Chapter 185 – Change of Heart #2

-Jihyeok! I’m going to the lab right now…

The doctor’s urgent voice is heard over the phone.
I spoke quietly so Adele couldn’t hear.

“It’s okay. I am resting.”

-Ha, but… There are two monsters…!

“I already sent Sehwa and Yuria. I’ll have Sylvia and Adele on standby as well. If you’re wrong, you can send support through the lab portal, so calm down. There is absolutely no need to make a fuss like this.”

At that, the doctor was relieved.

-Then I’m glad…

“Where are you now?”

– Yoga academy… I’m sorry.

“Are you sorry? Don’t worry and take care of yourself.”

-Yes… I’m begging you…

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Adele in the corner, who was giving Sylvia the address of the lab.

“Hey, here… The address… Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul… Eunpyeong-gu, where was it…”

Adele stutters and is confused.
I approached her and held out her hand.
Then Adele suddenly hands over her phone.

“Hello, Mr. Sylvia?”

-Yes, tell me.

“Eunpyeong-gu by flying taxi…… “

I gave Sylvia her address in a distinct voice.
After hearing her answer that she would go right away, I pressed her end button and returned her cell phone to Adele.
Afterwards, I spoke to Adele, who was sitting on the board and was restless not knowing what to do.

“Sit next to me. Stay calm.”

“Ah yes…!”

Her body stiffened as she approached and sat down.
Immobility itself. I was trying hard not to blink.
I let out a weak laugh and patted Adele on the back.

“The two monsters that appeared are top B-class. Sehwa and Yuria-ssi, I think it’s not too much to defeat the two of them.”

“That, is it…? Where are you two?”

“I arrived in Israel via a portal linked to my device. By the way, Adele, I heard that you handled the monsters in the Grand Canyon calmly and well… Why are you nervous?”

“Ah, that’s right… Whoa…”

It was her putting her hand on her chest and letting out her long exhaled breath.
Shaking my head, I manipulated the keyboard to illuminate the two portals that Monitor #1 was about to open on the Tel Aviv coastline, and where Monitor #2 Saehwa and Yuria were expected to arrive.
The monstrous monster’s mouth is about to open at any time, and at the same time, the second camera flashes! There was a flash, and Saehwa and Yuria, transformed into beast slayers, arrived.

“Wow…!”

Adele’s eyes were full of admiration as she watched them with admiration.
Well, that look is not cool.

Not long after, the mouth of the monster portal exploded! As it opened, a red-skinned demon-like monster appeared from inside, holding an ax and a spear.
Adele had been frowning since the portal opened, and when they appeared, she pretended to vomit as if she had watched a brutal slasher movie.

“Ugh… That’s disgusting!”

The impression of the monster that appeared properly for the first time is disgusting… You are also quite decent.
It looks like the tension is all over, so let’s score some points here.
I changed the communicator to ring throughout the lab and gave orders to Saehwa and Yuria.

“Fortunately, we arrived before the demons started to attack. Deal with it quickly, but our top priority is to keep people safe.”

-Yes.
-I know.

Answer at the same time.
I noticed Adele glancing at my face.
She seems to be smiling, although I can’t see her very well because she keeps her eyes on the monitor.
You must have confirmed your desire to look at humans first and scored points. As expected.
I quickly scanned the monster’s entire body and ordered it again.

“As a humanoid monster, its weak point is its neck. Start.”

After answering that they knew, they watched the monsters swishing their weapons.
And,

Wow-!

Starting with Saehwa kicking the air and kicking in, YuRia let go of the protests.

**

The monsters blocked Sehwa’s sword attacks several times, but were hit by Yuria’s arrows and slowed down.
After fighting for some time, the situation ended.
The two monsters were blown off by Sehwa’s sword and reconciled to dust and disappeared.
Maybe it’s because it was a game that was made and played in the first place, but it ended quickly.

