Chapter 549 – Chapter 549. Confession (3)

“It’s not just Rebecca. Liliana. Daeeun. Scarlett. … And the other women were the targets.”

Lee Ho-yeon spoke calmly.
Even now, apologizing to the heroines, I cannot express the feelings I felt while making the fake dungeon magic circle.
Back then, she thought it was inevitable to trick the heroines in order to create a harem.
That’s why she created a fake dungeon.

Was she crazy about herself?
Is it because of the strong mentality?
Or she’s just a bad baby from birth.

I still don’t know.
However, whatever the cause, Lee Ho-yeon made the choice, and she knew that choice was wrong.
Since she has done a terrible thing, she has to reflect and apologize herself.
Reflection has done enough fighting Lucifer, so she must apologize too.

“They say the target was the women who had a deep relationship with Hoyeon. Everyone else is just cheating.”
“Right.”

Scarlett, who was quietly drinking coffee without interfering in the conversation, helped out with a word.

“… Even if I know the target, I can’t understand it. What did you try to do by kidnapping us like that?”

Scarlett has a keen eye for her. Of course she knew that Lee Ho-yeon had a secret about her.
Liliana’s guess was wrong, too, and he quickly noticed by Lee Ho-yeon’s behavior.
However, even Scarlett couldn’t understand the cause of Lee Ho-yeon’s terror.

“That’s right. Scarlett. Actually, I don’t know either. At first, I just wanted to show off to everyone by using dungeons. From a certain point on, I started to rely on fake dungeons. I thought that just making them would solve all of this.”

The frustrating situation made Lee Ho-yeon’s heart impatient.
At some point, she came to think that creating a fake dungeon itself was an important task.

“I’m not sure what you mean. Is this a bunch of your girlfriends?”
“Right.”
“Maybe it was a plan to win the favor of women by breaking through the dungeon’s traps in a cool way or creating a crisis?”
“Yeah. It was very stupid.”
“How did you come up with such a stupid idea… No, this was a little too much. How could you have such a stupid idea?”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled bitterly at Scarlett’s words.

“I felt like I was cornered… I felt like I had to do something. I’m sorry.”
“Then the reason why the baby’s father made the magic circle was to seduce us more clearly.”
“…”

Rebecca nodded her head even after hearing Lee Ho-yeon’s words and brought out her strange words.
It’s kind of funny when you express it like that.
Should I say I’m lucky? The heroines living together at Lee Ho-yeon’s house have generous thoughts about the harem, just like Rebecca.
So I was able to talk a little bit more comfortably.

“How did that magic circle get stolen? I and the baby’s dad made it, so the security must have been great.”
“Well, I found out during disassembly that I was robbed too.”
“Dismantling? A magic circle?”
“Yes… I thought this wasn’t the case, so I tried to dismantle the magic circle.”
“But you repented in the end.”
“Don’t say that. I’m comfortable just calling him a bad guy.”
“Didn’t I tell you that the baby’s daddy isn’t a bad guy? He complimented me because he would be more uncomfortable with compliments.”
“…”

Lee Ho-yeon quietly lowered his head.
Okay. It’s only natural that you feel uncomfortable because you’ve decided to apologize.

“I understand that Lee Ho-yeon did something stupid. But why are you suddenly saying this? If I stayed still, everyone would have gone quietly. Are you stupid?”
“… It’s late, but I wanted to apologize. I’m sorry if I was embarrassed by the suddenness.”
“Right. How worried I was. You devil! If it wasn’t for Lucifer, he wouldn’t have been fake worried!”
“It’s a relief that Lucifer stole the magic circle. It’s a shame because it was a real crisis. I worried about everything, but it turns out that if it was a fake, I’d be really angry.”

Rebecca may be right.
Since Lee Ho-yeon himself fought to the death, there was less resistance from the heroines.

“I’m still angry. You two seem so nice.”

After hearing Rebecca and Liliana’s words, Scarlett shook her head and immediately continued.

“…Hoyeon-nim.
“Ah. Please don’t hang up on me!”
“Baby daddy. We’re a close couple. We haven’t had any children yet.”
“… I don’t mean to. I’m sorry Scarlett. That sounds a bit difficult.”
“But didn’t you intend to tell the other women the truth about the dungeon?”
“Perhaps… It is.”

