Chapter 280 – Chapter 280. Lee Ho-Yeon Harem Plan! (3)
France’s Iris Guild.
The news of Ellis coming back after a long time had spread to the guild members as well.
It was because of the information that one more cadet besides Ellis was coming to the field training.
“Come to think of it, did you hear? I heard that one more person besides Alice is coming this time? It was Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Who else is that?”
“Yes. A genius wizard who has become famous these days. You need to be interested in society.”
“What are you saying? How many times have you said that you’re weird…”
Again and again-
“Is everyone comfortable with their work?”
Then there was a woman who interrupted her men’s talk.
A proud beauty with her flowing blonde hair down to her waist and eyes like red rubies.
Although she looked like she was in her early twenties, her position was the highest level of team leader among the team leaders of the Iris Guild.
Her name is Irene. The daughter of the guild leader and assistant guild leader, she was like heaven to the regular guild members of the Iris Guild.
“T-chief! No! Sorry!”
“What are you doing all of a sudden? Be comfortable.”
Irene smiled at her guildmate who corrected her posture and walked away.
It was only after the figure completely disappeared that the guild members relaxed.
“Whoa, whoa… I was surprised.”
“Tsk tsk. Be careful. It’s business hours.”
“Still, I’m glad you’re Team Leader. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right. He always laughs when I hear about Lady Elise. In a way, he’s supposed to be a competitor… He doesn’t have that sense at all. Because we’re family.”
“Well, let’s get to work.”
Meanwhile.
-Hehe.
Singing her hum, Irene came into her team leader’s office and sat on her sofa, crossing her legs.
There was a huge full-length mirror in front of the sofa, and Irene looked at herself in the mirror and poured a glass of wine.
She loved the beautiful
Except for being told that she was pretty from an early age, she was just an ordinary girl who liked princess dolls and cute dresses.
But one day, after looking at herself in her mirror, she found the most beautiful thing in the world, and that’s how she fell in love with herself.
She did that the year she turned 8.
Ellis, her younger brother, was born.
At first, she wasn’t very interested in her brother.
It was far more important for her to decorate herself more perfectly and prettier.
Her sad fact is that she can’t marry herself. Irene liked that she was beautiful, but she hated being lonely.
But that worry was soon over.
This was when her younger sister, Elise, was old enough to walk.
– Sister- Look at this!
“Ellis. Her sister is busy…”
Ellis runs all over the place and offers flowers to impress her older sister, who is not interested in her.
Only then did Irene realize.
Red ruby-like eyes. She’s still cute, but when she grows up, she’s sure to be her own little sister.
Here, there was someone as beautiful as me.
That was her Irene childhood.
Sniffling-
Irene watched her reflection in her mirror like her TV and enjoyed the scent of her wine.
Elise’s favorite wine is Chateau d’Ichem.
At the same time, she pulled out a photo that she researched with her smartwatch.
It was a picture of Alice with Lee Ho-yeon.
Irene let out a sigh of regret as she looked at her picture.
“If it had been a woman, she would have been… Perfect.”
When I first saw her picture, even she was taken aback.
Lee Ho-yeon, the man standing next to Alice.
He was to the extent that Irene, a narcissist, was quite okay.
However, he fell a little short of Irene’s standards.
Except for herself, the only person she loved was Alice.
The problem is not whether Lee Ho-yeon is good-looking or not.
“Hmm… It’s not just one or two suspicious things.”
Talk- Talk-
Irene, who was touching the photo with her fingernails, frowned at her.
I heard that she was Elise’s masseuse, but in fact, it was very annoying from that point on.
Of course, because of Elise’s personality, for no reason she wouldn’t allow a man to body her, so she must be an effective masseuse.
Even his father, Isaac, went to Korea himself and came back sullen, so that’s for sure.
Okay. All good.
But why did that man join the centaur tracking team?
Even when he asked his father Isaac, he only averted his eyes and did not tell the reason until the end.
“For now… I guess we can meet.”
It would be something to ask directly to Ellis or Lee Ho-yeon.
It’s been a long time since I saw my lovely brother.
Irene sipped the wine in her hand and put down her smartwatch.
*
A hospital room at the Victoria Academy.
“I don’t understand. Really…”
Elise lay in her hospital room, grunting and venting her anger.
The magic circuits in her whole body were throbbing with pain.
Fortunately, she received some measures, but Elise’s congenital magical disorder was still an unknown disease, so she was just a makeshift solution for her.
Her actual pain was barely abated.
There is only one way to get rid of this pain.
She had no choice but to dissolve the natural mana she absorbed little by little into her body for several days.
That is, absolute stability.
“… Whoa.”
It was annoying to have to stay in her hospital room for several more days, but it was a different topic that was racking Elise’s head right now.
“How are you doing?”
After being debriefed by Sebastian, Elise felt uncomfortable not only in her body but also in her mind.
How the hell did you cook and boil Munsurin?
A little selfish, but… She threw a large stone into the lake of the student body president, who was pure herself.
She must have thought that a great stir had occurred.
But why did Mun Su-rin’s expression, after visiting Lee Ho-yeon in the hospital, look so happy?
Alice couldn’t understand.
‘I don’t know why,’ she said, ‘why do I fall for that playboy’s touch one by one.’
She must have forgotten that she had a crush on her before, and Elise lay down and shook her head.
“Ah…”
Although she quit right away because of the pain she felt in her neck.
