“…….”

Gulp.

Ellis looked straight ahead cautiously.

Ruined factories and residences.

The figure of a centaur standing tall above her came into view.

An intimidating figure and destructive magical power.

Seeing the monster that overwhelmed the entire tracking team with just its radiating force, Ellis felt her body stiffen.

It’s a completely different thing to see a monster you’ve only seen on the screen in front of your eyes.

I could barely withstand the signals that every cell in my body was sending me to run away from, but I couldn’t help but feel my stomach shaking.

At that time, Irene blocked Ellis’ view.

“Uh, sister?”

“Stay still, Ellis. That guy… is a real monster.”

A voice that somehow reassures me.

Irene was generating magical power to somehow protect Ellis.

– [Hmm.]

Fortunately, no fight broke out.

The centaur disappeared according to the manual, and the tracking team relaxed at the same time.

“… situation over. Target has escaped.”

“Whew. What is it? I thought there was a fight going on.”

“I also thought today was the last day.”

“If you get paid, you should work that much, you bastard.”

Sighs of relief and playful comments came out from everywhere.

“Elise. Are you okay?”

“Uh, yes, sister.”

Irene checked Ellis’s condition with worried eyes, and Ellis answered hesitantly.

It was only after the situation was over that I was able to see my sister’s face.

A face that has never shown before, a face that genuinely cares about you.

‘… ‘Didn’t you hate me?’

People show their sincerity in emergency situations.

Ellis, who saw Irene’s sincerity, felt an unfamiliar emotion, but before she could properly think about it, she found a person who jumped out.

“Hey, hey!”

The guild members were also surprised to see Lee Ho-yeon suddenly jumping out.

“Leave it alone.”

“Guild leader! No matter what, such unexpected behavior….”

“This has been agreed upon since Cadet Hoyeon Lee arrived. I entrusted him with the investigation of the centaur.”

“… okay.”

The guild member who had expressed his opinion on Scarlett’s words, who was assisting next to Isaac, also quietly returned to his seat.

“….”

Ellis thought as she looked at Hoyeon Lee’s back.

Even Ellis doesn’t know why he’s looking for the centaur.

He made ridiculous excuses like research, but neither his father nor he believed him.

Because the attitude Hoyeon Lee showed was not for research, but for something more important.

‘… Please do well.’

It didn’t matter what the reason was.

Ellis just hoped that Hoyeon Lee’s wishes would come true.

“… Is this it?”

The place where the centaur disappeared.

There was very little trace of the hell’s mana being disturbed.

– huh. however… It’s difficult to analyze in this state. At least I have to return to my original body. Can I transform now?

“No, no. I’m watching everything from behind.”

I thought about it for a moment, then summoned my magic power.

It was to unite the magic power that was still scattered as we speak.

“You don’t have to analyze it right now.”

– All I have to do is analyze it and put it into the tracking team Rebecca created!

“okay.”

According to Liliana’s words, it means that it is okay to take this magic power and analyze it.

He raised his hand and controlled the magical powers.

The unpleasant magical powers of hell floating in the air.

They were bunched together and made into small beads.

– Uhm. huh. “I think that’s okay.”

“okay.”

I returned to where the tracking team was with a bead that was just the right size for my hand.

what. Everyone is looking at me.

This is why it’s hard to be popular.

“…what are the results?”

Isaac approached me and asked cautiously.

You’re probably a little nervous because of Centaur’s strange behavior today.

“I’ll have to analyze it first to find out… but it’s probably possible.”

“Is that the centaur’s magic power?”

“Yes. This is the material needed to track the location of the centaur.”

“Ho… I understand.”

Isaac nodded while looking at the marble in my hand, and the guild members who were listening to the conversation behind them opened their eyes and whispered.

“Didn’t you just say you were tracking your location?”

“They said he was a genius wizard, so that’s why I brought him here.”

“Everyone, leave the small talk later. As I just heard, if Lee Ho-yeon tracks the location of the centaur, he may fight to subdue it, so be prepared, but for now, let’s go back.”

Clap clap.

Isaac clapped his hands and ordered them to disperse.

*

“W-this…what’s going on?”

Maje Cadish followed to assist the centaur.

He swallowed his saliva as he used his abilities to spy on the conversation of the Iris Guild tracking team.

Their words about tracking down the Apostle.

Even if it wasn’t clear whether it was true or false, there was no reason to tell lies there.

At least that means there is a possibility.

“As expected, there was a reason why Maestro chose me.”

His peeping ability, which prevented magic from being detected, was helpful now.

The caddy thanked the Maestro once more and stood up.

“Lee Ho-yeon… I have to report him. He was such a dangerous guy.”

We could not let the pandemic block our path.

But then.

Cadish felt the magic surrounding him.

Ttogak ttogak-

“This is such a big deal… I can’t leave it alive.”

Cadish turned his head to the sound of a voice coming from behind, and his eyes widened as soon as he saw the red hair.

“… Rebecca. What’s going on?”

“Even if your ability is too good, it’s a problem, right?”

Cadish, feeling that his body was not moving, glared at Rebecca.

It was Rebecca’s patented barrier technique in front of me.

