The next afternoon.

After finishing my meal, I was taking a walk with Imsol.

Since the conference was over and there was nothing to do, I usually spent my time eating, walking, or replenishing my sugar intake from Imsol.

There has been no contact from Arthur yet.

I heard that more time is needed.

They’re probably using torture or something to extract information.

Since I couldn’t stay in the U.S. forever, the limit Lim Sol and I set was tomorrow.

If nothing happens by tomorrow, I have to return to Korea.

Because I have a lot of people waiting, and Im Sol also has work to take care of.

‘Looking at the atmosphere, I don’t think we’ll be able to find out any information until tomorrow.’

What that means is that today is the only time I have time to be alone with Imsol.

In times like this, you should satisfy your self-interest.

I spoke to Lim Sol, who was walking alongside me.

“Do you want to go see the sea today?”

“The sea? Suddenly?”

“There isn’t much time left for a date just the two of us.”

“Hmm. Do you want to go like that?”

“Yes. Definitely. Definitely.”

It was okay for Imsol and I to eat together or walk down the street, but I also want to go somewhere with a nice atmosphere.

I have never been to the sea since I became possessed in this world.

Especially because I’ve never walked on the sea at night with a woman.

‘If it were Sol, wouldn’t it be possible to coax it into a quiet night sea fella?’

Surprisingly, Imsol might allow such a thing.

I continued talking, looking forward to the sea.

“If you splash some water while looking at the sea, it will refresh your head.”

“Water hole?”

“Sol-i, don’t you know what a water hole is?”

“… Mr. Sol-i? What is a water hole?”

Imsol tilted his head and asked.

“It’s called a water bruise.”

“Do not lie.”

“It’s true. If you look at water and make a fuss, you will get a wet look. If you look at a fire and make a fuss, you will get a loud bang.”

“I’m worried that my student may have suffered from heat.”

Imsol put his hand on my forehead and looked worried.

Well, I had that same reaction when I first heard it.

What is a water hole? A watering hole.

“Sol. Anyway, let’s go to the water bath later.”

“Okay. But why don’t you stop using strange names?”

“Tsk. I understand. Sister Sol.”

Something didn’t stick in Sol’s mouth, so she tried many different things, but nothing worked.

For now, let’s be satisfied with being a sister.

I think it would be better to subdue Im Sol as soon as possible.

Then you can comfortably call me Sol.

Im Sol, who was walking next to me, looked at the cafe in front of me and said.

“I’m thinking of going to a cafe. Would you like a drink?”

“Fine. I would like a Claire Rose latte, please.”

“I was wondering if there was anyone eating that, but here it is.”

“It’s a taste that becomes addictive when you eat it.”

Claire Rose Latte is a drink I learned about thanks to Moon Surin.

At first, I ate it to get used to it, but soon I found myself looking for this.

It had a sweet rose scent, a refreshing mint scent, and even a spicy taste, so I couldn’t be satisfied with an ordinary drink.

“Okay. Then, let me try it too.”

Imsol nodded and headed to a cafe a block away, and I stretched and looked behind him.

‘I hope Sister Surin is doing well.’

Claire Rose Latte comes to mind again.

When I return to Korea, I have to visit quickly.

Exciting-

“hmm?”

A sudden, strange change in atmosphere.

I stopped thinking and turned my head to check behind me.

‘what?’

Of course there was no one around, but my sense of battle was just activated.

It means there is a threat that I haven’t noticed.

“… Is it there?”

I looked into the dark alley.

On the outside, there seemed to be no danger, but that was the only place that looked suspicious.

“Should I check when Sol comes….”

Still, just in case, I’ll try some magic detection.

I carefully raised my magic power and approached the entrance to the alley.

*

The streets of New York, where the heat from the Magic Society has not cooled down.

The people hiding in the shabby building watched Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon through CCTV and had a conversation.

In order to monitor the two strong wizards, they had to be kept at a distance.

