[The news just received says that Examiner Baek Seojin encountered Elder Hyeon Sujin. Don't worry. Fortunately, it seems Irina followed the trail and imdiately engaged in combat, and the Elder retreated. Examiner Baek Seojin sustained no injuries whatsoever.]
The mont I heard grandfather's words, a sigh of relief naturally flowed out. How shocked I was by the sudden news. My heart is still beating roughly.
'Thank goodness. Thank goodness.'
I was about to go imdiately to where the examiner was said to be. But the next words from grandfather made my heart surge again.
[However, the place where he was staying was completely destroyed. In a hurry, that Irina girl took Examiner Baek Seojin with her. From what I heard about the situation there, it seems like she's trying to take him directly to a hotel...]
The next content didn't enter my ears at all.
What's important right now is only one thing. That woman Irina is next to the examiner.
"Grandfather."
[Yes, what is it?]
"Where does that woman live?"
[Why suddenly that?]
Grandfather, who was asking that, also seed to notice sothing. I could see so anxious emotion passing through his expression of disbelief.
[...Are you worried about that, Suhyeon?]
"You said Irina took him."
[Well, no matter what, everyone has eyes to see the world, so she wouldn't do such a thing...]
As expected, grandfather's words were cut off there. He's not confident. Not confident that Irina will think normally and act normally.
[...That girl would do it and more.]
He imdiately agreed and I asked again. Exactly where is Irina's house? Where should I go?
Then grandfather thought a bit more and answered.
[It's where Dogyeong and Jisu are. Your cousin brother and sister.]
"You an the Special Residential District."
[Yes. The exact location is...]
Fortunately, grandfather was acquainted with Irina's parents. He said he was once invited to their house and even had tea. Thanks to that, I could imdiately know exactly where Irina's house was.
"Thank you, grandfather. Really thank you. You're always my benefactor."
[You, you girl. Suddenly what. Anyway, I hope things work out well. This old man is always cheering for you. And I always love you. My granddaughter.]
Grandfather ended the call with those words. It seems he's roughly figured out what kind of feelings I have for the examiner. The words of support and helping like this are probably for that reason.
'That's why I must rescue the examiner from that woman's clutches even more!'
Irina, that woman, is looking at the examiner with impure intentions. I can feel it. Very strongly. That's definitely not the sa pure heart as mine. A child who found an amazing toy. Right. Irina is exactly in that state now.
I imdiately called a vehicle, got on, and headed to the Special Residential District. I'm very sorry to the driver and security personnel who responded to the sudden movent. But, but it can't be helped. I just hope they understand just this once.
It didn't take long to get to the Special Residential District. Luckily it was located not far from ho. Plus I hurried as soon as I heard the news.
"Stop!"
Several ability users standing in front stop the vehicle.
I'm not registered as a resident of this Special Residential District. Therefore, in principle, entry should be impossible.
But Dogyeong oppa and Jisu. My cousin brother and sister live right here. So I've occasionally co here to et those two people. And grandfather said he'd already taken asures.
Thanks to that, there was no problem entering like this.
"How did you co... Ah. Yes! Confird!"
Gliding smoothly inside, we stopped in front of an apartnt. This is it. The place where Irina's house is, as grandfather told .
"I'm really sorry to everyone for the late hour."
"Not at all, miss. We just did our job."
"Thank you. And don't wait for , please leave work first."
At my words, the driver and security personnel show flustered expressions.
Security is one thing since there's no safer place than here. But telling even the driver to leave work ans staying here for a day. That wasn't in the schedule, so it's understandable they'd react like that.
"Don't worry. Grandfather already knows."
When I said that, these people finally nodded and agreed.
"We'll be going, miss. Call us tomorrow and we'll co imdiately."
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work today too."
I saw off the driver and security personnel and sent them away from here. Then I imdiately walked busily to the place grandfather had told about.
'They haven't arrived yet and aren't inside already, right?'
With worried feelings, I looked around outside before going in. Fortunately, the lights aren't on yet. But I can't be relieved. I took the elevator up and even put my ear to the front door.
'...I can't hear anything.'
Really fortunate. It's not too late yet. Yes, they haven't co yet.
What I had to do after that was simple. Wait until the examiner and Irina co. And after waiting about 10 more minutes? The elevator started going down to the first floor. At the sa ti, I felt it. Very faintly, but this is definitely the examiner's aura.
The brief wait felt like eternity. Could it be that Irina, that woman, already committed rudeness to the examiner? While biting my lip and waiting, the elevator door finally opened.
