Time passed quickly as I played with Liliana.

Of course, it was hard to listen to that hellish song, but fortunately I was able to hold out until Scarlett came.

“…You’re finally here.”

“Huh? What are you talking about… Oh, you’re Scout!”

“Yes, Liliana.”

Again and again.

As always, Scarlett opened the window and appeared.

Nevertheless, the fact that there are no wrinkles on the clothes is a truly professional look.

Now, I want you to go through the door.

“Hoyeon. I have something to tell you.”

“suddenly?”

“Yes. That’s important.”

“… What?”

Are you pregnant at all?

I didn’t check for contraception magic, though. no way…

“Starting today, I am unemployed.”

“… what?”

I blinked and looked at Scarlett’s face.

*

“That’s it.”

“… really?”

“Yes. I am unemployed from today.”

When Scarlett said that she had just submitted her resignation and received permission, I covered my eyes with my palms.

There’s no way my girlfriend is unemployed… .

okay.

Let’s at least hear the reason.

“It’s your choice to quit, but… what’s the reason?”

“Anyway, since I’m caught, I have to give up on one of the two. It’s either you or the Iris Guild. I chose you out of them, so I’d like you to praise me.”

“Did you get caught? What did you do, dude? You should have been careful.”

“… I was attacked instead of you in full view, but I don’t think the guild leader would know about it.”

“ah….”

Come to think of it, that’s right.

There is no way Isaac in the world could get over that.

If you don’t notice that much, you should resign from your position as Iris Guild Leader.

“Furthermore, people within the Iris Guild kept coming in and out of this dormitory, so Isaac was probably aware of it as well.”

“I see. Then does he know that I’m going to Ellis?”

“Of course.”

Something is scary.

As expected, I have to be careful at night.

Scarlett tapped the table with her fingers and continued speaking.

“I’m going back to Korea soon anyway… so it’s not a bad idea to organize everything in advance. I was getting sick of it.”

“I’m sorry, Scarlett. An unemployed woman refuses.”

“Then, since I brought good information to the guild leader, let’s ask him to take it back.”

“I love you. I will never let a drop of water get on your hands for the rest of my life.”

“Thank you, you. That was quite a romantic confession.”

Scarlett laughed bitterly.

It’s a classic confession in Korea, but it works in France.

I learned something good.

At that moment, Liliana joined in, clapping her hands.

“You don’t have to go to work anymore! Scarlett! You can keep playing with me!”

“Yes. Thanks to Liliana.”

“Okay, okay. Well done. Great. Scout!”

“… Liliana. Can we please fix the title now?”

Not once or twice, I am confused as I change the names of Scarlett and Scout at will.

More than once, I almost called Scarlett Scout without realizing it.

It’s all because of Liliana.

“It’s okay. Scarlett is gone now. All that’s left is Scout.”

“… Right. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but are you saying it’s fixed as a scout?”

Are you Scarlett when you’re at work and Scout when you’re at home?

It seems roughly similar, but I can’t be sure.

Now that I’m unemployed, I can’t find out again.

“Scout! Why not? Do you want to listen to my song?”

“You mean the song?”

“… Well, enjoy listening.”

I don’t understand why it won’t work.

I gave up talking to Liliana and looked at my smartwatch.

I have to reply to the message.

“What do you think? That’s great. Hip-hop was trending, so I tried one too.”

“…… yes.”

I looked at Scarlett’s expression while replying to the message.

Even Scarlett can’t give a positive answer to that hellish song.

It was quite cute to see Scarlett wondering how to react so that Liliana wouldn’t get hurt.

at that time. For a moment, I sensed the magical power around me being distorted.

Sigh-

“hmm?”

“haha….”

At the same time, I hear heavy breathing behind me.

When I turned around, red hair blocked my view.

Among the women I know, only one has red hair.

It’s just Rebecca.

“What is it, Rebecca?”

“Ugh… baby daddy. Sigh.”

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

This is the first time I see Rebecca’s urgent appearance.

It wasn’t like this even when they mistook me for Rune’s clan and tried to attack me.

“Drink this and calm down.”

“Ha, yes. Thank you….”

I handed the coffee I was drinking to Rebecca, and after drinking the coffee and catching her breath, Rebecca immediately sat down next to me.

Rebecca shook off her clothes as if she were tired, took off her outer clothes, hung them on a chair, and opened her mouth.

“Whew… I almost died. Really.”

“… Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Come to think of it, I sent you a message saying something big was up. What’s going on?”

“Ugh… I’ll tell you everything.”

The story I heard from Rebecca was quite shocking.

I was listening to Pandemic’s executive meeting, and it was said that Pandemic was keeping an eye on me, who had successfully prevented terrorist attacks at the French and Victoria academies.

It’s a big deal.

however…

“Uhm… well, it’s actually about time.”

That’s natural.

In the first place, it is normal for the protagonist to be aggroed by Pandemic.

Of course, in the original game, a year would have to pass at the earliest, but my power has already become stronger than in the second year of the original game.

It’s enough to get attention.

Moreover, it prevented more pandemic terrorism than the original.

Not only did Victoria Academy prevent a major terrorist attack in France.

“I still don’t feel good.”

“It’s not that bad. I heard you’re in big trouble.”

Rebecca seemed worried about me.

From my perspective, I thought, ‘What’s coming is here.’ This is my impression, but it would probably be right for a third party to think that something big had happened.

No, but wouldn’t Rebecca be dangerous if she recognized my existence?

“Thank you for your concern, Rebecca. I also think it’s a big deal. But isn’t Rebecca more dangerous than me? I don’t think she will let go of my relationship with Rebecca once she knows me.”

