“… Did she say she wanted to trust me?”
Yeeun Lee nodded at my question.
Then, he pulled out a frivolous cell phone with an unusual device from his arms and handed it to me.
“Would you like to contact me? In case you didn’t know, I brought it.”
Yeeun Lee smiled and handed it to me like a note.
“If you contact me through this, there will be no contact anywhere. You don’t have to worry about backtracking or anything like that.”
“thank you.”
“What are you thankful for?”
Yeeun Lee muttered in a serious voice.
“… It seems that something happened very urgently, but rather, I want to ask you.”
As I was about to receive it, Minerva stretched out her tail and took it one step ahead.
With both hands, he held my body tightly, like a cicada hanging from an old tree.
“Hey, here I am.”
“Ah, yes. thank you.”
Minerva skillfully brought it to me.
I dialed Yoon Seul-hye’s number written on the memo and tried to bring it to my ear, but this time she snatched the phone with her tail and brought it to my ear.
“Do you dare to lift this Minerva with one hand? Let me hug you with both hands, and with sincerity and sincerity, my dear.”
As she nodded to her as she whispered, and gave strength to her arms, she burst into laughter with satisfaction.
Then a trembling voice came over the phone.
― Hey, hello… ?
“Yun Seul-hye?”
― Who are you? Who are you… .
“This is Yoo Ji-hyuk. I heard you contacted me.”
At that moment, the sound of swallowing breath was heard over the phone.
Seul-hye Yoon hesitated for a moment and asked me in a trembling voice.
― Am I really Yoo Ji-hyuk? The world tree clan… .
“Yes, it’s Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was holding your hand and trying to infuse some strange magic.”
At those words, Ye-eun Lee’s eyes became sharp.
Choi Hyun-woo thought it was a sensitive matter to listen to, so he quietly took his sword and went outside and closed the door silently.
– that… .
“Let’s put aside the old stories and talk about the main point.”
In fact, why she suddenly contacted me like this, and even said that she wanted to entrust me, I had a rough idea.
Perhaps she, in her own way, noticed what was happening inside the upbringing.
“You want to trust me?”
— … Yes.
“What exactly do you mean and how do you want to do it?”
– Please protect me.
Yoon Seul-hye said as if waiting.
– Please save my life. If yes, I will do anything. Really.
“… Who do you want to protect?”
– that… .
I coughed a little and purposely cut her off.
“If you want to ask for something, wouldn’t it be the first time to at least talk to each other openly? At least I think so.”
She didn’t even respond to my sudden remark.
After hesitating for a while, she said that she had finally made up her mind, as if throwing it away.
– From the association.
I laughed a little at her words.
“You have to be precise. Aren’t you supposed to tell Yook Sung, to be precise, to protect him from Randsch, who had colluded with Choi Jun-hyung?”
– Well, how… !?
Yoon Seul-hye muttered like that and said in an urgent voice.
– No, that’s right. Please, please. Please keep me from them! Well, then I’ll do everything you say. Really!
She added in a soft, trembling voice.
― Oh, I got a phone call from Xiaojie unnie earlier. Please be careful as your side may come in contact with you by making strange noises.
Randsch’s actions were clear.
He was a dragon and an excellent alchemist, so making a doll out of a corpse would have been easy.
― Oh, I heard the sound of my sister dying. With my ears, I could clearly hear the screams of my sister as she died… ! But the voice of my sister who called me was definitely her voice… ! Uh, sooner or later I’ll be like that. No, maybe even worse than that, so please. please me… !
“why me?”
— … Yeah?
“Why do I have to protect him?”
Saying that, I quietly sat down on the sofa.
In the meantime, Minerva, who was hanging from my body, procrastinated, and hung with both hands around my neck.
I cautiously tried to hand over the phone from her, but immediately she frowned and I was forced to let her do what she wanted.
“To be honest, I don’t know why he asks me like that. Were we like that?”
– That’s, so… .
