“It was said that the ordinary citizens who came to the museum were all safe.”

“That’s relief.”

The fact that the Praus Cult imprisoned an entire museum in a veil became quite famous.

It was only natural that all of them, including ordinary citizens, from foreigners who came on a trip to celebrities, all disappeared together.

I checked the picture displayed on the tablet PC that Cheon Sa-yeon gave me. It was a clear photograph of the orange veil surrounding the museum.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was staring at me with his arms crossed, raised the corners of his lips and added playfully.

“It must be fortunate, including the fact that ordinary people don’t remember what happened in fairy tales.”

“……”

I couldn’t deny that at all.

The mental-controlled team members remembered everything that had happened. However, all of the ordinary and low-rank visitors lost their memories.

It was fortunate that all ordinary people forgot about me pretending to be a prince in a fairy tale or having a wedding with Ha Tae-heon.

‘Well, from the point of view of those people, it’s much better not to remember.’

The man who played the role of wielding a whip against Kim Woo-jin or those who played the role of soldiers were only suffering from trauma if they remembered. Above all, they were victims of forced involvement in our work.

“In the afternoon, Master Hong Si-ah and Talented Cha Soo-yeon from the Jayna Guild will visit the guild. They wanted to meet you.”

“I don’t mind. Just empty one drawing-room.”

“And…”

Cheon Sa-yeon shifted his gaze to the person who was clinging to me.

“How long are you going to keep it?”

“What do you say, to the guild member.”

Kim Woo-jin’s clone, who was pointed by Cheon Sa-yeon, blinked slowly. Then he tightened his arms around my waist.

It had been quite a while since I had held Kim Woo-jin’s clone, so I honestly liked it. As much as I had an awkward relationship with Kim Woo-jin, I was a little sad that the clone also widened the distance.

Kim Woo-jin was currently consulting with a psychological expert with Cheon Sa-yeon’s consideration. His body was all healed without any injuries, but his mind was difficult to do that, so he needed proper treatment and counseling. He would receive counseling from time to time.

Kim Woo-jin and his clone were connected, so I let it stick together with me so that Kim Woo-jin, who was consulting with a stranger, could have his heart at ease even a little bit. I also stroke his hair sometimes.

As we stared blankly, Cheon Sa-yeon took a deep breath and continued explaining.

“Edward, who is in Korea, also said that he would come to visit separately soon, so he lets you know in advance.”

“All right.”

“Originally, there were a lot of places called you, including the guild management headquarters, but Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk adjusted the schedule so that if possible, it could be resolved within the guild.”

“Ah.”

I remembered what Woo Seo-hyuk said that he would help me rest after this work was over. I didn’t expect him to really care about it. When I meet Woo Seo-hyuk later, I should say thank you.

“You’re very popular, our Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who realized that Woo Seo-hyeok had deliberately touched my schedule, said with an annoyed smile.

It wasn’t for a day or two that Cheon Sa-yeon showed such jealousy, so it wasn’t surprise now.

“Because I was having a hard time, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk took care of me. Why are you sarcastic about it? If you are dissatisfied, you should help me too.”

“Who really gave the final approval?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you so much for that.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who smiled brightly, got up from his seat. Then he notified me just before he left the ward.

“You haven’t forgotten that you have to grant me a wish, have you? I look forward to it.”

Oops. I completely forgot.

There were so many things that happened in the space that Abel had made, there were a lot of things to sort out. I rubbed my throbbing forehead.

* * *

“Really thank you!”

“Pardon?”

Cha Soo-yeon, who came to the Requiem Guild drawing-room after being guided by the attendant, thanked me as soon as she came in.

When I turned my gaze to Hong Si-ah, who was following her, she shrugged her shoulders lightly and opened her mouth instead.

“She’s talking about the museum incident. Soo-yeonie’s family was also part of the museum visitors.”

“Is that really true?”

When I asked again in surprise, Cha Soo-yeon nodded her head with tears in her face, much more haggard than before.

“Uung, my mom and my brother… still, everyone is fine. I heard you worked hard to keep people from getting hurt in the space? It’s thanks to you. Thank you.”

“I didn’t. I haven’t done anything. I’m glad that your family came back safely and without serious injuries.”

Time flowed differently inside and outside the space. Cha Soo-yeon was skinnier than before, probably because she had suffered a lot during the two weeks that the museum was engulfed in the veil.

“I heard the explanation from Master Lee Joo-ha. The Prauss Cult… is it the work of these guys?”

Hong Si-ah asked in a slightly lowered voice. As the art museum problem spread widely, I couldn’t hide it anymore, so I honestly told her.

“You’re right. The terrorist attack on the D45 Area gate owned by Roheon was also the work of the Praus Cult.”

“There could have been a lot of casualties this time, too. Can’t we just leave it alone?”

“Roheon and Requiem are working together to capture the main members of the Praus Cult.”

