Chapter 709 – Side Story Episode 43. The Story After That (43)

It’s bothering. And it’s hard.

Ellis thought as she watched the people moving around in front of her.

“Chief. The color at the tip of the eyes is a little weak…”

“A color that suits Lady Ellis’s mood…”

The place where she is sitting is the makeup room.

This is a place where about an hour is wasted every time there is an important event.

Although Ellis continued to refuse, she ended up having to wear makeup for every event due to the fierce opposition of a powerful person in the Iris Guild.
For your information, that person is still snorting while looking at Ellis.

“Ellis. You’re much prettier than before! Ah, manager. “It seems like your lip color is lighter than usual?”

“You recognize me. Considering the lighting at the party today, I deliberately set it one level lower…”

Ellis sighed and looked at Irene’s fuss.
Fortunately, it was soon time to enter, and the makeup was finished.

“Sister. Next time, please reduce it to 30 minutes.”

“Okay. But I feel sorry for the managers. It doesn’t show Alice’s charm properly. Should we replace it now?”

“It’s not the manager that’s the problem, it’s the sister that’s the problem. “She doesn’t want to be unemployed anymore.”

Ellis and Irene chatted and headed to the party.

The party at the party has already started.

The Iris Guild is the main character of the party, so enter slowly.

“Ellis. Are you prepared to answer the questions reporters ask? “Today you have to answer everything.”

“Of course. There’s almost nothing to explain anyway… All you have to do is show off your friendship with Lee Ho-yeon.”

The slander against Iris Guild has already been explained.

EK Guild did not expect a huge response, so most of them were crude rumors.

The purpose of today’s party is to prevent terrorism and show off one’s friendship with Lee Ho-yeon.

“I would also ask about Lee Ho-yeon. Something like a dating rumor.”

“Should we just take this opportunity to reveal it?”

“That’s a good idea too. I think my father will be angry, but…”

“Hmm, that’s right. “I think it would be better to at least wait until I graduate from the academy.”

By then, Ellis will have taken over the Iris guild, and Isaac will have given up his position as guild leader and will be busy having fun.
You may be a little less interested in your daughter’s love life.

“They are all here. Let’s go in. Ellis.”

“Huh. “Sister.”

A terrorist attack is predicted at this party.

And the people inside only believe in Iris Guild.

Is it because of the long makeup time?

Ellis entered the party feeling a little nervous.

– The main character of today’s party, Iris Guild, is entering!

Click- Click-

The now familiar shutter sound and camera flash welcomed Ellis and Irene.

“Why did you go ahead with the party even though a terrorist attack was predicted today?”

“What do you think about the complaints about Iris Guild’s aggressive business expansion?!”

Ellis smiled and walked to the center of the party.

Questions should only be asked during question time. The urgent thing now is to find Lee Ho-yeon.

Joining him and showing off our friendship was one of the biggest goals of today’s party.

‘Is it over there?’

Inside the party hall.

Even though all eyes were focused on the appearance of the Iris Guild, a group of people could be seen.

Seeing that some reporters were there, it was clear that Lee Ho-yeon was there.

“Ellis. I see Lee Ho-yeon over there…”

Irene, who was walking in front of Ellis, stopped.
This is because she found Lee Ho-yeon surrounded by reporters.

“… Lee Ho-yeon?”

The sounds of reporters’ shutters can be heard endlessly.

Lee Ho-yeon, wearing a neat suit and with his hair up, was chatting with people with a shy smile.

Irene stared blankly at his face for a moment.

“That’s cool…”

After a month of watching Ellis and redefining the beauty of her world, Irene erased all of that realization in five seconds.

“Sister. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? … Huh?”

And Ellis, who would normally have slapped Irene on the shoulder to make her come to her senses, stopped walking when she saw Lee Ho-yeon.
The two sisters looked at Lee Ho-yeon blankly.

After entering the party.

Hoyeon Lee walked around the inside of the party and said hello.

“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon! It’s an honor!”

“Thank you.”

Although it is a party where a terrorist attack was predicted, people’s expressions are bright.

The reason was immediately apparent.

“Even if a terrorist attack really occurs, I feel safe because Wizard Lee Ho-yeon and Iris Guild are here!”

“Nothing dangerous will ever happen, so don’t worry and enjoy the party.”

Some people believed that terrorism would not occur, and most thought that even if it did occur, the Iris Guild would prevent it.

That is why the image we have built so far is so important.

‘Are they traitors?’

As I walked around the party, I could also see people from the EK guild.

When I looked at her face, I could tell right away that there were people who did not approach her.
Although it was my first time seeing her in person, I remembered her face from a photo at Iris Guild.

‘The magic power is suspicious?’

The magic power of several guilds, including the EK guild, flickered in an unusual form.

It seems like they are planning to betray as soon as they receive a signal from within.

