Chapter 204 – Episode 204. Academy (2)
After class.
Lucy and Rumi disappeared somewhere while shooting guns.
‘I think I went to the club room.’
How did you know, I was going that way too.
I headed toward the club building to go to the student council, and Lucy and Rumi were walking in front of me, giggling at each other.
Lucy and Rumi told me to look forward to it, so I hid behind so I wouldn’t run into them and walked away.
After confirming that the two entered the building, I sent a message on my smart watch.
– Me: Surin older sister. I’ll stop by the student council to commemorate my discharge.
I’m thinking of going to the student council after a long time.
After all, I belong to the public relations department of the student council.
Of course, I haven’t been active lately… But I can’t help it.
The publicity department itself is an organization that Moon Su-rin created to attract me to the student council.
Both me and Moon Soo-rin have a lot of work these days, so there must be a proper activity.
Anyway, I came into the club building after a long time.
“It’s awkward.”
I was curious about what Lucy and Rumi were doing in the club room, but since I was guessing, I left them alone and headed for the elevator.
The student council room is located on the 17th floor, the top floor of the club building.
The elevator moved with a whooping sound.
A student council with an ass like me, even thinking about it now makes me very emotional.
– Ding-dong. It is on the 17th floor.
Charleuk-
The elevator door opened, and I could see facilities such as the student council room, president’s room, and lounge.
It was like a corporate office.
‘Does anyone know where?’
I got out of the elevator and was turning my head around, when a female member of staff who was working while watching the hologram monitor met my eyes.
“Huh? It’s a junior!”
“Huh? What are you talking about… Huh? Really.”
When I first joined the student council, some seniors I became close with recognized me and approached me.
“It’s been a while. I heard it to commemorate my discharge.”
“It’s okay. Our juniors became famous in an instant, so pretending to be close is a bit awkward.”
“Is not it…?”
“Still, we’re seniors in the student council, so shouldn’t we be comfortable with each other?”
“Then you try first.”
“… I won’t.”
The seniors looked at each other and scratched their heads.
Well, I’ve become quite famous in the meantime.
‘The conversation won’t progress like this.’
I smiled and continued.
“Haha… Where is the chairman? I want to say hello.”
I know they are good people.
But Moon Soo-rin is more important.
Sorry. Everyone.
“The chairman is in the chairman’s office right now. He must be at work, are you okay?”
“Hoyeon junior came, wouldn’t it be okay? Knock and go in.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you.”
I bowed my head to the kind seniors.
The seniors waved their hands roughly as if they were busy, then went back to their seats and tapped on the keyboard.
Smart-
“Chairman. I’m here.”
There is no answer.
‘I said it was inside.’
I put my ears on the door and focused my magic.
Then, little by little, I could hear the sound coming from inside.
Crunchy square-
“Bad bastard… Shin Dong-min, you bastard… If you run away, what are you going to do?”
Crunchy square-
I shuddered at the sound of swearing from inside.
“…”
Surin noona’s voice is so scary.
Looking back, the seniors were also concentrating on their work.
It was an atmosphere that was hard to interrupt, staring at the monitor until my eyes were blinded and tapping the keyboard in a combative way.
Why are you doing that… Ah. I get it.
‘I heard that there weren’t many people, so it seems they all ran away.’
Not long ago, articles about vice-president Shin Dong-min broke out at the initiative of Moon Su-rin.
Since he was the vice president of the student council, he quickly cut losses at the academy to manage his image, and as a result, all the vice president’s gang disappeared from the student council.
“Well, it would be difficult if about half of them suddenly disappeared.”
Somehow, the seniors’ eyes were a bit dead.
‘Well….’
But no matter how busy you are, you can’t keep doing this.
I knocked on the door again.
Smart-
But again, there was no response.
“… Sister. I’ll just go in?”
As she gently turned the doorknob, the door opened, revealing Munsu-rin’s face frowning while holding her pen.
I hope you won’t be scolded by this…?
Moon Soo-rin was engrossed in her work without even knowing the door was open, and I quietly approached behind it.
I could see the crown of my head covered by flowing platinum hair.
The voluptuous body trying to get out of the neat cadet uniform drew my attention.
We arrived right behind Munsurin.
It was a distance where they could feel each other’s breathing, but Munsurin’s eyes were still fixed on the paperwork.
At this point, you should have noticed… But seeing that you haven’t noticed yet, you must be under a lot of stress.
“신동민 개새끼… 나쁜 새끼… 이 씨ㅂ….”
“Sister. I’m here.”
“Kyaaaaagh!”
I thought that if I continued to leave it alone, I would get more swearing at it, so I quickly hung up.
As he spoke to her, placing her hand on her shoulder, Munsoo Rin let out her strange voice and shrank her body.
At the same time, the papers on her desk began to float by telekinesis.
This is going to be a big deal.
“Uh… Older sister. It’s me. Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Kiyaa… Huh? Ho, Hoyeonah. When did you come?”
“I knocked, but there was no answer… So I just came in. I’m sorry if I was surprised.”
“No. Yes. I’m not surprised at all.”
The papers floating in the sky were neatly organized and fell on the desk as if to say, ‘I originally intended to organize it like this.’
“You came to say you were discharged. You should have contacted me in advance.”
“I left a message, but there was no reply.”
“… Sorry. I’ve been too busy.”
Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, it’s definitely like that.
