“Scarlett. You were in Korea because of Ellis, right?”

“Yes. Through personal investigation….”

“Hmm, I remembered. Sebas-chan himself took you, who specializes in hiding, to investigate Ho-yeon Lee. Now that the work is over, you are helping Ellis’ secretary. Is that right?”

“you’re right.”

Isaac nodded, dropped his cigarette and stomped on it.

“Leave that to Sebas-chan, and you watch Ho-yeon Lee again. This is an order from the guild leader. I will tell Sebas-chan, so don’t worry.”

“… All right.”

Scarlett nodded, managing her expression.

“You could use the beauty world… Ah, weren’t you in that category? Anyway.”

For reference, most female undercover agents use the beauty system.

Because there is no reason not to use the abilities you have.

And most of the beauty agents’ goal is to seduce Isaac.

“The reason I keep looking at you is because I’m interested. I have a good eye for looking at people.”

“… yes.”

“Even if you can’t seduce her, you can persuade her well and try to scout her at the Iris guild. Ah, if possible, it would be better to separate her from Ellis altogether.”

“I’ll try.”

Isaac had a huge misunderstanding.

Even if Scarlett succeeds in luring Lee Ho-yeon, she will not be separated from Ellis.

Because Lee Ho-yeon is crazy about women.

“But don’t put too much pressure on him. It’s okay to just get information from him and build a friendship with him. He’s bound to become a big guy.”

“All right.”

Isaac laughed happily.

To be honest, my pride was hurt because I was not able to subdue the cadet right away at first and ended up grabbing him.

However, I was embarrassed when I lasted 5 minutes after my initial goal of 1 minute, and when 10 minutes passed, I was actually impressed.

Of course it wasn’t full power.

True to his nickname, the Emperor of the Night, Isaac’s abilities double when the moon rises.

However, even in daylight, it was enough to rise to the ranks of the strong.

At night, the status changes to suit the nickname ‘Emperor’.

’10 years… ? No, 5 years. Maybe it’s less than that.’

Very few people pass Isaac’s criteria because they make no sense.

He must be younger than himself and stronger than Isaac at that age.

Most people received Isaac’s recognition because they were more outstanding than Isaac in one field, but Lee Ho-yeon was different.

Compared to 20-year-old Isaac, he was so strong.

An immeasurable talent that I encountered for the first time in my life.

‘As long as we maintain that growth curve… .’

It’s too nice to entrust Iris Guild with you.

I don’t think I know anything about stealth or infiltration magic yet, but that deceptive barrier alone is enough.

The attack ability was sufficient, and the creativity and flexibility of magic were also good.

It must have been his first time dealing with an opponent like Isaac, and he immediately poured out useful magic.

‘But I still can’t give you my daughter.’

Isaac has his own rules.

The standard for a man who can take his daughter.

First, he must be a man whom Ellis truly loves.

As long as Ellis exists as his daughter, he should be happier than anyone else in the world.

But you can’t live with only love.

He must be able to protect Ellis even if he dies.

Therefore, a man who can defeat himself when he is in perfect condition.

“….”

I hadn’t even seen the possibility yet.

I thought I could live with it for the rest of my life.

I saw that possibility today.

‘You are an adult now. Ellis.’

Thinking of his daughter growing up in an instant, Isaac became a little depressed.

Even now, they took that guy named Lee Ho-yeon with them.

‘… .’

And Scarlett, who was next to him, wanted to go home quickly.

*

“… come in.”

Ellis called me to his house to apologize personally.

To be honest, I received an apology directly from Isaac, so it doesn’t really matter… For now, I followed Ellis.

I came here for a massage just a few days ago, but I’m still nervous about entering the heroine’s house.

Alice’s room was clean, but her desk was dirty.

He must have rushed out from work, but there were documents lying around and he was writing something on his laptop.

Ellis took the empty wine glass, shook it a few times, and then sat down.

“I’m sorry. My dad isn’t normal… he suffered because of me.”

“No, it was a good experience.”

Fighting a strong opponent is always a good experience.

