episode_0424

The day after I finished exploring the Hwadong dungeon.

I had been contacting Professor Lim Sol since morning.

– Me: I’m leaving now. professor? Are you going now?!

– Professor Sol-i: I told you to come slowly. It’s morning now.

– Me: No, it’s urgent. It’s real.

– Professor Sol-i: Okay. Then come back in an hour.

widely-

I turned off the smartwatch screen with a nervous expression.

I also didn’t want to contact you in the morning, but I had no choice.

Actually, I tried to go right away last night, but I was turned away because it was too late.

They said I was already home from work, so they attacked me.

They told me to come tomorrow morning if it’s that urgent, so I’m working hard to prepare.

“Are you going to have fun?”

“No. I know a professor, but I’m worried that the incubus might touch him.”

Liliana, who woke up early today, clung to me.

I guess I’m bored again.

“Looking at the urgency, I guess the professor is a virgin.”

“….”

Liliana had an expression that said the obvious.

If you say it so bluntly, what’s the point of answering?

I started talking to ease Liliana’s boredom and change the topic.

“Liliana. Is there any way to prevent regular measurements of the Incubus?”

“Checking the vital energy is like the life of an incubus. It cannot be easily prevented.”

“okay?”

They say it’s a life-threatening routine check, so I have nothing to say.

There is no need to doubt these words because they are spoken by Liliana, a succubus.

It would be difficult to prevent regular measurements from the beginning.

“Then is there a way to prevent subsequent fascination?”

“You should block it with a shield. You idiot.”

“… No, that’s not true. But I’m asking if there is a more effective way.”

The problem is that the charm can be blocked with a barrier or shield.

I wish there was a way for me to cope.

“Well, in the end, fascination is the same as charm. If your mental power is strong, you will be able to endure it.”

“What if the person holding out is a virgin?”

“That will be difficult. Incubus becomes stronger when dealing with virgins.”

“Hmm… Isn’t it okay if I have very strong magic power?”

“I don’t know. It depends on how strong the incubus is.”

I made a confused expression.

The people who live in hell are all strange, after all.

This is the first time in my life I have ever heard of an incubus that only becomes strong to virgins.

And if my prediction is correct, that incubus is the devil’s child.

It’s probably the highest level among incubuses.

I was anxious about whether Imsol would be able to endure.

“Or there is a way to develop tolerance. If you continue to receive fascination of similar intensity, you will develop tolerance.”

“…Then it’s too late.”

Liliana spoke with me in mind as much as she could, but listening to it didn’t really change anything.

I muttered, worried about Im Sol.

“It’s frustrating….”

“It would be best to just take off the virgin label.”

“That’s the problem because it doesn’t work.”

If I was going to go out with Imsol in such a futile manner, I would have done it in my accommodation in the United States.

The sweeter the fruit, the more you endure it.

We have to persevere because of the efforts we have made so far.

‘Of course, I can’t do it even if I want to.;

There was no way they would allow the incubus to come in the first place.

Any Imsol I know would scoff.

Because he is a person who has great faith in his own magic.

“Baby daddy. Where are you going?”

“Ah, Rebecca. I’m going to the academy for a while.”

At that time, Rebecca, who was approaching, spoke to me.

Her flowing red hair looks like she just got out of the wash.

“Are you going to Wizard Imsol?”

“yes.”

“Then I’ll take you too! You promised.”

“… Ah, that’s right.”

Rebecca approached me with an expectant smile.

Come to think of it, I decided to take this person too.

‘Let’s just take him.’

It’s good if there are a lot of people.

Because Rebecca is not a virgin.

“Then we leave in 30 minutes.”

“Yes. I will prepare.”

Imsol told me to come back in an hour, but I have to go in 30 minutes.

After hearing what I said, Rebecca nodded with satisfaction and started getting ready.

Meanwhile, I lay on Liliana’s thighs and continued to think seriously about the incubus.

*

Knock knock.

Rebecca and I knocked on Lim Sol’s lab.

Normally I would naturally go inside, but since I came 30 minutes early, I have to be considerate.

Tiring-

Then a reply came from the smart watch.

– Professor Sol-i: Why are you here already?

– Me: I came quickly because I missed you. Oh, the wizard I mentioned before is also here.

– Professor Sol-i: Okay. Then come in.

“Okay, Rebecca. Let’s go in.”

After receiving the answer, I turned my head to the side and saw Rebecca with her head bowed as if she was praying.

What is this person doing?

“Mr. Rebecca?”

“Baby dad. I can’t do it. My heart is shaking so much. I’ll go in a little later.”

“…?”

“Deep breath. Take a deep breath… phew.”

Rebecca seemed genuinely nervous.

Should I be that nervous about meeting Im Sol?

It seems like it’s as great a task as finding Rune’s clan.

“Okay, then come in when you calm down. You can come to the office.”

“Yeah. I’ll go first.”

Rebecca took a deep breath as if trying to relax.

I wanted to see the professor as soon as possible, so I left Rebecca behind and went inside.

After passing through the now familiar scenery of the laboratory, I headed to Lim Sol’s office.

Thump- thud-

When I went inside, I saw Im Sol looking into the magic experiment area wearing comfortable pink sweats.

I feel relieved to see things as usual.

I approached Lim Sol and said hello.

“Professor Sol! I’m here!”

“Yes. It came very quickly.”

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Imsol smiling as always.

Fortunately, nothing much happened.

Nothing happened in one day.

