Chapter 576 – Chapter 576. Isaac, Emperor of the Night (4)
What.
Why did this flow happen?
Hoyeon Lee met eyes with Alice who was looking at him.
He wasn’t looking to criticize himself.
Rather, the worried heart in Elise’s eyes made Lee Ho-yeon shy.
‘Uncomfortable.’
It’s so uncomfortable.
It’s even more uncomfortable because I’m wearing a suit.
Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?
Did I use emote amplification without my knowledge?
… It can’t be.
“Ellis, um. Hold on.”
Before I knew it, Alice was putting her hand on the back of my hand.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s worried, or if he’s trying to stop him from running away, but Lee Ho-yeon slowly continued.
“What information did you find out, Alice?”
Alice’s attitude was too firm to guess.
She has just returned from a business trip gathering information.
A business trip that has not been contacted for a week.
It was clear that he had obtained information about Lee Ho-yeon and Pandemic from there.
“If I tell you, will you tell me what you know?”
Awesome.
Lee Ho-yeon held Alice’s hand, which was placed on the back of her hand.
If you get a feel for it, you can’t deny it.
“… I’ll tell you anything I can tell you.”
This world is a game can’t say the same thing
But we can share all the information about the pandemic.
And she can tell you her own goals too.
“I found a diary written by the maestro’s secretary in Beijing with her father.”
“The Maestro’s secretary?”
Ellis began to describe the things she had seen.
Maestro’s behavior to keep Lee Ho-yeon in check. The ominous Black Grail, and the fact that Maestro calls Lee Ho-yeon ‘the antipode of fate’.
‘An antipode of fate… ?’
The Maestro knew she cared about him.
Because Lee Ho-yeon is the main character of this game, and has greatly disrupted Pandemic’s plans.
But what is the antipode of fate?
‘… The maestro cares so much about me?’
I honestly didn’t know it was that much.
She wouldn’t have been given the grandiose name of ‘The Antipode of Destiny’ simply because she ruined the plan.
If so, the emperor of the night is also the antipode of fate, and Munsurin and Imsol are also the antipode of fate.
Maestro. He must have seen something special in Lee Ho-yeon.
“…”
“…”
She wanted to think about it some more, but the look in Elise’s eyes as she held her hand was unnerving.
Before she said anything, it seemed like she wouldn’t let go of her hand until now.
“Yes. Ellis. As you think, I must find the pandemic. The curse you always say, to get rid of that curse, you must kill the demon king.”
“You have to kill the demon king summoned by the pandemic… Preventing the demon king from descending into this world will have the same result, right? That’s why you work so hard.”
“That’s true, but the Demon King will descend unconditionally.”
“What are you talking about?”
“No matter what I do. The plan of the pandemic succeeds and the Demon King descends to Earth. That’s the ‘fate’ the Maestro was talking about.”
It’s not because the original story is like that.
Now, the demon king’s body is possessed by the ‘god of another world’. No matter what he does, the Demon King will descend to Earth.
“…Then why are you moving to stop a pandemic? You can’t stop it.”
“That’s why I can’t stay still. If the demon lord’s power is reduced even a little bit by running like this, I can go through this much trouble. And I said it clearly. I have a strong sense of justice.”
Alice looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s face and thought.
People who did not stop fighting for rights even when the whole world was suffering from the terrorism of the pandemic.
Among them, if there is someone who will ignore their interests and take the lead…
“Okay. Hoyeonah. Did you say everything? Then I’ll tell you.”
“Well, actually, there are more, but… Alice, it’s okay if you do it first.”
“No. You do it first.”
Alice had something to tell her when she came.
Information about Lucifer.
To be honest, I wonder if this is the right atmosphere to talk about, but… Since I told all the heroines, I have to confess to Elise as well.
“… Khumm.”
Lee Ho-yeon cleared his throat and then continued.
“It’s a story about Lucifer. There’s also a dungeon.”
*
As soon as Lee Ho-yeon finished speaking, Alice opened her mouth.
