Chapter 161
After talking with my sister for about 30 minutes, I returned to the hotel.
“Then get some rest.”
Mr. Seokhyun, who took me to my room, opened the door as usual and bowed his head.
“You didn’t ask me to bring the call bell today?”
“… … haha. Is it my imagination that I can feel the bones in the horse?”
“You are mistaken. It wasn’t that it was bothersome to carry a call bell, or anything like that at all.”
Uncle Seokhyun smiled bitterly.
It is clear that he does not know how to react.
“It’s a joke. It wasn’t difficult enough to be annoying. It’s not like I don’t know that you’re worried about me.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Uncle Seokhyun nodded his head expressionlessly.
“Then I’ll be waiting here as usual, so if you have any business or request, please call me right away.”
“ah. Then can I ask for one thing right now?”
“… … yes. I will listen.”
Mr. Seokhyun’s expression became serious. When I asked for a favor, it was always when something unusual happened, so he must have been nervous.
But what about this
This time, it’s a trivial request that has nothing to do with seriousness.
“Could you buy me a comic book?”
“comic book… … Are you talking?”
Uncle Seokhyun’s brow furrowed slightly in doubt.
“May I ask why you need that?”
buy comic books
You seem to have accepted that this act itself had a separate purpose.
Rather, his expression became more serious.
“No no. It’s not like slang or roundabout things. It’s a trivial request, literally, if you could buy me some comic books.”
“… … Is it simply for reading?”
Uncle Seokhyun’s face lost its strength. He looks like he’s confused about something.
“There is a cartoon that Sunchan recommended, but I think I’ll be free these days. I want to read it in between.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Bocchan reads a comic book… … . yes. All right.”
Mr. Seokhyun smiled with a very complicated expression.
“Master Hayul, who only knew magic, was interested in other things… … .”
Should I love this or be sad?
Huh, with a look on his face that made it clear that he was thinking that way. breathed out.

Upon entering Mimir’s book, I immediately told Mimir about the finding of the hint.
“okay. That gives my hypothesis a little more credence.”
Mimir, who heard the story, sang with delight as his fingers snapped.
His expression and movements seemed to be enjoying the strange catharsis that came from the fact that his hypothesis was correct.
“Then, after the heir’s sister is discharged from the hospital, there’s a high probability that the action will take place within a day or two.”
If, according to Mimir’s hypothesis, the suggestion hanging on my sister is ‘Lure me somewhere’,
The triggering of this suggestion would inevitably be right after my sister was discharged from the hospital.
While I’m in the hospital, it won’t be possible to call me separately.
I’ll have to take care of things while I’m in America, so I can’t wait too long.
Therefore, it means that the expected date of Shin Ji-han’s operation is within 1-2 days from the day her sister is discharged from the hospital.
“When is your expected discharge date?”
“Open raid rematch day.”
“what. Then it’s not even a day or two, is it?”
“uh. On the night of discharge, or the next morning. There is only one of them.”
The open raid rematch is 3 days later.
The next day, 4 days later, is the awards ceremony.
Then, on the night of the 4th day or during the day of the 5th day, they will inevitably return home.
As much as I have to take care of things before I leave the US, the execution date is bound to be 3 or 4 days later.
“Good. There is ample preparation time, and the margin of error for the execution date is around 12 hours, so it will be easy to prepare.”
From the standpoint of preparing the counter, it couldn’t be better than this.
“I don’t think that will happen, but there is a possibility that my predictions were wrong, so prepare accordingly.”
“That’s fine. As long as I know that my sister is caught in suggestion. Because this is an unconditional advantage.”
The point of this operation is that I trust my sister.
As long as I’m suspicious of my sister, Shin Ji-han’s strategy can never succeed.
“Do it. It’s because you just have to change your response depending on how the heir’s sister turns out.”
“right.”
Now that I know that my sister is caught in ‘suggestion’ no matter what.
Circumstances have become extremely favorable.
“The issue now is not how to deal with the risk.”
Mimir grinned and continued.
“How important is it to prepare a strong counter?”
“bingo.”
