A cafe near the academy. Nakwol (落)

It was a cafe popular with women with its cute interior.

The exact center of Nakwol’s first floor.

Twins Lucy and Rumi were sitting.

The women sat with their shoulders close together and chatted.

“Rumi. This is so cool.”

“Yes. Take a bite of mine too, Lucy.”

The twins sitting side by side in the corner of the cafe shared each other’s drinks and laughed.

Those actions alone filled the cafe with a warm atmosphere, but they didn’t pay attention to their surroundings.

“Ugh. This is so bitter I can’t eat it.”

Lucy squinted as soon as she drank her coffee.

The coffee was too bitter for her

“Do you use it that much?”

“Yes. I like this as expected.”

Lucy quickly sipped her latte to get rid of the bitter taste.

When the sweet taste lingered in my mouth, I felt relieved.

“Rumi. What we’re doing this time will take a long time, right?”

Lucy muttered without thinking while sucking on her latte.

“Hoyeon said it would take as long as a week. Uhm….”

The reason why Lucy and Rumi are sitting in a cafe.

This is because this cafe is the meeting place for the people who will destroy the black pillar.

“But can we destroy the black pillar? I heard on the news that we shouldn’t do it.”

“Hoyeon explained everything, but Lucy didn’t listen. And he told me not to pay attention to the news.”

“Aha. I think I remember.”

Lucy looked back on her memories and thought, “Aha.” He nodded.

When Lee Ho-yeon asked for help, I said I would understand without even listening, but now that I think about it, I think I heard that kind of explanation.

Tiring-

At that time, a woman walked into the cafe.

Nam Da-eun looked around to find a familiar face and soon found the twins and approached them.

“Hey guys.”

“Huh? Da-eun!”

“Miss Daeun. Hello.”

After saying hello to Lucy and Rumi, Nam Da-eun went to the counter and ordered drinks.

The menu is peach iced tea.

When I returned to my seat with drinks, Lucy and Rumi came up to me.

“Iced tea? I like that too. It’s easy to drink straight.

“Miss Da-eun, don’t you drink bitter things like Lucy?”

“Uh, right.”

Nam Da-eun smiled.

Actually, I don’t know much about the taste or texture.

I just chose iced tea because it was cheap.

Lee Ho-yeon always tells her to spend money however she wants, but Nam Da-eun is always like this.

The memory of eating water instead of dinner in the dormitory still remains in her heart, and her habits of saving and saving did not change even if she tried to change them.

Although I tend to spend money when playing with Dahee, I feel comfortable saving money when I’m alone.

“They sell that at the cafe here too. Claire… what was it?”

“Lucy, are you talking about Claire Rose Latte?”

“Oh, that’s right. That one. It’s a drink that no one drinks because it’s so tasteless, but strangely they say it’s always on the menu.”

Nam Da-eun sat down in her chair while watching the twins talking.

Lucy and Rumi talk to each other even when they are quiet, so you feel at ease when they are together.

“That’s right, Da-eun. They say the academy will return to normal soon. Let’s take the next class together.”

“Okay, I get it.”

Nam Da-eun responded to Lucy and continued the conversation naturally.

As we were chatting to each other, I felt footsteps coming towards me.

“Guys. It’s been a while. I guess Professor Lim Sol hasn’t arrived yet?”

“Ah, student council president!”

“Student President. Hello…!”

“hello.”

Nod.

Moon Su-rin waved her hand as she looked at the three people lowering their heads.

This awkward atmosphere is the one she hates the most.

“Don’t say hello like that because it’s embarrassing. Oh, is it okay if I sit down too?”

Moon Su-rin sat leisurely and drank a drink.

It’s been a while since I took a sip of the Claire Rose latte sold at this cafe, and I felt like my head was refreshed.

Lucy and Rumi were excited when they saw Claire Rose Latte, but Su-rin Moon didn’t care.

Lately, she has been feeling relaxed.

As Lee Ho-yeon said, a professional manager was hired, and his father, who was feeling better, returned to work.

As her father took care of her grandfather, who was lying in a hospital bed, and took care of all the chores, Moon Su-rin had almost nothing to do.

I should have done this a long time ago. I thought about it, but what I was more worried about was my father.

‘… ‘You must be doing a good job.’

Naturally, I have no intention of forgiving my father’s sin of becoming a Mine just because he made me work at the academy.

But after having a proper conversation with my father, I couldn’t think of him as anyone else.

I will make him live in atonement for the rest of his life, and I intend to watch over it right next to him.

“Student President. But you’re not doing student council work today?”

While Rumi and Nam Da-eun just watched, it was Lucy who spoke first.

Lucy found it fascinating that the student council president, who always seemed busy, was able to destroy the black pillar.

“Yes. I have a lot of work to do these days. It won’t interfere with my plans, so don’t worry.”

The reason my father returned to work was to provide time to destroy the black pillar.

No matter how professional a manager is, if he were to leave the academy altogether, he would need someone to fill the empty spot.

“Now that you think about it, how well can Miss Lucy and Miss Rumi handle the magic of hell?”

“We learned a little from Professor Lim Sol.”

“True… but I’m not very good at it yet.”

“Hmm. I see. Still, we can carry out the plan. What about Miss Da-eun?”

