“I’ll get up first. See you later. And please follow what I said.”

“…… huh.”

I finished talking with Irene and left the cafe.

Irene asked for other conditions until the end with an expression that something was lacking, but I did not answer.

For now, I will think about it if you agree to my conditions.

Irene will probably be able to persuade Dr. Hyorin Kang, the head of the Korean branch.

‘If you’re the guild leader’s daughter, you’re invincible.’

Even though Dr. Kang Hyo-rin’s personality is strange, I will definitely ignore Irene’s words.

I returned home relieved.

– wow! This is it!

Liliana’s voice was heard from the entrance, raising the tension.

When I entered the house, I saw Liliana and Scarlett talking in the living room.

“Scout. Look at this. It’s really cool. It’s a succubus horn.”

“I see. That’s cool.”

Clap clap clap.

What are they doing again?

I walked up to Scarlett, who was clapping her hands.

“Huh? Lee Ho-yeon is already here!”

“Are you here?”

“You two were playing today.”

“Yes. Rebecca is in her room and Da-eun is training.”

For some reason, it seemed like only the two of them were visible.

I sat next to him and looked at the succubus horns that Liliana showed me.

It was a performance in which Liliana’s horn vibrated slightly when she released magical power.

Actually, I’m not sure what it means… They both look happy so it should be okay.

‘Now that I think about it, Scarlett works under Dr. Hyorin Kang.’

It would be better to tell Scarlett.

This must be said in advance to avoid misunderstandings.

“Scarlett. Are you still working under Dr. Hyorin Kang these days?”

“Of course. It’s a job where you don’t have to worry about getting fired.”

“Good. This time, the Korean branch of the Iris Guild is investigating the Flower Dungeon, and I’m planning to join in as well.”

“… Huh? I guess that’s not something you can do as you wish.”

“I asked Irene to persuade Dr. Hyorin Kang.”

“Uhm….”

Scarlett frowned when she heard me.

What are you dissatisfied with?

I told Scarlett.

“Did I speak too suddenly?”

“No. It’s not like that. But I don’t know how Kang Hyo-rin feels….”

“Hey, are you really going to say no to Irene?”

“Kang Hyo-rin’s personality was famous even in the Iris Guild. She was crazy, no, she was very opinionated.”

“….”

Scarlett must be really crazy to say something like that.

Of course, even when I saw her briefly, I thought she was a strange woman.

Still, a pretty crazy bitch isn’t bad.

“Maybe I’ll be rejected.”

“Is that it? Irene is going there herself?”

“Yes. And even if you get permission, there are procedures, so it will take quite some time.”

“That’s right.”

Iris Guild is not a local supermarket, and the process will be quite complicated.

An investigation team is not created overnight.

“It is not a problem that can be resolved solely through the judgment of the Korean branch manager.”

“Mmmmm. That’s right.”

That’s when Scarlett nodded and spoke.

Tiriring-

My smartwatch rang and I checked the screen.

– Dr. Hyorin Kang: Cadet Hoyeon Lee. I contacted the Hwadong Guild investigation team about joining. Please come to my lab.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the message.

I got Dr. Hyorin Kang’s number a while ago, but it’s so fast.

You just broke up with Irene?

“Scarlett.”

“yes?”

“Look at this.”

Scarlett looked at my smart watch and made an expression of not understanding.

“This can’t be happening. The Kang Hyorin I know would never….”

“Scarlett, weren’t you also fired from the Iris Guild?”

“I told you it wasn’t cut.”

He seemed very confused, so I played around with him a little and his reaction was funny.

Scarlett made an aggrieved expression, and Liliana, who had been listening to our conversation from the side, tapped Scarlett on the shoulder.

“It’s okay, Scout. You’re so talented, you’ll be good at anything you do.”

“So the thing that got cut… haha.”

I eventually couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, and Scarlett clenched her fists as she looked at my face.

Professor’s laboratory at the Academy.

After breaking up with Lee Ho-yeon, Irene immediately headed to Dr. Kang Hyo-rin’s laboratory.

Irene looked at Kang Hyo-rin’s lab and thought about it.

