Corner of the second floor of the club building.

The desk in the Let’s Play club room was guarded by twins.

“It’s a good thing we made a bed here, Rumi, right? You can sleep at night.”

“Yeah… I’m glad.”

It has not been long since the dungeon terror incident ended.

Most academy cadets are resting in their dormitories or home.

The twins needed rest even more after their battle with Lucifer, but the reason they were here was because so many reporters had gathered in front of the dormitory.

“Anyway, how long do I have to stay here? Will it all be gone by tomorrow?”

“It will probably take a few days for the reporters to go… I think they are still hiding around the dormitory.”

“This is really too much! There are a lot of people other than us who fought against Lucifer, so why are they only coming to us?”

“Maybe it’s because everyone else is busy…?”

“Where is that? Ugh. I’m pissed. This is an invasion of privacy.”

There were thousands of people caught up in the dungeon terror, but only fifteen of them were heroes who solved the terror.

Among the heroes, the only ones whose whereabouts are clearly revealed are Lucy and Rumi, who live in the dormitory.

It was natural for him to become a target for reporters looking for a scoop.

“Now, how about this! If I do this, the nobility is mine.”

“Ah… what should I do then….”

In the end, they managed to escape from the dormitory and hid in the club room to kill time by playing board games.

“Rumi. I won this game, so give up… okay?”

Lucy, who was spending time playing board games in the club room, sensed someone outside the door.

Lucy put down her cards for a moment and gave a signal to Rumi.

“Shh, Rumi. Someone’s outside.”

“Ugh. Really…?”

Lucy’s senses, which have become sharper these days, reached their peak during the battle with Lucifer.

First of all, the heroine Lucy Rumi’s twins are top-notch in talent.

Now that I have the opportunity, it is natural for my skills to improve.

There is no doubt that his skills were such that even Im Sol praised him.

Shh.

Lucy put her finger to her lips, picked up the frying pan in the corner of the club room, and placed herself behind the door.

This is a tool that Lucy used to practice cooking to increase her feminine power.

“Lu, Lucy. What’s wrong?!”

“If you followed me all the way here, you should be punished. I’m so angry I can’t stand it!”

“Couldn’t he just be a passing cadet…?”

“That can’t be possible. If they weren’t workaholics like the student council, there’s no way they would be at the academy right now. It’s definitely a reporter who followed us.”

“Ah, anyway, if you tell the reporter….”

“A reporter is a high-ranking official. In our club, I’m the king. But since I’m an ordinary person, I’ll tolerate magic. Don’t worry.”

“….”

Usually, if you get hit by a frying pan, you’re not seriously injured, right?

Rumi tilted her head, but did not stop Lucy.

As Lucy said, the reporter who followed us here must also be at fault.

Squeak-

“Eight!”

“Kids. This is… huh?”

The door slowly opened, and Lucy slammed down the frying pan.

Ting!

“Aaaah!”

“…Lucy? What are you doing now?”

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon saw something approaching him, he instinctively unfolded his cotton guard shield.

The frying pan that was put down with its weight bounced lightly and Lucy, who lost her center of gravity, fell over, and Lee Ho-yeon blinked and looked at Lucy.

“Mr. Hoyeon! Gwae, are you okay?”

Rumi got up from his seat and approached Lee Ho-yeon, not caring that the card game was overturned.

“Calm down. Of course it’s okay because you didn’t get hit. Why is Lucy like this all of a sudden?”

“I… I’m sorry. Lucy got angry because she thought it was the reporter who followed us…”

“hmm….”

What does a reporter have to do with a frying pan?

Hoyeon Lee felt doubtful and extended his hand to Lucy.

“Lucy. Are you okay?”

“Ugh, it wasn’t Lee Ho-yeon’s magic power…what was it?”

“… That’s because it hides magical power.”

He used to be famous, but after the dungeon attack, he became so famous that he can’t just walk around.

As soon as I came out of the student council, a barrier was set up.

‘But how did Lucy notice me?’

Even though I was setting up a barrier, you noticed my presence.

It seems like your skills have improved tremendously.

“Why did you come to the club room while hiding your magic power?”

“I want to ask you that. I stopped by the student council and came here to at least clean out the club room. Why are you guys here?”

click-

Lee Ho-yeon, who had locked the door to the club room tightly just in case, approached the desk and asked the twins a question.

“Reporters invaded our dormitory as if we were the only ones safe. So we ran away.”

“aha….”

It seems that Lucy and Rumi have also become extremely famous after the dungeon attack.

Well, Lucy and Rumi are also heroes who saved the academy, so is it natural?

Lucy scratched the back of her head and held Hoyeon Lee’s hand.

“I was just playing a game, so it’s nice to come back. Let’s come in and do it together. I’ve already finished cleaning.”

“Yes. There’s a bed here, so you can sleep when you’re tired.”

“Then will it be just a little while?”

Ho-yeon Lee sat at a desk littered with board games, with both hands held by the twins.

“This is called Splatoon, and it’s about collecting land and gems? Three people will have more fun than two.”

“Lucy kept winning… Now Hoenn, please win!”

“Okay. Then tell me the rules.”

Even though we met suddenly, Lucy and Rumi still had something to say.

I also had to tell these two about the dungeon terror.

‘I guess I should find the opportunity to speak up.’

I’m not in the mood right now, so let’s play a board game for now.

*

About three hours later.

“Isn’t this such a fraudulent card? I have three nobles, so how can I lose!”

“But Rumi also beat me a lot with this… It’s cowardly to call it a fraud card only when you lose.”

