The time when the sun is high in the sky.

An alley right next to the main street where people and cars pass by.

An eerie sound rang out from inside.

Quad-deuk-deuk-deuk-

The sound of bones breaking and flesh being crushed echoed through the back alley.

There are two people in the alley.

A middle-aged man was holding a man in a suit by his collar and pinning him to the wall.

The man in the suit was already in serious condition to the point where he had to call an ambulance right away, but the middle-aged man instead raised his fist.

Kwasik-

“Quaaaak….”

The middle-aged man swung his fist at the man, who had broken every bone in his body.

He did not stop even when the other person begged for his life or shed tears.

“Ugh… stop, please stop. What’s the reason? Why are you doing this….”

“…reason?”

“Whoa!”

Coo-

Sigh-

The man who pierced the man’s body shook off his blood-covered hands and threw the unresponsive body into the alley.

He had no hobby of picking up trash.

“Iyura….”

It clearly started as revenge.

To get revenge on those who killed his wife.

It was to pour out the anger that had no place to go on the demons.

It’s been 10 years like that.

With what kind of heart is he killing Mine right now?

Jump and jump.

Moon Seong-min, the man who came out of the alley, quietly blended into the street.

The reason why he kills demons while becoming the demon he hates.

In the end, Moon Seong-min could not remember the reason.

No emotions came to mind.

Vengeance, exhilaration, joy, sadness.

He didn’t feel anything.

‘The reason is not important.’

We took care of one more person, so it’s already the 10th person today.

The only time I gained the will to live each day was when I killed Mine.

Seongmin Moon took out a note from his pocket.

It came from the arms of the demon I had just killed.

Since he was a pretty strong guy, he might have information on where other demons are.

-Luxury residential area. Possibly the area of a crazy person.

“….”

After checking the contents, Moon Seong-min crumpled up the paper again and stuffed it into his pocket.

Luxury residential area.

I don’t know who the crazy guy is, but he must be a strong madman.

I’ll have to go there next time.

Saturday morning.

I woke up sitting at the table drinking coffee.

I tried to make a plan last night, but it was late so I decided to think about it this morning.

“Good morning, Hoyeon.”

“Yes, Scarlett. Good morning.”

“My baby’s dad is the type that wakes up surprisingly early.”

“Just by looking at him, he looks diligent.”

As I sat at the table drinking coffee, people gathered one by one.

Dahee left her to sleep soundly because it was the weekend, and Nam Daeun came over, stirring her coffee.

“Yum. But can’t we talk after breakfast? I’m hungry.”

“It’ll be over soon. Don’t eat because you’ll lose concentration.”

“tooth.”

I spoke first, leaving Liliana who was putting the bread in her mouth with regret.

“Let’s do some research on the demons first, shall we?”

“Investigation?”

“We can’t just sit back and take action. We have to take action first.”

“Um… of course.”

Nam Da-eun nodded at what I said, but Scarlett and Rebecca looked somewhat shocked.

What is it? We definitely said we should work hard together last night.

Was I really serious?

When I made an aggrieved expression, Rebecca smiled bitterly and spoke to me.

“Baby dad. It’s good to do research, but how do you start? Do you plan to find all these demons?”

“Yes, that’s what I was planning on doing. If we catch them one by one in the back alleys, we’ll get the information.”

“….”

“why?”

It was said quite seriously, but the expressions on both of their faces were not good.

Isn’t it okay?

There have been a lot of cases of murdering mines recently, so we can investigate those as well.

You can get a live interview.

I can investigate two cases at once. Isn’t that a huge advantage?

“When will I reach the top by doing something like that?”

“If we go around in the first place, the demons will hide and not come out.”

“…I see?”

When I think about it, I think that’s true.

If the rumor spreads that these strong people are going around to catch demons, even if I were a demon, I would still be hiding.

“Actually, I started investigating last night. I have a personal connection.”

“What? It’s already started? Even Rebecca?”

“Of course I did.”

What is it? Everyone is so talented.

Am I the only one who slept without thinking?

“The baby’s father is waiting for now. Miss Scarlett and I will seek information.”

“That’s right. It won’t take that long.”

“…Hmm.”

I feel like I’m losing something.

Somehow, I feel like I live on the backs of women’s abilities every day.

It can’t be like this.

We need to develop further.

I have to show my girls a manly side.

‘I also want to seek information myself.’

I thought of a corner where information could come out.

Aside from Scarlett and Rebecca, there are people who have easy access to information.

‘… There’s only one person.’

Ellis, the successor to the Iris Guild.

Come to think of it, Ellis also said that he knows Sister Surin’s secret.

You might want to ask about that too.

Moreover, wouldn’t Rebecca and Scarlett’s connections be slower in providing information than the Iris Guild?

Of course, it can be said that asking Alice is not living off of a woman’s abilities, but… .

‘If I give up, I give up.’

What should I do if it doesn’t work?

But I can’t run on my own.

“Okay. I’ll try to get some information in my own way.”

“Okay. Then, shall we get some more information and then talk?”

“I’ve just decided on a course of action, so I think it’s okay to take my time. I’ll take care of Dahee.”

“I will help you too.”

“I’ll play the role of playing with Dahee! Oh, but if Rebecca needs it, I can help with other things too!”

