swelter.

Wouldn’t this be the most appropriate word to describe the current weather? School, which had completely entered summer, was a place that gave me an uneasy feeling that could not be completely eliminated by simply turning on the air conditioner.

After all, in this class alone, there are about twenty students in one space. When this number of people gather together, complex problems arise that cannot be solved simply by lowering the temperature. It was said that each person’s body odor, sweat odor, and other environmental factors can combine to create a dog-like odor.

“Do I erase it.. Do I smell like sweat?”

“uh.”

“Hiiiit…! Mi, my dear…”

“What am I sorry about? It’s actually better.”

“?”

But for me, the sense of smell was no problem at all. These damn Lubco heroines seemed to be mixing seductive pheromones with their sweat, or they gave off a sweet scent that made you feel like they had applied honey.

Really, this was only possible because of Lubco. In reality, no matter how pretty an idol-level girl is, she smells when she sweats. On the contrary, there are many people who hide their shortcomings because they are pretty, and when they find out about those shortcomings, they are often very disappointed.

“I think I can have a good summer this year.”

“Ugh? Why?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Cee… That’s disgraceful, Jiwooni.”

The person who was supposed to be able to enjoy my summer was just puffing up his cheeks next to me.

Anyway, that’s it. As summer vacation was approaching, even after being possessed, I could feel that a lot of time had passed. In order to survive(?), I had to dodge the direct train to the juvenile detention center by squeezing in what I didn’t have, and it’s a new feeling to think that it’s already been half a year.

Am I doing well? Of course, this was not something I should say as I was involved in not only the three heroines of the original work but also the two DLC heroines(?). My life right now is truly full of variables. It feels like walking through the DMZ alone without a mine detector.

‘But for some reason, it doesn’t seem like I’m doing it.’

Although I really deviated from my initial goal, my mind was much more stable than when I was in the beginning of possession. I was very scared at the time, but after forming relationships with the heroines, I felt calmer.

Of course, it was a problem because the relationship seemed to be getting too close, but in fact, you had to wait to know whether that part would be a problem or not. In fact, Hong Seol, who sent Lee Ji-woon on the juvenile detention train in the original, now clings to me whenever she gets the chance.

In order for the story to flow, there had to be a certain level of probability and verisimilitude. In my current situation, for Hong Seol to send me to hell, I had no choice but to do something very wrong. This also applies to other DLC heroines, including Park Ha-eun and Oh Yoon-ah.

In other words, since I am in a relationship with them, I also have to feel responsible for it and be careful about my actions. So lately, I’ve been pushing away all the female students who approach me, and I’ve been trying to build good relationships with the heroines.

But in the end, the answer is unknown. Is the path I’m taking right or wrong? In a lonely vast sea where no one can tell me the right answer, I am moving forward alone in a boat.

Not knowing whether a storm would hit in a few hours or whether we would capsize on the reef and fall into the endless abyss. Just, alone.

“Ji-u-na, what are you thinking?”

“…I was just dazed.”

“What~ If you’re worried, I’ll help you! Since the homeroom teacher has arrived, let’s focus now. Huh?”

“Well, that should be it.”

In fact, he might not have been alone.

“Now, everyone, pay attention! Today is the last day of the first semester!! After the upcoming school vacation, everyone will be leaving school and spending some personal time. I don’t know if you’ve made any plans for then~”

Teacher Choi Da-in was greeting us with a bright face as usual.

But there was a strange feeling of disappointment on his face. She was also only a first-time teacher, so it felt like she was full of regret as she was about to go on vacation. Although he was happy because he got to rest during the school vacation, he seemed to feel more regretful about not being able to see the students.

As expected, Choi Da-in is a true teacher. A person with such sound work ethics deserved enough respect.

“Teacher! Aren’t you so sad that you can’t see us??”

“No, that’s not it… Actually, I missed out on the new cake that was released yesterday by one spot! I still remember that so stop…”

…Who did I say was worthy of respect? I hope that it will burn itself out in your memories.

Anyway, the vacation ceremony continued like that, and with the principal’s never-ending sermon, the real summer vacation began. This meant that the precious time to cut off one’s free pass to life for over a month had arrived.

“Erase it! Yeji wants to go to a new cafe, what are you going to do?”

“I just want to rest at home…”

“What? You want to rest??”

“I don’t want to. After all, it’s national rule to have fun on the first day of school. Let’s go right away.”

“Heeheehee…! As expected, it’s too tight to erase!!”

Of course, I will have to wait to see if I can use that free pass as I wish.

* * *

“Wow, I never thought I would visit all these dels during vacation.”

Even though it was still quite a distance from the place I wanted to go, the crowd heading there seemed to be more than expected. Most of them were students, including me, but there were also quite a few adults who came to guide or cheer them on.

“I think it’s more than last year. Should I stand and watch this year?”

“Did you come here last year too?”

“Student council is an authoritative position that can hold its own power, but usually no one wants to do it. Because the responsibility that comes with it is enormous.”

