Chapter 470 – Chapter 470. Sparring

While Irene is having an important talk at Lee Ho-yeon’s house.
Lee Ho-yeon, who was standing in front of Alice’s room, cautiously went inside.

‘It’s pretty to see after a long time.’

A pretty woman is cute even when she is pouting.
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Alice, who was pouting, and opened her mouth.

“Ellis. How are you?”
“Yes. It’s later than expected.”
“Sorry. I have work.”
“I was hanging out with another girl anyway.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled and entered her room.
Alice sighed and poured her wine into her new glass and set it down on the seat in front of her.

‘You mean sit here?’

The atmosphere is awkward. I don’t know what to say.
For some reason, Lee Ho-yeon felt as if she had come to a scolding seat, so she sat down on the opposite side of Alice.
Alice pushed the glass of wine in front of Lee Ho-yeon.

“Drink.”
“Yep.”

Sniffling.

As she raised her wine glass, the scent of sweet fruit tickled her nose.

‘It’s delicious.’

The wine flowed smoothly down her throat.
Of course, I’m not an expert, so I can’t evaluate how good wine is, but it seemed like an expensive wine.
Alice opened her mouth as soon as Lee Ho-yeon swallowed her wine.

“How does it taste?”
“It’s so delicious. Sweet and soft.”
“Is that over?”
“Well….”

What kind of reaction do you want?
Lee Ho-yeon checked the status window of Elise, who twirled her wine glass with her hand.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Ellis]

– [ Likeability: 95 ] ( +1.1 )
– [ Sex drive : 70 ]
– [ Appetite : 30 ]
– [ Fatigue : 50 ]

Current status: I’ve prepared my favorite wine. Why no response … Haven’t your preferences changed in the meantime?

‘Favorite wine?’

Lee Ho-yeon quickly recalled his memory.
Fortunately, as she recalled each conversation about wine she had with Alice, she was able to come up with it quickly.

‘There was definitely such a conversation.’

She chose a topic of conversation that suited Elise’s hobbies, but also talked about her wine.
Then, when asked what her favorite wine was, she gave the name of a wine she had picked up somewhere.
Thankfully, he seems to remember that.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he raised his wine glass.

“By the way, this is my favorite wine, did you know? Did I tell you?”
“No. It’s a coincidence.”
“Aha. I see. I thought you prepared it on purpose again.”
“… What do you think is pretty?”

Elise crossed her legs, turned her head, and drank her wine.
She made notes of the wines she said she liked, just in case, but luckily she wasn’t wrong.

‘Does anyone know how annoying it was to get this?’

She was the Lee Ho-yeon I saw in a week, so she was prepared too.
She brushed Sebastian through all her liquor stores, and when that wasn’t enough, she roamed around a lot herself.
A reaction like this should come out.

Sniffling.

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Alice while drinking her wine.
Still, seeing as I prepared for this, it seems that I didn’t get upset too much.

‘Should I bring up something?’

When she looked down, there was a cute rabbit-shaped apple on her table instead of snacks.
Do you enjoy wine with fruit?

“Did you cut this?”
“No. Sister.”
“Aha….”

Come to think of it, the last time I was hospitalized, there was an apple that Irene cut.
If nothing else, he is a mysterious person who is good at peeling apples.
Lee Ho-yeon brought up a story about Irene, who just came out.

“I met Irene at the front door, but her expression was not good.”
“… It’s because of you.”
“Me?”
“Because of you, I’ve had a strange relationship with her sister. How good she was. Haa…”

Alice let out a sigh of her frustration and regret.
Of course, not everything is Lee Ho-yeon’s fault.
Irene’s heart must have been the same before meeting Lee Ho-yeon.
However… In the end, it is true that Lee Ho-yeon’s existence made things bothersome.

“I’m sorry. Alice. But I also had a situation. Alice, you know.”
“… Does it have anything to do with that curse?”
“There’s nothing, so there’s no reason for that. What if I get hated by you…”

No matter how Lee Ho-yeon is, in this situation, ‘You were good too.’ I have no intention of saying the same thing.
Fortunately, Alice is able to understand her situation a little bit, so she can mix up her truth to some extent.
Lee Ho-yeon apologized to Alice with her head bowed.

“Then I understand… But no, it still annoys me.”

“Okay. Hit me until you’re angry. I’ll hit you.”
“I’m not going to hit you. And if you’re really sorry, you should have come and apologized.”
“I thought you were very angry because I didn’t hear from you.”
“Ha….”

Elise looked at the frustrated man’s face, shook her head, and let out a deep sigh.
If you don’t know a woman’s heart like this, how can she keep getting twisted?
I can’t quite understand

Swoop.

Ellis shook her head, then turned her head to the touch she felt on her shoulder.
Before she knew it, Lee Ho-yeon, who had risen from her seat and approached her, was rubbing her shoulder.

“What?”
“I just want to rub her shoulder for the first time in a while. Are you ready for sparring tomorrow? Who are you playing with?”
“Dr. Kang Hyorin.”
“The Korean branch manager is also participating.”
“Looks like he said he wanted to be with me. He’s a strange person.”

Lee Ho-yeon rubbed Elise’s shoulders and continued her conversation.
Of course, I checked the Dalian list, but real combat Dalian is a perfect topic for conversation.

“Come to think of it, a lot of reporters are coming tomorrow.”
“It’s the first time an event like this has been held at the academy. Since points were put into this sparring, we can check the fighting power of the cadets who are devoted to their hearts.”
“It has a lot of meaning.”
“Eh. Um…”

Ellis felt her touch gradually grow thicker and turned her head slightly.
Lee Ho-yeon was laughing behind her back.

