Chapter 643 – Chapter 643. Clear the Devil’s Cult
Doo doo doo-
A private plane landed in the yard of the spacious mansion.
Two blonde women got off the plane.
It was Alice and Irene.
They stepped on Korean soil after a long time.
“My sister will come after hearing the report from the Korean branch manager. She is resting at home.”
“Yes. Sister.”
For the head of the Korean branch, it would be fitting that Ellis, her successor, would go, but Irene didn’t mind that.
It was more important to her that her brother rest in peace.
After sending Irene to the Korean branch manager, Elise came into her mansion.
There are two main reasons for returning to Korea today.
It was because there was a report that there was a high probability that the Mine’s organization was hiding in Korea.
It was a report received from the Korean branch manager, so it was quite reliable information.
That’s why I came to Korea directly to investigate.
… This is a public reason.
Mine organization was important, but it wasn’t something that would make both Alice and Irene come to Korea.
The other is for personal reasons.
It was Lee Ho-yeon.
“Where in the world is there a guy who makes the two daughters of the Iris Guild come directly?”
Alice and Irene came all the way to Korea because of a man.
Anyone who knows the horrors of the Iris Guild will never believe this.
Alice entered her mansion with such thoughts in mind.
Her own room was exactly the same as before she left for France.
The cleaning magic hanging over the mansion prevents dust from accumulating in the house.
“Whoa…”
Ellis felt the fatigue building up in her body and took off her outer garment.
A table in her room was set with wine and glasses.
Seeing that reminded her of her memories of when she was in the academy, drinking wine to relieve her fatigue.
Ellis sat down at her table and absentmindedly she looked out.
Warm sunlight and blue sky.
The sky was not that different from France, but the sky seen from the room was somehow more beautiful.
Iris Guild’s lodgings are well-equipped and I’m used to it because I’ve been there for a long time, but work there is too busy.
She sometimes misses the leisure time she had when she was in Korea.
“Did you come sooner than expected?”
Belt ring-
Elise raised her body as she gazed at the sky without thinking.
An alarm sounded that someone had entered the mansion.
Her older sister went to see the Korean branch manager, so she only had one person come in now.
“Hmm. Mmmm-.”
She unknowingly went down her steps, humming her song.
Going down to her first-floor lobby, Lee Ho-yeon turned her head around as if looking for him.
Elise raised the corners of her mouth with her smirk.
“I’m late. It’s late.”
“Ellis?”
Hoyeon Lee raised her head and found her.
Suddenly she asked me to come home. I thought it was urgent, but her expression brightened.
“I told you to come early. Why are you coming now?”
“… You came as soon as you saw the text message telling you to come?”
“Yeah? Good job. Let’s go to my room.”
Alice turned her body around, and Lee Ho-yeon tilted her head and followed her.
The original appointment time was in the evening, but Alice told me to come right away, so I came in a hurry.
I don’t know why, but I’m glad she seems to be in a good mood.
“Isn’t there Mr. Irene? She said she’s coming with me.”
Alice’s room after a long time.
Lee Ho-yeon sat down at the table and spoke to her.
“My sister is out for work.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be better to meet after Irene comes back instead of now?”
“Then we can meet together.”
“Oh, I didn’t pull the appointment time, so I’ll see you now and see you later?”
“Then it’s been almost two weeks since I’ve seen you, isn’t it natural? You should stay with us for a day or so. Did you really intend to go just to see their faces?”
“… No. No. I know. I just asked.”
Somehow, he asked to meet quickly, but it seems that he just wanted to see the two of them without Irene.
So, did it make you feel better when you two met?
It’s cute because you think so.
“Do you want to have a glass of wine?”
“Yeah. Thank you.”
Alice poured her wine for Lee Ho-yeon and sat across from her.
Since we haven’t seen each other in about two weeks because of each other’s work, we had a lot to talk about.
“… Khumm.”
But what should I say?
There was obviously a lot to say.
Is your body okay after fighting Karcus?
