Chapter Index

    Even though I sent a message, there was no reply.

    Hoyeon Lee shut down the smartwatch and lowered her head to look at the note.

    “I wanted to see Ellis and Irene too. Sigh.”

    After the battle with Lucifer, Lee Ho-yeon visited the heroines and confessed the truth.

    He planned to apologize to the heroines, whether by slapping them in the face or kneeling down, but their love was much stronger than Ho-yeon Lee thought.

    It was a clear motivation for Lee Ho-yeon, who had to protect this world and its heroines.

    “I guess I was really out of my mind… but this somehow worked out.”

    When I think about what Lee Ho-yeon did now, it seems very absurd. How funny must it have been that he suddenly went to see me and confessed that he had done it all.

    The reason why it went down so easily was because the heroines cared about Lee Ho-yeon.

    And this is because everyone knows that the foundation is the ‘curse’ placed on Lee Ho-yeon.

    ‘Things went well because of that… .’

    The word ‘curse’ bothers me.

    Because Lee Ho-yeon doesn’t meet heroines because of a curse.

    If there is any misunderstanding… .

    “Another useless idea.”

    Hoyeon Lee shook her head and erased the useless thoughts from her head.

    Normally, I would have been buried in these negative thoughts, but today I quickly cut them off.

    I guess it’s because I felt a little better after meeting the heroines in person.

    “My mentality was so weak.”

    I lived my life thinking I was a real man, but I was such a loser.

    In addition to having nightmares, it was quite difficult to suppress my clear mental abilities.

    Tsk.

    Lee Ho-yeon clicked his tongue and looked around, then nodded at the medicine bags lying around.

    “That’s right. I need to take the medicine Ayoung gave me.”

    Hoyeon Lee opened the medicine bag that was on the desk and put it into her mouth.

    Since I was told to take it once a day without saying anything, like 30 minutes after a meal, it was probably a vitamin or something.

    Let’s eat it now before we forget.

    Hoyeon Lee put the medicine bag into her mouth. Somehow, I feel like my head is working better.

    “Okay. First thing to do is….”

    – You must go to the Iris Guild.

    First, you need to contact the Iris Guild.

    I have some things to ask for help with the black pillar, and some things to ask Chiron and Albedo.

    ‘It would be nice to have Alice and Irene too.’

    If I’m lucky, I might be able to hear about Ellis and Irene.

    widely-

    Lee Ho-yeon closed the notebook, stretched once again, and stood up.

    I sent a message to Scarlett with my smartwatch, still receiving no response.

    – Me: Scarlett. busy?

    I guess I should at least research magic until I get a reply.

    Looking back on my memories of sparring with Im Sol… .

    Tiring-

    – Scarlett: Yes.

    “What is this?”

    The smart watch screen just says ‘Yes.’ Only one letter is floating.

    I waited for a while, but the message ended there.

    Did they send it to you in a hurry while you were busy?

    – Me: Please contact me when you are free. I want to visit the Iris Guild for work.

    Tiring-

    – Scarlett: What are you going to Iris Guild for? And I am no longer a member of the Iris guild. Why are you asking me such a favor when you are currently dating the two daughters of the Iris Guild?

    “… I don’t think he’s busy.”

    Lee Ho-yeon looked at the smartwatch that immediately rang and laughed.

    Scarlett is an elite who has been recognized since she was in the Iris Guild. If she was really busy, she would have focused on work instead of replying.

    Plus, those useless nobles.

    You can even wear it on your wrist at your leisure.

    – Me: Scarlett. If you’re not busy, please help me. I have to go to Iris Guild, but why go alone? You know I trust you.

    Actually, it is not my first visit.

    Last time, I went to the Iris Guild under the pretext of job experience.

    But this time the story is different.

    The means of transportation used at that time was Ellis’ private plane.

    In other words, Hoyeon Lee doesn’t know how to get to Iris Guild.

    With Sister Irene Ellis out of contact, Scarlett was the only one who could help him.

    “Why is there no reply all of a sudden?”

    Did he go back to work because he seemed bothered?

    Well, I’m a little disappointed.

    smart.

    “Okay. Come in.”

    “It’s been a long time, Hoenn.”

    “I saw you yesterday, so it hasn’t been that long.”

    Hoyeon Lee sighed as he saw Scarlett entering the room.

