Chapter Index

    “My baby’s dad has a lot of girlfriends, right?”

    If you were a married man, these words would naturally make your heart flutter.

    The good news is that I am not married yet.

    “… Ms. Rebecca?”

    There is only one person who calls me that.

    When I turned my head, I saw a red-haired wizard. I saw Rebecca.

    Rebecca, looking at me with slightly raised corners of her mouth, had the look of a witch who had found a good toy.

    Red hair, pure white skin, a decadent look, and strong magical power combined, so even though I knew he was a good person, I couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

    “What can I do if I work hard to teach the baby’s father about the rune barrier… and watch over him? I looked away for a moment and he was rolling around with another woman.”

    “….”

    It’s scary.

    Of course, I don’t feel like my life is in danger.

    Just a quarrel between lovers?

    Although it’s a bit harsh.

    “That’s not it. This is a promise I made a long time ago…”

    “Hmm, I guess so. You should understand because it was a rolling stone. But I didn’t know that not only was there a woman he was living with, but he also had a local girlfriend.”

    it hurts. It hurts.

    Every single word Rebecca said struck me like a dagger.

    Feeling pricked by her conscience, she slightly averted her gaze, and Rebecca shook her head, shaking her red hair.

    I opened my mouth to change the subject as best as I could.

    “… You should have at least contacted me.”

    If I had, I wouldn’t have shown such disgusting behavior.

    Besides, I’m not in a state where I can talk to Rebecca right now.

    I really think I might die.

    “You didn’t give me your contact information. The baby’s father.”

    “Ah… that’s right.”

    Only then did I give Rebecca the smart watch.

    We can exchange contact information just by meeting each other, but we can’t believe we don’t do this.

    Ding-

    Rebecca, who had exchanged contact information with her smart watch, approached me.

    “Anyway… you seem to have a lot of strength, can you do it today?”

    When we got close enough to feel each other’s breath, I started to get really scared.

    And I immediately gave an excuse that came to mind.

    “Uh, um. Aren’t you still lacking some rune barrier proficiency?”

    “How good of genes are you planning on giving me?”

    Rebecca put her fingers between my breasts and pressed them.

    From the corner of his mouth that playfully turned up, I could see a smile that wanted to tease me.

    “I can tell you’re having a hard time just by looking at your expression. I’ll look after you today. Instead, you have to do it next time.”

    “… Okay, I’ll do it right away as long as I take care of this matter.”

    Even from my point of view, it’s a bit like that.

    Anyone who sees it will think that you are doing something amazing.

    I continued, looking at Rebecca who was smiling.

    “Tsk. Is that what you came here to talk about? Or exchange contact information?”

    “Besides that, I also came to see you because I was lonely.”

    “yes?”

    This is another answer I hadn’t thought of.

    I also found Rune’s clan survivors, so why am I so lonely?

    “I checked for signs of brainwashing, just like my dad said, and all of the subordinates around me were brainwashed.”

    Rebecca smiled bitterly.

    “ah….”

    “I deliberately brought in talented young people and raised them to avoid being hit by the pandemic… but it was of no use.”

    “…..”

    I can’t guess exactly how Rebecca feels.

    Because I have never been the head of any organization.

    Still, I can understand Rebecca’s feelings as she searched for Rune’s clan in solitude.

    If the subordinates who brought him there and raised him turned out to be brainwashed, it would be depressing.

    “That’s why I can’t even pick up Rune Clan survivor Suhyun from the orphanage. I don’t know what will happen if Pandemic finds out that I found a survivor.”

    Rebecca is in partnership with Pandemic.

    Pandemic helps Rebecca find Rune’s clan, and Rebecca cooperates with Pandemic.

    Now that it hasn’t been long since the brainwashing was lifted, there’s no need to make scraps.

    “… Now is the perfect time to hug and comfort him. I can’t hug him because he’s having a hard time. Let’s have a meal together later.”

    “That’s too honest, baby daddy.”

    Rebecca smiled as if she was dumbfounded and made eye contact with me.

    “Anyway, what’s the baby’s father to do?”

    “This is a personal investigation, but this is important. Do you know about the centaur that appeared in France?”

    Centaur, the apostle of the pandemic.

    Rebecca, an executive at Pandemic, probably knows.

    “I know you very well. He’s an F-class mercenary.”

    “Yes, yes. Class F… Huh? How do you know that?”

    for a moment.

    The fact that he is an F-class mercenary is information from Liliana, who is from hell.

    Rebecca wouldn’t know?

    “Of course, those damn strong words came out of his own mouth. I don’t know for sure. I just helped the Maestro brainwash him.”

    “oh….”

    Surprisingly, he seems to know centaurs well.

    Come to think of it, this person is an executive of Pandemic.

    I don’t know how the pandemic works, but wouldn’t the executives have been there when the apostle was summoned?

    And if I wanted to, wouldn’t I be able to steal some information from Centaurs?

    “Rebecca, please help me.”

    I smiled slightly and asked Rebecca.

    *

    “Of course, a woman with ability is the best.”

    Like Lim Sol and Rebecca, talented women are the best.

    In the end, Rebecca listened to my request and decided to go back to Pandemic and collect information.

    Rebecca also said that a separate investigation is needed because she only helped with the initial brainwashing and stopped paying attention after that.

    Well, they were busy looking for Rune’s clan, so they probably didn’t bother to worry about the apostle.

    ‘… I guess I’ll have to get her pregnant when I’m done.’

    Of course, I don’t know when that will happen, but I’m thankful.

    The fact that you help me without asking for details probably shows that you have faith in me.

    Even if you’ve just met someone, you can recognize a good person.

    I’m worried about whether I can sow my seeds this easily, but wouldn’t it be okay if I grow them well? It seems unlikely that Rebecca would commit child abuse.

