“What the hell happened?”
After the girls went to the bathroom, Choi Hyun-woo, who noticed this side, carefully opened his mouth.
“… Did Jihyeok fight you again with Yuna?”
“Hey, you don’t know what kind of anger control disorder I am. I will fight and argue with him every day.”
Choi Hyun-woo smiled embarrassedly as if he was shy at my sharp reaction.
“It’s not like that, you and Yuna were often involved in that kind of thing.”
I was bitten by those words, so I shut my mouth for a moment.
“No, I know it well, and it was definitely my fault… Not really this time. I really don’t know why Yuna did that this time either.”
No joke, this time it was really embarrassing.
I suddenly came into the room and started crying all of a sudden, asking what the hell are you doing with nothing to do.
When she sees her crying, did I make a mistake? I was about to think about it.
To that extent, Lee Yu-na burst into tears and tears so sadly that people who saw it felt pity.
It wasn’t acting or anything like that given her personality, and it was clear that there was a reason for that.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.”
Then Ivan muttered, fiddling with the back of his head.
“Hey, this isn’t something to brag about or show off for nothing, so don’t get me wrong? As you may know, Yuna and I entered the academy as joint 1st place.”
“It did.”
“That’s why, at first, the two of us went together very often. At the academy, they call me doing promotional material, and they call me interviewing… I’m not proud of it, but I’m not that ugly, and Yuna is also pretty… At first, I thought I was here to take some kind of photo shoot.”
“Oh, right. Looking at the pamphlet, it seems that you and Yuna took a lot of pictures together. So at first, Sooyoung and I both thought you were seniors.”
Choi Hyun-woo nodded in agreement, and Ivan smiled slightly.
“Anyway, that’s how I felt… Yuna I felt that she was a bit like me. From a young age, I used to pretend to be strong so as not to be underestimated by others, but Yuna and her were also very wary of their surroundings in case anyone else could find them weak.”
Saying that, he let out a small laugh.
“I couldn’t even say goodbye properly. But these days, I thought it had gotten a lot rounder… .”
Ivan wiggled his tail and glanced at him.
“why. what.”
“No, nothing.”
Ivan said to me with his characteristic smirk.
“It’s just because Jihyuk wants you to have deep karma.”
“Oh, I admit that. Heartily.”
Hyun-woo Choi, who had been naturally lifting the dumbbells next to him, nodded his head as if he strongly sympathized with him.
I was about to reply, but suddenly I thought that no one was on my side, so I just shook my head.
“By the way, Jihyuk, can you exercise while you’re not feeling well?”
“Did I get some kind of deathly disease?”
I laughed and responded to Choi Hyun-woo’s words like that.
In fact, until just a moment ago, I was sleeping with a thick blanket covering my neck, so I was so frustrated that I picked up a dumbbell to avoid even moving my body.
Because I hadn’t gotten permission to go out for a walk yet.
“It hurts a little bit because I just lie down. I was really frustrated because I couldn’t even leave the hospital room at will, so I thought I was going to die.”
“Can I bring you a game machine?”
I shook my head at Ivan’s question.
“Well, they said that electromagnetic waves were harmful, and they banned all electronic devices except for cell phones. Even cell phones have a set time limit.”
At those words, Choi Hyun-woo looked around as if something was strange and nodded while watching TV.
“It’s true. The line is drawn.”
“Then, board games or books… .”
Then, the door to the hospital room opened and Han Soo-young, Jin Ye-seul, and Lee Yu-na, whose eyes were still swollen, came in.
“sorry… .”
Lee Yu-na spit out an apology, not knowing who she was going to.
Jin Ye-seul quickly pulled out the chair, and Han Soo-young carefully placed Lee Yu-na in the chair.
Choi Hyun-woo, who was looking at him awkwardly, opened his mouth.
“Yuna, are you okay now?”
“Ah, yes… Sorry for making you worry.”
“What are you sorry for?”
Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul looked at Lee Yu-na for a moment, and made expressions that did not make sense.
In the meantime, Jin Ye-seul, who is closer to her than the two of them, leaned down and started stroking her shoulder and back as if stroking her.
