Chapter 491 – Chapter 491. Love and War (3)

My head gets cold.
The intoxication that had risen on Alice’s body disappeared in an instant.

It was really a moment.
Irene came out of the barrier and immediately permeated into the void.
If I hadn’t looked down at the right moment, I would never have seen it.
I was lucky.

“… Is it bad luck? I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.”

Perhaps this incident will ruin all of the friendship between the sisters.
Ellis emptied the wine left in her glass as if pouring it into her mouth.
She could not comprehend what was happening before her eyes.

Did Irene come out of Lee Ho-yeon’s house?

She adjusted to some extent, but when she first learned of Irene’s heart, she was a shock even to Elise.
I thought she liked Lee Ho-yeon, because to her surprise, she liked herself, her younger brother.
Fortunately, all Irene wanted was for her to know her heart.

The relationship between the sisters didn’t change much, and she didn’t have to fight over Lee Ho-yeon.
There was no need to force three. Even Irene said that she would not have a relationship with Lee Ho-yeon unless she had Alice’s permission.
That is why Ellis accepted this relationship as well.

I don’t know if Lee Ho-yeon is in that house right now.
What is certain is that it is strange for Irene to enter Lee Ho-yeon’s house.

“Sister….”

She herself still liked her sister. It is true that she likes her sister, although she still does not understand the love she has for her.
But if she doesn’t keep her promise to Lee Ho-yeon… She didn’t know how she herself would change either.
Alice bit her lip and went down to the first floor porch.

At that moment, Irene opened the front door of her house with her shoulders drooping.

“It’s hard…”

As the leader of the Iris Guild’s 1st team, she has tough things even for herself.
Those women are what makes Irene the hardest lately.
Every time I go to Lee Ho-yeon’s house, I get exhausted.
The feeling of being swept away by the unique atmosphere.
There are too many women who emit a different wavelength than Irene.

“Still, it’s a big harvest to figure out the power of women.”

If there is power, there is also a quarrel. Maybe I can use it anytime.
Irene nodded her head in satisfaction.

“I’m hungry. When Elise returns, she’ll ask for a glass of wine with me after a long time.”
“… Sister.”
“Huh? Elise?”

Irene widened her eyes as she watched Alice come down from her second floor.
She said she was going out today, but she’s already back.

“Ellis, did you come to pick me up because you missed your sister? Are you hungry? Shall we have dinner together?”

Irene smiled and approached Ellis.
She said that although she had been working hard, the fatigue of the day seemed to go away when she saw her beloved brother.
Seeing that she had a bad expression, I wondered if she had a bad dream.
Irene, who opened her arms, hugged Elise as it was….

“Why are you leaving Lee Ho-yeon’s house?”
“… Ah?”

Irene, who was approaching Alice, stopped with her arms raised.
She was like a doll whose batteries had run out.
Irene thought for a brief moment as her body creaked and lowered her arm.

‘Oh, how did you know?’

Irene is not stupid either.
She knew in advance that Alice was going to a cafe today.
She arrives from Lee Ho-yeon’s house to Alice’s house in a few steps, but in the meantime, she stays vigilant and uses her stealth.
She did the best she could.

However, the hot weather changed Elise’s plan, and she had a short break in hiding from the barrier of Rune.
In the meantime, this happened due to the coincidence that Alice was looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s house.

“… Alice. Didn’t you say you were going to a cafe today?”
“It was hot, so I just stayed at home.”
“Aha. Aha… I see. Then you must be still hungry. Shall we have a deep conversation with you over a glass of wine after a long time?”

Irene naturally turned Elise’s body backwards.
Once you take the time to drink a glass of wine….

“Sister. Don’t talk back and tell me here. I’m really angry?”
“Yeah. I’ll tell you… Don’t be angry.”

Of course it couldn’t work.
Irene followed Ellis like a mouse caught by a cat.

Alice’s room.
Alice, who sat down at the table first, waited for Irene to sit across from her.
Irene, who glanced at the wine she had on the table, felt like a suspect under investigation and she sat down at the table.

“So? Don’t hide anything and tell me. I’m going to ask Lee Ho-yeon as well.”
“…”

Irene looked at Elise’s eyes.
Fortunately, Irene did not come to meet Lee Ho-yeon.
Instead, she only met her housemates.

‘It could be something bigger….’

