“Haaa… … ”

Do Yu-jin looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

A look so full of superiority that it wouldn’t be strange to say that the world will end tomorrow.

Thanks to the food Darcy left behind, I was able to move around somehow, but was it because my body hadn’t fully recovered yet?

Today, I felt like the sigh coming out of my mouth was unusually heavy.

‘No, is it not the body but the mind that is the problem?’

In fact, if it was natural, it was a natural reaction.

Because somehow, instead of removing the existing lump, I ended up adding a lump that didn’t exist before.

‘Maybe I… … am I behaving a bit wrong?’

Do Yu-jin, who suddenly had this thought, thought deeply about the people she had had relationships with up until now.

Erio, we are currently living together and getting along very well.

Han Si-yeon, I made her my subordinate through training with you, but I heard that she’s been neglecting me for too long recently, so she’s trying to follow me by going after the first-year students.

Rias, I met you using my fake identity as a ghost, but I feel uncomfortable meeting you because my identity was half discovered… … I wonder if you’re doing background checks on me right now?

Chavia, there is no news yet, but he is still a promising player who is growing steadily.

Shigure, the second promising prospect who is also growing steadily, but unlike the first one, this one has already shown some results.

Rumi is currently the most guarded person and the number one human to avoid at all costs.

Darcy, I screwed up so badly today that my next training day is going to be hell.

Ellis, this guy is not the kind of person I can control in the first place.

Phew-

I was proud of myself for doing well, but I sighed when I realized that I felt a sense of crisis rather than a sense of intimacy with more than half of the people I had relationships with.

Gyaut-

‘But what is it? I clearly didn’t want to get involved with the main character level people from the beginning, but how did things turn out like this… … No, that’s not it.’

Do Yu-jin tried hard to hold onto her spirit that was trying to go back to the past.

The situation right in front of me was giving me a headache, so I didn’t want to make the problem worse.

‘I’m worried about you too… … But for now, I think it’s right to focus on them.’

Do Yu-jin thought for a moment, then pushed Darcy away and thought of Yuna and Yumi.

“Haaa… … ”

And at the same time, the sighs became deeper.

He had to find some answer to get through this evening that was approaching, but there were too many things he didn’t know right now.

‘First of all, they’ve suddenly changed so much, like they’ve been going through puberty or something. They’ve even made strange friends in places I don’t know… ‘

uh?

Do Yu-jin unconsciously continued her thoughts, then a possibility came to mind and she became lost in thought for a moment.

‘Honestly, I don’t think going there will give me any hints on how to solve this situation… … ‘

Sigh-

‘But wouldn’t it be better to do something than to just sit there and do nothing?’

Do Yu-jin took a step forward with the mindset that he had to lose to get what he wanted.

And that’s where we arrived.

“Huh? Long time no see?”

“Yes, hello. Senior Memerry.”

There was a cosplay club that I joined but rarely attended.

“Haha! What is that!”

Hearing Do Yu-jin’s awkward answer, Memories smiled brightly and said.

“Sleep! If you keep acting awkward like that, I’ll be upset.”

Even though it was her first time at the club since joining, Memori greeted Do Yu-jin with a bright smile as if they had just talked yesterday.

Do Yu-jin felt her skin starting to wrinkle more and she slowly held out the things in her hands.

“Here. I was wondering what to bring, so I just brought a few snacks.”

“Wow! Thank you!”

Memories asked her to wait a moment, then brought a glass, a plate, and a fork from somewhere.

“Oh, Eugene said you like donuts, right?”

“Yes? I definitely like donuts, but… … ”

“I wonder how you knew?”

Dalgrak-

Memories said as she placed coffee and donuts in front of Do Yu-jin.

“Erio talks about you a lot, so he knows roughly what you like and dislike.”

“Oh, really?”

Do Yu-jin felt a little awkward because she knew that Erio often came here to play, but she never thought he would talk about her.

Memories smiled lightly as she looked at him.

“Yeah, maybe that’s why I feel a surge of inner intimacy even though it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, right?”

