Chapter 578 – Chapter 578. Isaac, Emperor of the Night (6)

“What’s going on? It’s coming all of a sudden.”
“I just came to play. Can’t I?”

Lee Ho-yeon naturally entered the team leader’s room, and Irene only then discovered the wine in his hand.

Chateau Dichem.

This is Alice’s favorite wine.
Irene also drinks often, but she only drinks because Elise likes it, which she doesn’t like.

“It’s office hours now.”

She had been thinking about Lee Ho-yeon until just now, but Irene pretended to be picky.
It was because she was angry with her father and regretted that Lee Ho-yeon had finally come to see her.

“Is it because you were screaming in the guild leader’s room earlier? Guild leader, you went out somewhere with a very sad expression.”
“…Not a word. Sit there.”
“This is a present. I saw Irene drink it before.”

Lee Ho-yeon put down the wine and sat down on the sofa.
She went to the inn to bring a bottle of wine because she had to come empty-handed, but Irene’s disgruntled voice was heard from the guild leader’s room. So she came at ease.

“Wine? What’s the wind blowing all of a sudden?”
“I want to have a sincere conversation.”
“…?”

Irene tilted her head at the sudden sound.
Does she have a sincere conversation between herself and Lee Ho-yeon?

‘… This person is also very pretty.’

On the other hand, Lee Ho-yeon was surprised by the appearance.
Why is Irene a narcissist? It’s because she’s ridiculously pretty.
It seems like she didn’t treat pretty people properly like this, so I need to take care of her.

“Do you hate me, Irene?”
“…Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”
“It’s just that. I did a lot of sorry things to Irene.”
“I think it’s more fun to do that now. When you’re in the middle of trash, you’re so shameless.”
“I guess so.”

It’s not wrong to say come now.
The apology was quite late.

‘I’ve apologized before.’

After she did her first 3p with Elise, she said she was sorry and she said thank you for letting her have a hot night with Elise.
… In fact, it made her feel less guilty when dealing with Irene.

Irene stared at Lee Ho-yeon. For some reason he seemed a little different than usual.
She seemed to have something to say, so she got up and sat down across from Lee Ho-yeon.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Irene.”
“… Huh?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever properly apologized sober.”

Now that I think about it, I think there might have been a better way.
You can’t undo the past, but you can apologise.

… Besides, there’s a problem.
I have something to really apologize to Irene.

“And… The kids living in my house said they were rude.”
“Huh? …Ah. That.”

A surprise kidnapping show where Lee Ho-yeon’s cohabitants suffered.
How embarrassed she was by those crazy women.
Irene crossed her legs as she watched Lee Ho-yeon bow her head.

“Don’t keep your head down because it’s awkward. I’ve already solved that problem with them. They’re strange people because they look like you, they’re not bad people.”
“It’s true. Everyone has a good heart.”
“…More than that, you. Just like the last time I was talking about Lucifer, it suddenly became strange. People around me say that I am an apostle of justice.
“It can’t be.”

Lee Ho-yeon laughed at Irene’s words.

Apostle of justice.

As the saying goes, Lee Ho-yeon’s status was soaring in the world.

Originally called ‘genius wizard’ or ‘dream wizard’, he was called by strange nicknames, but once he became a hero who killed Lucifer and saved the academy, he flew up.
And a few days ago, my name was on the plan to study the connection between the pandemic and the black pillar that the Iris Guild spread around the world, so this time I ascended to heaven.
I was afraid to search my name on the news or New Tube.

“It’s okay. Drinking late at night makes me honest.”
“…The wine hasn’t been opened yet, and it’s eight o’clock. Are you sick?”

Lee Ho-yeon passed Irene’s words through one ear.
Still, it was easy for me to express my feelings once I openly talked about it.
Originally, Lee Ho-yeon wanted to be a bad guy.

A bad man who steals the hearts of the heroes and forces them to follow.
Only then, he thought, could he have a harem.

But as he lived, he knew.
He doesn’t like it that way.
The nightmares he had every day were proof of that.
He wants to make an excuse that it is because of his ‘distinct mental strength’, but… Still, I must apologize.

“It might be funny to say this, but I think Irene is as precious as Elise. So I’m going to shake off the bad image I have.”

It actually bothers me that I used a coercive method when attacking Irene for the first time.
In a way, she was similar to Baek A-young, but it was a bit different because she enjoyed it a lot too.

“She enjoyed Irene too, but… No. This is a bit different.’

He even used coercive methods. Although she has somehow recovered now, it is a bit nerve-wracking that Ellis came to know Irene’s heart this way.
It means you feel responsible.

“He said something. Don’t mind me, I’m fine now.”

Irene agrees that her relationship with Lee Ho-yeon is not romantic.
But… It wasn’t too bad.
There were times when he felt resentful of him, but it was also true that he became closer to Alice thanks to Lee Ho-yeon.
Plus he’s good at sex.

‘Once I’m so good at it… I don’t think even my father can refuse.’

His ability as a son-in-law is also very good.
The battle between Lee Ho-yeon and Im Sol. And the battle with Lucifer.

Ho-yeon Lee’s fight there was still vivid in front of his eyes.
At this level, wouldn’t the father allow both daughters?

‘… I don’t think two people will do it.’

Anyway, two of them are not bad.
If it’s her father’s personality, it’s fortunate that he didn’t kill Lee Ho-yeon.

When Irene was having such thoughts.
Lee Ho-yeon shook her head.

