Chapter 501 – Chapter 501. Bad Boy Lee Hoyeon
There is a training ground in the basement of Lee Ho-yeon’s mansion.
Chow-!
Two powerful magical powers collided and made a roar.
This is usually where Nam Da-eun does her personal training, but today other people came.
Up hard….
The barrier of Rebecca’s runes trembles as it collides with Ho-yeon Lee’s infernal magic.
A way to use the rune’s barrier as an attack.
It’s a fighting method she’s researching.
“Baby daddy, how about dealing with it this way?”
“It’s not bad… Hell’s magic has a different structure from normal magic. If you look at it now…”
Standing at the training ground were Lee Ho-yeon and Rebecca.
What Rebecca requested was sparring using the magic of hell.
She, who had been sharpening her sword since being beaten by Lucifer, asked Lee Ho-yeon to get used to the magic of hell.
“Then what about attacking the gap between magics? It seems a bit lax compared to the baby’s father’s other magics.”
“Uh… That would be my lack of skill.”
“Ugh, what are you asking me to do? You don’t have any weaknesses.”
“I think it’s better to get used to it than to find a weakness.
“It is, but…”
Hell’s magic is different from human magic, it’s not superior.
The reason why Rebecca and Imsol, who are strong wizards, were struck by the magic of hell was because they were new, and if she got used to it, she would no longer be able to use it as a secret weapon.
‘Come to think of it, what is Lucifer doing?’
The terrorism of the pandemic has increased abnormally in the past few days.
Lucifer must be doing something, seeing as he runs rampant like a horse with no reins… I’m worried about being so quiet.
“Okay. It’s just sparring. Let’s continue until you get used to it.”
“Okay. If Rebecca is trying so hard, then we should help her.”
As Rebecca said, Lee Ho-yeon raised her magic again.
She’s helped me so far, so she should help herself too.
However, Lee Ho-yeon could not properly focus on Dalian.
Rebecca came in while I was thinking about something important, so I kept thinking about it even in the middle of the fight.
‘… What does Rebecca think of me?’
Rebecca’s affinity is 100.
How does Rebecca, who thinks of herself as her husband and helps her, think of Lee Ho-yeon?
If she confesses her truth to Rebecca, she wonders how Rebecca will react.
The useless thoughts bit her tail, and since she was in battle, of course her concentration was disturbed.
Rebecca, who did not miss the chance, neatly destroyed Lee Ho-yeon’s infernal magic.
“Ah….”
“Baby daddy. You don’t seem to be able to concentrate… Are you okay?”
“… Yes. I’m sorry, but can I continue tomorrow? I’m not feeling very well today.”
“Yeah. Then. It’s too late.”
Rebecca smiled brightly, but Lee Ho-yeon felt sorry for nothing.
If you’re going to help, you should definitely help. Sparring like this is a nuisance to Rebecca as well.
Gying-
Rebecca and Lee Ho-yeon ended the system at the training ground.
At the same time, Scarlett, who was sitting in the corner, approached me.
“You worked hard. Let’s have some tea.”
“Ah, thank you, Scarlett.”
“Thank you. Miss Scarlett.”
“You finished earlier than I thought. How far is today?”
“Yes. The baby’s father’s condition is not good. Let’s rest for a while and then go up.”
The three of them sat down at a table inside the training ground and took a break.
By the way, when Scarlett heard that Lee Ho-yeon was having a sparring match with Rebecca, Scarlett came down saying that she would at least watch as she had nothing to do.
Rebecca and Lee Ho-yeon took a break while sipping tea prepared by Scarlett.
The last one ended in a blur, but I had been working pretty hard up until that point, so I needed time to cool down.
“Does Da-eun still come to practice every day?”
“Yes. Miss Daeun is also cleaning the training ground.”
“Hehe. Somehow. It’s clean every time I come.”
“Rebecca-sama, please clean up the ones you used yourself. Not everything can be solved with a clean magic circle.”
“I’m trying…”
When I see Rebecca and Scarlett chatting, it reminds me of how close they are.
The first time Rebecca attacked Lee Ho-yeon and learned about Rune’s clan.