Even if she didn’t bother talking about the fake dungeon, she was going to tell all the heroines that she had relationships with several women.
If he didn’t confess it, Lee Ho-yeon’s heart would be very frustrated.

“No matter how kind the women around Hoyeon-nim are, how many people are disappointed enough to reconsider their relationship with Hoyeon-sama?”
“… Well, then I’ll do my best to change my mind.”
“Responding to the trash topic seems like a genuine man.”

Lee Ho-yeon let out a deep sigh.
Actually I don’t know.
Since all the heroines had high likability, the possibility of a good outcome was quite high.
If bad results come out, I will have to do anything to change my mind.

Tight.

At that time, something warm and soft wrapped around Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.
When she turned her head, she saw Nam Da-eun, who had been quiet.

“Hoyeon-ah. I don’t know… Isn’t it because of a curse on you that you acted like that?
“…It didn’t matter. It was simply my thinking.”

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Nam Da-eun, who carefully held her own hand, and she thought.

Curse.
Everyone seemed to have heard about the curse from Elise.
It’s not exactly a curse, but… In a way, it could be described as a curse.
Because if you don’t clear the main quest, everyone will die in the end.

You could say Hoyeon Lee’s actions were due to the pressure of her main quest, but this is not a game.
Even if you defeat the demon king and clear the main quest, ‘everyone lived happily’. Everything is not over with a simple statement.

– Hoyeon is mine!
– This, this stray cat! At there!
– Please stop fighting!

~END~

You can’t be persuaded with the same crappy ending credits.
Reality requires tangible results.

‘In the first place, the first button was wrong.’

I should have convinced them one by one from the beginning, but it was my fault for trying to do it all at once.
Confessing in front of everyone is stupid when you think about it now.
No one wants an apology like that.

“I’m really sorry if I’m late. Originally, I was going to say it when we were all together, but no matter how much I think about it, that’s a bit…”
“If that was what you wanted to say in the dungeon, you did well not to say it.”

Scarlett nodded her head.
I’m angry, but it’s a good choice not to say it there. I can’t even imagine what kind of disaster it would have been if this ignorant man had made a bombshell statement there.

“I’m sorry. Da-eun too. Thank you for trusting me.”
“Yeah. Hoyeon is a benefactor to me. I will trust her no matter what she does.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he hugged Nam Da-eun, who was clinging to him.
Her heart aches for some reason that she tried to deceive Nam Da-eun, who believed in her so much.

“Is it because I knew the truth from the beginning? It’s less shocking.”
“What. Rebecca. If you knew, you should have told me from the beginning!”
“… I said it clearly. But Liliana and you said something strange. Everyone was so caught up in the atmosphere that they couldn’t even remember what I said.”
“Eh. Was it?”

Liliana tilted her head.
Come to think of it, it seems that Rebecca said something about her magic circle.

“Well, since there were people who liked Hoyeon-nim, they must have thought of it positively. But the reality was even more devastating.”
“I’m sorry Scarlett. I’m really reflecting.”
“… Ha. It must be my fault for sitting in this house even though I knew it was garbage.”

Scarlett was still angry, but since the women she lived with wanted Lee Ho-yeon so much, it was strange for her to be angry with Scarlett alone.
Besides, Scarlett knew that Lee Ho-yeon fought harder than anyone else in the battle against Lucifer.
It was an injury that would not be strange even if he died three times.

‘He was a little cool when he saved me from Lucifer.’

If it wasn’t for that, she wouldn’t have been more angry.
Scarlett struggled to keep her firm expression, lowering the corners of her mouth as she tried to rise.

“I don’t know about the magic circle, but I’m glad I caught Lucifer. Anyway, thanks to the magic circle, Lucifer appeared. I really wanted to catch her someday.”
“Thank you, Liliana.”
“And since she met Lucifer, strangely, her magic has returned as well.”

Shu Woo-wook-

Liliana created an orb of magic above her hand and tossed it upward as if she were juggling it, repeating her catch.

