“Haaa.”

Irene entered the Team 1 leader’s office, sighing with a feeling of being grounded.

She sat down in her chair, glanced at the documents on her desk, and remembered the conversation she had just had.

“If anyone sees him, they’ll think he’s the head of the Iris guild.”

It was always like this when I was involved with Hoyeon Lee.

Is that man really just an academy cadet?

It was strange from the first time I saw it.

From the day Ellis brought in a classmate as a masseuse who was said to be able to cure congenital magical disorders.

Hoyeon Lee always seemed to be in over her head.

He knew that he liked Ellis, and he knew what Ellis liked as well as he did.

An academy cadet with no background cured Elise’s congenital magical power disorder that no one had been able to cure, and since then, she has been on the rise and has now earned the title of the world’s best wizard.

Moreover, his combat power is at a level that makes no sense for an academy cadet.

When I thought about the battle with Lucifer, Irene was no match for it and it seemed like her father would have to step up to be her opponent.

Still, since she knows information about the pandemic that she herself doesn’t know, there is nothing that Irene, the top executive of the Information Guild, feels is as unreasonable as this.

‘I’m strangely good at sex… ‘Uhm.’

Irene erased the lewd thoughts that filled her head.

That wasn’t what mattered now.

When I saw an academy cadet casually revealing information he didn’t know, I couldn’t help but be suspicious of Lee Ho-yeon’s information network.

“Where on earth do you get all that information? Are genius wizards good at everything?”

After meeting Lee Ho-yeon, I thought about it several times and actually did a lot of research, but I couldn’t get any information.

He was an orphan with no background.

“Probably not Scarlett. She has some good abilities, but… Then Imsol? No. Isn’t she also illiterate when it comes to information?”

Im Sol, a genius wizard, is slightly hesitant after Ho-yeon Lee appears.

True to her title as a ‘genius wizard’, she is not interested in anything except magic.

Effort and talent that allow that level of achievement to be taken for granted.

But Hoyeon Lee wasn’t like that.

“If you’re a wizard, you should stay in the lab like Im Sol and be crazy about magic. Why are you wandering around like that?”

Tsk.

Irene, who was tilting her head in frustration, soon operated the smart watch.

A request was sent to the guild members to send them the results of the investigation into the black pillar and the dungeon’s runaway phenomenon.

“Hell’s magic…? I told you about that strange thing too.”

It’s not that I don’t believe in Lee Ho-yeon’s abilities, but I can’t decide everything just by listening to what he says.

We need to take another look at the Iris Guild’s investigation details.

“If you know this guy, isn’t he a spy for the pandemic? How do you know what’s going on inside?”

Pandemic, an anti-human terrorist group targeting the whole world.

They carry out terrorism indiscriminately without religious or political reasons.

You can’t negotiate because you don’t want what they want, and you can’t prepare because you don’t know their purpose.

Irene thought seriously, but there is no possibility that Ho-yeon Lee belongs to Pandemic, which is made up of demons.

In the first place, it is impossible to count on one hand the number of pandemic terrorist attacks that Lee Ho-yeon ruined.

… Moreover, if Lee Ho-yeon is a spy for Pandemic, she feels so shabby for showing herself naked to him over and over again.

This means that records of himself and Ellis remain in Pandemic’s database.

“Hmm. If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to bite my tongue.”

If that shameful sight were to fall to the pandemic, it would be better to die.

The sight of him being harassed by Lee Ho-yeon and screaming like an animal… Because I feel embarrassed even when I see it.

“Why do I keep thinking like this? Sigh… Is it because I can’t resolve it?”

Irene frowned without realizing it.

I heard that when your sexual desire builds up, you have to deal with it through exercise or work, but that was all bullshit.

Even though he works and trains at the same time, he cannot control his sexual desires.

Since I indulge in masturbation every night, I guess this is what I think about on a regular basis.

Should I exercise a little more restraint in the future?

Jiying-

At that time, the data Irene requested was displayed on the hologram monitor.