All three of the other women who were already living in her house were uncomfortable with Rebecca.
In particular, Scarlett ran away saying that it was difficult for a type like Rebecca, but she realized that she became so comfortable with her.
It is not a lie to say that time is medicine.
‘If you think about it, the affability is really good.’
It may be her prejudice, but Rebecca’s personality was very cheerful, unlike her tumultuous past when she lost her family since childhood.
That must mean she has a strong heart.
That’s something to be respected for.
“Huh? Baby daddy. Did you put anything on my face?”
Rebecca, who was talking with a light smile, tilted her head when she felt Lee Ho-yeon’s gaze.
She said nothing and she stared and looked like she had something to say.
“What does Rebecca think of me?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? She respects and likes him as her husband, of course.”
“She is exactly about Lee Ho-yeon. She seems to have lived a kind life in her own way… She has a lot of worries about how to act in the future.”
I was curious about Rebecca and Scarlett’s opinions.
Because they are people who know most of Lee Ho-yeon’s situation and feel like an adult.
Maybe she can give you some helpful advice.
“Hmm. The baby’s father is a good person. But as a man, how can I say it? Uh… A bad boy style?”
“Rebecca-sama, you can honestly say it’s garbage.”
“Ah. How can you say such a thing to your husband anyway?”
“… I guess so, right?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you know?”
“I didn’t know. It’s just… No.”
It was so obvious that I didn’t even get angry.
From a woman’s point of view, you’ll feel like trash.
However, as long as the main quest existed, his resentment could not be resolved.
I couldn’t tell the girls about this, and in the end, the only answer was a fake dungeon plan.
It was an expected result, but it left me feeling bitter.
“It’s a very pitiful expression.”
“Sure. Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Lee Ho-yeon suddenly had a question about the two’s eyes looking at him.
Even if Rebecca did it because of the Rune clan, what would Scarlett think?
“… I’m not being sarcastic, but why does Scarlett like me?”
“I think you’re being sarcastic.”
“Not really. I’m just curious.”
Scarlett looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s face and sipped her tea.
It is true that this person is strange, but he is not a bad person.
I wouldn’t be sarcastic.
“It’s not an exact metaphor, but imagine that a man and a woman who promised to marry each other find a pretty big flaw right before the wedding. There are people who cut it off like a knife and there are people who don’t.
“… I think it makes a little sense. It means that there are strengths as well as weaknesses. I am that type of person.”
“To be honest, analyzing Hoyeon’s behavior is more difficult than the Iris Guild’s job. I don’t know where it will bounce.”
“That’s right. Especially the relationship between the baby’s father and the girl is scary…”
“It’s about the same as the Iris Guild’s Emperor of the Night. Starting today, I’ll call you the Emperor of the Day.”
“That person started working on me as soon as he saw me.”
“Because he secretly flirted with me, whom I’ve seen since childhood.”
I laughed out loud when I saw the two excitedly turning themselves around.
Maybe it’s because I thought it was too obvious until now, but the conversation didn’t stop when I talked about this topic.
‘It’s a bit disappointing.’
If there is someone who takes my side unconditionally like Daeun, there must be a type like Scarlett.
I know, but should I call it savage?
I understand because I know his personality, but it was a bit sad to see a girl I like say that.
“… What if my actions had a reason?”
“Is there a reason? Really?”
“No, assuming there is… Then, would it be less trash?”
It didn’t mean much.
I wanted to hear a word of consolation, such as ‘If there is a great reason, it can happen~’.
But Rebecca shook her head.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’re saving the world. … But even if they say they’re saving the world, it’s the same. I think the baby’s father is mistaken.”
“Are you mistaken?”
“You think I’m just trash because I’m a flirt?”
“… Isn’t that it?”
Rebecca kept her mouth shut as she carefully thought of her words.
It’s been a long time since I talked to women about Lee Ho-yeon’s condition.
She also knows that she has troubles that she can’t tell him about.
Seeing what she said today, I could be sure that her concerns were about relationships with women.
However, as Lee Ho-yeon’s woman, she also needed to worry.
‘What should I say….’