I also made eye contact with Mimir and smiled.

“Then we should start by flirting with that magician specializing in stealth magic and your father.”
“I still contacted my father.”
What Shin Ji-han is going to do using Se-ah’s sister, he tells his father and Mr. Seok-hyeon about everything.
Only then can Shin Ji-han be captured.
Ugh!
At that moment, the entire library trembled subtly.
The alarm magic set to make the book vibrate when someone knocks on the door or rings the doorbell was activated.
“Looks like you’ve come.”
It seems that Mr. Seokhyun has arrived.
“Then I will come. When my father came back soon.”
“Will it take a while?”
Considering the seriousness of this incident, it is inevitable that the discussion will be long.
Mimir knew that too, so he said he would be late.
“no. For now, I will come back soon.”
“why?”
“I have something to give you. Once I get back and hand it over, I’ll go out and go to my father’s room.”
I plan to come back once and then call my father and Uncle Seok-hyeon to talk.
“Do you have anything to give me? What?”
“You asked for a comic book?”
“ah.”
Mimir exclaimed in surprise.
“Did you get it already?”
“then. saved Who are you asking?”
“Heir… … .”
Mimir’s expression became a little moved.
“thank you.”
“With something like this. If you need anything else, let me know anytime. I will save you right away.”
“huh.”
Mimir smiled brightly.
It was a smile on his face that made even me feel proud.
* * *
After that, after handing Mimir the comic book that Uncle Seok-hyeon got from him.
I immediately called my father and Uncle Seok-hyeon and set up a place to talk.
And right away I started talking about the information I had obtained.
“Of course not. However, given the current situation. This is the only way Jihan can reverse this situation.”
At first, the two of them were listening with a serious expression on their faces, but as my story continued, their expressions became more and more serious.
“Therefore, there is a high probability that Ji-Han’s purpose is to lure me away and kill me after blaming Se-ah for all the sins. I judged this.”
Mr. Seok-hyun, who has a complex expression in the world, and his father, who does not know what he is thinking.
Looking at the two of them, I said the last thing.
“If I focus all my energy on the place where Sister Se-ah calls me, I can definitely capture Shin Ji-han.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Silence passed.
I had said everything and had nothing more to say.
Uncle Seok-hyeon and his father had no time to talk as they were organizing their thoughts.
Therefore, the inevitable stillness that descended.
I waited quietly in between.
I waited for the two of them to finish organizing their thoughts.
About 3 minutes passed like that.
“… … Did you find any traces of suggestion?”
As if he had finished organizing his thoughts first, the father opened his mouth.
“yes. If you ask me to prove it, I can prove it.”
“… … You don’t have to. Because I know that you have no reason to lie like that in this situation. I did not ask because I was curious whether your search for traces of suggestion was true or false.”
My father stared into my eyes with sharp eyes.
“It was your eyes that found the traces of suggestion… … Is it the power of God?”
ah. It was a question in that sense.
My father had asked how I had found the signs of suggestion.
“yes. That’s right.”
“… … I can’t believe it.”
It wasn’t my father who reacted to my answer, but Mr. Seok-hyeon.
“It leads the character somewhere. A detection plan that doesn’t miss even the smallest traces of hints like that… … . such a craft. It is impossible for Sophia Anezefri as well.”
I guess so.
Right now, I couldn’t find it with just the power of my ‘God Eye’.
There is no way that Sophia-sama’s jewelry can be found.
“Are you saying that Sinan is truly a superior compatibility of Jewelan? … .”
My father said that in a voice that sounded astonished.
“Right. Sophia-sama knew that, so maybe he met Hayul separately and talked about it.”
My father gave a satisfied smile, as if he finally understood.
Another minute passed like that.
“… … Anyway, I understand the situation.”
My father became sharp again.
“There are a lot of somewhat leapfrog guesses, but considering the current situation, it was a sufficiently credible hypothesis.”
My father looked straight into my eyes.
“As you said, three days… to 4 days later. Right after Se-ah was discharged from the hospital. I will make preparations so that I can capture Jihan.”