“Can you calm down now? it’s okay?”
Yuuna nodded her head without saying a word.
Then, Han Soo-young narrowed her eyes and looked at this side.
“Jihyuk is you… .”
“Hey, Sooyoung. I didn’t really do anything.”
Hearing my words, her eyes narrowed even more.
“Really? Really, really, is there anything wrong with it?”
“Yeah, really. Why am I lying about this?”
Then, Han Soo-young nodded her head with a cool attitude as if she knew it and looked down at Yu-na.
“Then Yuna can explain.”
“Yes.”
Jin Ye-seul nodded and whispered into Lee Yu-na’s ear in a quiet but sticky voice.
“What do you mean by the aide I mentioned earlier? Can you explain to us?”
I heard it too
Jin Ye-seul was looking at Lee Yu-na with a gaze that seemed not to tolerate rejection.
Yuuna flinched for a moment, then raised her head and looked at me with hardened eyes.
“… yes. I will explain everything.”
Having said that, she looked around and slowly opened her mouth.
“First of all, I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from you guys. It’s funny to come here and say this… I never meant to deceive you.”
With those words, she began to calmly explain.
He had an incurable disease named forty-four.
That I had helped it out of pure kindness, and in the meantime, I found out that the treatment cost a lot of money.
I couldn’t pass it up, so when I tried to repay the favor under the pretext of being hired by me, with the help of Lee Ye-eun’s employee Shin Woo-seok, my name was raised in the name of my entourage, etc… .
She proceeded to explain step by step coherently.
Yet, secretly, she cleverly distorted or did not mention any stories that might have bothered me.
For example, when it was said why I kept my hiring of her a secret.
Lee Yu-na glanced at me and bowed her head as if embarrassed.
“that… I told you to keep it a secret.”
Then, all of a sudden, Jin Ye-seul remembered that she was able to spot lies, and she got goosebumps all over her body.
If I’m wrong here… .
There was a time when I was really nervous about that thought.
Lee Yu-na blinked slightly from an angle that only I could see.
It was a gesture as if he was telling him not to worry and only believe in himself.
“Did you tell me to keep it a secret?”
At Jin Ye-seul’s question, Lee Yu-na nodded her head.
Seeing that, I thought of a hopeful home.
‘Did you already know that you can spot lies? ?’
And as if to prove that my thoughts were correct, she cleverly mixed the truth and began to speak.
“Honestly, I was embarrassed… That, Sooyoung and Hyeonu, I think you know that too. Did you and Jihyeok blush with a similar problem before? There was such a thing, and there were also personal circumstances… First of all, I decided to just keep it a secret.”
Everything she said was true.
I was speaking very cleverly and easily misunderstood, but… First of all, there was no doubt that it was the truth.
“ah… .”
“but.”
And Han Soo-young and Choi Hyeon-woo, who remember the incident at that time, were nodding their heads at her words.
Even Jin Ye-seul was nodding her head reluctantly, with a slightly disapproving expression, as she did not feel that she was lying.
“Then why were you crying?”
Ivan, who had been quietly listening to the story up to this point, focused all eyes on her.
To be honest, it was a story I was curious about, so I turned my gaze to her without realizing it.
“ah… .”
After blinking for a moment, Lee Yuna looked around and quietly opened her mouth.
“Why did I do that… .”
That was then.
I wondered if I could feel the popularity outside the door, and then the door opened immediately.
The person who opened the door was none other than Ahn Joo-hyuk.
“Oh, you woke up. Friends were also there.”
He nodded as if he was happy to see me.
“Like I said yesterday, I’m going to try a different treatment today.”
Then he gently turned around and let the two men waiting behind him go inside.
“Hello, long time no see. Are you healthy? Wow, there was also a boy headman from the Hunt family back then, right?”
“Excuse me, Evangeline.”
They are none other than Evangeline Lohengrin.
And it was Laura Hartmann.
The two of them, dressed in comfortable plain clothes, greeted us while arguing, but they too had bandages or gauze all over their bodies.