Why did you take the time now?
Shouldn’t you be in touch 10 times a day?
Even if you are busy, shouldn’t you have made time to come to France?
But seeing her face, it was hard for her to speak.
‘… Have I become weird like my sister?’
Ellis said that whenever she had private conversations, she was direct.
Because she was in a place where she didn’t have to talk back.
However, it was difficult for me to speak in front of this man.
“Shall we talk about work first?”
In the end, what Alice came up with was work.
It was because Lee Ho-yeon brought a bunch of information that she would like, so she seemed to be able to talk easily.
“Let’s talk about work later with Irene.”
“Huh?”
“As you said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. You can just talk about things you haven’t seen before.”
It’s understandable that Alice is disappointed.
She thought she had contacted her a lot, but she didn’t seem to feel that way.
‘Even when we meet, we have to be nice.’
Lee Ho-yeon took her wine glass and brought it to her mouth.
And she was startled and she looked at the wine.
It was so much tastier than her own idea.
“This wine smells good. It tastes good. You like it, right? Château d’Ichem.”
“… Yes. It’s 20 years old. This is exactly what I like.”
Elise’s tastes were well known to her, so it was easy for her to strike up a conversation.
“I like this too. But was it this delicious?”
Sniffling-
Lee Ho-yeon emptied her wine glass in an instant.
This wine was the most delicious drink I’ve ever had.
“What’s wrong with you after eating it several times? Did you eat something that ruined your appetite?”
“… Is it.”
She said it might be because she recently met Im Sol and Moon Su-rin.
Surprisingly, the wine was really good.
“By the way, is your father doing well?”
“Dad is always the same. She had a meeting with Angela’s guild leader not too long ago, and she was caught by me and her sister while trying to flirt with Angela’s guild leader.”
“… Hmm.”
Lee Ho-yeon quietly brought her wine glass to her mouth.
I’m not used to hearing other flirt stories.
“Come to think of it, she said she was close with Angela’s guild leader. I heard that Angela’s guild leader, Lee Ho-yeon, is an eternal ally of Angela’s guild?”
“It’s close… But it doesn’t feel like an alliance. I once saved Angela’s guild leader. So help me a lot.”
She was saved because she quickly released the Maestro’s brainwashing.
Lee Ho-yeon nodded her head and drank the wine.
“Any story about you, Alice? I’d like to hear something like that.”
It was easy after that.
Ellis poured out her quick words.
“Are you okay? I know you won’t get hurt, but just in case.”
“Recently, I’ve been busy with work, so I haven’t been able to properly live a cultural life. What about you?”
“No, and did you say that my sister became strange? You’ll feel it when you see it yourself.”
“How the heck are you telling the Iris Guild to keep world peace? Isn’t it ridiculous?”
Time passed quickly as we listened to Ellis and agreed moderately.
The wine was delicious, so it was a good time.
“I see.”
“Yeah… But it seems like I’m the only one talking?”
It wasn’t until after she talked for a while that Alice noticed her strangeness.
Hoyeon Lee smiled.
“Looks like you have a lot to say. Are you feeling better now?”
“… That’s right. It’s gotten cooler. I’ll take care of the lack of contact.”
Elise emptied the remaining wine in her glass and checked her smartwatch.
Before she knew it, it was time for her sister to return.
She called herself, but you can just say that Lee Ho-yeon came before her appointment time.
Belt ring-
The alarm magic went off and soon after, the door opened.
As soon as she saw her front door, Irene’s eyes widened as if she had rushed up.
“Ellis?!”
“Sister, are you here? Lee Ho-yeon said she had time, so I came a little while ago.”
“Irene. Hello.”
“Uh, yes. Goodbye. I didn’t know she would be there already… If she knew it would be like this, she should have stopped talking to the branch manager and came.”
Irene swallowed her regret and sat down at the table.
She’s a little late, but she still has plenty of time.
First of all, since we met after a long time, what did we do for 2 weeks…
“Shall we talk about work first? Sister. Are you okay?”
