Episode 257. Final Exam Celebration (13)

“There are no leaks.”

“Young lady… Of course. This place costs a fortune.”

Scarlet stubbornly checked every nook and cranny of the house, despite the real estate agent’s words.

“No mold, water pressure… good.”

“….”

After checking the large house from the wallpaper finish to the drain, windows, lighting, noise, and view, Scarlet finally nodded.

“It’s acceptable.”

“…Yes. That’s a relief.”

“Let’s go finalize the contract now.”

“Understood….”

It’s finally over.

I thought the rich would be easier to deal with.

It had been a long time since I encountered such a picky person during a contract.

The real estate agent sighed and led the way out of the building.

“Hmm….”

It’s a good house.

Scarlet thought as she looked at the yard.

This is good enough to compare with the house Miss Alice lives in.

“…Mm.”

Now that the work was done and she had some free time, Scarlet recalled last night.

The night she arbitrarily took Lee Hoyeon’s cock into her mouth.

She couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason why she did it.

If she had to guess… it was probably irritation.

Lee Hoyeon is a handsome man acknowledged by everyone. Even Scarlet thought he was good-looking.

His abilities were beyond question. He was a guaranteed success.

Although it started with a negative contract, Scarlet eventually planned to leave the Iris Guild and join Lee Hoyeon.

It’s a good workplace with vision, a great Succubus superior, and a capable boss.

The only slight problem was that the boss was too much of a womanizer.

Lee Hoyeon wasn’t a scoundrel who messed with just any woman, but he was the embodiment of lust, selectively targeting only pretty and attractive women.

That’s why Scarlet had worried at first.

Objectively speaking, Scarlet was on the prettier side.

Although her abilities were recognized now, preventing anyone from bringing it up, the memory of being scorned as the ‘beauty trap specialist’ when she first joined the Iris Guild still lingered.

However, Scarlet’s worries were unfounded.

Instead, Lee Hoyeon showed no interest in her at all.

It wasn’t that he was holding back; he showed absolutely zero interest.

Even after being teased by Liliana’s tail and showing him all sorts of embarrassing states due to aphrodisiac magic that she couldn’t possibly show to any other man, Lee Hoyeon was only interested in other women.

It was to the point where she wondered how this was even possible.

While the things she initially worried about didn’t happen… the human heart is a strange thing.

Because he showed no interest at all, she started getting irritated.

Despite her presence, he’d carry on having sex with other women and casually converse with her while naked.

It was a major blow to her pride as a woman.

It was even worse for Scarlet, who had always thought she lacked nothing.

‘Doesn’t he see me as a woman?’

If not, then why?

Seeing Lee Hoyeon show no reaction even when she subtly tested the waters, Scarlet felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.

Scarlet’s feelings, which had been building up, finally exploded last night.

“…I might have gone a bit too far.”

The experience of sucking Lee Hoyeon’s cock was quite… fun.

Seeing him enjoy it, she understood why other women were drawn to him.

She felt the satisfaction of being able to control such an outstanding man…

In fact, she wanted to do more.

However, Scarlet decided to hold back a little.

If she showed this much, he’d surely pay more attention starting tomorrow.

For now, that was enough.

“Young lady. Aren’t you going to sign the contract?”

“I’m going now.”

Scarlet smiled faintly and exited the building.

Friday morning, the day of the Final Exam Festival.

The Lucy and Lumi twins walked out of the dormitory and onto the road.

“Lucy… Maybe we should have worn pretty clothes too? I hope Mr. Hoyeon won’t be disappointed?”

“No, Lumi. More cadets are wearing their uniforms.”

While wearing cadet uniforms was the basic rule within the academy, quite a few cadets were wearing casual clothes for the festival.

However, Lumi, who rarely went out, didn’t own any casual clothes at all.

That’s why both of them came out wearing their cadet uniforms.

Last night.

The twins, who had prepared a perfect course for their date with Lee Hoyeon, reviewed their plan while talking.

Lucy turned on her smartwatch to check the schedule.

