Chapter 562 – Chapter 562. Iris Guild

Lee Ho-yeon, who entered the room, stretched and sat down at the desk.
He teased Rebecca and her body came alive.
That’s enough to make his head spin.

Widely-
Click. Click.

I sat down at my desk, opened my notebook, and clicked my ballpoint pen.
Hoyeon Lee’s only good habit was to sit at her desk and sort out important things when she didn’t know what to do right away.

“…But what should I do now?”

It is not that there is nothing to do.
I have so much to do, I don’t know what to do.

Creaking.

– Magic research. What was used in Imsol and Dalian?
Get stronger!

Write down whatever comes to your mind right now in a notebook.

Lee Ho-yeon killed Lucifer, the demon king of the original work, a while ago.
In the process, he realized a new magic and Lee Ho-yeon’s level rose several steps.
However, the flow of the battle was a mess compared to the results that exceeded expectations.

‘I have to become even stronger.’

Squeak-

A magic circle appears on Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.
Suddenly, his eyes were shining with a brilliant golden light.

‘Open eyes, heart.’

As soon as he activates the opening of his eyes, the composition of the magic circle naturally enters Lee Ho-yeon’s head.
After erasing the magic circle with a light gesture, Lee Ho-yeon pondered with her arms crossed.

“If you look at it this way, it’s just like a dog’s eye.”

──『Opening eyes』 ──
▶ Unique skill

▶ Concentrates mana on the eyes to maximize eyesight.
The ability to recognize and discriminate beings or forms imbued with mana is maximized.
───────

──『 Open eyes. Heart』 ──
▶ Unique skill

▶ Lee Ho-yeon can understand everything about mana the moment he wants.
Realize the principle of all things and surpass the level of mana.
───────

“There are a lot of words written that seem to have something.”

The awakening of the open eyes was a great turning point in the battle with Lucifer.
It was because he had succeeded in retrieving the magic circle by squeezing through Lucifer’s gap, who was using more quality mana than himself.

“Now that I think about it… I won too hand-to-hand.”

It is fortunate that good results came out, but now Lee Ho-yeon can also look at the situation objectively.
Coincidence coincided, and Lucifer’s personality and the circumstances of the surrounding heroes. Until Lee Ho-yeon’s awakening.
It was really great luck.
If only one place was off, Lee Ho-yeon or the heroines might have died.

“There’s no guarantee that you’ll have this kind of luck again.”

Just because you’ve won like this a few times now, there’s no guarantee you’ll do it again.
If you fall down in the battle with the most important demon king, everything you have done so far will be useless.

Creaking.

– Perfect preparation is required to kill the demon king… New magic?

A peculiar phenomenon that occurred in the sparring with Im Sol. It’s worth researching again.
Since Lee Ho-yeon has the ability to supplement her memory, she can embody the same sense of that time.

Creaking.

– Congestion of black pillars and dungeons.

The next thing to think about is an anomaly that has appeared in the world.
Because of attacking heroines and preparing fake dungeons, he couldn’t pay attention to the most important things.

“It’s confirmed that the pandemic and the maestro are connected.”

Lee Ho-yeon does not know what process is necessary for the demon king to descend into this world.
What is certain is that the black pillar does not exist in the original work. There was something similar to the runaway phenomenon in the dungeon, but this too was much faster.
In other words, it is the butterfly effect caused by Lee Ho-yeon.

“As the dungeon runs rampant, it creates an environment similar to hell and slowly assimilates to the earth… Then what’s the role of the black pillar?”

Lee Ho-yeon frowned and waved her ballpoint around. Although we don’t know the role of those things, we can know why the butterfly effect was created.
It must be because he has become much stronger and has prevented the pandemic so well.
The fairy tale work was much faster than in the original work.

‘The god of this world intervened.’

The god of betting possessed by the demon lord.
He is controlling this situation.
Seeing him intervene like this, he probably didn’t want to lose a bet he’d always won.

“There are too many things that cannot be explained otherwise.”

Creaking.

– People’s perceptions have changed…

Lee Ho-yeon continued to think deeply about the black pillar and the runaway phenomenon of the dungeon.
As Im Sol said, it is certainly strange that people are ignorant of the magic of hell.
It’s something that can’t happen unless it’s a gigantic manipulation to the extent of changing perception.

“No matter how much I think about it, only God can do such a thing.”

But, how did you do it? It’s not a fair bet at all.
The words of the betting god still remain in Lee Ho-yeon’s memory. Was what he said then a lie?

‘… It’s funny how he dares to appear in front of me and lie to me.’

If people’s perception of the magic of hell has changed, there is something else that bothers me about it.

Guys from hell in the French Iris Guild.
Centaur Chiron and Incubus Albedo are also problematic.
They say they are nice now, but the magic they use is that of hell.

… Then, why didn’t the Iris Guild investigate the magic of hell?

“Ai-san. It’s difficult. I’m going to die.”

Intricately tangled events fill Lee Ho-yeon’s head.
However, no definite answer was forthcoming.
At that time, the red-haired beauty who had just been teasing passed through Lee Ho-yeon’s mind.

“Wait a minute. Rebecca is there too.”

Rebecca, like her imsol, has been through the spells of her own hell.
She said that she also studied hell magic after the sparring.

Bang-!

As soon as he thought about it, Lee Ho-yeon spurred through the door and shouted at Rebecca, who was sitting at her table.

“Miss Rebecca!”
“Ah! It’s a surprise. What’s wrong? You spilled coffee. Baby daddy.”

Rebecca, who was holding a coffee cup, was embarrassed to see Lee Ho-yeon who suddenly jumped out.
What is so urgent?

