Tuesday night.

Pandemic’s executives gathered in the hideout focused on the Maestro’s words.

“It’s going very well. In particular, the name of the pandemic is spreading around the world, and our apostle is also working hard.”

Wow- ahhh-

Rebecca lowered her head, ignoring the painful groans coming from outside the conference room.

Rebecca hated coming here because of the horrible sounds she couldn’t hear when she was brainwashed.

“however….”

At that time, the Maestro frowned.

“Why are there so many failures on the Korean side? Especially around the Academy… Since Reinhardt was captured this time, two executives have already been killed.”

Gil Stephen and Reinhardt.

Since two people had already been sacrificed, the Maestro could not help but feel doubtful.

“Rebecca. What is the reason for frequent failures at Victoria Academy?”

The Maestro looked at Rebecca with a relaxed face.

“… I understand that Reinhardt was betrayed.”

“Rebecca.”

“Sigh?!”

Kuuk-

Rebecca grabbed her neck as the Maestro spoke.

This was because I could not breathe due to the magic around me.

It was a very weak magical power that could be shaken off right away, but there was no way to resist here.

Because I couldn’t be caught escaping from brainwashing.

“I know Reinhardt was betrayed. The problem is you.”

The Maestro raised his magic power.

He was even more brainwashed so that if he betrayed himself, he would rip out his own heart out of guilt.

“Have you betrayed me?”

“Okay, well… no. I….”

Rebecca’s consciousness gradually faded.

The Maestro watched Rebecca, and just before she lost consciousness, the Maestro released his magic power.

dump-

“The brainwashing is still in effect… Maybe it was just a lack of ability. You bastards are trash.”

The Maestro began talking to himself, leaving Rebecca sprawled out on the chair.

Since everyone was under his brainwashing anyway, there was no need to worry about Rebecca or other executives.

“The root of all evil. We need more sacrifices for the apostle. A little faster. No, for the apostle’s sake. We need to quickly get rid of people like cancer cells. Dirty bastards. But we have no obligation to protect them. Maybe this too….”

The Maestro started talking nonsense as usual, then folded his hands and began to pray.

‘You crazy bastard.’

Rebecca, who saw that, cursed inwardly.

But the good news is that I didn’t notice that I had escaped the brainwashing.

Rebecca wanted to leave this place quickly.

I need to go to France right away and support my baby’s father.

‘Should we move a little safer? Or should I just run away quickly?’

There was a lot to take away from the pandemic right now, so I wanted to stay a little longer.

“Caddish.”

“yes!”

As Rebecca was thinking about her future plans, one of the executives jumped up at the Maestro’s call after he had finished praying.

“For now, let’s focus on the Apostle. Let France provide support for the Apostle.”

While being guided through the interior of the Iris Guild.

I quietly spoke to Scarlett, who was walking ahead.

“… Scarlett. Why are you here?”

“I’m still a member of the Iris guild.”

“No, I know that.”

“Shh. Sebas-chan might hear, so please follow my instructions. We don’t officially know each other.”

I glanced back.

Sebas Chan was watching me chatting with Scarlett from behind, and it certainly didn’t look like there was any good in being caught.

“…Okay. You’re not asking me to do anything strange, are you?”

“It’s not strange, but um, it might be a little bothersome.”

Scarlett smiled slightly and walked ahead.

okay. It’s not difficult, and you can endure as much hassle as you want.

I walked around the guild following Scarlett’s guidance.

To be honest, I was nervous about where they would take me, but it was nothing more than a purely guild-internal guide.

First, the Iris Guild conference room.

In a conference room with a large window on one wall, there were luxurious chairs and tables, and men who appeared to be Iris guild members were gathered together and watching the monitor.

And as soon as I came in, he grabbed his head and shook it.

“Oh my god. How can they make a drama like this?!”

“Octopus Game! K-Drama is so fun!”

“…?”

Next to the conference room is the Iris Guild’s restaurant.

I was a bit hungry, but that’s a good thing.

This place was like a restaurant for billionaires that you only see in movies.

Wine was placed on one wall, and fish were floating on the other wall like in an aquarium.

“What is this?! Is it kimchi?”

“Bulgogi! Kimchi! K-food is delicious!”

“….”

And inside such a high-end restaurant, people who appeared to be Iris Guild members were eating kimchi with big smiles.

Those people are definitely the people who were watching the drama in the conference room earlier.

When did you get here?

– Do you think those people are crying while eating kimchi?

“… I saw it too.”

Liliana, who was hanging around my neck, also expressed her doubts.

I followed Scarlett into the restaurant, seriously wondering what the situation was.

Scarlett smiled and spoke to me.

“The restaurant serves Korean food these days, and the reviews are very good. That person was also dispatched today, and he said it was so delicious that he even shed tears.”

“… Ah, yes. I see.”

– Human hospitality is poor. If she were a succubus, she wouldn’t have been treated so poorly.

‘i think so too. Liliana.’

What is this?

Hidden Cameras?

Is a lover with a microphone popping out from behind that pillar with a camera?

When I looked at Scarlett in an incomprehensible situation, I noticed the corners of her mouth twitching.

I walked closer to Scarlett and whispered so only she could hear.

“…Scarlett.”

“I told you it would be a bother. And I said it definitely wasn’t. I’m just doing it because I’m being told to do it from above.”

Scarlett responded as if she felt unfair.

When I slowly turned my head, I saw Sebas-chan in the distance nodding with a happy smile.

“Ha… If I were 10 years older, it might have worked, but now it’s a bit much.”