"...Ah, that startled ! What, who are you!?"
Irina screaming alone and covering her own mouth alone. But I didn't have the leisure to pay attention to that woman. I deliberately ignored Irina and checked behind her.
...Thank goodness. You're perfectly fine.
"Examiner."
"Suhyeon?"
The examiner shows a very surprised expression. It seems he never expected to see here.
'Thank goodness.'
Yes, thank goodness. That you weren't hurt. And really thank goodness. That I'm not too late.
*
The Special Residential District, and among that, the house of Irina, said to be South Korea's strongest. I had so curiosity about what that place would look like.
"..."
"..."
But now there was a bigger problem facing than that curiosity.
Three n and won sitting around one table. One is Irina, one is Suhyeon, and the other is naturally . These three were sohow having an uncomfortably awkward three-way confrontation.
'How on earth did the situation co to this point?'
Right. This is all because of Hyeon Sujin. Because of the Elder, the villain!
She said she ca to inform of birth secrets or ugly truths... Damn, but I'd like to decline such trials coming with it!
"Alright. Let's start by organizing things."
It's better for to step forward first for both of them. So I turned my head toward Suhyeon and continued speaking.
"So, Suhyeon. You coming here was... because you were worried about ."
"Yes. I was worried about the examiner, so I couldn't just stay still."
I see. Yes, this examiner fully understands your words.
The encounter with an Elder again, the house collapsing, and coming to Irina's house. I understand. I more than understand. Anyone else would have done the sa.
But what to do? Our Irina sitting next to doesn't seem to have any intention of understanding.
"Wow. This is really absurd. Hey. Kim Suhyeon. What, am I going to eat Seojin oppa or sothing?"
"Yes."
Suhyeon gives an imdiate answer as soon as Irina finishes speaking.
A quite sharp voice, and eyes clearly wary. From Irina's perspective, who's not particularly kind to others, this could be anger-inducing behavior.
So I tried to give Suhyeon a hint to be careful. But this ti too, Suhyeon's reaction was faster than my action.
"Aren't you?"
Well, Suhyeon. I know you hate Irina. But Irina wouldn't really try to eat ...
"..."
What? Why aren't you answering? You can answer, can't you? Irina, you weren't really trying to eat , were you?
"You're not answering. Can't you?"
Suhyeon also picks up on that part and slightly pressures Irina. Finally coming to her senses, Irina slams the table with a bang! ...Did this not crack? I thought it would break imdiately, but it's quite sturdy.
"Hey. You keep making out to be a weird person. This is rude."
"Rude."
"Of course."
"Forcibly bringing soone who lost their ho like this and calling it rude."
"Since he lost his ho, our hou... Argh! Fine! My house! Happy?!"
Right, well done. Irina. This isn't our house but your house. From my position, it's thoroughly soone else's house. So. One. Else's. House.
"Anyway! I was going to let him stay one night at my house. Tomorrow Seojin oppa is moving here anyway! As a future neighbor, I'm showing kindness once, but calling it rude? This is defamation!"
"If you were going to do that, there are hotels, and other safe houses too."
"Oh really? Listen here, miss? An Elder ca and went. And it's a shadow that's unparalleled in stealth. The governnt curses that traitor woman ca and went!"
Precisely speaking, rather than traitor, she's closer to a vengeful spirit. But there's no need to say that now, so I just sat quietly.
"In such a situation, where do you think would be safe imdiately? Right here, my house."
"..."
"See? You can't refute it either. Because what I'm saying is right. Right?"
Honestly, looking at just that part, I don't have confidence to refute it either. A safe place when an Elder is showing interest in ? As Irina said, such a place was only Irina's house.
"...I acknowledge it. Yes, I'll acknowledge it."
"Right? Then apologize imdiately..."
"So I'll also stay here briefly until tomorrow."
Both Irina and I reflexively asked "What?" at the sa ti.
"I said I'll stay here together until tomorrow. When the examiner leaves, I'll leave together then too."
"What sudden bullsh..."
"If you're kind enough to show such kindness to the examiner, you can show it to other people too, right? I even sent the driver back, so you can do that for , can't you?"
If she really ca here out of pure heart and pure kindness, wouldn't this be a situation she could accept sufficiently?
At Suhyeon's question, Irina couldn't say anything.
'Checkmate.'
This is incredible. The Crimson Witch landed a proper hit on the crazy yellow woman.
