Chapter 39:


    <strong>Lucys Strategy Route (2)</strong>


    After Wednesday sses ended, I came to meet Professor Im Sol.


    We had be the type to <em>get in touch</em> with each other when needed. It wasnt something either of us decided, but it feltfortable that way. I often had my own work to do, and I assumed she had her own research as well.


    Hey, you came. Im in the middle of something crucial, so just wait a moment.


    Professor Im Sol was maintaining a strange magic circle with one hand while inputting the magic circle into a hologram device with the other.


    *Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!*


    Weird noises and smoke starteding out of the machine.


    Aww, it failed again


    She dispersed the magic circle with a flick of her hand, then finally looked at me and said, So, why did youe today? Oh, should I suck you off first?


    She used to get all flustered hearing the word boobs, but now Shes really a genius at adapting to anything.


    When she acts all nonchnt like this, I wonder whats up with my sudden drop in libido. Perhaps Im just fickle?


    Without waiting for my answer, Professor Im Sol took off her robe.


    Just a sec, Professor. I didnte here today for research.


    Wait, my jawhuh?


    Im Sol made a puzzled sound while making an Oh-Ah face, as she loosened her jaw.


    Can you do something with thismunication bead?


    Its thatmunication device Felix gave me, the one that could only receive.


    Oh, its amunication bead, right? Looks like its got a one-way receiving magic on it, so it wont send anything. And its disposable. Whyd you bring this cheap thing?


    This woman, she doesnt even need Equipment Status Window to figure out the magic on the bead in a snap. Its impressive, and a little scary.


    Yee, thismunication bead is linked to a transmitting bead. Can you trace it?


    Trace? I can do that, but whats your n?


    Uh, its a bit hard to exin, but its not for anything sketchy.


    Hmm, youre not a bad kid And this is just a shoddy magical tool, so its an easy task.


    Great! Can you do it, professor? Its kinda urgent.


    Its way more urgent than getting a fetio from her.


    Lucys entering a dangerous phase now. The n was Felix to kidnap her, and he would send me the coordinates. But now I realize theres no guarantee that he will contact me.


    In the game, coordinates would be sent for the sake of moving the story along, but this is real life. I have to be prepared for anything. Actually, I shouldve thought about this sooner, but the weekend was crazy with the subus shenanigans.


    Ugh, youre the only one using me for some lousy magic job, you know?


    Im sorry. Ill show you something interesting if you help me with this.


    Alright, alright. Ill make an exception this time. Just wait a moment; Ill handle it quick.


    Seeing Professor Im Sol looking a bit bummed that shes using her high-end skills for this, I tried to cheer her up.


    Maybe showing her some new magic or a different way of using it would make her happy. Shed probably love it if I showed her how I managed to instantly construct a magic circle yesterday.


    Soon, Professor Im Sol put themunication bead on her research desk and started working on the magic circles. While I was admiring them, a voice popped into my head.


    [Wow, is that person even human? She can use magic like that?]


    Shes is a genius, too.


    I whispered, still gazing at the magic circles. In the game setting, shes a worldwide genius, so its not surprising that Lillianas amazed.


    [But whats your rtionship with her? Why does she have to loosen her jaw when researching with you?]


    I couldnt say anything in response.


    ***


    Professor Im Sol quickly examined themunication bead. She set up a magic that would continue to mark the transmitting beads coordinates, even if they werent marked on the other end, and it would notify me if the transmitting bead was destroyed.


    I then showed her how to instantly activate a magic circle for barrier I had recently learned.


    At first, she kept repeating Huh? Huh? Huh?! Then, she fell deep in thought and finally eximed, Eureka! She hugged me, saying how I always came through and helped her out.


    After her breakthrough, she insisted that I should receive some fetio aspensation. So, yeah, I had no choice. Im the protagonist, and my libido apparently has a life of its own.


    [Perverted creep. Disgusting degenerate. Scumbag contractor. Lecherous man.]


    But Lilliana doesnt know that, so I guess Ill graciously pardon her for pping thosebels on me.


    You dont get it, but she was the one who tempted me first, you know? And this is a revolution for freedom, so I wont be treated unfairly.


    [Lee Hoyeon, the sick pervert who views women as mere tools for his sexual pleasure. A scheming criminal who preys on a naive mage who knows nothing but magic research, exploiting her for his own disgusting fantasies.]


    Cut it out already!


    [What kind of horny bastard demands a blowjob as payment for helping with research?]


