“It wasn’t just Rebecca. Liliana, Da-eun, Scarlett… and other women were the target.”

Hoyeon Lee continued calmly.

Even now that I am apologizing to the heroines, I cannot express the emotions I felt while creating the fake dungeon magic circle.

At that time, I thought it was inevitable to deceive heroines in order to create a harem.

That’s why they created a fake dungeon.

Was he crazy?

Is it because of his clear mental power?

Or are they just born bad?

I still don’t know.

But whatever the cause, it was Lee Ho-yeon who made the choice, and she knew that that choice was wrong.

Since you did something terrible, you need to reflect and apologize.

I’ve had enough of reflecting on myself while fighting Lucifer, so I should also apologize.

“It means that the targets were women who had a deep relationship with Hoyeon. Everyone else is just a trick.”

“yes.”

Scarlett, who was quietly drinking coffee without participating in the conversation, chimed in with a word.

“… Even though I know the goal, I don’t understand it. What were you trying to do by kidnapping us like that?”

Scarlett is quick-witted. Of course I knew that Lee Ho-yeon had a secret.

I quickly realized that Liliana’s guess was wrong after seeing Lee Ho-yeon’s actions.

However, even Scarlett could not understand the cause of the terrorism committed by Lee Ho-yeon.

“That’s right, Scarlett. Actually, I don’t know. At first, I just wanted to use the dungeon to impress everyone, right? At some point, I started relying on the fake dungeon. I thought if I just made it, this whole situation would be solved.”

The frustrating situation also made Lee Ho-yeon anxious.

At some point, I began to think that creating fake dungeons was an important task in itself.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Does this mean you have a ton of female friends?”

“that’s right.”

“Could it have been a plan to win the favor of women by successfully breaking through the dungeon’s traps or creating a crisis?”

“Yeah. That was very stupid.”

“How could you have such a foolish thought?”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled bitterly at Scarlett’s words.

“I felt like I was backed into a corner… I felt like I had to do something. I’m sorry.”

“Then the reason the baby’s father created the magic circle was to lure us more clearly.”

“….”

Even after hearing Hoyeon Lee’s words, Rebecca nodded and said something strange.

It’s kind of funny when you express it like that.

Should I say that I am fortunate? The heroines who stay at Lee Ho-yeon’s house have lenient views on the harem, like Rebecca.

So I was able to speak with a little peace of mind.

“How was that magic circle stolen? Me and the baby’s father made it, so the security must have been great.”

“Well, I found out during the dismantling that I was robbed too.”

“Dismantling? A magic circle?”

“Yes… I thought this wasn’t right so I tried to dismantle the magic circle.”

“But you repented in the end.”

“Don’t say that. It’s easier to just call him a bad guy.”

“Didn’t I tell you that the baby’s father isn’t a bad guy? I praised him because I thought it would be more uncomfortable to praise him.”

“….”

Hoyeon Lee quietly lowered his head.

okay. Since I decided to apologize, it’s natural to feel uncomfortable.

“I know that Lee Ho-yeon did something stupid. But why are you suddenly talking? If you had just stayed quiet, everyone would have ignored it quietly. Are you stupid?”

“… It’s late, but I wanted to apologize. I’m sorry if I embarrassed you by saying it so suddenly. But I didn’t think the people here would be embarrassed.”

“How worried I was, you devil! If it weren’t for Lucifer, I wouldn’t have been so fake worried!”

“The baby’s father is lucky that Lucifer stole the magic circle. It’s a shame because it was a real crisis. He would have been really angry if he had been worried and found out that it was a fake.”

Rebecca may be right.

Since Lee Ho-yeon herself fought to the death, there was less rejection from the heroines.

“I’m still angry. I think you two are too nice.”

Scarlett shook her head after hearing Rebecca and Liliana’s words and then continued speaking.

“… Hoyeon. I think it would be better to definitely cut off my girlfriends right now. There are too many of them.”

“Oh. Please don’t hang up on me!”

“Baby dad. We are a close married couple. We haven’t even had a child yet.”

“… I don’t think so. I’m sorry Scarlett. That might be a little difficult.”

“But weren’t you planning on telling the other women the truth about the dungeon?”