Data investigating the black pillar and dungeon runaway phenomenon.

And even Iris Guild’s internal data on the pandemic.

“The investigation into the black pillar has been completed. The pandemic is still unknown….”

Pandemic Mines’ loyalty was renowned in the industry.

Most of them ended their lives before they were tortured, and even if they managed to capture them alive, they never opened their mouths, so it was very difficult to determine their identities.

“If the black pillar is related to the pandemic, it is definitely dangerous.”

It is virtually an established fact that Lucifer, who attacked the Academy, was responsible for the pandemic.

The only place where such terrorism can be carried out without any reason is a pandemic.

“Lucifer’s magic power… If we find a connection between that strange magic power and the black pillar, there is ample reason to reinvestigate it.”

The black pillars that have appeared around the world are a means of pandemic terrorism.

If true, it would be a huge event, and the danger goes without saying.

smart.

– Mr. Irene. I’ll go in.

“Yes. Come in.”

Irene pushed the air and removed the hologram monitor.

I still have a lot of questions, but let’s listen and think first.

If Hoyeon Lee isn’t making fun of herself, this could be a good thing for the Iris Guild.

“Sorry I’m late. I have something to organize. What were you doing?”

“I was checking some of the data you mentioned.”

“aha.”

Hoyeon Lee naturally sat down on the chair.

Fortunately, Irene believed what he said right away, so things were resolved easily.

“What about Scarlett?”

“Well? I guess he was saying hello to the guild members. He was popular within the guild.”

“… unexpected.”

I didn’t think he had that kind of personality.

But since I actually saw it, I can’t believe it.

“Now that it’s time for the guild members to return, it’ll be even busier.”

“I guess the investigation into Lucifer is over?”

“It’s not like that, but I have to do other things. That’s right. Now that I think about it, you said you also have information about Lucifer, right? If you fought in person, would you know anything more?”

The image of Lee Ho-yeon confronting Lucifer still remains clear to Irene.

He is said to be a genius wizard, so he must have experienced something while fighting Lucifer himself.

“It’s similar. First of all, what information do you need most?”

“The most important thing is whether Pandemic has the ability to set up such a large-scale magic circle. If so, the whole world will have to prepare for terrorism. Even though the world’s magicians are there, they are unable to interpret the magic circle.”

“Is it that much?”

“Yes. So the Iris Guild is also rushing into the investigation of Lucifer.”

Of course, this is also because the academy professors, led by Professor Lim Sol, are taking a break.

Originally, magic was a field led by one or two geniuses.

“First of all, it’s about the magic circle. Ordinary wizards probably wouldn’t know even if they researched it for the rest of their lives.”

“Do you think you know anything?”

“Yes. I made that magic circle.”

“…?”

Irene blinked for a moment, then opened her eyes wide and stood up.

“Are you really from Pandemic?”

“Huh? No, that’s not it. Lucifer stole the magic circle I made.”

He swallowed his saliva as red eyes looked at him.

My heart is pounding, but since I’ve come this far, I have no choice but to say it.

Hoyeon Lee continued speaking nervously.

*

Irene felt dizzy after hearing Lee Ho-yeon’s words.

I couldn’t come to my senses from the strange information that suddenly came to me.

“… I don’t understand. Lee Ho-yeon. Why did you do that? I didn’t think you were that stupid.”

“I thought this was the only way to end my relationship with a woman… I guess I lost my mind for a moment. I don’t really understand myself at that time.”

“Do other women know this too?”

“I told everyone except Ellis and Irene. If I had been contacted by Irene, I would have told them first. I thought I should take responsibility for what I did.”

“Hmm….”

Irene crossed her legs and thought about what Hoyeon Lee said.

I was looking forward to hearing what kind of information it would be, but it turned out to be such a bomb.

‘He created that magic circle himself…’ .’

It’s not wrong to say he’s a genius wizard.

It was Lee Ho-yeon who created the magic circle that wizards from all over the world could not figure out.