“Ahahaha… … ”

When Do Yu-jin awkwardly smiled, not knowing what to say, Memori quietly sipped her juice and asked.

“So? I heard you’ve been super busy lately. What are you doing here at the office?”

“Um, that’s… … It’s not that I made an excuse because I didn’t want to come, I was really busy… … ”

“Ah! Don’t misunderstand! I wasn’t trying to say anything, I was just asking because I was really curious. I have some connections, so I’ve heard a little bit about what you’ve been making lately.”

The seasoning that Do Yu-jin created to make a name for herself was now being sold all over the world at extremely high prices through the Circle Auction House.

It was a result of a trend that started with a few companies rushing in at first, and now even other companies are flocking in, and the limited edition image that was accidentally created because Do Yu-jin produced a small amount of goods was combined with it.

Thanks to this, Do Yu-jin had more free time than she had thought, and after thinking about it for a moment, she ended up spending less time on alchemy.

That is, the only reason he’s been busy lately is because he’s been helping Chavia and Shigure train.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

However, Do Yu-jin did not bring up that part and kick away the opportunity that Memories gave her.

If Do Yu-jin was that stupid or honest, he would have already been captured by Kagura Rumi and locked up somewhere.

‘That problem will have to be solved someday.’

Do Yu-jin suddenly felt depressed as a thought occurred to her.

The contract with Rias and Yorbi.

Class with Darcy.

Even the after party with Rumi.

It seemed like I was clearly working hard and trying my best, but strangely, my surroundings were filled with problems that needed to be solved.

‘No, it’s not just that they’re piled up, it’s like they’re gradually tightening around my neck… … ‘

Creepy-

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

“Nothing.”

Do Yu-jin briefly imagined herself being captured by one of them, then shook her head and tried to shake off those thoughts.

The thing that we had to worry about right now was Yuna and Yumi’s problem.

Swish-

Do Yu-jin, who had gathered her thoughts, boldly accepted Memori’s gaze that looked at her with a puzzled look as she suddenly turned her head and asked the question she had prepared.

“But senior, I heard from Erio that my daughters came to play here. Is that true?”

What Do Yu-jin gained from her conversation with Darcy wasn’t just back pain.

Through her conversation with her, Do Yu-jin was also able to gain the realization that problems that she could not solve alone could be solved through conversation with others.

Do Yu-jin felt as if her mind was becoming brighter, but there was one problem.

‘There is no one I can consult with… ‘

Darcy?

It seemed like a good choice, but it was impossible to choose because Do Yu-jin kicked the opportunity away all by herself.

Ellis?

Although he was someone who knew the general situation of Do Yu-jin, he didn’t seem like he would be able to give particularly useful advice.

And more than anything, the ominous feeling that if he went there for no reason, not only would the problem get worse, but new problems would arise was strongly stimulating Do Yu-jin’s instincts.

Do Yu-jin had been worrying and worrying like that until she finally came here.

It wasn’t really my intention, but Memories already had a rough idea of the situation.

‘I think this person would be willing to give me some serious advice.’

Do Yu-jin spoke with her own belief and trust.

“Ah, wait a minute.”

Do Yu-jin’s trust was shattered by Memori’s one word before she could even find any real hope.

“Is it by any chance that you came today to consult about your daughters, Yuna and Yumi?”

“Yes,”

“… … I’m asking just in case, but you’re not here because of normal worries that might arise in a normal household, are you?”

Do Yu-jin thought about it for a moment.

By the way, he still didn’t know the answer to why Yuna and Yumi were saying those things to him.

Because the word family, which was engraved like a scar on Do Yu-jin’s head and heart, was so thoroughly suppressed that she couldn’t even dare to think of the word incest, which was beyond the level of incest.

“Yes, what… … ”

Nevertheless, Do Yu-jin nodded her head.

My father spent a night with his live-in girlfriend, and his two daughters saw him and suddenly said something strange and ran away with his live-in girlfriend…

He knew that these kinds of worries weren’t common in normal families.

