Chapter 468 – Chapter 468. Unfair Irene
Right before Lee Ho-yeon arrives, Alice’s room.
Irene knocked on Alice’s room and went inside.
“Ellis. Unni, do you want to go in?”
“Yes. Come in.”
“I cut an apple because it looked bad. Cute rabbit.”
Irene put down a plate of cute apples and forks on her table.
Irene, who smiled her bright smile, felt her heart warm as she looked at Ellis.
‘As expected, Alice is beautiful today too.’
Even though there was a tremendous confession that shook the foundation of the sisters, surprisingly, the relationship between the two did not change much.
Originally, when she was at home, Irene always approached her first.
Irene said she treated Elise as if she hadn’t confessed at the time, and she didn’t even try to do anything strange.
As a result, she let go of her guard against Irene, even Alice, who was wary at first.
“… It’s cute.”
“Yeah. My sister shaved it.”
Cock.
Alice took a cute rabbit-shaped apple with her fork.
No matter how hard she did herself, it was hard to make her cute, but it was amazing how her sister shaved so well.
‘… It was also because of me.’
Alice remembered what Irene had said to her.
Did she say that when she was 13.
Ellis, injured during her training, is hospitalized, and she tells her sister that she wants to eat her rabbit-shaped apple, she says.
She cried as hard as she could when she saw the apple she had been cutting hard, and she cried that she was ugly, and she said that she practiced every day since that day.
“I remember the old days. She said Alice wanted to eat an apple shaped like a rabbit and she shaved her sister. How hurt she was when she cried then she said she was ugly.”
“… Stop talking about that.”
Alice let out a sigh.
Apparently, her older sister was thinking the same thing.
‘I guess it was because the rabbit likes me too.’
That her real sister likes her.
She understood the ‘fact’, but she was not convinced.
Ellis, because she still hasn’t let go of her old mindset.
‘I don’t know if this is an old mind problem….’
Fortunately, Irene is still the same.
She was just like her sister before she said she liked her.
The way she did, the way she spoke, and the way she looked at herself were the same.
… As long as she doesn’t do anything weird, maybe she doesn’t have to worry about it.
Alice thought so.
“That’s right, Alice. Today is the day Hoyeon comes to play.”
“… Yes.”
“Will my sister bring me some tea? I have the high-quality tea leaves I’ve been saving. It would be nice to drink together.”
“No. Today I will meet alone.”
“Uh, um. Will you…?”
“Yeah. My sister told me then. She said she would listen to everything.”
“Well, then. Of course. All you need is Alice.”
Irene smiled shyly at Alice’s smile.
Her brother opened up to her, she thought, but she didn’t yet.
Ding dong- ding dong-
“Sister. Lee Ho-yeon is here.”
“Um, I understand. Unni will be leaving for a while, so can’t we fight with Hoyeon?”
Ellis got up from her seat and put the prepared wine on the table, and Irene walked out of her room with a smile.
“Ha….”
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Irene let out a sigh of relief.
Since Alice hadn’t contacted Lee Ho-yeon for a week, she couldn’t overlap her body with Lee Ho-yeon.
But she couldn’t do it this time either. It was too bad.
“Yes. It can’t be helped.”
Irene swallowed her regret with difficulty.
Elise will open her heart right away. Everything is a matter of time
‘I’m not asking for much.’
I wanted to move forward little by little from the relationship I had with Ellis so far.
They greet each other in the morning, sometimes eat together, cook, sometimes hug each other with love, sometimes sleep together, give massages, and even share precious parts of each other….
She just wants to be a ‘little’ close sister.
Awesome. Irene smacked her lips.
Pioneering a path that others do not go is a continuation of hardship.
This is also because Alice and she were born so beautiful.
This karma is lost by herself, her sister, and she has to walk.
Again and again.
Irene went down to the front door and greeted Lee Ho-yeon.
Lee Ho-yeon said that she always talked lightly, but she seemed to have no energy today.
