Chapter Index

    ‘Did I tease you too much?’

    Alice was cute, so we played around with her for a bit, and in the end, she almost got kicked out of the house.

    Well, it still looked good, so I guess it’s okay.

    When I said the wine was delicious, I was given a high-quality wine as a gift.

    Let’s share it with the kids later.

    “Look at this, Sister Liliana.”

    “Yeah. It’s a joke.”

    As soon as I entered the house, I saw Liliana playing with Nam Da-hee, and inside, Scarlett and Rebecca were talking.

    It seemed like Da-eun had gone to training because she couldn’t see it.

    As it was an expensive house, there was a lot of space left, so we built a training room.

    “Are you here, Hoen?”

    “Huh? The baby’s father has arrived.”

    “Yes. I also got some information.”

    “Information…? Did you have any information?”

    Scarlett looked at me in surprise.

    There’s nothing that surprising.

    “Of course. I have the information power of the industry’s best Iris Guild.”

    “Iris Guild? Isn’t that where Miss Scarlett was kicked out?”

    “… I wasn’t kicked out. It looks like Iris Guild received help from Lady Ellis.”

    “Yes. That’s right.”

    “Oh, the blonde girl who stole your panties? All of your dad’s girlfriends are amazing.”

    Why does Rebecca have strange memories of all my women?

    I casually sat down at the table and brought Scarlett’s coffee to my lips.

    Scarlett didn’t say anything, probably because she was used to my behavior.

    Oh, write it.

    “What did you two do? Collect the information you obtained?”

    “I looked through my personal connections… but I don’t think I can be of any help. It seems like the Maestro has all my connections figured out.”

    “I am conducting my own investigation, but they say that all the informants planted on the Mine side have cut off contact and gone into hiding.”

    “You suddenly cut off contact?”

    “I heard that they are hiding because of a terrorist attack against the demons… Perhaps it is because of the recent fight between the demons.”

    Scarlett tilted her head.

    Well, if you don’t know Moon Seong-min’s existence, you might not understand.

    for a moment.

    So everyone didn’t get any information?

    “…In the end, neither of you have any income?”

    “Uhm… I am being chased. Please understand.”

    “I will need some time.”

    “Ohh.”

    Maybe Ellis will find out first.

    Finally, I can finally work as the head of the household.

    “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it in no time.”

    “You’re confident.”

    “The Iris Guild is invincible.”

    “I know because I’ve been there, but that place is also a mess.”

    I smiled jokingly at Scarlett’s reaction.

    Basically, you don’t like where you work.

    Let’s take our attention away from information gathering and just fight, which we are good at.

    Since there are experts, there is no need for me to step forward.

    “As Miss Scarlett said, even for the Iris Guild, it will take quite some time, right?”

    “Probably so. Would you like to invite Ms. Da-eun over for a meal?”

    “Is that so?”

    The information will come out in a few days, so you just need to increase your strength until then.

    Should I eat and train with Da-eun?

    Tiring-

    At that time, my smart watch rang.

    Ellis’ name appeared on the screen.

    – Ellis: Check the file I sent.

    “file?”

    When I touched the smart watch, I saw the file that Ellis had sent.

    The file contained a map and several photos, and underneath it was information about the demons in the photos.

    I raised my head and looked at Scarlett.

    “Scarlett.”

    “yes?”

    “I think I’ve already found it?”

    Is this the successor to Iris Guild?

    It’s only been a few hours, why is it so fast?

    – Me: Ellis, did you send me the investigation process? Or is this the end of the investigation?

    – Ellis: Of course it’s the end. Because I ordered it as soon as I was asked to do so by you.

    – come out… thank you. Next time, I’ll bring prettier panties.

    – Ellis: Give it back. Give it back!

    widely-

    I turned off the smartwatch and smiled as I looked at the two who were blinking because they couldn’t understand the situation yet.

    “Let’s call Da-eun and prepare, right?”

    *

    I walked through the middle of the city, blocking the bright sunlight with my hands.

    There were three women next to me, and they were chatting excitedly.

    “Wow, Miss Scarlett, it’s amazing that you got such a good job because of love.”

    “That’s right. Scarlett is also sincere towards Hoyeon.”

    “… No. If I had known it was such a good job, I wouldn’t have applied. I regret it immensely.”

    “Miss Scarlett is a liar.”

    “….”

    I walked ahead, watching Scarlett being teased.

    The destination we’re heading to is the largest pandemic retreat in the area that Ellis told us about.

    The information provided by Ellis included the structure of the retreat and the military history of the executives within it.

    There are three executive-level Mines currently in hiding. That means there are three S-class demons.

    It is not a place with such weak defenses, but it is said that many executives fled to other places due to Moon Seong-min’s terrorism.

    In other words, right before cadres were added, the best time to fight was now.

    “Is Liliana going to be okay?”

    “Yes. The house will probably be safe. I placed a spell on Liliana, so if anything happens, I’ll return right away.”

    Liliana decided to take care of Nam Dahee at home.

    I was thinking of leaving Nam Da-eun behind, but I had no choice since Nam Da-eun was much stronger than Liliana.

    “But if we attack Mine, Rebecca will be safe, right?”

    Nam Da-eun asked me about the significance of the operation.

    That’s a good question.

    “First of all, it makes sense to reduce the power of the pandemic. Even the pandemic cannot invest power only in Korea.”

    “What if extremely strong demons come?”

    “At that time, the Hunter Association and Academy will also notice.”

