Chapter 365 – Chapter 365. Return (2)

“My daughter. Wouldn’t it be better to go by private plane right now?
“Dad, why don’t we buy a whole seat on the plane to make Alice’s trip comfortable?”
“Should I do that now?”
“…Please both of you stop.”
“…”

After arriving at the airport.
I laughed out loud as I listened to the conversation between Isaac and Irene.
It seemed like this.
Could those people just let Alice go?
Isaac and Irene were holding Alice with faces close to crying, and it was a frustrating sight to see.

“Honey, stop now. Irene, you should stop too.”
“Uhm, yes…”
“… I know.”

Fortunately, Sophia, who came with me, was at least normal.
Mediating between Isaac and Irene is the perfect mother figure.

“Have a good trip, Alice. Everyone loves you, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yeah. I know.”
“Ellis. Finally, her father’s heart…”

I thought the conversation was going to be long, so I backed off for a while.
Honestly, it was fun once or twice, but it was boring to listen to continuously.
Even if your daughter is an idiot, that’s too harsh.
That’s why Alice doesn’t like it.

– When is our flight?
“Okay. I think I’ll get on in 30 minutes.”

I walked around the airport talking to Liliana.
There is about an hour left until the departure time, so it’s time to prepare.

“Oh, I’ll have to buy some presents for the kids.”
– Sup, how about buying some bread?
“Tell me about some delicious bread. Let’s buy it.”

I bought all of Liliana’s recommendations at the high-end bakery in the airport.
I also bought a high-quality packaging box with quality maintenance magic, so I’m sure you can enjoy it in Korea as well.
In addition to that, after purchasing accessories-like gifts that could be given to other heroines, both hands became full.

– Now let’s go!
“Yes.”

When I returned to my original seat after shopping, it seemed that Alice’s greetings were over.

“I’ll go now.”
“Ellis. If you’re having trouble anytime, call your sister, okay?”
“Huh, my daughter… Will you come during vacation? Dad will be waiting for you…”
“Yes. Of course. But now I really have to go.”

I shook my head at Isaac, who was still doing that.
Irene was also seen next to Elise, who answered in annoyance.

‘Today is also the last day with Irene.’

I gave her her contact information, but today is the end of seeing her face.

“…!”

Just then, Irene, who was looking in my direction, met her eyes.
When I greeted her with a light smile, Irene, who opened her eyes, averted her eyes from me.
Shall I go say hello too?
I had to say hello to the guild leader anyway.
You’ve been at my convenience for a week, so I have to say thank you.

“Guild leader.”
“Huh… Hmm? What is it. Lee Ho-yeon.”
“I came to say hello. Thank you for the week. Even the vice guild leader.”
“Yeah. No. Hoenn-kun also had a hard time.”
“Well…Yes. I worked hard. I don’t like it.”
“Honey, why are you doing this again? Huh?”

I left the grumbling Isaac alone and greeted Irene.

“Thank you Irene too. You took care of me in many ways.”
“… Yes.”

Irene greeted her lightly and then looked at her.
He doesn’t seem to want to continue the conversation.
Well, so is my country.

★ Heroine status window

[Irene]

─ [Likeability rating: 30] (+ 0.2)
─ [ Sexual Desire: 50]
─ [ Appetite : 40 ]
─ [ Fatigue rate: 40 ]

Current Status: Is it okay if I stay with Alice…. I also need to protect….

She said that she had cut off her relationship with Alice, so her liking rating rose to 30.
Wouldn’t this get in touch soon?
I immersed myself in waiting for Alice to finish her greeting, and then Alice approached after finishing her greeting.

“Sorry, did you wait?”
“It’s okay. Everyone seems to like you a lot.”
“It’s a problem because it’s annoying.”

Alice and I headed to the boarding area to board the plane.

*

– Dear guests, I have arrived in Korea. After the plane has come to a complete stop….

“… Have you arrived already?”

I looked at my watch and opened my eyes wide.
It seems like less than two hours since I got on the plane, but the announcement started.

“Didn’t you see the timetable?”
“Yeah. It’s annoying.”
“…”

The time now is 4 PM.
Apparently, I boarded the plane in the morning, but when I got off, it was afternoon.
It feels like a waste of time
We packed up and prepared to get off the plane.
It was a little complicated because there were so many things to take care of, but I felt comfortable at the thought of going home.

“Be careful what you do outside.”
“Yes?”

Then, Alice said something strange of her own.
What do you mean be careful?

“What are you looking out for?”
“There will be a lot of people.”
“Aren’t there many at the French airport?”

At the French airport, strangely, no one recognized Alice.
No matter how early in the morning it was.
Obviously on set, Alice must have celebrity-level popularity, but did she know that nobody knew her as the Iris Guild cracked down on information?
If that’s the case, you probably don’t even know we’re getting off in Korea.

“You’ll know when you get out. Be careful, be good.”

As she tilted her head at Elise’s words and came out, she finally understood what he meant.

– Why are there so many people?!
“…”

I don’t understand either.
Was I this famous?

Click-click-

The airport was full of people.
From reporters pointing at cameras… Even the people who look like my fan club.
The reason I thought it was a fan club was simple.

[Genius Wizard Lee Ho-yeon Fan Club.]
[Welcome Lee Ho-yeon’s return.]

It was openly written as a fan club.

– A fan club? Do you even have a fan club?!
“What is it… Is there a fan club that I don’t even know about?”

