episode_0501

There is a training ground in the basement of Lee Ho-yeon’s mansion.

Sigh-!

Two powerful magical forces collide and make a roaring sound.

This is usually where Nam Da-eun does her personal training, but today other people were there.

Crack. Crackling… .

Rebecca’s rune barrier flinches as it collides with the hellish magic unleashed by Hoyeon Lee.

A method of using the rune barrier as an attack.

This is the fighting style she is researching.

“Baby dad, how about dealing with it this way?”

“It’s not bad… Hell’s magic power has a different structure from normal magic power. If you look at it now….”

Standing at the training ground were Lee Ho-yeon and Rebecca.

What Rebecca requested was sparring using the magic of hell.

She, who had been sharpening her sword since being attacked by Lucifer, asked Lee Ho-yeon to help her get used to the magic of hell.

“Then what about exploiting the gap between magic? Compared to baby daddy’s other magic, it seems a bit loose.”

“Uh… that might be my lack of skill.”

“Ugh, what should I do? I have no weaknesses.”

“I think it would be better to get used to it rather than trying to find weaknesses. Rebecca, I can feel that she is handling it much better than when she first started.”

“Yes, but….”

Hell’s magic power is different from human magic power, and is not superior.

The reason that strong wizards Rebecca and Imsol were affected by the magic of hell was because it was a new entity, and if they get used to it, they will no longer be able to use it as a secret weapon.

‘Now that I think about it, what is Lucifer doing?’

Over the past few days, pandemic terrorism has increased abnormally.

If you see him running wild like a horse with no reins, Lucifer must be doing something… I’m worried about how quiet it is.

“Okay, just sparring. Let’s keep going until you get used to it.”

“I understand. If Rebecca tries so hard, I should help her.”

Hoyeon Lee raised his magical power again as Rebecca said.

Since I’ve helped you so far, I guess I should help myself too.

However, Ho-yeon Lee could not concentrate properly on sparring.

By chance, Rebecca came in while I was thinking about something important, so I kept thinking about it even in the middle of the sparring session.

‘… ‘What does Rebecca think of me?’

Rebecca’s favorability rating is 100.

What does Rebecca, who thinks of herself as her husband and supports her, think of a person named Lee Ho-yeon?

If you confess the truth to Rebecca, how will she react?

Useless thoughts lingered in my head, and since I was in the middle of a battle, it was natural for me to lose concentration.

Rebecca, who did not miss the opportunity, completely destroyed Lee Ho-yeon’s hellish magic.

“ah….”

“Baby dad. I feel like I can’t concentrate… are you okay?”

“… Yes. I’m sorry, but can we continue tomorrow? I’m not feeling very well today.”

“Uh, okay. Well, it’s late.”

Rebecca smiled brightly, but Hoyeon Lee felt sorry for no reason.

If you’re going to help, you should definitely help. Sparring like this is also a nuisance to Rebecca.

Jiying-

Rebecca and Hoyeon Lee shut down the training ground system.

At the same time, Scarlett, who was sitting in the corner, came towards me.

“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s have some tea.”

“Ah, thank you, Scarlett.”

“Thank you, Miss Scarlett.”

“You finished earlier than expected. Is that all for today?”

“Yes. The baby’s father isn’t feeling well. Let’s rest for a while and then go up.”

The three sat at a table inside the training center and took a short break.

For your information, Scarlett came down when she heard that Lee Ho-yeon was sparring with Rebecca, saying she would at least watch since she had nothing else to do.

Rebecca and Hoyeon Lee took a short break while sipping the tea prepared by Scarlett.

The last one ended in a blur, but I had been working pretty hard up until then, so I needed time to cool down.

“Does Da-eun still come to practice every day?”

“Yes. Miss Da-eun is also cleaning the training ground.”

“Hehe. Somehow. It’s neat every time I come.”

“Rebecca, please clean up what you used yourself. Just because there is a clean magic circle doesn’t mean everything can be solved.”

“I’m trying….”

Watching Rebecca and Scarlett chatting made me think that they had become really close.

When Rebecca first attacked Hoyeon Lee and learned about Rune’s clan.

