Episode 229. In the Club Room

‘Clean.’

Definitely, since I didn’t take off my clothes, tidying up was fast.

One ‘Clean’ spell makes sweat and other byproducts disappear.

We tidied up our clothes and got out of bed.

“I’m leaving now. Ahyoung-ssi.”

“Mmmph… Go on.”

Since we finished our short but deep relationship, it was time to go back.

Because there was less than 2 minutes left until lunch break.

It looked like I’d have to use acceleration just to make it.

Still, since I made sure to finish inside, I have no regrets.

‘I really made the most of my time.’

I probably had the most fulfilling time out of all the cadets in the academy.

What could be more fulfilling than having sex with the nurse in the nurse’s office?

Anyway, I have to get back to the classroom now…

“…Ahyoung-ssi.”

“…”

Baek Ahyoung grabbed one of my fingers, looking at me with the eyes of a puppy seeing its owner off.

She probably knew she had to let me go, too.

It was just her pouting.

Pouting because she wanted to stay with me longer.

It was hard to turn away from those longing eyes…

But I couldn’t help it.

I had to attend class.

Lucy and Lumi would be waiting, too.

I gently detached my finger from Baek Ahyoung’s grasp and hugged her.

“I’m going now. Honey.”

“…Yeah. Come again next time. I’ll be waiting.”

After parting with Baek Ahyoung, I left the nurse’s office.

Outside, many cadets were waiting for treatment as soon as lunch break ended.

• I miss the Saintess.

• Honestly, you only come here to see the nurse, right? How else could you get hurt every day?

• …I’m just working hard.

Tsk, tsk.

I shook my head and headed towards the classroom.

Anyway, guys like that aren’t just one or two.

There’s no need to pay them any mind.

‘How should I pounce on Ahyoung-ssi?’

On the way running to the classroom.

I pondered how I could replicate that ‘rape play’ feeling from back then.

Actually, threats… or things like that wouldn’t work now.

Because we’ve built trust between us.

Forcing myself on her wouldn’t make sense either.

‘Or maybe not? She might actually like that.’

Still, seeing her outwardly show displeasure, forcing myself would be a bit much, right?

Because a woman’s heart is important too.

“Tsk. Should I ask Liliana?”

She’s a succubus, so she should have some knowledge, right?

A moment later, as I entered the classroom, I saw Lucy and Lumi whispering to each other over there.

Seeing them like that right before class started, it seemed like they were discussing something important.

While the twins weren’t looking my way, I subtly glanced around.

Inside the classroom, I also saw Alice and Nam Daeun.

Actually, I hadn’t acknowledged either of them at the academy.

Alice gives off a lady-like vibe, making her hard to approach… and I haven’t known Nam Daeun for very long.

Nam Daeun was tapping her smartwatch, smiling.

She was probably messaging Nam Dahee or something.

‘Speaking of which, who would Nam Daeun eat lunch with?’

I eat with Lucy and Lumi every day.

Alice would probably eat by herself.

She probably wouldn’t care who saw her anyway.

Maybe she’d even go out to some fancy restaurant.

Then what about Nam Daeun?

‘I’ll have to ask her when I get home.’

She probably doesn’t have friends to eat with… so she’d eat alone.

That’s a bit… sad, isn’t it?

Daeun is practically my girlfriend now, too.

As I was thinking that and looking at Nam Daeun, she noticed my gaze and looked my way.

Smirk.

Seeing her give me a small smile was quite surprising.

That girl who used to be so expressionless.

Feeling good, I gave her a slight nod and turned my head away.

She didn’t seem to want me acknowledging her at the academy.

Just then, I made eye contact with Alice, who had been secretly watching me.

“…”

Alice, who had been looking at me, squeezed her eyes shut, shook her head slightly, and then her gaze returned to her smartwatch.

“…?”

What’s wrong with her now?

Did the effects wear off?

No way. Those effects last quite a while.

‘Is it because of the massage?’

I refused her request for a massage yesterday.

Alice and I would have to see each other soon anyway regarding the Centaur matter.

If she wants a massage, I’ll give her one then.

I approached Lucy and Lumi, who were still whispering.

“Lucy, Lumi. What are you two doing?”

“Uh, ah, Lee Hoyeon? It’s nothing.”

“Hehe. You’re here?”

Lucy and Lumi, who had been huddled close together, quickly separated the moment I arrived.

As if nothing had happened.

“…What’s wrong?”

I was curious, but decided to respect their privacy.

These two are just fascinating to watch, even when they’re just playing around.

I sat between the twins and prepared for class.

They both had bobbed hair, but only Lucy had re-dyed hers sky blue to distinguish them.

“Hoyeon-ssi. You absolutely must come after class today.”

“Huh? Oh, the club room? I know. We agreed to go together.”

“Yes. ‘Absolutely’. No matter what! Lucy is looking forward to it too.”

“Lu, Lumi…! Don’t say weird things! Besides, you’re looking forward to it more than I am!”

“No, it’s not. Lucy likes it too, so…”

“…”

Let’s be quiet for a bit. Everyone else is staring.

The words lingered on the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t say them.

Because they’d quiet down soon anyway.