“Maybe… I guess so.”

Even if he didn’t have to talk about the fake dungeon, he planned to tell all the heroines that he was having relationships with several women.

If I didn’t confess that, Hoyeon Lee would feel very frustrated.

“No matter how nice the women around Hoyeon are, I wonder if there are a few people who are so disappointed that they reconsider their relationship with Hoyeon?”

“… Well, then I’ll do my best to change his mind.”

“He seems like a genuine man when it comes to dealing with trash topics.”

Hoyeon Lee sighed deeply.

Actually, I don’t know.

The likeability ratings of all the heroines were high, so the likelihood that things would turn out well was quite high.

If there are bad results, I will have to do whatever it takes to change my mind.

Come on.

At that time, something warm and soft wrapped Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.

When I turned my head, I saw Nam Da-eun who was quiet.

“Hoyeon. I don’t know, but… wasn’t it because of the curse placed on you that caused you to act like that? If it was force majeure, I don’t think it’s Hoyeon’s fault.”

“… That’s not important. I was simply thinking short.”

Lee Ho-yeon thought as she watched Nam Da-eun holding her hand carefully.

curse.

It seems everyone heard about the curse from Ellis.

To be exact, it’s not a curse… In some ways, it could be described as a curse.

If you don’t clear the main quest, everyone will eventually die.

You could say that Hoyeon Lee’s behavior is due to the pressure of the main quest, but this isn’t a game.

Even if you defeat the Demon King and clear the main quest, ‘everyone lived happily ever after.’ Everything does not end with a simple statement.

– Hoyeon is mine!

– Oh, this cat thief! at there!

– Please stop fighting!

~END~

You can’t be persuaded by the same poor ending credits.

Reality requires clear results.

‘I was wrong from the beginning.’

I should have convinced everyone one by one from the beginning, but it was my fault for trying to do it all at once.

Now that I think about it, confessing in front of everyone is a stupid thing to say.

No one would want an apology like that.

“I’m really sorry even though I’m late. I was originally going to tell you when we were all together, but no matter how much I think about it, that’s a bit too much….”

“If that’s what you wanted to say in the dungeon, it’s a good thing you didn’t say it.”

Scarlett nodded.

Although I’m angry, it was a good decision not to say it there. I can’t even imagine what kind of disaster would have occurred if this tactless man had made a bombshell statement there.

“I’m sorry. Da-eun too. Thank you for trusting me.”

“Ugh. Hoyeon is my benefactor. I will trust him no matter what he does.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he hugged Nam Da-eun, who was clinging to him.

It somehow breaks my heart that he tried to deceive Nam Da-eun, who trusted him so much.

“Is it because I knew the truth from the beginning? It’s less shocking.”

“What? Rebecca. If you had known, you should have told me from the beginning!”

“… I said it clearly. But Liliana, you said something strange. Everyone was so caught up in the atmosphere that they didn’t even remember what I said.”

“Huh. Was that so?”

Liliana tilted her head.

Now that I think about it, it seems like Rebecca was talking about a magic circle or something.

“Well, since people who liked Hoenn gathered together, they probably tried to think positively of him somehow. But the reality was even more cruel.”

“I’m sorry Scarlett. I’m really reflecting.”

“… Sigh. It’s probably my fault for sitting in this house even though I knew it was trash.”

Scarlett was still angry, but since the women she lived with wanted Lee Ho-yeon so much, it was strange for Scarlett to be angry alone.

Moreover, Scarlett knew that Hoyeon Lee fought harder than anyone else in the battle with Lucifer.

It was an injury that would not be surprising even if he died about three times.

‘It was a little cool when I saved him from Lucifer.’

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been more angry.

Scarlett lowered the corners of her mouth that were about to rise and tried to maintain a stern expression.

“I don’t know about the magic circle, but I’m glad I caught Lucifer. Anyway, thanks to that magic circle, Lucifer appeared. I really wanted to catch him someday.”

“Thank you, Liliana.”

“And after meeting Lucifer, my magical powers strangely returned.”

Shuuuk-

Liliana created a magic sphere in her hand and repeatedly threw it upward and caught it, as if juggling.

