Chapter 523 – Chapter 523. Spilled Water

Haha…”

Nam Da-eun lay face down on the bed and her body trembled.
Her night with Lee Ho-yeon gave her great satisfaction and, as always, drained her spirits.

“You worked hard. Daeun-ah. Let’s sleep together. Come here.”
“… Yes.”

Lee Ho-yeon stroked Nam Da-eun’s back, and Nam Da-eun avoided her eyes and embraced Lee Ho-yeon in her arms.
Before her sex, she had no shame because of her rushing sexuality, but after it was over, she was belatedly driven by her shame.

‘Did you say this was wiser time?’

Nam Da-eun embraced Lee Ho-yeon, recalling the words she had learned from Liliana the other day.

“…”

Lee Ho-yeon swallowed her saliva while looking at Nam Da-eun.
The sex was good, but now it was so cute to be ashamed.

Her bitch who coveted her own semen until now came back to Nam Da-eun.
The gap was so bad that I wanted to do it again.

“…Do you want to do it one more time?”
“Huh…? Hoyeonah?”
“I can’t do it. Let’s really do it one more time.”
“Ah, I can’t… I’m sure it was like this last time, too…”

Nam Da-eun finally pushed Lee Ho-yeon away, but she couldn’t stop Lee Ho-yeon, who had already turned on her switch.
Lee Ho-yeon pressed her face into Nam Da-eun’s chest.

“Heh, heuh, ah, ah, ah… Hoyeonah, ah, no. The academy is tomorrow…”
“You can sleep for hours if you do it once. I’m sorry.”
“Uh, then just once…”

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Nam Da-eun realized that she was in trouble again.
However… She didn’t hate it either.

*

Morning a little later than usual.
Nam Da-eun stretched her body and yawned as she prepared for her return to the academy.

“I’m tired. Ugh, keuheueuss.”
“Sorry….”

Ho-yeon Lee felt sorry for Da-eun Nam as she took care of her clothes with a tired expression on her face.
I was thinking of doing it just once… She didn’t have it on her own.
Eventually, the two barely fell asleep at dawn.

“… It’s okay. I couldn’t control myself either.”
“It’s my fault. I won’t do this for real next time.”

Nam Da-eun smiled at Lee Ho-yeon as she lowered her head.
Laughter came out at the completely different appearance from last night’s beastly appearance.

“Thank you. I don’t think it’s too late, so I’ll go quickly. Hoyeon is resting until this week, right?”
“Yeah. But no matter how much I think about it, I’m sorry. I’ll take you to the academy. Let’s go together.”
“No. Dahee is also waiting outside, so you can go with Dahee. I’m sorry I couldn’t prepare breakfast for you. I’ll go first.”
“… I understand. Be careful and go. Da-eun.”

Lee Ho-yeon staggered to see Da-eun Nam off to her academy.
We had fun together last night, but seeing you go to the academy alone like that makes me feel guilty.

‘I was the only one who enjoyed pleasure without responsibility.’

Even when she belatedly looked at Nam Da-eun with an apologetic expression, she had already left.
She even said that she was sorry that she couldn’t cook breakfast, so she felt weird because she felt like a real badass.

“…Why did you wake up late?”
“Originally, I did a lot of fun things late at night.”

Lee Ho-yeon approached Liliana, who was sitting at her table, and she took a seat next to him.
Liliana looked extremely tired as well.
Still, the tension seemed a bit low yesterday, but it was like Liliana that she recovered in one day.

Yum Yum.

Liliana dabbed the jam on her slice of bread and brought it to her mouth.
It looked delicious, so when she put her hand on her slice of bread, Liliana used her wrist snap to slap Lee Ho-yeon on the back of her hand.

“It hurts! Hey, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Why is that! Because of you, I can’t eat breakfast and eat bread!”
“Why is it because of me?”
“There’s no use hiding it from a succubus.”
“…”

After hearing Liliana’s words, Lee Ho-yeon finally understood the series of conversations.
It made Nam Da-eun tired so she rushed to school and couldn’t make breakfast, and thanks to that, Liliana is eating her bread for breakfast.

‘I understand, but….’

No, it’s a bit unfair that I still can’t eat bread.
Are you not even in that position at home?

‘If anyone sees me, they’ll know I’m a eater. This is my home.’

If I had to insist, the diners were Liliana.
The time when Lee Ho-yeon tried to take the bread by force out of resentment.

“Don’t be angry and have a cup of tea.”

Scarlett, with a calm voice, served tea and cookies.
Lee Ho-yeon, who lost his temper after seeing the freshly baked chocolate cookie, quietly picked it up and ate it.

“Scarlett, how about Rebecca?”
“He said he had business to take care of today. He said it was his day job.”
“Aha. Scarlett, are you taking a break?”
“Yes. I don’t have any plans today.”
“I want to eat cookies too.”
“Why don’t you eat some bread?”
“The man sucks.”
“It’s true. It’s really absurd.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled and passed the cookie to Liliana.
Laughing, Liliana picked up her cookie and nodded her head in satisfaction.

“I’ll drop what I just said. Thank you.”
“It’s nice to see you in the morning.”

Scarlett sipped warm black coffee and sat across from Hoyeon Lee.

‘Hmm….’

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Scarlett and blinked her eyes.
He has a calm expression as usual, but after hearing the secret from Nam Da-eun yesterday, he is somewhat suspicious.
A native of the Iris Guild, Scarlett is used to managing emotions.
Maybe she has something important that only she knows.

“Did you put anything on my face?”
“… No, because it looks pretty today.”
“Thank you. Are you serving me in advance because it’s my turn today?”

