Saturday morning.

“Ugh….”

Imsol opened the lab window and shielded his eyes from the first sunlight he had seen in a week.

A week dedicated to research, cut off from the outside world.

After obtaining quite significant results in his magic research, Imsol decided to take a short break.

Besides, I had to prepare for final exams soon, so I had no choice but to take the time.

But before that.

“… hungry.”

Imsol, who had not had a proper meal for a week, held her stomach from the feeling of hunger.

In order not to interfere with the research, teaching assistants were also banned from entering, so of course there was no one to take care of Imsol’s meals.

Imsol, who was rummaging through the drawers to get something to eat, felt dizzy for a moment.

dump-

Imsol fell to the floor.

My eyelids were heavy and I had no strength in my legs.

I didn’t even eat, so I couldn’t have slept properly.

“…I can’t do it.”

Did I focus too much on research?

Only then did Imsol realize the state of his body.

Every cell in my body was screaming for help.

I just wanted to fall asleep like this, but if I did that, I might never be able to open my eyes.

“….’

Lim Sol picked up his smartwatch to ask someone else for help.

As she was about to send an emergency rescue request, she remembered something more effective than emergency rescue.

Among her acquaintances, there was only one person who could solve both hunger and medical treatment, and she never ignores their contact even though she is in the middle of her workday.

Lim Sol fell to the floor and tapped hard on his smartwatch.

*

“Ah, do it.”

“…yum.”

Yum Yum.

Baek Ah-young sighed as she watched Im Sol eat the porridge she had cooked.

I suddenly called to ask for help, so I came to ask what was going on, and I was so surprised when I saw Imsol lying on the floor, on the verge of losing consciousness.

Baek A-young pointed at Im Sol while holding a spoon.

“Are you really crazy? I didn’t hear from you for a week, so I did something, but what if you try to commit suicide? People die if they don’t eat or sleep for a week!”

“Sorry.”

“It’s not ‘I’m sorry’… Sigh, you need to be careful. If it wasn’t for me, you’d be in real danger.”

It’s a shame because the person Im Sol contacted was Baek A-young, and she happened to be around here.

If it had been an ordinary emergency rescue team, Lim Sol’s life might have been in danger due to the delay in response.

“Ugh, I know. Thank you, Ayoung.”

“…Okay. What have you been doing for a week?”

“Magic research. Would you like to take a look?”

“No, no. Sol, if you use magic now, you’ll be in big trouble. Don’t ever do that. Eat this.”

“Ugh.”

Baek Ah-young calmed down Imsol by covering her mouth with a spoon as she tried to use her magic.

Among the patients, the most tired were those who did not realize that they were patients, and this was exactly the case.

The type whose body is broken but whose mind is clear.

Baek Ah-young sent a message to the medical team that she would be late and looked at Lim Sol.

“What are you going to do with all the work that’s piled up over the week? There’s a test coming up. Have you done all the test questions?”

“You have to think about that from now on.”

“….”

Baek Ah-young laughed as if it were absurd as she watched Imsol calmly checking his smartwatch.

It was a comedy to see a friend with such a distinct personality up close.

“There are a lot of contacts.”

“Of course. We went on a hiatus for a week without saying a word. I heard you didn’t even contact me at all except for a few close friends.”

“The situation was that urgent. I had to start research before the realization disappeared.”

“Yes, yes. I guess so.”

Baek Ayoung shook her head.

It was difficult for her to understand the world of wizards.

Moreover, seeing Imsol smiling brightly made me want to joke around.

“What did you see that made you smile like that? Show me too.”

“No. I just have a lot of backlogs.”

Imsol smiled when she saw the man’s message pinned at the top among the piled up messages.

Even though there was no reply, my heart warmed when I saw the greeting messages sent once a day.

– Me: How is my student? Sorry for the late reply because the research is now over. Sorry.

Imsol cautiously sent a reply.

This is because I just discovered that there was a typo in the last message.

“What? Show me too….”

Baek Ah-young put her head next to Imsol, who was lying down, and took a peek at Imsol’s smartwatch, and found a familiar name on Imsol’s screen.

At the same time, Lim Sol and Baek Ayoung’s eyes met, and Baek Ayoung frowned and put down her spoon.

“I’m going.”

“Ayoung… I’m hungry.”

“… ha.”

“town.”

Baek Ah-young quietly scooped up the porridge and put it in Im Sol’s mouth.

Yum Yum.

Imsol took the porridge without saying a word, chewed it thoroughly, and then opened his mouth.

“Ayoung.”

“….””

“Ayoung?”

“Ha. I don’t know. I don’t know. There is absolutely no compromise.”

Baek Ah-young avoided her eyes while looking at Im Sol.

Even if she didn’t completely prevent other women from joining Lee Ho-yeon, she had no intention of losing the first spot.

“I’m not going to stay still, am I?”

Of course, that was the same for Imsol as well.

“You knew I liked you first, Sol. This is against the rules.”

