The next morning.

Last night, Liliana and Scarlett took the video and went straight back.

Scarlett said that a camera was installed in my hospital room, but she did not tell me because she said that if she knew where it was, she would become aware of the camera.

“You’re a movie director?”

They said they would bring Nam Da-eun early this morning, so let’s wait for now.

The chairman announced the academy’s position last night.

I presented clear evidence, including the artifact of the Hall of Fame that I exploded during the Heavenly Remembrance Day, the magic circle used during the terrorist attack, the expected damage, etc.

If there was such good evidence, why didn’t they do it sooner?

Damn old man.

Anyway, now the guys who framed me are almost gone.

‘The truth that Lee Ho-yeon hides’

A group called ‘Lee Samjin’ for short was also being criticized.

“The world is working properly.”

The strange world that treated academy talent like me poorly has finally come to an end.

——————————–

[Summary of interview related to Iron Blood Guild Leader Hoyeon]

-When I met him in person, he was a really great friend. I felt like I had a glimpse into the future of our country.

-I think he is a talented person who will lead the domestic hunter community in the future.

I have to admit it to this extent haha.

——————————–

[If you think about it, it didn’t make sense. Even if you’re creating a hero at Aria Academy, you have to make something that makes sense haha.]

[The Academy is still deceiving the public. All of that evidence has been fabricated, and all of the interviews that are being released now have been recruited.]

[Go away now, you Shinyoung guild bug.]

“Okay, okay.”

You have to know how to filter out those bugs.

Shinyoung Guild has not yet announced an official position on the controversy, but it could not stop the revelations that were already coming out.

Because the revelations continued, starting with the kind-hearted man.

Of course, Shinyoung Guild, a huge guild, will not fall with this one hit.

Still, there will be a huge blow… Wouldn’t you like to be quiet for a while?

‘Dr. Kang Hyo-rin just needs to bring evidence of the Buyers Guild.’

The Buyers Guild will soon notice that Nam Da-hee has disappeared. Maybe they have already noticed.

They say Kang Hyo-rin set up a magic circle, but it’s already been a few days.

With that thought in mind, I’m looking around the community.

smart.

“Student Lee Ho-yeon, this is a meeting.”

A knocking sound interrupted my thoughts.

It’s the voice of my nurse.

“Who came?”

“A man named Scout and two more people came.”

“Ah…yes, please let me in.”

Scout.

I was wondering why he was a scout, but I guess he did it because he was afraid of getting caught by Ellis.

The two people who came with me were Nam Da-eun and Nam Da-hee.

I got up from the bed and prepared to greet the guest.

*

Scarlett, Nam Da-eun, and Nam Da-hee were on their way to the hospital room where Lee Ho-yeon was hospitalized.

“….”

“Are you nervous?”

After receiving permission to visit, Scarlett spoke to Nam Da-eun, who was quiet while going up to the hospital room.

“A little.”

Nam Da-eun was worried.

Why did you help yourself and why did you do that?

There were so many things to ask.

“It’s okay, sister. You and my brother are very close friends.”

“…Yes. But you have to be quiet in the hospital room.”

Nam Da-eun’s smart watch rang.

Tiring-

Pop.

I kept getting calls from the Buyers Guild, but they were all ignoring me.

This is because Nam Da-hee was next to him.

As much as Lee Ho-yeon, who saved her younger brother, told her to ignore it, Nam Da-eun was listening carefully.

Hum-

Something trembled in Scarlett’s chest.

This is the necklace that Liliana changed into.

From the moment I left the dormitory, I was shaking and feeling frustrated.

Sigh-

Scarlett touched the necklace soothingly with her hand.

“We’ll be arriving soon. Please be patient.”

After a while, I arrived at the hospital room.

“Visits that are too long are restricted. Have a good time!”

The nurse in charge took the group to the hospital room and disappeared somewhere.

smart.

“Hoyeon, it’s me.”

Scarlett knocked on the door as a representative.

-come in.

At the sound of voices coming from inside, I opened the door and entered the hospital room.

The sight of Lee Ho-yeon sitting with her back against the wall caught the eyes of the group.

“You’re here early in the morning. Everyone sit comfortably. There’s nothing to eat, but there’s something to drink in the refrigerator, so you can take it out and eat it.”

Lee Ho-yeon spoke while looking at Nam Da-hee and Nam Da-eun looking around.

“Hello, handsome brother. I came here with my sister.”

“Yes, bye.”

When I saw Nam Da-hee greeting me, I turned my attention to Nam Da-eun.

Nam Da-eun was looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s face with her usual expressionless expression.

‘… ‘What does that mean?’

I looked at Liliana for so long that I could tell what she wanted to say just by looking at her eyes, but Nam Da-eun wasn’t there yet.

For your information, Liliana has now transformed from the necklace back into a succubus and is looking through the refrigerator and thinking about what to drink.

★Heroine status window

[Nam Da-eun]

-[Likeability: 75]

-[Sexual drive: 20]

-[Appetite:37]

-[Fatigue: 50]

Current status: Why, I have to ask why. Why did you save Da-hee?

