Chapter 569 – Chapter 569. Iris Guild (8)

After finishing the conversation with Irene.
I handed over Lucifer’s corpse and left the 1st team leader’s office.
She was scolded for not taking this out on the floor, but overall things worked out.

‘Because I applied magic to Lucifer’s corpse… You know you’ll be fine.”

Lucifer was injected with plenty of hellish magic.
He needed his own magic to let people know about the awkwardness and danger of hell’s magic.
She could talk about it herself, but the flow of the story would be better if it was contained in Lucifer’s corpse.

“Where is Scarlett?”

The conversation with Irene was quite long, but Scarlett didn’t come to the end.
Are you going around the guild and handing out rice cakes to each department?

Squeak-

The moment I tried to send a call through my smart watch.
Scarlett’s blonde hair appeared from one side of the wall.

“If it were me, I’d be here.”
“My dear, I’m surprised.”

Lee Ho-yeon frowned at Scarlett, who suddenly jumped out.
Why are you hiding here

“What are you doing there?”
“As you can see. I was in hiding. It feels good that I didn’t get caught by Hoenn-sama.”
“Yes. It did get better.”

Scarlett definitely has some decent talent too, seeing as she’s been relaxing but getting out of her senses.
It’s a problem because the surroundings are so monstrous.
Lee Ho-yeon stretched her and approached Scarlett.

“Seeing that he’s quietly hiding, he’s free? There are so many guild members, so I thought they were taking turns saying hello.”
“I wasn’t free. I finished everything and came back, but I was waiting outside because the two of you seemed to be having an important talk.”
“You could have come in. Well, that’s okay. I got a promise to cooperate. Let’s go. Guide me.”
“Where are you talking?”
“I have to go to Korea. It’s a bummer to come here after doing work. Come to think of it, it made no sense from the beginning.”

It’s already dark outside.
It wasn’t early when we left Korea, so everyone must be asleep.
Would it be better to sleep overnight and come early in the morning?

“When the guild leader and Elise come, I have something to say myself, so I just have to say hello.”
“I heard that the guild leader is on a business trip and Lady Elise is on vacation.”
“It looks like that, but it’s similar to training the successor. Anyway, ask Victor to come back just once.”
“Didn’t Victor tell you not to call on holidays?”

Hit. It was.

“…Wouldn’t it be nice if I signed an autograph?”
“It would be easier to just ask the Iris Guild. If you go back right away and open the door, you will find the Iris Guild’s 1st team leader.
“…”

Aside from Scarlett’s way of speaking, Lee Ho-yeon recalled the last image of Irene she saw right before she left the 1st team leader’s office.

As Scarlett said, asking Irene is the easiest way, but Irene has so many things to do right now.
Lee Ho-yeon, who came unexpectedly, revealed that Lucifer’s attack that shook the world was his fault, and requested a reinvestigation of the magic of hell and the black pillar. In addition, he left Lucifer’s body and asked to call the guild leader, who is collecting information from all over the world.
There is even a request from her personally, so Irene has to start doing various other behind-the-scenes work.

Before I left, his hands seemed very busy.

‘… I don’t want to disturb you more.’

All it takes is one word, but Lee Ho-yeon also has a conscience.
It’s a bit like putting more pressure on Irene, who helps her.

“Then let’s take a little break at the dorm and go tomorrow. Irene looks very busy right now.”
“Are you sure you have to go back to Korea? You don’t know when the guild leader and Lady Elise will return. If the Black Pillar is that important to Hoyeon-nim, I think it’s better to wait.”
“But I couldn’t greet you properly. I’m worried.”
“Liliana and Miss Daeun aren’t kids. Neither is Rebecca. They’re certainly not the ones who will be criticized for not being home for a day or so because of work.”
“… It doesn’t.”

Am I making too much of a fuss?
No, maybe the one who doesn’t trust the heroines is himself. If they were in the opposite position, Lee Ho-yeon would gladly allow it, so they would be the same.
Lee Ho-yeon licked her lips and picked up her smart watch.

“Okay. Scarlett, I’ll just send you a message.”
“That’s a good idea. I said that men naturally prioritize work over family.”
“Who is it?”
“Rebecca said so.”
“…”

Ignoring Scarlett’s words, Lee Ho-yeon left her a message with her smart watch.
It was a call that I was a little late due to work.