If the opponent was Isaac, it would be even better because he wouldn’t have had any intention of killing me.

“….”

But Ellis slightly puffed out her cheeks as if she was dissatisfied with what I said.

“then no.”

“uh?”

“If you’ve done something worthy of an apology, you should receive an apology. It’s not okay to get off like that.”

“….”

“That’s right. Why do you say it’s okay for me to pry on you? This time, my dad, whom I’ve never known before, came to me and threatened my life, but you said it was okay. Are you just pretending to be nice? Or are you being a brat?”

What happened all of a sudden?

Ellis suddenly started admonishing me.

★Heroine status window

[Ellis]

-[Likeability: 79]

-[Liberty: 88]

-[Appetite: 30]

-[Fatigue: 59]

Current status: You can’t be such a soft man. It lacks firmness.

“hmm….”

I was confident in my own strength.

Come to think of it, I guess so.

Since I am in a position to target heroines, there are many things I have no choice but to lose.

and… Actually, I’m not very angry.

I don’t know if my personality became strange when I became the main character.

But what should I do to not get angry?

“How can I not be angry?”

“… Why? Like when the student council talks rudely to you or when you fight with the vice president. When you get angry, you show it.”

Ellis seems to not understand me.

Is this a process of checking whether he is a man worth liking?

“hmm….”

There were definitely times like that.

It’s not that I can’t be angry.

‘ah.’

I finally realized the difference between then and now.

He realized that a pretty woman is pretty no matter what she does.

That’s why I don’t get angry no matter how much Liliana teases me.

It’s just cute.

The same thing happened when Isaac attacked me.

After I found out that it was related to Ellis, I stopped being angry.

“Should I say they are unattractive? They make me angry.”

“What are you… Ha, yes. You definitely resemble your father.”

What are you talking about?

Ellis placed her palm on her slightly red cheek, then opened her mouth again.

“So why are you so interested in that centaur? I was planning on giving him a bigger reward.”

I’m also curious about your obsession with centaurs.

Other people might find it funny.

It looks like they are offering to help by buying it.

Fortunately, I have an excuse prepared for this.

“Centaurs are just… a personal curiosity. It has to do with magic research.”

“As expected, the genius wizard is different.”

Ellis smiled slightly and put her hand to the wine.

I think the intention is to pour it into the glass in front of me.

I stare blankly at Ellis pouring wine, and now that I see her hands and face, I really like her complexion.

Was the massage you had last time that good?

“That’s right. How was the effect of the mana massage? I tried quite hard last time.”

I caressed it really hard.

It was a shame that we couldn’t have sex, but when I think about it, if we had had sex back then, would Ellis have come to save me today?

They may have come to rescue me, but there is also a possibility that they are not.

When Ellis heard me, her hand that was pouring wine stopped for a moment, and then she lowered her hand after pouring the wine again.

“… It was good. The effect was definitely amazing. Great, that’s right. Now that you’re here, do you want to go get a massage? I wasn’t planning on doing that, but it’s convenient to just do it while you’re here.”

“….”

I wondered why he called me to his house, but was it because of the massage?

Ellis looked at me.

Now I see that there is a massage bed spread out behind the bed.

You’ve even finished preparing.

But it’s a bit hard to do now.

“I don’t care… Has the massage from last time already worn off?”

“uh?”

Ellis paused, as if slightly embarrassed by my words.

“No. Not really… Mana still works well.”

of course.

How hard did you work on providing additional services at that time?

There’s no way it’s going to be resolved already.

“It’s not good to do this too often. Call me when you feel a little better.”

“Okay, I get it.”

When I see Alice looking sad, I want to attack her right away… .

I just met Isaac and it’s too scary to do that.

What should I do if I even see it?

I don’t want to die already.

It’s not too late to do it when it’s a little safer.

We drank wine and had a proper chat for the first time in a while, other than just talking about massages.

Since I knew Alice’s tastes, it was enough to have a pleasant conversation with each other.

*

After finishing the conversation, I left Ellis’ mansion and headed to the dormitory.

