The faculty building where Victoria Academy’s professors’ labs are located.

Among them, Dr. Hyorin Kang’s lab was special.

“No matter how much you think about it, isn’t this lab given for surveillance purposes?”

Kang Hyo-rin looked around the spacious laboratory and spoke to her friend sitting across from her.

Scarlett sighed, tucking her blonde hair behind her ear.

“well. Isn’t it just a favor? “I don’t think the student council president has that kind of personality.”

“favor? That Moon Su-rin? It’s because you don’t know much. You’ve never had a private meeting with the student council president. “Unlike the image, there is a snake inside.”

Hyorin Kang is a visiting professor at the Academy and the head of the Korean branch of the Iris Guild.

Originally, her identity was a secret, but as the friendship between Victoria Academy and Iris Guild deepened, her identity was naturally revealed.

Moon Su-rin, who was discouraged by the fact that the Iris Guild’s underlings were brought into the academy, quickly regained her strength and even provided Kang Hyo-rin with a spacious laboratory.

Except for Professor Lim Sol, there has never been a professor who used such a large laboratory by himself. It was Moon Su-rin’s pure kindness toward the Iris Guild.

… However, Kang Hyo-rin, who is stabbed somewhere, is left feeling uneasy.

“When I was with Team Leader 1, the person who seemed like an angel suddenly changed when we were alone together. Ugh… .”

It’s a shame that Victoria Academy’s important information wasn’t stolen, but if it was… I didn’t even want to imagine it.

Kang Hyo-rin thought of herself floating in the sky while fighting Moon Soo-rin, and her body trembled.

“Stop talking nonsense and just do your work.”

Student council president Su-rin Moon is famous for being nice. I guess he just did that because he got stabbed.

Scarlett shook her head and focused on the documents. Her work was Kang Hyo-rin’s paperwork.

The paperwork was so messed up, if Scarlett wasn’t there, Team 1 would have been devastated.

It’s amazing how he got the position of head of the Korean branch even though he’s so bad at his job.

“Scarlett. Please don’t look at me with pitiful eyes. I’m good at tasks other than documents. “Team Leader 1 also acknowledged it.”

“Do you not know Irene’s personality? “Not once or twice have I just praised you with empty words.”

“wow. Now you say Irene. Awesome.”

“Hyorin Kang. “I’m not a member of the guild, so wouldn’t it be strange for me to call you Team 1 Leader?”

Working with Kang Hyo-rin always felt like this.

The pace of work was slow due to small talk and jokes.

I ignored it and focused on my work, but Kang Hyo-rin couldn’t stand it for even 5 minutes and started talking to me again.

“Scarlett.”

“why.”

“How about coming back to the Iris Guild? “I will pay you a lot of money.”

“… “What are you talking about out of the blue?”

Scarlett put down the documents and looked at Kang Hyo-rin.

She had her arms crossed with a frustrated expression.

“no. The standards of those who come to the Korean branch these days are so low. “If you did just as much, my work would be cut in half.”

“What do you need me to help you with anyway?”

“I can’t entrust you with something really important! Team leader 1, don’t you know what I’m thinking? “No matter how much you do, if an outsider catches you, I’ll be the same.”

“But that doesn’t work. I had a tearful farewell with the guild leader. “I said hello to all my guild members, but when I came back, the picture was strange.”

That wasn’t the only reason.

Iris Guild was a nice place, but she preferred a peaceful life like this.

“As expected, the unlucky girl who left the guild for love….”

“… .”

“Hmm, the coffee is bitter.”

As Scarlett frowned, Kang Hyo-rin uncrossed her arms and brought the coffee next to her to her mouth.

I didn’t forget to blame the coffee for no reason.

‘… I’m wondering whether I should hit him or not.’

Scarlett shook her head as she looked at Kang Hyo-rin who was watching.

It would be better to deal with Liliana, but Kang Hyo-rin watches her like that and teases her until she gets angry.

Even if I hadn’t paid him a lot of money, he would have already been slapped dozens of times.

“So, how is things going with Lee Ho-yeon?”

“ha. “Why is that person suddenly there?”