“Does anyone else know?”
“I only spoke to those who fought like Lucifer.”
“The general public doesn’t know. Well, I’ve never heard of it, so it’s only natural.”
Alice was surprised inside.
Ho-yeon Lee had planned such a dungeon and then withdrew it.
Even the fact that she confessed to the fact that no one would have known if she had stayed still.
It was different from the usual Lee Ho-yeon.
“… Yeah. Ellis, do you think you should tell the others too? If you think so, I’ll follow.”
Lee Ho-yeon said with sincerity.
If Elise is satisfied with that, she is free to throw away what she has accumulated.
Although the image of a genius wizard is a waste, she cannot be replaced with Elise.
“No. You can’t do that. You’re Lee Ho-yeon, a genius wizard. When you come to the Iris Guild as a son-in-law, it’s uncomfortable to have a stain like that.”
“Deril son-in-law…”
“Besides, he said he tried to get rid of it after reflecting on it. Lucifer is a bad guy. You’re not at fault.”
“… No. Saying that will prick your conscience even more. Please don’t say that.”
I’d rather you curse at me.
If I react like that, I don’t know how to react either.
It’s okay because I reflected. Or making a fake dungeon itself is wrong.
Even Lee Ho-yeon did not know what was right.
There is only one reason Lee Ho-yeon tells the heroines about the fake dungeon.
Because I want to get rid of the remaining emotions in my heart.
“Lee Ho-yeon. No, Ho-yeon-ah. You must become an apostle of justice.”
“… Apostle of Justice?”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
He often uses the word “Apostle of Justice” As a half-play, but it was awkward for that to come out of Alice’s mouth.
“Because of the terrorism of the pandemic, the whole world is complaining of damage. In developing countries, the government was paralyzed, and even though it was a great power, it could not escape the damage.”
“Huh.”
“At the same time, the vested interests are only looking after their own interests. No matter how stupid the public is, they can’t hide the danger of terrorism or demons. People who actually feel it with their bodies must be very dissatisfied. Then, like a hero, you appeared. Lee Ho-yeon, a genius magician who dreams of fighting for the public good. I like your paintings.”
“… Suddenly? And what happens?”
Wasn’t it the place where you just confessed your mistakes?
“Don’t worry. The Iris Guild will take care of all the media work. The Iris Guild’s power is spread all over the world.”
Even though Alice is talking alone, the conversation goes on.
No, she didn’t even give an answer already, but she seems to be tapping the calculator in her head.
“If you come to the Iris Guild as a son-in-law while becoming a hero, you will be able to imprint on the world that the Iris Guild is the best guild in the world.”
“Wait a minute. Ellis. Why are you saying that as if it were definitive?”
“You came to get help from the Iris Guild, didn’t you?”
“That’s right…”
Lee Ho-yeon pondered for a moment.
With the help of the Iris Guild, she takes the lead in her research into the pandemic and the Black Pillar.
‘… Isn’t that the way it is?’
He had to stop the pandemic anyway, and he thought of taking the lead in research on the Black Pillar.
Of course, having a son-in-law is a bit difficult.
“Okay, Ellis. I’ll do as you say. Sell my name as you please.”
“Instead, I’m saying it assuming you’re just as passionate about it. Are you going to do that?”
“Of course. I’ll do everything I can. So you’re helping me with research on the Black Pillar?”
“I need to get permission from the guild leader…But don’t worry too much. I’ll ask.”
All you have to do is clench your teeth while looking at her father and play her aegyo once.
Alice decided to grant Lee Ho-yeon’s request.
There’s no way he’s lying, which means he’ll cooperate in uncovering the machinations of the pandemic centered around the Black Pillar.
Lee Ho-yeon is in charge of the face that prevents the terror of the pandemic.
And the Iris Guild takes advantage of him behind his back.
After all, the Iris Guild is acting similarly to other vested interests, but hypocrisy is also good.
It was the Iris Guild that put Lee Ho-yeon at the forefront, so we should take advantage of this much.