“No. I just can’t get over it.”
“I’m fine? Hehe. If you’re so sorry, look for me at night…”
“I’ll take responsibility and make the 3p with Alice a natural thing.”
“…?”

*

While chatting with Irene, I left the 1st team leader’s room.
It’s late at night.

In the end, I couldn’t even open the wine, but what is it?
Irene also had fun hanging out with her, so she felt good.

“Before Ellis gets off work, she has to play with me, Lilia, in Scarlett’s room… Huh?”

She was thinking about how to deal with Liliana’s whining that she was bored, but a weak magic power appeared in front of her eyes.
The magic power that suddenly appeared whirled around and she flew off somewhere.
The magic that left the blue road seemed to tell me to follow it as it is.

“What is this?”

As she followed her magic without much thought, she saw her guild room.
Lee Ho-yeon took a peek inside the room just in case.

“You’re here. Wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
“… Huh, guild leader?”

Sitting in the guild leader’s room was Isaac, a handsome blond-haired man with his arms crossed.
It seems that he wanted to make a cool appearance with a light smile.
Couldn’t I just send it to the smart watch to come to the guild leader’s room… ?

“Is this the first time we’ve seen each other like this since chasing the centaur? It seems rude to have a guest stay for over a week and not call once. I called once.”
“Oh, I see.”

Still, I can understand why you called.
In addition to staying at the Iris Guild, he believes in Lee Ho-yeon and gives him tremendous support, so as a guild leader, I would like to see him at least once.

“I should have looked for you first, but I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Our first meeting wasn’t that good. I was worried you might be uncomfortable.”
“Yes? Ah, ahaha…”

Okay. I still remember my first meeting with the Emperor of the Night.
Because he attacked himself in the academy’s alley in the name of testing. Like a crazy person.

“You don’t look good?”
“… No. Do you have anything to say?”

Judging by what you called in the middle of the night, it looks like you have something to say.
Isaac looked at Lee Ho-yeon and nodded her head.

“I heard Alice and Irene believe in you a lot.”
“Ah, yes.”

In fact, it could be said that the cooperation of the Iris Guild was thanks to the two of them.
The daughter fool’s guild leader has no choice but to do it when her two beloved daughters ask for it.
I thought he called because he had an important story, but Isaac only brought up miscellaneous things after that.

“Come to think of it, doesn’t she intend to join the Iris Guild? She was rejected when asked before.”
“… It’s still a refusal. I’m sorry. I have something else to do.”

Lee Ho-yeon answered and slightly narrowed her eyes.
It was because I was subtly concerned with Isaac’s momentum during the conversation.
The pressure was quite severe for the momentum that flowed naturally.

Is it some kind of pressure?
I wonder if I have to do it once to be comfortable when I see Alice and Irene in the future.
I don’t want to pour out my magic power on my father…

Widely-

At that time, a photo that Isaac threw on the table cut off Lee Ho-yeon’s worries.

“This…?”
“Check it out for yourself.”

Aha.
Lee Ho-yeon laughed inwardly.

This seems to be Isaac’s own test.

She can’t hide the fact that she regularly meets with Elise or Irene anyway.
From his point of view, he probably didn’t like the fact that a gisaeng brother was friendly with her daughter.
No matter how strong rumors are, there are some people whose intuition can be solved only when you see it with your own eyes.

As proof of that, after throwing the photo, the momentum to put pressure on himself became stronger.
Moving your body right now is a test in itself.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

Of course, it wasn’t that difficult.
Lee Ho-yeon naturally accepted Isaac’s magical power into his body.
For Lee Ho-yeon, who had [Magical Response], This was easier than Liliana’s bite attack.

“…As expected, Lucifer’s power is underestimated. If monsters like you weren’t in the academy… Our daughters’ lives would be in danger.”
“No. Lucifer was interested in me. In fact, it’s probably because of me that Alice and Irene got involved.”

Isaac showed a surprised expression and spoke to Lee Ho-yeon, but Lee Ho-yeon did not fall for those words.
The information about the pandemic that Alice got. Of course Isaac knows that.
It wasn’t difficult to get the answer you wanted.

“What is this door anyway? Is it some kind of art?”

Lee Ho-yeon looked at her picture and frowned at her.
It was a bizarre door with pictures of bizarre monsters eating humans, humans killing humans, and humans suffering as if they were being punished.

“It’s a door that appeared on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Our informant found it and controlled it.”
“… When did you appear?”
“About two hours ago. I checked it myself, so I’m sure.”

Two hours ago, it was the time she left with a sad expression after being cursed at by Irene.
Going to investigate something like this in that state is a person with a strong work ethic.

“The reason I’m showing you is because it seemed to be related to your research. The magic of hell in Lucifer’s corpse. It was flowing out of this door.”
“Aha…”
“I know that Wizard Lee Ho-yeon has been conducting personal investigations into the pandemic. Do you have any information?”

A huge door through which the magic of hell flows.

Of course I know.
The second half of the original story.
The runaway phenomenon that started in the dungeon gets worse and eventually the door leading to hell opens.

Commonly known as ‘The Gates of Hell.’

The moment that door opens, demons from hell jump out and the earth becomes a mess.

“I’m not sure yet. But… I’ll be fine for now.”

It takes a huge sacrifice to open that door.
In the original work, the gates of hell are only opened after several countries are destroyed.

‘The current pandemic would have lacked the time to collect that much sacrifice.’

This is unavoidable even if the butterfly effect has occurred.
Because the physical ‘offering’ is lacking.

… However, for some reason, a sense of uneasiness pricked Lee Ho-yeon’s chest.