“First, from 8:40 AM to 8:50 AM, morning greetings and conversation with Lee Hoyeon. Then, travel from 8:50 AM to 8:55 AM. From 8:55 AM to 9:10 AM, try catching prizes…”

“Lucy. But it’s already 8:50.”

“Huh? Ah. It really is!”

The original meeting time was 8:40 AM, but Lee Hoyeon was running a bit late.

This was because he had to drop off the Nam Daeun sisters and Liliana.

But the twins, unaware of this, fell into confusion while looking at their schedule.

Their meticulously planned schedule, divided down to the minute and second, was already ruined.

Lumi, who had enthusiastically contributed ideas, pouted with a crestfallen face.

Lucy opened her mouth to console her dejected sister.

“Lumi. I have an idea.”

“Mm…?”

“Let’s change the plan. We were too naive. We need to monopolize Lee Hoyeon while we have the chance.”

“…Mr. Hoyeon? How?”

The twins were aware that many women were after Lee Hoyeon.

Lumi thought they should just endure it since it couldn’t be stopped, while Lucy believed they needed to be proactive.

“First, since there are two of us…”

The twins clasped their hands tightly and formulated a plan.

*

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I’m a bit late.”

I arrived late to the meeting spot because I had to drop off Liliana and the Nam Daeun sisters.

There were a lot of people, so I had to take a significant detour.

Even though I was 20 minutes late, Lucy and Lumi were smiling brightly.

“Mm. It’s okay.”

“Hello, Mr. Hoyeon.”

“Yeah. Hi.”

The twins were wearing their standard cadet uniforms.

They were plain clothes, but they showcased the twins’ charm perfectly.

I’d seen them so often, I was used to it.

“Since you’re late, let’s go quickly!”

“That’s right. Let’s go!”

“Whoa, okay. Okay.”

Lucy and Lumi didn’t even properly greet me; they grabbed my arm and started running ahead.

Why are these kids so proactive today?

I headed towards the academy, following Lucy and Lumi.

‘Wow, there are really a lot of people.’

Almost all the cadets were wandering around inside the academy.

The streets were lined with stalls, as well as various events prepared by the cadets themselves.

“Should we try something like that? Magic Shooting.”

“I’d like that, Mr. Hoyeon.”

“Let’s go! I’m confident too!”

I had imagined a shooting game involving hitting cute dolls with crude guns, but this was different.

“…Are we supposed to hit that?”

“Yes! For your reference, 3rd-years aren’t allowed, and for 2nd-years, the distance is 200 meters.”

A small dot about 100 meters away from here.

We had to hit that with this gun, and apparently, the difficulty is too high for 3rd-years, so they don’t accept them.

‘These guys are total scammers.’

“Would you like to try? The prize dolls are really cute, so ladies tend to like them.”

“…Yeah, sure.”

I smiled and paid the senior who pointed to the price list with his hand.

A moment later.

“Wow, Mr. Hoyeon, you’re amazing!”

Clap, clap, clap.

“…Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

The dolls handed over by the senior with a bitter expression.

I had two first-prize dolls in my hands.

I feel a bit sorry, but… who told them to set up a game like this?

Someone has to win for balance, right?

“Here, take one each.”

“Are you giving this to me?”

“Yeah. I won them for you two.”

“Thank you…!”

“Thank you….”

Lucy and Lumi hugged the dolls I won tightly.

Seeing that made me feel good for some reason.

They’re so grateful for something so trivial.

They must react so well because they like me.

It would probably be the same even if it wasn’t a doll, but any gift.

‘This is fun.’

It really is fun.

Little moments like these are sometimes necessary.

Trying to seduce heroines or fighting every day is getting tiring.

Of course, Rebecca mentioned there would be terrorist attacks after sunset… so I can’t let my guard down from then on.

Leaving the shooting range, we walked around looking for other attractions, and the closer we got to the center, the more cadets there were.

And the attention directed towards us also increased.

• Isn’t that Lee Hoyeon?

• Beside him are Lucy and Lumi.