After Saehwa and Yuria finished their report and went back, I left the World Federation with behind-the-scenes work in the name of Jennifer Cash.
No harm to humans. Since there was no damage to the building, the World Federation would have taken care of it quickly.
However, Argentina’s protest will be accepted.
Why didn’t we help quickly like Israel?

If the news reaches the doctor’s ears, the humans will be disappointed.
It also coincided with the meaning that the doctor’s betrayal would be quicker.
Everything is in order There were no awkward parts at all.
However, since two B-class high-ranking monsters, which can be said to be high-ranking, were just eliminated, the demons’ sadness would explode.

Even so, I don’t have any intention of betraying me, but as a benevolent demon king, I should at least give a reward to those who were friendly with the dead monsters.
After thinking, I put my head on the board and let out a long sigh.

“Ha…”

Then Adele asked in a worried tone.

“Why are you like that?”

“I always get very nervous when monsters appear. I feel a little relieved now.”

“Didn’t Jihyeok look nervous at all?”

“I’m in charge of leading the two together with the doctor, and I also have to prevent situations where innocent people get hurt or die… I try to be as calm as possible until the situation is over.”

Adele pulled a chair and pulled it closer to me.
Then he patted me on the back like an owner praising a pet.
I tried to hold back the smile that spilled out of me, who was both delighted and funny at her actions.
Whether she knows my feelings or not, she comforts me with a serious tone.

“This is the first time I’ve been in this situation, and I can see that Mr. Ji-hyeok did really well. In the future, I and Silvia unnie will also fight on the front line like Sehwa and YuRia unnie, so I hope he leads well.”

“I will work hard. Thank you.”

“Are you tired? I will pray for strength.”

Don’t do it! Please!
I’m not struggling at all!

“Lord Almighty…… “

You’re doing it. Let’s think differently.
I was trying to ignore Adele’s chattering prayers, emitting golden energy from my body, when my cell phone rang.
When I checked her caller, it was Sylvia. A level without a rescue pitcher.
I lifted one of her hands to restrain Adele and answered the phone right away.

“Yes, Mr. Sylvia.”

– I came to the place you said. What now?

“Wait. I’ll be leaving soon.”

-Are you leaving? Demons are still in Israel…

“The situation is over. The monster was destroyed by Sehwa and Yuria.”

-Ha… I’m glad. No civilian casualties?

As expected, you also have a sense of justice, probably because you are a fit for Aether.

“There is not. Please wait for me as I will pick you up soon.”

-Yes.

**

Sylvia, who saw the laboratory, was impressed similarly to Adele.
But she didn’t make a fuss about her like Adele.
Adele just followed the excited Adele with surprised eyes and was introduced to the laboratory.

“This is the doctor’s resting room! You can’t just go in!”

Still, it is said that she is a senior who saw the lab a few days earlier, and she smiles when she sees Adele telling Sylvia the precautions with a serious expression.
I watched the two of them in silence, and when Adele finished introducing the lab, she approached Sylvia.

“How about it? It may not reach Sylvia-san’s planet, but the facilities are okay, right?”

“It is beyond imagination. She’s been told about it by Adele, but seeing it in person is even more surprising. Even on our developed planet, we haven’t seen machines like this. In particular, medical devices that can treat them are so amazing.”

I think I was genuinely impressed. If Sylvia, who doesn’t show too much emotion, is like that.
I felt quite proud.
It’s not that I’m proud that the lab was looked upon favorably, I’m proud that the doctor who created the lab and that doctor are now mine.

“The doctor made it all.”

“You’re a great person… I heard that weapons like consumables are made through joint research with you?”

“Yes. But now that Sehwa and YuRia’s strength is stronger, we don’t need a lot of consumables. That’s why I just focus on making devices, or I just look at the situation board and check the world situation.”

“It’s great though… Aren’t you putting yourself down too low?”

“Thank you for saying that. First of all, I’ll register Sylvia’s biometric information in the lab. Please follow me.”

“Yes.”

Sylvia calmly completed the scan and entry/exit check.
Seeing Sylvia like that, Adele was intimidated, but in the same situation, he seemed to be comparing Sylvia’s resolute appearance with the one he whined that he was scared.