Even though Rebecca has a rune barrier, she may get caught once in a while.

Because there is no place without the eyes of a pandemic.

And the moment you get caught even once, you will be brainwashed again.

Now it has become too dangerous to be in a pandemic.

“Yes. So, I’m planning to quit as of today.”

“… yes?”

“I’m unemployed starting today. Baby’s dad. What should I do?”

Rebecca put out her lips and sank down on the table.

… Are you unemployed too?

*

After a while.

Rebecca stood up and clenched her fists proudly.

“But I have a lot of money saved up, so don’t worry!”

“… thank god.”

First of all, I have to say that I am fortunate.

If you don’t have money, even Rune’s family can’t survive.

That’s reality.

How much money does it cost to raise a child?

“Actually, I’m unemployed, but I have a lot of money saved up.”

“Oh my, the baby’s dad’s girlfriend is unemployed now? I heard she belongs to the Iris Guild?!”

“It just so happened that I was bitten by a bad guy.”

“Yes, yes. That’s a good choice. A woman is happiest when she is at home looking after her child. Oh, I will pay for the child support, so don’t worry about the baby’s father’s girlfriend.”

“… Why should I worry about that?”

At that time, Scarlett and Liliana also joined our conversation.

It looks like we’re done sharing our thoughts on this hellish song.

“Now that you think about it, why doesn’t Rebecca call Scout by his first name?”

“I’ll call you that from now on. It was funny how you reacted when I called you my baby’s dad’s girlfriend, but you’re not reacting that funny anymore, Miss Scarlett.”

“… I thought it was real, but it turned out to be true.”

“Why are you picking a fight with Scarlett, who is still quiet…?”

“I’m doing it because I want to become friends.”

“That’s right. Rebecca would also want to become friends with Scout.”

“As expected, Liliana understands well. … But are you going to keep speaking informally to me?”

“What do you mean, I’m older than you?”

“….”

I don’t know why there are such headache-inducing conversations going on today.

I don’t know if our relationship is good or bad.

‘I guess it’s a good thing, right?’

Those are all expressions of affection.

I continued, looking at Rebecca.

“Well, that’s right. Rebecca, aren’t you going to stay at my house too? It would be nice if we get along well.”

“Thank goodness! I was worried I’d be kicked out.”

“Why am I kicking you out? Ah, now that I think about it, doesn’t Rebecca have personal power?”

“Yes. First, I just removed all the brainwashing. Then, I gave them severance pay and fired them all.”

“Is that okay?”

They fire you with only severance pay.

I was worried that the sad reality of a head of a family who lost his job overnight would unfold, but the reality was worse than I thought.

“That’s better. After all, I picked up all the talentless guys and used them. I told them to hide as much as possible before Pandemic notices, so they’ll take care of it.”

“Ah… maybe those people will be Pandemic’s target. They might be able to get information about Rebecca.”

“It will probably happen unconditionally. Still, they are good enough to be loyal, so you have to trust them. When I removed the brainwashing, I roughly informed them of the situation.”

“… Rebecca, you are very affectionate.”

“It’s not that I have a lot of affection. I just think that if you live a good life, your luck will improve.”

In fact, in order to completely eliminate the element of anxiety, the cleanest solution is to kill all of Rebecca’s forces.

Still, I’m glad he’s a good person.

While I was talking to Rebecca, Scarlett and Liliana were also talking to each other.

“Scout, how are we going to make ends meet now?”

“Hoyeon-nim stole a lot of money from Lady Ellis.”

“Oh… that’s right. I made a lot more than my broadcast.”

“And Liliana’s broadcasting revenue will also increase. I found out that these days, people tend to upload edited videos rather than streaming…”

“Really? I can do that too?”

hmm.

Cost of living is important.

It seemed like they were talking about important business, so I looked at Rebecca again.

“So, how’s the fake dungeon magic going?”

“Oh, I’m preparing, but… honestly, I think it’ll take quite a bit of time.”

One day, the day will come when the truth will have to be revealed to the heroines.

The shocking fact that I have more than 10 girlfriends… .

A fake dungeon magic being prepared to lessen the impact of that time.

I didn’t expect it to be completed right away anyway, so I continued leisurely.

“Do you need anything? Or would you like me to help you? I have some money saved up as well. Otherwise, let’s form a magic circle together.”

“Hmm… it’s okay since I don’t have anywhere to spend my money anymore. We can make a magic circle together.”

“Then let’s make a magic circle together. We’ll have a lot of time when we get back to Korea.”

“That’s good. Ah, when are we going to have a baby?”

“… I’m a little less busy now.”

I have already prepared my heart to hug Rebecca.

Actually, it’s not something that requires preparation.

I just have to do what I normally do.

“I’m fine right now, but… your baby’s dad said he’s going back to Korea the day after tomorrow, right?”

“That’s right. The day after tomorrow is Thursday.”

“Then shall we hold a memorial service that day…!”

Rebecca licked her lips and made eye contact with me.

It was like a child who had a toy that he wanted to have.

“In Korea?”

“Yes. Children need to be raised in a good environment!”

Rebecca seemed to have relaxed a little.

It seems like just yesterday that I was crying because I couldn’t have a baby.

“When I first saw you, you looked very unstable, but I think you’re okay now.”

“I don’t have to work anymore, so I have some free time. First of all, I need to find out about baby products.”

“… You’re not even pregnant?”

“Yes. You have to do it before your body gets heavy. The baby’s father should always take care of his body, too. We have to squeeze out good genes.”

“S-Tell me something… Tsk. Yes, I understand.”

I swallowed back my words as I looked at Rebecca smiling happily.

okay. If it’s good, that’s fine.
