Chapter 796 – 796. Meeting of the Elders of the Mage Tower (4)
“Who is this? This woman?”
A voice full of boundaries as if the blade had been sharpened.
He calmed her down by hugging Erin’s waist, who was growling with her fur pulled up.
“Erin. He is the Green Elder of the Magic Tower. What kind of rudeness is that?”
“But this woman… !”
“I apologize first.”
He hugged her by the waist and patted her on the shoulder to calm her down.
Erin is able to feel the emotions of others because of her special property of divine magic.
It was clear that she probably learned from Elder Green what thoughts and feelings she harbored about him, and hurriedly ran.
I understand why she was so wary, but she couldn’t help it because she was an opponent.
“… Sorry.”
Reluctantly, Erin bowed her head and apologized.
“Huh? What a fun kid.”
The greensmith was interested in Erin.
Although she was wearing her clothes, her slightly sweaty face and her hair stretched out because she hadn’t gotten up right from her sleep indicated how urgently she had rushed here.
‘It’s as if there are no beasts.’
It was as if she sensed her existence from a distance and ran quickly, like a beast that sensed the presence of an intruder in her territory.
She was certain that she was a special being possessing senses different from those of ordinary humans.
And the curiosity about what kind of person the man named Eun-hyeon was, who was taming Erin obediently, deepened.
Erin, who can feel the flow of her emotions even from a distance, couldn’t have felt it from this close distance.
“Profit!”
Erin had her own existence, but she was angry at Elder Nok, who openly harbored selfish feelings for Eunhyeon.
“Erin. Calm down.”
However, despite Erin’s efforts to comfort her, Erin could not easily calm her excitement.
“Whoa…”
Calming her mind through her deep breathing, Erin pondered in her head and quickly changed her strategy.
“Hyunah. I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”
Erin wanted to leave this place where Nokjangro and Eunhyeon were together as soon as possible.
But, perhaps because he immediately recognized Erin’s intentions, Elder Green put her first invitation into her mouth again.
“Have you not heard a proper answer from this person yet? Then how about having dinner with the three of us?”
“No. Why are we having dinner with you? You really don’t understand!?”
Erin was dumbfounded.
She said when the hell did she say she pretended to be so friendly.
“… Erin. It’s Elder Green.”
“Joy! I don’t know anything like that!”
She let out a small sigh and tried to remind her of her opponent’s status, but Erin jerked her head away in her horns.
‘… This woman She’s enjoying herself now.’
It was clearly visible in her eyes that she was laughing and enjoying the situation.
Seeing Erin’s reaction to her and then biting her lip in an amused way showed just how mischievous her Elder Green personality was.
“You are really still.”
It was the soft voice that came from the entrance of her conference room that stopped Erin and calmed her excitement.
Those who remained in the conference room all looked towards the entrance.
She was Illyana, who had followed Erin late.
Seeing Illyana’s appearance in her, Elder Green smiled and showed her delight.
“Are you really back? Illyana.”
“Uh?”
Erin put on a bewildered expression at Elder Green’s demeanor, which seemed to have a one-sided feeling for her.
It was the same with Eunhyeon.
“Miss Iliana. Do you know this woman?”
“Know.”
Following her calm response, Aden elaborated on their relationship.
“Nera and Illyana are classmates who studied magic together at the Mage Tower when they were young. And… She is also a wizard with the same witchy traits.”
“… Witch?”
“Ah.”
Unlike Erin, who continues to respond that she doesn’t know why, Eun-hyeon belatedly realized what the deja vu he was feeling from Elder Nok was.
Although she maintains the appearance of a very young 20-year-old, she may have felt a sense of deja vu that she is a sorceress who inherited witch blood similar to Illyana and is her motive.
“What are you thinking?”
Her sharp voice, as if reading her thoughts, made Eun-hyeon wake up from her thoughts and make her body tremble.
She seemed to be similar even to the sensitive reaction to her age.
Elder Nok, who soon relaxed her expression, smiled and reached out his hand to Eunhyeon.
“I will formally introduce myself again. It is called Nera Tarot.”
She couldn’t even refuse Nera’s offer to shake hands, so she tried to take her hand as Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly at her.
“Yes. Hello. My name is Erin Hersha.”
Erin, who had intervened between Eunhyeon and Nera, quickly grabbed her hand and shook hers instead.
“Huh?”
Nera, as expected, looked at Erin with interest.
Although Erin is smiling, her hand shaking her hand is strained. She was sending out warnings with her whole body not to come too close.
“Haha, sorry.”
“Ho-ho, it’s okay.”
Nera waved her hand as if she was having fun at Eunhyun’s low profile scratching her head and apologizing.
Until just now, the man who had shown meticulousness in capturing the magicians of the Red Tower, far from falling for the power of the magicians of the Red Tower, had come out as the author when it came to his wife, and for some reason, I laughed.
“That’s right. Hyuna. I have nothing to apologize for. He’s like this kind of kid.”
“A kid like this? You do too much Boy.”
“… I don’t want to hear from you flirting with married married men.”
Illyana furrowed her brows in annoyance.
“Did you hit your tail? It’s been a while since we met, and there’s really nothing I can’t say.”
“Then no?”
“It’s not? Just…”
Nera scanned Eun-hyeon’s body up and down and observed her, revealing a look full of curiosity.
“I was just wondering what kind of guy he was that you fell for.”
“Oh yeah? Are your questions resolved?”