My father’s pupils reflected in my retina were shining with a very complex examination.
* * *
After that, time passed quickly.
In the meantime, nothing else happened.
The search for Shin Ji-han continued, but he was still unable to catch him.
Seah’s sister was still in the hospital.
I was still immersed in training.
It was a repetition of a routine that was no different from the past.
A total of 3 days passed like that.
Finally, the day of the Open Raid Rematch, which will end the finale of the Olympiad, has arrived.
It’s 20 minutes before the start of the match, but the stadium is as quiet as it gets.
It was natural.
This open raid rematch was played without spectators. It is a game played without spectators.
Because it is broadcast on TV, there are commentators, but there is no audience, so there is no need to turn on the speakers.
There is no room for noise because there are no spectators.
So, inevitably, the stadium had to be silent.
“Whoa.”
I leaned against the wall in one corner of the empty stands and looked up at the sky.
Maybe it’s because it’s the last match?
something cool
“It is very strange that there are no people in the stadium. right?”
While I was doing that, someone suddenly approached me and started talking to me.
“Can you stay here like this?”
Charles, the leader of the hounds.
He was looking at me with his hands in his pockets, showing off his usual easy-going vibe.
“doesn’t care. It’s an empty game anyway, so no one is watching.”
Charles looked around.
“I also took care of the CCTV filming here in advance.”
Preliminary work has already been completed.
“You are thorough.”
“Well, since I’ve been secret friends with Madam for over 20 years, it’s like a skill I’ve acquired.”
Charles laughed exaggeratedly while saying ‘Mmm ha ha’.
“So what are you doing?”
“Uh huh. Sadly, why are you like this? Do we really have to have something to do to meet each other?”
“Not really, but… … .”
I took my eyes off the sky and looked straight into Charles’ eyes.
“Three days ago, no… Could it be much earlier than that? Wouldn’t it be natural to think that there is a reason when the person who used to be quietly circling around me, hiding his presence, suddenly shows up like this?”
“… … Did you know?”
“yes.”
Charles sighed and let out a nasal sigh.
“Your eyes are good too. Even Kim Seok-hyun didn’t notice.”
“Captain Charles’ spirit must be exceptional. It was clearly visible from a distance.”
“My momentum? I’m not stupid enough to spew such a thing.”
“no. It doesn’t mean that.”
My mana grasps the surrounding mana of the target as ‘property’.
As such, the more special the target mana is, the more visible it is.
“It’s just something I can only see.”
“What, is there another world that only you can see?”
see another world
Well, that’s not entirely wrong.
“You can see that.”
“What is that. It’s a scam.”
“hmm. Not necessarily. It’s usually hard to see if you’re that far away. Should I say that Captain Charles’ spirit is so wild… … It’s a momentum that doesn’t go well with the city, so it only stands out.”
“… … I don’t know what you mean, but my hiding means nothing to you anyway. That’s what you mean.”
“yes. Yes.”
“Then it’s a scam.”
“hmm. You could call it a scam only for Captain Charles.”
“… … write.”
Charles scratched the back of his neck with an expression saying, ‘These eyes are really troublesome.’
“So you’re saying you didn’t come here because you had something to say to me?”
“… … no. that’s right.”
Charles put his hand that had been scratching the back of his neck back to its original position, and his eyes shone sharply.
“you. Are you preparing something now?”
“… … .”
I was silent. This is something that must be thoroughly handled internally by the ‘Madosinga’.
It’s Charles and Sophia, and I can’t tell anyone.
“I can’t answer this? I’m sad about this We shared all our secrets.”
“… … It is a very private matter.”
“Well, okay. Because I know roughly what the situation is. I can roughly understand why you are reluctant to answer.”
… … Do you know what the situation is?
Did he follow me and get some information?
Or is it just bluffing?
“Isn’t it related to the Black Mage Tower?”
Charles’ mood changed.
Previously, he felt like a tame wolf, but now he is a wild wolf.
No, it emits the same bloody momentum as Fenrir.
“Cuddle me too.”
I will chew and swallow them all.
It was the lifelike eyes and momentum that shined with such will.