‘Am I nervous about meeting Alice?’
If that’s the case, that’s understandable enough.
Irene, too, used to check her own condition before she entered Elise’s room.
She said, “I’ve been out of the house… But do you have something to do today?”
Irene left the house and walked the streets blankly.
She left home for Alice and Lee Ho-yeon, but she had nothing to do.
She didn’t want to go to work at the Korean branch, and the weather wasn’t good enough for her to go for a walk.
“Ah… Shall we investigate Lee Ho-yeon’s background?”
Come to think of it, Lee Ho-yeon’s condition was strange.
She wondered if she had been voice phishing. Although he is a flirt, he is a purer man than he looks.
He may have been caught in a scam that is difficult to tell others about.
‘Or if it’s a relationship with another woman….’
“Irene-nim. It’s been a while.”
“Hey.”
Irene, lost in her thoughts, turned her head in the direction of her sudden voice.
Behind her was Scarlett, her familiar face.
“S, Scarlett?”
“Yes. This is the first time I’m greeting you since the last time we met by chance.”
“Uh, yeah. That’s right. It’s been a while.”
Irene blinked her eyes as she saw her former co-worker suddenly appear.
Scarlett.
A member of the Iris Guild not too long ago, she was quite a talented guild member.
She was scheduled to be promoted to Team 1 when her mission to Korea was over, but… She was puzzled by the sudden resignation.
Of course, her father had allowed it, so she had nothing to say to Irene, and she intended to forget it as it was.
But she met Scarlett in an unexpected place not too long ago.
This is because while she was helping student council president Moon Soo-rin in the operation to capture Mine Moon Seong-min, she was accidentally caught in a battle.
‘At that time, she was eating with Lee Ho-yeon.’
It’s not like she didn’t investigate then.
She brushed up on the Korean branch manager, and she found out that Lee Ho-yeon and Scarlett had a pretty deep relationship.
Unfortunately, she said she couldn’t tell me any more, so she decided to continue her personal investigation.
‘I was looking for permission to investigate the anomaly in the dungeon with the black pillar at that time….’
As she helped Lee Ho-yeon with her work, her Scarlett’s investigation was gradually delayed.
Besides, the relationship between Alice and her had changed so rapidly recently that he had no time to care about work.
After all, she has come this far in a fuzzy state.
Irene slowly opened her mouth as she watched Scarlett stare at her expressionlessly.
“So, um. What’s going on? It’s coming all of a sudden.”
“Sorry for the sudden visit. I have an urgent matter. It’s Lee Ho-yeon’s job.”
“Lee Ho-yeon?”
Irene slightly raised her alertness.
Lee Ho-yeon is a precious existence that connects herself and Alice.
He’s not quite as beautiful as Ellis… But in many ways he’s a guy that’s about 1.5 stars.
“Yes. Recently, you have been with Lee Ho-yeon a lot. Has there been anything suspicious or suspicious about Lee Ho-yeon? This is an important matter.”
“…”
There was.
Irene, who was thinking of her about Lee Ho-yeon just as she was, she almost unknowingly threw her thoughts out of her mouth.
Clearly, suspicious behavior existed.
A strange obsession with the Black Pillar and a deeper investigation than a scholar.
Observing the anomalies in the dungeon in detail and understanding related papers.
And, even doubts about the black pillar that appeared in the academy.
Since it was Lee Ho-yeon, she left it alone. If someone else did this, she would definitely investigate the cause.
Irene scanned Scarlett’s body up and down.
1 As a team leader, Irene’s senses were sharpened.
Gaze handling, breathing, trembling pupils and eyebrows.
Even from the expressionless Scarlett, countless pieces of information leaked out.
‘I came to know about it already.’
Scarlett was sure she had something of her own in Irene.
After all, the former ace down ability of the Iris Guild.
She realized that the actions she took while traveling with her were suspicious.