“….”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about something serious, ended up enjoying the board game without realizing it.

Three hours passed while I was playing the game, swept up in the energy of Lucy and Rumi.

‘I think we need to talk about something soon.’

The reason Lucy and Rumi have to sleep in the club room is because Lee Ho-yeon created a fake dungeon magic circle.

In the end, he was responsible.

“Ahh. I lost again. Lee Ho-yeon, why are you so good!”

“I’m sorry. But if you combine Lucy and Rumi, you have a 50% win rate.”

“If there are three of you, you shouldn’t win half of the game. You have no manners.”

“Lucy, let’s play another game… We can win the joker draw.”

Watching Rumi pull out trump cards, I felt like if I didn’t stop now, I would be immersed in the game for several more hours.

Lee Ho-yeon is big. He cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

“Everyone is in good condition. You haven’t felt any pain since you left the dungeon, right?”

“Not at all? I actually felt good that Professor Lim Sol praised me.”

“That’s right. Ah, you asked me to bring Hoyeon to the lab to play. Please come with me next time.”

“Yes. I think I heard that. Let’s go together.”

“Okay, take one card each. We’re going to draw a joker.”

“Wait a minute, guys. Card games are great too, but just a minute.”

I held Lucy’s hand as she began to deal out cards.

Why does he like games so much?

“what’s the matter?”

“No, do you have any questions? About the dungeon… or something else.”

Anyone who sees it will probably think that Lee Ho-yeon has just come out of a dungeon.

Lucy and Rumi were obviously also in the dungeon, but they acted as if they had nothing to say to Lee Ho-yeon.

‘I’m sure you heard it all from inside.’

Lucy and Rumi probably know the same information that Moon Su-rin knows.

There’s something strange about not asking any questions.

Aren’t you curious about dungeons or magic circles?

“to….”

“Uhm….”

Lucy and Rumi looked at each other while holding the trump card and then smiled like idiots.

“Just… it’s okay if you tell me. Or not. That much?”

“Is there anything you’re curious about or want to ask?”

“Do I really have to be curious? I’m already really tired from all the reporters coming and asking questions.”

“…Not necessarily.”

“I just like playing games like now… and spending time with Rumi and you. Of course, I also like doing dirty things.”

“Lucy….”

Hoyeon Lee held Lucy’s hand tightly, holding a card.

Lucy has a debt of gratitude.

Because I hurt you when I couldn’t distinguish between the game and this world.

“I don’t want to have a bad conversation with Hoyeon either. Lucy and I feel the same way.”

“Yeah. I’m not really curious about the other women in the first place. We’ll all win later anyway.”

“That’s right. Because there are two of us!”

“… ah.”

My heart ached when I saw the two of them smiling brightly.

It is important to tell the truth to heroines and apologize.

In order to reflect on the wrong done to these women, of course we must reveal the truth and apologize, but is it really necessary to reveal the truth that makes them uncomfortable?

What action is right for them?

“And I think there’s something going on with Mr. Hoenn. Uh, um… whatever.”

“That’s right. There’s no way Lee Ho-yeon would do something bad. There’s no need to tell me the story behind it.”

Lucy and Rumi, who must have thought about Lee Ho-yeon’s quiet attitude, became even busier in their defense.

“Lucy. Rumi.”

“Yes.”

“yes….”

Ho-yeon Lee bowed his head, hugging Lucy and Rumi, who looked nervous, with one arm each.

“I like you. I really like you guys.”

“Hehe. I like it too.”

“Me too… Mr. Hoyeon.”

“I’m sorry for not taking care of you much these days. I’ll come visit more often from now on.”

“No, we were busy too.”

As I was hugging the cute twins on both sides, I kept feeling sorry, but I didn’t want to show myself as a loser when the twins said things like that.

“I remembered this while playing the dungeon, and I’ve become much stronger now. Even Professor Lim Sol acknowledged it. Lee Ho-yeon, if you have any difficulties, please tell us!”

“I’m still not much better than Hoyeon, but….”

Hoyeon Lee smiled and raised her head.

“No. Lucy and Rumi are similar to me in terms of firepower and defense respectively.”

“really?”

“Yes. Of course.”

Lee Ho-yeon slightly raised the corners of his mouth and continued speaking.

It wasn’t wrong at all.

Lucy’s firepower is incredibly strong.

Although it is less than Lee Ho-yeon’s maximum firepower, it is not enough to say that it is similar.

The same goes for Rumi. Her defense was strong enough to block Lucifer’s attacks.

‘Of course, it’s based on when I’m in the middle of a battle.’

If Lee Ho-yeon focuses on either attack or defense, comparison is impossible.

This means that the two together are similar to Lee Ho-yeon.

‘… for a moment. ‘Isn’t that just amazing?’

Lee Ho-yeon was now much stronger than in the original.

I was planning on putting Lucy and Rumi on the map, but if the two of them together are similar to me, that alone is praiseworthy.

“When I think about it, it seems even greater. When did you become so strong?”

“It’s because Mr. Hoyeon taught me magic.”

“Lee Ho-yeon’s class was definitely helpful.”

“Janghae, Janghae. Come here.”

It is Lee Ho-yeon’s duty to prevent the heroines from getting hurt, but the stronger they become, the safer they will be.

If you learn magic from Imsol, you will become stronger here.

“You gave me a compliment, so why are you like this all of a sudden?”

“Umm… Hoenn ssi.”

Hoyeon Lee rubbed her face against Lucy and Rumi’s soft cheeks and hugged them even stronger.
