Ellis’ mansion.

Tap-tap-tap-

Problems faced by Iris Guild.

Ellis, who was collecting information about the centaurs that appeared in France, stretched and stood up.

“Ha…what are we going to do?”

Because it was not a clearly established monster, the reliability of the information was low.

Ellis, who was frowning from fatigue, poured the wine placed on the desk into a glass.

“Hmm.”

Ellis, who closed her eyes and enjoyed the scent of wine, realized that the weekend would end tomorrow.

I worked all weekend, and the weekend is already over.

I have to go to the academy, and collecting information and studying starts again.

‘hmm….’

Now that I think about it, where did Scarlett go again?

There is a lot of information that needs to be collected.

Information about Ho-yeon Lee, information about the women around Ho-yeon Lee, or information about Ho-yeon Lee’s dormitory…

smart.

“come in.”

The only person who knocks on his door like this is Sebas-chan.

Because Scarlett strangely likes to wander through the window.

Ellis put down the wine glass on the desk and greeted Sebas-chan.

“Ah, lady.”

“… why?”

Sebastian Chan came into the room as if he was in a hurry.

These days, there are many times when things feel urgent like that.

He was originally a middle-aged man with a lot of leisure.

And when he didn’t have that much free time, it was always about his father.

“I received a call from the Korean branch manager. He said the guild leader has visited Korea.”

“Why on earth? No, where are you now?”

“Well… we are disarming the Korean branch personnel and searching for them.”

“How did you know you entered the country?”

“I heard that as soon as I arrived, I stopped by the Korean branch leader to ask for directions. The guild leader told me to keep it a secret, so I’m telling you secretly, so don’t tell the guild leader at all….”

“… He’s a really strange person.”

Dr. Hyorin Kang, Korea Branch Director.

Even though we are at the same academy, he is someone I don’t understand.

How can you ignore the guild leader’s words like that?

I wonder if, as a professor, he was considerate of his students.

Tidididik-

At that time, Sebastian Chan’s smart watch rang loudly.

“Yeah, hey. Where is it? What?!”

Sebastian Chan looked at the smart watch and narrowed his eyebrows.

Judging by the way he was sneaking glances at Ellis during the phone call, it looks like his dad had an accident.

After finishing the call a while later, Sebastian looked at Ellis carefully.

“…Miss. They say she’s in the commercial area of the academy.”

“Ha, Dad, what are you doing? Are you lost?”

He probably got lost trying to find his way here.

It was hereditary that Ellis was a philanderer.

My father, Isaac, also often got confused about the route.

“I don’t think that’s the case… They say he’s with Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”

“What? Why is Hoyeon here?”

Ellis couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

The two probably have nothing to do with each other?

“I’m not sure either. They say it’s the result of tracking magic power… but since the barrier is strong, I don’t know the details…”

ha.

This guy becomes like this whenever he talks about his dad.

What on earth happened to me while I was on active duty?

“Stop. Sebas-chan. Guide me quickly.”

“All right….”

I told you never to come.

Besides, are you going to meet Lee Ho-yeon without telling me?

I guess I went there because of the massage.

“… What do you do if I always say you like me?”

He sounds like a crazy dad.

Ellis came out of the mansion completely upset.

*

“… Pass.”

“…?”

‘What bullshit.’

I looked at Isaac, then glanced at Scarlett behind me.

Scarlett made eye contact with me, then shook her head slightly.

After understanding the signal, I immediately looked away.

“Whoa….”

What on earth does it mean to pass?

Have you been testing my strength?

‘Why is it the first person I met today?’

‘Are you saying you’re passing because of your son-in-law?’

Many thoughts came to mind, but I didn’t dare say them out loud.

Because I didn’t want to go out for no reason.

If you wait, I’ll tell you directly.

“….”

“….”

But the other person was not normal either.

My breathing, which had already been panting, returned to normal, and I began to feel awkward in this space where two men were making eye contact.

The two men were looking at each other for more than 10 minutes. There’s no way this wouldn’t be awkward.

“… who are you?”

In the end, I opened my mouth first.

If I were Mine, I would have spoken informally, but I couldn’t bear to speak informally to Ellis’ father.

“Did you originally know me?”

Isaac looked at me with interested eyes and opened his mouth.

‘This guy is handsome too.’

Perhaps because he is the father of the pretty Ellis, he has a lot of looks.

I think this is exactly what the hot blonde tanned gangster will look like when he gets older.

‘You can’t pretend to know.’

In the first place, it is not often that Isaac shows his face like this.

This is because the guild leader of the information guild must be kept secret.

Just by actually knowing Isaac, it means that he is a person with a certain level of authority.

However, it is absurd for a cadet who has just started to become famous to know the Emperor of the Night.

“I do not know.”

That’s why I lied.

A perk called [Clear Mental Power].

Thanks to that, I was confident in my calm acting.

“Hmm… really? I guess so.”

Isaac nodded and slowly looked at me.

“… So who are you? What do you mean by passing?”

“Passed… That means you surpassed my standards. Be happy. You have become one of the best men in the whole world.”

“….”

Why does this guy talk like this?

Has the second year of middle school illness not been cured yet?

“And who I am is a secret. While the dark night watches over you…”

“dad!”

An angry, loud voice came from behind Isaac, who was looking at me with a strange expression.

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes when I identified the owner of the voice.

“Who’s setting the mood right now… huh?”

Of course, Isaac and Scarlett also turned around to see the blonde beauty approaching.

“I told you not to come!”

“Eh, Ellis. How did you get here…?”

Ellis, who was approaching me angrily, made eye contact with me and sighed.

Then, she immediately walked up to Isaac and stabbed him in the shin with the heel of her shoe.

“Ah, ah!”