‘ah… .’

It’s a bit difficult to say the curse word in front of everyone.

Hoyeon Lee made eye contact with Scarlett.

“Like I said yesterday, I brought them all today….”

Scarlett responded as she moved her eyes with all her might and expressed her desire to have a conversation alone with Nam Da-eun.

“Umm…Miss Nam Dahee and Liliana. I’m going out for a moment.”

“why?”

“I need to have a drink. I need to eat plums.”

“It’ll just take a moment. I’ll buy you a drink.”

Gun gun gun.

Scarlett took the two of them and left for a while.

‘Of course it’s Scarlett.’

Ho-yeon Lee nodded slightly and then looked at Da-eun Nam.

“Um, are you feeling okay?”

And then I cautiously opened my mouth.

“…I don’t think it’s something you should say when you’re hospitalized.”

“is it?”

“….”

Nam Da-eun pursed her lips.

There were too many things to ask.

Why did you save Da-hee, is she in good condition, and why are you helping her?

But I couldn’t get the words out.

I was afraid to say these words out loud.

I was afraid that they might tie me down like the Buyer’s Guild, and that they would ask for something in return for helping me.

Of course I know that’s not the case.

Because Lee Ho-yeon was not that kind of person.

But Mingyu wasn’t that kind of person until he changed in an instant.

Nam Da-eun gritted her teeth at the pitiful sight of herself not being able to speak out of fear.

“Have you heard from the Buyers Guild?”

At that time, Lee Ho-yeon spoke first.

“Yeah, I’m not taking it. Because you told me not to take it….”

“Good job. Don’t ever contact me because they are vicious people. My forces are currently investigating the corruption of the Buyer’s Guild, so we will be able to expose them soon.”

“…Why are you helping me?”

Nam Da-eun finally asked the question she had been holding back.

He did not have such a deep relationship with Lee Ho-yeon.

However, he mobilized his forces to help with all his heart, and eventually rescued Da-hee.

After that, they even came to clean up after me without asking for anything in return.

At this point, I started to be afraid of what Lee Ho-yeon would ask for.

Elephants that have been trained by a keeper since childhood cannot rebel against a keeper who is smaller than their own legs even when they become adults.

Nam Da-eun, who suffered all kinds of harassment from the Buyers Guild, had no choice but to be suspicious of others.

“I-I have nothing. I have nothing to compensate you, and of course I will repay this somehow….”

Ho-yeon Lee looked at Nam Da-eun who was speaking gibberish.

My shoulders and hands were shaking slightly, and I could feel tension and fear in my tight eyes and mouth.

It must be awkward to feel a sense of freedom that you haven’t felt in a long time.

I wonder how much the buyers guild had to deal with to get that kind of reaction.

“There was just no reason.”

“uh?”

Nam Da-eun’s eyes widened at Lee Ho-yeon’s words.

“While investigating the background of Shinyoung Guild, I found out about your relationship with the Buyers Guild, and I just saved you while I was dealing with the Buyers Guild, which is in charge of Shinyoung Guild’s dirty work. So, you don’t have to worry about it.”

“B-but…I owe you too much not to care.”

“Then, just like you said, pay me back someday. Now that you’re free, you can live with your younger brother and do whatever you want, and then if you find a way to repay me, repay me.”

Honestly, I don’t really need anything in return.

It’s not because he lacks money, or because he doesn’t have any connections.

All you have to do is feel grateful. I am satisfied with that.

“….”

Nam Da-eun lowered her head and trembled.

It seems like it doesn’t feel real yet.

After a while, Nam Da-eun began to quietly shed tears along with a sniffling sound.

Lee Ho-yeon, who saw that, waited until Nam Da-eun calmed down.

“T-thank you. I’ll pay you back somehow… no matter what I do.”

“Yeah, now that I think about it, I heard something from Dahee. What was it? Going to a cafe, eating, watching a movie… When did you always do that with me?”

Before participating in the party, I told Nam Da-eun exactly what I heard from Nam Da-hee.

To relieve the stiff atmosphere, Lee Ho-yeon put a slight smile on her face.

Nam Da-eun’s face turned bright red with tears in her eyes.

“…I’m sorry. I didn’t have anything to tell my younger brother, so I just made it up. Please keep it a secret from Dahee.”

“Aha…I see.”

I thought it was strange, but it seems like he was the only person he could think of, so he made me the target of his lies.

“…I’m sorry. I apologize properly if I made you feel bad….”

“Then shall we go to the cafe first?”

“huh?”

“You can just say what you said. Then it won’t be a lie.”

Nam Da-eun is also a fresh-faced 20-year-old girl.

There are probably a lot of things you want to do, such as playing with friends or walking around.

So, he must have told some lies.

Nam Da-eun wiped away her tears and smiled brightly rather than with an expressionless expression.

“…huh!”

That smile was much brighter than when I was talking on the phone with my sister.
