Chapter 37
Hearing the knocking at the door, Ireena's face clearly showed panic.
This made Ye Yu feel a little strange. Why wasn't she using magic?
Just now, the way Ireena dealt with the two men— one was a neurotoxin, the other a powerful aphrodisiac.
Was it possible… like with Kurumi, she had come to this world completely unable to use magic?
"They're here—four men outside! Since you said you had everything arranged, you should have a way to deal with them, right?"
Hearing Ye Yu's grinning words, Ireena lifted her head proudly.
This was her first time avenging someone. Her preparations weren't thorough enough, but she refused to let Ye Yu see her fail.
She directly took out another spray bottle.
This was a powerful hypnotic agent she had developed— one light spray and it would take effect within a minute.
After preparing, she gently opened the door.
Right hand holding the spray, eyes nervously aimed at the incoming men.
Just as she was about to press the button—
Her right hand holding the spray was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.
Her heart jolted; she looked over in confusion.
Ye Yu was smiling at her.
"What are you doing??"
Ireena watched the men walk in and felt her tension explode.
So this guy really is with those beasts after all? Damn it—what should I do now?
She tried to pull her hand back, but it was like an iron clamp— firmly locking her in place!
"You bastard—you actually deceived me!"
Looking at Ireena's furious face, Ye Yu now suspected she really couldn't use magic.
She was probably like Kurumi— turned into an ordinary person after coming to this world.
Just as despair filled Ireena's heart, the men who entered seemed to completely ignore the two of them.
They walked straight into the private room.
"Where is everyone? Where did Manager Kuroki and Director Kimura go?"
"Yeah, I waited downstairs for ages. When I didn't see them come down, I got worried something happened—that's why I called you guys!"
"Listen—do you hear any sounds coming from the room?"
Puzzled, they walked toward the noise. The men's roars grew louder and clearer.
"Brother Kuroki… you're really beautiful… don't move, let big brother…"
"Big brother, don't hold back just because I'm delicate—come on…"
Hearing such bizarre, animalistic words, the group of tough guys cautiously pushed the door open a crack.
Through the gap, they saw a scene that nearly shattered their sanity.
Ugh…
That's fucking disgusting.
They had always known Kuroki was scum, but they never imagined he'd sink this low!
And thinking of Kimura's nauseating face— You're really that desperate? You'd even go for this kind of trash?
"W-What do we do? Are they just drunk? Should we go in and drag Manager Kuroki out?"
Hearing this, one of the producers slapped him on the back of the head.
"Are you brain-dead? If we interrupt him now and he goes berserk on us, what then? We're pretending we saw nothing. Never mention this again!"
"Right, right—we'll warn the restaurant staff too. This private room must stay locked!"
Watching the men whispering among themselves, Ireena's little head felt like it couldn't process anymore.
What the hell is this? I'm a gorgeous beauty standing right here, and you're all acting like you don't see me?
"They can't see us!"
Ye Yu smiled at her and lifted the hand that was holding hers.
"I can use magic. As long as I'm holding your hand, they'll completely ignore our existence."
Ireena looked at him suspiciously. What era is this—still talking about magic?
But she had no idea how else to explain the situation.
Could these guys be in on it together, putting on an act for me? That must be it!
The more Ireena thought, the more convinced she became. Just as she was about to expose Ye Yu—
She suddenly felt the scenery shift. In the next second, she was no longer in the private room.
Looking down, she saw only a narrow rectangular metal platform beneath her feet.
And below that— pedestrians coming and going, the hustle and bustle of the city spreading out beneath her.
But right now, Ireena couldn't appreciate any of it.
Her legs felt weak!
Because they were standing at the very top of a TV tower—the highest spire.
The hand gripping hers was suddenly held back tightly by her own.
"W-What did you do?! Where is this?!"
Ye Yu looked at her innocently.
"Of course I just wanted to prove I really can use magic!"
"Ahhh—are you insane?! Put me down right now!!"
Ireena squeezed her eyes shut, her whole body trembling in fear.
Her voice was shaking!
But combined with her delicate features, it created a strangely captivating kind of beauty.
Seeing how adorable she looked like this, Ye Yu directly activated wind magic.
A strong gust of wind blew— Ireena's small frame was instantly swayed by the force.
She felt her center of gravity shift; her body could be blown off at any moment.
Thinking of the hundred-meter drop below, the image of herself smashed to pieces flashed through her mind.
"Mamaaa! Help me!!"
Ye Yu gently stepped forward. Ireena clung to him like he was a lifeline, wrapping her arms around him desperately.
Feeling her soft body and unique fragrance, Ye Yu naturally held her shoulders.
"Alright—now you should believe I can use magic, right?"
Ireena nodded frantically.
"I believe! I believe! Let's get out of here right now—hurry!!"
Ye Yu smiled faintly. In the next second, the two vanished from the tower spire.
After arriving at a street corner, Ireena squatted on the ground, gasping heavily.
Ye Yu noticed a glimmer of tears in the corners of her eyes.
"You're crying?"
"Wuwu—I'm not crying, you jerk!!"
Ireena felt this handsome guy was simply too hateful!
How dare he do this to her!
Ye Yu gently crouched down and patted her back.
"Alright, I apologize. I just wanted to prove it! To make it up to you—how about I help you finish what you started earlier?"
Ireena looked at Ye Yu with teary eyes.
"You'll help me?"
"That's right. I'll take you home first. Sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be taken care of!"
Ireena looked at Ye Yu, her gem-like eyes flickering constantly!
What exactly does this man want? Is he after my beauty and planning something bad?
"Alright, stop overthinking. This is purely out of respect for a female hero!"
"Hmph…"
"Come on—where's your home? I'll use magic to send you back."
"I don't need your help! I can go home by myself!"
Seeing Ireena's tsundere attitude, Ye Yu knew he couldn't rush things.
They'd already met today anyway. He could just arrange another "chance encounter" later.
"Fine, female hero—give me your contact info. Once everything's handled, I'll let you know!"
Ireena turned her cute little face away.
Then slowly recited her contact information.
After memorizing it, Ye Yu turned around and waved at her.
"Alright, female hero—talk to you later."
Watching Ye Yu's departing figure, Ireena couldn't help shouting after him.
"I'm not 'female hero'—my name is Ireena!"
