Chapter 164 – Chapter 164. Social Party
“Eh, eh… Uncle Mingyu…?”
“… Yes. That’s not the end. From the time you were hospitalized, Da-eun has…”
Since I was still a child, I didn’t want to let people know the ugly truth.
However, ‘Park Min-gyu used you as an excuse to ask for Da-eun Nam’s body.’ There was no reason to kidnap Nam Da-hee, other than the sense of gravity.
If I don’t explain properly, it will be like bringing a child who is hospitalized for nothing.
At first, she didn’t believe it, but when Scarlett brought some evidence of the guild leader threatening Nam Da-eun, Nam Da-hee was convinced.
In the end, Nam Da-hee covered her mouth with her hand and started to sob.
“Sister… Black. I trusted Mr. Mingyu….”
“… Scarlett.”
A crying girl is hard to soothe.
It’s not my specialty, so I called Scarlett, the master of babysitting.
“Miss Dahee, it’s okay.”
Pat Pat.
“Would you like some chicken?”
Liliana brought a chicken leg and gave it to Dahee Nam.
Hem.
“…It’s delicious.”
Nam Da-hee, who was holding a chicken leg, brightened her expression slightly.
“That’s right? This is renewed chicken.”
Fortunately, thanks to the pretty sisters, she seems to be at ease.
While Dahee Nam calmed down, Liliana looked at me and asked.
“So, what is he going to do?”
“I’m going to stay here for a while.”
The buyer’s guild will soon notice that Dahee Nam has disappeared.
Before that, you need to get Nam Da-eun out of the buyer’s guild, and at the same time break the evidence Kang Hyo-rin will bring.
Next…. I honestly didn’t think.
Wouldn’t it be better if I let him stay with Nam Da-eun? Of course, it’s safe to stay like this in my dormitory, but…
Liliana and Scarlett won’t be good for children’s emotions.
‘Somehow it feels like more and more people are in the dormitory.’
Should I buy a new house?
First of all, I thought about the house later, and the biggest worry disappeared, so I prepared for tomorrow’s party.
A special order suit for a party.
Since it was a party I went to with Baek Ah-young, I didn’t want to be ignored, so I ordered a fairly expensive outfit.
Moon Su-rin is also coming, so you should be more careful.
– Me: Mr. Ayoung. Where shall we meet tomorrow?
The preparations are over, so all you have to do is make an appointment.
I sent a message to Baek A-young.
– Baek Ah-yeong: Let’s meet in front of the party. Tomorrow will be incredibly complicated.
– Me: I see. See you tomorrow.
Hmm.
I made an appointment with Baek A-young, and all I have to do is wait for the party tomorrow.
But something was unsettling.
You should do everything you can to prepare.
“Scarlett. Come here.”
“Yes?”
I called Scarlett who was playing with Dahee Nam.
I thought about how to act, but I decided to take out insurance just in case.
*
Saturday.
I went to the party hall to participate in the party.
I was able to meet Baek A-young right away.
I thought I would come dressed up as it was a party, but it was my usual work attire.
Well, I usually wear a suit to work, so this is a neat attire.
Anyway, she’s always pretty, so it’s not strange at all to go to a party like this.
“There are so many people.”
“Sure. It’s a party like this before, but this time it’s worse.”
We were some distance away from the party.
The front of the party was full of ordinary people and reporters who came to see celebrities.
What, how great a person is coming?
I understand wanting to see celebrities, but it’s a bit strange that there are so many people.
“Let’s turn around and go.”
Baek Ah-young pointed to the back door of the party, not the front door.
“Why? You can go through the front door.”
“The front gate is crowded with reporters. If you go there, you will get a lot of interview requests and a lot of pictures.”
“How are you?”
What do you mean, the person who spread dating rumors with me a few days ago to get attention, now comes back and says he doesn’t like attention?
I took Baek Ah-young by the hand and led her to the front door.
“I, oh, no! Are you taking pictures?”
“Sometimes he does strange interviews and makes people in trouble, and then runs away as he pleases. Ah-young must be in trouble too.”
