The Attack (4)

"The Rune clan…? Never heard of it."

"I don't know either."

Liliana and Nam Da-eun began explaining Rebecca to me.

"It's normal not to know. Um, like a minority race or something."

Explaining it to the two who had no prior knowledge worried me, but luckily both accepted without much resistance.

"Why does that minority race want to take your semen?"

"Explaining that would be complicated… Rebecca is the last surviving member of the Rune clan. She wants my magical genes to revive the clan. In return, I agreed to learn magic."

"… If Ho-yeon is okay with it, then it's fine."

"Really, he has the talent to seduce women somehow? Well, I don't mind."

Nam Da-eun said if I liked it, fine, and Liliana nodded.

As expected, reliable girlfriends.

"After all, these are your girlfriends? From a glance, it seems like pretty ones gather together."

Rebecca was smiling behind me at Liliana and Nam Da-eun.

"Yes. Please don't fight, okay? Please."

"Having good abilities means many women. Still, I hope you get pregnant first."

"…"

"Ho-yeon, what should we do about this?"

I turned my head toward the sound. Liliana was squatting, pointing at the fallen demon.

"… Well. What to do with this guy."

What to do with these skeleton-masked guys.

"Torture them? I'm an expert at torture."

"… Want me to poke with my tail like Scarlet?"

"If you want? It's dirty, but poking with my tail would… everything."

"Are you crazy? It's gross. And don't touch other men. Don't even think about it. Got it?"

Scarlet is female, so that's fine, but I can't let the male and Liliana's bodies ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠touch.

"Hehe… okay."

Typical my-girls-are-all-mine, but Liliana seemed to like it.

"Just throw them to the academy. There, the torture department will torture them."

There was a torture specialist at the academy who tortured Gill Stephen. Leave it to them.

"Then what about this? We have to clean the barrier too. We can't just have us clean it?"

"Um…"

I looked at the fallen demon and continued thinking.

This skeleton mask.

Surely Mun Su-rin had investigated it.

It was related to the former vice president Shin Dong-min.

'Should I tell Suri noona?'

There were ways to quietly ask about the skeleton mask, or escalate the incident to get help from Mun Su-rin.

Since Rebecca was here, quietly asking might be okay.

At that moment, I noticed Nam Da-eun sweeping glass shards in a corner of my vision.

"Thinking about it, we have to clean the house too."

Broken appliances or windows.

The demon's body could be hidden, but this couldn't.

Annoying.

Kk!

"…"

I kicked the fallen skeleton mask's belly with my foot and approached Nam Da-eun.

"Da-eun. Let's clean up together later."

Nam Da-eun didn't answer, moving the broom diligently.

She seemed lost in important thoughts.

"Cleaning with cleaning magic…"

Swoosh swoosh

'What is she doing?'

I opened Nam Da-eun's status window while she moved the broom absentmindedly.

"…"

Ah, a headache was coming.

Wait a bit.

I needed to organize the situation.

Too complicated.

First, the skeleton mask.

"First, we need to deal with this skeleton mask. Rebecca, can you handle it?"

I pointed to the demon with limbs cut off, bleeding.

Due to demon nature, strong vitality, still alive.

"Well, I can clean it up. And while at it, clean the barrier too?"

"Barrier? I can use cleaning magic too."

"As a way to get close to your dad's girlfriends… I'll show you. It's possible if you train the Rune Barrier to the extreme."

Rebecca closed her eyes and concentrated, then unfolded the Rune Barrier.

"Eh? The Rune Barrier…?"

I stared at Rebecca suddenly unfolding the Rune Barrier.

Rebecca smiled confidently and continued.

"Watch. If you have talent like dad, you might be able to do it someday."

The mana from Rebecca's hand merged with the Rune Barrier, and strange currents started flowing inside the space.

Something… like riding a bus for a long time, feeling nauseous.

Dud. Ddug.

Tadak.

And soon, an unexpected thing happened.

The glass shards on the floor started to tremble.

The broken TV screen crackled, food from the fridge floated up.

"Eh, ugh?"

Nam Da-eun placed the broom down, startled.

Because the swept glass shards started floating.

The debris in the trash can also came out.

"What is this…?"

Jijik- jijik-

Ji-ing-

The fridge split in two, the food came out and was sucked back in, and the fridge naturally stuck back together and started operating.

Tak- tadak- tak-

The glass shards that were dangerously on the floor flew back to the window like rewinding.

Each piece ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠fit together like a precise puzzle, clean without a single scratch.

In addition, the scratches on the wallpaper, broken walls, closet all returned to original.

As if nothing happened.

"Wow, what is this?! I never heard of magic like this! What kind of master did you get?!"

"Amazing…"

Liliana and Nam Da-eun also opened their mouths watching the scene.

Of course, I was surprised too.

No, the one who was most surprised was me.

'What the hell have I been unable to use the Rune Barrier like this?'

A short while later, the living room excluding the fallen demon in the center returned to normal.

The scene of a demon with limbs cut off lying in a normal dormitory was very out of place.

"… Rebecca?"

"Haa… it's been a while, so it's tough. I aged too."

Rebecca sweated tiredly.