In particular, in the case of Laura Hartmann, she suffered a serious internal injury that even my weakened strength could feel.
“Hmm, hmm.”
Ahn Joo-hyuk calmed the two by coughing a little.
Then he looked at me and nodded slightly.
“Then let’s go to treatment. This treatment has to be done in a slightly special place.”
* * *
“… ha.”
Lee Myung-jun sighed heavily and tilted his head back.
In his head, the contents of the conversation he had just had with Alice Blesbuck were running round and round.
Her voice didn’t even show any sign of disappearing, like an echo in her head.
‘I inherited vampire blood from my mother, and human blood from my father. … But I don’t know anything about my father. Perhaps she was eaten by her mother earlier, or she was killed without leaving a trace. My mother literally slept with my father in a sense of entertainment and became pregnant with me. And I don’t know why… He gave birth to me without incident.’
She began to explain her history in a calm voice.
‘Mother… It was a vampire who received the Holy Blood. In a nutshell, can we say that they are the royal family of vampires?’
‘Holy Blood, I know. However, I knew that all vampires with Holy Blood had disappeared hundreds of years ago… Is it possible that Alice your mother is a survivor?’
‘Well… For now.’
Alice Blesbuck continued the explanation in a bitter voice.
‘My mother was a traitor to the clan.’
‘… A traitor?’
‘The seven evil species without a name… Yes, I voluntarily swore obedience to Milited.’
She continued to explain in a calm voice.
‘She said that she invited the other Holy Blood to join her. However, all the other clans rejected my mother’s offer, and my mother was so enraged that she slaughtered the other holy blood and her clan with her own hands as a token of anger and loyalty.’
‘The story… .’
‘It’s a story my mother told me.’
She let out a small laugh.
Lee Myung-joon was also well aware that she had been abused by her mother.
Like ‘I’m wrong, Mom.’ or ‘Forgive me, I’ll do better.’ .

Or ‘I’m a dirty bloody mongrel, I’m sorry I didn’t live up to your expectations.’
‘Anyway, Milited said that he was more passionate about gaining power than other Seven Evil species. Milited had ten particularly powerful henchmen… It was confirmed that there were six living beings before being sealed. and… .’
‘and?’
‘I think there has been an infighting recently. It seems that at least half of them are gone. Evidence and circumstances are sufficient.’
With encouraging news, Alice Blesbuck added quietly.
‘All that’s left is the lich, the dragon, and my mother… This is three.’
Lee Myung-jun, who heard her story, sighed and said,
‘… I hope the reason for saying that is not the reason I think it is.’
‘I’m sorry, but you’re right.’
Soon, Milited’s seal will be broken and released.
At Alice’s words, which were nothing more than an affirmation, Lee Myung-jun felt a headache as if his head was splitting.
“Why the hell did the Seven Evil Bells seal so suddenly… .”
Is the world really going to perish?
He let out a nonsensical sound with a smirk and quietly pulled out his phone.
“Yuzuki, it’s me.”
– boss. What’s happening all of a sudden?
“There are some things I want you to find. I’m really sorry, but please help me.”
― What are some things you would like to find?
“yes.”
— … Wait, yes. Say it now.
“Intellectual dragons and rich-class undead sightings, eyewitness accounts, and data on vampires powerful and intelligent enough to be finally ordered to be exterminated… In any case, scrape all the related stuff.”
– Yes I will.
“From now on… All up to 300 years ago.”
— … I beg your pardon?
He asked her as if he was asking a question, as if he was asking.
“Just gather the data. I’ll take a look.”
— … I’ll try to organize it as soon as possible.
“thank you.”
– Thank you. … I’ll call you later.
After the call ended, Lee Myung-jun slowly got up from his seat.
In his head, a person who defeated a mighty enemy that could not be helped even if all of the Ten Rivers had gathered, including him, came to mind.
“… … .”
And now I couldn’t expect that from him anymore.
Aside from the fact that his body collapsed in return, above all else, he was a young student they had to protect.
“You should do something.”
There was no time to spit out pain or grumbling.
Like the words I just spit out to myself, I had to do everything I could.
