Chapter 554 – Chapter 554. Club Room (3)

“Guys. Look at this. How is your sister’s hand?”
“Miss Liliana is amazing…”
“Rumi. Let’s do this next time. They say it’s a war of stars. Are Liliana unnie okay?”
“Of course! Lee Ho-yeon. Team up with me this time!”

It is quite a sight to see three pretty girls sitting down and playing a game of cards.
Being in the middle of it would be welcome, of course, for a man.
However, it is also fun for an hour or two. Seeing the Lucy Rumi twins and Liliana, who had already been immersed in the game for over five hours, Lee Ho-yeon lay down on her chair as if collapsing.

“… Guys, are you not going to the dormitory?”

It’s good to see you play well. But at best, I asked Moon Soo-rin and kicked out all the reporters, but they’re only playing games.
Through the window of the club room, you can see the sun slowly sinking.
I’ll be here until tomorrow morning.

“What is it? Why are you creating an atmosphere where you can end it on your own. Huh?”
“Liliana. I was there before you came.”

Lee Ho-yeon laughed at Liliana, who tapped her own chest like a bully.
If I had known it would be so exciting, I would have told you not to come.

“Ah… Hoyeon-san, are you tired? If Hoyeon-san is tired, it’s okay to stop.”

It hasn’t been long since they escaped from the fake dungeon, aren’t they tired?
A sad sigh flowed from Rumi’s mouth, but Lee Ho-yeon also needed a break.

“Hmm. To be honest, I’m a little tired.”
“Rumi. I’m tired too. I want to lie down and rest now.”
“If it’s up to Lucy, then I understand… Let’s rest now.”
“Ugh, it’s been a few hours.Haha.”

Lucy also yawned and stretched at the same time as Lee Ho-yeon said.
Her sister, Rumi, seemed to be having fun, so Lucy was also working hard, but she was also at her limit.

Nice. Lucy.
Lee Ho-yeon was relieved by Lucy’s support fire.

“Huh? So, are you disbanding now? I just came!”
“No, it’s been more than two hours since you came. Let’s take a break now. You fought Lucifer together. Aren’t you tired?”
“But it’s fun. Lee Ho-yeon, you won’t have anything to do anyway, so rest here with me. You can stop playing board games.”
“…That’s nice too, but I have to go around tomorrow. I have some things to organize at home.”

I was too lazy to go to Professor Imsol today because I was spending too much time.
It’s good to take a break in the club room, but you have to spend time alone and think about tomorrow’s schedule.

“Hoyeon, aren’t you tired? Where are you going tomorrow?”

Lucy tilted her head as she sorted out the cards she used.
Lee Ho-yeon wonders how long it has been since she escaped from the dungeon.

“I’m going to see Professor Im Sol. Did you guys hear that? I told you to come with me to the lab. I’ll go and ask.”
“Aha. I can’t help it if it’s like that.”

The memory of her using her magic with Im Sol is deeply embedded in Lucy’s mind.
Besides, visiting with Lee Ho-yeon. Maybe he wants to give you something big.
Lucy smiled pleasantly.

“Then you go first. I’ll be more surprised.”

Liliana closed her eyes as she lay in her chair as if she were to be.
It’s been a while since I’ve been out, but I couldn’t go home like this.

“Hey. Whoever wants to play more. Lucy and Rumi should rest too.”
“I’m fine, Mr. Hoyeon.”
“I want to lie down. Liliana sister. Stay if you don’t mind.”
“Hey! Guys. Then can unnie join this club too?”
“Liliana-san too…? But Liliana-san isn’t a cadet at Victoria Academy…”
“It’s okay, Rumi. You can make it an honorary member.”
“Honorary member? Is it like a member of the National Assembly?”

Lee Ho-yeon laughed as he watched the trio chatting.
When she hangs out with the twins, she definitely has a calming charm.
It’s good to see Liliana too, she plays better than expected.

“Then I’ll go. Don’t get hit and run.”
“Don’t worry. Few succubuses have as much control as I do.”
“Goodbye, Lee Ho-yeon. It was fun!”
“Hoyeon-san. See you next time…!”

Seeing Liliana smile, though she’s a little worried… Nothing strange will happen
If she ever does anything strange to her twins, she’ll come right back.
Lee Ho-yeon said goodbye and left the club room.

“… Suddenly it’s hard.”

As soon as she steps out of the club room, her strength drains all the way.
As soon as she escaped from the fake dungeon, she had to run for hours, and she was tired.
Her head spins as she thinks of going home.

