“Eye. Are you afraid I’m going to eat something? Why are you following me?”

Irene pushed me on my back and dragged me to the living room next to the lobby and sat down across from me.

Outside the glass living room, Sebas Chan and Scarlett, who had eventually followed us, were standing looking towards us. Irene watched them for a moment and then smiled at me.

“I had a hard time receiving a strange welcome. The guild leader insisted… Oh, would you like to have a drink?”

“It’s okay. Do you have something to say?”

I looked into Irene’s eyes and tried to talk to her.

This is not the time to drink or eat anything.

I need to hear what this foxy woman has to say to me.

“Ugh. It’s nothing special, we’ve been seeing each other for at least a week because of the centaur, so I wanted to talk to you.”

“Ah. If that’s the case, it’s okay.”

It was surprisingly an ordinary conversation.

thank god.

“How did you meet Ellis?”

“We first met at the student council and then became friends during the survival test.”

“Aha… I heard they are also doing massages now.”

“Yes. I am confident in my ability to manipulate mana.”

Although the conversation with Irene seemed normal so far, I never let go of the tension.

Because you never know when a strange question might be asked.

“Now that you think about it, what do you think about Ellis? Do you have any intention of dating her? If Ho-yeon is that good, I agree with her.”

Irene smiled and said to me.

‘You’re here.’

This is a trap.

The moment I get caught, Irene’s favorability towards me is fixed at 0.

Of course, I already had the perfect answer in mind.

“Elise and I are just friends.”

“During a massage, you will have the opportunity to touch your body, but are you sure you don’t feel like it?”

“They are doing it with the mindset of a professional. They get paid a lot, but they can’t do that.”

“It’s not normal for you not to get excited after seeing such a pretty body. I feel a little bad.”

“….”

What should I do, you crazy bitch?

But that doesn’t mean you can say your sister is a bitch.

‘Still, it’s better to be a bad guy.’

I don’t know what will happen if I say I like Ellis.

I have no desire to become a romantic enemy.

“Enough with the jokes, I’ll get back to work. What is the purpose of seeing the centaur?”

“This is personal research. I also told the guild leader.”

Irene smiled brightly and asked a question, and I calmly came up with the answer I had prepared.

It’s a well-known fact that wizards conduct strange research.

“But, I don’t believe that.”

“… yes?”

“The guild leader told me to accept you, but I think differently. How can I trust and accept you?”

“I already got permission from the guild leader?”

“It might be annoying, but I can stop it. Dad loves me and Ellis.”

“….”

– Well, there are all these women! Hoyeon Lee! Kill it!

Liliana got angry, and Irene laughed mischievously.

She really isn’t easy.

When I asked Elise where she learned to trust faces and be picky, it was clear that she learned it from her older sister.

Because even if I say it like that, I don’t really hate it.

No, to be precise, I am less angry because she is pretty even though she is ugly.

“Ha, what do you want?”

You probably aren’t curious about my purpose anyway.

There’s no way the Iris Guild didn’t investigate my background.

If a problem arose during that process, I would have broken off the relationship from the beginning.

It means that the back is already clean from the moment I arrive at the Iris Guild, but coming out like that means there is something I want.

“Cooperate with me. It’s good news for you too.”

I nodded and focused on Irene’s words.

“Elise will definitely want to use this opportunity to experience the real thing. She happened to be here to experience it with you, so she would definitely say that.”

“….”

“If that happens, my father will just pretend to join in for Ellis’ sake. The centaur tracking team is very dangerous.”

“… yes.”

is it?

I was worried while listening to Irene.

If you think about it, it might make sense.

But there is something Irene cannot think of.

Actually, my goal is to see the centaur’s magic itself.

No matter how roughly you track it, you will still see the centaur’s face.

From that moment on, Liliana and I can track it down.

“So. Instead of putting you on a proper tracking team, there’s something I need to listen to.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

But the conversation didn’t stop.

I wanted to know what Irene was trying to say.

“Elise must be removed from the tracking team at all costs. They can never be taken away. You must convince her.”

“ah.”

I was wondering why you were talking so hard, but now I understand.

I guess you did it so as not to put Ellis in any danger.

What a great friendship you had.

“Isn’t that too overprotective? The guild leader and Irene… Ellis also needs to gain experience. Besides, there won’t be many situations where Alice will be in danger.”

“Huh? No, no. Ellis will inherit the guild later, so she shouldn’t be in any danger. I’ll take care of all the practical work. I’ll just let her live her life happily.”

“….”

– This woman’s eyes are scary. Hoyeon Lee. I want to run away quickly… .

Liliana’s words are not an exaggeration. I was scared too.

It’s like a crazy nobleman from the Middle Ages who locked the woman he loved in a castle and just looked at her.

The Irene I met in person was definitely strange.

“So what are you going to do? Centaur. I miss you.”

“Yes, but….”

Since Liliana’s matter needs to be resolved as a top priority, I need to see the centaur.

The problem is that I was screaming that I would let Ellis gain experience as well.

Of course, you can ignore Irene’s words and do whatever you want.

It’s good for Ellis to have his first real battle, and it’s good for me to see Centaur as well.

But Irene won’t look kindly on me if I do that.

The moment I heard this proposal, I had to either be on Irene’s side or be her enemy.

‘I don’t even want to be hostile.’

Irene is incredibly strong, so it’s difficult for me to attack her now.

Moreover, I don’t want to have a conflict with Irene, an executive at the Iris Guild and Alice’s older sister.