During the operation, Irene accidentally found out that Ho-yeon Lee had several cohabitants.
She kept it a secret from Elise, as she was well aware of her character.

“Sister?”
“Ugh, uhm… Instead, promise me you won’t get angry until you hear it all. I’ll be honest with you all.”
“… I see. So tell me.”

Ellis tucked her waist into her chair with her arms crossed.
Okay. It won’t be too late to listen to it and think about it.

“Where do I start? Haha… The Victoria Academy student council president asked me to do the job… No. It was when Lee Ho-yeon came to my house a while ago…”

Irene spoke slowly of what she knew.
She was asked to cooperate with her cohabitants who knew that Ho-yeon Lee had a suspicious secret, and she provided information about Ho-yeon Lee several times.
Today was also part of that, and even the fact that I couldn’t meet Lee Ho-yeon.

“Really?”
“… Yes. I’m sorry I hid it.”
“Four cohabitants…?”

Irene felt the seriousness of the situation as she saw Elise’s expression harden rapidly.

‘I knew it would be like this, but I didn’t tell you.’

It was a natural result.
Of course, Alice knows that her ego is strong.
If you tell her that she has four cohabitants with Lee Ho-yeon, of course this reaction will come.

“Eh, Ellis. Uhhh… What should I do?”

Irene closed her eyes.
When she first found out she was shocked, even Irene.
If it was Alice, it would be even worse.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, there was no way she could shield Lee Ho-yeon.

At that time, I was seriously contemplating whether I should curse with her, saying that she is human trash.

“Sister. I have a question.”
“I’ll answer what I know… But don’t be too shocked. Ellis. You knew he was a bad guy.”
“No, not that. He said Ho-yeon Lee had a suspicious secret.”

Ellis was thinking of something different from Irene’s worries.

Just ‘curse’.

Lee Ho-yeon’s situation was understood to some extent by Alice.
He has no choice but to touch a woman because of an unknown curse.

Knowing that, Elise also let that tremendous playboy temperament go.

She said, ‘Of course she hasn’t professed to be dating yet… It’s okay to leave it alone.’

If adult men and women see each other’s naked bodies and do everything they have to do, it’s the same as making a public statement.
Ho-yeon Lee should also take responsibility if he has a conscience.

Anyway, because of that curse, Ellis was in a very troublesome state.

‘I go to the black pillar every day… Actually, she imitated that magic.”

We are assuming that Lee Ho-yeon’s curse was a pandemic or the devil.
Then it was natural for him to study the magic of the black pillar.
It seemed that the curse could not be told to others, so it could be misunderstood as a suspicious secret.

‘Is it to solve the curse?’

After thinking for a while, Elise raised her head and looked at her Irene.
Irene didn’t know what to do with her worried eyes as she looked at herself.
She doesn’t know if this is true, but Elise cautiously opens her mouth.

“… Curse.”
“Yes?”
“Have you ever told your sister about the curse on Lee Ho-yeon?”
“Curse…?”
“Once when I was with Lee Ho-yeon. I said it once.”

After Alice finds out about Irene and Lee Ho-yeon’s relationship.
She has never been able to hold back her anger and let it come out of her mouth.

“Well….”

Irene recalled her memories.
She must have heard the word curse.
It was the day I did 3P.

When she confesses her heart to Ellis, she never hears the word curse.
However, she didn’t ask in detail.
Irene was in no position to say anything, and she said that in the end it all worked out for her.
After that, she erased the word curse from her memory.

“Maybe… It has something to do with what you are looking for.”

Elise shared her secret to her sister, which she knew only herself.

*

The day she decided to end her patient life.
Lee Ho-yeon moved her frowning body.

Also, people have to keep working.
As soon as she takes a few days off, her body sends out a bunch of her signals that she wants more rest.
Lee Ho-yeon, who was forced to leave the house, walked the streets in a daze.

‘It’s nice because I’m taking a break from the academy.’

Time is much freer.
In the first place, Lee Ho-yeon had no need for classes at the academy.
From theory to practice.
Except for Im Sol, there is no other professor who can teach Lee Ho-yeon.

‘I’ll have to go see the professor later.’

Since I decided to visit the hospital, he must stop by.
Lee Ho-yeon walked to the club building.
The destination is the student council on the 17th floor.