Irene actually thought Lee Ho-yeon’s behavior was suspicious, so her prediction was correct.
… However.
“Even if I know that… Why should I tell you?”
“There is not.”
“Scarlett. You know why? Did you lose your sense of the scene after leaving the Iris Guild?”
If you lose weight, you win 100 times.
Information is more valuable than anything else.
Irene is the 1st team leader of the information guild, Iris Guild.
If you come to me and ask me to give you information, I can’t just do it quietly.
“I will pay the price. If Irene-sama presents the desired amount…”
“I’m sorry, but I refuse. I don’t really know anything, and I don’t need the money.”
Irene shook her head.
I plan to personally continue the investigation on Lee Ho-yeon.
She didn’t want to share it with someone who didn’t even know the purpose.
Because she could possibly harm him.
At that time, Irene heard Scarlett’s cold voice.
“You seem to have lost a lot of sense of the scene. Maybe it’s because you went on dates all vacation.”
“… What? All of you. Scarlett. You…”
“Then should I call you you? We’re the same age.”
“…”
Irene shut her mouth at Scarlett’s confident words.
Scarlett is no longer a member of Iris Guild. Whatever she calls herself, that must be Scarlett’s heart.
“…Yes. Whatever you call it, whatever you like. But I don’t know what you mean. Are you thinking of forcibly stealing information for not giving it to me?”
“I don’t want to do that. I want Irene-nim to pay the price and provide the information.”
“Ha. A lie.”
Scarlett was still expressionless, but her body was already energizing her.
It is to create a state in which you can fight right away.
Irene also responded to Scarlett and wrapped her body with magic.
She didn’t think she would lose. She knows the level of her Scarlett herself.
She excels, but she is below herself.
If Scarlett was stronger, she would have taken the position of team leader.
“If you come out like that… Huh?”
Irene, who raised her mana, felt a strange feeling covering her body.
“… Barrier?”
Barrier. The highest among them.
If her secret magical power is unnoticed by her, she is a tremendously powerful person.
Moreover, Irene had memories of experiencing this magical power.
An acquaintance of Lee Ho-yeon whom he met during the centaur tracking operation. She was Rebecca’s magic.
Irene gritted her teeth at the pressure she felt all over her own body.
“Keuugh… It’s big.”
Again. Again.
At the same time, three women appeared from the empty space.
“As expected, the baby’s father is strong. I’m not weak.”
“Rebecca. Stop talking about that because it’s boring.”
“Uh, uh… Is it really okay to do it this way? It’s kind of dangerous…”
Irene studied the faces of the approaching women.
These are all the women I saw at the restaurant.
The red-haired woman in the center is Rebecca.
He is Lee Ho-yeon’s acquaintance who appeared in the centaur capture operation.
The mild-looking cadet next to him is Nam Da-eun, a first-year student. She was a huge prospect, so of course I knew.
The last one is a woman who yawns as if she is bored, giving off an erotic atmosphere for some reason. She is the only uninformed woman.
Irene realized that she was in a dangerous situation and immediately tried to escape her barrier, but Scarlett, who was standing right next to her, blocked her movement.
“Stay still, Mr. Irene.”
“Ugh…”
“Mr. Scarlett… Is this okay, right?”
Nam Da-eun looked at her Irene with her worried eyes.
As soon as she got back from the academy she was trying to understand what the other girls were saying because she all of a sudden ran out saying that her target had appeared.
She came along for the time being, but is it really okay to be like this?
“Yes. It’s okay. This one doesn’t break that easily.”
“Eup! Eup!”
Irene struggled with her body to get out of her own mouth, Scarlett.
Although the painful pressure on her body and the fear of what was about to happen, she also felt resentment.
She was sad that she was kicked out by Elise, but she was also teased by Lee Ho-yeon, and as soon as she saw her ex-coworker after a long time, she was threatening herself.
She wondered what she did wrong and that she was going through this.
Feeling resentful, Irene tightly closed her eyes.