“Why? He is the man the world is focusing on right now. “I also need to gather some information.”

“… so so?”

“what? You can’t do that. How many women are around him! It’s a shame that the people who received help from Lee Ho-yeon are working hard to stop it. “If it weren’t for that, there would have already been an uproar over women’s bias.”

“Don’t be weird, I’m done with work, so if you don’t have anything to do, I’ll just let you get off work, right?”

Scarlett overcame Kang Hyo-rin’s interruption and finished the paperwork.

Why is this friend so interested in dating history?

Is this some kind of old maid hysteria?

“I know your personality well. “We need to change that personality of having good abilities but not executing.”

“Hyorin Kang. “Why are there so many useless words today?”

“lets think. If you had wanted to, you could have become a branch manager like me, right? “I was a guild member because I just did what I was told.”

“I’m comfortable with that. “I don’t want to be responsible.”

Scarlett’s personality was like that from the beginning.

Because it’s easier to live a normal life without having to scratch or make a mess.

So I like my life now.

“you stupid. You can’t do that in the dating business. I’ll give you a bonus, so use it to go on a date with Lee Ho-yeon. no. “I’ll give you a lecture today.”

“… You’ve been working all your life and have never been in a relationship.”

Scarlett and Kang Hyo-rin were best friends who knew everything about each other.

Of course I know she has no experience.

“I saw it in a drama.”

“….”

The lessons I learned while living with Liliana came to mind.

If you want to be happy, you shouldn’t talk to fools.

It’s your own fault for talking to an idiot.

Scarlett ignored Kang Hyo-rin and prepared to go home.

*

“I don’t know if he’s nice or stupid.”

When Scarlett returned home, she threw herself on the sofa and looked at the smart watch screen.

– Kang Hyo-rin: I deposited the bonus, so come hang out with Lee Ho-yeon!!!! go for it!!!!

I wondered why this was happening since they sent me home early, but I actually deposited the money as a bonus.

When I looked at the amount, it was exactly twice my monthly salary. I was just chatting, but they gave me a bonus.

‘If this continues, I’ll have to be better at small talk starting tomorrow.’

Hogu was here.

Starting tomorrow, I’d like to ask for some dating advice.

I think they’ll give you an extra bonus if you say things don’t work out with that person.

“What are you doing here?”

“…?”

When I turned my head at the sudden sound of a voice, I saw Hoyeon Lee looking down at me.

‘This person looks handsome even from below.’

I was once again surprised.

Was there too much focus on performance bonuses? Or did this person come in too quietly?

Hoyeon Lee blinked at Scarlett, who was embarrassed, and then opened her mouth.

“Scarlett. “Didn’t you go to work?”

“Hoyeon, didn’t you really go to the academy? “Did you follow my advice and skip the academy?”

“… “It’s similar.”

Since I was kicked out of class, I came back with the intention of seeing Liliana and resting at home for a while.

Anyway, this afternoon’s class was practical.

I said it was sparring. If you get involved for no reason, only Lee Ho-yeon’s opponent will suffer.

“Is Liliana missing? “I came here because I was worried and heard what was going on with the bungeoppang.”

“Rebecca said that as soon as she received the bungeoppang machine, she went out into the streets. After that, I’m not sure.”

“… It’s really annoying. Well, you’re not a kid, you’ll take care of it.”

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I met Liliana.

I saved him from being threatened by bullies when he ran out of the house saying he wouldn’t sign a contract with a hellish bastard.

… It was more pure and cute back then.

Liliana, who has regained her memories, is not weak enough to go anywhere and get hit.

I’ll have to rest for a while and then go look for it.

“It’s been a while since we were alone. Move aside. “Let me sit down too.”

Scarlett was wearing hot pants made of comfortable material like pajamas, which exposed her thighs.

Hoyeon Lee naturally put her hand between her thighs.

“You naturally engage in sexual harassment.”

“… “I think I should get used to it little by little.”

“I can only sigh because I don’t feel embarrassed anymore.”

Even as Scarlett said that, she moved her body to make room for Hoyeon Lee to sit.

Normally, I would have gotten up and sat next to him, but for some reason I didn’t feel like doing that today.