    From the moment I heard a knock on the door, I knew it was Scarlett.

    okay. You came after work.

    I was played by Scarlett again.

    “Why do you want to go to the Iris Guild?”

    “I have some research to do. Please sit down because I have a lot to tell you.”

    There is no need to hide it.

    Hoyeon Lee also shared information with Scarlett, just as she told Rebecca.

    After hearing the information about the magic power of Hell, Scarlet crossed her arms and pondered.

    “It’s the magic power of hell. I thought it was a little strange too, but… I didn’t know it was that big of a scale.”

    As expected, Scarlett doesn’t seem to know either.

    Even though there was a hint that it was Liliana and Lee Ho-yeon, I couldn’t believe it was strange.

    ‘I don’t think even the people of Iris could feel this. … No, didn’t they say they work in the training room to help guild members?’

    If we move together in the training room, we will naturally encounter the magic power of hell.

    I thought about it for a while, but I think it would be much faster to see it in person.

    “Tsk. Anyway, I want to go to the Iris Guild. Can you go with me?”

    “I don’t know why you’re working so hard, but if Hoenn asks you to help, you should move.”

    “Thank you, Scarlett. I want to go as soon as possible. When do you want to go?”

    “Let’s go right away.”

    “Right now?”

    “Yes. Wake up.”

    “Just a moment. Just a moment Scarlett.”

    I immediately caught Scarlett leaving the room with the intention of boarding the plane.

    “Still, I have to say hello and go. Liliana and Da-eun aren’t home.”

    “I just need to get the job done quickly and then come back, so what does it matter?”

    “No… Considering the time it takes to get to the airport and the flight, I don’t think it would be difficult to come within today?”

    “You don’t have to worry about the plane.”

    [Baby dad! Ouch! What is that!]

    Rebecca’s screams can be heard outside the door.

    Hoyeon Lee quickly ran outside.

    Hudududududu-

    A huge shadow fills the needlessly large yard.

    When I looked up, I saw a small airplane approaching the yard.

    The plane containing magic landed cleanly, and Scarlett seemed familiar as she approached the plane and opened the door.

    “Let’s get in.”

    “Hey. I heard you’re not a member of the Iris guild.”

    Hoyeon Lee looked at Scarlett with her hands on her waist.

    This plane remains clearly in his memory.

    It was the plane I took when I went to the Iris Guild with Ellis.

    “I’m not a member of the Iris guild, but I can at least borrow a plane.”

    “What kind of bullshit is that….”

    “I’m so good at social life that I still have connections.”

    While talking to Scarlett, I felt a soft touch on my right arm.

    Rebecca came over and crossed her arms.

    “Baby dad. What is this? You’re surprised.”

    “I’m sorry, Rebecca, but this is my first time seeing you too.”

    “Are you leaving right away? I guess the schedule is tighter than I thought.”

    “… That’s how it is from now on. Please tell me when Liliana and Da-eun come. I will come by tomorrow at the latest.”

    I’ll send you a message, but I’ll also have to ask Rebecca for a favor.

    “Okay, baby daddy. You have to come quickly.”

    Lee Ho-yeon, lightly brushing her red hair, followed Scarlett onto the plane.

    *

    “We’ve arrived, Scarlett. Get down now.”

    “Thank you, Victor.”

    “From next time, please don’t call me on holidays. … And can I assume that you have a similar relationship with the person next to you?”

    “If it’s sexual harassment, I’ll file a complaint. Don’t you know the personality of the guild’s legal team, S&N?”

    “It’s still chilly. Ah, Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. It was really nice to meet you. I was so impressed by the core techniques of magic and the secrets of the Great Magic Dictionary that you presented at the Wizard’s Society that I wanted to see them someday, and thanks to Scarlett, I got this great opportunity. ”

    “Ah, yes. It would be an honor if you said that.”

    I bowed my head slightly and shook the hand of a man named Victor.

    Although it looked like an airplane, this aircraft was actually like a magic tool.

    The driver was just preparing for any possible accident and did not drive himself, so we chatted a bit on the way.

    He seemed to be a wizard, so I told him a few words about magic and he was very happy, which made me proud.

    “I’ll go now, Victor. I’ll contact you later if anything happens.”

