When I turned around at the sound of a cute, familiar voice, I saw Lucy running towards me and Rumi following me.

“Lee Ho-yeon! Come with me~.”

“Hello, Mr. Hoenn.”

Seeing the twins made me smile.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you at the Academy.”

“I know.”

How long has it been since we went to school together like this?

It had been a while since the three of us walked the awkward walk to school together, so it felt a bit more comfortable.

Lucy and Rumi walked on either side of me.

“Are you okay? Can you walk?”

“Of course it’s okay.”

“Can you use all kinds of magic?”

“Yeah. I think it would have gotten better, right?”

As I walked and chatted, I noticed Lucy and Rumi’s awkward arms on either side of me.

Originally, he walked at a slight distance from me, but it seemed uncomfortable somehow that he was so close to me and that he kept raising and lowering his arms and twitching.

I checked the status window.

★ Heroine status window

[Rumi]

– [Likeability: 99] (+ 0.5)

– [Liberty: 85]

– [Appetite: 25]

– [Fatigue: 30]

Current status: Arms folded… Can I join in? No, I don’t think so… .

★ Heroine status window

[Lucy]

– [Likeability: 99] (+ 0.1)

– [Liberty: 85]

– [Appetite: 35]

– [Fatigue: 35]

Current status: Should I at least hold hands? no. Not that much yet… No, I did everything, but it was just my hands… .

‘You’re worried.’

It’s different whether he’s crossing his arms or holding his hands, but he seems to want to show off that he and I are in a relationship.

Well, we’re dating now.

cute.

Actually, it’s a bit weird because there are so many people, but…well, I guess I can say later that I did it because I was happy to see my friends.

I opened my mouth as I looked at the two who were worried.

“Do you want to cross your arms?”

“yes yes?”

“Uh, uh….”

Lucy and Rumi reacted equally in confusion, wondering if they were twins.

“You kept twitching your arm, wasn’t that what you wanted to do?”

“… Rumi. Do you want to do it?”

“I-I can’t do it… There are so many people.”

“…Then I won’t do it either.”

Rumi avoided my eyes with reddened cheeks and then slightly looked away from me, and Lucy walked faster than me.

Well, they are the type that don’t do well when you put down a mat.’

I knew it.

I closed my slightly open arm again.

“Next, let’s think about how to calculate it. First, we need to figure out the magic sensitivity.”

“hmm….”

It’s been a while since I took a theory class, but the work to be done doesn’t change.

I pretended to take notes and thought about what to do next.

Now that we’re back at the academy, it’s time to target the heroines again.

‘For now, Lucy and Rumi are almost done.’

The favorability rating for both rose to 99.

All it takes is one big incident… I can roughly guess what it is.

Since I’m dating twins, I’ll have to do it someday.

‘Next is Ellis and Surin. And Professor Lim Sol.’

Ellis will start the massage soon, so it’s okay.

The problem is Surin and Professor Lim Sol.

‘The stalker case, the key to conquering Moon Su-rin, has disappeared.’

Originally, the story was about Vice Chairman Shin Dong-min becoming Moon Su-rin’s stalker and saving Moon Su-rin from mental distress, but Shin Dong-min exploded before that.

Not long ago, an article appeared saying that she was missing.

I don’t know if he’s really dead or escaped.

‘If he were alive, he would have responded by now.’

Professor Lim Sol is not a heroine, but her score is high enough to be that of a heroine.

You must attack it unconditionally.

But it became a bit of a business relationship.

In fact, since we’ve even had a fella, it seems like we’ll make progress as soon as we cross a line, but it feels like it’s difficult for both of us to cross that line.

Because there is a thick line between professor and student.

Of course, there is still a lot left to do with Im Sol.

He said that both the magic fair and the thesis were almost finished.

The problem is Moon Su-rin… .

‘I’ll have to go and see it today.’

Of course, not only Moon Soo-rin but other heroines are also included.

Next is my concern about my combat power.

Combat power.

Since it is not shown in exact numbers, it is impossible to be certain, but its simple combat power seems to be that of an S-class hunter.

For reference, this is the mid to late part of the original work. The protagonist’s level of power is equivalent to that of an S-class hunter.

Anyway, in the end, stronger enemies appear due to power inflation… For now, it can be said that there is no need to worry about being threatened.

As I thought about combat power, another problem came to mind.

‘Status window.’

———

??? : ???

———

At some point, my status window does not open.

Only a strange sign called ??? appears.

Of course, it doesn’t matter because it’s not as important as the heroine’s status window, but it was a bit annoying not being able to figure out my stats.

Because I couldn’t check the exact magic stat.

“Ah… I don’t know.”

Are stats important? Women are important.

What do you do when you look at the thing that says ????

Anyway, since I fell into this world, there are a lot of things I don’t understand.

It is better to quickly pass over trivial questions that cannot be resolved.

After class, I started thinking about what to talk about with Lucy Rumi.

Crunchy Crunchy-

Ellis was taking notes from a class on calculating the magic density of a dungeon.

Even though I had studied in advance, the classes at Victoria Academy were difficult to follow.

You must focus on your studies to maintain your grades at this academy, which is considered the best academy in the world.

That is common sense.

‘But why is he doing that…? .’

It was absurd to see the top student ignoring common sense, rolling his pen with a bored expression, and not attending class.

Hoyeon Lee.

A person who does this in every theory class and has set an absurd record of getting perfect scores in all subjects.

“….”

Things like that happen, too.

In fact, there was no particular reason for Ellis to study.

Ellis’s own satisfaction.

Expectations sent from the home country to Ellis, the successor to the Iris Guild.

And the recognition I want to receive from my sister.

