Chapter 178 – First of Two Chances -1-

A person who is fast on his feet, good at hiding himself, and knows how to set up and use magic tools.

Philip, who was summoned by Isaac to come to the capital alone, had no decent person around him.

One of the connections that was urgently airlifted has been placed elsewhere in case there is a blind spot in the field of vision.

In a situation where you have to move quickly like now, not having an assistant next to you to help with chores is an absurdly poor environment.

Philip, who was crouching down in an empty room preparing magic tools, whimpers and gets up from his seat after getting ready and relaxes his back.

Do you think that this hardship is to make the embarrassing delusions of a rich kid come true…?

A voice filled with desolation and futility burst out spontaneously.

“Oh my gosh…! It’s dirty so I can’t eat it~ The real punishment.”

As the target is the target, preparation should be thorough enough to make it seem excessive.

Experiences I don’t want to remember again.

Through them, Philip knows to some extent the danger of ‘monsters’ wearing human shells.

One of the monsters belonging to it could be involved in this incident, so it is not enough to be careful several times.

Some inexperienced will tell you.

No matter how great the 5 knights of the empire are, they are only one human.

He said that he would not notice even the prying eyes with magic tools by keeping a sufficient distance and hiding himself thoroughly.

Philip’s cautious behavior may be too much of a waste of time and energy.

Phillip, helping Isaac with his crazy plans, had other ideas.

No matter how far away Eclair Dritna’s mansion is, it’s dangerous to observe it with magic tools! I quickly gave up on the feeling, intuition, and found another way.

At least, the girls from aristocratic families who attend the academy take advantage of the habit of walking only on the main roads, excluding alleys.

Philip, who had figured out the limited route that Chloe could take if she came out of his mansion, was waiting without a promise on the street far ahead.

“Pooh…”

When I’m working, I can’t even burn a cigarette just in case, so it tastes like death.

I can’t rest for a moment because I have to get rid of the garbage collected in the capital as quickly as possible.

The content is childish enough that even young children can ignore it, but it is not the size of the work.

“Kuhm!”

Cough dry to expel drowsiness, turn your neck once, and concentrate again.

The appearance of Chloe Dritna, the target, stands out.

When the academy ends.

Because she was one of those people who had a presence that drew a man’s attention even among the crowded crowd if you turned your eyes a little.

He chased after Chloe, who hurriedly returned to her mansion, from afar with her magical sphere, but was now on standby.

‘Come···!’

She didn’t even wait long before I saw her coming out of her transformation.

She had hopes for the impatient target’s progress.

The wait wasn’t too long and it felt good that the work was starting.

‘To the next building.’

The cylindrical telescope that Philip has has excellent performance, befitting a magical tool airlifted from the Count Malloy family.

Thanks to the rooms that Isaac vacated with money, looking down on the main road from a high place, the view is wide open and it is very easy.

‘At this rate, opportunities will come… I can use them today and throw them away.’

The idiots who are currently renting a single inn and waiting may get stuck or burst if they don’t use it quickly.

They have the best self-esteem and have some strength, but their brains are overwhelmingly lacking.

The best way to lead them without conflict is ‘simplicity’.

If you tell me a complicated and difficult method, the people who do it once and see it without asking again even if they don’t understand it internally.

Rather than believing in them, it is more convenient to step forward on your own.

If you sit still and wait, the things you have collected will cause an accident, so you will not be able to rest even if you take a break.

In order to mold the crazy situation that the young boy who is crazy about women wants.

Phillip slightly opened the window and followed Chloe through it.

‘Where are you going?’

The usual leisurely pace was gone, and the target’s footsteps were not at normal speed.

“Ow! Hey!”

Looking at the back of Chloe walking, it was clear that a researcher with only that money had a violent body that could be coveted.

‘I wonder if I can hug a woman like that once in my life…’

The clothes that cover up as much as possible give off a more strange feeling.

The outline of her buttocks peeking out over her long skirt made her saliva go down.

A body that was just a pity for the sorcerer master without such stamina.

‘Arrive?’

Subject stopped walking and started talking to someone.

The moment you turn the magic tool to check the opponent on the other side as a matter of course.

“…?!”

Woodangtang-!

Philip threw away the magic tool that was stuck to his eyeballs in fear for the first time and flattened his body.

‘Bar, just…?’

Eyes met the muscular man next to the target.

A stare too certain to be a coincidence.

Even if you knew it, you would look smaller than a grain of rice, you were hiding behind the curtains on the windows.

I had a goosebumps experience where the other person’s eyes turned around towards the magic tool and their eyes collided.

It’s an absurd case, so I’d like to think it might be a coincidence.

Philip does not deny the intuition that has fed him for a long time.

