Chapter 224 – Chapter 224. Why Is It Only for Me (4)
Alice’s mansion.
Tak- Tak- Tak-
A problem the Iris Guild faced.
Ellis, who was collecting information about the centaurs that had appeared in France, stood up and stretched out.
“Haa… What are you talking about?”
Since it was not a clearly established monster, the reliability of the information was low.
Ellis, who was frowning at her tiredness, poured a glass of wine from her desk.
“Hmm.”
As she closed her eyes and enjoyed the scent of the wine, Alice realized that the weekend was over tomorrow.
She’s been working all weekend, but the weekend is already over.
She has to go to the academy, and she is starting to gather information and study again.
‘Well….’
Come to think of it, where did Scarlett go?
There is a mountain of information to collect.
Information about Lee Ho-yeon, information about the girls around Lee Ho-yeon, or information about Lee Ho-yeon’s dormitory…
Smart.
“Come in.”
Sebastian is the only one knocking on her door like this.
Scarlett, because she likes to wander around her window strangely.
Ellis set her wine glass down on her desk and greeted Sebastian.
“Ah, lady.”
“… Why?”
Sebastian entered the room in a hurry.
These days, there are many times when I am in such a hurry.
She was originally a middle-aged, well-to-do person.
And it was always about his father when he was that low.
“The Korean branch manager has contacted me. The guild leader has visited Korea.”
“Why? No, where are you now?”
“That’s… We’re looking for people from the Korean branch.”
“How did you know that you entered the country?”
“As soon as they arrived, they said they stopped by the Korean branch manager to ask for directions. The guild leader told us to keep it a secret, but he’s telling us secretly, so don’t tell the guild leader…”
“… What a strange person.”
Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, head of the Korean branch.
He’s from the same academy, but he’s someone I don’t understand.
How can you ignore the guild leader’s words like that?
Have you considered your students as a professor?
TDDDDIC-
Just then, Sebastian’s smart watch rang loudly.
“Yeah, hey. Where is it? What?!”
Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he looked at his smart watch.
Judging from the fact that he glanced at Ellis during the phone call, it seems that his father had an accident.
After a while, Sebastian finished the call and looked carefully at Elise.
“…Lady. She is said to be on the shopping street side of the academy.”
“Haha, what is Daddy doing? He’s lost his way?”
Maybe I got lost trying to find it this way.
It was heredity that Ellis was gilchi.
Her father, Isaac, also often got confused on the road.
“I don’t think it’s like that… He said he was with Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”
“What? Why is Hoyeon here?”
Alice couldn’t help but panic.
Wouldn’t the two have anything to do with each other?
“I don’t know either. They say it’s the result of tracking magic… But since the barrier is strong, they don’t know the details…”
Ha.
This man becomes like this whenever he talks about his father.
What did you do while on active duty?
“Stop. Sebas-chan. Guide me quickly.”
“All right….”
I told you never to come
Besides, are you going to meet Lee Ho-yeon without telling me?
I guess I went to see it for a massage.
“… What do you do if you say you like me all the time?”
She’s like a crazy dad.
Elise slipped out of her mansion, her mood clear.
*
“… Pass.”
“…?”
‘What bullshit.’
She glanced at Isaac, then glanced at Scarlett behind her as well.
Scarlett met her eyes with mine, then she shook her head slightly.
Hearing her signal, I averted my eyes.
“Whoa…”
What the hell is going through
Have you tested my strength?
‘Why is the person I met for the first time today?’
‘Are you passing through as your son-in-law?’
A lot of thoughts came to my mind, but I didn’t dare to say them.
Because I didn’t want to go out.
If you wait, I’ll tell you directly.
“…”
“…”
However, the opponent was also not normal.
My breath, which had already been panting, returned to normal, and I began to feel awkward in this space where two men were making eye contact.
The two men were facing each other for more than 10 minutes. There’s no way this wouldn’t be awkward.
“… Who are you?”
Eventually, I opened my mouth first.
If it was Mine, he would have spat out words, but he couldn’t bear to speak plain words to Elise’s father.
“Did you know me before?”
Isaac looked at me with curious eyes and opened his mouth.
‘This person is handsome too.’
Perhaps because he is the father of pretty Alice, he is full of physical abilities.
I think this is what the popular blonde tanning bully will look like when he gets older.
‘I can’t pretend to know.’
In the first place, Isaac doesn’t often show his face like this.
This is because the guild leader of the information guild must be kept secret.
It means that he has some authority just because he actually knows Isaac.
But it is absurd for a mediocre cadet who is just starting to become famous to know the emperor of the night.
“I do not know.”
So I lied
A perk called [Clear Mental Power].
Thanks to that, I was confident in my calm acting.
“Hmm… Really? I guess so.”
Isaac nodded and looked at me slowly.
“… So who are you? What do you mean by pass?”
“Passed… That means you’ve exceeded my standards. Rejoice. Being one of the best guys in the world.”
“…”
Why is this man talking like this?
Has the middle 2 disease not been cured yet?
“And who I am is a secret. While the dark night watches over you…”
“Dad!”
I heard a high-pitched voice from behind Isaac, who was looking at me with his voice down and a strange form.
After confirming the identity of the voice, I had no choice but to open my eyes wide.
“I’m setting the mood right now, who… Huh?”
Isaac and Scarlett, of course, looked back and saw the blonde beauty approaching.
“I told you not to come!”
“Eh, Alice. How are you here…”
Ellis approached this way as if angry, sneaked out and met her eyes, and she let out a deep sigh.
Then he went straight up to Isaac and cut Isaac’s shin with the heel of his shoe.
“Ah, ah!”