“That, that was just a mistake…”
Baek Ah-young, whose voice was getting quieter, headed for the front door.
Click! Click!
I could hear the sound of shutters at the front door and the entrance where celebrities enter.
“Hey, over there, the saintess and Lee Ho-yeon!”
“Oh, you really came together!”
Some people have already noticed this.
Perhaps Baek A-young felt that it was too late to go back now, so she lowered her head.
“Let’s go, Mr. Ayoung.”
“This, this… Uh…”
It’s kind of cute to suddenly take it out in a place where there are a lot of people.
After laughing, she passed between the reporters, dragging Baek Ah-young’s arm.
There were reporters who were talking to the camera while filming us, and there were reporters who pointed their microphones directly at me.
“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! Just say one word! What kind of relationship do you have with the saintess! Are you really dating?”
“It’s the first time I’ve appeared on an official ship, so please give me an interview!”
It’s very upsetting.
I cannot directly say that I am dating Baek Ah-young. Because other heroines have to care.
Since I came with Baek A-young, I cannot deny it.
You just have to get past it in moderation.
“Let’s pose together and take a picture.”
“… Yes.”
“Don’t be nervous.”
“How could you be so calm… This is the first time you’ve been like this.”
Baek Ah-young thought I was strange.
Because of my [Distinct mental strength], No matter how many people there are, I can relax as long as I put my mind to it.
“Hey, he’s a good guy.”
“Ha….”
I grabbed Baek Ah-young’s hand and headed towards her entrance.
Right before entering the entrance, we turned around and took our stance.
If it’s going to appear in an article, it’s better to appear pretty.
It’s going to be photo time.
‘Oh, it’s dazzling.’
After barely enduring the burst of flash, we entered the party hall.
“Baek Ah-young and her companion. Admission confirmed. Please enjoy it.”
Baek Ah-young’s invitation was handed out to an association employee who was waiting inside, and she was guided inside.
The party had already started.
In fact, it’s a friendly party, just a drinking party to chat while drinking.
There is only a little formality.
As soon as we entered, people’s eyes were drawn this way.
Cook.
“Turn it off?!”
I felt Baek Ah-young’s body stiffen, so I stabbed her in the side.
“Because I’m not nervous.”
Since it was a party hosted by the association, some of Baek Ah-young’s former co-workers were also seen.
“Ah-young~.”
Then, a voice that did not suit a formal party was heard.
It was Min Ye-ji who came this way.
“Yeah…You’re here too.”
“Of course you should come. My Ah-yeong and…”
Min Ye-ji’s eyes turned to me.
The smile on the cat’s face is pretty, but something was burdensome.
“There is Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. Nice to meet you. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. This is the first time I’ve spoken properly, right?”
“Hello. I should have said hello earlier, but I’m sorry.”
Minyeji also made an announcement for my defense and took the lead.
Of course, they must act with their own purpose, but being thankful means being thankful.
Thanks to Min Ye-ji talking to her first, people who couldn’t come approached one by one.
“Ayoung. Long time no see. How is the academy?”
“Ah… The academy isn’t bad either. Of course, the association was good too.”
Baek Ah-young also started talking to people she knew.
“Hoyeonah.”
“?”
When I turned around at the voice calling for me, I saw slick platinum hair.
It was Moon Su-rin, wearing a neat dress.
“Surin noona! Seeing it from here, it’s very new.”
“Yeah. I didn’t expect to see you here either.”
Several young men were standing in the direction where Moon Su-rin came from.
It looks like we just had a conversation.
“Who is there…?”
“Ah… You don’t have to worry about it. They’re the first people I’ve seen here. They’re after my partner.”
“Oh, noona is popular as expected.”
She gave a winner’s smile to the men who were holding a glass of wine one by one from behind and looking this way.
“Whoops, thank you.”
I also enjoyed the party with a glass in hand and a conversation with Mun Surin.
I don’t drink, but everyone was holding it, so it seemed like I had to listen to it too.
“Hello, Mr. Yangho. I’ll call you Baek Ah-young from here.”
“Ah… Hello, Miss Moon Su-rin.”