Seeing Scarlett smiling as if she was feeling good inside, Hoyeon Lee checked Scarlett’s status window.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Scarlett]

– [ Affinity : 100 ] ( + 1.3)
– [ Sex drive : 75 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue : 60 ]

Current status: Irene isn’t calling today, so I guess I’ll have to rest at home. But why is this person suddenly like this?

… Are you too suspicious?
Lee Ho-yeon drank the tea Scarlett brought and closed her status window.
Fortunately, nothing as strange as I could have imagined happened.

‘I wonder how many conversations we’ve had with each other….’

It doesn’t sound like a big deal from Nam Da-eun, but it’s clear that they shared information with each other.
In addition, the word curse came out.
The fact that everyone shared what only Ellis knew meant that the time had come for her own cheating to be questioned.

‘But it’s dangerous to dig more right away.’

You don’t have to do anything suspicious right now.
What Lee Ho-yeon needs to do is to restore the original work as quickly as possible.
After that, she doesn’t mind being suspicious.

‘First… The fake dungeon magic circle must be stopped.’

Even if I have to try again later, I have to retrieve the magic circle now.
The fake dungeon magic circle is a plan to increase affection for Lee Ho-yeon by creating a crisis situation so that the heroines do not notice.
From the moment the women noticed, it would be correct to say that the plan went through the water.

Besides, a lot changed while preparing the plan.
Surrounding situation. And Lee Ho-yeon’s mindset.

Lee Ho-yeon now had a powerful enemy named Lucifer, but her head was in a state where she could think a little more calmly.

‘Then I’ll have to rethink everything…’ My head hurts.’

Let’s think about it after discarding the magic circle for now.
Whether you get on your knees and confess the truth, or plan something else.
The most important thing is not to get caught.

Lee Ho-yeon put her cookie into her mouth and her waguwagu.
Liliana slapped her on the shoulder to take her own cookie away, but she didn’t mind.

“Do you have any concerns? You don’t look good.”
“… No, it’s just morning.”
“It must be because yesterday was so violent. Da-eun’s expression was not good.”
“Noisy.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who had criticized Liliana, sighed deeply at her.
Liliana, who was melancholic yesterday, was rather cute, but today she’s become like that again.

“Keuheum. I’m going out for a while. Everyone is taking a break today, right?”
“I think so.”
“I’m going to broadcast.”
“Okay. I have something to do, so I’ll have to get ready to go out soon.”

Lee Ho-yeon ate all the remaining cookies and poured his tea into his mouth.
With nothing to do, I thought of going to Victoria Park right away.

“Where are you going in the morning?”
“I’m going to do some magic research after a long time.”

As always, Lee Ho-yeon, who answered Liliana with the excuse of studying magic, got up from the table and put on her clothes.

‘Come to think of it, what does Victoria Park look like now?’

I hadn’t been there since Lucifer’s attack, so I was curious about the current state.
What if I got a curfew?
Sneaking in is a very annoying thing.

Lee Ho-yeon hoped that nothing would bother him, and he slipped out of the house.
We arrived at Victoria Park right away, and Lee Ho-yeon immediately frowned.

“I’ve never had a bad feeling.”

Inside the park, numerous hunters were busy moving and examining the park.
The mark on the clothes is the mark of the Hunter Association.
It seems that authority has already been transferred from the Iris Guild to the Association.

“Yes. It must be strange to think that there will be nothing like that.”

When the Iris Guild was in charge, it was easy to enter and exit, but if the Hunter Association was in charge, it was different.

Of course, if it’s the name of Lee Ho-yeon, you can enter.
However, like the Iris Guild, the procedure could not be omitted.
First, you must name Lee Ho-yeon, reveal her identity, and then tell her the purpose of her entry.
After that, if you cooperate with the Hunter Association and enter Victoria Park, it will be difficult to achieve your goal.

‘I’d rather sneak in.’

She was confident that if she was at Lee Ho-yeon’s level anyway, she would never be caught.
Of course, it may happen with a very low probability, but it is safe to say that it is rare.

“Yes?”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was going to the corner to use the rune’s barrier, found a woman standing near the entrance.
She was a familiar face that I had seen many times before.
It was Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, the head of the Iris Guild’s Korean branch.

‘Why is that person here?’

Lee Ho-yeon approached Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, whom she had been seeing for a long time, to greet her.

“Dr. Kang Hyo-rin. What are you doing here?”
“Huh? Cadet Hoenn. It’s been a while.”
“Yes. But why is the Korean branch manager standing here?”

Dr. Hyorin Kang stood at her entrance like a gatekeeper.
Her heart ached as she remembered the Iris guild member she had become close with in the past.

“Ah, since it’s the Iris Guild’s business, the Iris Guild is the main axis of the investigation.”
“Really? On the outside, there are only Hunter Association people.”
“There are Iris guild members inside. Oh, I, the head of the Korean branch, was called too, but I found the easiest job among them.”
“…”

Why is this guy smiling proudly for not working?
Is it really right for a person like this to be the head of the Korean branch?
Dr. Hyo-rin Kang looked at Ho-yeon Lee and tilted her head.

“By the way, what about Cadet Hoenn? I don’t think I have good memories here.”
“Ah… I was just passing through.”
“Umm. I see.”
“…Can I help you with something? I’ve been to Victoria Park often.”

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Dr. Kang Hyo-rin’s expression and brought out the excuse she had just come up with.

‘This could just go in.’

Of course, it is better to enter formally than to sneak in.
And it didn’t seem difficult to coax Dr. Kang Hyo-rin.
