Chapter Index

    Hoyeon Lee entered the room, stretched and sat down at the desk.

    When I teased Rebecca, her body came to life.

    I feel like my head will start spinning at this level.

    widely-

    Click. Click.

    I sat down at my desk, opened my notebook, and clicked my ballpoint pen.

    Hoyeon Lee’s only good habit was to sit down at her desk and organize important work when she didn’t know what to do right away.

    “…But what should I do now?”

    It’s not that there’s nothing to do.

    There is so much to do that I don’t know what to do.

    Crumbling.

    – Magical research. What was used in Imsol and Dalian??

    Become stronger!

    I immediately write down what comes to mind in a notebook.

    Ho-yeon Lee recently killed the demon king Lucifer in the original work.

    In the process, Ho-yeon Lee’s level also went up several notches after realizing new magic.

    However, compared to the results that exceeded expectations, the flow of the battle was a mess.

    ‘You have to become even stronger.’

    Slurp-

    A magic circle appears above Hoyeon Lee’s hand.

    Before he knew it, his eyes were shining a brilliant gold color.

    ‘Opening eyes, heart.’

    As soon as the opening eye is activated, the composition of the magic circle naturally enters Lee Ho-yeon’s mind.

    Lee Ho-yeon erased the magic circle with a light gesture and pondered with her arms crossed.

    “If you look at it this way, it’s just similar to open eyes.”

    ──『Opening Eyes』 ──

    ▶ Unique skills

    ▶ Concentrate mana in the eyes to increase eye power to the maximum.

    The ability to recognize and distinguish beings or shapes imbued with mana is maximized.

    ───────

    ──『Opening eyes. Heart』 ──

    ▶ Unique skills

    ▶ Hoyeon Lee can understand everything about Mana the moment she wants.

    Realize the law of all things and surpass the level of mana.

    ───────

    “There are a lot of words written that seem to have something to do with it.”

    The awakening of Open Eyes was a major turning point in the battle with Lucifer.

    Because he succeeded in regaining the magic circle by slipping through the cracks of Lucifer, who was using more magical power than himself.

    “If I think about it now… I won in a very rough manner.”

    It is fortunate that a good result was obtained, but now Lee Ho-yeon can look at the situation objectively.

    Coincidence coincided with Lucifer’s personality and the situations of the surrounding heroines. Even Lee Ho-yeon’s awakening.

    It was truly incredible luck.

    Even if just one place was off, Lee Ho-yeon and the heroines might have died.

    “There’s no guarantee that we’ll be this lucky next time.”

    No matter how many times you’ve won like this so far, there’s no guarantee that you’ll do it again next time.

    If you collapse in the most important battle against the Demon King, everything you have done so far will be useless.

    Crumbling.

    – Perfect preparation is needed to kill the devil… . New magic?

    A unique phenomenon that occurred during a sparring match with Im Sol. That’s worth studying again.

    Ho-yeon Lee has the ability to supplement her memories, so she can embody the same sensations at that time.

    Crumbling.

    – Black pillars and dungeon explosion phenomenon.

    The next thing to think about is the abnormal phenomenon that has appeared in the world.

    Because of targeting heroines and preparing fake dungeons, I couldn’t pay attention to really important things.

    “It is confirmed that the pandemic and abnormal phenomena are related.”

    Lee Ho-yeon does not know what process is necessary for the Demon King to descend into this world.

    What is certain is that the black pillar does not exist in the original work. There was a similar phenomenon in the dungeon explosion, but this also occurred much earlier.

    In other words, it is the butterfly effect that occurred because of Lee Ho-yeon.

    “As the dungeon explodes, it creates an environment similar to hell and slowly assimilates with the Earth… So what is the role of the black pillar?”

    Lee Ho-yeon frowned and waved the ballpoint pen around. Even if we don’t know their roles, we can know why the butterfly effect occurred.

    It may be because he has become much stronger and prevented the pandemic so well.

    The assimilation process was much faster than in the original work.