“… I see. Let’s find out why later.”

The fact that Liliana’s magical power, which should have been weaker than her own, has become stronger is something she should definitely investigate.
Perhaps her restraint on her has weakened… I’ll have to go see Chiron later.

“Why? Are you busy today?”
“Yes. I have a lot of work to do. I have to leave immediately.”

A massive terrorist attack on the Victoria Academy.
You need to go to the person who is suffering the most from this incident.

*

“As expected, the security team is the problem, right? If it’s security near the park, the rear team… No. The upper water is rotten, so maybe the lower water is also rotten.”

Student President’s Office at Victoria Academy.
As soon as Moon Soo-rin escaped from the fake dungeon, he faced a pile of papers.
The culprit of the fake dungeon was clear, but how he breached the academy’s security was a matter to be found out.

“There’s no day when I’m not busy… I was a victim myself.”

As the student council president, how hard was it to direct the inside of the dungeon and reassure people?
Not to mention the battle with Lucifer. She really was about to die.
Maybe if it wasn’t for Hoyeon, she would have died three times.

Moon Soo-rin shook her head as she looked at the mountain of documents.
She knows what she has to do, and she knows that if it’s not her, she has no one to do it.
But as soon as she gets out of the dungeon, is this amount of work really right for her?

“I can’t help it. Let’s do our best.”

Squeak- squeak-

Moon Soo-rin swallowed her regret and immersed herself in her work.

How many hours have passed
The speed of Munsurin’s work was amazing, but the speed at which work came in was also amazing.
The damage from the fake dungeon was small compared to its scale. The measures after that were not so much a problem, but it was quite difficult to find holes in the investigation and security of the pandemic that instigated Lucifer.

‘I just want to rest and play with Hoyeon….’

Moonsoo Rin stretched her body and pressed her body against her back.
If you focus on your work for too long, your efficiency will decrease.
I should take a break and drink some coffee.

Smart.

“Yeah. Just put it on the desk.”

Moonsoo Rin answered without even looking in the direction of her door.
Will the work increase again?
After hearing it over and over again, I think I know it’s a clerk just by hearing the knock.

“Student President, it’s not an extra job, a guest has come to visit.”
“Guest? Who is it?”

Knock was, as expected, a clerk, but not an extra job.
Was there anyone who would come find you?
The chairman of the board had a schedule as busy as Moon Soo-rin’s, so she wouldn’t have time to visit.

“Chairman. I’m here.”
“Hoyeonah!”

Jump up.

Moon Soo-rin got up from her seat and went to meet Lee Ho-yeon at her door.

“I guess Ho-yeon came! If she had contacted me in advance, she would have prepared something.”
“No. Surin noona. Are you busy right now?”
“I’m not busy at all. I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of Hoyeon right after I came out of the dungeon.”
“I ran away because there were too many reporters. What?”

Actually, I had a lot of worries, so I avoided the seat… At the time, she had made that excuse.
Lee Ho-yeon gave Moon Soo-rin a hug and glanced at her desk.

‘… What do you ask Of course he must be busy.’

Something like that happened at Victoria Academy, and there’s no way that the student council president, Surin Mun, wasn’t busy.
As she skimmed through the titles of the documents, she saw something that seemed familiar to some extent.

– Reorganization of Academy Security Team….
– Follow-up measures and recovery from terrorism….
– Ownership of Mine Lucifer’s body.

“Is there anything you’re curious about? Ah. That’s right. There was a bit of a dispute over the ownership of Lucifer’s body. I insisted that the first person claiming ownership was Hoyeon, so I got it… But do you need it?”
“Ah… Yes. It would be nice to have one. For magic research.”
“Thank God. Then I’ll take care of this too.”

Moon Soo-rin smiled softly.
The old people tried to take possession of it with nonsensical reasons, but it was worth taking it away if Hoyeon wanted it.

“By the way, why did you come to hang out? It would be nice if you came because you wanted to see your sister. Oh, first of all, have a cup of coffee. I was just about to take a break.”
“… Yes.”

Lee Ho-yeon went into the student council president’s office with Moon Soo-rin seeing her off.
