Chapter 416 – Final Puzzle #2

“Have you packed everything? Yes…? Why computer? Ah… Yes, you can pack me on the day you move in, that’s it. I’m going to see the house It’s a bit late, so stay home. If you’re hungry, there’s something prepared, so eat it, or order it.”

After talking on the phone with Alex, Stella carefully put the phone back in.
Then he looked back at me as I was driving with a worried face.

“I heard that you were always at home, but is it true?”

“Well. What do you think?”

“I have to believe it, but I keep having doubts. You’ve bought something up until now.”

Of course it should.
That’s a normal reaction
I asked, tapping the steering wheel with my finger.

“I am worried. Would you like to install a location tracking app on Alex’s phone?”

“Something like a couple location tracking app?”

“Right.”

“Can you install it undetected?”

“Yes.”

“Okay…?”

When I looked at Stella through the room mirror, I was really excited.
However, he shook his head as if he had done something evil.

“No… That’s fine.”

“Alex didn’t even know the app was installed?”

“It’s not Alex’s problem, it’s my problem. If you do that, you’re really monitoring it. It’s true that Alex has done something serious… But I don’t want to strangle her brother by going so far. By the way…”

Stella slurred and licked her lips.
The twinkle in her eyes seemed to be plotting something.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m a little curious, but… Can’t I install it on my brother’s phone and experiment with it?”

I thought it would be like that too.
I flatly rejected Stella’s offer.

“No.”

“Oh why…!”

“You don’t like spying on your brother, do you like spying on me? Did I do anything wrong?”

“No…! I just want to know how it works… I have no other intentions…”

Even just looking at it reveals his sinister intentions, but he has no other intentions.
My tongue clenched, and I changed the subject.

“Is the house next door to me?”

“Ah, yes…”

Stella’s face turned red.
The word next door sounds odd to me.
Laughing, I stretched out my index finger on the hand holding the steering wheel and pointed forward.

“Arrived. Look.”

Stella looked at the officetel I pointed at and opened her mouth slightly.

“Wow… Big…”

“The top floor is on the 25th floor, but everyone including Sehwa lives on the same floor. The doctor lives in a separate house, but he often visits and sleeps at Sehwa’s house.”

“Really…? Are you here today?”

“Maybe.”

After entering the parking lot having a chat, I parked my car anywhere on the empty line.
Then Stella asks, unfastening her seatbelt.

“The parking lot is empty. You don’t move in a lot, do you? Is it because it is expensive?”

“No. This is a dedicated parking lot that only people at headquarters can park.”

“Yes…?”

Stella opened her mouth slightly.
It’s funny to see you already surprised.
Originally, these are things that can be used for common use, but we did our best for you.
You just have to repay those who have disappeared by living comfortably.
I smirked and got out of the car and headed for the front door with Stella.

@@

Just like the parking lot, and this elevator right now…
I never dreamed that there were things in the building that only people at headquarters could use.
It would not have been a collaboration with a separate construction company, but it was a surprise.

In addition to this, there are overwhelming amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, and spacious park…
It was not an officetel, but just like a high-end apartment.
Although the facilities in the house I was living in were good, it was never up to this jaw-dropping level.
When Alex comes to this place, he will ask how he moved in, but I think it will be difficult to explain.

Stella wondered if she could live in a place like this,

Ding-!

[The 25th floor.]

I suddenly woke up to the clear machine sound that did not hear a single noise.
When she stepped out of the door that opened gently, she let out an exclamation at the sight of a very long hallway at both ends.

“Wow…”

How many doors there are… I can’t even count them.
To say that this entire floor is only used by people from the headquarters… It seems that the headquarters is overflowing with rotten money.
Stella suddenly wondered how the headquarters circulates funds, but tilted her head when she saw something strange at the wide open front door in the middle hallway.

‘What is that…? Tail…?’

A few luxuriant things with rustling movements appeared and then disappeared.
Stella blinked her eyes quickly and seriously pondered what it was, but when she didn’t get an answer, she looked up at Jihyeok.

“Did you see my brother…?”

“What?”

“Something like a fox’s tail… Existed and then disappeared… Over there…”

“Ah… That?”

Ji-hyeok scratches her chin as if wondering what to say.
Stella, who became more curious because of that, urged Ji-hyeok.

“Ah, what is it…? What?”

“Um… I’m YuRia’s younger sister, but Adele is looking after her.”

People who raise companion animals themselves refer to their children as younger siblings or daughters.
Stella, who understood Jihyeok’s explanation in a very ordinary way, asked again.

“Yuria senior’s younger brother…? Senior Yuria raises foxes too?”

“Well… Then that’s it.”

“Why are the answers so vague? Then, is that Adaline-senpai’s house?”

“Right. See you later brother. After enough explanation, you will understand.”

At Jihyeok’s lukewarm response, Stella’s eyebrows narrowed.
Because it reminded me of something Adele had said the other day.

‘I think he said he had a younger sister from another world… But didn’t he say he was Adaline senior’s younger sister…?’

By the way, I felt a bit strange.
It seems to be inherently repulsive, but she also seemed somehow comfortable.
A very contradictory feeling.
From the moment I saw the fox’s tail… No, it seemed like from the moment I entered this floor…

‘Is it because of my mood…?’

For some reason, I think my five senses have become more sensitive, but I think it’s because I used a lot of mental strength.
Stella, trying to figure out her sense of incongruity hovering vaguely in her own heart, blew her thoughts away when Adele came out of her open door without her shoes on.

“You are the youngest!”

Stella smiled broadly and responded in a rather loud voice.

“Seniors!”

