Chapter Index

    after class.

    Lucy and Rumi disappeared somewhere.

    ‘I think it went towards the club room.’

    How did I know, I was heading that way too.

    I headed towards the club building to go to the student council, and Lucy and Rumi were walking in front of me, giggling to each other.

    Lucy and Rumi told me to expect a lot, so I hid behind them and walked so as not to bump into them.

    After confirming that the two entered the building, I sent a message to my smart watch.

    – Me: Sister Surin. To commemorate my discharge, I will stop by the student council.

    I’m thinking of going to the student council for the first time in a while.

    After all, I belong to the student council public relations department.

    Of course, I’ve been less active these days… but it can’t be helped.

    The Public Relations Department itself was an organization created by Moon Su-rin to attract me to the student council.

    Both Su-rin Moon and I have had a lot of work to do these days, so it’s impossible for us to have any proper activities.

    Anyway, it’s been a while since I came into the club building.

    “It’s awkward.”

    I was curious about what Lucy and Rumi were doing in the club room, but since I had a rough guess, I left them alone and headed for the elevator.

    The student council room is located on the 17th floor, the highest floor in the club building.

    The elevator moved with a whooshing sound.

    Even now that I think about it, it still blows my mind that a guy like me is on the student council.

    – Ding dong. It is the 17th floor.

    Crying-

    The elevator door opened and facilities such as the student council room, president’s office, and lounge were visible.

    It had an atmosphere like a company office.

    ‘Do you know anyone?’

    As I was exiting the elevator and turning my head here and there, a female member of the department who was working on a hologram monitor made eye contact with me.

    “Huh? You’re my junior!”

    “Huh? What are you talking about… huh? It’s true.”

    When I first joined the student council, some of the seniors I had become friends with recognized me and approached me.

    “It’s been a while. It was to commemorate my discharge.”

    “Tsk. Our junior became famous so quickly that it’s a bit awkward to act like we’re friends.”

    “right…?”

    “Still, we’re seniors on the student council, so wouldn’t it be okay to feel comfortable with us?”

    “Then you try it first.”

    “…I won’t do it.”

    The seniors looked at each other and scratched their heads.

    Well, I did become a lot famous during that time.

    ‘If this continues, the conversation won’t progress.’

    I smiled and continued.

    “Haha… Where is the Chairman? I’d like to say hello.”

    I know they are good people.

    But Moon Su-rin is more important.

    sorry. everyone.

    “The chairman is in the chairman’s office right now. He’s probably working. Do you think you’ll be okay?”

    “Junior Hoyeon is here. Wouldn’t it be okay? Please knock and go in.”

    “Yes, yes. Thank you.”

    I bowed my head to the kind seniors.

    The seniors waved their hands roughly as if they had a lot of work behind them, then went back to their seats and tapped on the keyboard.

    smart-

    “Chairman. I’m here.”

    there is no answer.

    ‘I said it was definitely inside.’

    I pressed my ear to the door and focused my magic.

    Then, little by little, I could hear sounds coming from inside.

    Crunchy Crunchy-

    “You bad bastard… Shin Dong-min, you bad bastard… What are you going to do if you run away?”

    Crunchy Crunchy-

    I flinched at the quiet cursing that came from inside.

    “….”

    Surin’s voice is so scary.

    When I looked back, I saw that my seniors were also concentrating on their work.

    He was staring at the monitor with his eyes glued to the keyboard and tapping aggressively, creating an atmosphere that was difficult to disturb.

    Why on earth are you doing that… Ah. i get it.

    ‘I thought there weren’t many people there, but it looks like they all ran away.’

    Not long ago, under the leadership of Moon Su-rin, a lot of articles were published about Vice Chairman Shin Dong-min.

    Since he was the vice-president of the student council, he quickly cut out of the academy to manage his image, and as a result, all of the vice-president’s gang disappeared from the student council.

    “Well, it would be difficult if about half of them suddenly disappeared.”