“… Uh, uh huh? Huh. There’s nothing that can’t be done.”
Irene was a bit disappointed, but she followed Alice’s words.
It will be more comfortable if you take care of public matters first.
“Hmm. Do you want to see this? Ellis and I personally went through her documents and researched it.”
“Really? Ellis said she was a lucky finder.”
“Sister…”
“… I’m sorry, Ellis.”
While Irene lowered her head, Lee Ho-yeon looked at her papers.
Information about the anomaly was written there.
“Is this an anomaly? I heard that the anomaly has gotten worse since the gates of hell appeared.”
“Yes. The anomaly is more serious than I thought.”
Instead of the sullen Irene, Elise answered.
Lee Ho-yeon looked at her documents and nodded her head.
Animals and fish covered with magic turned into new monsters, and trees I had never seen before were growing.
It was proof that the rate of assimilation between Earth and Hell had increased.
The original magic power is mixed with the magic power of hell, and the ecosystem of hell is appearing.
“And these… Newly discovered objects around Hell’s Gate?”
“Yeah. It’s not a picture of all objects, but I don’t know if the monsters in the picture are demons.”
“… These are all demons. It’s safe to say that all monsters that haven’t been attacked are demons.”
“Really? I’ll have to pass it on to the wizards.”
Lee Ho-yeon clicked her tongue and turned over the documents.
Demons are found in the outer part of the darkness, not in the center of the gates of hell.
The devil’s attack was really close to my eyes.
“Mine organization? What is this?”
“That’s information sent by the head of the Korean branch. They say that a group of unidentified demons have been discovered in Korea… They say that investigators keep going missing. Did you say the name was Devil’s Cult?”
“The Devil’s Cult?”
It was the name I heard from Moon Soo-rin.
Iris Guild was also investigating these guys, I don’t think it’s a small scale.
“The investigators are gone… That’s kind of suspicious.”
Lee Ho-yeon looked for information about the Mine organization.
These guys must be an organization created by the Maestro.
“Ellis.”
“Huh?”
“The Devil’s Cult, can you properly investigate?”
Seeds of disquiet must be dealt with before germination.
*
The day after I met Alice.
I entrusted the Iris Guild with the investigation of the Demonic Cult, and yesterday I spent the whole day with Ellis Irene.
Fortunately, the reason Alice and Irene came to Korea was because of the Mine organization.
If possible, he wanted to deal with the Maestro before the demon attack.
Next day.
Today, I met the Lucy Rumi twins who went monster hunting all the way to Japan.
He knew that Lucy and Rumi wouldn’t get hurt, but he was still worried, but fortunately he earned a lot of points.
“Hoyeon, I heard that the cakes here are very delicious…!”
“But can I eat sweets right after being discharged?”
“Will it be okay?”
I was on my way to a cafe with Lucy and Rumi.
I don’t know what the relationship between discharge and cake is, but I didn’t pay much attention to the flow of the conversation.
It was fun to walk around with Beauty on either side of her, even for no reason.
“Please let me know. We are sharing good words.”
“Ah, yes…”
Pseudo-religious invitations received several times today.
If you talk to me or Lucy, you can cut it like a knife, but Rumi couldn’t refuse because her heart was weak.
Having been handed over her leaflet by her pseudo, Rumi put it in her pocket sullenly.
“…Rumi. You can just ignore her when she talks to you.”
“But it’s from someone much older than me… Uhh. I’m sorry.”
“Give it to me. Take a look at what is written on it.”
“What are you curious about? Let’s just throw it away and go eat cake!”
I checked the flyer while holding Lucy’s hand.
As I thought, useless content was written.
The end of the world is coming, so we must prepare.
If you participate in the rally, you will be saved.
I can’t feel the trust just reading the letters…
“Huh?”
At that time, I was able to detect a faint magic power in the leaflet I caught.
It was the magic of hell that I was very familiar with.
‘… Oh no way.’
Are you doing this openly?