That slightly smiling face was definitely not a joke.

Then there is one conclusion.

“You were a traitor! You piece of trash…! How dare you betray Maestro?!”

“What are you going to do now?”

Crackling-

As Rebecca spoke, the rune barrier surrounding Cadish pressed down like a snake seeking its prey.

“Ugh?!”

“I’m busy too. Let’s finish this quickly. But since we were co-workers at the same workplace, I feel a little sorry.”

“Hey, you slut… turn it off.”

Rebecca went back the way she came, ignoring the terrible sound coming from behind.

“Popular men are so tiring. I wonder if this is a mother’s strength.”

Rebecca felt bothered and headed to Hoyeon Lee’s dorm.

This was really the last time, so I had to make sure it was handled properly.

*

“Hmm. I really don’t know.”

“…Really? I can’t help it.”

I nodded, looking at Liliana who frowned.

I remember what the centaur muttered.

– [Is it a succubus? Now I understand why I was contracted by humans. There was something that attracted me.]

It is confirmed that that succubus is Liliana.

Plus, I said it was a familiar face.

What on earth is the relationship between the two?

I thought as I looked at Liliana staring intently into the centaur’s orb.

Liliana.

‘What is Liliana’s identity in the first place?’

[Women with a high current target potential: Imsol (98 points), Rebecca (93 points), Liliana (85 points), Irene (83 points), Scarlett (70 points), … ]

I checked the list of women who could be made into heroines.

These are the names of women who can be heroines even though they are not from the original game.

If a heroine has 100 points, you can see that you get that many points by converting her importance to the world into points and attacking her.

The higher the influence on the world, the greater the rewards when conquering, and with 98 points, Imsol is almost a heroine. Rebecca, who is as strong as Imsol and Isaac, also had a high score of 93 points.

Irene and Scarlett also have points equal to their influence.

The problem is Liliana.

The score has increased since the last time I checked.

Not a single word appears in the original story, but it scored 85 points, which was an incredibly high score compared to Scarlett, who scored 70 points.

Even compared to the first time, it has become much higher. It seemed as if the score increased as we got closer and closer to Liliana’s secret.

Who would have thought that a contract purchased on the black market could be so important.

“Hoyeon.”

“huh?”

It was Scarlett’s voice that cut off my worries.

“It looks like you’re worried.”

“It’s just. I’m a little worried.”

“Is it because of Liliana?

“yes.”

Liliana was still staring at the beady eyes.

It’s cute, but nothing will come out of something like that.

“…But today was pretty cool.”

“I?”

“Yes. Now, other guild members will no longer ignore Hoenn. Besides….”

Scarlett suddenly closed her mouth.

Maybe he felt her magic.

I said, looking at the red hair appearing out of thin air.

“Rebecca. Are you here?”

“Yeah. How’s your baby’s dad? Hello, your girlfriends too.”

“Hello, Rebecca. I’ll take a moment to prepare a drink.”

Scarlett quickly entered the kitchen.

He’s always like that.

I opened my mouth as I saw Rebecca yawning tiredly.

“I heard you came to assist me. How did you get caught?”

“Hmm, the guild leader was surprisingly strong. I used a small amount of mana on the barrier to directly extract the centaur’s magic, and I was immediately caught.”

“aha….”

“I couldn’t do it in the end, but I still caught the executive next to the centaur.”

“Thank you. As expected, Rebecca.”

no wonder. I heard that Rebecca was caught, so I did something.

It was strange that the Rune Barrier was such a fraud that it was discovered by Isaac during the day rather than at night.

“First of all, what Liliana over there has is the magic power of hell.”

“Uh, thank you. I’ll analyze it with Liliana. Come here, Liliana.”

Rebecca also checked the hellish magic orb that Liliana was holding.

“Huh. But Rebecca, didn’t you buy anything to eat today?”

“I’m sorry. I’ll definitely bring it next time.”

Liliana also seemed to be trying to become friendly with Rebecca after listening to me.

Everyone is so friendly.

okay. It would be great if everyone did that.

I checked my smartwatch.

There was a pile of texts that I didn’t check properly all day, and of course I only responded to the heroines.

However, there was also a message from Professor Lim Sol.

– Professor Lim Sol: How is my student doing? Sorry for the late reply because the research is now over. Sorry.

“What kind of research does this person do every week?”

If you only eat sweets like this, your body will break down.

I shook my head in response.

– Me: Professor. Then my body breaks down.

After a moment, Liliana began making death noises.

“Ugh. My head hurts!”

“What’s wrong? Is it very difficult?”

“This is surprisingly complicated. It will probably take a day or two.”

“Hmm. Really? The time is ambiguous.”

Even if the analysis was completed quickly, time was needed to track and catch the centaur.

Plus, I had to talk to Liliana, so it was no joke.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and from Monday I have to go back to the academy for final exams.

I invested a lot of time through the weekend, but I couldn’t miss the final exam.

Test scores are also quite important.

‘Do I have to give up after coming all this way?’

I really don’t like that.

“I will solve it.”

“Scarlett?”

At that time, Scarlett, who had put down the coffee on the table, smiled slightly.
