Again and again.

“Hello, Rebecca.”

“huh.”

Pandemic’s hideout.

Rebecca, who went inside while being greeted by her subordinate, frowned slightly at the musty smell.

Of course, I immediately changed my expression because I was acting brainwashed, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable every time I came here.

‘Why are you calling me when this is not the time?’

Rebecca, who had been trying to attack Lee Ho-yeon since the morning, returned to the Pandemic branch due to a sudden summons.

Finally, Ho-yeon Lee’s problem was resolved and she was able to have a child, but the timing was very bad.

‘I have to slowly take my foot off the ground… ‘When should I do it?’

The reason I entered Pandemic was to find survivors of Rune’s clan.

Now that he had achieved his goal, he didn’t want to stay in a pandemic that took advantage of him.

Actually, I feel regretful because it is a good place to give information to Lee Ho-yeon, but I can’t leave right away.

Because you have to get good timing.

It’s not okay for Lee Ho-yeon to be bothered because of him.

Rebecca entered the dark conference room.

Inside, most of the executives were sitting in their seats and waiting.

This may be because, as he is strongly brainwashed, he values the Maestro’s orders more than anything else.

Rebecca walked past the expressionless Pandemic executives and sat down in her seat.

Perhaps because of the strong brainwashing today, there was not a single word of private conversation between executives.

Only Rebecca feels the awkwardness and discomfort that fills this space.

It was an even more unpleasant space because of the sense of heterogeneity.

Fortunately, the sound of a man’s shoes began to be heard at that time.

Tap, tap, tap.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was late today because I had to receive a revelation from him.”

Crazy bastard.

I must have said some strange prayer again.

Rebecca looked at the Maestro and cursed in her mind.

It was his bad taste to gather all the executives and then come back several hours late.

The Maestro sat down at the head table and began to speak in a quiet voice.

“Thank you everyone for taking time out of your busy schedule. Thanks to the efforts of our executives, we are getting closer to our ideal.”

Although he speaks with a smile and a kind tone, the Maestro has brainwashed all the executives here.

The dictator himself.

Leading an organization called Pandemic by yourself is something you have to be crazy enough to do.

It was a useless meeting to talk about terrorism and kidnapping, but Rebecca listened to the meeting, wondering if there was any information she could convey to Lee Ho-yeon.

“Pandemic’s name is growing around the world. The number of applicants to join is also increasing. But… there is something that bothers me. It is Victoria Academy and France.”

Victoria Academy and France.

Both are related to Lee Ho-yeon.

Maybe there is some information that could be helpful to Hoyeon Lee?

Rebecca perked up her ears.

“Strangely, both places are not performing well. Most of the terrorist attacks at Victoria Academy failed, and the Apostle was captured in France. Can you give me some data?”

“Here it is.”

At the Maestro’s command, the secretary standing behind presented the materials.

“The Victoria Academy festival terrorist attack and the commemorative terrorist attack. And the French centaur capture operation. These three things have something in common. Rebecca?”

“… yes.”

Rebecca was momentarily taken aback by her name being suddenly called, but fortunately she was able to answer right away because she was concentrating on the meeting.

“Do you, who participated in these operations, think you know the problem?”

“I’m sorry. It was my mistake.”

“No, no. That’s not it. It was clearly not a terrorist attack that would fail. The power analysis was perfect. It was a terrorist attack that could have caused great damage and confusion even if it failed… Strangely, there was someone who ruined the terrorist attack every time.”

widely-

The Maestro displayed a man’s face as a hologram.

“Lee Ho-yeon. I am a first-year student at Victoria Academy and known as a genius wizard.”

“…!”

Rebecca sighed quietly.

Have you already noticed Lee Ho-yeon in Pandemic?

“Make sure the executives keep an eye on this person.”

“”All right.””

Rebecca thought as she watched the maestro inject Lee Ho-yeon’s face into the executives.

‘… I need to run away from this right away.’

Now is not the time to measure timing.

It’s good to steal information from the pandemic, but the moment you become aware of Ho-yeon Lee’s existence, the possibility of your relationship with Ho-yeon Lee being discovered also increases.

Because pandemic manpower and eyes are everywhere.

Soon I will no longer be single, so I should take this opportunity to retire.

Rebecca held her breath as she waited for the meeting to end.

*

After the meeting, the executives returned to their areas.

Naturally, Rebecca quickly left the conference room, and the Maestro’s secretary muttered quietly after seeing her behind.

“Just as Maestro said, it looks like I’m going to betray you. Shall I deal with it?”

“Leave it alone.”

The Maestro calmed down his magical subordinate.

And I smiled in the quiet conference room.

“It’s fun… haha. So fun.”

Hoyeon Lee.

Maestro continued to ponder while looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s photo.

He was not angry even though he committed the atrocity of taking away Rebecca, the ace of the pandemic, even though his family tried to prevent the terror he had caused.

Because he has finally found his rival.

The Maestro clasped his hands and asked the secretary.

“Do you know your destiny?”

“… I’m sorry. I’m not sure.”

“That’s right. That too is fate. I say it’s fate because it cannot be resisted. Parts like you should never be noticed for the rest of your life. That’s how the world works.”

The Maestro stood up and left the conference room.

From the moment he was born, he was destined to destroy humanity.

This means that there is also a destiny to save humans.

“I guess I should actually meet him.”

I had to clearly distinguish whether he was my opponent or a cadet who had luckily become stronger.