“You’re not saying you can’t remember what you were going to do to me, are you?”
Meanwhile, Minerva procrastinated and came to my ear and whispered.
“I have sent an assassin to your bedroom before. A woman named Yoon Seul-hye ordered it.”
“… They send strange people to places where other people sleep.”
― Well, as expected, you are Manchas… ! Oh no, it’s not… that is… !
Yoon Seul-hye hurriedly added that she was afraid that I would hang up the phone in any case.
― I, please! As you said earlier, let’s ask the story of the past and get to the point! So, please help me… ! I really don’t want to die, I don’t want to die like that… ! It’s not like I’ve been living so far to die like that!
Yoon Seul-hye had the momentum to kneel down if I had been in front of her.
– Save me, please… ! My, I do everything! You don’t know, me, I’m a great person! I have a lot of connections in the entertainment industry and politics, and if I say a word, the public will move… ! Also, I’m pretty pretty enough like this, right? and… and… !
At the end of the gibberish, she cried and burst into tears.
– Lord, I don’t want to die… please… . Please, please, save me… Yoo Ji-hyuk, what should I call you? Yeah? Do you call me master? Please, I’ll do anything really. I’ll do it all. I’m not lying, so please save me. please… .
I glanced at Yeeun Lee at the sound of her screaming and whimpering voice.
I sighed quietly as I watched her nod slightly.
“… Can you really do anything?”
– yes? Yes Yes! If you just let me live, I’ll do everything for you! what is that… You can also leave the association and move directly to it. So… !
“Okay, I know, can you please be quiet? Let’s think about it.”
At my words, Seul-hye Yoon immediately stopped talking.
There was a continuous squeaking sound, but at one point, only a low hissing sound could be heard as he covered his mouth with his hand.
‘Then what to do… .’
In fact, it was not for me to know whether Seul-hye Yoon died or not.
As I said earlier, she was the person Jun-hyung Choi had attached to me to protect my life, and she actually did a lot of things for me.
Then he said that he was going to die, so he would betray him first and then stick to this side, but if he thinks the other way around, he could betray this one again and stick to that one depending on the situation.
In the meantime, Seul-hye Yoon said in a crawling voice, apparently noticing my thoughts the other way around.
― I, I really have nowhere else to go without you… please… Even if I sell it off and make a big ball, huh… ! Still, I’m sure you’ll kill me if you keep your mouth shut… .
Her words made me think a little more.
Then a good idea came to mind, and he nodded and said to her.
“You really can do anything?”
– Yes Yes… ! I’ll do anything really.
“Then let’s meet again tomorrow and talk. Then we talked in detail… How about thinking about whether we can save you or not?”
At those words, Seul-hye Yoon burst into tears.
After sobbing and crying for a while, she answered in a more polite voice.
– yes. I’ll wait… So please, just save me… .
“I’ll call you back tomorrow.”
– Yes Yes… .
When I finished the call with those words, Yeeun Lee shook her head and asked me.
“What are you going to do?”
“I do not know. What should I do.”
Ye-eun Lee sighed and took a chair and sat down in front of me.
“Did I tell you that someone I planted before? I’m saying it doesn’t matter if I say it now… It was Xiaojie, who was a member of the upbringing. She was the spy I planted.”
Saying that, Yeeun Lee moved her head back and forth and tapped Minerva’s tail and said.
“Hey, it’s good to be attached to ‘My Lovely Little Sister’, but won’t you turn your body a little to the side? Because of you, I can’t talk with Jihyuk looking into his eyes.”
I gently pat Minerva’s back with my hand.
Then, as if she really hated her, who had not shown any reaction to Yeeun Lee’s words, she reluctantly moved.
Lee Ye-eun, who barely made eye contact with me, was making an expression that she didn’t like me very much.
“… Anyway, I lost contact with her a few hours ago. Judging from the story of that child named Yoon Seul-hye earlier, it must have been that he died because he was found out.”