    Woman, youre a subus. Figure out what to do when your contractor is in heat.


    Am I the one whos at fault? Did I do something wrong again?


    [Youre dead if you dare ask me to do that. Its not going to happen]


    Yes, yes. Im not interested.


    Well, actually, I am interested Would it work if I said I retract my previous statement right now? Probably not.


    [So, whats thatmunication bead for?]


    Its just when the rm goes off, it means I have to go fight a demon.


    [What nonsense are you talking about?]


    Well, its a bitplicated to exin.


    I exined everything to Lilliana, the story of Lucy, her twin sister Lumi, and the demon Felix in detail.


    [Human, I just cant understand you. Cant you just kick the demons ass and be done with it? Why do youplicate things like this?]


    I need to do so in order to conquer Lucy.


    [What do you mean?]


    If I had to exin that, Id have to start with me getting transported to this world, so as soon as I arrived at the dormitory, I cut off the conversation and went into my room.


    *Poof!*


    Lilliana also returned to her original form.


    My eyes instinctively wandered to her F-cup breasts, but she red at me as if she could rip me apart, so I looked away.


    Im the contractor, dammit!


    Im gonna go do some streaming. See ya.


    She ended the conversation with a hint of not wanting to talk about it further, and she seemed a little upset.


    Damn subus.


    How did it end up that all the women around me know that if theyre pretty, Ill let them do whatever they want?


    Thats the truth of life.


    Lets check out EveryDay, its been a while.


    EveryDay is amunity website used by students at Victoria Academy. You can find everything there, from issues happening at the academy to news rted to talented individuals.


    The most recent post caught my attention.


    [Sexy Subus Live Stream on]


    Gather round, everyone~! Lets go watch noonas stream!


    Lillianas poprity is slowly but surely rising. Looks like I underestimated the power of a subus.


    Shes a Victoria Academy student during the day and a sexy subus cosyer at night, and now its almost bemon knowledge. Her allure has reached not only the academy students but also the general public.


    Shes getting popr. Should I try streaming and being a campus celebrity too?


    It might work out, but I dont have the time for that, unfortunately.

    Its like a magazine photoshoot The poprity is exploding, and theres even talk about making a video next.


    What nonsense is this guy spreading? But I have to admit, the photos turned out quite well.


    When is the next activity I wonder? It pricks my conscience that I just hold a position in the student council without doing anything else.


    As I was flipping through the photos, I returned to the main screen. I saw the most trending posts in real-time.


    [Student Council President Moon Soorin Spotted on a Date?!]


    Whats this now?


    Unable to resist the clickbait title, I immediately clicked on the post. Inside were pictures of Moon Soorin having a meal with a man.


    Oh, its the Vice President.


    The post revolved around these amusing rumors of a supposed fling between the president and vice president, even suggesting it to be a calcted union of influential families. But in reality, theres nothing between Moon Soorin and the vice president. There never will be.


    Because the vice president is just soooo much less attractive than yours truly, the protagonist. Game over.


    Paparazzi are starting to follow Moon Surin more often. As the situation gets worse, shell be more emotionally drained. On top of that, dealing with stalkers and reaching the peak, I should take care of her before things escte.


    I decided to visit the EveryDaymunitys club promotion board onest time. When I searched for Friendship Club, the promotion post appeared.


    Finally, its up.


    The club president, whose name I dont even want to remember, tried to hide the Friendship Club from the system to spite me. So, even if I posted promotions, they wouldnt show up, and the club wouldnt appear in the schools list of clubs. With that, there was no chance of new members joining.


    After that incident, I went to the club office every day to argue with him, and finally, it seems to have been resolved today.


    d it took less than a week.


    Lucy has this misconception that theck of club members is my fault, but thankfully, its all sorted now. Once I kick Felixs ass, things will be under my control, so I had to deal with this issue in advance.


    ***


    Hmm-hmm~


    Lucy hummed a tune as she headed to the club room, feeling rather upbeat, and her blue hair swayed along with her head.


    Since she nned to study with Felix, she brought a bunch of books with her. Despite her petite frame, she carried a bag almost her own size, wobbling as she walked.


    Tomorrow, well have plenty of new club membersing!


    It will be Felix, Lumi, and me at the interviews, but who cares!


    The club where we used to have casual chitchats ising to an end. Now is the perfect time to showcase the true worth of the Friendship Club!


