“Sounds delicious, Scarlett, doesn’t it?”

“….”

I swallowed my saliva as I looked at the hot soup steaming before my eyes.

“I never knew there was a Korean restaurant in the middle of France. You should have told me sooner.”

“… It’s not a place suitable for escorting women.”

“Why? What’s the difference between pasta and soup?”

“…….”

If pasta is a date course for Koreans, wouldn’t soup be a date course for French people?

In front of Scarlett was my recommended menu item, cheese soft tofu stew.

Actually, I ordered it because I wanted to try it.

There was a lot of cheese on top, so it looked like cheese steamed egg custard, but it looked really delicious as the steam rose.

“Let me just have a bite of soft tofu.”

“… This is my food.”

“Ma! That’s Korean affection. Mmm, it’s delicious.”

“ah….”

I wondered if it was cheese soft tofu, but the taste of the soft tofu and cheese mixing in my mouth was good.

Scarlett looked at me with her mouth open as she watched me eat the soft tofu, and it was very funny because she looked different from usual.

Still, I have to stop teasing you now.

We came to eat together, but I can’t make you sulk.

If this continues, Scarlett might hate Korea.

“Why am I in a place like this while other women are in nice places?”

“Hey, don’t ignore this Korean restaurant. This place even got Michelin recognition.”

“… That’s not what I meant. I just wish it had been a place with a little more atmosphere.”

Scarlett sighed as she ate soft tofu.

“It tastes good, but it’s even more annoying.”

“That’s right. It’s really delicious.”

How is it that eating here tastes better than eating in Korea?

The oily broth was dancing in my mouth.

I think it’s because I went from eating only bread to eating grains of rice every day.

This is the heart of Koreans.

After concentrating on eating for a moment, I opened my mouth first.

“For our next date, I will take you to a more luxurious place, Miss Scarlett.”

“Why are you suddenly using that tone? Besides, I never said this was a date.”

Scarlett shook her head with a stern expression and ate the soft tofu.

Are you doing this because you are dissatisfied with the fact that you came here to eat soup?

If it comes out like that, I also have something to say.

“Why? We are well-liked and all we have to do is step over the line.”

“Kheup! Cough! Cough!”

As soon as Scarlett heard me, she dropped her spoon on the table and started coughing.

I meant to make fun of him, but he reacted so badly that I was worried.

…Was it too harsh?

“Scarlett. Are you okay?”

“Cough. Yes, it’s okay. Where did you get that information? No, I guess there’s only one person. You came to the guild leader’s call yesterday.”

“The guild leader didn’t tell me first. I asked.”

“… I didn’t know that it would be this easy for the world’s Iris Guild to leak information. We need to get rid of it quickly.”

I shielded my future father-in-law, but it was no use.

Scarlett covered her mouth with a napkin as if she was embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.

“As you probably already know, I only did it because it made my mission easier to report like that.”

“Really? That’s a shame.”

“… Don’t push around with me.”

Scarlett clenched her fists in exasperation, and I raised the corners of my mouth and checked Scarlett’s status window.

★ Heroine status window

[Scarlett]

– [Likeability: 80]

– [Liberty: 55]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 50]

Current status: What should I do with this crazy guy… Still, soft tofu is delicious.

‘Every time I see you, I’m so scared on the inside.’

Moreover, these days, it seems like people are increasingly expressing their feelings through words.

We still have a superior relationship, but it seems like people are forgetting about it.

“Anyway, let’s eat quickly.”

“Okay. Oh, can I have another bite? That’s delicious.”

“… Yes. Eat a lot.”

Scarlett seemed to have given up and didn’t stop my spoon from heading towards the soft tofu.

*

The meal was satisfactory.

Scarlett also seemed satisfied with the taste of the food itself.

“it was tasty.”

“It certainly is.”

After leaving the restaurant, we walked towards Iris Guild.

“Where should we go next time?”

“…Suddenly?”

“Yeah. You don’t like it?”

“That’s not true, but Liliana might not like it if you take me alone.”

“What are you talking about? You didn’t say you wanted to go alone.”

“….”

“I’m sorry. It was a joke.”

I was scared that Scarlett would look at me like I was trash, so I immediately apologized.

There’s nothing to see so brutally. what’s the matter.

“But it’s fun to hang out with me. We can go play together.”

“Sigh… Such things are usually led by men. Once you push hard, most people will allow it unless they really hate it. You really don’t know how women feel.”

“I am a gender egalitarian. Sometimes women can take the lead.”

“How many women does a man like that have around?”

“……”

I had a lot to say in response, but I quickly ran out of things to say.

As expected, Scarlett is a strong enemy.

“Well, maybe women are clinging to Hoenn because even though he seems to be good at it, he’s still clumsy at it.”

“Yes, that’s right….”

Sigh-

I was trying to joke that that was my charm, but I got goosebumps all over my body.

‘what.’

I was surprised.

I quickly unleashed my magic.

And in the alley in front of me, I found Irene sticking out her face while using the stealth spell.

“…Scarlett.”

“Yes. But why are you suddenly lowering your voice?”

“You follow suit too. Irene is watching from afar now.”