    For some reason, the seniors’ eyes seemed a little dead.

    ‘hmm….’

    But no matter how busy you are, you can’t keep doing this.

    I knocked on the door again.

    smart-

    But there was still no response.

    “… Sister. I’ll just go in?”

    When I gently turned the doorknob, the door opened, and I saw Moon Su-rin’s face frowning while holding a pen.

    I hope they won’t scold me for this…?

    Moon Su-rin was engrossed in work without even noticing that the door was open, and I quietly approached behind her.

    I could see the top of my head covered by flowing platinum hair.

    My attention was drawn to the voluptuous figure trying to slip out of the neat cadet uniform.

    We arrived right behind Moon Su-rin.

    Although they were at a distance where they could feel each other’s breathing, Moon Su-rin’s eyes were still focused on the documents.

    I would have noticed it at this point… but since I haven’t noticed it yet, I guess I’m under a lot of stress.

    “Shin Dong-min, you bastard… you bad bastard… Mr. Lee…”

    “Sister. I’m here.”

    “Kyaaak!”

    I was afraid that if I continued to let it continue, I would get even more swearing, so I quickly hung up.

    When he put his hand on her shoulder and spoke to her, Moon Su-rin made a strange voice and flinched.

    At the same time, the documents on the desk began to float telekinetically.

    If this continues, it’s going to be a big problem.

    “Uh… sister. It’s me. Lee Ho-yeon.”

    “Kiyaa… Huh? Ho, Hoyeon. When did you come?”

    “I knocked, but there was no answer… so I just came in. I’m sorry if you were so surprised.”

    “No, yeah. I’m not surprised at all.”

    The documents that had been floating in the sky were neatly organized and fell on the desk as if to say, ‘I was originally going to organize them like this.’ Moon Soo-rin flipped her hair and made eye contact with me.

    “You said you were discharged from the hospital. You shouldn’t have contacted me in advance.”

    “I left a message, but there was no reply.”

    “… sorry. I was too busy.”

    Looking at the dark circles under my eyes, it definitely seems like that.

    “Oh, it’s okay. How is your sister?”

    “Yes. I was just waiting for you to be discharged from the hospital. I also made a reservation for Janghyangdang.”

    “Ahaha… I’m okay anytime.”

    I chatted with Su-rin Moon and asked how she was doing.

    Today, you should get hints about the strategy during a natural conversation.

    “Are you having any difficulties these days?”

    “Like what?”

    “hmm….”

    The culprit of the stalking incident has disappeared, but Moon Su-rin’s psychology may still be the same.

    I’m sure I’ve expressed my disapproval of stalking verbally in the past.

    Of course, he said something that seemed to deny it… but it’s worth taking a stab at first.

    “I’m under a lot of stress these days because of reporters. Every time I do something, reporters flock to me… and even though I was discharged from the hospital, I was hiding. I was wondering what my sister was doing.”

    “… Well, I adapted. I’m a celebrity.”

    “….”

    I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t get used to it.

    What if the heroine who is targeted due to the stalker incident adapts to it?

    “… I can roughly understand what those people are feeling. It’s like being a fan or something.”

    “yes?”

    “Nothing.”

    No matter how you look at it, it’s nothing.

    ★ Heroine status window

    [Moon Su-rin]

    – [Likeability: 88]

    – [Liberty: 50]

    – [Appetite: 40]

    – [Fatigue: 73]

    Current status: I’m sorry, Hoyeon….

    ‘No, what on earth?’

    Why are you sorry to me? sister.

    And why does favorability keep rising?

    What should I do if I get attacked alone like that?

    I looked at Surin Moon with a frustrated heart, but Surin Moon avoided my gaze and opened her mouth.

    “Big… Anyway, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

    What can I say about the side of Moon Su-rin’s face as she continues speaking?

    It felt like he was apologizing to me.

    *

    “ha….”

    After Lee Ho-yeon left, Moon Su-rin sighed in the empty student council room.