“Thank you for your effort. It’s done.”

After saying that while manipulating the panel, Sylvia came up to me and she patted me on the back.

“Good work, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Did you say the situation was over? Are you disbanded now?”

“No. This is the first time two monsters have appeared, so I’m going to wait in the lab for a day or so and watch the progress.”

Sylvia, who was listening to her story, asked with a serious expression.

“Do you think it will show up again?”

“To be honest, I think it’s rare. As the B-class high-ranking monsters disappeared in an instant, Tyrat wouldn’t be reckless. But if it shows up even once in a while, it’s a big deal… It’s right to watch.”

“That’s right. Then what shall we do? Wait here?”

“There is no need for that. Wait…”

I went into the storage room and came out with two disposable portals.
And gave one each to Sylvia and Adele.

“It’s a one-time portal I made shortly after I came to the lab. If you press the button in the center and throw it on the floor, the light will come up. It is connected to the laboratory warehouse, so if you contact me, please come right away.”

Sylvia, who was carefully examining the portal, admired it.

“Is it elaborately well made…? You made this?”

“Yes. However, as much as it is not polished, there are side effects.”

“What are the side effects?”

“Dizziness. Inside Twisted Space is so… Terrifying. However, it is safe to say that there are no people like Sylvia or Adele who can handle Aether.”

“I see… Can you give me more of this?”

“No. It is not possible because the quantity is limited. Sooner or later, I will remove the portal from YuRia’s house and install it in Uijeongbu.”

It means to prepare to roll four people in earnest.
Sylvia nodded her head brightly.

“Okay. Then can we go back now?”

“Yes. The doctor and I will take turns watching this, so go back and rest.”

“Aren’t you suffering too much?”

“It is my job and the doctor’s job to take full responsibility so that you can live your daily life. Don’t worry, I’ve already adapted as I should.”

“Okay. Then I’ll go back.”

After Sylvia gave me a thank you glance, she approached Adele, who was about two steps away.

“I’m going to exercise from now on, what do you want to do?”

“I… I’m going to study the Bible with Mr. Jihyeok.”

My doctor doesn’t even ask. I’ve gotten used to it now.

“Okay. Then take a taxi.”

“Yes, sister.”

Sylvia waved her hand at me chicly and left her lab.
She waved her hand at Sylvia until the door closed, then Adele came up to me and she said.

“Mr. Jihyeok.”

“Why don’t you go to rest…”

“Ji-hyeok must be bored, and I want to study with Ji-hyeok. But before that… I have a question.”

“Please speak.”

Adele carefully put the disposable portal I gave her into her backpack.
Then he looks up at me and asks.

“Why didn’t you give me this when I first came to the lab?”

Adele’s eyes and tone were full of regret.
Absolutely not to make her jealous of Sylvia. That’s just to make sure she doesn’t hate me for her own childish personality.
Even though she gave her advice to speak out, she approached it like this … Adele is very timid at times like this.
I need to calm down before I get mad.

“It wasn’t a big deal back then. But today is different. I didn’t know when Tyrart would come with an army, so I thought I’d give it to prepare.”

“Am I not trustworthy?”

“Not at all. You are misunderstanding.”

“Really?”

“Sure. Why can’t I hate Adele? Shall I be honest? It’s not right to make such a difference, but… I believe in Adele more than Mr. Sylvia.”

Adele’s face brightened.
She asks in a soft tone.

“I appreciate her words, but Sylvia must believe as much as I do. Leave it at the same level. Did you know?”

“I think it will be difficult… I will try.”

“I’ll be there to help too! Now stop chatting and move to the break room! The monster interrupted my studies, so I won’t be home until late today!”

Adele, who finished her words energetically, headed for the break room without listening to my answer.
I burst into a weak laugh, opened the mini-refrigerator, grabbed two water bottles, and opened the door to the break room.
Adele’s liking for me is steadily rising.
Likeability as a member of the opposite sex, favorability as a colleague.