We didn’t know what happened to Abel, who lost her energy because of Ha Tae-heon’s sword. Either Azazel took her… or handled her on the spot. There was no need for them to use Abel who couldn’t use her ability.

Whatever it was, Abel was now over. We came to the conclusion we were most comfortable with, and although it wasn’t a consideration to save Abel’s life. It didn’t matter whether Abel, who couldn’t move her fingertips, continued her life by hanging on to her ventilator, or died by her comrade.

‘Now all that’s left is Azazel and… Samael. And Kali.’

They were more important than Doctor and Abel, but they were just complex. In particular, since Kali had a huge power to turn back time, there was a risk that everything would be in vain if we approached her hastily.

“I’ll help too.”

Cha Soo-yeon, who had been holding back her tears while sniffling, said to me with her red eyes.

“Let me help you catch the Praus Cult.”

“Yes? What do you…”

“I tremble at the thought of those cult members traveling around the world and making troubles. It’s fine even if it’s nothing. If you call me at anytime, I will come to help right away.”

“No, don’t. It’s dangerous.”

I didn’t want Cha Soo-yeon to get involved. After resolutely refused, this time Hong Si-ah intervened.

“Right, if it’s our Soo-yeonie’s ability, it will be useful. And so am I. Our guild members have damaged like this, but if we stay still, we won’t be able to save face.”

Hong Si-ah, who smiled refreshingly, lightly tapped my shoulder, who was showing an awkward look.

“You said Roheon is helping, right? Jayna Guild can’t be left out. The three of us guilds have collaborated thanks to the garbage of the Prauss Cult or something.”

“You don’t have to overdo it.”

“Overdo it what. Starting today, we will also collect information about the Praus Cult. If you get anything, please contact me separately.”

“I understand.”

Looking at the twinkling eyes of Hong Si-ah and Cha Soo-yeon, I didn’t think it would be of much use if I tried to stop them. Cha Soo-yeon was an A-rank and the Jayna was also a big guild, so it would be nice if they could help.

“That, Cha Soo-yeon-ssi. Your mother and you brother don’t remember what happened in the veil, don’t they?”

“Right. They were locked up in an art museum for over ten days and couldn’t remember anything. I heard that the veil was a mental control item. Neither of them were talented people, so there was no problem.”

“It can be confusing, so that’s better.”

“I think the same. It’s true that we had hard time, so my family decided to get together for a drink tonight. We also make a lot of delicious food.”

“Drinking together?”

“In my house, if we have a hard time, we solve it while drinking. The whole family likes to drink.”

“Oh, that sounds fun. Soo-yeonie drinks well too?”

“Hu-hm, a little bit? If it’s Master, you can come and join us anytime.”

“I’ll go next time. This time, spend time with your family.”

With Cha Soo-yeon and Hong Si-ah, who chatted in a friendly atmosphere, I fell into a different thought.

‘They’re all drinking together?’

A plan that had been forgotten came to mind. It was an idea I got when I had a party with all the store kids in the space created by Doctor.

‘Since everyone worked hard, I think it will be okay if we have a drink together.’

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a good atmosphere and relieve stress by preparing delicious food even if we didn’t have alcohol and just eating together? It could be an opportunity for awkward people to become closer.

Once the plan came to mind, it quickly made. It was a plan worth trying no matter how much I thought about it.

‘But there are too many people.’

Edward also helped me, so if you call him… nine people? The room on the 23rd floor was a bit small for drinking together.

“Hm…”

I rubbed the corners of my mouth and thought about where the appropriate place would be. In the meantime, Hong Si-ah, who had been chatting a few more times, was ready to return to the Jayna Guild for any other business.

“Then we’ll be on our way. Please say hello to Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“You can’t go see him?”

“Actually, I wanted to see him for a while before meeting with Talented Han Yi-gyeol, but Master Cheon Sa-yeon refused? That rude bastard.”

Hong Si-ah, who didn’t seem too offended when said it, gave me a wink and left the drawing-room.

“I’ll call you later! Thank you!”

Cha Soo-yeon, who said thank you one last time, followed Hong Si-ah and left the drawing-room. Being left alone, I immediately took my cell phone out of my arms and called the other person.

[Done talking?]

Cheon Sa-yeon, who answered the phone immediately for some reason, immediately asked a question.

“Oh, just now. The Jayna Guild found out that the group that touched the museum was the Praus Cult, is this okay?”

[That’s fine. After all, the whole world knows about the existence of the cult.]

“Okay. Where are you now?”

[Um? The representative office.]

“Can I go now?”

To the sudden request, Cheon Sa-yeon responded with a hint of surprise.

[It doesn’t matter if you come at anytime… everything’s okay, right?]

“It’s not that.”

I rubbed the nape of my neck and asked openly instead of turning around the words.

“I want to rent your house.”