Moon Soo-rin greeted Baek Ah-young.
The two formed a bond during the last dungeon practice.
Because it was Moon Su-rin who discovered us first.
“This is the first time I’ve had a proper conversation since coming to the academy as a good teacher.”
“Yes. She is always grateful to Miss Munsoo Lin. I heard she said good things about me.”
The conversation between the two was good.
Since we work at the same job, it would be natural.
“Yes. But I never knew there was such a purpose.”
Moon Soo-rin smiled and she looked at me and Baek A-yeong alternately.
… Wasn’t the atmosphere nice?
“Ah… That’s not like that.”
“Haha… But if you spread false information like that, we are tired from our position. Please be careful.”
“Huh, false facts…”
Baek Ah-yeong couldn’t follow her words and she looked at me.
No, what if you see me now? Mr Ah Young.
“Oh my, is it different from what I heard? Hoyeonah?”
“… It’s a little too much to say it’s false. She didn’t openly say that they were dating. She just made misleading comments.”
Hearing my words, Baek Ah-young became sullen.
But she can’t even say she’s dating here. What if she gets disappointed?

‘Sorry. Mr. Ayoung.’
Moon Su-rin also did not continue the sharper conversation.
After that, a normal, peaceful conversation ensued.
I don’t know how it actually is, but that’s what I felt.
Anyway, I looked around to see if there was anyone who could be of help to me. Even during the conversation, I saw some familiar faces.
Do Jin-hyeok, an extra in Class A, or Kim Hyeon-do, the head of the magic research department.
Familiar bad performances came into view.
‘They were there too.’
I had so much work that I forgot.
Every time they made eye contact with me, they frowned and averted their eyes.
Well, now that I’m too big, I can’t help it.

“Turn it off… Oops.”
Quadduk-!
Shin Dong-min was watching the video being filmed by the camera of his subordinates hiding in the party.
Pujijik- Puduk-!
Unstoppable changes were beginning in his body.
It was a demonic flower swallowed by a magic stone.
Shin Dong-min, who entered the path of the devil while in contact with the pandemic, could no longer control his body.
Wriggling wriggling.
“It’s still… It’s still okay.”
Not knowing that his body was already damaged, he looked at the screen.
The sight of Moon Soo-rin and Lee Ho-yeon laughing and conversing further accelerated his anger.
That seat should have been mine.
The main character of the party had to be me, and the seat next to Moon Surin had to be me.
“Lee Ho-yeon…And even Baek A-young.”
Shin Dong-min opened his eyes and ordered the man of the pandemic waiting behind him.
“Start in two hours.”
“Yes. I will tell Rebecca.”
Pandemic’s ability was definitely great.
I would do anything if you gave me money.
This time, he said that he would provide a barrier that covered the entire party hall.
Although he has spent almost all the money his father gave him, he is fine. After this terror is over, Lee Ho-yeon will also fall into the abyss.
Shin Dong-min raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
‘It’s not long. I’ll see if I can still smile like that in two hours….’
*
“Oh, it’s hard.”
Starting with Min Ye-ji, most of the guild members greeted and left.
Even if I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t because Baek Ah-yeong and Moon Su-rin were right next to me, so I was managing my image.
‘I think I said hello almost 100 times.’
The good news is that you don’t have to strain yourself to remember the name.
It’s all just listening anyway.
Now, he ran away to go to the bathroom for a while.
As I headed towards the bathroom, I arrived at the first place I saw.
As the party hall was large, there were many people who hadn’t seen it yet, but there were many people who were seeing it for the first time here.
Haha… That’s right, President.”
“As expected, it’s President Park. Come to think of it, is the lady next to you the new secretary?”
“Yes, yes, Chairman. Something similar.”
As I looked around, I involuntarily turned my head to the sound of conversation I heard.
And there was the person I was looking for.
‘Found.’
A dark corner of the party hall.
Nam Da-eun was standing behind an old man.
I don’t understand why the MC is playing hide and seek…. I don’t think the FMCs are yanderes that are extremely jealous.. He even said they are open-minded… To be honest, the MC looks a incompetent…..
