Chapter 345 – Chapter 345. Chiron (2)
When Lee Ho-yeon was having a typhoon-like day.
At Victoria Academy in Korea, final exams were in full swing, and students were chatting in groups of twos and threes in the student cafeteria during lunchtime.
“I hate exams!”
“I can’t believe it’s over now…”
“Who wants to eat kimchi fried rice?!”
Noisy student cafeteria as always.
In this place full of students’ voices, two cadets that all first-year students know appeared.
“It’s so annoying…! Whose idea is to take an alternative exam for a week?!”
“Cheer up, Lucy.”
Two beautiful twins who glanced at every passer-by entered the restaurant.
Lucy and Rumi, who came to the cafeteria after their morning note-taking class, sat side by side as usual and started complaining.
“This is student hate…!”
“Still, wouldn’t we be more comfortable than Mr. Hoyeon?”
“…But that’s it. Ha ha.”
Of course, most of them were Lucy’s complaints, and Rumi’s role was to listen.
Lucy sighed deeply as she poked the omurice with a spoon.
“Lee Ho-yeon isn’t coming, and the academy is exam period. What fun should we live for? Rumi.”
“Hoyeon seems to be busy too. He seems to have caught a centaur on the news.”
“Originally, I would have asked about the test questions while eating like now.”
“… Wouldn’t it be good for Lucy to study more normally?”
“But studying is hard. Huh? Rumi. Look over there.”
Then, Lucy saw a woman in her field of vision.
A woman who feels like an adult, not like a student.
Full of a cool and neat feeling, she slowly walked into the restaurant looking at her smart watch.
“Um, over there… It’s Nam Da-eun.”
“Huh? That’s right. It’s Miss Eun.”
Nam Da-eun, who is now called a genius prosecutor along with Lee Ho-yeon, whose skills have increased rapidly these days.
She seemed to be eating alone, as always.
“Should Da-eun ask to eat together? You ate alone every day.”
“That’s true… But will Miss Da-eun like us?”
In fact, one-sided approach was enough.
Nam Da-eun might actually be more comfortable being alone.
“Is that so? Besides, we’re rivals.”
“Still, we decided to be friends…”
“Come to think of it, the last time I spoke to you, it didn’t seem like you hated us.”
“… Yes.”
As Lucy and Rumi thought, Nam Da-eun did not hate the twins.
She rather thought she felt like a cute little sister.
“Ah, I don’t know! Let’s just go.”
“… I see. Lucy, fighting!”
“Why are you fighting? You should also talk.”
“Ah Okay….”
The twins approached Nam Da-eun after a short thought.
*
“… Ha ha.”
Nam Da-eun held back her yawn as she entered the restaurant as she checked the news.
[Centaur finally captured?! Great performance of Korean genius wizard]
[French government. Lee Ho-yeon is highly recommended as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize]
[Genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon nominated for the Magic Dor award?!]
‘It’s a huge uproar.’
I’ve seen some exaggerated news, but at least the report about the centaur being captured is true.
Then she means she will come back to Korea soon.
It makes me feel good just thinking about it.
“Hey, look at this. Lee Ho-yeon is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize.”
“Ugh. Do you believe that? It’s just aggro.”
“But it’s really world class. Can I become like that when I graduate?”
“Yes. No. Will that work?”
Nam Da-eun smiled heartily as she listened to the voices around her.
Seeing Lee Ho-yeon, who is becoming more and more famous, made her feel strange.
She is both happy and sad.
My little Lee Ho-yeon has grown so big.
‘Of course it was huge from the beginning.’
She was already such a huge person from the first time she saved herself.
Nam Da-eun received the food and sat down, thinking of Lee Ho-yeon.
I didn’t reply to the message today, probably because I was busy after catching the centaur, but I’ll be back as soon as possible.
Yum.
Nam Da-eun put her beef bowl into her mouth.
It is the cheapest and most delicious menu in the student cafeteria, in a word, good value for money.
Liliana and Lee Ho-yeon made good money, and even received a card telling them to buy as much as they wanted, but she always ate cheap menus.
She can’t get in the habit of wasting money she didn’t earn.
It’s something I always emphasize to Dahee.
“… When are you coming?”
Nam Da-eun felt lonely after a long time.
A feeling she has never felt since she met him and got away from the Buyers Guild.
After Lee Ho-yeon disappeared, her loneliness returned.
At that time, it was rather okay because it was an emotion she felt every day, but it was even more difficult because she didn’t have it.
She thought she could last for about a week, but the very next day, her heart felt empty.
With Da-hee, she couldn’t show herself being lonely, and Da-eun Nam only kept her loneliness in her heart.
“Do you want to eat together?”
“Da, Da-eun, would you like to eat together?”
At that time, familiar faces sat in front of Nam Da-eun.
It was Lucy and Rumi.
“I’m bored without Lee Ho-yeon. Let’s eat together.”
“That’s right… Poetry, did you pass the exam well?! Hehe.”
She must have been nervous, but at the end of her words, Nam Da-eun laughed incredulously when she saw Rumi who threw her voice away.
These twins were always cute.
She hates to think of herself as a competitor.
“…Then shall we eat together?”
Sometimes this is good too.
She’s not friendly for him, but sometimes for herself.
Da-eun Nam smiled at her new friends.
*
“…”
“…”
Scarlett and I stared blankly at Chiron.
It was because Chiron had suddenly praised the Maestro.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why can’t humans beat the maestro?”
