Chapter 321 – Chapter 321. Lunch
“It looks delicious. Scarlett, doesn’t it?”
“…”
I swallowed as I watched the hot soup steaming in front of me.
“I never thought there would be a Korean restaurant in the middle of France. You should have told me earlier.”
“…Not a place for escorting women.”
“Why? What’s the difference between pasta and rice soup?”
“…”
If pasta is a date course for Koreans, isn’t rice soup a date course for French people?
In front of Scarlett was my recommended menu, Cheese Soft Tofu Stew.
Actually, I made it because I wanted to try it.
It had a lot of cheese on it, so it looked like steamed egg custard on the outside, but the steam came out and it looked very delicious.
“I’ll just take a bite of soft tofu.”
“… This is my food.”
“Mah! That’s Korean affection. Mmm~ It’s delicious.”
“Ah….”
I wondered if cheese soft tofu was right for me, but the taste of the firm tofu and cheese mixing in my mouth was good.
Scarlett looked at me with her mouth open as she watched me eat soft tofu, and it was so much fun because she looked different than usual.
I’ll have to stop playing around though.
I came to eat together, but I can’t make you pout.
At this rate, Scarlett might hate Korea.
“Why am I in a place like this when I went to a good place with other women?”
“Hey. Don’t ignore the Korean restaurant. This place even got a Michelin star.”
“…I didn’t mean it that way. I just wish it was a little more atmospheric.”
Scarlett sighed as she ate her soft tofu.
“It tastes good, but that makes it even more annoying.”
“Yes. It’s really delicious.”
Why is it that eating here tastes better than eating in Korea?
The rich broth was dancing in your mouth.
I think it’s because I ate grains of rice instead of just bread every day.
This is the heart of Korean food.
After concentrating on eating for a while, I opened my mouth first.
“I’ll take you to a more upscale place on our next date, Ms. Scarlett.”
“Why are you using that tone all of a sudden? Besides, I never said this was a date.”
Scarlett shook her head with a determined expression and ate her soft tofu.
Is she doing that because she is dissatisfied with coming to eat soup?
If that’s the case, I have something to say.
“Why? We’re likeable, and we’re in a state where we just need to cross the line.”
“Ke-hup! Coke! Coke!”
As soon as Scarlett heard me, she dropped her spoon on her table and started coughing.
I meant to make fun of him, but he reacted so badly that I was worried.
… Was it too much?
“Scarlett. Are you okay?”
“Collock. Yes, it’s okay. Where did you hear that information? No, there must be only one. You went to the guild leader’s call yesterday.”
“The guild leader didn’t tell me first. I asked.”
“… I didn’t know that the world’s Iris Guild could leak information so easily.
I shielded my future father-in-law, but to no avail.
Scarlett covered her mouth with a napkin as if embarrassed, as if she was ashamed of the slight blush on her face.
“As you probably already know, I only did it because it made the mission easier when I reported it like that.”
“Really? It’s a pity.”
“…Don’t push and pull with me.”
Scarlett clenched her fists in resentment, and I raised the corner of her mouth to check Scarlett’s status window.
★ Heroine Status Window
[Scarlett]
– [ Likeability: 80 ]
– [ Sex drive : 55 ]
– [ Appetite : 30 ]
– [ Fatigue : 50 ]
Current Status: What to do with this madman… Still, the soft tofu is delicious.
‘Every time I see it, I’m really scared inside.’
Besides, these days, it seems like I’m expressing my feelings more and more with words.
We’re still in a relationship of power, but it seems like we’ve forgotten about it.
“Anyway, let’s eat quickly.”
“Yes. Oh, can I have another bite? That’s delicious.”
“… Yes. Eat a lot.”
As if Scarlett had given up, she didn’t stop my spoon from going to the soft tofu.
*
The meal was satisfactory.
Scarlett also seemed satisfied with the taste of the food itself.
“It was tasty.”
“I’m sure it is.”
After leaving the restaurant, we walked towards the Iris Guild.
“Where should we go to play next time?”
“… Suddenly?”
“Yeah. Do you like it?”
“It’s not like that, but Liliana might hate it if I take her alone.”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t say let’s go alone.”
“…”
“I’m sorry. I was joking.”
I apologized right away because I was afraid of Scarlett’s eyes looking at me like garbage.
You can’t see anything so brutal what’s the matter.
“Still, it’s fun to play with me. We can go out together.”
“Haa… Such things are usually led by men. Once you push hard, most will allow it unless you really hate it. You really don’t know how women feel.”
“I’m a feminist. Sometimes a woman can take the lead.”
“How many women does that person wear?”
“…”
I had a lot to refute, but I ran out of words in an instant.
After all, Scarlett is a strong enemy.
“Well. Maybe the ladies are clinging to Hoyeon-nim because he seems to be good at it, but he has such poor parts.”
“Yeah, that’s right…”
Cheep-
I tried to joke that it was my charm, but I got goosebumps all over her body.
‘What.’
I was surprised.
I quickly unleashed my magic.