“I know he’s a good guy, but I still don’t know. So I tried to ask while we were having dinner together.”
“If you’re lonely, find another man. Don’t pay attention to my strict husband.”
However, despite Illyana’s warning, Nera did not seem to be willing to relinquish her interest in Eun-hyeon so easily.
“What on earth did he like to marry such a sharp-edged woman? I’m curious about that too.”
“I met you after 10 years, but are you still more curious about your future as you live alone without getting married?”
Nera’s eyebrows curled like snakes at Illyana’s counterattack.
Her eyes were smiling, but the atmosphere between the two, full of smiles, gradually changed to become more threatening.
“Hoho, what are you talking about? The only good thing about it is that you have big breasts, and you have a bad temper?”
“You don’t know how much my husband loves my breasts, right? How much do you touch me in bed every night?”
“If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t have gotten married?”
“Are you still not able to do that?”
“Tongue, Hyuna…”
Erin, who had been growling ferociously as if she would bite her if the number was wrong until just now, suddenly turned pale and took hold of Eunhyun’s arm.
As the conversation between the two witches went back and forth, the temperature in the conference room seemed to drop by 1 degree.
“Stop. Please stop now.”
In order to settle the atmosphere between the two, which was gradually becoming more and more violent, Eun-hyeon, who was worse off, had to step in.
“Oh. Then would you like to dine with me?”
“Sorry, but that would be a little difficult…”
“Good.”
“Uh?”
It’s surprisingly Illyana’s side who turns down what she tried to turn down nicely.
“Hey, Miss Illyana!?”
Eunhyeon and Erin were both surprised at the unexpected consent.
Perhaps she didn’t know how to accept her provocation mixed with her own mischief, she had a look that surprised even her master.
“What are you so surprised about? He can’t stand seeing other girls without me, as long as I’m with him, there’s no problem.”
Illyana laughed.
Could it be that she is confident, but does she openly think that Eun-hyeon will hit her tail?
‘No. He wouldn’t think so.’
Nera knew Illyana well.
They met again after nearly 10 years, but Illyana was still Illyana.
‘He probably just wants to brag about his married self and his husband in front of me. A mean girl.’
Where could that nasty Simbo go?
“Joy. What happened She has something she wanted to tell me right now.”
“What did you want to tell me?”
“Tell me about that later. In the evening she comes to Elder Green’s office. I will tell the wizards of the green tower in advance.”
Illyana realized that Nera had been playing pranks on her with Eunhyeon and Erin, but her real business was with herself.
She nodded her head with a puzzled expression.
“… Okay.”
Before long, Nera’s gaze turned to Erin.
“Sorry. The reaction was so funny that I inadvertently made fun of it?”
“… Joy.”
Despite Nera’s apology, Erin eventually turned her head away and refused to accept it.
Maybe it was because her pouting face was also quite cute, so Nera let out a laugh as if she was having fun.
She simply shook her hand and left the conference room, leaving only Eunhyeon, Aden, and Illyana and Enrin in her conference room.
“Illyana. With Elder Green… Were you close friends?”
“… What. Well.”
It was just a vague idea that she didn’t know if she had to think about it.
Was she close to you and you?
We were also in a relationship where we exchanged bad words without hesitation, saying who would make a man first and get married, and that there would never be a man like him who would take you.
“What’s up? That?”
Upon hearing the relationship between the two exchanging bloody curse words, Eun-hyeon reacted as if she was dumbfounded.
“Still… It was the only motive for working together in the Mage Tower.”
She shared a room in the same dormitory, took magic lessons in the same field, and was one of the few female wizards of her age who had studied the same field.
“Can you guess what it is for?”
“Honestly not at all?”
“I see.”
Eunhyun nodded her head.
Eunhyeon was also concerned about what Nera had to do with Illyana, but she didn’t think that it had bad intentions.
“Erin. What do you think?”
“Um… I think so too.”
If she tried to approach them with bad thoughts, Erin would be the first to notice it.
Then it wouldn’t be bad to wait for dinner in peace when the matter is resolved.
“Heh heh, this old man was going to treat you to a meal for dinner, but I’ll have to postpone my order for later.”
Aden chuckled and moved away.
“What will Erin do? Do you want to go to dinner together?”
“I-I want to go too!”
It was the same that she didn’t like the woman named Nera who flirted with Eun-hyeon, but it seemed that Eun-hyeon and Illyana would be more lonely to act separately from each other than that, so she had no choice but to accompany him.
When we visited the greenery room in time for dinner, Nera led the three of us to a table where food was prepared.
It is also a privilege only for elders to be able to take care of all meals in the elders’ office where they work without going to the cafeteria.
As the dinner was slowly coming to an end, Illyana opened her mouth.
“Will you tell me the business soon?”
“He has a quick temper. It’s nothing special. Just… I called because I wanted to tell you something.”
Nera showed a book she had left on her shelf next to her chair.
After Eunhyeon received the book Nera handed her, she passed it on to Illyana.
“What is this?”
“A book I wrote as a research study. Originally, I was going to tell you 10 years ago, but I couldn’t tell you because your condition looked so dangerous. Now… I don’t know if it will be necessary.”
She stared blankly at her Eun-hyeon, who was passing her own book to her Illyana.
“This…”
She received the book from Eunhyeon and looked at the contents in front of her slowly, hardening her impression.
It was desperately desired 10 years ago, but it is no longer necessary.
In the book Nera gave me, there was a record of research on immortality.