“He’s… Not like other humans.”
Chiron seemed to be thinking about something.
Maybe she’s what happened in Pandemic.
“What’s different? Wait a minute, isn’t this guy still brainwashed?”
I ran over Chiron’s body with the rune’s barrier.
But there was no brainwashing left of her.
But why are you yelling at me?
“It’s not brainwashing. Yes. If I had to compare it, it was similar to the energy I felt from the demon king.”
“Devil…?”
Why is the demon king suddenly appearing?
“Ruler of the Hell. He was destined from the beginning to be the ruler of Hell.
“… Am I the only one who doesn’t understand what you’re talking about?”
“I didn’t understand either.”
Doing divination is pseudoscience.
Scarlett was also making an expression of disapproval, and Liliana was completely dozing off.
… I should just go back and sleep.
“Hey. But the demon king is your father. Why are you talking like someone else?”
Actually, it’s been on my mind since yesterday.
No matter how much a king is, he is his own father, so why is he called like someone else?
“The Demon King only wanted my mother’s body.”
“… Just in case, your mother must have been a centaur too, right?”
“Of course. My mother was the most beautiful woman in the clan.”
A demon king who takes both a succubus queen and a centaur at the same time.
Hell is a very scary place.
“Besides my mother, he has many other women. I cannot call such a man my father.”
“…”
For some reason, it seemed that Scarlett was glaring at me from the side, so I met Chiron’s eyes without turning my head.
“Keuheum. So, what is that energy or fate? Could it be that it’s just your sense?”
“… No. The same fate I felt for the demon king, I also felt for that human Maestro. Destiny flows through him. The world, no, the sky is helping him.”
“So how do you know that?”
“It’s a feeling.”
“…”
Is it bullshit after all?
But I think I know roughly what it means.
The villains you saw in the original game will continue to be villains, and the good people will continue to feel similar to being good.
Perhaps the Maestro was also born with that fate.
“I can’t stand it anymore! Let’s go quickly!”
“Calm down, Liliana. Go back to the necklace for now.”
“The succubus has become noisy too. Go back now. It’s tiring to have humans come and ask for information whenever you have a spare time.”
Chiron also expressed his intention to leave.
It seems that the members of the Iris Guild are constantly interrogating you.
I finally asked Chiron.
“Chiron. Aren’t you vengeful toward Liliana?”
That’s something I’ve always wondered about.
If I were Chiron, I’d want to kill Liliana as soon as I saw her.
The misery I felt from that memory was still with me.
“The memories you saw. That’s already 40 years ago by human standards. Emotions have also been diluted a lot.”
“…Then how old are you?”
You said Liliana’s younger sister.
Could it be that you experienced such a memory at the age before entering kindergarten?
“It’s rude to ask a woman’s age, but she’s rude.”
“Were you a woman?!”
Nonsense.
As I opened my mouth in shock at Chiron’s remark, two women blocked the way between me and Chiron.
“Where is this bastard doing his tricks!”
“Don’t come close! Keep your distance too!”
“…What the hell do you think of me? I like humans.”
I shook my head as I saw Liliana and Scarlett blocking my way.
Liliana came to her senses in an instant at the subject she had just been dozing off on.
Why are you doing this to me
“It’s a lie. If I were a woman, I’d have feelings for Killer Queen. Because females are very jealous.”
“… Yes. Do what you want.”
Now it’s annoying
Just gotta get out
I feel like I’m going to lose my mind if I stay here any longer.
“Besides, that’s not the Killer Queen I know. Killing a succubus that has already lost everything doesn’t refresh my heart. Revenge means nothing unless I personally bring the Killer Queen to its knees with my own power. That’s Wild Gladiator. . I am the pride of Chiron.”
“…”
I thought as I watched Chiron speak confidently about his beliefs.
‘That’s crazy.’
It would have been really cool if it hadn’t been about Killer Queen and Wild.
*
“It’s ambiguous.”
“… Yeah. I didn’t get much of Liliana’s past after all.”
We left Chiron alone and went outside.
I had heard a lot about hell, but there were no cool answers.
Of course, he got a lot of small information and cured Liliana’s homesickness, who was curious about hell.
Compared to her hard work, the problem is that it is regrettable, but the result itself was fine.
‘This is fine. I also have a source of information.’
It is also good that there is a window where you can ask about the Demon King at any time.
Because the Apostle of Pandemic may reappear.
“What will Chiron do?”
“Let’s leave it alone for now. Don’t beg for it, just report that if you ask gently, he’ll tell you everything.”
“All right.”
If you get a chance, it would be nice to manage Chiron yourself.
Because she is a strong force and knows a lot about hell.
I’ll have to tell Isaac about this one more time.
– I want to go to sleep soon… Ha ha.
“I’m sleepy too.”
Hearing Liliana’s yawn made me too tired.
Now is the time to really rest.
“You want to go to bed already? It’s evening now.”
“… Can you let me sleep? The schedule was so tight today.”
“I want to sleep with you too.”
“… Let’s sleep together.”
Scarlett snuggled up next to me and looked up at me.
She has a foxy smile, and I can’t wait to see what she’s trying to say.
“Are you really thinking of doing it yourself?”
“…”
I looked at the smiling Scarlett and nodded her head slightly, and Scarlett finally fell from my side.
Okay.
I’m not tired for a day or two, and I don’t think I’ll fall behind if I go to bed late.