    ‘The god of this world intervened.’

    The god of betting who possesses the body of the devil.

    He is controlling this situation.

    Seeing how much he intervenes, I guess he didn’t want to lose a bet he always won.

    “Otherwise, there are too many things that cannot be explained.”

    Crumbling.

    – People’s perceptions have changed… .

    Lee Ho-yeon continued to worry about the black pillar and the dungeon’s runaway phenomenon.

    As Lim Sol said, it is definitely strange that people are ignorant of the magic of hell.

    This cannot happen unless it is a massive manipulation that literally changes perception.

    “No matter how much you think about it, the only one who can do something like that is God.”

    But, how on earth did you do it? This isn’t a fair bet at all.

    The words the God of Betting said still remain in Lee Ho-yeon’s memory. Was what you said back then a lie?

    ‘… ‘It’s funny that you even bother to appear in front of me and lie.’

    If people’s perception of the magical power of hell has changed, there is something else that bothers me about it.

    Those from hell at the Iris Guild in France.

    Centaur Chiron and Incubus Albedo are also problematic.

    They say they are being nice now, but the magic power they use is the magic power of hell.

    … So why hasn’t there been an investigation into the magical power of hell centered around the Iris Guild?

    “Mr. Ai. It’s so hard, I’m dying.”

    Complicated events fill Lee Ho-yeon’s head.

    But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a clear answer.

    At that time, the red-haired beauty who had just teased passed through Lee Ho-yeon’s mind.

    “Wait a minute. Rebecca is there too.”

    Like Imsol, Rebecca is also someone who has experienced the magic of hell.

    She also said that she has been studying the magic of hell since the sparring ended.

    bang-!

    As soon as the thought occurred to him, Lee Ho-yeon burst out the door and screamed at Rebecca who was sitting at the table.

    “Mr. Rebecca!”

    “Oh! I’m surprised. What’s wrong? I spilled my coffee. Baby daddy.”

    Rebecca, who was holding a coffee cup, was embarrassed when she saw Lee Ho-yeon suddenly running out.

    What’s so urgent?

    “Last time, you told me that you were researching the magical power of hell after losing in a sparring match. Please tell me more about what happened then.”

    Lee Ho-yeon came out of the room and immediately sat down across the table and opened her mouth.

    “Why all of a sudden?

    “No?”

    “It’s not like it can’t be done, but…yeah, I understand.”

    “okay.”

    Rebecca nodded her head unconsciously at Lee Ho-yeon’s momentum.

    I don’t know why, but it seems urgent.

    She thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

    “Hmm. Where should I start? But even if you ask me to explain in detail, I can’t tell you anything. I just started training after losing to my baby’s father. … Are you trying to make me admit defeat directly with my mouth? I have that kind of taste towards my baby’s father. “It’s a little surprising that this existed.”

    “No, no. What do you mean? I just need it for magic research.”

    Seeing Hoyeon Lee shaking her head in embarrassment, Rebecca gently raised the corners of her mouth.

    I am a person whose self-esteem was at the lowest level until yesterday, and I couldn’t figure out why I had changed so much, but for no reason I felt better.

    “I don’t know about magic research, but I feel good because the baby’s father seems to be in a good mood. As a wife, I was sad that I couldn’t take care of my husband mentally. I’m glad.”

    Rebecca gently held Hoyeon Lee’s hand.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s heart beat quickly at the sight of Rebecca naturally holding her hand while saying something embarrassing.

    Her smiling face was so lovely that I wanted to hug her and go to bed right away, but Hoyeon Lee showed patience and held Rebecca’s hand.

    “… Thank you, Rebecca. Then, was there anything that bothered you? Something like, ‘Why didn’t I know about this magical power until now?’”

    “Well… of course it existed. It was similar to the magic power Liliana uses. But I thought it was the baby’s father’s secret weapon.”

    “aha….”

    Hoyeon Lee nodded.

    It seems that Imsol and Rebecca have different attitudes toward magic.