Isaac didn’t even think about blocking his daughter’s feet with magic, so he grabbed his shins and rolled to the floor.

Wow.

It hurts even when I look at it. How much it hurts.

“Are you sick? Huh? I told you not to come. I told Sebas-chan that if you come, I’ll never see you again, but why are you doing that?”

“I’m sorry… I didn’t finish reading the document…”

“That’s the problem, Dad. Always doing what I do….”

How many minutes did you wait?

Scarlett and I watched the scary Isaac get scolded by Ellis.

“You don’t trust me that much? Do you think I’d even turn my back on a man?”

“That’s not it, Dad just….”

It’s absurd, and it’s also a little funny.

For your information, Scarlett was standing behind Isaac and looking at the scene seriously.

I wanted to at least say hello to Scarlett, but Scarlett didn’t look at me at all.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry….”

“It’s okay. I’m upset. I’m not going to talk to dad anymore.”

“Eh, Ellis. I’m sorry. What should Dad do…”

“I sincerely apologize to Hoyeon, not me. He is the one who treats my illness. Dad shouldn’t have behaved like that.”

“Elise. My father is the leader of the Iris guild. It is not his position where he can bow his head as he pleases.”

Isaac straightened his back and spoke confidently.

Is it like pride that cannot be bowed down?

“Then don’t act like you know anymore. If you don’t apologize, I won’t talk to you.”

“Ellis….”

Isaac bowed humbly again, as if asking when he had lost his pride.

Well done! do well!

He’s more of a boyfriend than a father. Mmmmm.

Isaac, who was showing off his pride, looked blankly at Ellis, who was turning her head with her arms crossed, and then turned away.

A face that has truly lost the world.

‘If you don’t apologize, I won’t talk to you.’ Were those words that hurtful?

Isaac bowed his head to me with an expression of torn pride.

“I’m sorry… I’m Ellis’ father and Iris’s guild leader. I was just curious about the man who was close to my daughter. But I didn’t know how to approach him… I’m really sorry…”

“… No. It’s okay.”

It’s a bit… um. Something is wrong.

The same goes for the current situation where I am receiving an apology from Isaac.

As a father, no.

As a man, because I am not yet a father.

Would you say that you sympathize with the situation where your pride is hurt?

Isaac looked at me and then slowly turned his head to Ellis.

Tingling-

However, I lowered my head again when I saw Ellis glaring at me from the side.

“… If there’s anything you want, just tell me. As much as I can… No, that doesn’t mean everything can be done…”

“It’s okay….”

I stopped my mouth when I was about to say it was okay.

When an opportunity like this arises, you can’t just pass it up.

“…Then I have a favor to ask of you.”

Isaac swallowed, waiting for my next words.

“I would like to investigate the centaur that appeared in France together.”

“… That’s about it. I can do it.”

Isaac smiled, his lips quivering.

I was a little scared, but I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

I kept my composure and smiled as kindly as I could.

*

Ellis said this wasn’t enough and that she needed to personally apologize, so she took Lee Ho-yeon away.

“Eh, Ellis…”

Isaac was crying as he watched Ellis disappearing across the alley.

“….”

I’m tired.

Scarlett thought.

I want to break up with this crazy person quickly.

After a while, Ellis’s appearance completely disappeared.

Isaac returned his expression and smiled cheerfully as if nothing had happened.

“… Tsk. It’s a shame. In the end, I couldn’t show anything cool. It’s been a long time since I passed.”

“It’s a shame.”

Do you really think that’s cool?

Scarlett sometimes didn’t understand men.

“That was a lie.”

Isaac suddenly opened his mouth.

The corners of his mouth were still turned up with interest.

“….”

Scarlett suddenly couldn’t understand what Isaac was talking about, so she waited for his next words.

“Scarlett.”

“yes.

“Is there a possibility that information about my personal information leaked to Lee Ho-yeon?”

“doesn’t exist.”

That can be said with certainty.

I don’t know exactly how far Lee Ho-yeon guessed.

Maybe he thought that the emperor of the night would attack just by talking about Ellis’ massage.

That may be why he dropped himself.

However, I can assure you that there is no way to know information about his identity.

“Hmm… Then you just judged it based on the situation. That’s not a bad thing either. It doesn’t matter since your abilities are so good anyway.”

Isaac muttered meaningful words in front of Scarlett, then looked at Scarlett again.

“Scarlett.”

“yes.”

Scarlett lowered her head as she waited for Isaac to speak.

Looking at his good expression, it seemed like he wasn’t angry.

“You must monitor that yourself.”

“… yes?”

“I mean Lee Ho-yeon. Lee Ho-yeon.”

It seems like nothing.

Isaac took out a cigarette, pinched it, and lit a fire with his fingertips.

“You kept glancing at me while Ellis and I were talking. It seems like he’s interested in you. Or do you just like blondes?”

Scarlett’s eyes widened at Isaac’s sudden words.

And after reading that reaction, Isaac slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

“Why don’t you like it?”

“No, I will do it.”

‘thank god.’

Scarlett sighed deeply.

Just in case, I didn’t even respond to Lee Ho-yeon’s eye contact.

Because he knew best that the man in front of him was a monster.

When you are in the same space as Isaac, you must not let your guard down.

‘I’ll definitely have to tell Hoenn next time.’

If he had even received Lee Ho-yeon’s eye greeting, he would have been suspicious for no reason.

“Yes. That’s a monster. No matter how good your stealth skills are, you can get caught at any time, so be careful.”

“… Yes. I will be careful.”

It’s late. Guild leader.

No matter how careful you are, you’ll get caught.

Moreover, I had already been caught and both my body and mind had been altered.

Scarlett lowered her head as she recalled her absurd situation.

Also, to avoid being noticed that the corners of my mouth were slightly raised unintentionally.
