Chapter 622 – Chapter 622. The Culprit Was Lee Ho-Yeon.

A cafe near the academy. Falling moon
It was a popular cafe among women with a cute interior.

Nakwol’s 1st floor, the center seat.
The twins Lucy and Rumi were sitting.
They sat shoulder to shoulder and chatted.

“Rumi. This is really good.”

“Yeah. Have a bite of mine too, Lucy.”

The twins sitting side by side in the corner of the cafe shared a drink and laughed.
Just such an action filled the cafe with a warm atmosphere, but the girls didn’t care about their surroundings.

“Ugh. I can’t eat this because it’s too bitter.”

Lucy squinted her eyes as soon as she drank her coffee.
She told her her coffee was too bitter

“Is that enough?”

“Yeah. I think this is delicious-.”

Lucy took a quick sip of her latte to erase her bitter taste.
Only then did she feel relieved as the sweet taste lingered in her mouth.

“Rumi. It will take a long time to do this time, right?”

Lucy muttered without thinking as she sipped her latte.

“Because Mr. Hoyeon said it would take a week if it was long. Umm…”

The reason Lucy and Rumi are sitting in a cafe.
This is because this cafe is the meeting place for the people who break the black pillar.

“But can we break the black pillar?

“Hoyeon explained everything, but Lucy didn’t listen. And she told me not to pay attention to the news.”

“Aha. I think I remember.”

Lucy recalls, aha. She did and nodded her head.
She said she knew without listening to Lee Ho-yeon asking for help, but now that she thinks about it, she seems to have heard such an explanation.

Belt ring-

Just then, a woman walked into the cafe.
Nam Da-eun, who looked around to find her familiar face, soon came looking for her twin.

“Hey guys.”

“Huh? Da-eun!”

“Miss Daeun. Hello.”

After greeting Lucy and Rumi, Nam Da-eun went to the counter and ordered her drinks.
The menu is peach iced tea.
When I returned to my seat with a drink, Lucy and Rumi started talking to me.

“Iced tea? I like it too. It’s easy to drink.

“Are you not good at drinking bitter things like Lucy?”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Nam Da-eun smiled brightly.
In fact, I don’t know her taste or texture well.
I just chose iced tea because it was cheap.

Lee Ho-yeon always tells her to spend money however she wants, but Nam Da-eun has always been like this.
The memory of her drinking water instead of dinner in her dormitory still remains in her heart, and her habit of saving and saving did not change even if she tried to change it.
Although she tends to spend money when playing with Dahee, she felt comfortable saving money when she was alone.

“The cafe sells that too. Claire… What was it?”

“Lucy, are you talking about the Claire Rose latte?”

“Ah, that’s right. That’s a drink that no one eats because it’s so bad, but strangely, they say it’s still on the menu.”

Nam Da-eun leaned into her chair watching her twins talk.
Lucy and Rumi carry on a conversation even when they are quiet, so they feel comfortable when they are together.

“That’s right. Daeun-ah. They say the academy will be normalized soon, so let’s take the next class together.”

“Okay, I get it.”

Nam Da-eun answered Lucy and continued the conversation naturally.
As we talked moderately about each other, I felt footsteps approaching us.

“Guys. It’s been a while. I guess Professor Imsol hasn’t come yet?”

“Oh, student president!”

“Student President. Hello…!”

“Hello.”

Nod

Watching the three lower their heads, Munsu Lin waved her hand.
This awkward atmosphere is what she hates the most.

“Don’t say hello like that because it’s embarrassing. Oh, is it okay if I sit down too?”

Moon Soo-rin took her seat and sipped her drink leisurely.
After taking a bite of the Claire Rose latte sold at this cafe for the first time in a while, her head seemed to be refreshed.

Lucy and Rumi chatted after seeing the Claire Rose Latte, but Moon Su-rin didn’t care.

Lately, she’s been feeling free.
As Lee Ho-yeon said, a professional manager was hired and the father, who was feeling well, returned to work.
Munsu-rin has little to do as her father calls on her grandfather who is bedridden and takes care of chores for her.

I’m going to do this a long time ago She thought about doing it, but she was more concerned about her father than that.

‘… You must be doing well.’

Naturally, she has no intention of forgiving her father who became a demon just because he made her work at the academy.
But after a proper conversation with her father, she couldn’t think of him as a stranger.

She will live with atonement for the rest of her life, and she intends to watch it right next to her.

“Student president. But aren’t you doing student council work today?”

While Rumi and Nam Da-eun were just staring at each other, it was Lucy who spoke first.
It was strange to Lucy that the student president, who always seemed busy, would destroy the black pillar.

“Yeah. Things have been loose these days. Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with our plans.”

The reason why he brought his father back to work was to have time to break the black pillar.
No matter how professional a manager he was, he needed someone to fill the vacant position if he completely dropped out of the academy.

“Come to think of it, how well can Miss Lucy or Miss Rumi handle the magic of hell?”

“We learned a little from Professor Im Sol.”

“Right…But I’m still not very good at it.”

“Hmm. I see. You can still carry out the plan. What about Miss Eun?”

“Ah… Well, I don’t mind.”