    Professor Lim Sol risked his life on magic with his greatest talent. So, even the slightest discrepancy can be identified immediately.

    Rebecca also works hard, but she doesn’t have the passion to devote herself to magic by not eating or drinking for a week.

    ‘So other people are in this condition too? ‘How twisted is this?’

    If a wizard like Rebecca didn’t notice something strange, it’s safe to say that everyone else didn’t.

    You would have to go to the Iris Guild to find out, but this level of information was also valuable.

    “Thank you, Rebecca. It helped me a lot.”

    “Really? This is nothing special. I’m glad.”

    Even though she didn’t say anything, Rebecca was happy to see her so happy.

    I haven’t had any success lately, but today I succeeded in helping my husband.

    “Then I’ll go again.”

    “Already? Are you just finishing up your business and leaving?”

    “I’m sorry. I have quite a bit of work to do.”

    “Don’t do this alone, let me know. I will help if there is anything I can do.”

    “… I see. Why did you try to do it alone?”

    Since I always hide things from the heroines and handle things alone, it has become a habit to handle these things alone.

    Rebecca can help you.

    “Actually, I’m researching the magic of hell. Do you know the magic of hell that comes out of the black pillar? Even though it’s similar to the magic of hell that I unleash, no one feels suspicious.”

    “The magic power coming from the black pillar… I see. I think Scarlett said that.”

    “Scarlett noticed it too. Anyway, it’s clear that the Black Pillar is an operation by Lucifer or Pandemic, but no one is reacting. I’m going to take the lead and take action.”

    “Baby dad. Today, you seem like an apostle of justice and peace in the world.”

    “You may not know this, but I’ve always been on the move for the world.”

    “Yes, yes. You’re amazing, my baby’s dad.”

    It doesn’t seem like he believes me, seeing as he smiles sweetly and pats my head.

    it’s a shame.

    “First, I plan to contact the Iris Guild. Then, I will contact the American Association of Wizards.”

    “… What. Why is it so big? Is it really the guardian of the world? Why is the baby’s father doing such a thing?”

    “There’s nothing like that. Only those who can do it can do it. Then, Rebecca, would you like to go to the Iris Guild with me?”

    “I want to help, but… I don’t like the guild leader there.”

    “… That’s right. You laughed at that old man, Rebecca, right?”

    “Baby daddy. I’m scared. Don’t be angry.”

    Write it. Hoyeon Lee relaxed her expression and controlled her emotions.

    If it weren’t for Ellis’ parents, there would have been a fight.

    ‘is not it? ‘You know my relationship with Ellis, so there’s no need to scratch it.’

    Let’s skip this one in particular.

    All you have to do is avoid meeting Rebecca in the future.

    “Anyway, Rebecca, please help Professor Imsol. He is in contact with the Wizards Association.”

    “Yes. I guess so. I’ll contact you.”

    “Good. Very good.”

    After grinning and rubbing Rebecca’s shoulder, Hoyeon Lee headed back to the room.

    After talking with Rebecca for a bit, my mind felt refreshed.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who picked up the pen again, looked at the notebook and thought about it.

    “When should I go to the Iris Guild? I want to go as quickly as possible.”

    Crumbling.

    – Chiron, Albedo…

    “I’m sure Ellis said they were people who used strange magical powers.”

    This is what Ellis said in passing.

    Like Rebecca, she probably didn’t feel anything strange.

    “Tsk. Let’s go and think about this. I have to stop by the Iris Guild anyway.”

    Now that I think about it, why haven’t I heard from Ellis and Irene yet?

    I checked my smartwatch again just in case, but there was only a message from Ho-yeon Lee that had been posted for a while, and there was no response from either of them.

    “… What if sisters end up diving together?”

    You could say that it would be okay to raid the house since it was right next door, but since I didn’t know their condition, it was burdensome to contact them first.

    “I guess I should at least send a message again.”

    Ho-yeon Lee, who sent a message to Ellis and Irene, licked his lips and touched the smartwatch, which did not respond.
