– long time no see.
Lee Myung-jun, who heard Alice Blesbuck’s voice, nodded involuntarily even though she couldn’t see her.
“I know.”
He asked her right away.
“You’re coming home all of a sudden… Are you done with all your work?”
– It’s not all over, but… There’s nothing more I can do. Now is the time to calmly prepare.
“Well, it’s been a long time since the workshop was empty. Cas must have had a lot of trouble cleaning it up.”
At Lee Myung-jun’s words, Alice Blessbuck burst out a small laugh.
― We were going to meet and talk about the details. but… I thought it would be better to talk to you as soon as possible, so I contacted you this way.
Lee Myung-joon let out a small breath as if telling him to speak.
Alice Blesbuck sighed quietly.
— … There were other people Myeong-jun could talk to besides you.
“Well?”
– Lyle… and Yoo Ji-hyuk. I have to tell these two people myself.
“okay.”
Instinctively, he could see that she was going to unravel all the stories she had been hiding within.
“I have to meet and talk to the two of them in person.”
– That’s right.
After answering that, Alice exhaled as if she had been cheering.
― First of all, as you know, three seals of the Seven Evil Orders have already been unlocked. you know that
“The incident in Yeouido, once within the territory of the World Tree clan. And this time, the seven evils… According to the records, the Seven Devils were named Minerva. three like this.”
– right. And I was searching for the seal of the fourth Seven Evils as you know Myung-Jun. Known to be dormant in the Baltic Sea… .
“You mean the unnamed Seven Devils?”
— … That’s right, that seven evil species without a name.
Alice Blesbuck paused for a moment, then sighed and spoke to him.
― The seven evil bells had so many names that they were called without names. and… There is a name that the Seven Musical Bells took for a long time.
Milted.
That’s the name he came up with.
Alice Blesbuck mumbled so.
Lee Myung-joon just quietly listened to her.
– Come to think of it… .
Then, Alice muttered in a voice that seemed to miss her suddenly.
– Myung-jun, it’s been quite a while since you and I met.
“right. We’ve known each other for at least 30 years.”
He answered with a slight frown.
– Has that already happened? Myung-jun was very cute when I first met you too.
“Since I first met you… It has always been that way.”
– Because it’s a mixed blood of vampires. I am aging late.
“Yeah, that’s what I said back then.”
In fact, it’s the same with Alice Blesbuck… Although there were few cases of so-called mixed race of different races, it was not rare.
Also, he knew more about mixed races like her than the general public.
For example, mixed races will inherit the qualities of both.
It was a case of being able to breathe underwater if she was of mixed blood with a mermaid, or if she was of mixed blood with a siren, her voice was beautiful and instinctively attracted others.
“… … .”
And he was well aware of the fact that the blood on either side fades over time.
Human blood or non-human blood.
All the mixed races that appeared up to this time were around the age of 30, when one side of the blood thickened and swallowed the other, and there was no exception.

Only Alice Blesbuck, except for her one.
“… … .”
He didn’t even know how old she was.

One thing is for sure, at least 30 years of age has passed long ago, and also vampires and humans.
The characteristics of both were still maintained.
And this was a story that simply could not be explained by the fact that she was an excellent alchemist and a shaman.
— … There are so many things I have to say, but first of all, Myung-jun should tell you this.
And as if she had known his thoughts from the beginning, she let out a small sigh and muttered.
As if trying to hide her trembling voice, she deliberately let out a sigh several times before opening her mouth quietly.
― Myung-jun, as you already know… I am different from the usual mixed races.
“okay.”
― I am a half vampire who will turn 236 this year… It is also known as Dhampir in the local language.
Lee Myung-jun quietly nodded his head.
— … And my real name wasn’t Alice Blesbuck, it was Alice Milited.
He quietly closed his eyes at her words.
It’s a lot bigger than I expected,” he muttered involuntarily.
* * *
“It’s not the first time we’ve met, but I think it’s the first time we’ve been together like this.”
At the sound of the voice, Lee Yuna bowed her head slightly.
“My name is Yu-na, please take care of me.”
“This is Yeeun Lee. I wish you well too.”
Yeeun Lee said so and naturally raised her hands on the desk and said.
“Actually, I was going to meet you sometime… I didn’t know that they would ask me to meet you first.”
She was looking at Yuuna.
“It must also be through Shin Woo-seok, that person.”
“I’m sorry for making such a sudden request.”
“No, as I said before, I was going to meet you soon, so it’s absolutely not a nuisance or anything like that. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Ye-eun Lee, although a little withdrawn, shook her head as she glanced at Yu-na, who was sitting upright and upright.
“I personally had a lot of questions about Ji-hyuk, the first henchman and aide he picked… It was because I needed to talk.”