“You told me the other day that you lost in Dalian and studied the magic of hell. Please tell me more about what happened then.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who came out of the room, immediately sat down across the table and opened his mouth.

“Why is that all of a sudden?
“No?”
“It’s not impossible, but… Yes. I get it.”
“OK.”

Rebecca nodded her head involuntarily at Lee Ho-yeon’s momentum.
I don’t know why, but it seems urgent.
After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“Hmm. Where should I start talking about it. But even if you ask me to elaborate, I can’t tell you anything. I just started training after losing to the baby’s father. … Are you doing this to make me admit defeat with my own mouth? It’s a little strange that there is.”
“No, no. What are you talking about? It’s just because I need it for my magic research.”

Watching Lee Ho-yeon shake her head in embarrassment, Rebecca gently raised the corner of her mouth.
I’m sure he was a person whose self-esteem fell to the bottom until yesterday, but I couldn’t figure out why he changed like that, but I feel better myself for no reason.

“I don’t know about the magic research, but the baby daddy seems to be in a good mood, so I feel good too. As her wife, I was sad that I couldn’t take care of her husband’s mental care. I’m glad.”

Rebecca gently held Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.
At the sight of Rebecca naturally holding her hand while saying embarrassing words to her, Lee Ho-yeon’s heart skipped a beat.
Her smiling face was so lovely that she wanted to hug her to her bed right away, but Lee Ho-yeon exercised her patience and took her Rebecca’s hand.

“… Thank you, Rebecca. Then, didn’t you have anything in particular bothered you?
“Well… Of course there was. It was similar to the magic that Liliana uses. But I thought she was the baby’s father’s secret weapon.”
“Aha…”

Hoyeon Lee nodded her head.
It must have been the difference between Imsol and Rebecca’s attitude toward magic.
Professor Im Sol risked his life in magic with the best talent. So, any discrepancies can be identified right away.
Rebecca works hard too, but she doesn’t have a passion for magic, consuming her food and drinks for a week.

‘So you’re saying other people are in this condition too? How twisted it is.’

If a wizard like Rebecca didn’t notice the strangeness, it’s safe to say that everyone else didn’t.
He would have to go to the Iris Guild to find out, but even this much information was valuable.

“Thank you, Rebecca. You’ve been very helpful.”
“Really? It’s nothing like this. Thankfully.”

I didn’t say anything, but Rebecca was also happy to see her so happy.
I haven’t been successful lately, but today I succeeded in helping her husband.

“Then I’ll go again.”
“Already? Are you leaving after finishing your business?”
“I’m sorry. I have quite a lot to do.”
“Don’t do it alone, let me know. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll help.”
“… I see. Why did you try to do it alone?”

I always hid something from the heroines and dealt with it alone, so it became a habit to handle these things alone.
If it’s Rebecca, she can get some help.

“Actually, I’m researching the magic of hell. You know the magic of hell that comes out of the black pillar, right? It’s similar to the magic of hell I spread, but no one feels suspicious.”
“Magic power coming from the black pillar… That’s right. I think Scarlett talked about it.”
“Scarlett noticed it too. Anyway, it’s clear that the Black Pillar is Lucifer’s or Pandemic’s operation, but no one reacts. I’m going to take the lead.”
“Baby daddy. Today, world peace is like an apostle of justice.”
“If you don’t know, I’ve always been on the move for the world.”
“Yes, yes. That’s great, my baby’s father.”

Seeing him smiling kindly and patting his hair, I don’t think he believes it.
Too bad.

“I’m thinking of contacting the Iris Guild first. Then I’ll contact the American Wizards Association.”
“… What is it? Why is the scale so big? Can it be the guardian of the real world? Why is the baby’s father doing such a thing?”
“There’s no such thing. Those who can do it do it. Then, would you like to go to the Iris Guild with Rebecca?”
“I want to help, but… I don’t like the guild leader there.”
“… That’s right. You were talking to that old man, Rebecca, right?”
“Baby daddy. I’m scared. Don’t be angry.”

Write. Lee Ho-yeon relaxed her expression and controlled her emotions.
If it wasn’t for Alice’s parents, it would have been a blast.

‘Is not it? You know my relationship with Alice, so there’s no need to make them scratch.’

Let’s skip this one in particular.
Just make sure you don’t meet Rebecca in the future.

“Anyway, Rebecca-san, please help Professor Imsol. Because you are in contact with the Wizards Association.”
“Yes. I think so. I’ll try to contact you.”
“Good. Very good.”

After laughing and rubbing Rebecca’s shoulders, Lee Ho-yeon headed back to the room.
She had a little chat with Rebecca and it cleared her head.
Lee Ho-yeon, who picked up the pen again, stared at the notebook and pondered.

“When should I go to the Iris Guild? I want to go as soon as possible.”

Creaking.

– Chiron, Albedo…

“I’m sure you said that Alice is a group of people who use strange magical powers.”

What Elise said as she passed by.
Like Rebecca, she probably didn’t notice her strangeness.
“Tsk. Let’s go and think about this. I have to stop by the Iris Guild anyway.”

Come to think of it, why are Alice and Irene still not in touch?
Just in case, I checked my smartwatch once again, but there was only Lee Ho-yeon’s message, and there was no reply from the two.

“… What if the sisters get caught diving together?”

It could be said that it could be done by breaking into the house right next door, but since I didn’t know their condition, it was a burden to contact them first.

“I’ll have to send you a message again.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who sent a message to Alice and Irene, licked her lips and touched her smart watch without a reply.
