Episode 121. Survival Exam (14)

9 PM.

After finishing dinner, there was awkward time left before bed.

Alice was swinging her sword in a corner for training, and Lucy, Lumi, the twins, and I were sitting by the campfire, talking.

“So you were with Alice for three days?”

“Yeah. That’s right?”

“I see….”

Hearing that Lucy had been with Alice for three days, she unmistakably showed a look of envy.

It didn’t seem like envy for the food, but rather envy for being with me.

“Hoyeon-ssi, how many teams did you meet during the exam?”

“I probably met about four teams.”

“Wow… We were lucky and only met one team.”

“Still, you must have won. That’s amazing?”

“Yes… Hehe.”

Good job, Lumi!

Her growth is noticeable day by day. It’s rewarding to have watched her so diligently.

“….”

Lucy watched the two of us laughing heartily, gauging when she should join the conversation.

‘She’s becoming more like Lumi as the days go by.’

Even when she’s doing well, she gets discouraged if I get close to another woman.

Especially when the three of us are together, this side of her shows a little.

‘I need to work on wooing Lucy too… I wonder if I can do it during the festival?’

Lately, too many uncontrollable incidents have been happening, leaving the攻略 for Lucy in a vague state of suspension.

In the original story, after resolving the Felix incident, just living normally would have increased her affection automatically, but now, it’s a situation where I can’t spend continuous time with Lucy or Lumi.

It would be great if I could somehow handle Lucy and Lumi at the same time… then I could allocate the time meant for Lumi to both of them.

Let’s think more about it after the survival test ends.

I checked the point ranking.

———————–

The rankings haven’t changed yet.

Nam Daeun, the overwhelming first place, me in second, Alice in third, and Kim Young-han in fourth.

However, Kim Young-han seemed to be closing the gap with Alice and climbing up.

“I might get overtaken tomorrow….”

Since points are insufficient, we inevitably have to fight on the last day.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter if survival were the goal, but our goal is first place.

“Can you give me some water?”

“Ah, yeah. Here. You’re training really hard, huh?”

Gulp gulp.

Alice, who had been swinging her sword, finished her training and drank the water next to Lucy.

Is she getting ready to sleep soon?

“Let’s decide on the watch duty first. Lucy and Lumi must be tired since they couldn’t sleep properly, would it be okay to let them stand in a comfortable spot?”

I looked at Alice to ask for permission.

After all, Lucy and Lumi probably didn’t eat properly or sleep in comfortable places like we did.

“Do as you please.”

Fortunately, Alice also gave her permission.

“Then Lumi will be first. I’ll be second. Alice will be third. And Lucy last. Sound good?”

“Thank you. Hoyeon-ssi….”

“What the… Thanks.”

Lucy and Lumi looked at me with touched eyes, but I had a plan.

It was a grand plan to finish the main event I couldn’t do earlier while switching with Lumi, and give Alice a mana massage while switching with her.

“Well then… shall we sleep soon?”

Afternoon of Day 5.

KUUUNG-!

A giant Grizzly Bear collided with the ground, making a bizarre sound.

A large gash remained on its belly, and standing before it was Nam Daeun, shaking the blood off her sword.

She had already taken down over ten monsters, but Nam Daeun didn’t stop.

She immediately ran towards the next monster and swung her sword.

The monsters couldn’t cope with Nam Daeun’s speed and were helplessly cut down by the sharp cutting power of her sword.

“Whoa… Is that thing a monster, not the Grizzly Bear?”

“What the hell is that to a person, you punk.”

Kim Young-han smacked the head of a cadet gaping beside him, continuing to watch Nam Daeun.

‘But she really is a monster.’

Of course, he didn’t show it like the idiot next to him.

“You worked hard.”

“Here are the points.”

“Yeah. I’ll transfer the communication rights.”

Nam Daeun didn’t talk much.

She would just come after hunting, distribute the points, receive the communication rights, and disappear somewhere.

“She’s using the communication rights, it must be her boyfriend, right? She’s so diligent.”

“Hmm… I’m not sure either.”

“She’s so pretty, there’s no way she doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

“Enough. Stop being curious and focus on your own work.”

“Yes, yes. Mr. No Fun.”

“….”

Kim Young-han scratched his head unnecessarily while looking at Nam Daeun’s retreating back.

The plan was perfect.

Using Lee Hoyeon as bait, he gathered cadets and collected points by taking the lead.

Currently, Kim Young-han’s team exceeded 70 members.

Even cadets who weren’t initially inclined to join had no choice but to merge due to the sheer number of people.

The only element of uncertainty was Nam Daeun.

Although she was active in the same team, she didn’t take her share of food rations, didn’t mingle with the cadets, and just repeatedly hunted monsters and made calls while hiding somewhere.

Kim Young-han, still unsure of what Nam Daeun was thinking, felt uneasy for no reason.

Meanwhile, Nam Daeun, having moved away from Kim Young-han’s team, used the accumulated communication rights.

[One person available. Duration is 5 minutes. The Academy will not eavesdrop or record. However, severe punishment may result if actions affecting the exam are discovered.]

Ring ring ring-

Nam Daeun skillfully operated her smartwatch, waiting for the connection tone.

• Unnie?

“Hello. Have you been well, my Dahee?”

• Yes! I was waiting for your call, Unnie!

“That’s a relief. Weren’t you bored?”

• I liked it because Mr. Min-gyu played with me a lot! He even bought me snacks saying you got first place! Thank you, Unnie!

“…That must have been nice.”

Mr. Min-gyu, the guild leader of the Buyer Guild, who held her younger sister Dahee as leverage.

Having known him since childhood, the term ‘Mr. Min-gyu’ still slipped out.

In the first place, Nam Daeun had never cursed anyone directly, so she didn’t know how.

