Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Shh, I hear something neatly writing a document diligently. Irisha was writing a document, showing smooth handwriting. At the bottom of the document was Yoohyun's signature.

“Registration is complete. It's going to take a little bit of time for a labyrinth compass. ”

Irisha said with a nice smile, opening the drawer and inserting the completed document.

Yoohyun could feel a lot of people swallowing behind her back with a smile. It seems to receive considerable attention within the guild.

In fact, I felt some of them side by side here. Assuming the story is roughly heard, everyone seems surprised because Irisha is laughing infrequently.

Irisha's withdrawn appearance was also hidden within the guild. I'm wearing a receptionist uniform, not a priest's uniform, but it's a little different.

Yoohyun, who looked at her slowly, said,

“I didn't expect to see you here. Was he in Carnaden? ”

“Umm.. Somehow it came down here. There's Misha, not me. ”

“She?”

Irisha nods with a subtle smile.

“Still on expedition. A few days ago, he said he had a new colleague. ”

“You must be doing well. ”

“Yes, that's a good thing. Besides, everyone here is nice. ”

Friendly, though I doubt that that is simply purely intentional.

Anyway, it's not bad to say you're doing well.

Yoohyun nods and opens the system window to check the Expeditionary Records Board.

Then, instead of the existing Lorelai item, a new item called Carnaden came up.

Absolutely, but nothing is written yet. Blank status.

However, Lorelai, who sits on top of Carnaden, had countless pieces of information on it. Most of the recent records killed adventurers, but only the same ones.

Someone would be pretty surprised to see this.

Did you come to war?

New records will no longer be created for Lorelai.

Only the records of killing adventurers forever stand before us.

By the time he closed the system window, Yoohyun could see the screaming outside.

Like Lancelet said, it's really raining.

I tried to finish my work before it rained, but it became a little vague.

When Yoohyun looked out the window, he frowned.

“Hey... would you like a cup of tea? ”

Irisha has made such an offer with a gentle smile.

Yoohyun accepted the offer, as he was supposed to stay in the guild until it stopped raining anyway.

Let's wait a bit, I hear the water boiling inside.

Then I heard something crumbling, and Irisha showed up with two cups of tea.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to greet you, so I don't have anything to treat you with. I made a proposition...”

“No, I got it. I didn't come here to eat anything. ”

Yoohyun shrugged his shoulders as he stood on the table, staring at the two teacups.

Despite Yoohyun's attitude, Irisha sat down without erasing her sorry face.

It became a facial form, but there was no story between the two.

Honestly, as Yoohyun, I didn't have anything to say to her.

Rugged silence hovers between the two. Only the sound of rain hitting the building keeps coming.

A purple pupil of transparent color stared at Yoohyun for a while and opened his mouth first.

“Thank you very much for what you did at Lorelai. This allowed a lot of people to be safe. ”

“I think I've heard that story too. ”

“It won't be enough to thank you a few times. ”

She said with a small smile. It was more uncomfortable for Yoohyun.

I didn't fight to save anyone. It just happened in the process.

Yoohyun, who thought there was nothing to talk about, decided to ask her about her situation.

“Are you working at the Expeditionary Guild in Carnaden now? ”

“Yes. Fortunately, thanks to Karnaden's blessing, I was able to stay without difficulty. Of course, many of you here are very kind. Besides me, a lot of Lorelai residents are doing well. ”

“That's a relief. ”

The inhabitants of Lorelai were only outsiders to those who lived in Carnaden in the end.

No matter where I went, I had no choice but to expel outsiders. That's why it's so hard to melt between existing people.

However, I can't see a lie in the face of Irisha smiling brightly.

It looks pretty good compared to just keeping a pale complexion inside Lorelai.

The story breaks again. There was still only the sound of rain in the rough silence.

Again, it was Irisha who brought the story out first.

“Hey... can I ask you a favor?"

"Okay, if that's what I can do."