I turned on my smartwatch and sent a message to Ellis.

-Me: Ellis. I have something to tell you. Can we meet?

It would be better to ask for something like this face to face rather than a message.

“Shall we eat breakfast first? Liliana looks hungry.”

“hungry!”

“Actually, I was hungry too.”

I sat next to Liliana and waited for Nam Da-eun to prepare breakfast.

*

-Ellis: Yes. Come to my house around lunch time.

I muttered to myself as I looked at the message Ellis sent.

“It’s an amazing feeling.”

After telling Scarlett that I was going to see Ellis for a while, I went out of the house and walked for about 10 seconds.

Then we arrived at Ellis’ house.

This is what it feels like when a friend lives next door.

It was somewhat surprising because it was my first experience.

I rang the doorbell.

Rattling-

After a while, the lock on the front door was unlocked, and I pushed the door open and went inside.

As I walked down the familiar road past the yard, a middle-aged man walked in front of me.

“Lee Ho-yeon.”

“Oh, Mr. Sebastian?”

“Yes, you remembered.”

“of course.”

Sebastian looked at me and lowered his head.

Of course, last time I called you Cadet Lee Ho-yeon, but today I call you Lee Ho-yeon.

I guess this is also a treat in its own way.

I wonder if I have now become Iris Guild’s son-in-law.

“The lady is waiting in the room.”

“thank you.”

Sebastian opened the door to Alice’s house and slipped backwards.

And suddenly he started talking to himself.

“It’s my break time now, so the only people left in the mansion are Lee Ho-yeon and the young lady.”

“yes?”

“Have a good time.”

Sebastian bowed deeply and disappeared.

… what.

Was he originally like that?

I slowly climbed the stairs and headed toward Ellis’ room.

I’ve been here a few times for massages, so I knew the way.

smart-

“Elise, you’re out.”

“Yes, come in.”

After hearing the answer and opening the door, I saw Alice wearing comfortable clothes.

Should I say pajamas?

Ellis was wearing a dress made of thin material.

It’s been a while since I last saw Alice’s room.

Seeing the glass of wine he was drinking sitting on the table in the middle, it looks like he was resting because it was the weekend.

Ellis sat on the bed, and I sat next to her at a distance.

“Sorry. I was resting, but I guess I disturbed you.”

“It’s okay. What happened?”

“There’s something I’d like your help with.”

I explained the situation to Ellis as best as I could.

There was a lot to say, but since I had seen Rebecca’s face during the centaur tracking operation, it was still a little easier to explain.

“So, you’re saying that Grebeca betrayed Pandemic and joined you, and that’s why you’re being chased?”

“huh.”

“So you want to know the location of the demons?”

“that’s right.”

“….”

After hearing what I said, Ellis nodded and crossed her arms.

I quietly waited for Ellis to open the sign up.

Meanwhile, I glanced around the room, and no matter how I looked at it, the room looked very feminine.

It feels a bit different from Ellis’s personality.

That’s another cute point.

“Okay, I’ll tell you. It’s not particularly difficult.”

“Thank you, Alice.”

After a short thought, Ellis easily gave permission.

I made eye contact with Ellis and expressed my gratitude.

thank god.

I was prepared to be rejected because it was a sudden request, but it was Ellis.

Even though I pretend not to like it, I do everything.

“It’s okay. I told you it wasn’t difficult.”

“But I am thankful. I really appreciate it. Is there something I can do for you? Should I give you a massage after a long time?”

“Ugh….No, that’s enough for today. Instead, don’t fight with the demons and get hurt.”

“Elise, are you worried now? I’m touched.”

“…It’s not like that. I just don’t want to get hurt because of another woman.”

Ellis narrowed her eyebrows and glared at me.

It’s not scary anymore when I look at it like that.

Rather cute.

I answered with a smile.

“I understand. If Ellis is worried, I will be absolutely careful.”

“It’s not that I’m worried, I’m just worried that something troublesome might happen.”

“Yep.”

I pressed myself against Ellis and sobbed.

How can you say something cute like that when you say you don’t want to get hurt because of another woman?

Ellis seemed scared by my expression and tried to get away from me, but I quickly grabbed her shoulder.

“What kind of expression are you making now… Ugh, yes….”

I overlapped my mouth with Ellis.

Ellis, who was just walking around town at first, soon started to mingle with me.

After the short kiss, Alice, whose face was flushed, bit her lip and looked at me.

“Elise, since I’m in Korea, let’s do it once.”

“No, not today. Really….”

“No? Why?”

“Condition, condition is not good.”

Anyone can see that it looks lively… .

I looked at Alice’s expression.

It feels like you are avoiding my eyes.

Normally, I would have taken care of her because she was not in good condition, but I felt uneasy about Alice’s reaction, so I opened the status window.

★Heroine status window

[Ellis]

-[Likeability: 98](+0.6)

-[Sex Drive: 80]

-[Appetite: 20]

-[Fatigue: 30]

Current status: No. Absolutely not. If I get caught, it’s over for me. My life will be over…

Seeing this makes me even more curious.

I snuggled into Ellis’ arms.

This is worth a little more effort.

“Elise!”

“S-don’t do this. Really… ah….”

Ellis started pounding my back with his fist.