It’s fun to talk with a beautiful woman for a long time, but Ellis also had work to do and I didn’t want to be too late, so I hung up and parted ways.

“It’s so hard.”

The problem is that each day is so full these days.

I wish incidents would stop happening.

I miss the old days when I would normally play with Liliana and then fall asleep.

Tsk.

As I was walking slowly, I remembered the purpose of today’s outing.

“Mr. Ai, I didn’t see the house after all.”

When I came out to look at the house I was moving to, I ended up drinking wine and chatting with Ellis.

Of course, the conversation with Ellis was good, but… I need to see the house.

“Should I go see it now?”

At that time, I heard a familiar voice next to me.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean home.”

“You’re not surprised, after all.”

“Of course I knew you were following me.”

I said it out loud because I knew Scarlett was behind me, otherwise I would have thought it to myself.

When I looked to the side, I saw Scarlett standing there looking angry because her hiding had been discovered again.

“Isaac, or Mr. Isaac?”

“He went to meet the head of the Korean branch. No matter how much I think about it, he said there is no other place he can stay. He will probably leave the country right away. He doesn’t have a lot of time, so….”

“Hmm. Thank goodness.”

I don’t know why the Korean branch manager is coming out, but he will figure it out.

Because it’s an internal situation within the guild.

If Isaac returns, will Scarlett be able to join the house again?

“Now I can see Liliana and Dahee often. But it won’t be like before, right?”

“No. From now on, we will have more free time at work, so we can be together like before.”

“Oh, thank goodness.”

When Scarlett comes, there is even more reason to move.

“But before that….”

Scarlett stopped walking and looked at me, bending her waist at a 90 degree angle.

“I’m sorry, Hoenn.”

“huh?”

“I should have done better….”

Why is he like this all of a sudden?

“Is it because Mr. Isaac attacked me?”

“… Yes. Actually, I revealed information about Hoenn. Although there were circumstances, a mistake is a mistake.”

Scarlett seemed to be reflecting and bowed further to apologize.

“Okay, get up. It didn’t really matter anyway….”

for a moment.

I stopped talking and thought about it.

I shouldn’t let it all go over like this.

As Ellis said, there is a need to be angry, even if just a little.

Let’s take this opportunity to practice.

“If you’re sorry, please do me a favor.”

“…A favor?”

Scarlett looked at my face, slightly covering her breasts.

“No, that’s not it. Just find my new house. I was planning on going out to look for it today, but I couldn’t see it because of Isaac.”

“Ah… that’s surprising. I can do that much.”

It’s so unexpected.

“I don’t always ask for your body.”

“No, that’s not it… I understand.”

“…?”

Scarlett nodded, saying something strangely disturbing.

What are you thinking that makes you look like that?

Didn’t I say that because I only identified women?

Ding-

Then something appeared before my eyes.

★ Heroine status window

[Scarlett]

– [Likeability: 55]

– [Sexual drive: 30]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 40]

Current status: I thought everyone would accept a pretty girl’s apology, but that wasn’t the case. Should I find another way?

“oh….”

“Why are you looking at me so obviously?”

Scarlett also has a status window.

Perhaps it’s because my influence on the world has increased as I become more involved with Isaac and Ellis?

‘But my thoughts are a bit impure.’

Anyone who sees me will think I’m a water buffalo that runs at the sight of a woman.

“It’s too much.”

“yes?”

Scarlett tilted her head as if she knew nothing.

“Tsk. No. No.”

That kind of appearance has its own charm, right?

He’s usually calculating, but he helps me when it’s important.

It was a great help when attacking Nam Da-eun. He helps me with a lot of miscellaneous tasks.

I had no idea that a relationship I met through a fraudulent contract would develop like this.

Anyway, I was already feeling quite grateful to Scarlett.

“Thank you as always, Scarlett. Please take good care of my house.”

I greeted Scarlett with gratitude, and Scarlett smiled as always.

“Yes, Hoyeon. I will also have fun working.”

It’s surprising now, though.

It sure seems like all the blonde women around me are pretty.