Irisha laughed happily. Yoohyun thought innocence was a beautiful smile.

"I would appreciate it if you would come here later. ”

It was the weak spot she pulled out of saying that. I don't know when to prepare for this, but Yoohyun smiles as she receives her medicine.

As Yoohyun looks at her curious face, Irisha shakes her tension and speaks loudly.

“This is where Yoohyun saved the kids. I'm running a small orphanage with the help of Lorelai residents who have moved here. Maybe, if you come, the kids will like it.”

“Orphanage?”

“Yes. I'm being managed by Lorelai's priests and me. ”

“... hmm. The kids I saved. ”

Yoohyun looks at the map of the orphanage and is locked in memory.

The next problem was to gather scattered people after the Roberian Expeditionary Force regained Lorelai's village.

Adventurers still existed chasing scattered people, demanding urgent movement.

Of course, Irisha also existed among the scattered people, at which time she was fleeing with young children. There were also some adults, but not so much power to fight.

It was Yoohyun's group who caught up with the adventurers and rescued them at a moment just before everyone died.

Should I say I was lucky?

“May I...? ”

When Irisha asked with a trembling eye drop, Yoohyun could not easily refuse.

And it wasn't that hard. It wouldn't be bad to go when you have the right time.

“I'll go with the group after hours. I can't tell you exactly when to go. We came to Carnaden today. ”

“That's enough for you to say. ”

Irisha says with her head bowed. Yoohyun gave a complex expression to that polite attitude.

I wonder if the woman who really suits the priest is the Irisha in front of her eyes.

“You're struggling to the end. Even though Lorelai is dead, we continue to deal with it. It won't be that easy to run an orphanage. ”

When I looked at Irisha, I inadvertently said that.

Children in charge of orphanages will be considerable. The number of children I saw rescuing her at that time was significant. When you think about that number, you're going to run out of money, you're going to run out of manpower, you're going to run out of everything.

But that did not come from compassion. Just a bold voice.

It was foolish to say that she felt sorry for what she had decided for herself.

In Yoohyun's words, Irisha smiles cheerfully.

“I'm not the only one who's struggling. The other priests are moving hard. ”

“Is that so?”

Yoohyun nods and looks at the window.

It seems to have stopped raining. Luckily, it was raining.

Irisha looks a little sad to see the rain stopping.

I wanted to tell you a little bit more. It seemed impossible to hold him any longer.

The car is already cooled. Irisha decides to be satisfied with meeting Yoohyun.

“How do I know where you're staying right now? ”

“An inn called Lake of Nymphs. Do you know where it is?”

“Umm... sorry. This is the first time I've heard of it. I think I've met a lot of expeditions in my own time, but I've never heard of such an inn. ”

“Well, I had to. He said he opened it today. ”

“Ah...”

He blinked his eyes and nodded his head.

Irisha's reaction suggests Lanslet's words were true.

Yoohyun now decided to get out of bed.

But there was still more to talk about.

“... and it turns out I haven't been able to reward you. ”

“Reward?”

Yoohyun curled his head. Well, if you think about it for sure, it doesn't.

Even now, I wasn't expecting that.

What kind of reward do you expect in such a situation?

Irisha was only a priest after all, although it may be a cruel story. There is no such thing as talent to reward her unless she is a fairy.

Yoohyun was trying to say, "It's okay."

Yoohyun was forced to harden her body because of the soft touch on her lips.

“..... Hmm. ”

Feeling a strange feeling of softness falling, Yoohyun touches his lips and carefully looks at Irisha.

His face is red.He seems to be ashamed of what he just did.

Irisha reaches out with her head down to see if she can't see.

“Actually, I wanted to give you this. Can you take it? ”

“... I'll make sure to thank you. ”

Yoohyun came out quietly after receiving what she had left.

Irisha's sigh quietly echoes as the door closes and Yoohyun's appearance disappears completely.
