Chapter 225 – The Three Caves of Kyoto

I shouted while sheltering from the rain on the stone eaves protruding pointedly at the entrance of the cave.

“Miss Sylvia! When will it be done!?”

“Oh noisy! Stop talking!”

“It’s already been 30 minutes!”

“Five more minutes!”

Hearing Sylvia’s exasperated cry, I kicked a stone to show her displeasure.
What kind of guy is taking a shower for over 30 minutes.
I would understand if it was at home, but I can’t do it quickly when I’m outside…
As I was cleaning the rainwater from her rocking chair, Sylvia came out with a towel, wiping her face refreshingly.

“How much water do you have left?”

“Headache.”

Hearing the answer, I stretched out both hands as if it were absurd.

“…. Headache? She brought seven cans, but you’re saying she’s used five now?”

“Stop whining and wash yourself.”

“I’m going crazy, really… I just want to brush my teeth.”

“If you’re not going to take a shower, why are you grumbling and fussing?”

Do you mean that?

“Don’t you think that Sylvia can’t because she has run out of her water?”

“Isn’t two cans enough?”

“Then Sylvia-san should have taken a shower with only two tubs.”

“I have long hair.”

“Ah… That’s done.”

Sylvia giggled as she grabbed the back of her neck like a person with high blood pressure.
But didn’t you go to sleep stiffly because you were nervous yesterday?
Seeing how he treats me comfortably now, I find it absurd and funny.
Of course, there is no tendency to do this on purpose to hide awkwardness.

After meticulously brushing my teeth, Sylvia sat down beside her as she sat in her rocking chair and admired the scenery.
Seeing that day, Sylvia apologized.

“Sorry.”

“What?”

“I used five bottles in the shower. I should have saved it, but it’s my fault.”

“Speaking like that makes me feel like a petty person. All right.”

“That’s right, that’s what I meant. Do you understand correctly? You are smart too.”

I laughed and muttered.

“I’m exhausted… I’m just…”

“Just what? Are you going to attack me like yesterday?”

Sylvia’s face was very red when she said that.
Okay! That’s how you have to be brave!
Laughing, I pushed her face closer to her.

“You’re attacking… Show me what you’re really attacking?”

“No, I’m kidding… Let’s go back now.”

“What are you going back to? It’s tasteful, but let’s go after looking at the scenery from the entrance.”

“…. I like it.”

I like you too
That’s how we looked at the fine misty rain and enjoyed the panoramic view of the peaceful Grand Canyon.

“Jihyuk.”

Sylvia’s call, which had been silent for a while.
I answered.

“Yes.”

“Do you come here often?”

“Not often, but whenever I want to come, I will ask Mr. Sylvia.”

“OK got it.”

Sylvia was intentionally not talking about Adele.
If she had a conversation about Adele, she would say something like ‘let’s stop’ or ‘we shouldn’t be like this’, overcome by her guilt.
And she knew very well what she was doing.
That’s why I refrain from commenting as much as possible. To maintain or develop this ambiguous relationship with me.

From today, Sylvia will be at odds with Adele.
Because? Because the person I am has a big place in her heart.
It took me a little while to hear Adele’s voice last night, innocent and innocent, but Sylvia, who has already taken a liking to me, won’t want to miss this opportunity.

If there is anything to worry about, Sylvia, who couldn’t overcome the remorse in her conscience, confessed everything about her, and she said that she would never do it again, and she stabbed her with a dog…
What I feared would not happen.
To prevent that, she went through all her hardships to build up her liking, and let her know her taste in men.

“It’s raining, but unlike yesterday, it’s not that cold. Is it because it’s morning?”

“I guess so… Huh? Jihyeok! Look over there, it’s a deer.”

Sylvia, patting her on the shoulder and making a fuss about her, looked where she pointed and saw that she was indeed walking leisurely with her herd of deer.
I said, watching them closely.

“It’s a mule deer. Is that grouping too?”

“Because they are weak, they will form a group. It’s instinct.”

“That’s right. But I knew it was hard to see because there were few of them… The tentacles and moths seem to have appeared because they took care of all the predators.”

“Did the monster unintentionally help the ecosystem?”

“Perhaps.”

“There is a Korean proverb that says that even dog poop is used for medicine. Is it just like that?”

It’s dog poop Did you treat me poorly?
They called it pure evil yesterday, but it keeps bothering me.

**

After parting ways with Sylvia after returning to Korea, I met Bo-Young Chae after a long time in the office of the president of a restaurant franchise.
It was to ask how the last beast slayer, Stella Haley, was doing, and to make the place she had planned the other day.
However, I heard an unexpected story there.

“Stella’s brother has an accident?”

“Yeah… I keep calling Stella from school. The homeroom teacher made several home visits, but nothing was fixed.”

“What kind of accident are you having?”

“School violence, smoking, etc. The other day, he even got cannabis from somewhere and did it with his friends…”

“Looks like you hang out with the kids who don’t like water. By the way, isn’t the school where Stella’s younger brother went into a pretty good place? The school district is also very good.”