The other three women who were already staying at the house were all uncomfortable with Rebecca.

In particular, Scarlett used to run away from Rebecca’s type because she found it difficult, but now they’ve become so comfortable with each other.

It is not a lie to say that time is medicine.

‘If you think about it, the compatibility is really nice.’

It may be a prejudice, but Rebecca’s personality was very cheerful, unlike her unfortunate past where she lost her family at a young age.

That means her heart is strong.

This is something worth respecting.

“Huh? Baby daddy. Is there something on my face?”

Rebecca, who was talking with a faint smile, tilted her head when she felt Hoyeon Lee’s gaze.

I stared at him without saying anything, and it seemed like he had something to say.

“What do you think of me, Rebecca?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Of course I respect and like you as your husband.”

“To be exact, about a person named Lee Ho-yeon. I think she has lived a good life in her own way… but I have a lot of concerns about how I should act in the future.”

I was curious about Rebecca and Scarlett’s opinions.

Because they are people who know most of Lee Ho-yeon’s situation and feel like adults.

Maybe he will give you some helpful advice.

“Hmm. The baby’s father is a good person. But as a man, what can I say? Uh… bad boy style?”

“Rebecca. You can honestly say it’s trash.”

“Ah. Anyway, how can you say that to your husband?”

“… I guess that’s true too, right?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know. It’s just… no.”

It was so obvious that I wasn’t even angry.

From the women’s perspective, they must feel like trash.

However, as long as the main quest existed, his resentment could not be relieved.

I couldn’t tell this to the women, and in the end, the only answer was a fake dungeon plan.

Although it was an expected result, I felt bitter.

“You look very unfair.”

“Okay. Baby dad, what’s going on?”

Hoyeon Lee suddenly became curious about the two people looking at her.

Even if Rebecca said it was because of Rune’s clan, what would Scarlett think?

“… I’m not being sarcastic, but why does Scarlett like me?”

“I think you’re being sarcastic.”

“Not really. I was just curious.”

Scarlett looked at Hoyeon Lee’s face and sipped her tea.

It is true that this person is strange, but he is not a bad person.

I’m not being sarcastic.

“It may not be an accurate analogy, but imagine that a man and a woman who promised to marry each other discover a pretty big flaw right before the wedding. At that time, there are people who cut it like a knife and people who don’t. I have a lot of affection, so I can’t break it off.”

“… I think it makes a bit of sense. It means that there are both disadvantages and advantages. I’m that type of person too.”

“To be honest, analyzing Hoenn’s actions is more difficult than the Iris Guild’s work. I don’t know where it will lead.”

“That’s right. Especially the baby’s father’s relationship with women is scary….”

“He is comparable to the Night Emperor of the Iris Guild. From today onwards, I will call him the Day Emperor.”

“That person started working as soon as he saw me.”

“He even started flirting with me, whom I had seen since I was young.”

I laughed out loud when I saw the two turning around excitedly.

Maybe it’s because I thought it was so obvious until now, but the conversation didn’t stop when I talked about this topic.

‘I feel a little sad.’

If there is someone like Da-eun who takes my side unconditionally, then there must also be a type like Scarlett.

I know, but should I call it obscene for no reason?

I understand because I know his personality, but I felt a little sad that the girl I liked said something like that.

“… What if my actions had a reason?”

“Is there a reason? Really?”

“Well… assuming there is. Then it would be less trash, right?”

It didn’t mean much.

I wanted to hear a word of comfort like, ‘If there is a great reason, it can be done~’.

But Rebecca shook her head.

“Someone might think that you are saving the world. … But even if you save the world, it is the same. I think the baby’s father is mistaken.”

“Is it an illusion?”

“Do you think they’re calling me trash simply because I’m a playboy?”

“…Isn’t that it?”

Rebecca kept her mouth shut and carefully thought of what to say.

It’s been a long time since I talked to the women about Lee Ho-yeon’s condition.

I also know that I have concerns that I cannot tell him.

Looking at what he said today, I was able to be sure that his concerns were about relationships with women.

However, as Lee Ho-yeon’s woman, she also needed to worry.

‘What should I say…? .’