    Because I knew he was stressed out by the paparazzi.

    From Lee Ho-yeon’s point of view, it was an attempt to embarrass Moon Su-rin, but Moon Su-rin, who did not know that, had no choice but to take it seriously.

    Because I myself had a hard time because of that at one time.

    “I’m sorry, Hoyeon…”

    What he did because he liked him was making things difficult for him.

    Su-rin Moon started the smartwatch and started deleting photos.

    A photo saved from the news featuring Hoyeon Lee.

    Photos taken by paparazzi and Sasaeng fans.

    After deleting all the saved photos from time to time, Moon Su-rin also looked at the recording files.

    “….”

    If you delete this, nothing will remain on your smart watch.

    All traces related to Lee Ho-yeon will be erased.

    “Wouldn’t your voice be okay…?”

    Moon Su-rin couldn’t even erase this. No, I didn’t want to erase it.

    This was because I felt even more separated from Lee Ho-yeon, whom I couldn’t meet easily.

    “Yes. Because Hoyeon doesn’t know this….”

    How can I be stressed when I don’t know anything?

    This is innocent.

    Su-rin Moon reproduced Ho-yeon Lee’s voice.

    – Sister Surin. i love you.

    At the same time, I slowly closed my eyes, burying the guilt that was surging in my chest.

    *

    “It’s hard….”

    I had a headache wondering how to attack Moon Su-rin.

    At first, I just liked it because it was conquered automatically… but now I know how to conquer the heroine.

    When the favorability level rises to 99, each heroine must take specific actions to win.

    This is because the favorability level will rise to 100 and a complete attack will be achieved.

    So just increasing favorability doesn’t mean much.

    In fact, it may become more difficult to find specific actions.

    “First, I have to meet Professor Lim Sol.”

    I made an appointment with Moon Su-rin to have dinner on the weekend.

    It might be a good idea to talk slowly when you have time.

    “Welcome, Cadet Hoyeon Lee.”

    My thoughts about Moon Su-rin stopped for a moment.

    This is because we arrived at the magic hall where Imsol is located.

    “I’m visiting Professor Lim Sol’s lab on the 2nd floor.”

    After getting permission from the receptionist in the lobby, I took the elevator up to the second floor.

    Professor Lim Sol’s lab was as dizzy as always.

    As I passed the traces of experiments scattered here and there and went inside, I saw Lim Sol frowning as he looked at the magic circle.

    ‘Everyone lives such a busy life.’

    As long as you come to see me, I’m working.

    “Professor. I’m here.”

    “Yes, I’m here at the right time. I needed you.”

    Professor Lim Sol greeted me without taking his eyes off the magic circle.

    “What is that? A magic circle?”

    “That’s right. I’m in the final stages of research, but I don’t know what to do with it.”

    I took a quick look at the magic circle that Professor Lim Sol was seeing.

    “hmm….”

    “what’s the matter?”

    Professor Lim Sol’s research topic is the core techniques of magic.

    The goal of the research is to increase the power of magic by strengthening the core techniques contained in the magic circle.

    Of course, there are many other uses, but that is a representative example.

    The magic circle that Imsol sees now was a magic circle that we named ‘irregular magic circle’.

    Unlike magic circles where the core spells are determined according to special rules, this is a magic circle where the core spells are determined irregularly.

    There are only a few types of magic, and they are difficult and complicated, but… I don’t think it’s enough for Imsol to worry about that much, right?

    ‘Ah… I understand.’

    “Professor, were you wondering how to explain this to others?”

    “… how did you know?”

    Imsol looked quite surprised and asked me back.

    Actually, it wasn’t difficult.

    When talking to Imsol, I just have to speak at a higher level than what I think.

    Then it was mostly correct.

    “If you pretend, you pretend. I’m someone’s student. Let’s have a cup of coffee together for a moment. Then I’ll take a look at you too.”

    “… Hmm, I guess so.”

    Im Sol, who was frowning, smiled slightly and sat in front of me.