“Miss Irene? …Aren’t you teasing me again?”

Scarlett lowered her voice even though she doubted me.

She also checked the surroundings with her own magic, but it seemed like she couldn’t find it.

“Yes. I think he is watching me. He has been looking at me since the last sortie.”

“Hmm, I haven’t seen her like that often. She has a very cool image.”

“It’s clear. He’s keeping me in check. I think it’s probably because of Ellis.”

“Miss Ellis?”

“… It’s a long explanation, but there’s something like that.”

Scarlett frowned upon hearing what I said, then continued.

“Hmm… Now that I think about it, I remember hearing something like that. Before I joined the Iris guild, a guild member said, ‘Young Ellis is so cute,’ and then he was taken away by Irene and submitted his resignation the next day.”

“That’s a ghost story, that’s fact.”

“I’m not sure if it’s authentic or not.”

Maybe it’s a fact.

It’s not that Irene has a bad image, but there’s no way such a ghost story would occur.

“…Anyway, go ahead. If you keep staying here, sparks will fly on you too.”

“I understand. I had a good meal today.”

Scarlett bowed her head to me and disappeared behind her.

I just walked forward, and Irene followed behind me.

‘What should I do with that?’

I don’t know why he cares so much about me, but I’m sure it’s probably because of Ellis.

The problem is, how can I be sure of my relationship with Ellis and pursue her like that?

I remembered what Scarlett said.

‘jealousy… .’

Make me jealous.

What can be gained by causing jealousy through a relationship with Ellis?

Clearly, Irene’s score was 83 points.

If you attack, you can get quite a lot of points.

But is it possible to attack someone out of jealousy?

‘I’ll give it a try first.’

It doesn’t seem like he likes me anyway, so there’s nothing to lose by doing it.

If you don’t like it, you have no choice but to cut it.

The guild member earlier was dragged away and resigned and all, but they can’t do that to me.

Because I am an important person to Ellis and the Iris Guild.

After thinking about it, I turned around and walked behind the sign where Irene was hiding.

Then, I looked at Irene who was right behind the sign and spoke to her.

“What are you doing?”

Irene, who was shocked and startled when I spoke to her, immediately made eye contact with me.

“… What are you doing?”

“I didn’t have anyone to eat with, so I came here to eat with Scarlett. Irene was following me around, so I was curious about her intentions.”

“….”

Irene must also be in a very ambiguous situation.

You don’t like the idea of me hanging out with a girl other than Ellis, but I guess you don’t want to admit my relationship with Alice either.

I expected him to get angry and attack me right away, but he was surprisingly patient.

If this happens, the plan will be scrapped.

There is no need to scrape and make crumbs.

“If you have nothing to say, I’ll just leave.”

“Now, just a moment.”

At that time, Irene grabbed my shoulder as I was about to turn.

“… under.”

Ellis woke up on Sunday morning and laughed as he watched the news.

– [Real situation] “Korea has no talent.” Japan and China ignored Korea. An incident where a representative of the French government provided true education in one word?!

– [Foreign Press News] Live interview with Lee Ho-yeon. The reason why foreign reporters and media went crazy at the same time with his single eye smile.

– [Official] “In the end, Lee Ho-yeon is the future.” The centaur that the French government eventually gave up on! Currently, all of Europe is crazy about Korea’s genius wizard. Overseas reaction.

– [Real News] The reason why the whole world was surprised and praised Korea by the ‘one word’ that the BCH anchor said during the briefing on Korea’s genius wizard.

– Korean genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s mad movie reaction as seen by foreigners! [Overseas reaction][reaction][Foreigners’ actual reaction]

“What is this? Haha.”

Ellis, who was checking the community’s reaction, gulped down a cup of coffee to relieve the headache he felt.

As soon as Ellis woke up in the morning and saw the article that Lee Ho-yeon had received a favor from the French government, she asked Sebastian about the truth.

‘It appears that an agreement has been reached between the guild leader and cadet Lee Ho-yeon. I also received it today.’

And Ellis was not in that agreement.

She didn’t have the ability to attack centaurs, so it was natural.

“… I have to go take the exam.”

Ellis was due to return home tomorrow.

Of course, I thought I would go with Hoyeon Lee, but the itinerary turned out to be different from what I had expected.

“….”

Ellis, who had already finished drinking her hot coffee, eventually picked up her smartwatch.

It’s not like it’s a big deal if we don’t go together, but for some reason, I felt bad.

Would you say it’s a woman’s sense?

It seemed like something big was going to happen in France.

Whether it was her experience or her relationship with Lee Ho-yeon, it seemed like something big was about to change.

“Whew… I can’t help it. Just a moment. Just a moment.”

Ellis picked up her smartwatch and made a call.

– Yes?! my daughter What happened this morning?

Dad’s familiar voice.

This person always reacts like this when I call.

Huh-

Elise, who had cleared her throat so as not to be heard on the phone, twisted her tongue as much as possible.

“…Apang. What are you doing?”

“No, that’s not it….”

“Elise also wants to be in France….”

Pop-

“… Wow.”

After a while.

Ellis threw herself on the bed, rolling over and burying her hot face in the pillow.