There is a saying that life is a comedy when seen from afar, and a tragedy when seen up close.

Any worry depends on how you look at it, and you can’t really know the pain unless you are yourself.

If I do it, it’s romance, if someone else does it, it’s adultery.

Most people are strict with others and lenient with themselves.

That’s why in-depth conversation is important, but I couldn’t do that with Ho-yeon Lee.

“… Even if there is something going on, if the baby’s father hides it, no one will know about it.”

Even if the causal relationship is clear and self-evident, it is meaningless if only you know it.

To other people, he is just a strange person.

Scarlett also nodded as if she sympathized.

“It must be absurd from the perspective of the person being victimized. A man who meets 10 women takes the attitude that it is unfair.”

“… I’m sorry if you felt that way. I really didn’t mean to.”

“No. It’s not that I don’t like Hoenn.”

Scarlett, who felt sorry for a moment, approached Lee Ho-yeon’s side.

I took advantage of the mood and spoke strongly, but seeing him lower his head may have hurt him a little.

Scarlett’s pleasant scent approaches me.

Scarlett, with her hands on her knees, looked at Hoyeon Lee as if she felt sorry.

Hoyeon Lee held Scarlett’s hand and smiled bitterly.

‘… ‘It’s a little difficult to hear the truth.’

Rebecca lost her Rune clan when she was younger than Lee Ho-yeon is now.

Despite this, he has not lost his cheerfulness and is a very mature person.

She can see something different from what she sees.

“Rebecca. Other than a womanizer, why do you think I’m a bad person?”

“…what can I say? I have an attitude problem.”

Rebecca looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s expression and wondered for a moment whether she should continue speaking or not, but it was something she would have to say at least once.

Of course, Rebecca planned to serve Hoyeon Lee as her husband no matter how many women he had.

However, for his future and the education of his future children, Lee Ho-yeon must stand upright.

“I don’t know if I can say this, but my dad’s life feels like simple factory work.”

“… yes?”

“Especially in relationships with women. I know that the baby’s father is a kind and good person. But uhm… sometimes I feel like that. I’m not dating because I like it, but it’s work and I feel like I’m enjoying it. Do you understand the difference?”

“I think I know what it feels like. When the clock strikes 9 o’clock, it’s like it’s Scarlett’s turn.”

“…….”

It felt like I got hit in the face with cold water.

The two’s words snap Ho-yeon Lee out of his daze.

What a simple task.

Lee Ho-yeon had never thought of women like that.

I always thought he was sincere, and he was.

‘… Do Rebecca and Scarlett, who you keep seeing, feel that way?’

Even though other women thought she was trash, they didn’t say things like that.

But Rebecca and Scarlett live together and have been watching her actions.

Neither of them said it with the intention of disparaging themselves.

If so, it means that it is a truly objective point of view.

No, perhaps it was because of his high level of favorability that he spoke favorably of it.

If that’s the case, then maybe there really is something wrong with you.

“… Thank you. For being honest with both of us. I’ll go up first and rest.”

I had a lot to say, but there were too many things that were on my mind.

I needed to clear my mind.

I wanted to be alone now.

stagger.

Hoyeon Lee got up from her seat and staggered up to her room.

“Hmm… seems like a serious illness.”

“Okay. Do I need to get physical therapy?”

And Rebecca and Scarlett, who were watching, sipped the remaining tea.

Lee Ho-yeon’s appearance as she was leaving looked so pitiful.

“I think I said it too harshly. I feel sorry for some reason.”

“The baby’s father is very serious, but he has a surprisingly weak heart.”

“I see. It was Rebecca’s turn today, right? You need to cheer up.”

“Wow. Miss Scarlett made me feel bad. What am I going to do with my turn today, huh? How can I get pregnant in this kind of atmosphere?”

Rebecca later regretted it.

It would have been better to say this tomorrow instead of today.

Unfortunately, my turn became ambiguous today.

Scarlett smiled when she saw Rebecca sad about not being able to get pregnant.

“… I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry.”

“Really? How?”

“Please follow me.”

Scarlett neatly emptied the remaining tea and then stood up.