“… That’s right. Let’s find out the reason later.”

The fact that Liliana’s magic power, which should have been weaker than mine, has become stronger is something that definitely needs to be investigated.

Perhaps the ban on her has weakened… .

I think I need to personally investigate.

“Why? Are you busy today?”

“Yeah. I have a lot of work to do. I have to leave right away.”

A large-scale terrorist attack struck Victoria Academy.

We need to go to the person who is suffering the most about this.

*

“After all, the security team is the problem, right? If it’s security near the park, then the rear team… No. Since the water above is rotten, perhaps the water below is also rotten.”

Victoria Academy’s Student Council Office.

As soon as Moon Su-rin escaped from the fake dungeon, she was faced with a mountain of documents.

The culprit of the fake dungeon was clear, but how they breached the academy’s security was the question that needed to be figured out.

“There’s not a day when I’m not busy… I was a victim in my own way.”

As the student council president, how difficult was it to direct the inside of the dungeon and reassure people?

Not to mention the battle with Lucifer. I really almost died.

If Hoyeon wasn’t there, I probably would have died three times.

At least he was the one who fought behind the scenes, so that’s about it. Other people’s condition will be worse.

Moon Su-rin lowered her head as she looked at the mountain of documents.

I know it’s something I have to do, and I know there’s no one else to do it but myself.

But is this level of workload really right as soon as you get out of the dungeon?

“There’s nothing we can do. Let’s do our best.”

Creep- Creep-

Moon Su-rin swallowed her regrets and concentrated on her work.

How many hours have passed?

Moon Su-rin’s work speed was amazing, but the speed at which work came in was also amazing.

The damage to the fake dungeon was small compared to its scale. The subsequent actions weren’t that much of a problem, but it was quite difficult to investigate the pandemic that instigated Lucifer and find the loopholes in security.

‘I just want to relax and play with Hoyeon…’ .’

Moon Su-rin stretched and pressed herself against the backrest.

If you focus on work for too long, your efficiency will decrease.

I should at least drink coffee and rest for a while.

smart.

“Yes. Just leave it on the desk.”

Moon Su-rin answered without even looking at the door.

Also, the workload has increased.

After answering the call several times, I now know it’s a clerk just by hearing the knock.

“Student President. It’s not extra work, you have a guest.”

“Guest? Who is it?”

The knock was a clerk, as expected, but it was not extra work.

Was there anyone who came to visit you?

The Chairman also had a busy schedule like Moon Su-rin, so he would not have time to visit.

“Chairman, I’m here.”

“Hoyeon!”

Jump up.

Su-rin Moon got up from her seat and went out to meet Ho-yeon Lee at the door.

“Hoyeon is here! If I had called in advance, I would have prepared something.”

“No, Sister Surin. Are you busy right now?”

“I’m not busy at all. Still, I’m sorry for not being able to take care of Hoyeon right after I came out of the dungeon.”

“I ran away because there were so many reporters.”

Actually, I left because I had a lot to worry about… I made that excuse back then.

Ho-yeon Lee gave Moon Su-rin a hug as she approached her and glanced at the desk.

‘… What are you asking? Of course you’re busy.’

If something like that happened at Victoria Academy, there’s no way the student council president, Su-rin Moon, wouldn’t be busy.

When I scanned the title of the document, I saw some information that seemed somewhat familiar.

– Academy security team reorganization… .

– Follow-up measures and recovery from terrorism… .

– Ownership of Mine Lucifer’s body.

“Do you have any questions? Oh, that’s right. There was a bit of a dispute over the ownership of Lucifer’s body. I insisted that Hoenn was the first person to claim ownership, so I took it… but do you need it?”

“Ah… Yes. It would be nice to have. For magic research.”

“That’s good. Then I’ll take care of this for you too.”

Moon Su-rin smiled brightly.

The old people tried to take ownership of it, giving ridiculous reasons, but if Hoyeon wanted it, it was worth taking it away.

“Anyway, why did you come to hang out? If you came because you wanted to see your sister, it would be nice. Oh, at least have a cup of coffee. I was just about to take a break.”

“… yes.”

Ho-yeon Lee entered the student council president’s office while being seen off by Su-rin Moon.