‘I should install a safety device just in case.’

Lee Ho-yeon passed by the suspicious guys and attached magical energy to their bodies.

If she puts her mind to it, magic will spread throughout her body.

– The main character of today’s party, Iris Guild, is entering!

The Iris Guild has finally begun to arrive.

Now we have to join over there.

Ho-yeon Lee quickly said hello to the people around him.

“I’m going to head towards the Iris Guild soon. Have a good time everyone.”

“Hey, wizard Lee Ho-yeon! If you take a moment…”

“Us too! A story about collaboration with our guild!”

“Sorry. Please make official requests through the Iris Guild.”

Hoyeon Lee smiled and turned her body.
I saw Ellis and Irene in front of the Iris guild members.

Isaac followed right behind them, and I could see him glaring in this direction.

“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. Your complexion looks much better than it did a few days ago. Did they use magic at all?”

Isaac came in front of Ellis and said hello to Hoyeon Lee.

He had a friendly smile, but he seemed angry for some reason.

“Thank you for the compliment. “My secretary is very interested in my appearance.”

“Is it… Tsk.”

I tried to tell him to at least announce his marriage to the secretary he liked so much, but Isaac was conscious of the reporters around him, so he swallowed his words.

Now, we need to let you know about the friendship between the Iris Guild and wizard Lee Ho-yeon.

‘What’s so good about a playboy like that?’ .’

The reason why he showed hostility toward Lee Ho-yeon was simple.

This is because I saw my two daughters standing blankly when they saw Lee Ho-yeon.

I wanted to shed bloody tears for her father’s heart…

“Anyway, have a good time. “Guild leader.”

Hoyeon Lee bowed her head and looked at Irene and Ellis behind him.
And I remembered what Scarlett said.

– There’s nothing like Bijou to show off your closeness.

– Bijou? What is that?

– This is a French greeting where you touch your cheeks and make a sound with your lips. Hoyeon, you probably know of its existence, right?

– … I think I saw it on the internet? But I don’t think I’ve ever received it.

-That’s because it’s a greeting only given to friends, family, friends, etc. This is a greeting that is not often used when meeting for official reasons. However, even in a public setting, if there is a close relationship between the two people, a biju is used.

Bisou

It is a European greeting in which the cheeks are touched, and the sound is made.

Although she says she doesn’t do it in public, there is more to the relationship between Lee Ho-yeon and Ellis.
It seemed like a good way to show my closeness, so I set up a conversation with Ellis in advance.

“Ellis?”

“Ah…”

But it was strange.

It was clearly decided to do Bijou first on Ellis’ side, but she stood still as if her body had stiffened.

“Ellis. “You’d think it would be awkward if I stayed like that, right?”

“… “Did you spray perfume?”

“Oh, I guess so?”

I sprayed what Scarlett recommended, but why does perfume come on out of nowhere?

Sensing her awkwardness, Hoyeon Lee looked at Ellis’ face from a slight distance.

Reddened cheeks and eyes that avoid eye contact. Rapid breathing and pounding heart.

Ho-yeon Lee was belatedly able to determine the condition of Ellis and Irene.

The two were embarrassed.

The cause is… You can understand it without thinking too deeply.

He was embarrassed to see Lee Ho-yeon, who had prepared herself for today.

‘After all, a woman knows her heart very well.’

Scarlett probably decorated herself that well.

Hoyeon Lee lowered the corners of her mouth and held Ellis’s shoulders, pressing her cheeks together.
She gave a nod to her heated cheek and bowed to the other one as well.
Still, it seemed like she couldn’t come to her senses, so she slightly injected her magic into Ellis’ body.

“Ugh! Eww. Huh…”

Elise, whose body trembled at the familiar sensation, looked at Hoyeon Lee in surprise.
Seeing him smiling with a playful face brought back my sense of reality.

‘Bah, such a stupid thing…’ .’

I can’t believe I’m excited and nervous seeing that pervert.

There has never been a day when Ellis felt more resentful of herself than today.
If there was a mouse hole, she would want to avoid it.
Hoyeon Lee left Ellis alone for a moment and approached Irene.

“Mr. Irene. “It’s been a while.”

She also did a bijuu with Irene, touching her cheek, but she also stood there blankly.
In the end, she had the same magic flowing into her as Ellis.

“Huh! “Ah!”

Irene blinked her eyes and looked straight at Hoyeon Lee.
And she looked at Ellis and Ho-yeon Lee alternately and then said, ugh… She let out an unidentifiable moan.

‘Irene has such a cute side.’

Hoyeon Lee looked at Irene’s gaze and smiled at her.
I guess she’s wondering if it’s Alice or if she’s herself.

The answer to that question can be given in bed.

“Okay, everyone, let’s go in.”

Hoyeon Lee approached them to show off her friendship with the Iris Guild.