    “Yes. I wondered what she was thinking when she ran away from the Iris guild, but if her lover is the world’s greatest wizard, I will also beat up the guild.”

    “Hmm.”

    Hoyeon Lee cleared her throat and raised the corners of her mouth.

    That guy has a talent for flattery. Self-esteem goes up.

    “Since when has the Iris Guild cared so much about men’s romantic lives?”

    “I’m sorry. I’m out on holiday, so please take a look.”

    “Tsk. Isn’t it okay not to contact you during holidays? Anyway, thank you. Now, let’s not see each other again.”

    Hoyeon Lee smiled as she looked at Scarlett, who looked uncomfortable.

    Normally, he wouldn’t have let another man make fun of Scarlett, but he didn’t point it out because he showed respect for Lee Ho-yeon, as well as coming out to help Scarlett on the holiday.

    Rather, it was fun to see Scarlett, who always bullied him, being bullied.

    She also seems to be feeling guilty for inviting Victor over on holiday.

    “Scarlett. Is this place different from the last time you went?”

    “Because I came with Miss Ellis at that time.”

    After getting off the plane.

    Lee Ho-yeon looked around the forest he had never seen before.

    I thought I would get off at the Iris Guild site, but I was a little confused because I got off in the middle of the forest.

    “Last time, it was an official Academy event and Lady Ellis was there, so we headed straight to the Iris Guild premises, but normally, you have to enter a password here.”

    “Is there such a thing?”

    “Of course. The Iris Guild is the world’s best information guild. If you go onto the site without prior permission, you don’t know what will happen.”

    That’s what I heard.

    It would be even stranger for a dog or a cow to land on the Iris site.

    In the case of Lee Ho-yeon, it was a sudden visit.

    “Okay. Let’s go. Take the lead.”

    “Yes. Let’s go.”

    After going deeper into the forest for a few minutes, I could not see any sunlight due to the dense trees overhead.

    Scarlett, who was walking ahead, glanced behind her.

    “why?”

    Lee Ho-yeon, who was looking around nervously, tilted her head when her eyes met.

    When I look at that face, the corners of my mouth turn up without me realizing it.

    “Until a few days ago, you looked dead-eyed, but today you seem to be in a good mood. It seems like things have changed since the battle with Lucifer, so maybe you’re a battle fanatic who is excited about the battle.”

    “It’s not like that. I hate fighting the most in the world.”

    “It’s nice to see that it looks like they’ve got their old guns back.”

    “Thanks to you, Scarlett.”

    There needs to be someone like Scarlett who throws fastballs so that people like me can come to their senses.

    When I’m serious, I say it in a playful way, and when I need to pull myself together, I say it seriously.

    “I think it’s thanks to me too.”

    Scarlett nodded and started walking forward again.

    ‘what the.’

    Still, it’s cute like that.

    Ho-yeon Lee increased his speed as he watched Scarlett running ahead.

    After about ten minutes more, the flow of magical energy changed slightly.

    At the same time, Scarlett stopped walking. There seems to be a place around here where you can say passwords.

    “Just in case, let’s open a rune barrier.”

    “The barrier was unfolding.”

    “It means spreading it out even stronger. In fact, there is a small possibility that it can be attacked without a password.”

    “What bullshit is that?”

    Hoyeon Lee was surprised to hear Scarlett’s words.

    What if I come here and say something like that?

    “Each Iris guild member is given a password. When they return from a mission, they enter the password here, verify their identity, and use the warp gate to enter the guild.”

    “But what’s the problem?”

    “Because I am a member of the guild who left, my password has probably been deleted from the database.”

    “…….”

    After hearing Scarlett’s words, Lee Ho-yeon thought for a while.

    He grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently.

    “Hey. Then why did you come here? Huh? Are you kidding?”

    “It’s okay. I have an idea.”

    “What is it? Tell me.”

    “The Iris guild members are also human. Even though I look like this, my image in the guild was quite good. I was an elite and everyone was friendly. So, if it were me, they would accept me.”

    “…Are you serious? Is that the best?”

    “Let’s go.”

    Hoyeon Lee frowned as he watched Scarlett walking confidently, then sighed and followed behind her.

    She might have something on her mind too. Scarlett is not someone like Liliana who moves without thinking.

    Of course, I didn’t forget to pour my magic into the rune barrier.