Ye-eun Lee muttered as she looked at Yu-na, who lowered her head slightly and avoided her gaze as if she didn’t like it.
“If you approached the child with some strange intentions… As a sister, and as the head of the family, I couldn’t stay still.”
At those words, Lee Yu-na’s body trembled and trembled.
Then she slowly raised her head and looked at Yeeun Lee.
Golden and light brown eyes met in the air.
“… therefore.”
“Well?”
“So, how about seeing it for yourself?”
In response to Lee Yu-na’s daring question, Ye-eun Lee smiled a little, even for a moment.
Then he answered with a soft expression that contrasted with the previous one.
“It’s just… Also, I think Jihyuk has eyes for people. I don’t think there is any need for me to panic and worry.”
She added in a quiet voice.
“Actually, all my friends around me were like that. everyone… They weren’t, but most of them were outstanding kids with no corners. But that… I’m sorry, what was your name?”
“Why?”
“Yes, Yuna-san. However, it was a little surprising to have Yuna as an entourage. If you bring him in as an aide, Hyun-Woo Choi, or Su-Young Han if you don’t. Or I thought I would bring in Miss Jin Ye-seul first.”
With those words, Ye-eun Lee clasped her hands and looked at Yu-na carefully.
“Due to parental conflicts and family circumstances, I was entrusted to an orphanage run by nuns, and I grew up there ever since. Her biological parents haven’t met in recent years, and she has turned down all adoption offers. Entered the academy as joint 1st place… He said that he used the money he earned from his work for debt, and took that debt on his own because of the orphanage where he had grown up… .”
“… This is my story.”
Lee Ye-eun smiled softly at Lee Yu-na’s murmuring.
“Are you in a bad mood? If so, I apologize. But I hope you understand my position as well.”
At Lee Ye-eun’s words, Lee Yu-na nodded slightly.
“Yes, I understand. From a senior’s point of view, it must be like that.”
“… Senior?”
With a fresh smile and her head tilted as if she had heard something wrong, Lee Yu-na was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and answered.
“My employer is Jihyuk. I am not your senior.”
In response, Yeeun Lee opened her eyes as if she was a little surprised, and nodded her head slightly.
“… Yes. Your owner is Jihyeok, not me.”
That’s great.
After muttering like that, she looked at Yuuna with a gaze that was even more interesting than before.
“Then why did you suddenly ask to meet me?”
“… First of all, I would like to apologize.”
With those words, Lee Yu-na got up from her seat and bowed her head to her.
“I stopped listening to you talking about Jihyuk’s physical condition yesterday.”
At those words, Ye-eun Lee flinched as if she was really surprised.
“You eavesdropped? The conversation between me and Ahn Joo-hyuk?”
“yes.”
“… … There is a reason why Jihyuk chose him as an aide. I hope you will deceive me and the eyes of Sipgang.”
As if she ate one bite, she asked with sincere admiration.
“So what do you want to say?”
“How long… Are you going to keep it a secret from Jihyuk?”
Lee Ye-eun was silent at Lee Yu-na’s question.
And Lee Yu-na, convinced that her premonition was correct, opened her mouth.
“You can keep it a secret from other kids. But, at least for Jihyuk… !”
“then.”
Ye-eun Lee, who cut off Lee Yu-na’s words coldly, slowly raised her head.
And she said with a sad smile.
“Then what should I say to Jihyuk?”
“that… .”
“There’s nothing to hide since you’ve already heard everything, do you know how Jihyuk’s body is now?”
Ye-eun clenched her teeth and bit her lip.
“Let me put it simply. Jihyuk’s strength level right now is not even that of a lower grader in elementary school. It’s not like I’ve lost any weight or my muscle mass has changed, but because of one curse, my body has become that way! Do you know if it’s just strength? Not just strength, but everything… !”
Yeeun Lee, who cried out for a moment as if she was crying, immediately closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
And then he muttered like a lament.
“It was covered with the blood of the Seven Evils… Still, the raw blood of a dragon is extremely poisonous, but there are seven evil species… !”
Lee Ye-eun, who brought one hand to her forehead as if it was trembling, sighed a little.
“… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to blame you. It was Jihyuk’s own choice and decision he made, and as a result, it was a noble sacrifice. Calling it pitiful or pitiful would be an insult, but… .”
She continued to speak while hiding her expression from Lee Yu-na.
But the voice could not be hidden.
Ye-eun Lee said with a shriek.
“But, what are you going to say?”
“… … .”
“Your body has been destroyed by the curse. Due to the curse that even the best healers can’t guarantee, the whole body is getting weaker, and now there are no heroes or hunters. No, even everyday life may be difficult. It was a fate that I never knew when I would die there.”
For a moment, what passed through Lee Yu-na’s head was the figure of him vomiting black, dead blood.