“Ah. It’s okay. How’s your sister?”
“Yeah. I waited for the day you were discharged. I made a reservation for flavor party.”
“Ahaha… That’s okay anytime.”
While chatting with Munsoo-rin about her, he asked how she was doing.
Today, in the middle of a natural conversation, you should get a hint about the strategy.
“Are there any difficulties these days?”
“Like what?”
“Well….”
The culprit of the stalking incident has disappeared, but Moon Su-rin’s psychology may be the same.
I’m sure you’ve verbally expressed your objection to stalking in the past.
Of course, she said something that seemed to deny it… But it’s worth taking a stab at.
“I’m under a lot of stress these days because of reporters. Reporters flock to me whenever I do something… I’m hiding even when I’m discharged. What about my sister?”
“…Well. I’m used to it. Being a celebrity.”
“…”
I’m sorry, but I can’t get used to it.
What if the heroine who is attacked by the stalker incident adapts to it?
“… I can roughly understand how they feel. Like being a fan.”
“Yes?”
“Nothing.”
No matter how you look at it, it’s nothing.
★ Heroine Status Window
[Moon Soo-rin]
– [ Likeability : 88 ]
– [ Sex drive : 50 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue: 73 ]
Current status: I’m sorry, Hoyeonah…
‘No, what the hell.’
Why are you sorry for me sister.
And why does the affinity keep rising?
What should I do if I am attacked alone like that?
I looked at Munsu-rin with a frustrated heart, but Munsu-rin avoided my gaze and opened her mouth.
“Big… Anyway, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
What can I say about the side face of Munsu Rin, who continued her words.
It seemed like he was apologizing to me.

“Ha….”
After Lee Ho-yeon left, Moon Su-rin sighed in the empty student council room.
Because she knew he was stressed out by the paparazzi.
From Lee Ho-yeon’s point of view, she was trying to think of Munsu-rin, but Munsu-rin, who did not know that, had no choice but to take it seriously.
Because she herself once had a hard time with it.
“I’m sorry Hoyeon-ah…”
What he did because he liked it was making it difficult for him.
Moon Su-rin started the smartwatch and started erasing the pictures.
Photo saved from the news featuring Lee Ho-yeon.
Photos taken by paparazzi and sasaengs.
After deleting all the saved photos, Moon Soo-rin also looked at the recorded files.
“…”
If you delete this, nothing will remain on your smart watch.
All traces of Lee Ho-yeon are erased.
“I wonder if the voice will be okay…”
Moon Su-rin couldn’t even erase this. No, he didn’t want to erase it.
It was because I felt more detached from Lee Ho-yeon, whom I couldn’t easily meet.
“Yes. Because Hoyeoni doesn’t know about this…”
I don’t know, but how can I be stressed?
This is innocent
Moon Soo-rin reproduced Lee Ho-yeon’s voice.
– Sister Surin. Love you.
At the same time, he buried his guilt in his chest and slowly closed his eyes.
*
“It’s hard…”
My head ached as to how to attack Munsurin.
At first, it was just good because it was attacked automatically… But now I know how to attack the heroine.
When the affinity rises to 99, each heroine must take a specific action to attack.
This is because the favorability rises to 100 and becomes a complete attack.
So, it doesn’t mean much just to have a good impression.
Rather, it can make it harder to find certain actions.
“I have to meet Professor Im Sol first.”
I made an appointment with Moon Soo-rin to eat on the weekend.
It would be nice to have a slow conversation when you have a lot of time.
“Welcome. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”
Her thoughts about Munsoo Rin paused.
Because she arrived at the Madokan where Im Sol is.
“I’m visiting Professor Im Sol’s lab on the second floor.”
After getting permission from the receptionist in the lobby, I took the elevator up to the second floor.
Professor Im Sol’s lab was as messy as always.
After passing through the traces of the experiment placed here and there, I went inside and saw Im Sol frowning at the magic circle.
‘Everyone is very busy.’
If you come to see me, I’m working.
“Professor. I’m here.”
“Yeah, you’re welcome. I needed you.”
Professor Im Sol greeted me without taking her eyes off her magic circle.
“What is that? A magic circle?”
“Right. It’s the end of the study, but I don’t know what to do with this.”
I sneakily looked at the magic circle Professor Im Sol was looking at.
“Well….”
“What’s the matter?”
Professor Im Sol’s research subject is the core technique of magic.
The goal of the research is to enhance the power of magic by strengthening the core techniques contained in the magic circle.
Of course, there are many other uses, but that is typical.
The magic circle that Im Sol sees now is the magic circle we named ‘Irregular Magic Circle’.
Unlike magic circles where the core techniques are determined according to special rules, it is a magic circle where the core techniques are determined irregularly.
There are few of them among the magic, and they are as difficult and complicated as they are, but… I don’t think Im Sol would be so worried about that?
‘Ah… I see.’
“Professor, were you wondering how to explain this to others?”
“… How did you know?”
Imsol asked me back with quite a surprised look.
Actually it wasn’t difficult.
When I talk to Imsol, I just need to speak one level higher than I think.
So most of it was right.
“If you pretend, you pretend. Who’s your student? Let’s have a cup of coffee together for a while. After that, I’ll see you too.”
“… Hmm, then I guess.”
Im Sol, who was frowning, sat down in front of me with a slight smile.