Isaac didn’t even think to block his daughter’s feet with magic, so he grabbed his shin and rolled to the floor.
Uh
It hurts even when I look at it. How much does it hurt
“It hurts? Huh? I told you not to come.
“Mi-I’m sorry… I didn’t look through the papers until the end…”
“Dad, that’s the problem. Always doing what I do…”
How many minutes did you wait?
Scarlett and I watched the frightened Isaac getting scolded by Alice.
“Don’t you trust me that much? Do you think I’ll even turn my eyes to a man?”
“It’s not like that, Dad just…”
It’s not funny, and it’s also a little funny.
By the way, Scarlett was standing behind Isaac and looking at the scene seriously.
She wanted to make eye contact with Scarlett, but Scarlett didn’t look at me at all.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”
“Okay. I’m pissed off. I’m not going to talk to you anymore.”
“Eh, Alice. I’m sorry. What should Dad do…”
“I sincerely apologize for bowing my head to Ho-yeon, not me. He is the one who heals my illness. My father shouldn’t have acted like that.”
“Ellis. My father is the Iris guild leader. I’m not in a position where I can bow my head at will.”
Isaac straightened his hunched back, and he spoke confidently.
Is it like pride that can’t be bowed down?
“Then stop pretending you know. If you don’t apologize, I won’t talk to you.”
“Ellis…”
Isaac servilely bowed his waist again, as if asking when he had taken care of his pride.
Well done! Do well!
He’s more of a boyfriend than a father. Mum.
Isaac, who was proud of himself, looked blankly at Elise, who was turning her head with her arms crossed, then trudged away from her.
A truly lost face.
‘If I don’t apologize, I won’t talk to my dad.’ Did the word hurt that much?
Isaac bowed his head at me, his pride torn apart.
“I’m sorry… I’m the one who becomes Elise’s father, and I’m in charge of Iris’s guild leader. I was just curious about the man who gets close to her daughter. But I don’t know how to approach it… I’m really sorry…”
“… No. It’s fine.”
Kinda… Um. Something like that
Same with the current situation where I am being apologized to by Isaac.
As a father, no.
Because I’m not a father yet, as a man.
Do you think you can sympathize with the situation that hurts your self-esteem?
Isaac looked at me and turned her head slightly to Alice.
Tzzle-
However, she lowered her head again at the gaze of Ellis staring at her from the side.
“… If there’s anything you want, just tell me. As far as I can do… No, that doesn’t mean everything…”
“It’s okay…”
I stopped my mouth to say it was okay.
I got an opportunity like this, but I just can’t pass it up.
“…Then I have a favor to ask of you.”
Isaac swallowed, waiting for my next words.
“I want to investigate the centaur that appeared in France together.”
“… That’s about it. I can do it for you.”
Isaac licked his lips and smiled.
I was a little scared, but I can’t miss this opportunity.
I kept my composure and smiled as politely as possible.
*
Saying that this was not enough and that she had to personally apologize, Ellis took Lee Ho-yeon.
“Eh, Alice…”
Isaac was crying as he saw Alice disappearing across the alleyway.
“…”
Tired.
Scarlett thought.
I want to break up with this crazy human soon.
After a while, Alice’s figure disappeared completely.
Isaac returned his expression and smiled cheerfully as if nothing had happened.
“… Jeop. It’s a pity. In the end, you couldn’t show a single cool side of yourself. It’s been a while since I passed.”
“I’m sorry.”
Do you think it’s really cool?
Scarlett sometimes didn’t understand men.
“It was a lie.”
Isaac suddenly opened his mouth.
The corners of her mouth were still raised curiously.
“…”
Scarlett suddenly didn’t understand what Isaac was talking about, so she waited for the next words.
“Scarlett.”
“Yes.
“Is there any possibility that information about my identity could have flowed into Lee Ho-yeon?”
“There is not.”
That can be said
I don’t know exactly how far Lee Ho-yeon reasoned.
Maybe her story about Alice’s massage gave her the idea that the Emperor of the Night was going to attack.
So she may have dropped herself.
However, she asserts that there is no way to know information about her identity.
“Hmm… So, did you judge it based on the situation? That’s not too bad. It doesn’t matter anyway, since your ability is so good.”
Isaac muttered meaningful words in front of Scarlett, then looked back at Scarlett.
“Scarlett.”
“Yes.”
Scarlett hung her head, waiting for Isaac to speak.
Seeing that he had a good expression, he didn’t seem angry.
“That, you watch yourself.”
“… Yes?”
“Lee Ho-yeon. Lee Ho-yeon.”
It seems like nothing.
Isaac took out a cigarette, bit into it, and lit it with the tips of his fingers.
“Elisse and I keep glancing at you during our conversation. He seems interested in you. Or do you just like blondes?”
Scarlett’s eyes widened at Isaac’s sudden words.
And Isaac, who read the reaction, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
“Why, don’t you like it?”
“No. I’ll do it.”
‘Thank god.’
Scarlett stroked her chest inside her.
Just in case, I didn’t even react to Lee Ho-yeon’s eye greeting.
Because he knew best that the man in front of him was a monster.
When you’re in the same space as Isaac, you shouldn’t be even a little careless.
‘I’ll have to tell Hoyeon-nim next time.’
If she had even received Lee Ho-yeon’s eye contact, she would have been suspicious for nothing.
“Yes. That’s a monster. No matter how good you are at stealth, you can always be caught, so be careful.”
“… Yes. I will be careful.”
It’s late. Guild Master.
No matter how careful you are, you will get caught.
Besides, I was already caught and my body and mind were remodeled.
Scarlett lowered her head as she recalled her own absurd predicament.
In order not to notice the corner of her mouth that was slightly raised unintentionally.
