Chapter 552 – Chapter 552. Club Room

The corner of the second floor of the club building.
Let’s play The desk in the club room was guarded by the twins.

“I’m glad they made a bed here. Rumi, right? You can sleep at night.”
“Yeah… I’m glad.”

It’s not long since the dungeon terror incident has ended.
Most of the academy cadets are resting in their dormitories or home.
The twins who battled with Lucifer needed a break even more, but the reason they are here is because many reporters flocked to the dormitory.

“How long do I have to stay here anyway? Will it all be gone tomorrow?”
“Maybe it will take a few days for the reporters to go… I think they are still hiding around the dormitory.”
“It’s really too much! There are so many other fights with Lucifer besides us, so why are they only coming to us?”
“Isn’t it because everyone else is busy…?”
“There’s no such thing. Ugh. I’m pissed off. This is an invasion of privacy.”

Thousands of people were caught up in the dungeon terrorism, but only a dozen heroes were able to solve the terror.
Among the heroes, only Lucy and Rumi live in the dormitory whose whereabouts are clearly revealed.
It was only natural that he would become a target for reporters seeking a scoop.

“Now, how about this! In this way, the nobles are mine.”
“Ah… I, what should I do then…”

In the end, they managed to get out of the dormitory and hide in the club room to pass the time with board games.

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

Lucy, who was spending time playing board games in the club room, sensed someone outside the door.
Putting her cards down for a moment, Lucy signaled to Rumi.

“Shhh. Rumi. There’s someone outside.”
“Eww. Really…?”

Lucy’s senses, which have become sharper these days, culminated in the battle with Lucifer.
In the first place, the talents of the heroines, the Lucy Lumi twins, are top notch.
It is only natural that your skills will improve once you have an opportunity.
His skills were such that even Im Sol praised him, so there is no doubt about it.

Shh.

Putting his finger to her lips, Lucy grabbed the frying pan from the corner of the club room and pressed him against the door.
It is a tool that Lucy used to practice cooking to improve her femininity.

“Lou, Lucy. What’s wrong?!”
“If you’ve come this far, you should be punished. I can’t stand it because I’m angry!”
“Isn’t it just a cadet passing by…?”
“It can’t be. If it weren’t for workaholics like the student council, there’s no way they’d be at the academy right now. They must be the reporters who followed us unconditionally.”
“Ah, anyway, if you’re going to tell the reporter…”
“A journalist is a high ranking official. In our club, I’m the king. But since I’m an ordinary person, I’ll put up with magic. Don’t worry.”
“…”

If you get hit by a normal frying pan, don’t you get seriously hurt?
Rumi tilted her head, but didn’t stop Lucy.
As Lucy said, there must be something wrong with the reporter who followed her all the way here.

Kiik-

“Eight!”
“Children. This is… Huh?”

The door slowly opened, and Lucy struck the frying pan.

Ting!

“Kyaaak!”
“… Lucy? What are you doing?”

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon saw something approaching her, she instinctively unleashed her shield, the cotton guard.
The frying pan that was loaded with her weight bounced lightly and Lucy lost her center of gravity and fell over.

“Hoyeon-san! Gwa, are you okay?”

Rumi jumped up from her seat, not caring that her card game was overturned, and she approached Hoyeon Lee.

“Calm down. Of course it’s okay because it didn’t hit. Why is Lucy suddenly like this?”
“That’s… I’m sorry. Lucy got mad because she thought it was the reporter who followed us…”
“Well….”

What does that have to do with reporters and frying pans?
Lee Ho-yeon felt suspicious and reached out his hand to Lucy.

“Lucy. Are you okay?”
“Ugh, it wasn’t Lee Ho-yeon’s magic… What is it?”
“… That’s because it’s hiding magic.”

Originally, it was famous, but after the dungeon terror, it became so famous that I can’t just walk around.
As soon as he came out of the student council, he opened a barrier.

‘But how did Lucy find out about me?’

You noticed my presence even though I was putting on a barrier.
It seems your skills have improved tremendously.

“Why did you hide your magic and come to the club room?”
“That’s what I want to ask. I stopped by the student council and came to clean up the club room. Why are you guys here?”

Click-

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

“There were reporters in the dormitory, as if we were the only ones who were easy going. So we ran away.”
“Aha….”

After the dungeon terror, Lucy and Rumi also seem to have become extremely famous.
Well, since Lucy and Rumi are also heroes who saved the academy, is it natural?
Lucy scratched the back of his head and held Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.

“I was just playing a game, so you’re welcome. Come back and let’s do it together. I’ve already finished cleaning.”
“Yes. There’s a bed here, so you can sleep when you’re tired.”
“Well, if so.”

Lee Ho-yeon sat down at a desk with board games spread out with both of his hands held by the twins.

“This is called Splantoon, and it’s about collecting land and gems? Three will be more fun than two.”
“Lucy kept winning…Now Mr. Hoyeon should win!”
“Yes. Okay. Then tell me the rules.”

Although they met unexpectedly, Lucy and Rumi also had something to say.
I had to tell the two of them about the dungeon terror.

‘I’ll have to take the opportunity to speak out.’

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

*

About three hours later.

