I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game-Chapter 190: Weekend (2)

Weekend (2)

Saturday afternoon.

[Soorin Noona: I'll visit later this afternoon. Can you tell me the room number?]

After Baek Ahyeong left around noon, I got a message from Moon Soorin saying she'd come by for a hospital visit. Seeing her message, it seems her investigation has finally wrapped up.

"Should I have sent another message?"

I haven't heard back from my last message to her, so I've held off on reaching out. I can't help but wonder if she felt a bit neglected. I kept glancing at my smartwatch, awaiting her arrival.

"What's this?"

Something seemed off on EveryDay. Shin Young Guild, Shin Dongmin—those unsettling names dominated the search results, accompanied by a slew of related articles.

"Demon?"

It's a twist absent from the original storyline. Shin Dongmin isn't merely stalking Moon Soorin through the Shin Young Guild's influence; he's also entangled with demons, caught in a complicated situation.

Scouring through online communities and articles, I noticed that several major guilds and even the academy had issued statements. Drawing from my knowledge of the original work, it became clear.

"This involves the academy."

The issue traces back to Victoria Academy. Most of the guilds making statements have friendly ties to the academy.

"Is it the chairman?"

Seems unlikely. I had asked him to publish a defending article on my behalf, but I doubt the old man would go beyond my request. Looking back, I was quite audacious to even ask.

"A coincidence?"

Perhaps it was. While probing the association's social gathering terror, the academy might have inadvertently crossed paths with Shin Dongmin, swiftly sidelining him from his role as student council vice president.

"This seems too convenient… Or is it ominous?"

The situation has become more manageable, but Shin Dongmin is the culprit in Moon Soorin's stalking case. Though my involvement delayed the stalking issue, he's still crucial for winning over Moon Soorin. But if he's apprehended like this… Isn't it problematic?

Knock, knock—

A familiar knocking sound reached my ears. Given the frequency of these visits, I recognized it as my assigned nurse.

"Yes, who is it?"

"You have a visitor. Miss Moon Soorin is here to visit. Shall I let her in?"

"Sure, send her up."

Wow, time flies. I readied myself for her visit and turned off my smartwatch.

Hold on. Moon Soorin?

I recalled hearing that she was conducting a personal investigation.

"It's hard to believe she would orchestrate something on this scale. Even considering her authority within the game's setting, this seems excessive."

Knock, knock—

Another knock echoed.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, come on in."

The door swung open, revealing Soorin's platinum blonde hair.

There she was, Moon Soorin, Victoria Academy's student council president, all neat in her uniform. Even dressed like that, it was definitely my noona, whose chest and hip line were somehow exaggerated.

She gave me a slight smile, took a seat, and said, "Hoyeon, how are you feeling? Sorry for the delay."

"Just having you here is comforting, Noona."

"Really? Then, you should have left a message."

"Sorry… I thought you were busy, Noona."

She looked a bit miffed. Even if you manage to charm heroines, it seems you can't outgrow beginner mistakes in relationships.

I bowed my head in apology.

"No worries, I should've reached out too. Oh, speaking of, I brought some drinks for you."

She set the drinks down on the table. But wait, there's more! I spotted bags and boxes coming in behind her.

"Got some snacks, drinks, a game console in case you get bored, a massager, and some vitamins…"

"Whoa, slow down, Noona. I'll be out of here soon. Just the thought's enough, seriously." I waved my hands, slightly panicked.

Who uses telekinesis to bring this much stuff?

"Oh, really? When do you think you'll be discharged?"

"Probably next week. I'm getting better."

"That's good to hear. How about we go out for a meal to celebrate your discharge?"

"Of course. I'll treat this time."

I wondered if it was appropriate for me to pay for the celebration, but considering all I've gained so far, it's fine. I've got the cash thanks to Alice; I should certainly be generous now.

"Thanks. It makes all my efforts worthwhile."

"Efforts?"

"Yeah. Do you remember this?" Moon Soorin held out a photo. The image showed a chilling skull mask.

"This… It's the mask that was worn by the demon during the attack at the terror incident."