At this time, only Moon Soo-rin, the student council president, is working.
She is the student council president and the president’s granddaughter.
I have a lot of things to do, so I often skip classes that I don’t need.
Coincidentally, Lee Ho-yeon also had time, so she would be angry if I didn’t go out on a day like today.

“But I don’t think Surin noona has too much work.”

She skipped class because she has a lot of work, but she asked me to come hang out.
Isn’t that a bit odd too? She wondered if she was forced to take time to meet him.
Moon Soo-rin is not that kind of person.

Lee Ho-yeon thought about that and she boarded the elevator.

Belt ring.

When I got off the 17th floor, I saw an empty student council.
There was also a publicity department in the corner, but it’s been a long time since I didn’t go in there either.
Let’s thank the student council for constantly cleaning.

Lee Ho-yeon quietly headed to the student council president’s office.
In the student council president’s office, of course, Lee Ho-yeon saw the person he was looking for.

Moon Soo-rin.
She was sitting and concentrating on her paperwork.
Seeing her tongue licking her lips, she seems unresolved.
Lee Ho-yeon opened the door and went inside.

“Sister Surin.”
“Ah, Hoyeonah!”

As soon as Moon Soo-rin saw Lee Ho-yeon, she got up from her seat, and Lee Ho-yeon gave Moon Soo-rin a hug as she approached.
Seeing that she was so happy, she was also glad to come.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it since the actual battle.”
“Yeah. I missed you.”

Seeing Munsu Rin rubbing her head against her chest, Lee Hoyeon smiled at her and patted Munsu Rin’s head.

“Sister. I heard you’re busy. You asked me to come, but I came. Is your job okay?”
“Hoyeon is also a patient. I didn’t mean to play.”
“Yes?”

Turn around.

Moon Soo-rin dragged her luxurious chair from the corner of her student council room to the side of her own work seat.
A chair that looks expensive at first glance.
Maybe she’s better than the one in the student president’s office.
With her warm smile, Soo-rin Moon pulled Lee Ho-yeon’s arm and sat her in her chair.

“I’m sitting there and resting. If you want to lie down, you can lower the lever next to it. That’s right. It has a massage function.”
“… Are you just sitting there?”
“Yeah. That’s fine. Let’s stay together while I’m working. You can wear a smart watch or sleep if you feel sleepy.”

Moon Soo-rin smiled. She has something called her conscience too.
I am grateful that Lee Ho-yeon, a patient, came to play.
She is recovering from playing with herself and can’t imagine how sad she will be if something goes wrong with him.
She wanted instead to stay with her in the student council room, where she was lonely. As for Moon Soo-rin, just being with Lee Ho-yeon puts her at ease, and her work efficiency improves.

“Umm… Yes. I will. If it’s comfortable for you.”

Lee Ho-yeon thanked Moon Su-rin for her consideration and sat down on the chair.
She was actually Moon Soo-rin, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, so she thought of doing whatever she wanted to do… I never thought I would receive her consideration like this.

Sitting in her chair, Lee Ho-yeon watched Munsu-rin work.
Although it is a simple paperwork, the movements are neat and restrained.
Her grace as student body president seemed to flow.

Lee Ho-yeon, who was looking at Munsu-rin’s side face, unknowingly scanned her Munsu-rin’s body.
It’s right next to her, so I can barely see her breast bone.
Contrasted with pure white skin, the black valley with no end in sight.
I want to put my hand in her.

Is it okay for the student council president to wear such a lewd outfit?
Of course, no one can see the student council president’s chest from this close range, but…. Still, there is something to be said.

“What’s the matter?”
“Yes? What is it?”
“I thought you were looking this way. I must have been mistaken.”

Moon Soo-rin, who tilted her head, turned her head back and focused on her work.

‘… As expected, my older sister has a good feeling.’

Lee Ho-yeon, who even accelerated and turned his head, sat down in a chair in embarrassment.
You stare at me so intently that you can see my eyes. It’s too embarrassing.
It’s because I think all this is useless.

“Sister, is it okay if I talk to you?”
“If you’re bored? But shouldn’t you take a break? Thank you for coming.”
“It’s not that much. Well, that’s right. The chairman sent me a message saying thank you…”

It didn’t hurt that much, so I could do this much.
Lee Ho-yeon started a small talk with Moon Su-rin, who was doing paperwork, and it didn’t take long for laughter to flow from the student council president’s office.
