The world has changed rapidly since the creation of gates and dungeons.

New monsters appeared every day, and someone with the qualities of a hunter appeared to hunt them.

Monsters that could tear humans apart with a single wave were objects of fear, but humans eventually adapted to gates and dungeons.

Such a long time has passed.

Now dungeons and gates have completely integrated into society and are being recorded in human history.

Science has advanced remarkably along with magic.

Materials and abilities that did not exist on Earth.

The world has faced upheaval.

However, the lives of ordinary people other than hunters did not change much.

Not everyone has enjoyed social change and development.

Most people lived similar lives as before the monsters appeared.

Even when news about the gates of hell and the devil poured in, the general public’s reaction was the same.

– Another monster has appeared.

That was how the average person felt about the gates of hell.

The darkness covering the Pacific Ocean was certainly abnormal, and there were many strange phenomena, but society was not paralyzed by a crisis that was not yet clear.

In other words, society was still working hard.

Students go to academy.

Office workers who go to work in the morning leave work in the evening, and housewives go to the supermarket to shop.

The world hasn’t changed.

Therefore, no one suspected that some people who finished their day’s work would go into the alley.

“Arma de maestro.”

“Go in.”

People who came through the winding alleys entered the rusty iron gate.

As people entered the building, they lost focus and moved around in a daze.

“Maestro. What would you like to do with the meeting?”

“Proceed on your own.”

“All right.”

The man dismissed his subordinate and looked around.

A man with tired, droopy eyes and sunken pupils.

He was looking down blankly.

Believers under the name of Satanism.

They came to the meeting not knowing what they were going to do.

There are still not many people who know the existence of the Satanic Cult.

This is because the Maestro did not move properly.

In fact, it was not he who gave it the name Devil Cult.

Before I knew it, believers had been calling me that.

Now the Maestro was thinking about his own existence.

“It’s a thought that goes against fate….”

It is his destiny to bring down the devil to destroy the world.

The gates of hell were opened, the descent of the Demon King was confirmed, and the path to destruction for this world was already set.

So what should you do now?

At some point, his prayers stopped reaching the devil.

It was the same even after the gates of hell were opened.

Demons with overwhelming power paid no attention to the Maestro.

There was nothing he could do at the gates of hell.

In the end, he returned to the human world and created a demonic religion to help with the coming of the Demon King, but the Maestro was not confident in his actions.

If you don’t do anything, you only act to hold on to your spirit, which will break down.

Again and again.

At that time, the sound of approaching footsteps broke the Maestro from his thoughts.

This is a place where you cannot enter without permission from the Maestro.

It was definitely strange to hear footsteps.

“you are….”

Maestro saw the woman approaching and narrowed his eyes.

A creature from hell that I encountered several times when I was near the gates of hell.

She was a succubus queen who controlled demons and was called the devil’s agent.

“Can I call you Isabella? What brought you here?”

“Do as you wish, human.”

Isabella walked naturally and stood in front of the Maestro.

The Succubus Queen also doesn’t have much interest in the human in front of her.

“The human who killed Karkus. You know that, right?”

However, I know that this man knows the human world well.

Because Isabella didn’t know much about this world yet.

“Yes. I know.”

“I thought so. Hand over the information about that person.”

We need to find Liliana next to that human.

Even now, magic power is being spread all over the world, but it would be easier to find if there was certain information.

“… Is that the Demon King’s order?”

“What does that matter?”

“We cannot do anything that will interfere with the Demon Lord’s descent.”

“Tsk.”

Isabella sneered without realizing it.

Isabella is also aware of this human’s abnormal loyalty to the Demon Lord.

However, the current Demon King will not be the Demon King he knows.

“He is no longer the Demon Lord you knew.”

The devil who rules hell.

At some point, he became a different being.

You wouldn’t know it unless you looked closely, but Isabella felt that strangeness.

The Maestro was not surprised when he heard Isabella’s words.

No, I didn’t doubt it.

There is only one Demon Lord for me.

“… But my job remains the same.”

The Maestro already had no way to return.

*

The strongest barrier magic, the barrier of runes.

The Rune Barrier, which can only be used by the Rune clan, is a magic that can theoretically do anything.

In fact, Rebecca solves all battles using only rune barriers.

However, Hoyeon Lee only used the rune barrier for space control or defense.

The attack magic was sufficient, and the best use of the rune barrier was ultimately defense.

Kwaang-!

Space.

The sword cutting through Nam Da-eun’s space struck the rune barrier.

“Big…!”

Lee Ho-yeon was surprised and concentrated her magic.

Nam Da-eun’s slash was sharp and hard, but it was different from Karkus’ attack.

A sword that does not simply attack physically, but interferes with space.

If you don’t concentrate all your attention, you won’t be able to block it properly.

“Baby dad. I’m not strange, am I? Da-eun’s sword was too heavy.”

“That’s right. I think it would be difficult if I were asked to only defend myself…!”

I answered Rebecca’s words by focusing my eyes on the front.

What if they used blood beats and future predictions?

It was difficult to block Nam Da-eun’s attack with just the magic shield and the rune barrier.

Of course, this is because Lee Ho-yeon only focused on defense.

If you counterattack, you can penetrate into the space gap.

“But when I looked at the baby’s father’s barrier, I felt something.”

“Just this much? But my barrier is even stronger because of the Demon Sky Palace.”