Just like an elephant raised in captivity couldn’t rebel even when grown, Nam Daeun’s defense mechanisms were robust as long as her sister wasn’t touched.

• Unnie. You’re coming to see me next week, right?

“Of course. I’ll buy lots of delicious things.”

Since first place in the practical exam was confirmed, Mr. Min-gyu started treating her well again.

‘Seeing him like that, he’s definitely the Mr. Min-gyu from when I was young… but it probably won’t last even a month.’

Sigh.

Nam Daeun, swallowing a sigh inwardly, continued her call with Nam Dahee.

• Can’t you come this weekend? I want to see you soon.

“I’m sorry. Unnie is in the middle of an exam right now.”

• Isn’t the practical exam already over?

Nam Dahee asked Nam Daeun with bright, alert eyes.

“That’s true… but Unnie has a debt she absolutely must repay.”

The special exam is not included in the practical exam.

Originally, the moment she realized she couldn’t contact her sister, she intended to forfeit.

However, Lee Hoyeon’s face, who had given up first place in the practical exam, kept coming to mind.

Coincidentally, she also found out that communication rights came from a monster she happened to catch while passing by.

From then on, Nam Daeun started making a plan.

A plan to transfer points to Lee Hoyeon to make him first place.

• Really?! Mr. Min-gyu said you must repay debts. Otherwise, you’re a bad person!

“…You shouldn’t use words like that.”

• Okay! If Unnie tells me not to use it, I won’t use it!

“Hehe… I love you. Dahee-ya.”

• I love you too. Unnie!

Nam Daeun continued the call with a pleased smile.

“Hoyeon-ssi… Wake up, Hoyeon-ssi….”

Tap. Tap.

I opened my eyes at the sensation of someone tapping my cheek while calling me.

“Ah. You’re finally awake.”

Lumi was waking me up inside the cramped tent.

“Ugh… I’m coming out.”

“Okay.”

Although it wasn’t a small tent, with three people sleeping, we had to be crammed together.

I took out water from my subspace pocket to quench my thirst, and carefully got up without touching Lucy’s arm that was slightly brushing against me, then went outside.

Lumi was sitting in front of the crackling campfire.

“Ah, Hoyeon-ssi… Ummm….”

As if she had been waiting, I immediately pulled Lumi, who had gotten up, into a hug and kissed her.

Vulgar breaths and the sound of saliva echoed through the quiet forest.

I had already cast the Rune barrier when I came out of the tent.

From the perspective of the drone hovering in the sky, I probably looked like I was sitting by the campfire.

“Lumi, you want to do it, right?”

I had deliberately told Lumi to wake me up 30 minutes earlier than usual.

Looking at the time, she had followed my instructions very well.

It had only been a little over an hour since I fell asleep, so I was a bit drowsy, but I could endure it.

“Yes, yes… As much as I couldn’t do earlier….”

“Take it off.”

I replied concisely and placed my hand on Lumi’s chest.

“Hnnngh….”

My hands explored Lumi’s body, and she slowly began to take off her cadet uniform.

Since being naked in the forest felt a bit awkward, Lumi took off her outer clothes, placed them on a rock, and slid down her stockings.

“You must have been looking forward to this all through your watch duty?”

“Ughhhh….”

Her already wet pussy was fully prepared to receive my cock.

“I’m going in.”

“Y-yes… Hnnngh…♡”

My cock burrowed into Lumi’s pussy.

*

“Ah, Ahh… I-I… Now…!”

Lumi, clinging to my upper body and trembling, let out delicate breaths.

“Yeah. I’m gonna cum too…!”

Pshhh pshhh-

Holding Lumi close, I poured out every last drop of my semen inside her.

Lumi, trembling slightly in my arms, soon pressed her lips against mine.

“Ummm… smack… Hng.”

Enjoying Lumi’s full breasts, I savored the afterglow with kisses.

Sensing my erection slowly subsiding, Lumi slowly got up and pulled her pussy off my cock.

Without a word, Lumi knelt down, opened her mouth, and began sucking my cock to finish. I stroked her head, looking up at the night sky for no reason.

The stars looked beautiful while receiving head.

“Haaah… slurp. glug glug. glug glug….”

I glanced at my smartwatch; it was almost time to wake Alice, just 10 minutes left.

I gently pushed Lumi away, who was burying her face deeper into my crotch in ecstasy.

“Lumi. We did it for too long. It’s already time for Alice to wake up.”

“smack… Y-yes? It’s already been two hours….”

“Sorry, it’s been so long that I couldn’t control myself. Go back inside and sleep first. You need to switch with Alice.”

“Yes. Thank you for the meal. Hoyeon-ssi…!”

Lumi, blushing, said goodbye to me and quickly dashed back into the tent.

“What the… snicker.”

It seemed like her attempt at being cute, but since I found myself smiling like a proud dad, was it a success?

I stirred the dying campfire for about 20 minutes, added more firewood to make the flames strong again, and then went into the tent to wake Alice.

“Alice… Wake up.”

I considered poking her cheek like I did with Lumi, but worried about what curses I might receive, I just woke her verbally.

“…I’m awake.”

Fortunately, Alice woke up quickly.

“Yeah. I got distracted and woke you up a bit late, so come out slowly.”

Since I had to give Alice a massage too, I calculated Lumi’s sleep time and woke Alice up a little later.

This meant I had to wake up early and go to sleep late, reducing my sleep time, but it couldn’t be helped.

To succeed in the harem, there was no other way but to cut down on sleep.

However, Alice, who had slept for four consecutive hours, looked more tired than me, who had slept less than two hours.

“Are you okay? You look really tired.”

“…I’m just not a morning person.”

As she said that, Alice glanced away after looking at my face.

Hmm, she really must not be a morning person.