‘Lee Ho-yeon… .’

Desire was reflected in the Maestro’s eyes.

You will only find out if he will satisfy you when you meet him.

Lunch on the day I had an appointment with Ellis.

I talked to Scarlett while eating bread.

“Now that I think about it, where did Rebecca go?”

“I’m not sure. You said you’d come today.”

Since you haven’t contacted me, I guess you’re busy.

I was planning on having dinner with you today, but it’s a shame.

I spoke to Scarlett, who had half of the bread left.

“Scarlett, don’t you want to eat any more?”

“A woman’s life is tiring. Sometimes you have to endure hunger.”

“… okay?”

Sometimes, I think Scarlett is the most heavenly woman.

You live more femininely than anyone else.

“If you’re not going to eat bread, give it to me!”

“Liliana, please eat.”

“But Liliana, you eat so much, why aren’t you gaining weight?”

“Because it’s a succubus!”

“Is that damn succubus invincible?”

I smiled as I watched Liliana take Scarlett’s baguette and eat it happily.

Whatever you do, you’re a succubus.

“Are you going to see Ellis this afternoon?”

“Yeah. I guess I’ll decide how many days I’ll stay. It could be a few days at most.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“Aren’t you going to come home until dinner? I want to eat something delicious.”

“I don’t know. I’ll try to come early.”

“Liliana. I will take you to a delicious place.”

“Oh! Scout! Do you have a lot of money too?”

“Do not worry.”

“Okay, okay. Since you’re a new junior, be nice to your senior!”

Liliana nodded and rolled up the spaghetti.

I shook my head looking at that.

That’s a real way to believe and criticize someone’s face.

Even if she wasn’t pretty and cute, I would have scolded her.

“I’ll go quickly. Then we can have dinner together.”

“All right.”

“It’s a joke. Come back!”

The atmosphere is really nice.

I feel at ease because Scarlett covers Liliana.

I finished eating and left the accommodation.

– Me: Rebecca. There is no one at the accommodation, so please contact us before coming.

I also sent a message to Rebecca.

Scarlett and Liliana said they were going to dinner, so no one will be in the dorm.

I should tell you in advance before you panic when you see no one in the dorm.

“Now that I think about it, I have a lot to say to Ellis.”

I have to tell you about Liliana, and I also have to explain a little bit about the centaurs.

About the schedule and about the massage… .

I guess we’re running out of time.

“Is it here?”

I headed to the Iris Guild’s medical team.

When I told them in the lobby that I had come to visit Ellis, they immediately told me the location of Ellis’ hospital room.

It seems like Ellis gave us the hint in advance.

I took the elevator up to the 5th floor and knocked in front of the hospital room where Ellis was hospitalized.

smart.

“Elise. I’m here.”

“It’s open, so come in.”

Sigh-

When I opened the door and entered, I saw Ellis lying on the bed wearing a patient gown.

It was too luxurious to be a hospital room, but Ellis deserved this level of treatment.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“… It seems like every time I see you, all you do is ask me if I’m okay. Try saying other greetings as well.”

is it.

When I think about it, I think I always just asked if my condition was okay after the massage.

Let’s go sweet today.

“Hello, Lady.”

“…….”

“Sorry. It was just a joke.”

I apologized to Ellis, who was looking at me with a straight face, and sat down.

On the table right next to it, there was an apple carved into the shape of a cute rabbit.

“What is this? It’s nicely shaved. Did you do it?”

“No. My sister.”

“Sister? Ah, Irene. It’s amazing. You have such talent.”

“That’s right. He’s a great person.”

Ellis nodded and brought the apple to her mouth.

It feels like my aversion to Irene has diminished.

Did being treated well during the centaur tracking operation play a big role?

“But are you really okay? I was surprised to hear that you were suddenly hospitalized.”

“… Yes. I’m just forcing myself to come in because of my dad.”

“I’m glad.”

“Hmm. So, have you prepared something to say to me?”

I thought maybe they would just let it go, but there was no way.

I answered as calmly as possible.

“Tell me what you want to know. I’ll answer it.”

“Who is that woman who came out when Scarlett was injured? What is her relationship with you, and what is her identity?”

As expected, you are asking that.

Actually, I was worried about how to talk about Liliana, but I decided that it would be okay to be honest with Ellis.

Ellis will be good at making rational decisions.

Moreover, because she is the daughter of Iris Guild, she has a lot of information and is smart, so I don’t think she can be easily fooled.

I braced myself and made eye contact with Ellis.

Ellis was looking at me quietly, waiting for my mouth to open.

“First, I have to talk about centaurs. There is a place in this world called hell.”

“…Hell? Heaven and Hell? Or the name of a group?”

“It’s the heaven and hell you know. The centaur is a monster from hell, and the woman you saw is the same. A succubus from hell.”

“……?”

Ellis blinked and looked like he was saying something.

okay. You don’t understand.

I didn’t think I would understand it all at once anyway.

Since it was a very complicated relationship to begin with, I didn’t even think about cheating from the beginning.

“I’m sorry, it’s obvious that I don’t understand. Then should I explain the pandemic first… Hmm, this is going to be a long story.”

“Wait a minute, can I ask you one question before that?”

“Yes. Ask.”

Since it will be full of unfamiliar elements, it would be better to explain it while answering Ellis’ questions.

“Is the reason you’re a womanizer because of that succubus?”

“….”

For a moment, I wondered if I should sell Liliana.