The skull-masked demon. The culprit behind my current state. Just looking at it ticks me off.

"Actually, I was investigating this. The skull-masked demon that attacked you."

Soorin kept pulling out more evidence from her bag. From the investigation of the skull mask to searching the party venue alone and finding a brooch. And then connecting Shin Dongmin and the mask through that brooch. Neatly organized evidence was laid out before me.

"Noona… you did all this? Then the media too…"

"If you find evidence, you act on it immediately. Plus, I had to cut ties with the vice president quickly anyway. Ah, but I investigated it because you were attacked. Shin Dongmin came up afterward."

Wow… It felt like Soorin's head was sparkling right in front of me.

"Noona, I love you!"

"How about we get married then?"

"Sorry, but it's too early for marriage."

I chuckled looking at Soorin's playful smile. I don't know how to express my gratitude.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Moon Soorin]

[Affection: 86]

[Lust: 45]

[Appetite: 50]

[Fatigue: 43]

Current Status: Almost there… How much longer?

I'm grateful that she's helpful, but taking care of my troublesome enemies too? Unbelievable.

It's a bit scary to think about… but it should be fine.

"Noona, one meal won't cut it. If there's something you want, just say it."

"Well, not now. I'll let you know if something comes up."

"Sure thing. Anytime." I nodded, looking at the cute smile Soorin made.

Cough, cough—

Despite thinking rest would do the trick, Lumi was battling a bad cold. The condition worsened right after a hospital visit to Lee Hoyeon. Roaming around when she should've been resting only exacerbated the situation.

"I told you'd catch my cold, Lumi…"

"It's fine. Hehe… I'll get better soon. Ah… Achoo!"

"Sigh…"

And in a twist of fate, Lucy, who had just recovered, was now taking care of the bedridden Lumi. It felt like she'd passed on the sickness to her twin, making her feel even guiltier. Even though her body had bounced back, her heart still felt heavy. But she couldn't skimp on taking care of Lumi.

Lucy wrung out a wet towel and placed it on Lumi's forehead.

"Lucy… Are you going to see Hoyeon tomorrow?"

"Why would I…?"

"Since I can't go… Wouldn't Hoyeon get bored?"

Lucy paused. Could she face Lee Hoyeon?

Since that day, just thinking about him lately gave her a headache. But she couldn't keep dodging him. He's Lumi's boyfriend, after all; they'd have to meet sooner or later.

"Have you told Hoyeon that you're sick and can't come?"

"My smartwatch broke… so I couldn't."

"Ah…"

As Lucy mulled it over, Lumi sensed her hesitation. For some mysterious reason, Lucy seemed reluctant to face Lee Hoyeon. And Lumi knew she was part of the equation. The twins have that uncanny ability to read each other's minds.

"Lucy."

"Yeah, do you need something?"

Lumi was concerned about Lucy, and Lucy felt the same. Given her current state, it wasn't the best timing, but it was now or never.

"You like Hoyeon too, right?"

"W-What?! What are you even saying?! Is your head pounding that bad? Hold on, let me swap that towel. Just give me a sec. Oh look, here's some hot water. Or maybe you'd prefer some porridge?"

Caught off guard by Lumi's sudden remark, Lucy waved her hands frantically and moved in haste. She swapped out the wet towel on Lumi's forehead and retrieved the porridge she had warmed up.

Yet even that didn't silence Lumi, who continued, "Lucy, I like Hoyeon. What about you?"

"…"

Lucy couldn't understand why Lumi would bring this up, but she knew her sister wasn't joking. So, she chose to listen and responded, "Um, I think I… I like him too."

Voicing her feelings for the first time, Lucy's face flushed. She wished she could just disappear under the blanket Lumi had draped over her.

"Let's share Hoyeon. It should be doable for us, especially with you, Lucy."

"Share…?"

Though not a term typically used between lovers, Lumi looked at Lucy with a sincere expression.

"Yes, Hoyeon has already agreed to it."

Lucy began to slowly process what Lumi was saying.