“Isn’t this a very fraudulent card? How can I lose when I have 3 nobles!”
“But even Rumi won a lot against me with this… It’s cowardly to call it a fraudulent card only when you lose.”
“…”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was trying to talk about a serious story by taking advantage of the opportunity, unknowingly enjoyed the board game.
Three hours passed as I played the game, swept away by Lucy and Rumi’s energy.

‘Looks like we’ll have to talk about something soon.’

The reason why Lucy and Rumi have to sleep in the club room is because Lee Ho-yeon created a fake dungeon magic circle.
After all, he was to blame.

“Aaaaa. I lost again. Lee Ho-yeon, why are you so good at it!”
“Sorry. But if you combine Lucy and Rumi, the win rate is 50%.”
“You can’t win half the game with three people. You have no manners.”
“Lucy. Let’s play another game… We can win the joker draw.”

Juseom juseom Seeing Rumi pull out her trump card, it seemed that if she didn’t stop now, she would immerse herself in the game for several more hours.
Lee Ho-yeon is tall. She cleared her throat and spoke slowly.

“Everyone is in good condition. Haven’t you had any sore spots since you came out of the dungeon?”
“Not at all? Rather, I felt good because Professor Imsol praised me.”
“That’s right. Oh, he told me to take Hoyeon to the lab to play. Please go with me next time.”
“Yes. I think I heard that. Let’s go together.”
“Now, take one card at a time. I’m going to draw a joker.”
“Wait a minute. Guys. The card game is good too, but wait a minute.”

I grabbed Lucy’s hand as she began to deal cards.
Why does he like this game so much?

“What’s the matter?”
“No, don’t you have any questions about the dungeon… Or anything else?”

Anyone can see that Hoyeon Lee just came out of the dungeon.
Lucy and Rumi were obviously together in the dungeon, but they acted as if they had nothing to say to Lee Ho-yeon.

‘I must have heard everything inside.’

Lucy and Rumi must 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….”
“Um…”

Lucy and Rumi looked at each other while holding their trump cards and gave silly smiles.

“It’s good if you just… Tell me. Not otherwise. That much?”
“Is there anything you want to know or ask?”
“Do I have to be curious? I’m really tired because reporters come and ask questions.”
“… Not necessarily.”
“I just play games like now… I like spending time with Rumi and you. Of course, dirty things are good too.”
“Lucy….”

Lee Ho-yeon held Lucy’s hand tightly, holding her card together.
Lucy has a debt of heart.
Because it hurt me when I couldn’t tell the difference between the game and this world.

“I don’t want to talk badly with Hoyeon either. Lucy and I feel the same way.”
“Yeah. I’m not really curious about other girls in the first place. We’ll all win later anyway.”
“That’s right. There are two of us!”
“… Ah.”

Seeing the two smiling brightly made my heart throb.
It is important to tell the truth to the heroines and apologize.
In order to reflect on the wrong done to them, of course, you have to reveal the truth and apologize, but do you really have to reveal the truth that makes them uncomfortable?
What actions are right for them?

“And I think Hoenn-san has a problem too. Uh, um… Whatever.”
“That’s right. There’s no way Lee Ho-yeon would do anything bad.

Lucy and Rumi started defending themselves even more busily, wondering what they thought of Lee Ho-yeon’s attitude.

“Lucy. Rumi.”
“Yes.”
“Yep….”

Lee Ho-yeon hugged Lucy and Rumi, each with one arm, her nervous expression, and lowered her head.

“I like you. I really like you guys.”
“Hehe. I like it too.”
“Me too… Mr. Hoyeon.”
“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to take care of you lately. I’ll come over more often from now on.”
“No. We were busy too.”

She kept feeling apologetic as she hugged the cute twins on either side of her, but she didn’t want to look stupid when her twins said that.
Them

“I thought of it after playing the dungeon, but I’m very strong now. Professor Lim Sol also admitted it. Lee Ho-yeon, if you have any difficulties, tell us!”
“I still lack a lot compared to Mr. Hoyeon…”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled at her 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 raised the corner of her mouth slightly and continued her words.
It wasn’t entirely wrong.
Lucy’s firepower is strong enough to be ignorant.
It’s less than Lee Ho-yeon’s maximum firepower, but it’s not enough to say that it’s similar.
Same with Rumi. Her defense was strong enough to block Lucifer’s attacks.

‘Of course, the standard is when I’m in the middle of a battle.’

If Lee Ho-yeon focuses on either attack or defense, comparison itself is impossible.
It means that when the two are combined, they are similar to Lee Ho-yeon.

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

Lee Ho-yeon was now much stronger than her original character.
She was thinking of giving Lucy and Rumi a boost, but if the two of them together are similar to her, that alone is worthy of praise.

“Coming to think of it, it seems to be more amazing. When did you become so strong?”
“It’s because Mr. Hoyeon taught me magic.”
“Certainly Lee Ho-yeon’s class was very helpful.”
“Great job. Come here.”

It is Lee Ho-yeon’s duty to prevent the heroines from getting hurt, but the stronger they become, the safer they become.
If you learn magic from Imsol, you will become stronger here.

“Why are you suddenly like this while you complimented me?”
“Ummm… Mr. Hoenn.”

Lee Ho-yeon rubbed her face against Lucy and Rumi’s soft cheeks and hugged Lucy and Rumi even tighter.