“If that’s the case, you know you’re not the first, right?”

“…it’s not important.”

What matters is the size of love.

I thought Baek A-young was giving Lee Ho-yeon more love than anyone else.

“Wait a minute, Ayoung. Rather, we should cooperate among ourselves. We have to compete with other young girls, so we should stick together.”

“What is that….”

“Sometimes you feel anxious, don’t you? The more times like this….”

Baek Ah-young wanted to express her disappointment to Im Sol.

Because I had to appeal that I came first in such a trivial place.

But Imsol didn’t think so.

Anyway, I had no choice but Lee Ho-yeon.

If so, we had to increase the possibility as much as possible.

If you must include another woman, it might be better to include your best friend.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I will help you….”

In this way, the coalition of adults targeting Lee Ho-yeon was completed.

Saturday morning.

Conditions were excellent.

The results of yesterday’s meditation were good, and since I haven’t been in a proper battle lately, I have a lot of magical power.

As I got stronger, I became less concerned about the amount of mana.

“But what about you, Scarlett?”

I looked at the strange person who said he was a guide and was ready for battle.

“Of course, I am a member of the Iris Guild who is considered an ace.”

“okay?”

“Yes. Besides, I’ve been practicing hiding my presence from Hoyeon lately, and I think my skills have improved.”

“… I’m glad.”

I looked at Scarlett and sighed.

He’s becoming stronger by teasing me, and that’s not a typical thing, he’s really good at it.

Then Liliana grabbed my arm.

“Let’s go quickly! Quickly!”

“We are ready. All you have to do is transform.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

Pow-

I put Liliana around my neck and followed Scarlett.

There were several charter planes that I boarded last time parked in a large yard, so they were probably traveling on these.

“Is it okay to spend this much money just to support terrorism?”

“For us, time is money.”

“Hmm….”

– This was really fast. wow-

Pat pat-

I pet Liliana and approached the plane.

There were quite a few faces I had never seen before, probably members of the tracking team.

I approached the guild leader Isaac, a face I barely knew.

“Guild leader.”

“Huh? Oh, you’re finally here. Ellis will be here soon, so please take care of him.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

Thump-thump-

Isaac smiled and tapped my shoulder.

I was a little taken aback because he suddenly seemed so friendly, but I also bowed my head and said hello.

Jiying-

At that time, I felt someone’s gaze next to me and slowly turned my head.

Swish-

The moment I turned my head, I saw Irene’s back.

“…?”

what.

I think I just moved my head slightly.

As I waited quietly, looking at Irene, Irene turned her head slightly and made eye contact with me.

Her pupils got bigger and she averted her eyes, as if she couldn’t see.

‘what?’

I looked in Irene’s direction to see if Ellis had come, but of course there was no one.

Moreover, when I returned my view to normal, Irene had already disappeared.

… Is it a ghost?

“Hey. Isn’t that Miss Ellis over there?”

“Oh? That’s it. We’re finally leaving.”

“But the lady’s clothes are a bit strange?”

Although Irene’s behavior was a bit uncomfortable, I couldn’t ignore the name Ellis I heard next to me.

I quickly turned my head in that direction and saw a person walking from afar.

He wears a high-quality artifact sword that he doesn’t normally carry around his waist, and protectors on his elbows and knees.

A strange protective gear with blonde hair sticking out of its head.

I saw Alice walking towards me, dressed in clothes I had never seen before.

“My daughter! You’re here!”

“Elise. You’re so pretty.”

“….”

– What is that? Are you going for a bike ride?

I rubbed my eyes and looked at Ellis again.

Unfortunately, that didn’t mean those strange protective equipment disappeared.

Ellis walked up to Isaac and started a conversation, and I quietly whispered to Scarlett.

“Scarlett.”

“yes.”

“Shouldn’t that be stopped?”

“Unfortunately, Hoyeon is the only person here who can talk to Lady Ellis.”

“…I guess so.”

The Iris guild members were averting their eyes with a nervous look on their faces, and the guild leader and Irene, who could talk to Ellis, were telling her that they liked it.

okay. In the end, I guess I have to do it.

I smiled as I saw Ellis coming towards me.

Looking at it up close, each one certainly looked like a high-quality artifact.

The problem is that all of those things come together and you don’t have a good outward appearance.

“Elise. You worked hard to prepare.”

“Yes. Dad recommended it.”

The culprit was that person.

No, it would be difficult to stop you if you do this.

The guild leader even told me to remove something he recommended for my daughter’s safety because I wasn’t very outgoing.

“… I guess it’s safe.”

“Really? I’m glad that’s the way you see it.”

“….”

Ellis smiled as if my compliment pleased him.

This is not the mood to talk about this.

Well, okay.

I didn’t just mean it as a compliment, but if you like it, it’s okay.

Since no one was uncomfortable, I decided not to say anything about the discomfort.

– Strange. It’s even weirder when you look at it up close.

“Quiet.”

I turned my eyes to see the blond hair and joint guards coming through the armor.