Liliana asked, startled.
But this time I was also surprised.
I searched my name often on the internet, but if I didn’t know, where the hell was it hiding?

Will it become a dark fan club?

“…Why do I have fans?”
“It’s amazing. Genius wizard.”
“No, I have fans, why don’t you?”

Isn’t it normal for pretty girls to have fans?
Why did a guy like me have a fan club?

“I’m in France. I’ll go back to France after I graduate from Victoria Academy, so it’s normal that I don’t have fans in Korea.”
“Ah, I see… But why didn’t I see it in France?”
“Well, I guess I didn’t know because it was morning.”
– There’s a fan club that I don’t have….

Liliana muttered in shock.
Something burdensome
It’s been a while since I’ve seen reporters in person like this.

Click-click-

She walked toward the airport exit, listening to the strained shutters.
There were a lot of people and guards were blocking the road, but I felt like a real celebrity.

Swoop-

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! Please give an interview about the centaur captured in France!”
“Please say a word about the Victoria Academy preferential treatment controversy!”

Oh, that’s noisy
As she passed right by the reporters, she squinted her eyes in annoyance, when she suddenly felt a strange touch on her arm.
Alice grabbed my arm.
Elise’s grabbing her arms wasn’t enough, so she casually crossed hers.
Why is he acting weird again?
I asked, lowering my voice.

“Ellis. What’s wrong?”
“This is manners when a man and a woman enter the country together. Do you live without watching the news?”
“… Is it?”

If you think about it, you always cross your arms at awards ceremonies or something like that, I guess it’s similar to that.
I didn’t know

“Brother! I’m a fan! Kyaaaaagh!”

Do celebrities feel this way?
I shouldn’t be nervous, but seeing people staring at me made me feel a bit burdened.

Click-click-

– Hey, they’re arm in arm?! Take a picture!
– Brother! Brother!! What is that bitch!!!

And, as I walked with my arms folded, I kept hearing strange words.
The reaction is too strong for manners?

“Hey. Are you crossing your arms? You lied.”
“…”

Alice was turning her head to me.
If you see her shoulders tremble, you might be holding back a laugh.

“Ehh…”

Fooled again
I was going to solve it now, but the pictures were already taken.
An article will come out soon.

‘What if other women see it?’

I do not know.
Even then, don’t tell me that you were deceived.
Because there were so many crises, this level did not even feel like a crisis.
Rather, I walked close to Alice and her body.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m just going to stick around.”
“… Let go.”

Perhaps it was embarrassing to stick to her body, Elise distanced herself from me.

“Am I embarrassed?”
“No, there’s no need to stick around like this…!”

I found Alice’s reaction amusing, so I attached her body even more.
Why is she embarrassed that she started first and then takes another drink?
The clothes of Ellis, who was about to fall and me who tried to attach her body, rubbed against each other.
It seems rather embarrassing that reporters are right next to them, but they are stuck right next to them.

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! Please say a word!”

“What’s your relationship with Cadet Ellis!”
“Don’t do it…!”
“You started first.”

We walked past the reporters.
The more I was with Ellis, the more people in the fan club screamed, but what can I do?
It’s strange to have a fan club when there are so many women.
I need to make them find someone other than me.
I didn’t mind the reporter’s presence and clung to Ellis more, but soon I felt a strange feeling in my pocket.

Feeling that something is missing.
When I subconsciously lowered my gaze, I saw a black cloth that had fallen on the floor.

“Uh?”

Seeing Liliana’s panties on the floor, I stopped involuntarily.
No, shit.
Why is this here?
Yesterday obviously shoved it in my pants….

‘Wait a moment.’

I remembered.
Yesterday, Liliana and I packed our things late into the night, took off our pants, and went to sleep. I forgot that they were in the pants and came back wearing them in the morning.
I forgot because I was just joking around for a while, and I didn’t even know it was in my pocket because the area was small.

“What is that? A handkerchief?”
“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! Just one word please!”
“Aren’t those panties?”

Reporters nearby checked the panties.
Fortunately, there was a guard, so I didn’t seem to notice that it was panties right away, but sadly, Alice was standing right next to me.

“Wow….”

Elise opened her mouth, looking at me and her panties on the floor.
Normally, I would have sold it, asking where such garbage is, but I forgot it because I was so stupid.

‘Let’s move on naturally.’

I quickly organized my thoughts.
Actually what… It’s not a very strange situation.
It’s not like you’re doing anything illegal, and you might as well get a pair of panties out of your pocket, right?

First you have to pick up your panties.
It must have been because I thought a lot, but the actual time only passed by a few seconds.
Reporters should get it before they take pictures.
I leaned down to pick up my panties.
However, there was a hand that grabbed the panties faster than my hand.

“Ellis?”

Ellis grabbed my panties and glanced at the reporters.
What.
Why do you do that

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! Please tell us about the item that came out of your pocket!”
“What’s your relationship with Cadet Ellis!”

Seeing the reporters still intently pushing their microphones, Ellis gave a sneaky smile, then she crossed my arms tightly and whispered to me.

“…Come find me at my house.”

Eris tucked Liliana’s panties into her pocket, untied her arms, and she ran in front of Udada.
It was the first time I had ever seen him run so hard.

– What! Why are you carrying my panties! Catch that one!

Liliana groaned and trembled, and I let out a sigh as I watched Elise’s back as she ran away.

What if you go away like that….
