Chapter 248: Final Exam Commemoration Party (4)

"H-Hngh..."

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon placed his hand on Alice's shoulder, she flinched in surprise.

This was because Alice was still not used to the sensation of someone else touching her body.

Having lived a life devoid of touch, she couldn't possibly get used to it after just a few massages.

"Are you okay?"

"Sorry, yeah. I'm okay. I was just a little startled."

"Don't be nervous. I'm just going to check your mana circuits."

Press-

Lee Ho-yeon smiled slightly, grabbed Alice's shoulder, and infused his mana.

The magic power spreading from his fingertips burrowed into Alice's body, quickly settling into her mana circuits.

"They are definitely getting narrower. I think we need to take action."

It seemed it was about time for a massage.

"H-Hss... Eung, haa."

"I'll check a bit more."

While Lee Ho-yeon closed his eyes and checked Alice's body.

Watching him, Alice began to seriously ponder.

'It's strange. No, it doesn't make any sense.'

No matter how much she thought about it, it was strange.

Because with Alice's common sense, Lee Ho-yeon's actions were incomprehensible.

After touching her like that, why was this man so calm?

The memories of that day clearly surfaced in Alice's mind.

That massage she initially thought was a nightmare.

She wasn't doubting Lee Ho-yeon.

The act of the mana massage itself was extremely lewd, but the effects were perfect.

It was to the point she wondered how such a highly effective mana massage wasn't widely known.

Of course, it might not have spread widely because it was as vulgar a massage as it was effective.

That wasn't the problem.

The issue was that the one performing that dirty and frivolous massage was Lee Ho-yeon.

In other words, a 'man'.

'But how can he be so calm? Really?'

Even if it was awkward to say it herself, Alice was quite charming.

No, she was very charming.

She had lived hearing those kinds of things for twenty years.

Even when looking in the mirror, she had a face that could be described as 'beautiful'.

But why?

No matter if it was just work, after touching her body so... lewdly.

Just thinking about that time made Alice's face turn red.

It was hard to hide even when she tried. That was why she focused almost entirely on her facial expressions when talking to Lee Ho-yeon.

But unlike her, why didn't Lee Ho-yeon show any signs of being affected?

'Am I the only one who cares?'

At that moment.

Twitch-

Alice felt her mana circuits gradually expanding.

It meant Lee Ho-yeon's mana had passed through.

Even while Alice was having these thoughts, Lee Ho-yeon continued to focus on his task.

Was it that handsome guys weren't interested in women?

'Bullshit.'

Alice was one of the people who knew best about Lee Ho-yeon's love life.

Since she actually even had a video of him having sex with another woman.

No matter how handsome he was, a man was still a man.

And yet.

After touching her like that.

He didn't develop any favorability?

"Ugh..."

Annoying.

It was somewhat annoying.

It hurt her pride that she was the only one caring this much.

"Your circuits have definitely started to narrow. Shall I massage them a little?"

"...Thank you."

Seeing him take care of her like this, it seemed he did have some favorability after all.

Alice continued to be lost in her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he touched Alice's shoulder.

It was because her reaction of twitching repeatedly just from having her mana circuits touched was amusing.

'Couldn't I touch a bit lower too with this?'

Since her aversion to the massage seemed to have largely disappeared compared to the beginning, it would also serve to plant a slight sense of expectation.

"H-Heeek..."

Alice, who had been pondering about Lee Ho-yeon, started to tense up again at the strange sensation in her lower abdomen.

*

"Not bad. It's still much better than before."

As my magic power swept across the outside of Alice's body, she began to tremble.

Since I had my hands on her shoulders, I could feel that trembling too.

'This is fun.'

"K-Kuhh, hahh, eub."

Poke. Poke.

A touch using magic power.

The fact that it didn't feel awkward even after a long time made it seem like it was my true calling.

I pushed my magic power between Alice's thighs.

Her plump thighs were tightly closed as if refusing to allow the inside, but they couldn't block magic power.

Eventually finding a gap and burrowing in, my magic power reached Alice's genitals.

"H-Heut, heup?"