    It is something I will live for a long time to see when the day comes when I have to worry about this.

    ‘You haven’t lived long.’

    It’s something to live hard and see.

    Tiring-

    As I opened the dorm room and entered, I heard familiar voices.

    – Scout-! Stay still!

    – Sister, sister. This is pretty.

    I walked to the living room while listening to Liliana and Nam Dahee’s voices coming from the front door.

    “Yap. Yap.”

    “Unni. Cheer up!”

    “You’re cool.”

    In the living room, Scarlett is accepting the strange game played by Liliana and Nam Da-hee.

    In the kitchen, I saw Nam Da-eun making coffee.

    “Hoyeon is here. Would you like some coffee?”

    Nam Da-eun looked at me and took out a coffee cup.

    “Yes. Just something sweet.”

    “Oh, do you want to come and see Scarlett’s abs?”

    Liliana has made an incredibly coveted offer.

    “… no it’s okay.”

    Honestly, I really want to do it.

    A look at Scarlett’s abs.

    Scarlett must be in good shape since she used to sweat and cling to the ceiling on set.

    But I can’t bully Scarlett either.

    I decided to just sit at the table and drink the coffee Nam Da-eun gave me.

    “…mixed coffee?”

    Familiar scent and taste.

    This is the taste of coffee that Imsol has brewed countless times.

    “Yes. It’s cheap and delicious.”

    sniffling.

    Nam Da-eun smelled the coffee with a satisfied smile.

    “It’s okay even if it’s expensive, so just buy something good. Liliana has a card.”

    “No. It’s not a meal we eat together, so I have to buy something like this with money to maintain my dignity. And I bought it after looking at all the ingredients. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it’s good.”

    Seeing Nam Da-eun speaking clearly and drinking coffee, I feel like I won’t have to worry about household chores later.

    “That’s right. I wanted to ask you something. How do you eat lunch at the academy?”

    “lunch?”

    “Yes. I was wondering if you were eating well.”

    Nam Da-eun took a sip of coffee while looking into space.

    “Originally, I went to Dahee and ate with her… but this time, Dahee said she made a friend.”

    “… okay?”

    “Yes. I’m eating alone at the restaurant.”

    Ah, as expected.

    I was a little relieved to hear that I was eating with Dahee, but these days, it seems like Dahee is eating with her peers.

    I’m so glad that Da-hee has a friend, but I can’t cover Nam Da-eun.

    “… Shall we eat together? Lucy and Rumi are there too.”

    It’s something I’ll have to ask Lucy and Rumi’s twins, but… I feel uncomfortable when I hear that Nam Da-eun eats alone.

    Nam Da-eun smiled slightly at my words and placed her hand on top of my hand holding the coffee cup.

    “Don’t worry, I won’t eat with another man.”

    “No, it’s not like that. Really. I just….”

    “It’s okay. I eat together at home. I have to give time to Lucy and Rumi too.”

    Grinning.

    Nam Da-eun smiled leisurely and pressed my hand.

    “… thank you.”

    In the end, I became like a husband who was forgiven for cheating on me… but anyway, I am thankful.

    No matter how accustomed you are to eating alone, it won’t feel good to see me eating with other women.

    In fact, it’s a problem even if we ask to eat together.

    It was a similar topic to talk about with Lucy and Rumi.

    I’ll give permission, but it won’t make either of us feel good.

    “Just this much.”

    But what is that smile?

    That relaxed face that seems to say that he is ahead anyway.

    Tsk.

    I guess that’s why I’m so relaxed because I don’t know that I played 3P with Lucy Rumi today.

    I should just be quiet.

    “Hoyeon.”

    “I’m surprised.”

    At that time, Scarlett spoke from behind.

    I was so surprised that I didn’t notice because I was concentrating on the conversation with Nam Da-eun, and Scarlett looked at me with her eyes wide open and nodded.

    “Oh, Hoenn, you become less attentive when you feel sorry for a woman. I learned something.”

    “Please don’t say anything weird.”

    Looking beyond Scarlett’s body, Liliana and Nam Da-hee were already concentrating on TV.

    Aside from Nam Da-hee, why did Liliana regress to childhood?

    Are succubuses really that stupid or pure?

    “Are you done showing off your abs?”

    “… I got a call from the guild leader. It’s about centaurs.”

    I tried to make fun of Scarlett, but she got straight to the point.

    It was so important that I couldn’t ignore it.

    “Oh, what do you say?”

    Ellis’s father and father-in-law.

    Although he is a very strange person, he is a strong and capable man.

    “Actually, the search for centaurs is always ongoing… Hoenn said he can arrange a convenient time for you.”

    “Hmm….”

    I’d like to do it once Rebecca gets the information.

    “Does any time matter? I need some time.”

    “It doesn’t matter. Then I will tell the guild leader, ‘I will think about it and then tell you.’”

    “No, that’s too cheesy.”

    “Then please tell me exactly what you want to say.”

    “… You’re doing this on purpose. By teasing me with my abs.”

    “Is that possible? Do you think of me as such a boring person?”

    ★ Heroine status window

    [Scarlett]

    – [Likeability: 57]

    – [Sexual drive: 30]

    – [Appetite: 30]

    – [Fatigue: 40]

    Current status: He’s so perceptive, why does he do that to women? Are you doing this on purpose?

    Scarlett stabbed me with her heart.

    However, it is not wrong and cannot be refuted.

    In the first place, reading minds is also a secret.

    “… Huh. Okay. I’m sorry. I’m also personally investigating something. Please tell me to wait until the results come out.”

    “All right.”

    When I apologized, Scarlett also bowed her head.

    The fact that the corners of Scarlett’s mouth rose slightly as she lowered her head was probably no mistake.