“I have to go quickly and rest. I’m thinking about what to say to Professor Imsol and Ayoung. Um…”

The academy was empty. Everyone must be resting or receiving treatment.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t long before the battle with Lucifer ended.
No matter how monstrous her own healing power is, she’s going to need a good night’s sleep today.

Lee Ho-yeon headed home with her heavy steps.

*

“Uhehe. Come here.”

The club room where Lee Ho-yeon disappeared.
The succubus, who finally felt free after his master was gone, expressed his desires….

“Miss Liliana…”
“I told you to call her sister. Sister.”

Lucy was lying in bed tired from hours of gaming, while Liliana and Rumi were still at the table.

“If you don’t call me unnie, I won’t take it. Now, since Hoyeon isn’t here, try it once.”

The whisper of a succubus approaching like a whisper in my ear.
Looking at Liliana, who was on the verge of hugging her, Rumi answered quietly.

“… Liliana sister.”
“Whoops. Well done.”

Smack smack.

Liliana stroked Rumi’s hair as she blushed blushingly.
It’s a pity that Lee Ho-yeon’s magical powers went crazy even for these cute children, but I could understand her as a succubus.

Lucy, who is both grown-up and like a child, and Rumi, who is child-like and yet grown-up.
Who can match the pure charm of these twins?

“If you have any concerns, feel free to tell your sister.”
“Liliana sister. Listening to Rumi’s concerns is my role as a sister, so please don’t take it away.”

Lucy, who was lying in bed, stretched and returned to the table.
He felt that if he lay down any longer, he would lose his brother.

“Hmm… Miss Liliana. Actually, I’m worried.”
“Yeah. Tell me as much as you like. Her sister will take care of it.”
“It seems Hoyeon-san has something in her heart… I don’t know what to do with it.”
“Lee Ho-yeon? If you’re curious, shouldn’t you ask her directly? I don’t think she will tell you.”
“Ah… Uh. But when I try to listen, I get a little nervous… I want to hear it, but I also hate it…”
“…?”

What do you mean?
Unable to understand Rumi’s vague feelings of wanting to hear but not wanting to hear, Liliana tilted her head and suddenly remembered.

‘Right. I remembered.’

When he changed into her necklace and followed Lee Ho-yeon.
There were frustrating children who were seduced by Felix or something.
I didn’t know it well at the time, but I remembered it when I saw that sullen face.
Those were the twins Lucy and Rumi.

‘But what is Lee Ho-yeon keeping in her heart? … Oh!’

Shocking words I heard just a few hours ago!
It was a confession that Lee Ho-yeon was the designer of the magic circle that attacked the academy.
I’ve been feeling sick lately, so I’m sure that’s right.

‘I guess I didn’t tell these two.’

Liliana thought it would be best to tell everyone fairly…
It may come as a shock to these innocent children.
It might be better to hide it for now.
Besides, I wanted to respect Lee Ho-yeon’s doctor as much as possible.

Because he was his first master.

‘Maybe he doesn’t want to get hurt.’

Because they are such innocent children, their hearts can be weak.
Liliana continued, recalling the image she had seen of the two when Felix appeared.

“Then you want to hear from Lee Ho-yeon, but are you afraid to listen?”
“Yes…. I’m scared to be disappointed, and I’m scared to see Hoyeon-ssi be disappointed… Ugh…”
“Um…”

The senses of the succubus are howling.
Liliana grasped the situation by watching the movements of Lucy, who flinched this way, and Rumi, who flinched, pretending not to be interested.
Lee Ho-yeon showed the strange appearance he saw at home to these two, but he did not tell the truth to them, so this trouble arose.
I’d like to say something cool and resolve the situation, but alas, Liliana didn’t have that ability.

“Isn’t good good? I don’t know what’s difficult. But surprisingly, it might not be a big deal. Originally, Lee Ho-yeon worries about strange things. Hmmm.”

Liliana defended Lee Ho-yeon, speaking as best she could.
To be honest, Liliana didn’t feel Lee Ho-yeon’s fault at all.
According to Lee Ho-yeon, the magic circle that covered the academy was about to be dismantled, she said. She said at the last moment she felt guilty or something. It was robbed by Lucifer just before that.
Of course, Lee Ho-yeon seemed to think that it was his fault for providing the cause in the first place, but in the end, isn’t Lucifer the bad guy?

“Still, you all like Lee Ho-yeon, don’t you?”
“Yes. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything without Mr. Hoyeon.”
“… So am I. I can’t do without Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Don’t worry. Lee Ho-yeon is a weirdo, but he’s not a bad guy!”

Liliana nodded her head as she saw Lucy caressing her Rumi by her side.
It felt good to see her so infatuated with her own master, and envious to see her loved by those cute kids.