“These are not the eyes of the person who just said sorry.”
“I’m sorry, so I’m working harder. I used to do this kind of massage often, right?”
“… Yes.”

The relationship between Alice and Lee Ho-yeon became deeper than when they had their first massage.
Her body has shuffled a lot since then, but since Elise’s congenital magical disorder was cured, her massages have been rare.

“Ughhh…?”
“I loved this place before, and I still do.”
“I-don’t think that something like this will forgive your mistakes. Okay?”
“Of course. This is just because I’m sorry, so you don’t have to worry about it. Come to think of it, what time did Irene say you’ll be back?”
“… My sister isn’t coming. She said she wanted to be alone with me today.”
“Then you’ll have plenty of time.”
“Ugh, huh…”

Alice felt her body tremble at Lee Ho-yeon’s touch.
A feeling you feel after a long time.
His whole body reacted to Lee Ho-yeon’s touch.

‘… It shouldn’t be like this.’

Alice slowly closed her eyes as her body relaxed.

*

Pandemic’s headquarters.
The Maestro’s space was always quiet and dark.
However, now that she had summoned the fourth apostle, a completely different atmosphere had formed.

“Ohhh… Is this a human being transformed into a monster type? It doesn’t look tasty.”
“Turn it off, ugh…”

It was the first magic I saw.
She was the most bizarre-looking of the demons she had ever seen, so it was not enough to attract Lucifer’s interest.
But maybe it’s because it’s too ugly? She lost control of her powers.

Koo Woo-wook. Quadduk.

Lucifer, who tore off the demon’s head, looked at the dead demon for a while and relaxed her hand.
The corpse fell helplessly to the floor, and Lucifer, losing interest, brushed off the blood from his hands and looked at the sitting human.
A human kneeling at a statue in the form of an animal claiming to be the devil.
To him, a real devil, he didn’t look like a devil at all.
Lucifer spoke to the Maestro in prayer.

“Are you still waiting for that revelation?”
“… Yes. A revelation just came down.”
“It’s really amazing to receive a revelation from a statue that has nothing on it.”

Maestro looked down at the dead demon and called another demon who was waiting for her to take away her corpse.
It has always been like this since the apostle Lucifer appeared. She was immune to her own indoctrination.
Of course, because he was summoned by Maestro’s magic, he had some deterrence, but he couldn’t stop his interest-oriented behavior from time to time.

“This is a revelation to cooperate with the apostles and put forward the assimilation of hell.”
“That’s right. I can feel the magic of hell from the pillars in this world. Is the reason why I came to the human world is the revival of hell?”
“And… He also told the apostle to help kill this man.”
“This?”

Maestro handed out information about the person to Lucifer.
It was a collection of information about a man.

Hoyeon Lee.
It was an opponent with a different fate from his own, the fate of summoning the demon king and destroying the earth.
Maestro felt uncomfortable watching Lucifer check her data.

… Never before had a revelation like this come down.

It wasn’t because of the demon king that he noticed that the man had the same fate as himself.
A heart that beats when you encounter a force that ignores your abilities.
Even a confident attitude that is different from other humans.
Everything is information that Maestro found out himself.
Since communication with the Demon King is a one-way street, she cannot convey the information she knows.
The Demon King should not know that he met Lee Ho-yeon.

But today, the Demon King himself gave a revelation.

‘Help Lucifer kill Lee Ho-yeon.’

The revelation was different and suspicious than before.
He only wanted to be summoned to Earth, he didn’t want to kill anyone in particular.
Revelation was nothing more than giving direction to important matters.
This revelation was very specific.
The Maestro was feeling disbelief at her long-awaited revelation.

‘What a pitiful human being.’

Lucifer’s own demonic eyes shone.
The person in front of me was also not ordinary. It was because there was a part of him that he couldn’t see even though his own magic eye was reacting.
In particular, the brainwashing ability was very unique. It is true that it is extraordinary for a human subject.

But Lucifer can read his emotions perfectly.
He was unsure of his actions. He was like a moving doll, unable to escape.
I can only think of you as a pitiful human being.

“This is also very… Interesting.”

Lucifer took his eyes off Maestro and frowned as he watched the video of Lee Ho-yeon.

“Did you say killing this human was a revelation from the demon king?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“The Demon King… The Demon King.”

Lucifer laughed.
His father, the demon lord of hell, is still confined to the demon castle.
He used all his magical energy to seal the demon castle.
They probably don’t have the capacity to bring forth revelations to the human world.

‘Who the hell is that?’

Sending himself to the human world, he is sending a revelation that he is the Demon King.
I was curious about his identity.

“Hmm…”

Lucifer stopped his thoughts and checked Lee Ho-yeon’s video.
Although he was curious about the demon king who sent him here, he was equally curious about the human named Lee Ho-yeon.

‘It’s the same feeling as back then.’

Nothing was visible.

When I saw the castle of demons hidden by unknown magical power.
For the first time, Lucifer felt his demonic eyes powerless.
By the way, I feel the emotions I felt then for an insignificant human being.

He thought that the reason he came to the human world was to assimilate hell, but he changed his mind after seeing this human.
A person named Lee Ho-yeon who can’t see anything. He seemed to have a secret like that of an unidentified ‘Demon King’.

“Okay. Let’s leave right away. Did you say Academy?”

Even in Hell, there are educational institutions.
If it’s a human educational institution, there must be something more interesting.

Maybe you can find traces of your brother.
