“So there you have it. Rumi….”

“Lucy also said sorry to Ai for shooting the wrong fire arrow….”

“Ah. But that was an unavoidable mistake! Ai blocked my eyes.”

I sat in a cafe and watched the conversation between the two people.

The ones chattering away in front of me are Lucy and Rumi.

The two were eating cake while talking about what happened in Japan.

‘It’s delicious…’ .’

Every time you put a cake filled with strawberries in your mouth, sweetness fills your body.

This is a taste worth coming here to eat.

“Mr. Hoyeon, does the cake suit your taste?”

“Yes. It’s a good thing you came.”

“Hehe. I chose it with Lucy.”

“This is a place where strawberries are especially delicious!”

I eagerly agreed with Lucy and Rumi’s words and looked outside.

This is because I had a problem filling my head even while playing with the Lucy Rumi twins at a cafe.

‘Those bastards definitely look like a devil cult… .’

A leaflet I received from a cult on the street.

It was still in my pocket, still carrying a subtle infernal magic.

‘If you’re not a devil cult, there’s no reason to feel the magic of hell.’

There is no possibility of feeling the magic of hell in the leaflets distributed by ordinary cults.

There was a high possibility that it was the Demon Church, a demon organization, but the problem was that what I felt there was the magic power of hell.

‘If you feel the magic of hell, does it mean that it’s not just the maestro, but also the real devil?’

I thought it was only the Maestro, but if there is also a devil, I have to be even more nervous.

Even if they were a devil cult, there was something strange about them.

‘They’re doing it so openly, but it hasn’t been discovered until now?’

The Demon Cult is not only investigating me, but also the Iris Guild and Victoria Academy.

But I couldn’t understand why he was acting so openly.

“Mr. Hoyeon?”

“Lee Ho-yeon, what are you doing?”

Was I too absorbed in my thoughts?

Lucy and Rumi were looking this way.

“Oh, yeah. Sorry, I was thinking about something else. What did you say?”

“What? I’m going to go to the bathroom with Rumi, so just wait.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”

Lucy and Rumi went to the bathroom, and I took out the flyer I had stuffed in my pocket.

Even after reading it briefly, the content didn’t seem very good.

“Destruction is coming to the world. Participate in the meeting… Hmm. Participating in the meeting means there is a meeting…”

Are a lot of ordinary people involved?

It may be bigger than you think.

I picked up my smartwatch.

– Me: Ellis. People who hand out fake leaflets on the street are suspicious. They say there is a rally, so be careful and investigate so the investigators don’t disappear.

I also checked Everytime to see if there were people who felt strange, but there was almost no information about the cult.

Most of them were swearing that it was a hassle to hand over the flyers.

“Hmm. Hmm~.”

As I was looking at the smartwatch, I soon heard a pleasant hum.

Lucy, who returned to her seat, looked at the leaflet in my hand and asked.

“Lee Ho-yeon. What are you looking at?”

“Lucy. Don’t you feel something strange about this?”

“Is that the flyer from earlier? Why didn’t you throw it away?”

Lucy looked around with the leaflet in my hand, squinted, then shook her head.

“Hmm. I’m not sure.”

“Okay. It’s okay.”

“What? I’m losing steam.”

Lucy is also a wizard who uses the magic of hell.

If she didn’t notice, most investigators wouldn’t have noticed either.

Some of them followed behind with suspicion… .

‘He must have been brainwashed by the Maestro.’

Investigators cannot report every issue to higher-ups, so it is common to investigate cases of this level directly to confirm whether they are truly suspicious before reporting them.

If you think about it that way, it makes sense that investigators are disappearing.

‘Because no one senses magic better than me.’

He probably came into contact with the Devil Cult alone, was brainwashed, and disappeared.

Or maybe he didn’t know he was brainwashed and omitted to report it.

“… Tsk.”

Should I do my own research later?

The worst thing would be if the Maestro runs away after sending in more investigators.

I’ll have to tell Ellis to investigate so she doesn’t get caught.

“Mr. Hoyeon. What’s going on?”

“No. I just felt bad looking at the flyer.”

I smiled and put the flyer in the trash can.

Investigating the Devil Cult is important, but if you are not going to attack it alone, you need time.

For now, let’s focus on playing with Lucy Lumi.

“Oh, it’s so delicious… I just wanted to show you my pretty side today. Can I eat it like this?”

Lucy was picking up the cake with a fork as she said that.

I think she does that because she knows she’s pretty.

“Lucy looks pretty even if she eats a lot.”

“Hehe. Thank you!”

While Lucy smiled, Rumi blinked and quickly picked up her fork.

“Ho, Mr. Hoyeon. I’m going to eat cake too.”

“Rumi is pretty and cute too.”

“…yum.”

I smiled as I saw Rumi eating cake with a blushing face.

Even though it is an insignificant action, it exudes cuteness on the body.

This is the realm of talent.

‘I guess I can’t just relax.’

I think there will be a lot of work to do tomorrow.