“Scarlett. Let’s go to the inn. Guide me. They say it’s VIP 301.”
“Okay. Are you sharing the same room as me?”
“No, you are room 302.”
“Sheesh.”

Why are you regretting that you just broke it?
I don’t know which tune to go with.

“I will guide you to your accommodation.”
“Yes. Take the lead. Should I say hello to the guild members on the way?”
“You don’t have to worry, everyone has already gone to do their jobs.”
“Tsk. Too bad.”

Please take good care of Scarlett to the guild members. How funny would Scarlett’s reaction be when you say hello?
I’m sincerely sorry.
Lee Ho-yeon walked slowly behind Scarlett.

“After all, there is a lot of money and you have to see it.”

After all, the Iris Guild.
I am not ashamed of being called a VIP room.
When the heroines and Lee Ho-yeon went in together, washed their bodies in a bathtub large enough to hold a judicial training, and lay down on the bed, there was no separate heaven.

“Let’s go in every day after a long time.”

Everyday, Victoria Academy’s community.
I looked into it often in the past, but I couldn’t properly confirm if it was because my life was so devastated these days.
Still, this is faster than the news to figure out an issue.
Victoria Academy cadets in particular are sensitive to information.

– The Victoria Academy that overcame Lucifer’s attack. After that?
-Student President Moon Su-rin. What she did in 24 hours.
– ‘You saved the academy again?’ Lee Ho-yeon, the fatal man. Standing in the middle of the dungeon
– The reason why there are no deaths in the unprecedented situation. Leadership lecture by Chairman Moon Jae-chul.

“It’s still here.”

The news tab was nothing special.
I can’t be of any help because there are only articles that have gathered information I’ve heard at least once.
In particular, just looking at the highest number of views of Mun Su-rin in plain clothes and the article about homme fatale Lee Ho-yeon, the credibility of this place is low.

———————

[Who knows when the academy will be normalized… ?]

To be honest, I don’t have any scars, and the people around me only have minor abrasions… It is very difficult because all the facilities are not operating.

Likes: 120 Dislikes: 80

[Admittedly, what are you doing blocking the training room?]

[It seems like such a selfish idea. My acquaintance is still in the hospital due to trauma]

[ㄴ That’s because your friend is weak ㅋ]

[Why do you say that? I’m not crazy, this is]

“The academy has a lot of problems too.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who watched the cadets of Victoria Academy, who will lead Korea’s future, fight with each other, ended her Everyday.
It would be natural for the academy to cease functioning.
It is said that there are no deaths, but just because you didn’t die, you can’t turn everything back to normal overnight.

Tsk.

Lee Ho-yeon, who clicked her tongue, turned off her smart watch and closed her eyes.
She was late and she didn’t reply to messages that everyone was asleep.

“…”

But she can’t sleep.
She should have been asleep by the time it was already, so it wouldn’t be because of the jet lag.
Did I just miss the time to sleep?
Lee Ho-yeon woke up from bed with one eye on her horse poop.

She said, “She doesn’t know how long it will be before Elise arrives, and she… Has plenty of time.”

She honestly doesn’t know why it’s taking so long to get back.
Where the hell are you gathering information from?

‘Am I just not being contacted?’

To focus on information gathering?
Or to leave no trace?

I don’t even know how to think
I’ll ask Alice later.

“I’d like to have some personal time.”

There are not one or two problems surrounding Lee Ho-yeon, but the most important of them is magic after all.
After killing Lucifer, the only thing left is the demon king.
Magic is the only weapon to capture that offspring.

The unusual sensation I felt during the sparring with Im Sol.
Lee Ho-yeon recalled that feeling in her.

‘Of course it’s worth studying, but… That’s not enough.’

More powerful magic is needed.
But you can’t just be strong.
New, unimagined, groundbreaking.
I needed that kind of magic.
Because Lee Ho-yeon’s opponent was a god.

“I should sit down and do some research.”

I know it’s not a good habit to stay up all night studying and then fall asleep during the day, but… I didn’t sleep particularly well today.
Maybe it’s because I’m not used to the bed and I sleep alone.

‘Should I bring Scarlett and sleep?’

I’d be able to fall asleep just by cuddling and sleeping.

“Drink a glass of water… If you still can’t sleep, let’s try some magic.”

Kiik-

Lee Ho-yeon came out to the living room to drink water.
And.
Scarlett, with her hair down, found herself clinging to the ceiling like a spider.