“… Should I go back now?”

A request to add Hoyeon Lee to the Hwadong Dungeon investigation team.

Irene, who had never used her power to get things done before, needed to make quite a big decision.

Of course, there was a way to deceive Lee Ho-yeon by saying that he had been rejected without saying anything to Kang Hyo-rin, but his pride did not allow that.

Keeping promises is Iris Guild’s philosophy.

‘Anyway, the opponent is Kang Hyo-rin.’

Kang Hyo-rin was a famous eccentric in the Iris Guild.

If it is out of her control, she may not allow it.

“Hmm. Can I come in?”

“Yes, please come in.”

Irene cleared her throat and opened the door.

The inside was clean.

Clean and attractive decor. Comfortable entertaining chairs and tables.

In a lab with a sophisticated and comfortable atmosphere, Kang Hyo-rin was seen working with a relaxed expression.

As soon as Kang Hyo-rin saw Irene’s face, she stood up and lowered her head.

“Team Leader 1 is here! Welcome!”

“…Branch Manager. I’ll say it again, there’s no need to speak up like that.”

The team leader at headquarters and the branch heads at each branch had similar positions.

Moreover, since they were the same age, there was no need to speak in such a high tone.

“How could you do that to Irene? Please sit here and I’ll make you some tea.”

“… huh.”

Hyorin Kang excitedly prepared tea.

‘What on earth are you so excited about?’

Since the atmosphere is always like that, Irene has now adapted to it.

Irene slowly opened her mouth as she drank the tea prepared by Kang Hyo-rin.

“What brings you here?”

“Well, there’s an investigation into the Flower Dungeon this time.”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

“I wanted to add just one person I know to the investigation team….”

“Hmm. Do you know someone?”

“… huh.”

Kang Hyo-rin tilted her head at Irene’s words.

I was curious as to why he would say something like that when he wasn’t the one to ask for favors.

“Irene, may I ask the reason?”

“It’s not a big deal, I’m just saying if you can, put it in. If you don’t like it, it’s okay not to put it in. Really.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s Lee Ho-yeon. You know that, right? I’m the cadet you teach.”

“Lee Ho-yeon…?”

Although Irene was very uncomfortable with the current situation of asking for a favor under the pretext of power, Kang Hyo-rin continued to think seriously.

‘Lee Ho-yeon.’

The man at the center of recent issues.

He is the direct disciple of the genius wizard Lim Sol.

A few days ago, he announced magic and research that would overturn the wizarding society, and since then, he has maintained a deep relationship with the chairman of the wizarding society.

In addition, he maintains a good relationship with the chairman of Victoria Academy, and is close to the student council president, as he often visits the student council room.

A man who is the head of the Korean branch of the Iris Guild, an information guild, and a professor at the Academy who cannot be ignored.

‘And Scarlett’s lover.’

Coincidentally, Kang Hyo-rin was also interested in him.

I knew he had a handsome face, but how attractive was he that women were so obsessed with?

He must have been a huge guy if he captured his friend Scarlett.

“I’ll say it again, it doesn’t matter if you don’t put it in….”

“I will allow it.”

Kang Hyo-rin spoke to Irene, who spoke with an anxious expression.

“… really?”

“Yes. If it’s what Irene says, we should listen.”

“No no no. It doesn’t have to be that way. It’s okay….”

“If we secretly join, there might be complaints. Rather, let’s make a big announcement. By collaborating with the Iris Guild.”

“I said there’s no need to open it that wide…?”

Thump-thud-thud-

Irene tried to stop her from doing something unnecessary, but Kang Hyo-rin tapped on the keyboard before Irene finished speaking.

This was a task to have Lee Ho-yeon officially join the investigation team.

“Can I contact Cadet Hoyeon Lee?”

“Uh, uh.”

“Then I will contact you directly. Irene, please rest comfortably.”

“…Yes. Haaa.”

He is also a difficult person to deal with.

‘But it was successful. No, should I say it was a success… .’

Irene sighed and looked at Kang Hyo-rin, who had an excited expression.

france.

The training ground at the Iris Guild headquarters.