Moon Su-rin intervened in the conversation as if she had been there before.
It was a conversation with first graders younger than her, but she had this kind of experience, so she was able to carry on naturally.

She had been chatting for ten minutes, but something was strange.
Moon Soo-rin said while looking at her smart watch.

“By the way, when is the professor coming?”

“I don’t know. It’s past the appointment time, but…”

“Since you replied yesterday, let’s wait a little longer.”

Moon Soo-rin looked around.
I can make a plan and move only with Im Sol, but Professor Im Sol, who is the core of the plan, is nowhere to be seen.

At that time.

Belt ring-

Im Sol opened the cafe and appeared slowly.
As soon as Im Sol appeared at the cafe, she caught everyone’s attention.
Im Sol, who confidently walked inside her, looked at them and greeted her.

“I’m sorry I’m late. Magic research is a little late. Shall we go to the field right away?”

No matter how imsol she is, she was not without a concept of time.
I have an important appointment in the afternoon, but I don’t study magic that can’t be stopped.
The reason she was late for her appointment was to pick out her dress.

Lee Ho-yeon’s thoughtless remark, “Do you always wear only those clothes?”
After he passed away, she pondered, and Im Sol realized.

All the women I met today were close friends with Lee Ho-yeon.
However, for Im Sol, who leads them, to wear sweats picked up at home, it was something that could be ignored.
That’s why she thought and thought over the clothes she would wear today.

In the end, Im Sol came wearing the suit she wore when she went to the wizarding society.
It was an outfit that Lee Ho-yeon praised as being cool.

“Yes. We’re running out of time, so let’s go right away, Professor.”

“Professor. We are ready too!”

However, none of them paid attention to Im Sol’s clothes.
Whether Im Sol was wearing a pink tee or a suit, they weren’t the ones to point out.
Lee Ho-yeon was the only one who cared about her outfit.

“… Okay.”

Seeing the women rushing out of the cafe, Im Sol blinked at her.
How long did it take to choose this outfit, and this is the only reaction.

‘I thought I would look at the teacher with more respect…’

Imsol helplessly followed Moon Su-rin.

*

American airports.

Loud voices of people and machine sounds everywhere.
I hear announcements that are hard to understand, and the scent of perfume sprayed by people stings my nose.

I walked while keeping my distance from people while using the rune’s barrier.
Passing between the busily moving people looking for a place to go, I passed the arrival gate of the airport for the first time in a long time.

‘Last time I came with Sol, there were so many people I couldn’t even move.’

Back then, there were a lot more people because of the wizard society.
There were noticeably fewer people today compared to that day.

“The flight is canceled. What are you talking about?”

“It is said that an unidentified monster is flying around the air route. For safety reasons…”

“What are you talking about! Then what about my meeting?!”

There was a reason why there were no people, but now I think I know.
It’s not something I’ve just boarded on a plane to say, but it’s absurd to get on a plane when the gates of hell have opened.
You have to avoid the monster by using a special plane, not a designated air route.

‘Anyway… Where was the meeting place? Is that it?’

I was walking to the meeting place he had taken to meet the president of the society.

It was my first time coming here, so I was confused about the geography, but I was able to walk because I followed the smart watch.
Besides, it was fun to look around.

Families traveling with young children.
A woman holding her passport tightly as if she was uneasy about something.
A boy stomping his feet nervously looking at his smart watch.

It was quite fun to see the new scenery of other countries, but people watching was the most fun.
Even everyday life, which was not a big deal, was valuable to him.
It motivates me to work a little harder.

“Is it here?”

A cafe attached to a hotel near the airport.
It was the place where I first met Arthur.
I peeked inside through the outside window.

‘There he is.’

A tall, middle-aged man was sitting in the corner of the cafe.
Seeing that he looks better than before, he must have eaten a lot of good things.
He caught her gaze, recognized her this way, then waved his hand and smiled.

Big hum.

I packed my subspace pouch again and went inside with an awkward smile.
You can feel the energy of magic in the cafe.
Arthur, the president of the Association, was already waiting with a barrier.

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! No, I should call him Ho-yeon Lee. Sorcerer Lee Ho-yeon. You haven’t seen him yet, so your magic has grown stronger than before.”

“My face heats up when the president of the school says such a thing.”

After a brief silence, I sat across from the president of the Arthur Society.
It was a bit awkward to see it alone, not with Professor Im Sol.

“I’ve been worried because there’s been a lot of bad words lately, but he doesn’t seem to care.”

“Originally, when you become famous, there are a lot of bad things to say. Just like the president of the association.”

“Euhaha. As expected, I have something in common with you. I told you the other day, but you can treat me comfortably as if you were my older brother.”

“… Yes. President of the association.”

In a word, the atmosphere became very uncomfortable.
Why don’t you guys know that?

“Keuheum. Anyway, I came because I wanted to ask for help.”

“Yes. I heard roughly from Sol. It was about the magic of hell, right?”

“Yes. But before that, there’s one thing we need to do, President.”

“Huh? What to do?”

“Please hold out your hand for a second.”

The maestro’s indoctrination spreads to high-ranking officials.
It’s unlikely that the president was brainwashed, but I’ll have to check it out anyway.