In the meantime, Yeeun Lee burst out a small laugh and was able to get away from her thoughts.
“Are you saying this? see me?”
When our eyes met her, I shrugged without realizing it.
“Ah, I am. just… .”
“It was very difficult to get used to a breakup.”
Ye-eun exhaled quietly.
“I lost my mother when I was young and recently my father. And now, I feel like I’m losing another family.”
“… … .”
Yuna couldn’t say anything.
I couldn’t do it.
“You are right. You’re right, it’s the child’s condition anyway, and the child has a right to know.”
However.
Yeeun Lee shook her head slightly.
“I don’t know. No, I can’t. At least I can’t say it now. How… .”
Eventually, she burst into tears.
“How the hell are you going to say… .”
As if unable to look directly at Yeeun Lee, who had started crying, Yuna just kept her head down.
There was still a strong sense of guilt in her heart, ‘If only she had been a little stronger’.
“… It was a pleasure to talk to you.”
After a while, she seemed to be able to calm down and quietly covered her eyes with a handkerchief.
Even if he was embarrassed, he deliberately opened his mouth without looking at the reason or the other side.
“And I’m sorry, but could you please leave? After a while… I have an important business to do.”
“Is this important?”
“yes.”
Yeeun Lee pondered for a moment, then nodded her head.
Yeah, I’ll have to tell this kid in case anyone else knows.
“The association is planning interesting things. Even with Jihyuk.”
You have to decide how to react to it.
At those words, which were nothing but celebrations, Yuna had no choice but to bow her head and say goodbye.
“… Oh.”
After all, the time has come for the children to visit.
Lee Yu-na, thinking like that, suddenly realized that she had walked aimlessly and arrived in front of the hospital room where Yoo Ji-hyuk was hospitalized.
“… … .”
She took a few deep breaths in front of the hospital room.
He seemed blunt, but he was quite quick-witted.
He took a few deep breaths and slowly opened the door, thinking he might notice something strange about his mood if he did it wrong.
and… .
“Oh, it’s Yuna. hi.”
“… uh?”
When she opened the door and entered, she could see Yoo Ji-hyeok exercising with a small dumbbell.
He held a 2 kg dumbbell in his hand.
It was embarrassing to even call it a dumbbell.
Even after intense exercise, I saw him drenched in sweat. Without realizing it, I asked him with a sharp voice.
“… What are you doing now?”
“Uh, just to be there, do some simple exercise… .”
“What are you doing now?”
“What?”
It was a voice that couldn’t help being nervous even if you heard it.
And Yoo Ji-hyeok, who looked at Lee Yu-na to see if he noticed it, made a bewildered, startled, and bewildered expression on his face.
“Hey, hey, why are you like this?”
“What… .”
Lee Yuna snorted and swallowed her nose and responded nervously.
“What are you doing right now, you… .”
Yoo Ji-hyuk seemed to be genuinely perplexed as he saw Lee Yu-na who started to sniff and cry immediately.
And the reason why I was embarrassed was the same as well.
She, too, couldn’t quite figure out why she had suddenly burst into tears so horribly.
Remembering yesterday he was spitting up black, dead blood?
Read At noblemtl.com
Or is it because you remembered Yeeun Lee who was sobbing earlier?
Read At noblemtl.com
Or was it that he, who was so strong, was seen gasping with a dumbbell weighing only 2kg?
It was something she couldn’t even understand.
“Hey, what the heck… .”
“Hey, hey. It’s Yuna. Just calm down for a bit.”
“I, I am your close confidant… This is it, hehe! why… !”
“Ai, where was the toilet paper?”
He hurriedly picked up a tissue and handed it to her.
Sighing, Yuuna continued to wipe the tears away, and only after seeing her calmed down a bit and wiping the tears did he ask carefully.
“… Are you okay now?”
Yuuna nodded her head without saying a word.
“What’s going on, huh… Yuna, are you really okay?”
The moment he saw him asking that he was genuinely worried, Yuna was moved to tears and felt something coming up inside.
Who the hell is worrying about whom now?
“ah.”
Then, when she realized that she had done something very shameful, she let out a small sound of pain.
“I, go to the bathroom so I can wipe my face for a while… .”
“Then do you want to use what is in the hospital room?”
“Oh, no. I’ll just go to the place in the hallway… .”
With those words, Lee Yu-na stepped backwards and ran out of the hospital room, and the moment she let out a shrill, squeaky sound.
Because they found a series of hordes waiting outside.
“Hey, guys… .”
Yoona trembled as if she had committed a serious sin.
Their gaze was focused on Lee Yu-na, who had just burst into tears.
“… … .”
“… … .”
In particular, Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul, the two of them, were literally staring at her.