Clap-clap-

Deukdeuk-deuk-

Blue shining ice crystals surrounded the sword.

The demons fall down every time the sword is swung.

The blonde beauty holding the sword fired magic at the demon who was looking for an opportunity.

– Cooo!

“Hmm…!”

The last remaining demon approached screaming, and after catching her breath, Ellis cut the last demon’s head in two.

At the same time, the magical barrier surrounding the area collapsed and the training ground system ended.

Chii Iik-

“Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ellis.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Ellis took the towel handed out by Sebas-chan and wiped off the sweat.

While living in France, the intensity of training was further increased.

The target is Lee Ho-yeon.

It may take a long time to catch up, but it’s okay to set big goals.

“That’s incredible growth, girl. But I still have a long way to go to deal with Wild Gladiator. There’s too much waste of magical power.”

“….”

Gulp.

Ellis cleared her throat, completely ignoring the centaur talking next to her.

After Lee Ho-yeon returned to Korea.

Chiron, who was imprisoned, took on the investigation with a sincere attitude, and his attitude and funny way of speaking began to gain favor with the guild members.

After that, Chiron quickly integrated into the Iris Guild and was liked by the guild leader, and was allowed to roam around the guild under the condition that he wear a magical restraint.

Chiron mostly spent time at the training ground.

His strong military power and generous attitude towards those weaker than himself were of great help in improving the skills of the guild members.

Most of the Iris guild members have adapted to Chiron, but Ellis, who has only seen his face for about a week, has still not adapted to this monster.

With her common sense, she couldn’t understand the situation where the centaur, who had been fighting for his life the last time she saw him, was talking nonsense right next to her.

Ellis whispered to Sebastian so that Chiron could not hear.

“…Sebas-chan. Can we really trust this magical beast?”

“Yes, it’s okay. I just need you to call me WIld Gladiator sometimes.”

“Wild Gladitor…?”

“Did you call me, girl?”

“evil!”

Elise swung her sword, which was still covered in ice, and chased Chiron away.

Chiron took a step back in response to his strong resistance and continued speaking.

“You’re a scary girl. But my pride lies in not touching anyone weaker than me. That’s Wild….”

“ha….”

What good is that crazy demon wandering around the guild?

Of course, I have to tell my dad right away today and ask him to take care of it.

“They should put him back in jail. Ugh.”

Ellis grumbled as he left the training ground.

Now was not the time to worry about such monsters.

“Still, he’s a good guy. He listens well.”

“… That’s it. Just say what you said earlier. Ho-yeon Lee decided to work at the Korean branch.”

Ellis said to Sebastian who was following behind.

Hoyeon Lee said she was doing something with the Iris Guild.

“To be precise, it is a collaboration with the Korean branch. It appears that they are creating an image by working with cadet Lee Ho-yeon, who has a good image in Korea.”

“It’s like an advertisement. How much does it cost?”

“They say there is no additional cost.”

“… really?”

Ellis opened her eyes wide and looked at Sebastian.

‘How did they roast and boil that man…? ?’

The Lee Ho-yeon she knew was the type of person who would avoid losses whenever possible.

You must be the Korean branch manager to persuade such a man.

“I just decided to investigate a dungeon in Korea, and it looks like I joined the dungeon investigation team.”

“Aha… Are you following me there too?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm””

I felt a little bad about going with my sister, but Ho-yeon Lee promised that he wouldn’t mess with my sister, so it would be okay.

Probably nothing much will happen.

‘… ‘Do you believe that?’

Ellis unconsciously laughed.

Trusting Lee Ho-yeon with a beautiful woman in front of you is like entrusting a fish to a cat.

Ellis thought about Hoyeon Lee’s face and thought about it.

If you think about it, we had a conversation about this topic the other day.

I don’t know exactly what curse was placed on Ho-yeon Lee, but I had clearly said that Ho-yeon Lee would not approach her sister first.

‘Then it will be okay.’

No matter how much of a flirt you are, it’s okay as long as you don’t approach him first.

Because it makes no sense for my sister to approach Lee Ho-yeon.

Ellis returned to his room in a relieved state.
