Chapter 259 – Chapter 259. Commemorative Party for Final Exams (15)
“Dae-eun. It’s been a while.”
Nam Da-eun turned around at the sound of her name being called.
Elise stood there with a business smile.
“… Hi.”
Da-eun Nam tilted her head when she saw Alice who had suddenly spoken to her.
It’s not an uncomfortable relationship with Alice. She’s grateful, if you have to ask.
Because she gave a hint to seduce Lee Ho-yeon with her body, she started a relationship with Lee Ho-yeon.
She’s a good friend, unless she makes the move to recruit her into the Iris Guild.
‘I have a clear memory of rejecting it the other day.’
But that is already over.
To be honest, unless she was recruited into the Iris Guild, she had no reason for Elise to speak to her first.
Nam Da-eun looked at Alice with her questioning eyes.
A warm smile.
She is a different side of herself that she shows only to herself.
This appearance was also quite a burden to Nam Da-eun.
Daeun Nam knows better than anyone else that no one is as trustworthy as someone who hides what she sees.
“What are you doing?”
Alice smiled and continued.
She was so full of smiles that people who didn’t know her would say she was pretty because she smiled.
“I’m just running around.”
“Hmm, who’s the person next to you? I think I’m seeing this for the first time.”
Alice asked what she wanted to ask right away.
“… Friend.”
“A Victorian Academy cadet?”
“Yes.”
“Really? It’s strange. I’m memorizing all the faces of the cadets.”
Alice was confident that she would refute Nam Da-eun’s excuses, so she continued her words in a strange way.
“There’s a cadet I don’t know.”
Then she tilted her head and looked straight at Liliana.
At this point, even Liliana would notice her.
That the other side has a purpose for itself.
Liliana slipped her arm holding her chicken skewers down and looked at Nam Da-eun.
‘Uh, what should I do?!’
Even Liliana, a follicle at home, she had nothing to do outside.
I was just looking at Nam Da-eun.
Nam Da-eun also knew that, so she came up with an excuse to somehow escape the situation.
“Sorry, I’m not actually a cadet, I’m a friend. I know I shouldn’t bring him from outside, but I just brought him.”
Since the final exam commemoration party is an event for cadets, outsiders are prohibited from entering.
But even if she gets caught, she doesn’t face much punishment. Especially if you are an honor student like Nam Da-eun.
Of course, it’s a very dangerous thing in terms of security, but in fact, that doesn’t happen very often in reality.
That’s why it’s a hesitant atmosphere.
Because you can’t just scold future talent for something like this.
It will probably receive only light attention.
“Really? It’s amazing. How did she become friends with Lee Ho-yeon’s housemate?”
Of course, Alice had no intention of going over like that.
“…”
Looking at Ellis, who was still grinning, Nam Da-eun pondered over what to say.
‘You knew everything’
She was taken aback by the sudden situation, but Nam Da-eun did not break her expression.
Acting like this wasn’t difficult.
Because she has been doing it since childhood.
One thing’s for sure, everything about Liliana must be kept secret.
I don’t know how Alice found out, but she can’t admit it.
I had to come up with an excuse that somehow made sense and let this situation go.
Once you hide Liliana, Lee Ho-yeon, Rebecca, and Scarlett will solve it.
Of course, Alice was one step above Nam Da-eun.
Despite her acting, Nam Da-eun noticed that she was taken aback.
So, I was able to wait patiently.
Meanwhile, Nam Da-eun continued to ponder.
‘I have to hide Mr. Liliana.’
She has to pass the situation leisurely and gently, but Nam Da-eun did not know how to talk like that.
She had no opportunity and no time to learn.
Her expression was simple.
Or not to say
Say what you want to say as concisely and directly as possible.
Fortunately, Nam Da-eun had a unique way of speaking, but she was not blind.
It was because she had been under the buyer’s guild for a long time.
‘Why is he talking to me like this?’
Nam Da-eun regained her composure and quickly put her thoughts together.
If Alice wanted to take issue with Lee Ho-yeon’s roommate, Liliana, she wouldn’t come this way, she would have taken her action right away.