“Oh… well, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Moon Su-rin joined the conversation as if she was originally here.

Although the conversation was with first-year students who were younger than me, I was able to continue the conversation naturally because I had a lot of experience with this.

We were chatting for a few minutes, and something strange occurred.

Su-rin Moon said while looking at the smartwatch.

“By the way, when is the professor coming?”

“I don’t know. It’s past the appointed time, but….”

“You even responded yesterday, so let’s wait a little longer.”

Moon Su-rin looked around.

You need Im Sol to make a plan and move, but Professor Lim Sol, who is the key to the plan, was nowhere to be seen.

at that time.

Tiring-

Im Sol, who opened the cafe, slowly appeared.

Imsol caught everyone’s attention as soon as she appeared at the cafe.

Lim Sol confidently walked inside and looked at them and said hello.

“I’m sorry I’m late. Magic research is a little late. Shall we go to the site right away?”

Even though he was Imsol, it didn’t mean he had no concept of time.

I have an important appointment in the afternoon, but I can’t stop researching magic.

The reason she was late for her appointment was because she had to choose an outfit.

Lee Ho-yeon’s comment without much thought, asking if she always wears those clothes.

After he returned, Imsol thought about it carefully and realized.

The women I met today were all close to Lee Ho-yeon.

However, the fact that Imsol, who leads them, wore sweats picked up from home was something that could easily be ignored.

That’s why I thought and thought about what to wear today.

In the end, Imsol came wearing the suit he wore when he went to the wizarding conference.

It was an outfit that Lee Ho-yeon praised as cool.

“Yes. We don’t have time, so let’s go right away, Professor.”

“Professor. We’re ready too!”

But none of them paid attention to Imsol’s clothes.

Because they weren’t the type of people to point out whether Imsol was wearing a pink T-shirt or a suit.

Lee Ho-yeon was the only one who cared about her outfit.

“… Okay.”

Imsol blinked as he watched the women rushing out of the cafe.

It took so long to choose this outfit, but I can’t believe I finally got this reaction.

‘I thought I would look at my teacher with more respect… .’

Im Sol helplessly followed Moon Su-rin.

*

American airport.

The noisy sounds of people talking and the sounds of machines coming from everywhere.

You hear an announcement that is difficult to understand, and the scent of perfume worn by people fills your nose.

I walked while using the rune barrier and keeping my distance from people.

I passed through the airport’s arrival gate for the first time in a long time, passing among people busily moving around looking for a place to go.

‘The last time I came here with Sol, there were so many people that I couldn’t move.’

At that time, there were a lot more people because of the wizard society.

There were noticeably fewer people today compared to that day.

“The flight is canceled. What do you mean?”

“It is said that an unidentified monster is flying around the air route. For safety reasons….”

“What do you mean! Then what about my meeting?!”

I was wondering why there were no people, but now I think I understand.

This is not something I would say, as I just got on a plane, but it is absurd to get on a plane when the gates of hell have opened.

Instead of using a designated air route, you must use a private plane to avoid the monster.

‘anyway… Where was the meeting place? Is it there?’

I was walking to the meeting place he had taken to meet President Arthur.

Since it was my first time coming to this place, I was confused about the geography, but it was worth the walk as I followed my smart watch.

Plus, it was fun to look around.

Family travelers with young children.

A woman clutching her passport tightly, as if she was anxious about something.

A boy stomping his feet while looking at his smart watch nervously.

It was quite fun to see new scenery in other countries, but people-watching was the most fun.

Even if it wasn’t a big deal, everyday life had value to me.

Because it motivates me to work a little harder.

“Are we here?”

A cafe attached to a hotel near the airport.

It was the place where I first met President Arthur.

I peeked inside through the outside window.

‘There it is.’

A tall-looking middle-aged man was sitting in the corner of the cafe.

He must have eaten a lot of good food because his expression is better than when I saw him before.

He noticed the gaze and recognized this direction, then waved his hand and smiled.

Huh.

I packed my subspace bag again, smiled awkwardly, and went inside.

The magical energy felt inside the cafe.

Association President Arthur had already set up a barrier and was waiting.

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! No, I should call him Lee Ho-yeon the wizard. Even though I haven’t seen him for a long time, his magical power has become stronger than before.”

“My face gets hot when the president says that.”

I bowed slightly and sat across from President Arthur.

It was a bit awkward to watch it alone, rather than with Professor Lim Sol.

“I was worried because there was a lot of bad talk these days, but it seems like he doesn’t care either.”

“When you become famous, there are a lot of bad things to say. Just like the president of the association.”

“Haha. As expected, we have something in common with you. As I said last time, you can treat me comfortably and think of me as your older brother.”

“… Yes, Chairman of the Association.”

With that one word, the atmosphere became extremely uncomfortable.

Why don’t you guys know that?

“Hmm. Anyway, I came here because I wanted to ask for help.”

“Yes. I heard about it from Sol. It was about the magical power of hell, right?”

“Yes. But before that, there is one thing I must do, Mr. Association President.”

“Huh? It’s something you have to do?”

“Please give me your hand for a moment.”

Maestro’s brainwashing has spread to high-ranking officials.

It is unlikely that the president has been brainwashed, but we should still check.