"No, how is this possible?"

This was too cheat ability.

"Don't be surprised. You can't reverse the living. Only things without mana can be reversed. And it's harder than it looks."

"Clearly not possible."

The flow of mana flowing through time… no sense at all.

How did one reverse time?

"So. It looks hard, but it's much harder. Learn it from me later."

"… Thank you."

If I had a child with Rebecca, no worries about old age.

The children would be scary strong.

It was also great that she taught this magic for free.

"But the ones coming now are your dad's girlfriends too? Too many women is bad for the child's psyche."

"Eh?"

Ddadak.

Eh?

I could feel familiar mana coming soon.

The mana of Mun Su-rin coming this way.

"Wait a moment. Wait."

I stepped out of the Rune Barrier laid by Rebecca.

"First, hide. Take the kids."

"Secret with ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the girlfriend? Okay."

"Wow, crazy magician…"

"…"

Liliana and Nam Da-eun were still stunned by the time-reversing magic.

I quickly regained composure and prepared to welcome Mun Su-rin.

Cleared my throat and waited for Mun Su-rin.

To greet immediately when the bell rang.

"Ho, Ho-yeon!"

Bang-

"…"

But unlike my thoughts, Mun Su-rin came in quite aggressively.

The dorm door burst open.

Literally.

Not broken, but pops out like popcorn.

"Eh…?"

"Hi. Suri noona."

"Eh, eh? That assassin…"

Mun Su-rin then discovered the demon lying on the floor with limbs cut off.

"You… you handled it yourself?"

"… Yes."

I didn't see how we fought, but say so.

"Amazing. Handling it so cleanly… I worried for nothing. Still, good thing. Ah, ah… sorry about the door…. I'll fix it."

Mun Su-rin avoided her gaze awkwardly.

"Thank you. Noona. You came looking for me worried, right?"

I could see Mun Su-rin's clothes now.

Same as when I met her, but the crop top and jeans were torn in places, exposing skin, soaked with blood.

Probably attacked right after changing at home, and immediately ran to me.

The skeleton mask was related to Shin Dong-min, so Mun Su-rin was also attacked.

Honestly, I didn't think she'd stalk and attack with killing intent… good that she didn't get hurt.

"Ugh, no. No need to come."

"No. Haa, what to do."

I wiped the blood on Mun Su-rin's face.

"Luckily, no scars on the face."

"Eh, why, why…?"

Mun Su-rin seemed startled by the sudden skinship.

But how to care for her.

"Put on the clothes at my house."

"Yes, my clothes?"

"You can't wear torn clothes."

I took clothes from the closet for Mun Su-rin.

A wide oversized t-shirt, Mun Su-rin with big breasts could wear it.

At the same time, I signaled to Nam Da-eun who was hiding in the Rune Barrier.

To take care of Nam Dae-hee who was in the room too.

Nam Da-eun nodded, and after confirming, I handed the clothes to Mun Su-rin.

"… Thank you. I'll keep it well."

"Eh, yes."

At times like this, usually say I'll wash it later, right?

Mun Su-rin who received my t-shirt hugged it to her chest as if receiving a precious thing.

... Noona, then the blood will get on it.

A short while later.

The academy security team summoned by Mun Su-rin arrived.

"S-class demon. Don't be tense, tie it up properly."

"Yes! Understood!"

They took care of the demon's limbs and body, tied it securely and took it somewhere.

"President. I want to analyze the scene a bit…"

"Ah, yes. Ho-yeon. Want to go eat something? I have to help here."

"Yes. Thank you. Noona."

Mun Su-rin directed the scene wearing my t-shirt.

Thanks for doing all this.

I greeted Mun Su-rin and left the security team inspecting the living room and went out of the dorm.

"Want to go eat?"

"Not bad. What food does dad like?"

Behind me, Rebecca, Liliana, and Nam Da-eun followed.

Nam Dae-hee was still sleeping, carried on Nam Da-eun's back.

"… But Rebecca. If they find out you're getting close to Pandemic, it's not good, right?"

"Ah… right."

How did this person rise to executive of Pandemic?

No, rather, it meant she had great ability.

"First, Rebecca, go back. We need to check if there's any sign of brainwashing from Pandemic."

"… Yes. First, that's it."

Rebecca frowned.

Being ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠brainwashed would hurt her pride.

"By the way, don't show any sign that the brainwashing is undone."

"Of course. It's good to play with your girlfriend, but leave making the child. Got it?"

"… Yes yes."

Rebecca showed a slight smile and disappeared with a swish.

Does she instant travel with the Rune Barrier?

"I'm eating chicken. Buy me chicken. And that person is scary. Too strong."

After Rebecca disappeared, Liliana clung to me.

"I was scared when I saw it for the first time. But she's a good person."

"Yes. We returned the window. So, let's eat chicken."

"Da-eun, what do you want to eat?"

Ignoring Liliana trying to bite my arm, I talked to Nam Da-eun carrying Dae-hee.

"Whatever Ho-yeon likes."

"Let's eat chicken!"

"Sigh. Okay, let's go."

I placed a slight perception blocking barrier around and walked towards the shopping mall.