Official documents and evidence sent all over the world. It’s all money.
‘… Not a bad deal.’
Ellis thought about a subject she had left aside for a while.
Lucifer.
I was honestly a little surprised that he designed Lucifer’s dungeon.
I knew he was a crazy flirt, but I didn’t know he was that crazy.
‘But… Something has changed.’
It took time.
I felt like I could see something if I watched him from Lee Ho-yeon’s side.
“Haa… That’s hard. I’ve been waiting a week to hear that. I can finally go back.”
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Alice, who was lost in thought, for a moment, then let her sigh of relief as she leaned into her chair.
Now that Iris Guild has cooperated with me, I can go back to Korea and continue my research.
“What are you talking about? You’re going back?”
Alice tilted her head at Lee Ho-yeon’s words.
“Since you said you’d help, I’ll go back to Korea and do my best.”
“I’m going to stay for a week.”
“Uh?”
“I’ll stay at my house for a week. Didn’t you forget?”
“Of course I remember. Are you going to use it now?”
“Are there any problems?”
I am doing the memory.
But why use it now?
“But now it’s kind of… Well, you know, I have to deal with the pandemic. I have so many things to do in Korea…”
“What do I have to do? They say that they help me out. You just rest at my house.”
“Victoria Academy…”
“School is closed indefinitely. Since you’re treated as a hero in the first place, you can rest more. The Iris Guild will send an official letter to the world asking for cooperation, so you don’t have to move.”
… I can’t resist
She’ll be much faster with Elise than she’s fluffing around.
“That’s right. The guild leader is there too.”
“Daddy’s fine. I just need to convince him.”
“… Uhm.”
No matter what you say, you get out of the way.
It shouldn’t be like this. I have to go to Korea and see the faces of the heroines.
As soon as Lee Ho-yeon’s troubled mind was revealed on her face, Ellis raised the corner of her mouth.
“Are you going to refuse? Then I don’t know how to come out… Didn’t Iris Guild need the cooperation?”
“…”
I thought she matured after taking the heir class.
No, have you matured? Our Alice seems to have gotten smarter.
‘There is no hole to escape.’
Can not help it.
I got the cooperation of the Iris Guild, so I can use it for about a week more.
Besides, she’s no one else, she’s with Elise.
Lee Ho-yeon gave up neatly and slightly lowered his head.
“If you’ll excuse me. I’ll take care of you at the Iris Guild for one more week.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll treat you as a family accommodation.”
“Then I think I’m going to die from the guild leader.”
She meets her father-in-law after a long time, but she doesn’t want to be stabbed.
‘… Whatever it will be They’re all adults.’
Actually, this isn’t the first time.
I’ve been to France before, and I’ve been to the wizarding society during vacation.
Moreover, the situation is even more serious now that the Black Pillar has to be dealt with.
Even the heroines will understand.
‘Coming to think of it, I have to receive her memory beads from Chiron.’
I was immersed in magic research, so I couldn’t receive the information about the situation.
I’ll have to visit you tomorrow
“It’s all decided, so I’ll go first.”
“Are you going to bed?”
“No, we have to send urgent official documents first. That way, we won’t start an investigation from tomorrow.”
“Are you okay? You look very tired.”
“I know my body well. Don’t look at me like that. Take care of your body.”
With that said, Elise left her parlor with her yawn.
Obviously, Lee Ho-yeon’s condition wasn’t perfect either.
But it would have been better than Alice, who wouldn’t be surprised if she fell asleep right away.
She chose what to do as the successor to the Iris Guild.
“As expected, a woman with ability is cool.”
Growling-
As soon as I let go of my concentration, I get hungry.
After starving for several days, the only thing she ate was a chocolate bar and milk that Scarlett had prepared for her.
As Ellis said, Lee Ho-yeon was not in good shape either.
“… I’m going to go get something to eat too.”
Lee Ho-yeon snapped her fingers and tidied up her living room before she staggered outside.