Then, in the alleyway in front of her, I found Irene with her face sticking out while using stealth magic.
“… Scarlett.”
“Yes. But why are you lowering your voice all of a sudden?”
“You do as well. Right now, Irene is watching from afar.”
“Is she Miss Irene?… Isn’t she teasing again?”
Scarlett doubted me, but she equally lowered her voice.
She also checked her surroundings with her magical powers in her own way, but she didn’t seem to find it.
“Yeah. It seems like he’s watching me. He’s been watching me since the last sortie.”
“Umm, I haven’t seen her like that often. She’s a very cool person.”
“Obviously. It’s keeping me in check. I think it’s because of Elise.”
“Are you Alice?”
“… It’s long to explain. There is such a thing.”
Scarlett heard me and she frowned, so she continued.
“Hmm… Come to think of it, I remember hearing that. Before I joined the Iris Guild, a guild member said, ‘Little Elise is so cute,’ and she was dragged away by Lady Irene, and the next day she handed in her resignation. .”
“That’s a ghost story, it’s a fact.”
“I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Maybe it’s a fact
It’s not that Irene doesn’t have a bad image, but there’s no way she’d have such a ghost story.
“…Anyways, go. If you stay here, sparks will fly for you too.”
“Okay. I ate well today.”
Scarlett bowed her head to me and disappeared behind her.
I just walked forward, and Irene followed me behind me.
‘How do I do that?’
I don’t know why he cares so much about me, but it’s definitely because of Alice.
The problem is, how did he become so sure of my relationship with Alice and pursue him like that?
I remembered what Scarlett had said.
‘Jealousy….’
Make you jealous
What could be gained by inducing jealousy in a relationship with Alice?
Obviously, Irene’s score was 83 points.
If you attack, you can get a pretty big score.
But can you attack with jealousy?
‘Let’s try it first.’
It doesn’t seem like he likes me anyway, so there’s nothing to lose by doing it.
If you don’t like it, you have no choice but to lose money.
Previously, the guild members were dragged away and resigned, but I can’t do that.
Because I am precious to both Alice and the Iris Guild.
After thinking about it, I turned around and walked behind Irene’s hiding sign.
Then, looking at Irene, who was right behind the signboard, I called out to her.
“What are you doing?”
When I spoke to her, Irene was taken aback and immediately met her eyes with mine.
“… What are you doing?”
“I came to eat with Scarlett because there was no one to eat with. I was curious about Irene’s intentions because Irene was following me.”
“…”
Irene must be in a very ambiguous situation.
She doesn’t like me flirting with any girl other than Alice, but she doesn’t even want to admit to my relationship with Alice.
I expected to get angry right away, but I was surprisingly patient.
In this case, the plan is abandoned.
There’s no need to make scraping crumbs.
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll just leave.”
“Now, hold on.”
At that time, Irene grabbed my shoulder as I was about to return.

“… Under.”
Alice woke up on Sunday morning and smiled at the news.
– [Actual situation] “Korea has no talent.” Japan and China ignored Korea. The case of true education with a word from the representative of the French government?!
– [Foreign News] Lee Ho-yeon’s real-time interview. The reason why foreign reporters and media went crazy at the same time with his eye smile.
– [Official] “In the end, Lee Ho-yeon is the future.” The centaur that the French government eventually gave up! Currently, the whole of Europe is enthusiastic about the Korean genius wizard. Overseas reaction.
– [Real News] The reason why the whole world was surprised by the ‘one word’ that the BCH anchor threw during the briefing of Korea’s genius wizard.
– Korean genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s mad movie reaction seen by foreigners! [Overseas reactions][Reaction][Foreigners’ real reactions]
“What is this. Ha ha.”
As she checked the reaction of her community, Elise gulped down her coffee, feeling the headache she was feeling.
As soon as Alice woke up in the morning and saw an article about Lee Ho-yeon being asked by the French government, she asked Sebastian for the truth.
‘It seems that an agreement was reached between the guild leader and Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. I also received it today.’
And there was no Alice in that agreement.
She didn’t have the ability to attack a centaur, so it was natural.
“… I have to go to the exam.”
Alice said that by tomorrow, she would be returning home.
Naturally, she thought she would go with Lee Ho-yeon, but it turned out to be a different schedule than she thought.
“…”
After drinking the hot coffee, Elise finally picked up her smartwatch.
It’s not that it’s a big deal if we don’t go together, but it felt bad for some reason.
Is it a woman’s intuition?
It seemed that something big was going to happen in France.
Whether it was her experience or her relationship with Lee Ho-yeon, it seemed like something big would change.
“Whoa… I can’t help it. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.”
Elise picked up her smartwatch and made a call.
– Yes?! Our daughter what’s going on in the morning
Father’s familiar voice.
This person always responds like this when I call.
Big-
Eris cleared her throat so she couldn’t hear her phone call, and twisted her tongue as hard as she could.
“… Oh, what are you doing?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Alice wants to be in France too…”
Pop-
“… Kwah.”
After a while.
Eris threw herself on her bed and rolled over, burying her hot face in her pillow.