If she didn’t do that and came this way first, she’s got what she wants.
Nam Da-eun, who understood the situation, relaxed a little.
“Ellis.”
“Yes. Da-eun.”
“What do you want to say, tell me clearly. Can’t I be close to Ho-yeon’s housemate?”
Just like Nam Da-eun, she asked what she was curious about.
After hearing the question, Alice was taken aback.
‘What I want to say… ?’
Why did you talk to Nam Da-eun?
She was seen getting along with Lee Ho-yeon’s housemate.
Why is that a problem?
If Nam Da-eun gets along with Lee Ho-yeon’s cohabitant, what kind of trouble will happen to me?
Anyway, I have no intention of accusing Lee Ho-yeon of whether or not she has a partner.
Because Lee Ho-yeon is also in a contractual relationship with himself.
It is also the only precious masseuse in the world who can treat her own ailments.
She has no intention of harming such a person.
Alice perfectly understood that if Lee Ho-yeon harmed her, she would harm herself as well.
‘Why did I act like this?’
You were hasty.
It was only then that Alice felt belated regret.
She should have been a little calmer.
She could investigate more efficiently than this way.
Using Sebastian to properly investigate the relationship between Lee Ho-yeon and her partner, and even investigating the relationship between her partner and Nam Da-eun, was a more efficient method.
If ‘information’ was really the purpose, I should have acted like this.
But why not.
If you do… Because she can’t release this stuffy feeling that is filling her chest right now.
No one even knows Lee Ho-yeon’s housemate at the academy.
I don’t know what method she uses, but she’s managed to stay undetected until now.
However, such a secret housemate is getting along with Nam Da-eun.
Nam Da-eun received help from Lee Ho-yeon.
It is understandable until there is love. But why can she be so friendly with her housemate?
Nam Da-eun was not taken aback by Alice’s expression that she was Lee Ho-yeon’s cohabitant.
Rather, she looked at Alice as if in surprise.
It was the gaze that said how to know that.
Then it means she already knows everything.
If Lee Ho-yeon and Nam Da-eun are not close, Nam Da-eun cannot know the existence of her partner.
If it is a close relationship, it will be difficult to allow it even if you know the existence of a partner.
However, the two were friendly.
The reason why two people who couldn’t be friends at all became friends.
I was so curious about that.
What kind of relationship did they build so they are laughing hahahoho like that?
Of course, there is a hypothesis that Nam Da-eun does not have a single crush on Lee Ho-yeon, and that she became close after continuing her relationship through a simple business relationship, whether or not she had a partner….
She looked at Nam Da-eun’s eyes and decided that it wasn’t.
Because they had a deep trust beyond a simple business relationship.
And with all these questions implied, there was only one question that could be asked.
Alice looked straight into Nam Da-eun’s eyes.
“What’s your relationship with Lee Ho-yeon?”
At some point, Elise’s sales smile broke.
Seeing Ellis biting her lip as if she was a bit resentful, Nam Da-eun, who was expressionless, raised the corner of her mouth without realizing it.
I seemed to know now.
Alice didn’t mean to ask for anything.
The emotion in that expression.
She knew from her own experience.
It’s not easy for her to admit her feelings.
Nam Da-eun herself, who has Lee Ho-yeon’s grace, took quite a while.
Alice, with her ego, would never admit to her.
Nam Da-eun also confidently observed Alice.
Alice’s eyes were trembling, albeit slightly.
It was as if she was afraid of what was to come next.
Sensing this, Nam Da-eun slowly opened her mouth.
“…My precious person.”
It was the smile of a victor.
*
“Ugh, I knew it would be like this… Even if you only do it once.”
After I got out of the bathroom with a barrier, Lucy and I slowly went back to Rumi.
Lucy was still blushing, as if embarrassed.
“It’s okay because she hasn’t been caught by anyone.”
“That’s not the problem… Ha ha. Okay. Let’s go to Rumi quickly.”
“Yes.”
Actually, quite some time has passed.
I decided to do it just once, but it wasn’t easy.
Still, she exercised her patience and only did it twice.