At that time, I was wondering how to act.

“sister…!”

“Oh my, it’s been a while. Ellis.”

The living room door burst open and Ellis came in.

Has the call finally ended?

Ellis stood next to me and glared at Irene.

Ellis, with a displeased expression, slowly opened her mouth.

“… What if you take my guest away?”

“What are you talking about, Ellis? Hoyeon is a guest of the Iris Guild.”

“….”

“Anyway, Hoyeon is really cool. I like it.”

“… So what.”

“Why is your face so stiff? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Anyway, see you next time, Hoyeon. I’ll ask you to guide the rest of the guild. Ellis?”

After greeting me, Irene tapped Ellis on the shoulder and disappeared with the sound of her shoes clicking.

“…Whew.”

When I looked outside through the glass, the figures of Sebas Chan and Scarlett had disappeared.

Did I hear some nagging from Ellis?

Ellis, who was taking a deep breath as she watched Irene leave, frowned and quickly turned her head to look at me.

“What did you and your sister talk about?”

“He didn’t say anything. Just about the centaur. He was very worried about you.”

“I told you. You can never fall for that look. Do you understand? Everyone who smiles like that is a fox. Never. Never!”

“It won’t fall out.”

“I’m lying. I’ve already seen it. I’m in love with it.”

Ellis looked at me with cold eyes.

This is so unfair.

What did I do?

“… It’s not really. I saw you for the first time today, so how can I fall in love with you?”

“I don’t know anyone who likes pretty girls as much as you. No matter what, you can’t touch my sister.”

Ellis is having a hard time too.

It wasn’t like Ellis, who usually had a strong sense of pride. Her inferiority complex towards her sister is clearly visible.

Still, I guess I should say I’m glad I didn’t feel intimidated.

I calmly calmed Ellis down.

“I don’t just turn my eyes away when I see a pretty girl. You’re pretty too, but you stay still.”

“… You are prettier than me. You have a better personality.”

“I know you have a bad personality. Still, out of all the people I know, you have the best looks. I don’t know about your personality.”

“….”

Ellis bit her lip and hesitated at my words, then averted her eyes and turned back.

“… Follow me. The guild leader says he can’t come today. I’ll take you to the dorm.”

-His ears turned red. You must be embarrassed.

After all, praise always works well.

I followed Alice as she walked with her ears turning red.

*

The assigned accommodation was quite spacious.

It is similar in size to the dormitory at the academy where I used to live.

In other words, it was the optimal place for Liliana to appear.

After setting up the rune barrier and making sure the surroundings were safe, I tapped on the necklace.

Pow-

Liliana, who came out with a puff of smoke, fell to the floor.

“Ha, haa… it’s hot. Why can’t she find the accommodation right in front of us?”

“I had a hard time. Was it hot? I couldn’t even speak, so it must have been frustrating.”

“No. I just tried it. There’s no way the necklace can feel the temperature.”

Rattling-

Liliana lay down on the bed without even changing her clothes.

It was a casual outfit of a white short-sleeved T-shirt and short pants, but if you’re going to do that, just wear sweats.

Of course, I understand because I was tired.

I sat down on the bed and rubbed Liliana’s firm thighs.

I’m happy to have a woman I can touch when I want to.

“Let’s go out and buy something delicious later.”

“Huh. Okay. I want to eat bread.”

“Okay, okay. Eat whatever you want.”

I should at least go look around to think about gifts for the kids.

It’s my first time abroad, so I’m excited too.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I don’t even know where this place is. Let’s look for it and then go out.”

“I’ll look for it!”

Since I used a chartered plane and landed right in the front yard, I don’t know the surrounding geography.

Liliana was tapping away at a Parisian bakery while tapping on her smart watch. Is this really Paris?

Knock knock-

Then someone knocked on the door.

Familiar magical response.

This was Scarlett’s magic.

“come in!”

As I expected, it was Scarlett who opened the door and came in.

Scarlett was wearing the professional office girl outfit from earlier.

“Hoyeon. Did you enjoy our welcome?”

“Yes. Thanks to you, I had a good time. Is it a rule for the Iris Guild to treat people this way?”

“Well, I was chosen to be a guide because I had the looks that Hoyeon would like. It was my first time as a guide.”

“…Did Mr. Isaac choose it?”

“yes.”

“It’s a good choice. Hey.”

That guy has eyes.

Because I’m a playboy, I know pretty girls well.

“By the way, welcome, Scarlett. Would you like to go out to dinner together? I was planning to go somewhere delicious with Liliana, so please recommend one.”

“Scout! I love bakeries. I want baguettes!”

“I will take you to a full French course.”

“Is there a full course in France?”

A junior from school told me that he would shoot a full course when he came to my hometown, so I took the train down for 3 hours and was told, ‘What should we do now?’ I hate such words, but I can trust Scarlett.

“The full course is entertainment after all! I’ll show you the entertainment abilities of a succubus!”

“Shut up, Liliana. If we catch you, we’ll dissect you.”

“Entertainment is difficult, but I will treat you properly.”

“Good, good. After all, there should be a native.”

You can enjoy the full course today.

“Ah, but I suddenly don’t want to eat baguettes. Isn’t there any chicken here? It’s French in name and appearance, but is there anything like baguette chicken?!”

“Liliana. Let’s have a baguette instead.”

After discussing the menu for several minutes, Liliana and I eventually headed to the restaurant recommended by Scarlett.