“Are you sure it’s okay? I heard that the magic he announced was a secret technique from the Great Magic Dictionary. It happened to coincide with the conference, so the only people who formed the team were wizards.”

“Don’t worry. I saw the target Beta demonstrating magic with my own eyes. Of course, I know its weaknesses.”

“Oooh…! It’s Zeros as expected!”

Zeros, the Pandemic executive who was directing the operation, smiled proudly.

I guess I should give these stupid guys the information I have.

“As the area unfolds, a visual effect is created as if a soap bubble is growing bigger. It makes no sense for such incredible magic to have no foreshadowing.”

“I see…! That means as long as you are careful in that area….”

“Yes. Our advantage is that we can raid. We must raid before deploying the area. Make sure to convey this to the raiding team.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“The two will not remain together forever. The moment they fall, the operation will be carried out.”

The demons, led by Zeros, continued their conversation while checking the movements of the two.

And after a while.

– Two targets dropped! Alpha entered the cafe, and Beta is waiting alone.

“Confirmed. Alpha Team heads to the target Alpha. And the remaining demons attack Beta under my command.”

Zeros quickly gave the command, then jumped off the building and ran to the target location.

‘They let me in on their own.’

The moment when the two separated themselves was important.

I was planning on attacking him even if there were a lot of people there, but it would be easier if I was standing alone like that.

Zeros headed to the rooftop of a building close to where his target, Lee Ho-yeon, was standing.

Zeros, who was about to give an attack order while seeing his target standing blankly, felt a strange sensation.

The Beta team is already encamped around Lee Ho-yeon.

As soon as he gives the order to attack, he will bombard Lee Ho-yeon with magic.

‘What is that coldness just now…? ?’

However, his senses, having been fighting as a demon for quite a long time, were screaming.

This operation was dangerous.

Elements of anxiety must be eliminated.

Even though his opponent was barely a cadet, he trusted his senses.

– Mr. Zeros. The beta came close to the alley. Attack?

“…Wait a moment. I will join you too.”

Zeros decided to withdraw his plan and join the Beta team.

Imsol, a genius wizard, had three S-class demons, but there were no S-class demons in the beta team except himself.

‘We have to make sure we handle it.’

Zeros jumped off the rooftop, hid, and joined the Beta team.

Ho-yeon Lee was walking directly into the alley, seemingly with some confidence.

The moment you are completely within range.

Zeros said as he drew a magic circle.

“Attack now!”

Ugh-!

Paaang-!

A magic used simultaneously by a group of demons.

The power was beyond imagination, and Lee Ho-yeon’s body was literally engulfed in smoke.

‘As expected, the anxiety was an illusion.’

With that firepower, it was about time that even Zeroth felt relieved.

Card deuk deuk deuk!

Magical power exploded at the location where Lee Ho-yeon was, and the magic used by the beta team tore through the air and returned to the station.

Power and speed that cannot be reacted to.

An overwhelming tsunami of magical power engulfed Team Beta and burned Zeros’ entire body.

“Ugh, wow!”

As soon as they were hit by the magic, more than half of the demons evaporated.

Its enormous power is such that even Zeros, an executive, cannot withstand it.

“Big…!”

However, he is an S-class magician with a lot of experience.

Even though he was wincing in pain, he kept his body up without collapsing.

“What is this….”

Crunch- Crunch-

While recovering his body with Mine’s unique vitality, he checked his surroundings with a puzzled expression.

The surrounding buildings were half destroyed, and the alley where the Beta team was hiding was erased cleanly, as if it had been erased with an eraser.

Since he couldn’t even figure out why this happened, Zeros couldn’t help but be confused.

“… The concentration of magical power is too thick.”

Abnormally high concentration of magical power.

This was a characteristic of the area development presented by Aiden and Hoyeon Lee.

“no way….”

Zeros swallowed his saliva at the sight of Lee Ho-yeon, who was invisible.

Jerk. Jerk.

And, I trembled as I saw Lee Ho-yeon approaching.

