Chapter 481 – Chapter 481. Sweet Victory

“… Ummm.

Lee Ho-yeon scratched his head as he walked down the corridor of the hospital room.
Lee Ho-yeon, who sent Liliana’s party back, was returning to the hospital room.

… After all, hugging was too cheesy.
I didn’t hear anything particularly strange, but it bothered me for no reason.
Besides, it was embarrassing that everyone laughed happily.
I have to maintain my attitude as a real man. Well.
Will you pay attention to your words and actions in the future?

“But whatever… It’s fine, so it’ll be fine.”

Lee Ho-yeon licked his lips and returned to the hospital room.
It wasn’t that I hadn’t been out of the hospital room for that long, but since Imsol was sleeping, of course the barrier was open.

“You still haven’t woken up.”

Lee Ho-yeon approached Im Sol’s bed.
Im Sol, who is sleeping with a comfortable expression, her chest rises whenever she breathes lightly.
Baek Ah-yeong said she was fine, so she’s not worried, but she should wake up sooner rather than later.

‘But isn’t it a cliché to pretend to sleep like this?’

When she touches her, she subtly shakes her head, and eventually spreads her legs on her own because she can’t stand her good mood… She seemed to be having quite a bit of fun.

Cook. Cook.
Smack smack.

“As expected, the reality is harsh.”

However, even when he poked her body, nothing happened to Im Sol.
Lee Ho-yeon lay down on the bed with regret.
She is said to have good natural healing power, but for her speedy recovery, her stability must come first.

The devil she knows, Lucifer, is very warlike.
She actually ran into Liliana as soon as she met her, so you never know when a fight might happen in the future.
Condition hunting must be quickly shaken off.

Lee Ho-yeon was lying on her bed and running her smart watch.
She had a lot to think about, but for now she was going to check the news.

“It’s also upsetting.”

Dalian between himself and Im Sol.
It was a full-fledged training for anyone to see. Of course, it must have been a hot topic on the Internet.
There were many reporters in the auditorium, so the article might have already been published.

[Generation change between genius wizard Im Sol and genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon? Im Sol’s attempt to arrange the ranks under the guise of training]
[Academy Director. Turns out it’s just a sparring between the priests.]
[Why are teachers and students conflicting? Exclusive interview with a member of the Wizarding Society.]
[Mage Imsol who checks the tremendous growth of Cadet Lee Ho-yeon….]

“Do the damn thing. Very.”

How do they produce nonsense every day?
Occupational prejudice builds up because of a few irresponsible people.
Lee Ho-yeon turned off his smartwatch and covered his eyes with his hand while lying on the bed.

‘… Should I ask Irene for that?’

The Korean branch of the Iris Guild is well established, collaborating with Victoria Academy.
You can easily give me a friendly article.

“Wait a minute, come to think of it, I haven’t even said thank you yet.”

Irene saved Rebecca and the others. She was going to say thank you, but she passed out after sparring.
It was to convey Chiron’s message, but in the end, everyone was able to live thanks to Irene.

“Let’s deal with it now.”

Lee Ho-yeon activated the smart watch and sent a text message to Irene.

– Me: Mr. Irene. I have a request….

“Um… I’d rather do it over the phone.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was touching the keyboard to send a message, thought.
No matter how much it is, I’m even asking for an additional request, but wouldn’t it be a bit like texting.
She didn’t have a bad relationship with Irene, but she was too rigid.
Lee Ho-yeon turned off her text message window and immediately called Irene.

Ddu… Ddu…
Tiff.

A short signal rang, and Irene’s voice was heard over the smartwatch.

– Hello? What is it, Hoyeon Lee? Are you awake?
“Yes, Mr. Irene. I came to my senses a little while ago.”
– I’m glad. But what happened? It’s been a while since I called.
“I just called because I remembered something.”
– Okay? I thought you were asking for help with public opinion work.
“… I would really appreciate it if you could help me with that too.”
– Oh, I knew it.

Lee Ho-yeon smiled bitterly at Irene’s laughter.
She is also from the Information Guild, so she is quick-witted. She already knows

– Is it okay if I put down bad articles with Professor Im Sol?
“Yes. Thank you for always helping me.”
– It’s not that hard, so it’s okay. Is that the end of the business?
“Ah. I want to say thank you.”
– Thank?
“Irene saved Scarlett’s group from being attacked. Thank you very much.”
– Ah. You mean that? No. I was lucky enough to get it too.
“But I have to make sure. If Irene wasn’t there, it would have been a big problem. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. Thank you so much.”
– …… Mmm. It is.

Lee Ho-yeon suddenly sensed a strange atmosphere flowing.
What? Irene’s voice changed.
Did she just say that she was wrong?
When Lee Ho-yeon is feeling confused. Irene took her word for it.

– I understand, but it feels strange to be thanked.
“Yes?”
– I don’t know how to express it. Should I say it feels like an outsider protecting someone dear to you? You seem to care more about that. Oh, isn’t it like this… ? Well… Not. Just pretend you didn’t hear what I just said.
“Uh….”

Lee Ho-yeon shut her mouth and pondered.
He just conveyed his gratitude because he saved someone important to him, but I wonder if other heroines might feel that way.
Of course, it’s questionable whether Irene had that much affection for her, but she wasn’t blind enough to ask about it now.
Perhaps she even represented Elise’s point of view.

I don’t know how to respond right here.
Lee Ho-yeon did not think deeply and let the words that came to her mind come out of her mouth.