• The really handsome and pretty ones sure hang out together.

No one was criticizing or cursing us.

In fact, after beating the Vice President, no cadet dared to act cocky in front of me anymore.

They just paid attention.

It became easier without anyone challenging me, but this kind of attention is definitely burdensome.

Even when we went to stalls or event booths, everyone there recognized us.

“Uh, uh? You’re Cadet Lee Hoyeon, right! I’m a huge fan!”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

“C-can we take a picture together?!”

“That might be difficult. I apologize.”

I gently pushed past the cadet asking for a photo and headed towards a less crowded area with the twins.

Normally, not many cadets would approach me like that.

Even though I’m famous, people attending the academy could see my face once or twice from afar.

They were probably just getting caught up in the festival atmosphere and doing things they wouldn’t normally do.

At this point, I almost missed the doll shooting place from earlier.

Those people didn’t make a fuss when they saw us.

Fortunately, the further we moved from the central fountain, the fewer people there were, and no one followed us.

“Haaah… This is tiring.”

“Right. Being with you, Mr. Hoyeon, makes people so bothersome.”

“I’m sorry. You couldn’t enjoy yourselves because of me.”

I genuinely felt sorry this time.

It wasn’t just me; the twins must have wanted to have fun too.

As I was feeling a bit down, Lucy and Lumi took my hands warmly on either side.

When I turned my head, I saw the twins looking at me with adorable smiles.

“It’s okay. Just being with you, Mr. Hoyeon, makes me happy.”

“…Me too. I like this, too.”

“…Thank you. Both of you.”

As I expressed my gratitude, Lucy jumped up and beamed a bright smile.

“Let’s at least look around the less crowded places first!”

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

The less crowded areas lacked the exciting events or stalls found elsewhere.

However, just because they weren’t popular didn’t mean they weren’t fun.

For some people, these places held special significance.

“Ah, ahh… I, I wanted to participate in the final live performance too.”

“Ah, welcome….”

We entered an event booth where the final live performance of anime voice actors, whom Lumi adored, was being played.

The chubby man running the event looked flustered upon seeing us and waved his hands frantically.

As soon as Lumi entered the booth, she ignored the man and approached the holographic monitor displaying the video.

Then, her eyes began to well up with tears.

“H-hic… sob…”

“…Lumi. What’s wrong? Lumi?”

Lucy tried to stop her from beside her, but she couldn’t.

After trying to talk to her a few times, Lucy gave up and returned to my side.

“What are you doing… Ah, ugh. You’re such a dummy, Lumi…”

Lucy, expressing her annoyance, was quite cute.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Lucy]

• [ Affection: 99 ] (+ 0.2)

• [ Lust: 90 ]

• [ Appetite: 50 ]

• [ Fatigue: 40 ]

Current Status: That idiot Lumi. She said we should pounce on Lee Hoyeon together, so what is she doing alone…!

‘Aha.’

No wonder she looked frustrated; so that’s what she was thinking.

As I pondered what to do with these audacious twins, an idea suddenly struck me.

I hadn’t properly been intimate with Lucy alone.

The first time was when she pretended to be Lumi, and the second time was when the three of us were together.

I grabbed Lucy’s hand as she was looking at Lumi.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Let’s leave Lumi here for a moment and go outside.”

“Why?”

If it were Lumi, she would have understood my intention immediately and followed, but Lucy, lacking that experience, didn’t get it.

Of course, I liked that feeling too.

“Just follow me for now.”

“Ah, uh? Okay. Don’t pull so hard.”

Ah, but there’s something I need to do first.

“Ahem, ahem.”

I looked at the man beside us, who was watching Lumi with curiosity, and cleared my throat.

Soon, the man made eye contact with me, then let out a startled yelp and retreated further inside.

“….”

I feel a little bad about that too.

But I can’t help it. If he were to steal glances at Lumi’s chest while I’m gone, I’d get annoyed.

Feeling reassured, I left Lumi, who was practically burying her head in the monitor, and pulled Lucy out by the hand.