But more important than all these things was the treatment of congenital magical power disorders.

If I hadn’t had a congenital magical power disorder, my self-esteem wouldn’t have been low and I wouldn’t have felt obsessive.

In the past, I would have been angry if I lost first place, but now I have let go of my obsession with grades.

This is because a cure for congenital magical power disorders was found.

That’s the problem because I’m in first place.

“Ah, that’s all for today’s class.”

As the gray-haired old professor left the classroom, Ellis also put down his pen.

It’s almost lunch time, so we have to go eat.

As she was about to get up, remembering Sebas-chan waiting outside, the sounds of the cadets around her permeated her ears.

– Lee Ho-yeon I think he looks more handsome since I last saw him in a long time.

– No matter how many times I see it, I don’t get used to it.

– But were you really that close to the twins?

– The three of you were famous for hanging out together.

– okay… ? But I wonder if it was that close.

– is it. It seems a bit too close.

The name Lee Ho-yeon continues to catch my eye when I listen to it.

Ellis glanced at Hoyeon Lee’s seat.

Hoyeon Lee was having a conversation with the Lucirumi twins.

“Lee Ho-yeon. What are you doing after today?”

“Well, I have to go see the professor. I think I should also go see the student council.”

“Aha… that’s a good thing. We have work to do too, right Rumi?”

“… Yes. I’m glad.”

“What? They’re trying to do something strange without me.”

Certainly, it seems like the distance has gotten closer.

I’m not talking about physical distance, but what should I say?

The air current flowing between them has changed.

I knew he was having a physical relationship with Rumi, but outside of it, they were just friends and they weren’t that close.

Has there been a change of heart?

“….”

Rumi’s face, seen in the secretly obtained video, seemed to be visible in the classroom.

A woman’s face that should be shown in a secret place.

Since I could see it in the classroom, I felt like I was seeing something that shouldn’t be visible.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

At that time, Hoyeon Lee went outside.

While looking at the back, Ellis slowly got up from his seat.

‘Now is your chance.’

I have to tell Hoyeon Lee to come home.

I could contact her through my smartwatch, but after watching her chatting with Lucy Lumi, I wanted to tell her in person.

Elise, who had gone out of the classroom, caught Lee Ho-yeon’s back, and Alice increased her speed and approached her.

Since there was no one around at the time, Ellis spoke right away.

“Lee Ho-yeon.”

“huh?”

It felt strange to see Lee Ho-yeon’s face up close for the first time in a long time.

“…come to my house today.”

“today?”

“huh.”

Ellis finally seemed to feel reassured by Lee Ho-yeon’s slightly embarrassed reaction.

No matter how many women Lee Ho-yeon has, he cannot ignore what he says.

That was important.

‘A relationship that you lead.’

‘Even if you cheat, you only need one faithful person.’

Such values were ingrained in Ellis from a young age.

This is because this is what I always heard from my mother who left her father, a playboy, alone.

– I’m the one in that person’s chest anyway, so I should at least allow him to get some air.

That perception was ingrained in me because I was raised by an incredibly generous mother.

So Ellis did not admit his crush.

Because I felt defeated.

Bees gather on a flower called Lee Ho-yeon.

I felt like I was one of those many bees.

“Uhm. Okay. I’ll go today.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

After finishing what she had to say, Ellis turned around and returned to the classroom.

Feeling like you are in control of the relationship.

Ellis smiled slightly at the desired flow.

*

“….”

As I looked at the back of Ellis turning away, I tilted my head.

Alice’s status window was displayed in front of my eyes.

★ Heroine status window

[Ellis]

– [Likeability: 68]

– [Liberty: 50]

– [Appetite: 40]

– [Fatigue: 55]

Current status: I need to go home and get ready. First, let Sebas-chan go… .

It was definitely harsh.

This is true even though the favorability rating is 68.

Even though the favorability level was similar to that of the 1-on-1 duel, the reaction was not the same.

‘I think this is a woman’s problem.’

If men are flowers and women are bees, Alice is the queen bee.

[It’s natural for a talented man to be tempted. I can allow everything. But, don’t forget that I am the queen bee.]

This is what Ellis says to the main character in the original work.

Although she is a heroine who is generous with her harem, the important thing is that she must be the queen bee.

Worker bees work, soldier bees fight, queen bees give birth… I’m not talking about this concept.

It is important to be the king of bees.

If a capable man is a flower, he must be the best among the bees that occupy that flower.

That was Ellis’s way of thinking.

‘Should I have attacked Ellis first?’

It would have been more convenient then.

Of course I don’t regret it.

Because Baek A-young, Nam Da-eun, Lucy, and Rumi were all precious.

Moreover, there were many events that occurred that I could not control, so there was nothing I could do about it.

“I have to try something this time too.”

Still, there is an opening called massage, so I have no choice but to look into it.

The only thing I can trust is my magic and my fingers.

When I returned to the classroom, Lucy and Rumi were waiting for me.

The two were talking while facing each other.

“Rumi. What are you eating from lunch… Huh? So you’re here?”

“Mr. Hoyeon, where do you like for lunch?”

“I said I wanted to eat a hamburger, but Rumi said she wanted to eat tteokbokki. Lee Ho-yeon, you decide.”

I picked up my bag while looking at the bright eyes of two people looking at me.

“Let’s go eat some soup.”

“Eh?”

“I’ll go to a place where Mr. Hoenn is nice.”

“What’s wrong, Rumi? It shouldn’t come out like that! You were so against my hamburger!”

Familiar atmosphere.

As expected, I felt most at ease when I was chatting with the twins.

We continued bickering and went to have lunch.