“I understand how you feel. I would have thanked Rebecca for saving Irene. Don’t worry, Irene is precious too.”
– Hey, don’t say anything strange. I’m not worried.
“But thank you for being honest. Irene. I’ll be careful from now on.”
– I don’t know. Anyway… I’ll hang up when the business is over!

Irene seemed unwilling to continue this conversation, and she was about to end her call immediately.
Lee Ho-yeon, who still had something to say, desperately stopped Irene.

“Hold on. Hold on! Irene. I have one more thing to tell you.”
– What?
“Chairon in the French Iris Guild. It’s still there, right?
– Yes. She’s still serving as an instructor at the Iris Guild.
“Then please set up a place to talk to me as soon as possible.”

Without Liliana’s memory, it would be Chiron and Albedo who have the most information about Lucifer.
I thought about having Irene or other guild members listen and pass it on to me, but I guess asking directly would less distort the information.

– The connection itself can be done even now. Just wait a few minutes.
“No. Right now I’m in the hospital… I’ll come home after I’m discharged.”

I haven’t come to my senses yet, but Im Sol is sitting next to me.
I didn’t want to have a hellish conversation with Lucifer in the hospital room.

– Okay. I’ll prepare that too.
“Yes. Thank you as always. Mr. Irene.”

Lee Ho-yeon hung up the phone with a satisfied smile.
After the three of them had spent time with Alice, Irene became more compliant.
It’s not like I was jealous earlier, it’s pretty cute.

“Uh, uh… Uh…”
“Uh?”

Jump up.

Hearing Im Sol’s moaning, Lee Ho-yeon immediately got up from the bed.
On the bed next to her, Im Sol was wriggling over her body with her eyes closed.

She looked at Lee Ho-yeon to her Im Sol’s face.
His expression didn’t look uncomfortable.
Doesn’t look like she’s sick, so maybe she’s about to wake up.
Lee Ho-yeon thought as she looked into Im-sol’s face.

‘… What should I do when I wake up?’

Her sleeping face is also very pretty.
As a man, I can’t help but feel strange when I think I can do anything with this person.

‘As expected, the mouth at first… No, you always did it with your mouth. It’s kind of like going straight to a girl, um… Will there be any other special experiences?’

When Lee Ho-yeon was seriously thinking about Im Sol’s face.
Imsol slowly opened her eyes.

“…Ah.”

My head is blank.
Her whole body felt heavy as if it were being crushed by steel.
However, it only felt that way, and thanks to Baek Ah-young’s treatment, there were no scars left on her body.
Perhaps the muscles or magic circuits are in a state of surprise.

“Huh? Professor Sol! Are you awake?”

Hearing her familiar voice, Im Sol looked up at her.
Blinking her eyes, she sees her disciple, Lee Ho-yeon, looking at her.
When his eyes met, he smiled softly.

“Our disciple…”
“Yes. I am. Professor. Now, look at my hand. How many numbers does this look like?”

Shuk. Shuk.

Lee Ho-yeon waved his hand from side to side with his index and middle fingers pinned.
Seeing this, Imsol laughed without realizing it.

“Two.”
“Oh. Fortunately, my hair is normal.”
“Your body is fine.”

Knock off.

Imsol forcibly moved his sulky body and put his back on the back of the bed.

“Don’t overdo it, just lie down.”
“Because it’s fine.”

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Im-sol and shook her head.
Who do you resemble to be so stubborn?

Im Sol looked healthy without any aftereffects. She still seemed a bit unsteady but she’ll be fine with a little rest.
She was also good at trusting Baek Ah-yeong.

‘I’m glad you look healthy, but….’

Lee Ho-yeon felt regret.
It’s fortunate that she didn’t have any aftereffects, but Imsol’s condition was very much the same as usual.
Every time I went to Im Sol’s lab to play, she continued to behave somewhat indifferently.
It was probably her idea to keep her distance in her own way.
Im Sol’s mind that she will only give everything to a man who is stronger than herself.
Lee Ho-yeon respected that.

‘That’s not to say I didn’t want a huge change in status right away….’

Could this be too similar?
She was in the same condition she was before she won the Dalian.
Or slightly avert your eyes. Or ashamed
It can change a bit

As she thought about Imsol, thoughts of her, which she had been deliberately avoiding, creeped up.

‘Couldn’t be because she’s not at her best. She’s caught off guard, so what if she says she can’t admit it.’

It’s not like she didn’t think of that.
From Im Sol’s point of view, she looked after her pupil, but she could have felt that her victory was robbed of her carelessness for a moment.
Or she may think that only the man who overpowers her in every field is the victor.

Then Lee Ho-yeon inevitably needed time.

‘If you say that this match is invalid… What should I do?’

Ugh

Lee Ho-yeon groaned and pondered.
He had poured everything into this sparring, so this job was extremely important.

“…?”

Meanwhile, Im Sol tilted her head as she saw Lee Ho-yeon moaning.
Why is my student suddenly doing that?
However, it wasn’t for a day or two that Lee Ho-yeon acted strangely, so Im-sol didn’t care.
She only has to say what she has to say.
Seeing Lee Ho-yeon biting her lip, Im-sol opened her mouth.

“Hoyeonah.”
“Yes?”
“Should I change my mood after a long time?”
“… A diversion?”

Imsol smiled bashfully.
Lee Ho-yeon blinked at Im Sol’s sudden words.