“You don’t know how much I missed you. Phew….”

“Okay, okay. What’s going on? Now tell me.”

“hmm….”

Imsol asked calmly.

I thought for a moment if I could talk about the incubus, but then decided to just say it.

Anyway, the Iris guild members also saw the incubus, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

What’s important is Imsol’s safety.

I started explaining to Imsol about the incubus I met in the Hwadong dungeon.

There is an incubus with strong charm powers.

The incubus tries to absorb the beauty’s energy.

and… The virgin becomes vulnerable to the attacks of the incubus.

“Hmm….”

“I came here to check on your condition and tell you this. I ask you to pay more attention to the barrier from now on. You are so pretty that an incubus would covet you.”

Imsol listened to me quietly and nodded with a smile.

“If that’s what our student is talking about, then so be it.”

“Yes. Of course. I was so worried.”

“Seeing as you only came to me so quickly, do you think the other friends are okay?”

“….”

Imsol hit the nail on the head.

I was afraid to say it because I was afraid he might say something like that, but he really said what he thought.

“It’s because I thought of Professor Lim Sol first.”

“I must be the strongest in terms of force, right?”

“…what does it matter?”

“Hmm.”

Imsol nodded and smiled strangely.

It was as if he really thought that.

… Still, I said something important, so it’s okay, right?

I said something else to change the subject.

“By the way, I brought a wizard with me. He really liked the professor.”

“What a fascinating wizard.”

“Yes. I thought it would be good for the three of us to have a conversation. I think the professor would like it too.”

“Okay. Oh, I heard Ayoung would be coming later too. Is that okay?”

“Huh? Ayoung?”

I tilted my head.

Why is Baek Ayoung suddenly coming?

“Since you said you’d be coming in the morning, Ayoung said she’d get ready right away, right? We can all watch it together.”

“… Well, there’s nothing that can’t be done.”

Actually, there is no big problem.

You may be upset about Im Sol coming this morning, but if you explain the incubus to Baek A-young, she will understand.

Maybe he will be glad that Im Sol is a virgin.

Knock knock-

– may I come in?

At that time, Rebecca appeared to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

When I opened the door to the office with Imsol’s permission, Rebecca came in with a nervous expression.

“Ah, hello. Wizard Imsol.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you.”

“This is Rebecca, the wizard I was talking about. She specializes in barriers.”

“… okay?”

Imsol answered with his eyes fixed on Rebecca’s face.

Perhaps he is gauging the opponent’s strength.

Imsol, who looked at Rebecca for a moment, stood up and said.

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

“thank you.”

‘I was recognized.’

You can tell just by looking at Im Sol’s face.

I was interested in Rebecca.

I nodded.

It’s a natural result.

How strong is Rebecca?

Imsol smiled and gave Rebecca some tea, and the two soon started talking.

“So, Rebecca? I heard you wanted to talk to me.”

“Yes. I was impressed by Wizard Imsol’s research. I really wanted to talk about it.”

“Aha… That’s amazing. I never thought there would be a magician as strong as Rebecca at my age.”

The two, who were awkward at first, quickly accepted each other.

Rebecca really wanted to see Imsol, and Imsol seemed happy that there was such a wizard in the same age group as her.

Because I was a little concerned about the guidance that was apparent on the outside.

I’d be happy to see a wizard other than me appear.

You can tell just by looking at him personally serving tea and continuing the conversation.

The professor, who usually only gave short answers, continued the conversation at length.

“My favorite things are Leonardo’s magic proof and Kamigrin’s theorem. And….”

“Leonardo’s magic formula is a topic I also like. Magic circles and other magic that exist in parallel worlds….”

“Well, as expected, Wizard Imsol. From that point of view….”

“Now that I think about it, you said Rebecca is a barrier magic specialist, right?”

“Yes. Ah, if I show you here….”

Imsol and Rebecca started talking excitedly about magic.

‘I didn’t know Rebecca was this serious about magic.’

Rebecca’s eyes sparkled like a fangirl meeting her idol.

Well, to be that strong at that age, you have to be serious about magic.

He probably worked hard to become stronger ever since he went looking for Rune’s clan.

It seems like Lim Sol’s research was of great help at that time.

“It’s amazing. It’s called a barrier, but there’s something that goes beyond it….”

“Yes. If I’m inside the barrier, something like this….”

The two of them didn’t even care about my presence and had a great time chatting about magic.

okay.

Sometimes you have to focus on your hobbies like that.

I could roughly understand everything, so I didn’t feel left out.

But didn’t you say earlier that Baek A-young was coming too?

‘It would be very uncomfortable if Baek Ayoung came here.’

I can talk about magic, but Baek Ayoung can’t.

She only has basic knowledge and doesn’t know much about these specialized areas.

However, it didn’t seem like these two people would stop talking about magic out of consideration for Baek Ah-young.

Ding- tidik-

I tapped my smart watch and sent a message to Baek Ayoung.

– Me: Mr. Ayoung. Are you coming to Professor Lim Sol’s lab?”

– Baek Ayoung: Yes. I’m on my way now. why?

– Me: I’ll be waiting in front. Hurry.

I quickly got up from my seat.

I guess I’ll have to go pick up Baek Ayoung.

The two were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn’t even notice me waking up.

When it comes to magic and space, there’s still a lot left to talk about.

I came here because I was worried about the incubus, but fortunately nothing happened.

I left the two of them alone and went out of the office to wait for Baek A-young, who would soon come.