– Even if you’re a woman, you can’t stay still. Sometimes you have to act cute and weak and get worried. Men like that.

I remembered Kang Hyo-rin giving a lecture on dating that she learned from dramas.

It was a useless lecture, so I skimmed through it, but there was a sentence that caught my ear.

‘What is pretending to be cute and what is pretending to be weak?’

It was a far cry from Scarlett.

I’m worried. What Scarlett hates most is causing trouble to others.

“Scarlett. “Is Liliana going to be okay?”

“Liliana is not weak enough to go anywhere and get beaten up.”

“That’s not true, I’m just worried that he’ll hit me.”

“……It’ll probably be okay.”

Sadly, we can’t be sure, but Liliana isn’t that incoherent.

The only time Liliana acts recklessly is when she is at home.

“I hope so. Liliana has grown up now.”

“But is touching my skin and talking about Liliana part of sexual harassment?”

“… “This is just a habit.”

Hoyeon Lee had his hand between Scarlett’s thighs.

It’s soft and feels good, but it’s not like this for any particular reason.

‘Liliana, you don’t have to worry.’

Hoyeon Lee was especially worried about Liliana.

The reason was that there were so many accidents.

In fact, it’s not just Lee Ho-yeon. Everyone who lives in this house is very worried about Liliana.

I didn’t have any feelings because it was such a natural thing, but today a strange feeling arose.

‘If only I cared that much… ‘What does it feel like?’

Scarlett was also the same person who took care of Liliana.

But there is no need for that anymore.

She’s not weak enough to go anywhere and get beaten up, and she’s learned a bit now.

Scarlett didn’t notice, but Kang Hyo-rin’s words were shaking her emotions.

I was jealous of Liliana, who made Lee Ho-yeon pay attention even when she wasn’t here.

‘Pretending to be cute?’

Aren’t there times like that? When you just want to do something strange.

A day when I want to do what Liliana does every day at least once.

Today was Scarlett’s day.

“ah.”

“ah?”

Hoyeon Lee’s head turned while looking at the smart watch.

Scarlett opened her mouth with the same expressionless expression as usual.

“Aang. “I want to go out and play.”

“… what?”

Lee Ho-yeon’s body stopped like a doll whose strings had been cut.

Did I hear something wrong?

“… Aang.”

“… … ?”

“Ah, ugh! it’s nothing.”

I thought I didn’t hear properly, so I tried to do it one more time, but I came back to my senses when I saw Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes and mouth getting bigger.

Scarlett quietly closed her eyes.

What have I done now?

I felt embarrassment slowly coming over me and my face was turning red.

‘… Kang Hyo-rin, I have to kill that crazy woman.’

As I was talking nonsense, useless thoughts came into my head.

This kind of behavior doesn’t suit you. Scarlett opened her eyes as expressionlessly as possible.

“Scarlett.”

“I tried following Liliana. Hoyeon. “Oh, how was it?”

I tried to get over it somehow, but I couldn’t stop my red face and trembling voice.

“Isn’t it cute? Try one more time.”

Hoyeon Lee smiled as she looked at Scarlett’s red face.

Why is he like this today?

“… “I don’t think it will happen twice.”

“What? If it was only a one-time thing, I would have looked harder. Please do it again.”

“It’s not possible!”

Scarlett turned and got up from the sofa.

If I stay here any longer, my face might explode.

I need to go to my room and meditate.

However, Scarlett flopped down on the sofa again due to the force of her wrist.

When I turned my head, I saw Lee Ho-yeon smiling.

“Where are you going? Scarlett”

“If you don’t let go of my wrist, I will die.”

“Don’t die, let’s go on a date.”

“… date? “You mean now?”

“What if you are embarrassed? “Let’s go out and have fun?”

I wonder why he is like this today, but what does the reason matter?

It’s cute too. If you want to go out, I have to take you with me.

Hoyeon Lee got up from the sofa in a good mood.

“All right….”

Scarlett looked blankly at the back of Lee Ho-yeon, who was going up the stairs to take a shower.

… Should we hold off on hitting Kang Hyo-rin a little longer?

She cleared her throat thinking about that.