    *Knock, knock*


    I knocked on the club rooms door and stepped inside. Nobody was there, so I opened the window to let in some fresh air. Oddly, whenever I was in the club room, I felt suffocated.


    Still, thanks to you, I feel energized.


    The flowers in the vase that Felix always watered and took care of to cheer me up. The blue flowers, matching my hair color, always calmed my heart.


    Lucy, you came early.


    After a while, Felix entered through the open door.


    Yeah, I brought lots of books too!


    Great. We have plenty of time, so lets take it slow and go through each one.


    I took out a mana research book from my bag and sat down. With Felix around, my uneasy feeling seemed to ease a bit.


    You cant do it like this here. Mana cirction might get messed up.


    Oh, I see. Youre quite knowledgeable in studying?


    Oh please, this is just basic stuff.


    Time passed, and we devoted a couple of hours to focused studying. Felix excused himself to go to the restroom. As soon as he was gone, my chest tightened as if it were a lie.


    Ugh, this is strange.


    *Ding!*


    Ji-eun?


    I checked the message from my friend Ji-eun.


    [Ji-eun: Hey! What are you up to?]


    [Lucy: Studying with Felix! Its at the club room. Wanna join us?]


    [Ji-eun: Sorry, I prefer studying in the ssroom only. Haha, but its good to see you in a better moodtely.]


    [Lucy: Yeah, my worries disappeared. Oh, by the way, weve been getting tons of membership applications for our club, all of a sudden. Everythings going so well~]


    [Ji-eun: Oh, thats great. Tell Hoyeon to treat me something delicious, okay?]


    I raised an eyebrow. Ji-eun knows that I had a bit of a dispute with Hoyeon, so why is his name being mentioned now?


    [Lucy: Why is his name suddenlying up?]


    [Ji-eun: Huh? Havent you two reconciled? I heard Hoyeon wasining every day to the club office that Friendship Club wasnt listed in the club list.]


    Huh?


    I was so surprised that I let out a gasp of amazement.


    [Lucy: Really? Did you see it with your own eyes?]


    [Ji-eun: Yeah. Didnt you know? It didnt show up on the system, and the promotion post on EveryDay wasnt visible. How are new members supposed to find and join the club when its like that? Hoyeon had a huge fight about it.]


    It was news to me. Hoyeon never mentioned it.


    [Ji-eun: So, I naturally assumed you two had reconciled. Was I wrong?]


    I decided to close the chat with Ji-eun. I lowered my head and pressed my temples with both hands, lost in thought.


    Somethings odd.


    Felixs words had been slowly chipping away at my self-esteem.


    Lucy! Are you okay? Do you want to take a break?


    Felixs voice suddenly reached me, but strangely, it didnt sound as trustworthy as it always had.


    I should say something now. Why cant I find the words?


    Its okay! Im not sick. Lets just get back to studying! I should have spoken like my usual self I should have said something


    Ah.


    Lucy?


    I turned my head to look at Felix. His eyes were genuinely concerned, and his voice was soft and clear. I hesitated for a moment, then closed the book and stood up.


    Um, sorry! I suddenly remembered something urgent that I need to attend to.


    Suddenly? You dont have any schedule today. Theres no urgent appointment either.


    Felix seemed to probe as if he knew the truth, even though I had never discussed my appointments or schedules with him.


    Well, I feel like I need to meet Hoyeon.


    Why?


    I just I think there might have been a misunderstanding. Im not sure, but I think I need to talk to him about it.


    If I say no, will you still go?


    Felixs voice sank deeper than usual.


    Im sorry. But something something feels amiss. Rumors have spread, that much is clear. I need to resolve this and bring Hoyeon back here


    *Crash!*


    Felix identally knocked over the vase he had been gently stroking with one hand. I took a step back, startled.


    Ugh. Handsome pricks are trouble, after all. No matter how much you step on them, a single act of kindness can restore anyones favorability. Fuck this!


    Felix? Whats all this suddenly?


    With a face like this, Ive managed to make quite an impression, havent I? Havent I? Ah, I dont know. I cant stand it anymore!


    Felix abruptly pushed the vase he had cherished aside and got up from his seat.


    My instincts kicked in, and I summoned mana. All my senses were sending out enormous danger signals.


    *Gulp*


    Im sorry, Lucy. I wanted to hold back as much as possible and devour you slowly but you made me to do this. Understand?


    Felixs face, which always disyed kindness and a gentle smile, was now contorted into a sinister expression, filled with lust.