“Hmm, I guess so… … ”

Thinking that it was a good idea to dry it just in case, Memories quietly sipped her juice.

‘I’d like to hear a little bit about it, but… … ‘

Memories felt tempted for a moment, but soon shook her head.

At first glance, she may seem ordinary, but she is a junior with a lot of charm, to the point where she confidently introduces two teenagers as her daughters.

I felt more fear than curiosity when I saw that such a junior was hesitating to speak about his worries to the point of mumbling like this.

‘If you’re really curious, it would be better to just ask what happened later after everything is over.’

Memories came to that conclusion and slowly opened her mouth.

“If that’s the case, it would be better to talk to someone other than me.”

“Yes?”

“Well, that’s… … They did come here, but I didn’t really talk to them much or anything.”

“Ah… … ”

Do Yu-jin, who thought of Erio, nodded after roughly understanding the situation.

“But who else is that… … ”

That was the moment.

Boom-!

“Senior, hello… … Huh?! Junior Eugene? What’s going on in the office?”

Do Yu-jin glanced at Memori and asked her a question, seeing Tan-tan’s surprised yet happy appearance.

‘I wonder if it’s someone else… … ‘

‘Yeah, that’s what you’re thinking right now.’

After finishing that silent conversation, Do Yu-jin thought for a moment and then realized that she was already on the back of a running tiger, so she quietly opened her mouth.

“Tantan Senior, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”

By the way, Tantan’s answer to this was surprisingly simple.

Bbangkeut-!

“As much as you want!”

A person who can listen to almost anything with a smile if he can hear his juniors call him senior.

That was it.

“Um… … ”

Tan-Tan, wearing a detective’s hat on his head, held a pipe in one hand and stroked his moustache with the other.

It was the outfit that Tantan put on quickly after hearing the word counseling.

Honestly, I didn’t know the correlation between counseling and detective work, but is it really true that she’s a member of a cosplay club?

First of all, I didn’t feel any discomfort or anything from the outfit.

‘How on earth did he get that green moustache?’

When Do Yu-jin was looking so puzzled.

Percussion-

“All mysteries solved.”

“Tantan, who has been through a lot, said in a deep, heavy voice, imitating Janggo.

“In short, junior. Are you embarrassed because you have a hard time understanding your daughters’ sudden actions after seeing your disgrace?”

“Yes, what… … ”

By the way, even though Erio was involved, it was difficult to tell the whole story, so Do Yu-jin only gave a general outline of the situation.

After hearing that answer, Tantan nodded his head again and went to stand in front of the window.

The window didn’t show anything special, only the wall of the building next door, but Tantan didn’t care about such trivial things.

Because what she was looking at now was not the window, but herself looking at the window.

“I think this is quite natural. You must have been embarrassed, but how embarrassed must your daughters have been when they saw you like that.”

“I guess so?”

“Right? Then, you might be able to do something like a sudden rebellion in that mind.”

“Well… … ”

Do Yu-jin nodded, thinking that it was quite plausible.

“Then… …Detective.”

“Please call me senior.”

Even while role-playing, Tan-tan was so strong that he couldn’t give up on that word.

“… … Yes, senior. Then, as a father, how should I comfort those children?”

“That’s not simple either.”

Starting with those words, Tantan told Do Yu-jin various methods.

At first, Do Yu-jin listened to Tan-tan’s words half-believing and half-doubting, but later on, she listened so intently that she unconsciously leaned forward.

Do Yu-jin wants to be seen as a proper father by his two daughters, and Tan-tan wants to be seen as a cool senior by his juniors.

Although neither of them knew it, the two surprisingly had something in common.

“Thanks for the advice, Tan-tan Senior!”

“Hmm! I hope it turns out well!”

Do Yu-jin, who had heard all of Tan-tan’s know-how, took powerful steps.

The background is a night with a dazzling moon rising.

The time was drawing near for him to confront his two daughters and reveal all his inner feelings.