“You just say that you have a lot of work to do, but you really put it in a different way.”

The place we were going to was the stadium where the school’s official sports competition was starting. If there are this many crowds even though it is only the preliminary date, what kind of crowd will it be during the finals?

“There are actually fewer people in the finals. Because there is no need for students who fail in the preliminaries and those related to those students to come.”

“…Have I been talking to myself without even realizing it? I wish it were like that.”

“Hehe, it’s just that I’m quick-witted, so you can rest assured.”

It was clearly a narration in my mind, but my heart was pounding as it felt like it had been invaded. For a moment, I thought there was confusion about the number of quotation marks, but this time it seems Hong Seol was just too quick to notice.

Anyway, why am I heading to the preliminaries for the sports festival with student council member Hongseol? The purpose was not to help with student council work as usual, but this time it was an extremely personal meeting.

as soon as.

“Oh Yoon-ah, I don’t know if this guy is going to do well.”

This was because today was the day of the middle school track and field team’s preliminary tryouts.

Summer vacation had begun, but freedom still did not exist for students who entered the arts and physical education field. Sports competition during vacation and study again after vacation. I first proposed a meeting in the group chat room in hopes of providing a little support to Oh Yoon-ah, one of the students crossing this endless hell.

[Lee Ye-ji: I want to tag along too! It looks fun!!]

[Park Ha-eun: I think I’ll have time that day too! I want to go support Yoona too!!]

[Hongseol: It’s good that the number of members has increased. I have to go every year anyway, so it would be nice if we go together.]

[Choi Da-in: With so many students going, shouldn’t their guardians be left out?]

[Oh Yoon-ah: Everyone, thank you so much… ugh… (roughly impressed emoticon)]

Well, because we all showed our one accord, all six of us ended up meeting at the stadium.

First of all, I left with Hong Seol, who had a close home, and Park Ha-eun and Lee Ye-ji, who were still at school, said they would ride there with Choi Da-in.

Apart from Park Ha-eun, when I asked why Ye-ji Lee stays at school even during vacation, she said that she was doing extra activities at the fashion design club she heard about before. From what I heard, he said he was happy, so it seemed like he had found his calling.

Will we be able to see Lee Ye-ji wearing clothes she designed herself and uploading photos to Inbyeol in the future? Honestly, looking at her appearance, I thought she would be very popular because she had a unique personality and was even pretty. Just in case, I have a snobbish thought that maybe I should become even closer to Yeji Lee.

…By the way, if you think about it that way, isn’t the same thing true for Oh Yoon-ah? The return of the pretty track and field ace. If his skills continued to improve and his name became known or he was selected for a national team, he would also become quite famous.

It wasn’t an absurd idea at all; these were friends who belonged to the ranks of the strongest(?) in their own worldview. In the original ending of RUBCO, didn’t everyone reach the pinnacle of their specialty? Considering that, all four were national treasures with enormous potential.

What is Choi Da-in? Choi Da-in… um… if I were to really put it into words, would it be the position of Teacher Oh Eun-young that I talked about before? The first teacher who tamed the world’s Lee Ji-woon, or something like that.

“…What strange thoughts are you having, Ji-woon?”

“Please pretend not to notice, Sister Hongseol. Our secret.”

“Wasn’t our secret just that we were secretly dating?”

“After not seeing you for a few days, your imagination has improved a lot. Please don’t increase it further.”

Hong Seol’s creepy joke sent a chill down my spine. What happens if the day comes that I end up dating one of these people? It may have been my excessive self-consciousness, but another method of division that went beyond Lee/Intelligence/Luck might be born.

“Oh my, guys! It’s here, it’s here!!”

When I turned my head at the familiar voice, I saw Choi Da-in and the children coming in with a gasp. Park Ha-eun and Lee Ye-ji were in school uniform, probably because they came during club activities, but personally, I was a little disappointed that they were not in civilian clothes.

“Hehehe, I’m the only one wearing civilian clothes. Especially Jiwoon, you can watch as much as you want.”

“Seol-ah! Teachers are both in civilian clothes!?”

“The teacher always wears plain clothes, so this is out of the question. In fact, it might have been better if it was a school uniform.”

“…..Ah! Well, should you have dressed like that!?”

“Please don’t look like you’re genuinely worried, teacher…”

Among the students, Hong Seol was the only one wearing civilian clothes, and Choi Da In was worried that she would have gained more appeal if she had come in uniform. To be honest, that would have naturally touched my heart, but for the sake of Choi Da-in’s dignity, I did not say it out loud.

…Of course, if you happen to have a deeper relationship with Choi Da-in… it might be a good idea to try.

“Yeji… Jiwoon’s expression has become somewhat sinister…”

“What kind of wild imagination is this pervert?”

“Uh-huh, the kids don’t need to know.”

I started to enter the stadium, imagining what Choi Da-in would look like in her school uniform.