There is a saying that life is a comedy seen from a distance, and a tragedy seen from close up.
She is different depending on how she looks at any troubles, and if she is not herself, she cannot properly know the pain.
Romance if I do it, affair if someone else does it.
Most people are strict with others and lenient with themselves.
That’s why in-depth conversations are important, but she couldn’t do that with Lee Ho-yeon.
“…Even if there is a reason, if the baby’s father hides it, no one will find out.”
Even if the causal relationship is certain and self-evident, it means nothing if only you know it.
In the eyes of others, he is just a strange person.
Scarlett also nodded her head in sympathy.
“It would be absurd for the person being victimized. A man who meets 10 women will take the attitude of feeling unfair.”
“… I’m sorry if you felt that way. I really didn’t mean to.”
“No. It’s not that I don’t like Hoenn-nim either.”
Feeling apologetic for a moment, Scarlett approached Lee Ho-yeon.
She got in the mood and she said it out loud, but seeing her head down she might have been a little hurt.
Scarlett’s pleasant body scent hits me.
Scarlett put her hand on her lap and looked at Lee Ho-yeon as if she was sorry.
Lee Ho-yeon held her Scarlett’s hand and smiled bitterly at her.
‘… It’s a bit difficult to hear the truth.’
Rebecca lost her Rune clan when she was younger than Lee Ho-yeon now.
Even so, she has not lost her cheerfulness, and she is that much of a mature person.
She can see things different from what she sees.
“Rebecca, other than a playboy, why do you think I’m a bad guy?”
“… How can I say it. There’s an attitude problem.”
After looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s expression, Rebecca pondered for a moment whether to speak her words or not, but she said that she would say it at least once.
Of course, Rebecca intended to serve Lee Ho-yeon as her husband no matter how many women she had.
However, for his future and the education of his future children, Lee Ho-yeon must stand upright on his own.
“I don’t know if I should say this, but the life of a baby daddy feels like a simple job in a factory.”
“… Yes?”
“Especially when it comes to relationships with women. I know that the father of the baby is a kind and good person. But uhm… Sometimes I think that way. It’s not like meeting someone because it’s good, it’s work, but it feels like enjoying it. Do you understand this difference?”
“I think I know what it feels like. When it’s past 9 o’clock, it’s Scarlett’s turn.”
“…”
It feels like being hit in the face with cold water several times.
The words of the two awaken Lee Ho-yeon’s blank mind.
It’s a simple job.
Lee Ho-yeon had never thought of women that way.
He always thought he was sincere, and he was.
‘… Do you feel that way about Rebecca and Scarlett who keep seeing each other?’
Other women thought they were trash, but they didn’t say that.
But Rebecca and Scarlett live together and she’s been watching him in action.
I didn’t mean to say the two of them to disparage themselves.
If that’s the case, that’s a really objective point of view.
No, maybe because of the high affinity, he said it rather favorably.
Maybe that’s really what’s wrong with you.
“…Thank you. Both of you for being honest. I’ll go up first and rest.”
There were so many things to say, but so many things that were on my mind.
I needed to clear my mind.
I wanted to be alone now.
Stagger.
Lee Ho-yeon got up from her seat and staggered up to her room.
“Hmm… Sounds like a serious illness.”
“I see. Should I do physical therapy?”
And Rebecca and Scarlett, who were watching the back, sipped the remaining tea.
Lee Ho-yeon’s appearance as she returned looked so pitiful.
“I think I said it too harshly. I’m sorry for some reason.”
“The baby’s father is kind and surprisingly has a weak heart.”
“I see. It’s Rebecca’s turn today, right? You have to do your best.”
“Huh. Miss Scarlett made me burn out. What am I going to do today? Huh? How can I conceive in such an atmosphere?”
Rebecca had belated regrets.
It would have been fine if I said these words tomorrow, not today.
Of course, because of her today, her turn has become ambiguous.
Scarlett smiled at Rebecca, who was sad that she couldn’t get pregnant.
“… I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry.”
“Really? How?”
“Follow me.”
After Scarlett tidied up the rest of her car, she stood up.