She quickly returned to the tent, and whether to say that she didn’t pay too much attention to her surroundings or to say that she was lucky, Rumi was even eating popcorn while looking at her monitor.
I think he didn’t even know we were gone.
Lucy, who was worried that she would feel sorry for Rumi who was left alone, approached Rumi as if she was dumbfounded.
“Rumi, let’s go soon. We don’t have time.”
“Ah, ah. Hey. In just a little while, an impressive live…”
“Rumi, you can watch that at home. I’m playing with Lee Ho-yeon right now.”
“Suck! No, that’s right. I’m sorry. Mr. Hoenn…”
Rumi opened her eyes wide at Lucy’s words and lowered her head, saying she was sorry.
I really didn’t know he and Lucy disappeared.
“… No it’s okay.”
We left the otaku tent and headed elsewhere.
At the beginning of the ceremony, people who had gathered in the central fountain, not knowing where to find the fun, scattered a lot in search of their favorite places.
Thanks to that, we were able to move a little more comfortably.
“Uh, evil! Evil! I can’t stand it! I’ll do it until I pull it out!”
This time, it’s a problem because Lucy is blind.
The gist of the case is as follows.
They entered a tent full of claw machines, and Lucy got stuck in one of them.
It was a cute purple girl doll with a yellow hairpin attached to it.
“Lucy, you did it the other day and it took an hour.”
“It’s different this time. Because I have experience, I can pick it up right away.”
Lucy started kicking her claw machine.
“Lu, Lucy… You can’t wear that. The seniors here will be angry…”
“Ughhhhh… Annoying. Annoying.”
Lucy put money into the machine again.
You can just buy it online with that money.
It was there last time and it is there again.
I’ll pick it up in 30 minutes though.
She was also tired.
I was about to sit down and watch the claw machine and wait leisurely, but Rumi, who was standing next to me, gently pulled my arm.
Ruby’s eyes were shining brightly.
As if expecting something.
“…”
I took Lucy, but Rumi is asking for it herself.
Rumi was already talking with her eyes. She’s running out of time. Let’s go quickly.
I whispered carefully into Rumi’s ear, looking at Lucy’s gaze.
“Rumi, Lucy is…”
“Well, the last time Lucy was concentrating like that for 30 minutes… Just 30 minutes…”
“… Okay. Let’s go.”
Well, it’s because doing only Lucy isn’t balanced.
I quietly left the tent, watching Lucy preoccupied with the claw machine.
‘Since they’re twins, that part is similar.’
Rumi is an animation, but Lucy is a doll maker.
Behind me, Rumi, who was holding her toes, was also following.
After Rumi and Lee Ho-yeon left the tent.
Lucy looked back.
I thought the voices I heard had diminished, but the two had disappeared.
“… A pervert.”
As soon as they were gone, Lucy stretched herself and took her eyes off the claw machine.
Because I didn’t have to play anymore.
Earlier, Rumi was really into animation, but Lucy was acting.
She herself wants to hang out with Lee Ho-yeon like a chimney, but it’s not fair for her to spend her time with Lee Ho-yeon alone.
‘Because I’m an older sister.’
The only one who has to take care of Rumi, her younger brother, is herself.
If that pervert doesn’t take care of me, I have to take care of the country too.
‘I think it will take about 30 minutes.’
If Lee Ho-yeon has any conscience left, she will come back soon.
Lucy, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to start pulling out the purple girl doll again.
“Hey, you’re in first grade? Do you want to play with us if you have time?”
Then, watching Lucy who was alone, the seniors approached her.
When they see a pretty woman, they are men who immediately look at them.
“No.”
Pp pp pp pp-
Lucy didn’t even turn her head and focused on her mechanics.
“Don’t do that… Brother.”
“Oh, why can’t I catch this!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lucy kicked the claw machine with various emotions.
With a simple kick that contained no magic power, the doll machine began to bend.
The sophomores who saw that blinked their eyes and looked at each other.
“… Hey. Hey. Let’s go.”
“… Yes.”
The bumbling second graders backtracked and disappeared, and Lucy continued to focus on the purple girl.