No, even if I were 10 years older, I wouldn’t be fooled by stupid acting like that.

At least bring an actor.

“Oh my god! Archery! Soccer! BTX!”

“….”

Seeing Iris guild members eating kimchi and watching idol music videos now gave me a headache.

I pressed my eyebrows and spoke to Scarlett.

“… Mr. Scarlett. I’m hungry. Can’t I eat something?”

“Kimchi and bulgogi set meals are available.”

“No, I want to eat French food….”

– I want to eat a baguette too. Parisian baguettes… .

Swoosh- Swoosh-

I patted Liliana, who had turned into a necklace. He’s probably hungry too, so I should find the opportunity and give him something to eat.

“You were here?”

At that time, a woman’s voice was heard.

As I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, seeing Scarlett’s eyes widen as she stood in front of me, a beautiful blonde woman caught my eye.

“Miss Irene. Are you here?”

“Yeah. It’s been a while. Scarlett, how are you?”

“Yes. Thanks to you, young lady.”

“What did I do? Oh, is this Cadet Lee Ho-yeon?”

Irene approached me with a kind smile.

Looking at him this way, he seems like a very nice person, but knowing this person’s true nature, I was a little scared.

“Nice to meet you, Irene. Personally, I was your fan and it’s an honor.”

I bowed slightly and said hello.

Of course, I wasn’t a fan or anything, but I was confident that I could answer any question.

Because I remember all the information from the original work and the news I picked up after being possessed.

-What is this woman? Why are you so pretty?

Liliana’s voice of surprise was clearly heard in my ears.

I was surprised too.

It looks really pretty in person.

Only at this level can she be called Alice’s older sister.

“Nice to meet you. You’re Alice’s friend, right?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Yes. I am Ellis’ older sister and the leader of Team 1 of the Iris Guild… Oh, I said I was a fan, right? Then I understand. Anyway, please take care of me.”

Oops about Irene. He smiled and held out his hand to me.

Even though it didn’t look like it was made up, it was so cute that I swallowed my saliva.

“thank you.”

I held his hand as naturally as possible and shook it up and down lightly.

Your hands are soft too.

Certainly, if it were an ordinary man, he would have passed over it as soon as he saw it.

I’ve seen a lot of heroines, and thanks to my calmness, I’m okay with it.

‘Why is it like that again?’

Over Irene’s shoulder, Sebas Chan and Scarlett were covering their mouths with their eyes wide open.

Have you seen a ghost?

“You said you were joining the centaur tracking team, right? I’m also part of the tracking team, so I’ll see you often.”

“That’s it.”

“Hmm.”

Irene nodded at me, then turned her head to look at Sebastian.

“Sebas-chan. I need to talk to him.”

“Miss. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon is the guild leader….”

“Seup. Say I took you. Come on, let’s go.”

“uh….”

Irene turned around and headed outside the restaurant.

Sebas-chan was staring at the scene blankly, and Scarlett made eye contact with me and gently waved her hand at Sebas-chan’s square.

Well, I’m sure I’ll see some weird stuff if I stay here, so I guess I’ll just go.

Because I didn’t come to see the guild.

I wonder what that person will say.

I followed Irene out of the restaurant.

*

“Ha, what are you doing? Hey, do we have to go this far? Irene is there, so why do we even have to bow our heads…”

A male guild member who had just been scooping up kimchi muttered as he came out of the restaurant.

I didn’t come to the Iris Guild to do anything like this.

He, who was treated as an ace, is now eating kimchi.

“Shut up. I told you. You should pay more attention to the information. He’s the number one recruit.”

“Lee Ho-yeon is like that?”

“Of course. Don’t you know that I had a meeting with the guild leader?”

“Interview? Really?”

“Yes. So just do as I tell you.”

“Fuck….”

The woman who shot the man recalled the time she met the guild leader.

The time when the guild leader was yelling at me to somehow recruit Lee Ho-yeon was an experience that made me tremble just thinking about it.

“By the way, did you see it?”

“What?”

“Irene shook your hand.”

“Oh, that’s right. I was surprised to see that too. What’s wrong with someone who doesn’t shake hands even when the president comes?”

“A face too?”

“Oh, no way…. Huh? Is that so?”

Although it was surprising that Irene, who pathologically disliked physical contact with others, willingly shook hands, it was not a big deal to them.

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

“Huh? Uh! Miss Ellis!”

“Oh my, are you here?”

At that time, Ellis, who had wandered around inside the guild for the first time in a long time and finally made it to the restaurant, saw some familiar faces and started talking to them.

Fortunately, I was able to talk to them comfortably because they were guild members I had met before.

“Yeah. Where are Scarlett and Hoyeon Lee now?”

Seeing that there was kimchi in the restaurant means that Hoyeon Lee was in the restaurant just a moment ago.

“Ah. Cadet Hoyeon Lee went to the lobby with Lady Irene.”

“What? With your sister?”

“Yes, yes. We don’t know the details either.”

“…Okay. You said Robbie, right? Thank you.”

Ellis walked straight ahead, biting her lip slightly.

‘Did you meet your sister while you were there to make a phone call?’

She wanted to think that they had just met to say hello, but for some reason, an unexplainable feeling of anxiety filled her heart.

Picking up the pace a little more, Ellis headed toward the lobby.

“Miss? It’s not that way, it’s that way.”

“… Ah, yes. Sorry. It’s been a while since I came here so I got confused.”

The guild members who were watching Ellis walking in the right direction looked at each other and smiled slightly.

“The lady is still the same.”

“That’s what makes it even cuter.”

The two headed on their way, chatting about the cute girl.
