Chapter 355 – Chapter 355. My Girlfriend Can’t Be Unemployed

Time passed quickly as I played with Liliana.
Of course, it was hard for her to hear that hellish song, but luckily she was able to hold on until Scarlett came.

“… You’re finally here.”
“Huh? What are you talking about… Oh, it’s a Scout!”
“Yes. Miss Liliana.”

Again and again.

As always, Scarlett opened the window and appeared.
Even so, not a single wrinkle in the clothes is a really professional look.
Now I want her to go to the door soon.

“Hoyeon-nim. I have something to tell you.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes. That’s important.”
“… What?”

Have you ever been pregnant?
Although I didn’t check the birth control spell. No way…

“I became unemployed starting today.”
“… What?”

I looked at Scarlett’s face, narrowing her eyes.

*

“That’s it.”
“… Really?”
“Yes. I will be unemployed starting today.”

I covered my eyes with the palm of my hand when Scarlett said that she had just handed in her resignation and even had her permission.
My girlfriend can’t be unemployed….
Okay.
Let’s hear why.

“It’s your freedom to quit… But what’s the reason?”
“Since you got caught anyway, you have to give up one or the other. Either you or the Iris Guild.
“Did you get caught? What did you do dude. You should have been careful.”
“… I was attacked instead of you in front of everyone, but I wonder if the guild leader doesn’t know that.”
“Ah….”

Come to think of it, yes.
There’s no way the world’s Isaac could go beyond that.
If you don’t even notice that much, you should give up the position of Iris guild leader.

“Besides, since Iris guild kept coming in and out of this inn, Isaac-nim must have noticed it too.”
“I see. Then, does that man know that I’m going to Alice?”
“Well, that’s something only Isaac knows.”

Something scary
Also, be careful at night.
Scarlett continued, tapping her table with her fingers.

“I’m going back to Korea soon anyway… It’s not bad to organize everything in advance. I got tired of it.”
“I’m sorry. Scarlett. I refuse to be an unemployed woman.”
“Then, since I brought good information to the guild leader, let’s ask him to receive it again.”
“I love you. I will never put a drop of water on your hands for the rest of my life.”
“Thank you, sir. That was quite a romantic confession.”

Scarlett laughed bashfully.
It’s a classic confession in Korea, but it works in France.
I learned something good.
Then Liliana interrupted, clapping her hands.

“You don’t have to go to work anymore! Scarlett! You can keep playing with me!”
“Yes. Thanks to Liliana-sama.”
“Yes, yes. Well done. Great job. Scout!”
“… Liliana. Can you fix the title now?”

It’s not once or twice, I’m confused too when I call Scarlett and Scout interchangeably.
It’s not once or twice that I almost called Scarlett Scout without realizing it.
It’s all because of Liliana.

“It’s okay. Scarlett is gone now. All that’s left is Scout.”
“…Yes. I don’t know what you mean, but you’re fixing it with a scout?”

Are you Scarlett at work and Scout at home?
It looks roughly the same, but I can’t be sure.
Now that I am unemployed, I will never know again.

“Scout! I can’t do it. Do you want to hear my song too?”
“You mean the song?”
“… Well, enjoy listening.”

I don’t understand what’s going wrong.
I gave up talking to Liliana and looked at her smartwatch.
I have to reply to messages.

“How is it? It’s great. Hip-hop is popular, so I tried one too.”
“…… Yes.”

I checked Scarlett’s expression while replying to the message.
Does Scarlett not give a positive answer to that hellish song?
It was pretty cute to see Scarlett contemplating how to react so Liliana wouldn’t get hurt.

At that time. Instantly, she sensed that the magic around her was distorting.

Swoop-

“Well?”
“Haha….”

At the same time, I hear the sound of rapid breathing behind me.
I looked back, red hair blocking my view.
There is only one woman I know with red hair.
It’s just Rebecca.

“What is it, Rebecca?”
“Ugh… Baby daddy. Ha ha.”
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Rebecca’s urgent appearance for the first time.
It wasn’t like this even when he mistook me for a Rune clan and tried to attack me.

“Drink this and calm down.”
“Ha, yes. Thank you…”

I handed Rebecca the coffee I was drinking, and Rebecca, who took a breath while drinking her coffee, soon sat down next to me.
After shaking off her clothes as if she were weary, Rebecca took off her jacket and hung it up on her chair and opened her mouth.

“Whew… I almost died. Really.”
“…Why are you suddenly like that? Come to think of it, I sent you a message saying something was wrong. What’s going on?”
“Ugh… I’ll tell you everything.”

The story I heard from Rebecca was quite shocking.
I was listening to Pandemic’s executive meeting, and it was said that Pandemic was watching me for preventing terrorism in France and Victoria Academy.
It’s not a big deal.
By the way…

“Ummm… Well, actually, it’s about time.”

Naturally.
In the first place, the main character should be attracted to the pandemic.
Of course, in the original game, a year had to pass at the earliest, but my powers had already become stronger than in the second year of the original.
Enough to get your attention.
In addition, it prevented a lot of terrorism of the pandemic than the original work.
It was because the Victoria Academy prevented a great terrorism in France.

“I still don’t feel well.”
“It’s not that much. It’s a big deal.”

Rebecca seemed to care about me.
Only from my point of view, ‘Something has come.’ It’s just this kind of impression, but it’s probably right to think that it’s a big deal in the eyes of a third person.
No, but isn’t Rebecca dangerous enough to be aware of my existence?

“Thank you for your concern. Rebecca. I think it’s a big deal too. But isn’t Rebecca more dangerous than me? If you know me, I don’t think you’ll miss my relationship with Rebecca.”