Perhaps feeling something strange inside her body, Alice pressed her hands firmly between her skirt.

Her shoulders, which I was holding, twitching repeatedly was a bonus.

Squelch-

While I was having fun riding the flow and touching her clit several times.

Alice let out a ragged breath and opened her mouth.

"W-Wait a minute. Phew. This is strange. There are a lot of people here too. The feeling is too..."

"Ah."

At Alice's words, I simultaneously looked around.

I was having so much fun that I had forgotten the Student Council seniors were here.

And at the same time, I realized that Su-rin Nuna's magic power was close by.

Knock knock knock-

"Y-Yes!"

I hurriedly took my hands off Alice and opened the door.

"Nuna. You're here?"

"Yeah. Sorry. I had a lot of work. What were you two doing?"

"We just had a little chat. While waiting for you to come, Nuna."

"Hmm. I see."

Su-rin Nuna's expression was normal, but I felt a somewhat uneasy sensation.

It was a chilling feeling that I had come to sense from seeing women so often.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Moon Su-rin]

- [ Favorability : 88 ]

- [ Libido : 50 ]

- [ Appetite : 45 ]

- [ Fatigue : 65 ]

Current Status : What was that. A joke? Or skinship? Or...

As expected.

This Nuna noticed but is pretending not to know.

Swallowing my saliva with a gulp, I quickly continued speaking.

"And I massaged her shoulders too. Since she looked tired lately."

As I stealthily glanced at Alice, she was fixing the arrangement of her clothes.

No, why are you fixing your clothes now of all times?

If anyone saw, they would think we really did something.

"Yeah, yeah. Have a seat first. I'll quickly relay it to you."

Fortunately, Nuna didn't seem to care that much.

"...Yes. Student Council President."

Alice, her face still slightly flushed, sat in a seat facing Su-rin Nuna.

Since I was in a position to listen together with Alice, I also took a seat next to her.

"First of all. Um, Alice?"

"Yes. Student Council President."

"It's alright if I speak comfortably, right...? I want to deliver this to you and Ho-yeon at the same time."

"It's fine."

Were the two of them still using formal language?

No matter how much I thought about it, this was the problem.

The heroines were too distant from each other.

They needed to get a little closer for my harem to become easier.

Like Liriana and Nam Da-eun, for example.

Of course, those two had a somewhat special relationship, but ah, whatever.

"Great. Then I'll slowly start explaining. First of all..."

Su-rin Nuna's explanation wasn't difficult.

Since they called it a Commemoration Party, I thought it would last for several days, but it seemed to be just exactly one day.

Of course, they said the Academy would take a break and it was a day to play all day, so the scale seemed quite large.

Actually, looking at the schedule Su-rin Nuna showed us, there was an incredible amount for the Student Council to prepare.

The deadline was also incredibly tight.

Because it was this Friday, the day after tomorrow.

Honestly, I wondered if this made sense, but looking at the schedule, I understood since most of it was written as 'prepare with magic'.

It wasn't like there was a celebratory performance or anything, it was just students drinking, eating, and hanging out, so no rehearsals were needed either.

Whatever was needed could just be prepared with magic on that day. That was probably why the preparation period was so short.

"That's how it's going to be. Did you both understand?"

"Yes. I understood. Student Council President."

"I roughly understood too... But what is this [Music and Dance] at the very end?"

The end of the schedule.

It was an activity scheduled around sunset.

While answering my question, Su-rin Nuna smiled cutely like a little demon.

"That's exactly as it says."

"...?"

"Literally. Music will just play, and we'll create a stage where people can dance. So that those who want to dance can do so."

"Uh..."

This feels incredibly unsettling somehow.

It's a cliché.

This is a cliché where things go horribly wrong.

"Why, do you want to dance with me?"

Su-rin Nuna immediately poked at me.

It was as if she had bitten the bait I threw, waiting for this moment.

"...It's because I'm not good at dancing."

"It's fine. I can..."

"Student Council President. Do I just need to know what's written in these documents?"

At that moment, Alice interrupted the conversation.

From my perspective, it was a grateful timing.