“Sorry, Lumi… for raising my voice.”

“No, Lucy. I’m sorry for teasing you.”

Lucy and Lumi made eye contact with a soft ‘hee-ing’ sound and hugged each other.

Then, as if feeling each other’s warmth, they rubbed their faces together.

It wasn’t the first or second time they’d fight briefly and then hug like that, feeling affection, so I’d gotten used to it.

It was cute, too.

Every time they fought, they seemed to grow closer, like watching neighborhood kids.

Creak-

“Hello~! I am Professor Kang Hyorin of Dungeon Research Studies!”

Fortunately, the twins separated as the professor entered, and the afternoon class began.

*

“…”

“Why the long face? Lady Rebecca?”

“It’s nothing. My head just hurts today.”

Rebecca felt a headache in her secret hideout.

After discovering she was being brainwashed and parting ways with Lee Hoyeon, Rebecca summoned all her subordinates.

And she realized all her subordinates had fallen under Maestro’s brainwashing.

Once she recognized the nature of that magic power, she could easily notice it.

That magic power resided in everyone’s heart.

‘When did it get this deep…?’

Even Rebecca’s right-hand man, her trusted subordinate who had never even met Maestro, was brainwashed.

When did they make contact?

Could he really be such a perfect man?

“Understood. I shall take my leave now.”

“Mm. Go rest.”

However, Rebecca didn’t remove the brainwashing from her subordinates.

Because she couldn’t continuously care for her subordinates, and they wouldn’t be able to act properly either.

It was better to just leave them as they were.

‘Were they stealing my information?’

Fortunately, there was no plan to betray Pandemic.

We knew from the start that we were using each other anyway.

It was just that she had unknowingly gotten involved in a more sordid mission than Rebecca had anticipated.

Tsk.

I don’t have a single person on my side.

Rebecca felt a sense of loneliness for the first time in a while.

She had at least thought her subordinates were on her side.

To think they were all brainwashed by Maestro.

“…No, that’s not right.”

I gained someone on my side.

Lee Hoyeon.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even exchange contact information.

My student and also my gene provider.

His title is ‘Baby Daddy’.

“…My Baby Daddy. I can just go find him, right?”

Since there was no way to contact him, I had no choice but to go in person.

Rebecca brushed herself off and stood up.

It was almost time for the academy day to end.

Since the women who spent time with Baby Daddy seemed to fear her, she planned to meet him right at the academy.

*

After the afternoon classes ended.

I headed to the club room, which Lucy and Lumi had been persistently talking about.

‘It’s really been a while.’

Actually, due to exams and hospitalization, time had dragged on, and I hadn’t even thought about the club.

Lucy and Lumi had been meeting up separately anyway.

Honestly, there was no need to come all the way to the club room.

“It’s clean, right? Lumi and I kept managing it.”

“That’s right. Lucy and I worked hard.”

“Oh… right. It is clean… Huh? But what is that?”

As I went further inside, I saw an item that shouldn’t be in a club room.

However, Lucy and Lumi sat down at the table as if they didn’t care at all.

“Sit here. I’ll bring you some coffee.”

“Give me a cafe latte, Lumi!”

“I’ll have an americano… No, what is that?”

What caught my eye was…

A pink bed… heavily reflecting the twins’ taste.

It was also an incredibly large size.

It seemed bigger than a king-size. What do they call that? A large king?

“I’ll go make the coffee.”

“No, Lumi…”

“Lee Hoyeon, did you see this? They say it’s a Centaur that appeared in France.”

Lucy smiled broadly and held out her smartwatch to me.

“…Yeah, I saw it.”

These guys have no intention of answering me.

They’re deliberately ignoring my words.

Fine. I’ll play along.

They’ll tell me if I wait.

As I continued chatting with Lucy, Lumi brought out the coffee.

How long did we talk after that?

It felt good, like hanging out with friends after a long time.

“Still, you should have come sooner. We went through so much trouble to make this club.”

“It hasn’t even been a few days since I was discharged. I had many people to meet.”

“Ah, right, right. I almost forgot.”

“Lucy. Hoyeon-ssi must have had his reasons.”

I looked at Lumi, who was sipping her iced chocolate, and opened my mouth.

“So, tell me now. What’s with the bed?”

Actually, I had a hunch.

If I didn’t know the intention behind setting it up like that, I’d be an idiot.

I just wanted to hear it directly from Lucy and Lumi’s mouths.

“…Our weapon?”

“It’s where Hoyeon-ssi will fall for us.”

“…”

Lucy slightly avoided my gaze, while Lumi grabbed my arm instead.

“We actually thought about it a lot… but this is the only way. Since there are two of us.”

“…Since Lumi says so. Me too… Ah, it’s not like I hate it. It’s just, uh, ugh…”

Lumi and Lucy exchanged words and approached me.

It was true, I hadn’t had this kind of experience before.

This was uncharted territory for me too.

“Ah, anyway. Take off your clothes quickly. I don’t want to explain.”

“I’ll put your clothes away.”

Before I knew it, the twins were holding both my arms.

Sigh, fine.

Honestly, I had expected this ever since I first saw the bed.

I surrendered myself to the two of them and was dragged towards the bed.