‘Lee Ho-yeon should do well. Eh.’

Fortunately, it seems that he has no intention of adding more women.
She also had a conscience for him.

“No, you already have no conscience. Ah. Come here. Sister will hug you. Heuk heuk.”
“Thank you, Liliana sister.”
“Miss Liliana… Thank you. Just listening to your concerns together gives me strength.”
“Huh? No, what. Hehe.”

Liliana smiled heheh as she stroked Lucy and Rumi with both hands.
She seems to have done it again herself.
It’s a shame to be too good.

*

“Kkeuheu. I wanted to take care of everything today. It’s a pity.”

As I lie in bed, I feel exhausted.
Still, after talking with the heroines today, I felt much more at ease.

“Yeah. No. Everyone needs some time to rest anyway.”

From day one, she may have acted too hastily.
Everyone must be tired, but it would be burdensome if he came in as soon as the battle with Lucifer was over.

“Tomorrow, Professor Lim Sol… I can go to Ah-yeong. I have to go see Alice too…”

Ah-yeong must be busy in many ways, and what is Professor Im Sol doing?
She needs to go to Ellis and Irene too, but since she hasn’t been contacted, she doesn’t know when to go.

She’s smart

“Yes. Come in.”

A careful knocking sound that is considerate of the person inside.
That alone lets you know who the person at the door is.

“Hoyeonah. I brought tea.”
“Thank you. Da-eun.”

Lee Ho-yeon sat on the bed and accepted the tea Nam Da-eun gave her.
Entering her room with her light smile on her face, she glanced at her and then quietly spoke her words.

“… You seem powerless.”

You’ve come to comfort me.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled involuntarily.
She felt Daeun Nam’s pure heart and was grateful.

“Thank you. Is Dahee sleeping?”
“I think I was in a safe place, but I think I was very surprised.”
“I’m glad.”

Dahee also took it out to a safe place when conceiving the magic circle.
Still, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Sniffling-.

‘What is this….’

There are so many strange things in the house, so I don’t even know what I’m drinking.
Lee Ho-yeon quietly sipped her tea.
It was Nam Da-eun who broke the silence that filled her room.

“Umm… I don’t know what to say to make Hoyeon feel better.”
“You don’t have to work hard. I have to make the effort.”
“Yeah, but Hoyeoni was thinking of getting rid of the magic circle. Lucifer robbed it… I don’t think Hoyeon did anything wrong.”
“If you say that, I’ll be more sorry.”
“… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I guess I’m not good at things like this.”

Nam Da-eun lowered her head with her sullen expression.
I wanted to comfort Lee Ho-yeon in my own way, but she felt depressed because it seemed to have backfired on her.

“No. But thank you for coming to comfort me. Da-eun.”

As Nam Da-eun said, she changed her mind at the very last moment.
But she got her first button wrong in the first place. Even if she says she’s good from now on, she’s already spilled the water, so she has to take responsibility for it herself.

“Ho, Ho Yeon-ah.”
“Yes?”

As if Lee Ho-yeon had made up her mind on something, she looked at Nam Da-eun, who approached her.
Nam Da-eun closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them, met Ho-yeon Lee’s eyes and awkwardly raised the corners of her mouth.

“Sah… I love you. Master….”
“…”

Time has stopped.
No, it felt that way.
Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes widened at Nam Da-eun’s sudden charm.

“Dae-eun, are you okay?”

Maybe I ate something wrong.
Lee Ho-yeon worriedly placed her hand on Nam Da-eun’s forehead.
No fever

“Uh, uh, isn’t this. Liliana-san said before that it was a secret technique that eased Hoyeon’s mood…”

As if Lee Ho-yeon’s reaction was uneasy, Nam Da-eun cautiously looked up at Lee Ho-yeon.
Liliana.
Hearing the name, he could instantly figure out the situation.
Lee Ho-yeon tried to grab the corner of her mouth as she raised her mouth, but she couldn’t help laughing when she saw Nam Da-eun turning her head anxiously like her lost dog.

“Kuh… Ah, I can’t stand it. Puch.”
“Why, why are you laughing? Did I do something wrong?”

It must be so hard to hold back laughter.
It feels like the tension that filled my body has been blown away.
Lee Ho-yeon hugged Nam Da-eun’s shoulders as she rolled her eyes.

“No. Thank you very much. It cheered me up.”
“… Really?”
“Yeah. It’s thanks to Daeun. I’ll try my best now.”
“Thank god….”

Phew. Looking at Nam Da-eun, who was sweeping away her heart, Lee Ho-yeon also smiled at her.