“No. In the end, the fundamentals are the same. And I’m from Rune’s clan. Just because I don’t have the Demon Heavenly Palace, it doesn’t make sense that I can’t use the barrier better than my baby’s father.”

“I’m glad it helped. Then I’ll take a little rest.”

“Yes. Thank you, baby daddy. Miss Da-eun! It’s sparring again!”

“Well, I want to rest a little too… Oh, how about doing it with Scarlett?”

“… Is that so? Miss Scarlett!”

“Wait a minute, Rebecca!”

Rebecca turned and ran towards Scarlett, and Nam Da-eun breathed a sigh of relief.

Ho-yeon Lee extended her hand to Da-eun Nam.

“Good. Let’s go rest together.”

“Yes, Hoyeon.”

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon came out of the training ground, she laid down on the bench.

It’s not a good habit to lie down every chance you get, but what can you do when it’s difficult?

“I was just going to look at magic for a moment, but I ended up using the Magic Heavenly Palace. Why does everyone like actual combat so much?”

A mild headache surrounds my head.

I came down to see Dalian for a moment and even spent time at Macheon Palace.

It was a huge improvement compared to when I first used the Demon Heavenly Palace, but I still felt a headache.

“Hoyeon. …I’ll wipe your sweat.”

“It’s okay because I have clean.”

“Uh, really…?”

As I slowly turned my head, I saw Nam Da-eun standing hesitantly, holding a handkerchief.

Only then did Hoyeon Lee speak again.

“…Now that I think about it, even if I use Clean, my body is hot and I keep sweating. I’m sorry, but can I ask you a favor?”

“of course….”

In the end, I decided to cool off by receiving Nam Da-eun’s lap pillow.

The feel of the handkerchief sweeping my forehead wasn’t bad.

‘… He seems like a very pathetic man.’

Lying on his girlfriend’s thighs and receiving care does not suit the manly Lee Ho-yeon.

But it felt good, so I didn’t bother to stop it.

“Hoyeon. What are you doing this afternoon?”

“I heard that Ellis is coming back, so I’m going next door. I have something to say to the Iris Guild.”

“aha….”

“Do you want to hang out with Dahee? I’m sorry I’m busy these days.”

“No. Dahee was really surprised when Hoyeon said she got hurt while fighting a demon. I’m sure she understands that. But at times like this, I feel good because I’m with Hoyeon.”

“….”

“I can’t help Hoyeon like Ellis… so I have to work hard at things like this.”

I feel affection for Nam Da-eun’s hands wiping away my sweat.

Even though we spend as much time as possible on the heroines, everyone feels disappointed.

Should I shorten my sleeping time?

“Da-eun, don’t say that and don’t worry about it. The Iris Guild is making a lot of money because of me and paying off the debt.”

“But I owe a lot, right?”

“…Well, you just have to pay it back slowly.”

Nam Da-eun smiled slightly.

That look is so cute that I want to hug it tightly.

In fact, every time I see her like this, I want to attack her and tell her to make amends with my body, but I can make time for her tonight with Nam Da-eun, who lives with me.

If you do it once, it will take you a few hours, but it takes a few hours to kill 100 monsters.

And even if you don’t have to catch the monster, there’s a lot of work to be done.

“Miss Daeun! Miss Scarlett, your next opponent is you!”

“Me? Hoyeon. I’ll go for a moment.”

“Yes. Take it easy.”

As I lay down and looked at the training ground, Nam Da-eun and Scarlett took turns switching positions.

Hoyeon Lee stood up as he saw Scarlett soaked in sweat approaching.

She was sweating as if she had been under quite a bit of pressure from Rebecca.

“Scarlett. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you, Hoyeon.”

I used a clean spell on Scarlett and handed her a towel.

“Rebecca is very motivated today.”

“It may be because Liliana and Miss Da-eun grew faster than expected. Rebecca also had pride in being the strongest in this house.”

“Well, Rebecca has some pride, too. Liliana and Dahee are having fun up there, right?”

“Yes. We decided not to play a prank on Miss Dahee by sending her into the sky, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Hmm. But Scarlett, why are you still standing? Sit next to me.”

Even after wiping off her sweat, she stood next to Lee Ho-yeon.

Scarlett shook her head at Lee Ho-yeon’s words.

“I am comfortable with this. I have been standing since I was young.”

The assassin of the Iris Guild never loses focus even when resting.

Since I always stand and rest, the habit has become ingrained in me.

“If that’s the case.”

If you don’t want to sit, there’s nothing we can do.

Ho-yeon Lee leaned his face on Scarlett’s thigh, who was standing next to him.

I felt the texture of black stockings on my cheek.

It wasn’t soft, but it was warm and felt good.

“… What are you doing?”

“I tried to get a lap pillow when I sat down, but you kept standing.”

“What does that have to do with you pressing your cheek against my thigh?”

“I’ve been busy these days so I couldn’t even hold your hand?”

“You don’t really hold your hands very well.”

“Seup. That’s what it says. It’s skinship, it’s skinship. If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”

“I didn’t mean I didn’t like it. If the purpose is skinship, not rest, I will sit down, so please give me a seat.”

“It’s good, but it’s like that.”

Smiling, Hoyeon Lee slightly moved his butt out of the way, and Scarlett quietly sat down next to him.