Behind Adele, who was rushing forward like her nephew meeting her aunt, everyone including Saehwa was looking at Stella with a smile on their face.
Seeing them warms my heart.
The mere fact that a colleague is nearby is enough to do this.
She said she was moving, but there was very little hesitation, and even that quickly disappeared.

This decision is a good one.
Stella, who was so sure, hugged Adele as she ran over.

**

While Adele was introducing Stella to her house, I had a conversation with the doctor at Yuria’s house.
The subject was the agenda reported by Madison Swan this time.

“An official document bearing the seal of the World Union is spreading…? Why didn’t I know?”

“It’s because we work in an analog way. My sister has no choice but to know.”

“I’m sure it is… You planted a spy behind my back, by the way? Do you know Marcella?”

“I don’t even know Marcella. Sister explain.”

“I see. Marcella will like it.”

I approached the delighted doctor and gently stroked her belly.
Was it because of my love for the child?

“I’m sorry…!”

Sharp teeth protruded from both ends of the doctor’s upper lip as she let out a short moan, and her skin turned pale.
Same goes for eyes. As her blue irises turned red, as if they were stained with blood, her pupils were about to tear open vertically.
My stomach was about to loosen up as my mana was disturbed because I couldn’t hide my excitement.

Even her hidden wings made a flesh-slicing sound as if they were about to pierce her back.
After checking the doctor’s reaction, I said calmly.

“Calm down.”

“Sigh…!”

A doctor who uses energy and concentrates.
Returning to her true self, she let out a sigh of relief and apologized.

“I’m sorry… I’m still not good at handling magic…”

“Let’s be careful for now. If you’re patient, you won’t have to bother with camouflage.”

The doctor, who perfectly understood what I was saying, widened her eyes.

“No way… Did you inject malice into Stella’s Aether?”

“Right.”

“How is your reaction? Any changes?”

“It seems that only my senses are in a slightly heightened state.”

“Okay…? Enough to detect the demonic energy we exude?”

“It’s just to the point where it feels weird. I put in a very small amount so that Aether couldn’t even detect anything wrong, so it should return to normal in a few days.”

“Then I’m glad… Okay. I will be careful.”

The doctor put his hand behind her shoulder.
I felt her tingling pain as her wings tried to pop out against her will.
I said after lightly massaging her wing bones.

“That doesn’t mean you need to avoid Stella. You just have to concentrate well.”

“Yes. Oh, Marcella says…”

After that, I went out after talking about work with the doctor.
After waiting in the hallway for a while, the front door to the house where Stella would live opened.
Seeing her happily chatting with Adele, she doesn’t seem to be worried at all.
That was a good sign. It was proof that I feel very comfortable when I am with my colleagues.

She soon found her me and she bowed her head to Adele.

“Then, senior, I’ll see you soon…!”

“We’re going to party together, so come as soon as possible.”

“Yes, senior.”

Stella came over to me after parting ways with Adele, waving her hand.
Then she turned her head at a 15 degree angle and her expression hardened.

“What’s the matter?”

Stella, not answering my question, tugged at the hem of my dress to stiffen it up, then buried her nose there and sniffed.
Then she said in a low voice.

“Your clothes smell like women. The smell of the doctor.”

When did you smell the doctor again? Did you understand when we said hello earlier?
A slight chill comes to the spine.
I secretly swallowed my saliva and said calmly.

“It’s because I talked to the doctor alone for a while.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Regarding the headquarters operation.”

“Oh, I see…”

It was Stella who came back with a brightened expression.
I asked, sweeping my chest inwardly.

“How is the house?”

“Super good. Spacious, lots of rooms… Toilets… One in each room… Bathrooms…”

At the mention of the bathroom, Stella kicked the floor awkwardly.
You can see what you’re thinking.
Our little pervert is done. The Demon King is happy.

“When is a good moving date?”

“I want to do it as soon as possible. But brother, what do you say to Alex? It’s too much to say that you’ve been paid… Isn’t it?”

“Boyoung told my sister. When he said he was helping, tell Alex that Bo-young’s sister saved it.”

“No… Oppa, why did you say that without consulting me? And isn’t it so strange that Boyoung always did everything her sister did for her? She’s worried about what to say to her sister…”

You don’t have to worry at all.
Because Boyoung is a faithful servant who is happy to do everything I ask for.
Our doleong-I is very kind hearted, so I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

“I’m sorry I said it without consulting you.”

“Don’t do that in the future… What does your sister say? Didn’t you ask why she was trying to move?”

“He did ask.”

“So what did you say? Did you speak honestly?”

“No, I was just evasive.”

“Okay…? My brother could have told me instead…”

“Boyoung noona doesn’t know that we have a relationship like this. If you know too much about your circumstances, they will be suspicious. And I like that you talk about these things yourself.”

“I think I’m going to get scolded…”

“Would you hide it from your teacher because you were afraid of getting scolded? Boyoung noona is a person with a big heart, so she will fully understand your position. Trust me and tell me.”

“Ah Okay…”

Stella brought her thumb to her mouth and bit her snugly.
Imagining Boyoung’s reaction, he seemed afraid.
I said, shaking her head.

“Hands straight.”

“Ah, yes…”

“Even if you say that, it won’t be fixed.”

Stella, who responded with a bashful smile, buried her face in my chest.
Now her ankles were filled with happy shackles.
I can’t leave me forever because it’s a yard that even put malicious intent into it.
She will also want to stay with us forever.

After gently rubbing Stella’s back, I reached out and reached for the elevator.
Go back home and watch Alex explode inside and build up your hatred.
That way, later on, she will feel good about arguing with her brother.