That means that if Lee Ho-yeon has a bad mind, he can put the whole world in fear.

‘The initiative was taken away at the moment when the magic circle was about to be dismantled… It must be true.’

If Hoyeon Lee hadn’t told her, Irene wouldn’t have known that the magic circle was Hoyeon Lee’s.

No, not only you but no one else could have known.

There is no reason to reveal the truth by lying like that.

“Lee Ho-yeon, if what you say is right, it looks like there’s nothing more to do in investigating Lucifer.”

The source of Lucifer’s power was a magic circle, and Pandemic had no ability to install a magic circle.

The connection between the pandemic and Lucifer can be clearly revealed by examining the black pillar.

There is no need to continue investigating Lucifer any longer.

“I will cooperate with you in anything you need.”

“Ha… That’s a mess. It’s an unexpected result.”

Irene lifted the wine glass on the table with a sad heart.

Chateau d’Yquem is Ellis’ favorite. When I smelled that sweet scent, I felt a little lighter.

Of course I knew about Lee Ho-yeon’s complicated relationship with women, but I couldn’t understand the idea of kidnapping the entire academy to solve it.

Moreover, while making such a plan, they tried to ensure that there were no victims.

If you’re going to do something bad, you’re definitely going to do it bad. Why are you taking such an ambiguous stance?

Have I really lost my mind? Or is there still something to hide?

‘Maybe he himself doesn’t know the problem.’

Irene put down her wine glass.

Surprisingly, there was no disappointment.

From the beginning, I said he wasn’t a bad guy, but I didn’t think he was a good guy.

Still, you have to consider the fact that he didn’t just discover this fact, but he told it to you directly.

“Well, yeah. I knew you were a weird guy anyway. You’ve been that way from the beginning.”

“… yes.”

“I’m angry that they tried to put Ellis and me in danger, but… I won’t hold them responsible. There were no actual victims. They said they tried to dismantle them in the end.”

“You can curse more. I think I did something wrong.”

“What if I tell you to stay out of my sight from now on?”

“I should get down on my knees and pray. Well, I don’t know what Irene will think, but I value Irene just as much as Ellis.”

“… what the.”

Why are you suddenly acting so cool?

Irene changed the subject before her pale cheeks turned red.

“I will first send a message to Ellis and the guild leader asking them to return. You can also stay at the Iris guild and help with the investigation.”

“Yes. Ah, but I left the country in a hurry, so I will go to Korea and return soon. Are you providing accommodation?”

“Yes. We will provide accommodations….”

at that time. Scarlett, who was closely attached to Lee Ho-yeon’s entourage, flashed through Irene’s mind.

If you provide accommodation, wouldn’t those two naturally stay together?

‘Miss Irene.’ Her face as she spoke comes to mind again.

“What’s wrong, Irene?”

“Wait… just wait a moment.”

Irene recalled the one-week stay with Lee Ho-yeon that Ellis had obtained.

In fact, Ellis’ house is the same as sharing it with Irene.

And if Lee Ho-yeon stays at Ellis’ house, it is certain that he will have a relationship with Irene.

‘… Then, can’t I consider the 3.5 days as mine?’

Irene thought for a moment and shook her head.

What am I thinking right now? Anyway, that’s not it.

Irene also has a conscience.

It is not my duty as a sister to take away the one-week camp that my younger brother earned.

Could it be that I was unable to make the right decision because of my sexual desire?

Even if I go back home anyway, staying with Scarlett is the same. Let’s erase our unnecessary greed for a moment.

“I don’t know when Ellis will return. At the longest, it will be in two days, but at the shortest, she could come today, so it would be better to come as soon as possible.”

“Okay. Oh, before that, would you like me to give you Lucifer’s body as well?”

“Yes. I think it’s worth investigating.”

When I finish the story, I guess I’ll have to go find Scarlett.

Hoyeon Lee calmed his pounding heart and continued the conversation with Irene.