“Aaaaagh!”
“… Kyaaak!”

Fault-!

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon saw Scarlett, she screamed, and Scarlett landed lightly on the floor as soon as their eyes met.
Then he narrowed his eyes and put his hand on his waist.

“What the hell. Why do you suddenly startle people by screaming? Why the hell? Why?”
“You! Why are you crawling on the ceiling? I’m surprised.”
“This is the most efficient infiltration posture. It is the most confident infiltration posture that can reduce friction with the air while being a blind spot.”

Seeing that posture and hearing the explanation reminds me of the past.
When I first met Scarlett. It clung to the ceiling like a spider and caught what was approaching.
How surprised she was to find out she was a spider-man.

… Come to think of it, I would have told you not to be so clear.

“Didn’t I tell you not to do that? It’s a posture that doesn’t match your appearance. Every time I see it, my heart pounds.”
“Thank you for the compliment, but he clearly told me not to do it at home.”
“… Is it?”

Looking back, I think it was.
Awesome.
Lee Ho-yeon, who ate his tongue, sat down on the chair watching Scarlett fixing her clothes.
His heart seems to calm down a bit now. She must be surprised at what this is, but she has to see the scene where Beauty climbs her ceiling in a spider position to really understand the horror.

“Ha. So why did you sneak into my room?”
“Since Hoyeon-nim can’t seem to fall asleep, she was going to attend the night.”
“…Your way of speaking is starting to resemble Liliana. And if you want to attend the night, you can just come. Why are you going undercover?”
“That’s because we don’t want others to find out. Are you planning to brag about our annexation to the Iris Guild?”
“No, if you just walk in after sneaking into the room… Ha, that’s it.”

It doesn’t matter whether the news of the merger spreads to the Iris Guild or not, and I’m curious as to why he maintains that spider posture in the living room, but let’s stop.
Seeing that he is doing that, it must be because he is really confident in that bizarre posture.

“Still, it’s been a while since I’ve been doing that, so it reminds me of the first time I saw it.”
“It’s not a good memory.”
“Why. You fell in love with Liliana.”
“… I can’t remember.”

Scarlett poured water into a glass, avoiding Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes.
And quietly, he held out his glass.

“How did you know you were thirsty?”
“I know when I see it.”
“Thank you. Come to think of it, I was a bit stupid back then. No, it was a cute image. Why did it become like this now?”

Sniffling.

She drank her water with one hand and lifted her other hand up and she pinched Scarlett’s cheek lightly.
Immediately, her eyes narrow.

It’s definitely different from the first meeting with Liliana, when she roared while stuck in her tail.

“What does that mean?”
“Don’t you remember? Living in captivity with Liliana and me was so much fun. Oh, of course I think Scarlett is cool now.”

It wasn’t such a sharp image back then.
Little by little, I came to my senses, and at some point it changed like this.

“I said I don’t remember.”
“Why? It’s not a bad memory. Rather, it’s a pleasant memory.”
“Not even an animal would do that laughing and talking about the memory of being scammed with a ridiculous contract.”
“While you liked it too.”

Hit. Looking at her water cup reminds me of the medicine that Baek Ah-yeong gave me.
Lee Ho-yeon took out the medicine bag he had put in the subspace and poured a dose into his mouth.

Gulp. Gulp.

Scarlett, who had been listening to Lee Ho-yeon’s teasing, changed her subject because she wanted everything at this time.

“… What is that? Are you taking stamina pills?”
“It’s not a stamina pill, but I don’t know what it is. It’s the medicine Ah-yeong gave me, but it must be something like a multivitamin. If you take it, you’ll feel better.”
“I don’t think a saintess will prescribe multivitamins…

Saint Baek Ah-yeong doesn’t have time to do that.
Still, she wouldn’t have given anything that would harm Lee Ho-yeon’s body.
Scarlett naturally brought up another story.

“Come to think of it, Liliana-sama has been paying a lot of attention to her health lately. She’s taking 3 bottles of vitamin 300 a day.”
“Liliana? No, she shouldn’t be eating it like that. Every time she goes to the bathroom, she’ll be amazed at the color.”
“Because you’re not going to listen to what I’m saying.”
“Why is he not growing up? Isn’t he becoming a strong teenager? I’m worried.”

It was natural. You just have to mix it like this until it goes well.
Scarlett continued, she was internally pleased that the conversation had changed.