“It’s not just her. Except for Choi Jun-hyung and Yoon Seul-hye, all the upbringings were dead.”
At that, Yeeun Lee nodded indifferently.
“It was faster than expected. So, that’s why Jihyuk told you that before. Should I say that I’m lucky, seven times… Hmm. The people Minerva killed were the ones who didn’t care if they died. In the case of Nile-seong and Lee Yun-seong, I was able to contain them from this side at any time.”
Na Il-jun’s father, and Lee Ye-eun, who said the name of the man who once led the branches of the World Tree, nodded as if it was nothing special.
“Because I told you, I’m going to rip off all of my limbs in no time. What are you going to do when you guys lose all their foundations? No need to worry too much.”
She shrugged slightly.
“Then I’ll see the time and deal with it in moderation.”
Nodding my head at her words, I passed on to her what I had just said.
“You know that Seul-hye Yoon said that she was going to hold a concert at the academy, right? Perhaps because of the huge amount of support from the association, and also because of the passing of the commemorative festival, the academy seems to be intentionally increasing the scale of this concert and showing it off to the outside world.”
“Well… Well, what Jihyuk thought you were right.”
“He said he would take advantage of that time to target me.”
At that, Yeeun Lee smiled.
“Aha, Jang Gye-chwi-gye?”
“Yes? Small, what?”
Ye-eun was slightly embarrassed and waved her hand.
“uh… no. just have to be sarcastic So, is it true that Ji-hyeok is using your words against the other person’s intentions?”
I nodded.
Because it was what she said.
If this side notices in advance the place and time when the opponent will attack, it can outwit you deeply.
If you do well, you might be able to catch and kill Randsch on the spot.
The question was whether Yoon Seul-hye could really be trusted, and whether she could weave them well.
‘What… Even if it fails, only Yoon Seul-hye will be sad.’
“First, let’s go check it out with Yesul. Yeseul can tell if the other person is lying or not… It won’t be too late to think about it after checking the truth first.”
“Why, do you want to save him as he asked?”
At Lee Ye-eun’s question, I burst into laughter.
“If you are lucky, you will live. If the plan goes well, all the guys after her will not be able to make it through the day.”
Yeeun Lee nodded her head to see if those words alone were enough to answer.
Then he got up and held out his hand to me.
“I will wait for you guys. Let’s go and eat first.”
I grabbed her hand and got up straight away.
… Minerva was still hanging in my arms.
“ah.”
When I checked my phone, there was a text message from an unknown number.

“… … .”
EMD.
Amelda.
Esmeralda Listener.
I immediately put in a text message asking when I would be able to consult.
Then I got a reply saying it was possible at any time, and I replied that I would contact you again tomorrow.
Boo Woong.
“yes?”
The cell phone rang again.
This time I checked to see if the text was from Esmeralda, but this time it wasn’t from her.
It was Evangeline Lohengrin’s number.
It was also a number she had just saved, which she said was for privacy.
I immediately checked the contents of the text to see what had happened.
Hello, dear customers♡
“… yes?”
Something a bit strange, so I double-checked the number.
Her number was clear.
“what?”
You must be busy, but I’ll text you like this~ (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) و ♡

“… … .”
I couldn’t say anything for some reason, thinking about how she, who was usually portraying the image of a witch with a mysterious atmosphere in all kinds of media, sent this text message while holding her cell phone.
Even with a robe and a big cone hat.
I had no choice but to reply that I would send you the plan as soon as possible.
“… I will be busy from tomorrow.”
Mumbling involuntarily, I hugged Minerva again.
The only problem that immediately comes to mind is the meeting between Seul-hye Yoon, Lydia, and Esmeralda.
Alice Blesbuck and Cass Lyle’s visits to the research facility were littered with urgent issues to deal with.
… And I had to send the plan to Evangeline Lohengrin.
‘Well, when were you relaxed?’
With that in mind, I followed Yeeun Lee’s guidance.