“…”

He hid for a while, holding his breath and breaking out in a cold sweat.

As it was, I struggled and crawled out of the empty room with my stomach attached to the wooden floor.

From the moment Chloe enters the store, he himself stops observing.

He handed over observation of the store to his subordinate in another room to block his blind spot.

Philip turned to his Isaac, who would be waiting for news from him.

…
…

“…A man? Who is it?”

An easy-to-understand expression.

Isaac’s face crumpled like a tightly held piece of paper.

Wouldn’t it be a spark to fly at the young and emotional look of Isaac. Philip grew increasingly anxious.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen this person, but my experience and intuition are warning me.

Crackle!

Silence fell in the large room as Isaac nervously threw away the cup he was holding in his hand.

“People like you, lacking in brains, living on their bodies and lacking in theory, always say that! .”

“…”

“Did that man pull out an aura that would cut down a huge building like slime right in front of his eyes?”

“No···.”

“Are you a member of a high-ranking aristocracy that Philip would know? Even I should bow my head?”

“I don’t think so…”

Formal employees who help the Malloy family busy with business memorize the faces of nobles they may encounter at social gatherings or at social gatherings as a basic education.

There was no man with such a vicious atmosphere.

“In the first place, when they have an accident, they are in a situation they face to avoid, but who is the opponent and why do they need to be scared in advance?”

In times like these, it’s best to just listen quietly.

Recognizing that if he said any more, he would be dismissed by objections, Phillip kept his mouth shut and took Isaac’s nerves away.

“…You are right.”

Suppressing the emotions boiling inside him, Philip forced him to nod.

“For the man you’re with, make sure to use them to take care of it. They’re all going to be sorted out anyway, so it doesn’t matter what you do. Hurry up and get ready.”

“All right.”

Philip quickly left the room, feeling that if he didn’t leave the room now, a sigh would flow out in front of the person involuntarily.

*****

‘What are those bastards?’

Sometimes there were suspicious guys who didn’t even know their intentions.

Rather, it has been strangely quiet lately.

It may have been that I didn’t have any trouble because I lived with my women without fighting around.

I was going to run right away and break their heads, but it was cruel to leave the place with Chloe, who showed anticipation with her whole body.

Solve your expression and face Chloe who is waiting for you.

It’s not her academy conquest, but her neat outfit that gave her strength in her own way.

Although her tendency to avoid exposure was properly reflected.

On the contrary, it was attracting men’s attention.

“Are you dressed nicely?”

“Huh, eh…! Uh…! Go, thank you!”

Chloe, startled and creaking like an overloaded machine, hesitated before accepting my words as a thank you.

‘The reaction is different from what I thought?’

I knew it would be surprising, but the appearance itself was completely different from what I had imagined.

This growth rate was more surprising than the actual class where blood was sprayed on the face.

Because Chloe in the original work is a character who can’t fully accept the affirmation of herself and denies it every time.

“You can go to a new store this time, or you can go here. Where do you want to go?”

“I… I like this place!”

An easy-to-understand, excited voice.

Plus, I wanted to hear from her directly about this positive change that definitely speaks to her opinion.

“Shall we go in?”

“Yes··!”

As I hold her door and wait for Chloe to enter, she then realizes that she is waiting for her and passes in front of me and enters her shop with her gun.

A space to be guided by.

Both Chloe and Roman noticed that the air was strangely different from last time.

The time when ice breaking is needed for Chloe, who is fidgeting with her fingers without even making eye contact.

I shoved her menu board towards her, breaking her silence.

“Chloe. What do you think is the reason why most people eat more in the evening than in the morning?

It was a word that came to mind to melt the atmosphere that felt harder than last time, but Chloe pondered the answer with a serious face.

“Hmm… Isn’t everyone giving themselves a reward for working hard for the day?”

“You’re not wrong. If you think that way, you’ll be motivated to get through the boring times.”

“Does my older brother think differently…?”

She wondered what I was thinking, her eyes shining with pure curiosity.

“It’s the time when the goddess above the sky closes her eyes, so darkness comes. It’s a time when you don’t get noticed even if you act extravagantly.”

Of course, it’s bullshit that comes to mind.

But one of the strengths of my girls, including Chloe, is that they laugh at nonsense that doesn’t even sound like this.

As now.

I am grateful to Chloe who smiles and draws an arc with her eyes at such a shy voice.

“Brother’s point of view is unique and interesting every time. Me, I think that way is more valid and correct…!  A lot of bad things happen in dark places or when night falls…”

Seeing that the atmosphere had softened a little, I took out the menu for the spare portion next to me.

“Isn’t that right? So now I’m enjoying my time in luxury and not caring about anyone.”
