reason not to wait in line.

Life in a large guild where you never know when it might be cut off is harder than it looks.

Be prepared to change at any time.

“….”

After hearing Scarlett’s words, Nam Da-eun closed her mouth and began to think.

What happens next depends on what Nam Da-eun does.

No matter what Scarlett says anymore, it won’t make any sense.

“We’re here. Hoyeon will be waiting for you when you go in.”

“Yes, thank you, Scarlett.”

Scarlett nodded as she saw Nam Da-eun entering the hospital room.

Nam Da-eun’s unique look of weakness, like an herbivore caught in the rain, that can be seen when Nam Da-hee is not around.

I had a little more strength back than before.

*

Rattling-

While I was meditating in bed, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened wide.

‘Is it Baek Ayoung?’

When I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head, Nam Da-eun was standing there.

“Nam Da-eun?”

Scarlett is already here.

I thought it would come in through the window, but surprisingly it came in normally.

‘clean.’

Before starting the conversation, I removed my sweat through meditation.

Now, even if I used light magic, there was no strain on my body.

“I came because you said you were looking for me.”

“That’s right. I have something to tell you. Do you want to sit there?”

After confirming that Nam Da-eun was seated, I also took up my position.

But, why is it so awkward today?

It’s definitely Nam Da-eun sitting with the same expressionless expression as usual, but should I say it’s the atmosphere?

It felt a little serious.

First, I brought up the story I had prepared.

“Did I tell you last time that I was collecting information about the Buyer’s Guild?”

“huh.”

“I’m done gathering information. I’m going to blow it up soon, but I wanted to hear your opinion before that, so I called you.”

In fact, the information gathering was already over, but the preparations are now done, so that’s it.

I looked at Nam Da-eun’s expression.

Nam Da-eun’s facial expression as she blinked was still difficult to read.

But I know you’re a little worried.

“The moment we unlock this information, Park Min-gyu will be finished. Then you too can now move around with peace of mind.”

“…huh.”

“But I don’t want to end it so simply. I don’t want to end it by just bringing down Park Min-gyu, who caused you and Da-hee pain.”

“….”

No, why isn’t he responding?

There was no reaction at all, so even when I brought up Park Min-gyu’s name directly, there was no reaction.

Nam Da-eun, who was looking at me, closed her eyes slightly and opened her mouth.

“why?”

“huh?”

“Why can’t you forgive Park Min-gyu? Why are you helping me like that?”

“uh….”

Nam Da-eun’s eyes were more serious than ever.

It’s definitely worth thinking that way.

The excuse I gave when I first saved Nam Da-hee and Nam Da-eun was ‘coincidence’.

‘While researching the Shinyoung Guild, I also ended up investigating the Buyer’s Guild, and by chance I saved you.’

But this time is different.

Since the Shinyoung Guild collapsed, there was no need to investigate the Buyers Guild, but the investigation continued for Nam Da-eun.

He moved for Nam Da-eun without any excuses.

Of course, if you squeeze, you can make excuses.

‘We investigated together with the previous investigation.’

‘I started researching before I even met you, and luckily it’s finished now.’

Even if it’s not like this, you can still make an excuse.

But Nam Da-eun was facing me.

He looked into my eyes, showing all his emotions.

“….”

★Heroine status window

[Nam Da-eun]

-[Likeability: 94](+0.1)

-[Sexual drive: 75]

-[Appetite: 35]

-[Fatigue: 40]

Current status: Why. Why? The reason Ho-yeon is helping me.

Nam Da-eun is pure.

Even in difficult situations where his younger brother was imprisoned and exploited by Park Min-gyu, he cried and laughed for a few hundred won and became innocent like a child when he went to see his younger brother.

To show his gratitude, he learns sex and returns the favor with his body, and he is not suspicious of whether there is a succubus or a suspicious blonde beauty in the men’s dormitory.

Because they are all my colleagues who helped me.

Nam Da-eun is so pure, but that doesn’t mean she’s stupid.

I stopped thinking and looked into Nam Da-eun’s eyes.

Expressionless but sympathetic eyes.

They didn’t seem suspicious of me.

Simple curiosity.

Even if I were to make a vague excuse and move on, it would not be a big problem and it was just curiosity.

It won’t decrease the already high level of favorability.

However, for a perfect strategy, you must not lie now.

My senses from targeting the heroines so far were telling me that.

In the end, I retracted the lies I had been thinking about.

After taking a slow, deep breath, I looked at Nam Da-eun’s face.

“favor.”

“favor?”

“Can I say it’s a favor? I just want to be nice to you. Because I like you… a person named Nam Da-eun.”

“….”

“Those are my honest feelings. So, please tell me honestly too. What should I do with Park Min-gyu to make you feel at ease?”

It’s a little different than I thought, but it worked out well.

Nam Da-eun pursed her lips.

It seemed like he was worried about how to spit out the words he was forming in his mouth.

I waited patiently and slowly.

I’ve said everything I wanted to say, and now all I have to do is decide for Nam Da-eun.

“…I want revenge.”

“….”

“Uncle Min-gyu. No, I want to see Park Min-gyu destroyed with my own eyes. I don’t want to let him end comfortably… by simply being buried by society.”

Nam Da-eun bit her lip so hard that it bled and spilled out the words she had been keeping.

A trembling body and reddened eyes.

The hatred felt in every word.

For the first time, Nam Da-eun poured out her feelings about what happened to her.

I can’t even imagine how much determination that series of actions required.

“Yes. Don’t worry. The preparations have already been completed.”

I just smiled very faintly and gently held Nam Da-eun’s hand.

The cold, trembling hand stopped for a moment, but did not shake it off.

*

“Scarlett.”

“Yes, Hoyeon.”

After calming down her emotions, Nam Da-eun was sent back for a moment, and then Scarlett was called out from hiding.

Scarlett, who was hanging from the ceiling, looked weaker than usual.

“Did you cry by any chance?”

“…I didn’t cry.”

I asked as a joke, but I was surprised by the strong response.

“Well, anyway…did you hear everything I said?”

I handed over the letter I had written in advance to Scarlett.

“Yes. Shall we proceed as you said last time?”

“Um, just a moment, Scarlett.”

I spread the rumor to my informants that I am taking Nam Da-eun and Nam Da-hee, and I personally contact the head of the buyers guild and threaten him with information.

This was the original plan.

But now the situation is a little different.

The head of the buyer guild began to come to the sunny area.

He was frequently appearing on TV as a whistleblower of the Shinyoung Guild.

I came up with a new plan.

“A person who climbs high accelerates more when he falls.”

It throws you into the abyss when you are at the peak of your life.

That’s real revenge.

“I think it would be better to explode something light first.”

First, explode the small ones, and then explode the larger ones one by one.

“How about something like this?”

At that time, Scarlett looked at me with a meaningful smile.

“Like what?”

“They are using Hoyeon’s image. They raised the Buyer Guild leader to the sky, and this time, Hoyeon is blowing the whistle.”

Wow, that’s creepy.

The plan is so shady.

But it was that good.

“…Are you a genius?”

“Because I’m used to this kind of thing. The public doesn’t know the secret behind Ho-yeon who reveals women, so I can use the image of a genius wizard well.”

“If you hadn’t told me after that, I would have seriously thought about releasing the contract.”

Anyway, Scarlett specializes in shadowy matters.

I’ll have to ask again later.

“Then let’s call the reporter I know first.”

The reason I worked so hard at the association’s social party was for today.

I looked around my smartwatch, looking for people to contact.