*

Maestro.

The final boss who continues to harass the protagonist in the original work.

To be precise, the Demon King is the final boss… The Maestro, who made the Demon King descend and tormented the protagonist throughout the game, is even more difficult to deal with.

What makes him particularly difficult is his unique fighting style.

“Baby dad. Is this okay?”

“I wish I was a little stronger.”

“Hmm. It’s possible, but why are you doing this? Is this what you like?”

“… Rebecca, please concentrate.”

Hoyeon Lee recalled the memory of meeting Maestro at the Academy.

A strange feeling that no magic power is entering the body.

Frustration and helplessness that constricts my whole body.

From that meeting, Hoyeon Lee was able to feel that it was fate that Chiron had talked about.

The memories of that time still remain.

If we meet again, I won’t be as helpless as I was then.

Jiing-

The rune barrier that filled the training ground put pressure on Lee Ho-yeon’s body.

The rune barrier Rebecca used was the same as Lee Ho-yeon, but different.

The ultimate meaning of the rune barrier she uses is that she can literally do anything.

That’s why I asked him to recreate the pressure when I met the Maestro.

However, the feeling was different from what Hoyeon Lee expected.

‘The pressure is strong… .’

What I felt when I met the Maestro was not just pressure.

A slightly higher-dimensional feeling that is difficult to express?

It seems that it was difficult for Rebecca to reproduce.

“Deployment of the Demon Heavenly Palace.”

“Ugh, ugh….”

As he unfolded the Demon Heavenly Palace, Hoyeon Lee’s magic power began to push out Rebecca’s magic power.

The power that had been weighing down her entire body naturally disappeared, and Rebecca narrowed her brows before finally releasing her magic.

“Surrender, surrender! I’m going to die so hard. Sigh.”

“Thank you, Rebecca. There was something I wanted to test.”

“What do I have for this? Is that enough? I have to go play with Miss Scarlett and Liliana.”

“Yes. Please play slowly.”

I heard that we were all going shopping together today, and I was very glad that they had fun without me.

After Rebecca left, Hoyeon Lee came up to the first floor after practicing magic in an empty training hall.

Nam Da-eun and Nam Da-hee also went out, so Ho-yeon Lee was the only one staying home.

“Let’s at least go outside first.”

Before the attack of the devil and the devil lord occurred, the problem that needed to be solved immediately was the devil religion.

In the original, the Maestro is killed and the Demon King appears, but we don’t know what will happen now.

If a situation arises where the two exist together, clearing it will become incredibly difficult.

‘If we can deal with the Maestro, it will be much easier for humans to come together.’

Although Lee Ho-yeon has solved the brainwashing of people from each country, he cannot be concerned every time.

It will be easy to prevent the Demon King’s attack if you take out the Maestro.

‘I feel like I want to go in alone.’

I want to find the Maestro right now and break his head, but if I end up being the victim, there is no such thing as a disaster.

But I couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Even if the Iris Guild investigates, there is no telling when the investigation will end.

“First, let’s meet with the head of the Korean branch at the academy.”

It’s a bit awkward to ask Ellis every time, so you could ask Dr. Hyorin Kang directly.

Since we can’t leave everything to the Iris Guild, let’s find out what we can do to help.

Hoyeon Lee roughly got dressed and came out of the house.

*

Academy’s professor’s office.

Dr. Hyorin Kang yawned and organized her documents.

Although she had always been working as an academy professor and the head of the Korean branch of the Iris Guild, she felt even more tired today.

“…Why does my head hurt so much these days?”

Hyorin Kang was investigating the Mine organization as the head of the Korean branch.

Many movements of demons have been captured in Korea, but strangely, their home base has not been discovered.

As the head of the Korean branch, my pride was hurt.

“That’s because Scarlett didn’t come on a date. Ugh. Tsk.”

Scarlett was actually hanging out with women, but that wasn’t important to Kang Hyo-rin.

I should at least send you a greeting message later.

“Haaam…how far did I research?”

Kang Hyo-rin read the document.

Then, something strange caught her eye.

“… That’s strange. I didn’t go here?”

Kang Hyo-rin frowned and checked the documents.

The story was that they traced back the movements of the demons and found a place believed to be the organization’s headquarters.

We succeeded in finding the home base of the demons hiding in the Iris Guild.

Since it was an important matter, I was planning on investigating it myself rather than leaving it to an investigator, but I still haven’t gone.

Something was strange.

“No. I must have said it two days ago….”

The moment I felt awkward.

Kang Hyo-rin’s eyes widened.

Kang Hyo-rin, who was staring into space with empty eyes, regained her senses only after a few minutes.

She looked around blankly and picked up her smartwatch.

“Huh…? What was I doing? Oh, were you trying to text Scarlett to say hello?”

Kang Hyo-rin smiled and sent a message to Scarlett.

Because it was really fun to make fun of her relationship with Lee Ho-yeon.

The documents about the Mine organization were already forgotten in Kang Hyo-rin’s memory.