A blue magic sphere floating around the body. And a cold magical power that seemed to be eating away at my body.

Lastly, Lee Ho-yeon’s bored-looking face.

Zeros unconsciously felt fear from the cadet.

“Huh, how can something like this happen? The characteristics of area development are definitely….”

“So you should have done more research. You guys. I was in a good mood with Sol, but you attacked me when I went to a cafe for a moment?”

Hoyeon Lee walked towards Zeros with an annoyed expression on his face.

I added a useless effect to the Demon Heavenly Palace to mess with Aiden, and this illusion also occurred.

“Ugh… There will be no time to stay like this now. Imsol has three S-class mines!”

“…Three S-class demons?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Your teacher is in danger. If you don’t get help right away….”

Zeros spoke to Lee Ho-yeon with the hope that he might survive.

Giggeek- Gikkigeek-

Even at this moment, he was recovering his body with Mine’s unique resilience.

If we could buy just a little time, it was possible to continue the fight again.

However, Hoyeon Lee put on a calm expression and shook the dust off her head.

“I’m sorry, but you’ll need double digits of S-class demons to beat him. And when you’re done regenerating, do you want to get up?”

“… What are you thinking?”

Zeros stood up.

Even though he was hurt, Junchi is rotten.

He was a Pandemic executive in charge of the Wizards’ Society.

I didn’t think that if I fought properly, I would lose.

Zeros burned his hostility and raised his magic power.

“No, I need someone to talk to. But you… are you a wizard?”

Hoyeon Lee smiled bitterly.

I needed a partner, and a wizard would be better.

*

Pajjik-Pajjik-

thud!

“Quaaahhh…!

“Wow, that’s ridiculous. There were three S-class people… gasp!”

Imsol turned his head to see the demons lying on the floor.

In her hands were two glasses of Claire Rose Latte.

It was a little annoying to be attacked the moment I left the cafe, but fortunately I was able to keep my drink.

“I have to go to Hoyeon.”

Imsol walked quickly.

If he had been attacked, Lee Ho-yeon would have been attacked as well.

I think it’s probably safe, but you don’t know what’s going on in the world.

Im Sol, who returned to where Lee Ho-yeon was with a bit of anxiety, could not believe his eyes.

“Kwaaak….”

“Wake up. Hey, wake up.”

“Please stop… I will do whatever you ask me to do. Even information about the pandemic or the Wizarding Society….”

“No, get up and try using some magic. There’s a lot I haven’t done yet.”

“Keuuk….”

“…….”

The man who appeared to be a demon was lying face down and sobbing, and his student was kicking the demon’s side with a mischievous expression on his face.

Lee Ho-yeon, who was frowning as he watched Mine not getting up, turned his head at the feeling of popularity.

“Ah, Sol is here? As expected, she doesn’t have any injuries. I trusted her.”

“… what are you doing?”

Imsol asked, looking at Lee Ho-yeon, who was pleased.

What is it that makes you look so refreshing?

“It’s been a while since I actually played, so I was doing some testing.”

“Hey, Wizard Imsol. Please save me. This devilish bastard….”

“This bastard… who told you to talk to Sol?”

“S-sorry. Argh!”

“….”

Hoyeon Lee started hitting Mine again, and Imsol closed her eyes as she watched.

‘Our student must have suffered from heat.’

I should have looked into it from the moment it made a strange sound, whether it was a water hole or something.

Side- Jook-

Imsol took a bite of Claire Rose Latte and frowned.

“… It doesn’t taste good.”

After the sweet rose scent, a cool mint scent envelops your mouth, and the finish is spicy enough to tingle.

Why on earth is Hoyeon eating this?

“Look, it can happen. I mean… um, what was your name? Now that I think about it, I didn’t ask.”

“Ah, ahhh….”

“Huh? It’s broken. It’s a bit disappointing.”

Ho-yeon Lee squatted down and poked Zeros’ side to check his condition, while Im Sol sat on the bench next to him and waited for Ho-yeon Lee to finish his work.