Smart tock-
She heard Elise knock as she held back tears at the pain she felt in her throat.
“Ellis, sorry for the late hour. Are you up?”
“…”
They say tigers will come when I say it, so the timing is scary.
It was Lee Ho-yeon’s voice.
Elise pondered for a moment whether she should pretend to sleep, then she opened her mouth.
“Come in.”
There was no particular reason.
She was sick and couldn’t sleep, and she wondered what she was talking about.
Lee Ho-yeon, who opened the door and entered, quietly closed the door and approached the bed.
“Are you okay?”
Then, naturally, she sat down in the patient’s chair.
Seeing that, Ellis replied bluntly.
“…You can see it. What are you doing at this late hour?”
“I’m sorry I’m late. I came because you were worried because you said you were hurt because of me.”
“…”
Knowing that, coming to you should have been your number one priority.
‘What are you thinking.’
Ellis calmed the bitter jealousy that welled up in her heart.
She did not seek Lee Ho-yeon to gain recognition.
It’s just that Lee Ho-yeon was the only one who could treat her congenital magical disorder, so she tried hard.
“I was worried because he said he was in serious condition… But I guess I get it. It’s a recoil.”
Lee Ho-yeon scanned Alice’s body and then nodded.
The mana circuits in Elise’s body shrunk because she forced her mana out.
It must have been extremely painful in that state, but Alice with a resolute expression on her face was amazing.
It’s probably a rebound from a congenital magical disorder.
In order to save me, I forcibly drew out more mana than the limit, so this is what happened.
“Yes. It’s a rebound. And it’s not really to save you… Go back and rest. You’re a patient too.”
Ellis did not want others to see her lying helpless.
Especially if it was Lee Ho-yeon, not someone else.
“Should I touch it myself and put some mana into it? Then the pain would be less.”
“… No it’s okay.”
Elise closed her eyes and refused.
In fact, she was in quite a bit of pain, so she wanted to beg me to touch her right away, but she didn’t want to see Lee Ho-yeon today.
Her strange pride kicked in.
However, Lee Ho-yeon did not just move on.
★ Heroine Status Window
[Ellis]
– [ Likeability : 75 ]
– [ Sex drive : 85 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue : 70 ]
Current Status: Sick, but annoying.
‘Why is he like this again?’
The one that didn’t find himself first.
And getting along with Moon Soo-rin.
There were many other causes, but of course Lee Ho-yeon could not guess any of them.
It’s just that her pride kicked in again. She just thought
“It hurts a lot. What if I’m hospitalized during field experience training?”
“…Don’t worry, it’ll be better by then.”
“No no no. Just stay still.”
“Ha, I said don’t do it?! Oops…”
Lee Ho-yeon put his hand on her arm without asking her permission.
Ellis tried to raise her arm for a moment, but the pain that came over her made her arm twitch slightly.
“Look. My body can’t move properly. What? Just stay still.”
“No, don’t… It’s big…”
Despite Alice’s resistance, Lee Ho-yeon did not stop her hand.
Pressing each one of her fingers unraveled her mana circuits.
“Oh, I’m sorry…”
Ellis didn’t show it, but she was terribly surprised.
Every time Lee Hoyeon touched her, she felt her pain lessen in real time.
After she tingles very slightly, her pain goes away.
“Ah, ha…”
“Yeah. That’s good. It’ll be over soon, so bear with it.”
“…”
Alice bit her lip and looked at Lee Ho-yeon with her resentful eyes.
Her tone of voice annoyed me, as if she saw herself as a child.
“You, ah, hot…”
But as I passed her hand, touched her arm, and reached her shoulder, where a lot of her mana and her circuits were clumped together, Elise squinted her eyes.
Because the pain you feel is getting worse and worse.
Of course, the pain went away permanently after a while, but the pain was too great.
“Now, sleep. Wait a minute… Ah, it hurts…”
“Oh, did it hurt too much?”
Lee Ho-yeon, who was pressing Elise’s shoulder, hurriedly removed her hand.
If Alice, who has a strong sense of pride, says that, she must be really sick.
“Haa… Whoa….”
“But, doesn’t your arm hurt anymore?”
“… Yes.”
Alice answered while avoiding Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes.
I didn’t like agreeing with what this man was saying, but the pain was definitely lessened.
“If it hurts too much, take it slow. You can take a break and do it tomorrow.”
“…Then take a little break and do it. About half of it tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes.”
Lee Ho-yeon laughed and chatted with Alice.
Alice felt something strange about her.
She was jealous of herself, but Lee Ho-yeon was giving her a massage, genuinely worried about herself.
At that interval, she felt a little embarrassed.
“What’s wrong? Are you sick again?”
“… No. Ha ha.”
Elise opened her eyes tightly to let go of her gloom.
Okay.
I also struggled and saved my life, but I can do that.
Let’s act a little more confidently.
Ellis pretended to be nothing, and she said her words calmly.
“Would you like to talk to me for a moment? Didn’t I tell you about the Iris Guild? Right now, in a few days, I’ll be leaving for the Iris Guild.”
“Oh, it’d be nice if you could tell me! I still wanted to ask you something.”
Lee Ho-yeon nodded his head and responded with a smile, like a puppy following his master.
It’s really not a big deal, but seeing the happy man in front of me made me a little happy.
With this strange feeling in her heart, Ellis continued her words.