    It’s not because they can’t catch the horse that they don’t catch it.

    This is because investing too much power in the mines can give them a gap.

    However, if the opposing team increases its power first, the association and academy will also change their attitude.

    “But baby daddy, what’s your plan? Can I come out anyway?”

    “Of course there is.”

    In fact, our power was overwhelming. There are three S-class demons, but not all S-class demons are strong.

    The executive guarding the hideout is of the lowest rank among the S-class.

    Since we had four combatants who could destroy an S-class Mine, it was easy to take out one hideout like this.

    “First enter the password and go inside.”

    “With the password Hoyeon mentioned earlier?”

    “Yes. And just kill every demon you see.”

    “….”

    Nam Da-eun opened her mouth at my perfect plan, and Rebecca shook her head.

    “Baby dad. Don’t say anything too scary. It’s not good for prenatal education.”

    “It would be worse for prenatal education to leave these pandemic bastards in the world.”

    “Hmm, maybe so?”

    Rebecca finally nodded as if she agreed with what I said, but the others did not.

    “Hoyeon, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”

    “Really? We have overwhelming power.”

    “… I don’t think that was the plan in the first place.”

    I thought the plan was perfect, but the response wasn’t great.

    Scarlett, in particular, spoke as if she was frustrated.

    “The map even showed the location of the executives’ offices. Let’s take charge of one person each and deal with them quietly. After that, we can block the exits and clear out the remaining demons.”

    “…Are you okay?”

    “Even if the power is overwhelming, there is no reason to make noise. You never know what might happen.”

    “I see. There are four of us. How do we divide the team?”

    “There are three people who can hide, so I will take Miss Da-eun, who is short on power. Rebecca and you will be able to handle it on your own.”

    “As expected, people with different experience levels are different.”

    Scarlett came up with a good plan based on her experience working at the Iris Guild.

    Looking at it this way, what I came up with wasn’t even a plan.

    “Then, you two go to the nearest place. Rebecca and I will go to a far place, so let’s deal with the two of you first and then join us.”

    “Okay, baby daddy.”

    “All right.”

    “Yes. Please take care of me, Scarlett.”

    We entered the alleyways of the streets and headed toward Pandemic’s hideout.

    A place so dark that you wonder if there was a place like this in the city.

    As I passed by the tramps who had been sleeping since broad daylight, I saw my destination, a huge rusty iron gate.

    “Are you here?”

    “Yes. Just a moment.”

    smart-

    I knocked on the rusty iron door.

    There was no answer, but I could feel presence inside.

    Maybe if the password is correct, the door will open.

    I recited the password used by merchants in the original game.

    “Arma Ja Maestra.”

    Crash. Squeak-

    With the sound of the lock being released, the giant inside opened the rusty iron door.

    The giant glanced at us and clung to the wall while muttering his voice.

    “Go back as soon as you put the items away.”

    “Yes, I understand.”

    I stooped and passed the giant.

    Since we were hidden behind a rune barrier, the four of us must have looked like delivery drivers.

    As soon as I turned the corner, Rebecca slowly approached me as I straightened my back.

    “How does your father even know the password used by merchants? I don’t know that either.”

    “I heard it from Mine, who I caught before.”

    I excused myself and went inside.

    As I followed the path of the hideout that resembled an anthill, demons began to appear.

    The inside looked like the lobby of the Iris Guild.

    Some demons were seen sitting and resting, while others were working hard on something.

    I made eye contact with the women.

    “… Did you all remember the location? Now let’s disperse.”

    We dispersed in silence like merchants delivering goods to executives.

    Now all you have to do is hide in a place where no one is around and assassinate your target.

    ‘I just have to do well.’

    Because Rebecca, as well as Scarlett and Nam Da-eun, are trustworthy.

    I slowly walked to the office of the executive I was in charge of.

    But the interior and the behavior of the people make it hard to believe that this is a real company.

    Except for the occasional scary-looking demons, everyone looked like humans.

    As I walked and watched the horses passing by, I was able to quickly reach my destination.

    The office was fenced off with an eerie magic characteristic of Mine.

    It’s probably a security device in the executive office.

    After confirming that there was no one around, I used my magic to shatter the barrier, kicked down the door, and went inside.

    I tried to deal with it without giving myself time to react, but what was inside was different from what I thought.

    A broken reception table and a sofa torn to shreds and spitting out cotton.

    And a middle-aged man breaking Mine’s neck.

    Kwaduk- Kwaduk-

    “… What is it? There must have been a barrier set up.”

    The middle-aged man holding the mine frowned at me.

    The Mine in his hand was one of the executives I was targeting.

    “He’s not a demon, so he’s probably not a subordinate. Is he a human? It looks like there’s a plan to raid a hideout. The timing was bad. Oh, they don’t touch humans, so don’t worry.”

    The middle-aged man threw the dead demon’s body on the floor.

    And he walked towards me slowly.

    Seeing that there is no hostility at all, it must be his intention to pass by me and out the door.

    ‘… ‘Why do you have to meet me?’

    Anyway, now that we’ve met, I can’t let it go quietly.

    “Mr. Seongmin Moon. Hello.”

    “Who is it? I don’t think there’s anyone in the association who knows my name.”

    Moon Seong-min, hearing what I said, stopped and looked at me.

    Seeing him with so much hostility, I feel like I just pretended to know him for no reason… .

    “This is your daughter’s boyfriend. Father-in-law.”

    I met Surin’s sister’s father, but I can’t just let him go.

    I sighed and took a defensive stance.