No matter how much Rebecca has a rune’s barrier, it might happen once in a while.
Because there is no place where there is no eye of pandemic.
And the moment you get caught, you’ll be brainwashed again.
Now being in a pandemic has become too dangerous.

“Yeah. That’s why I’m going to quit today.”
“… Yes?”
“I’m unemployed starting today. Baby’s father. What should I do?”

Rebecca pursed her lips and draped her body on her table.
… Are you also unemployed?

*

After a while.
Rebecca straightened herself up and clenched her fists proudly.

“But don’t worry, I have a lot of money saved up!”
“… That’s fortunate.”

I should say I’m glad
Without money, even the Rune clan could not survive.
That’s the reality
How much money does it cost to raise children?

“Actually, I’m unemployed, but I have a lot of money saved up.”
“Oh my, the baby daddy’s girlfriend is also unemployed now? I heard she belongs to the Iris Guild?!”
“Somehow it happened. I was bitten hard by the bad guy.”
“Yeah. It’s a good choice. Women are the happiest when they have children at home. Oh, I’ll pay for our baby support, so don’t worry about the baby daddy’s girlfriend.”

“…Why would I worry about that?”

Then Scarlett and Liliana also joined our conversation.
It seems that the sharing of impressions about the hellish song is over.

“By the way, why doesn’t Rebecca call Scout by his first name?”
“I’ll call you from now on. I did it because it was fun to react when I said baby daddy’s girlfriend, but now she doesn’t respond funny. Scarlett.”
“…I thought it was real.”
“Why are you arguing with Scarlett who is still…”
“I’m just doing it because I want to be friends.”
“That’s right. Rebecca will also want to scout and get to know you.”
“As expected, Liliana understands what she’s saying… But will Liliana keep talking flatteringly?”
“I’m older than you, what are you talking about?”
“…”

I don’t know why there are so many headache-inducing conversations today.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad

‘I’m sure it’s a good one, right?’

It will all be an expression of affection.
I looked at Rebecca and continued her words.

“Well, yes. Wouldn’t Rebecca be staying with us too? I hope she gets along well.”
“It’s good! I was afraid I’d be kicked out.”
“Why am I kicking you out? Oh, come to think of it, doesn’t Rebecca have personal power?”
“Yeah. First of all, I released her brainwashing. Then, I gave her severance pay and fired her.”
“Is that okay?”

Just giving severance pay and getting fired?
I was worried that the sad reality of a father who lost his job overnight would unfold, but the reality was more devastating than I thought.

“That’s better. I picked up and used those who have no talent anyway. I told them to hide as much as possible before the pandemic finds out, so I’ll take care of it.”
“Ah… Maybe they’ll be targeted by the pandemic. They might be able to dig up information on Rebecca.”
“Probably, it will be unconditional. But since they were decent enough for their loyalty, we should trust them. They gave us a rough overview of the situation when we brainwashed them.”
“… Rebecca is very affectionate.”
“It’s not that I have a lot of affection. I just think that being kind means getting lucky.”

In fact, killing all of Rebecca’s forces is the neatest solution to get rid of the anxiety factor at all.
I’m glad you’re still a good person.
While I was talking to Rebecca, Scarlett and Liliana were also talking to each other.

“Scout, how do we earn our living now?”
“The amount of money Hoyeon-nim took from Miss Elise is quite a bit.”
“Oh… That’s right. I made a lot more than my broadcast.”
“And Liliana-sama’s broadcasting revenue will gradually increase. I’ve noticed that these days, it’s better to upload edited videos than streaming…”
“Yes? Can I do that too?”

Well.
Cost of living is an important thing.
I looked at Rebecca again, as the two seemed to be discussing important business matters.

“Come to think of it, what’s going on with that fake dungeon magic?”
“Ah, I’m preparing, but… Honestly, I think it will take quite a bit of time.”

One day, the day will come when we finally have to reveal the truth to the heroines.
The shocking fact that I have over 10 girlfriends….
Fake dungeon magic being prepared to reduce the shock at that time.
I didn’t expect it to be finished right away anyway, so I continued my conversation leisurely.

“Do you need anything? Or can I help you? I have my own money saved up.

“Um… Money doesn’t have a place to go to your salary anymore, so it’s okay. We can form a magic circle together.”
“Then let’s make a magic circle together. We’ll have a lot of time when we go back to Korea.”
“I’m glad. Oh, when are we going to have our baby?”
“… I’m a little less busy now.”

I have already finished preparing my heart to embrace Rebecca.
Actually, it doesn’t require any preparation.
I’m just doing what I normally do.

“I’m fine right now… But didn’t the baby’s father say he was going back to Korea the day after tomorrow?”
“That’s right. The day after tomorrow is Thursday.”
“Then, shall we perform a riot that day…!”

Rebecca licked her lips and met her eyes with mine.
She was like a child with a toy she longed for.

“In Korea?”
“Yes. Children need to be raised in a good environment!”

Rebecca seemed to have relaxed a bit.
It seems like just yesterday that she cried at first because she couldn’t make children.

“At first, he looked very unstable, but he seems to be fine now.”
“I don’t have to work anymore… I can afford it. I need to learn about baby products first.”
“… You’re not even pregnant?”
“Yes. I have to do it before my body gets heavy. The father of the baby always take care of himself. Because I have to squeeze out high-quality genes.”
“That, talk a little… Uhh. Yes. I understand.”

I swallowed her words as I watched Rebecca smile happily.
Okay. It was good.