Why would parents want to send their children to good school districts?
It’s because I don’t have these problems.
It cannot be said that schools with good districts do not have delinquent students, but they were very small.
There are fewer accidents than other places, and there are many cases where you change your mind by meeting classmates or teachers who are passionate about learning.

Parents of students are well-to-do people, and there are many people who sit in important positions, so the parents’ association has a lot of influence.
When an incident like school violence happens, I tend to take off my feet. Word of mouth spreads quickly.
The school, who can’t help but notice them, will think that Stella’s younger brother, who has no back stomach, is a thorn in the eye.
Since he even touched drugs, he would have expulsion or transfer in one fell swoop… It was strange.

“Ah, well… I do. He is also suspended from school.”

“Just a suspension?”

“Yes…”

“Did the CEO of ABC Entertainment even lobby? It’s not… It’s not a school where the lobby of the CEO of a new agency can work.”

Boyoung didn’t know what to do now.
There is even worry on his face.
Looking at it, a picture came out roughly.

“You are out.”

“No, that’s right…”

Boyoung is the biggest star in Korea.
She is a famous celebrity in the world, and since she is the younger sister of her trainee, whom she cherishes, the situation seems to work.
I clicked her tongue and said.

“If you get caught, your image will be greatly diminished… Did you take it?”

“So, CEO Song thinks Stella is important… I’m sorry… I’m trying to make it as convenient as possible…”

“Nope. Well done.”

“But Stella’s younger brother was a good student in America, and thanks to that he was able to get into a good school in the school district… I don’t understand why his personality changed.”

His handsome face and moderately large stature probably played a part.
A comfortable environment must have also played an important role.
Unlike her life in the United States, where she struggled, in Korea, her older sister has a great talent for singing, and her new agency rescues her house and supports her at the risk of life and death.

Even a superstar named Chae Bo-young gave her private lessons… Because of this, she won’t worry about her future at all.
She would want to show off, and she would have wanted to be compensated for her hard life in the past.
In such a state, the people around me woojjujju, it seems that I fell for the temptation and became crooked.

I sipped my coffee and smiled.

“How is Stella’s reaction?”

“I am disturbed. She tries to soothe her younger brother and harshly scolds her, but in front of her, she says that she knows because of her good attitude…”

“But if she continues to have accidents, can we assume that she is just pretending to reflect?”

“I don’t even know…”

“He and her brother are nineteen now, right? Is she a senior in high school then?”

“I am in the second year. It has been on my knees for a year.”

“Who knows what you ejaculated?”

“One principal. But I’m sure some of the parents who work closely with the principal know… I’m so sorry…”

Boyoung had nothing to apologize for.
Because she did it for me.
How can you criticize her when she is willing to endure the loss of her own image?
It was an error to say that the target was Stella’s younger sister, but being willing was willing.
I said, shaking her head.

“I will fix it. There will be no damage to your image.”

“Yes…? How…?”

“The dead don’t talk.”

Boyoung, her complexion very bright, stood up from her seat, and she bowed her head to me.

“Go, thank you…”

A demon king who gives for the welfare of his subordinates… Where else is the demon king so kind?
So do better, bitch. If your face was just a little out of my taste, you’d be tortured by now.

“I’m going to ask Marcella to take care of it, so let’s skip this story. How are Stella’s skills?”

“It is climbing steeply. To be honest, she is capable enough to debut now. My ex-manager wants to debut right away, but… I’m blocking it.”

“Why?”

“I’m going to leave WW Entertainment and enter ABC Entertainment soon, and I’m going to hold several concerts afterwards to briefly introduce Stella to the audience. It has an old school feel to it, but I think doing it now would be very fresh. It fits with Stella’s image…”

It is correct to follow Boyoung’s opinion.
The entertainment industry knows Boyoung much better than me or Marcella.

“Okay. Do as you please.”

“Thank you. Shall we bring Stella here tomorrow?”

Originally, she was trying to get used to her face.
However, after hearing about the accident Stella’s brother had, his thoughts changed.

“No. Don’t… Have you ever told Stella about me?”

“She didn’t name her name, only that she had a strong supporter…”

“Well done. From now on, refrain from talking about me to Stella. She can go back and live her normal life.”

“Yes, sir.”

Bowing her head once more, Boyoung turned her body around.
As she fluttered her flared dress and left her office, I put my feet up on her desk and thought about it.

The soon-to-be principal, who knows about Stella’s troublemaker younger brother and Bo-young’s lobby… And Stella, who is distraught.
I thought of a very good plan. A very good idea, to use her brother as a chess piece.

But now was not the time.
There was a deviation from the doctor, and the work to break down the relationship between Adele and Sylvia was in full swing.
He had already learned that his head would hurt if he worked a lot while attacking Yuria.
For now, let’s focus on taking care of these two things first.