"Ah, yeah. You can go if you've understood everything."

"...Understood. Ho-yeon. Let's go."

Standing up from her seat, Alice looked at me.

Looking at her expression, it seemed she didn't want to waste time.

Since Alice would have a lot on her schedule.

But why is she telling me to go with her?

"Huh? You want to go together?"

"I'll guide you. To the dormitory Warden."

Oh, I wonder what's gotten into Alice.

Even though she pretends not to know me outside.

Honestly, I already know the location so I don't need her to guide me, but there's no reason to refuse when she's asking to go together.

"Excuse me, Ho-yeon."

Just then, Su-rin Nuna also spoke to me.

"Yes?"

"Is that an urgent matter? I have something to talk about too."

"Ah, uh..."

If she asks if it's urgent, it really isn't.

Since the Warden's Office stays open even at night, I can go after everything is done.

But the problem is, doing so makes me feel sorry towards Alice who proposed it first.

"...What about me?"

Just as I thought, Alice looked at Su-rin Nuna with a slightly dissatisfied voice.

"Ah, you can go ahead, Alice. It's a personal matter."

"Student Council President. Ho-yeon's matter is quite urgent. Since he doesn't know when he'll be moving..."

"Um, Alice? The Warden is right behind the dormitory. Is there really a need for you to guide him?"

"..."

Alice also answered immediately to not back down, but it was hard to argue against sound logic.

In fact, those words were right.

I've also seen the Warden's Building several times while passing by.

Honestly, there's no one living in the dormitory who doesn't know that building.

Since Su-rin Nuna also lives in the dormitory, she would know it better than anyone.

"...Haa."

Alice let out a very small, hollow scoff.

Perhaps not having heard it, Su-rin Nuna, who was sitting in front of me, was smiling brightly.

Her smile was so refreshing that it was surprising.

"...Lee Ho-yeon."

"Yeah?"

Alice, who was standing next to me, spoke in that exact posture.

She had a very displeased expression for some reason.

"I have something to say too, so contact me when you're done."

"...? Got it."

I wonder what's going on all of a sudden.

She didn't offer to guide me just to say something important, right?

If so, this might be a bit of a big deal.

'If it's something she can tell me after I'm done, I guess it isn't that urgent?'

Anyway, leaving only those words, Alice walked outside.

It wasn't my imagination that her steps looked a bit more disgruntled than usual.

'Is she a little mad?'

Well, it would be a bit annoying to be cut off after bringing it up first.

Still, I couldn't follow Alice out of here.

"Ho-yeon. I have something to say."

Because that would mean ignoring our Su-rin Nuna, who was smiling right in front of me.

*

Coming out of the Student Council Room, Alice gritted her teeth.

"How unpleasant."

The Student Council President.

It was incredibly detestable to see her making a smug expression as if she was someone important.

She would never reveal her feelings to someone she could use as personal connections later, but for some reason, she was extremely annoyed today.

To be honest, she considered it [pointless harassment].

It was probably an action taken to harass her for getting close to Lee Ho-yeon, but it only made her feel bad.

She and Lee Ho-yeon were merely in a business relationship.

Even if she harassed her, it was only unpleasant.

If her ulterior motive was to upset her to cause problems for the Iris Guild, and ultimately lower France's national power, then it was a definite success.

"Unpleasant, unpleasant, unpleasant, unpleasant... Phew..."

Alice took a deep breath while furrowing her brows.

Because she had come close to the car waiting at the Main Gate.

Sebastian must have been waiting for a while.

Alice carefully got into the backseat.

Sebastian welcomed Alice with a smile, as always.

"Have you arrived, Young Lady."

"Yeah. Let's go home."

"Should we head straight home? I thought you would stop by for dinner or the cocktail bar."

"Forget it. I'm not in a good mood. I want to rest today... Ah."

Come to think of it, she had told Lee Ho-yeon to wait.

What Moon Su-rin was doing was so ridiculous that she just spat it out without thinking.

Because her jealousy of Alice being close with Lee Ho-yeon was too obvious.

In truth, she had nothing to say.

She simply said it to make Moon Su-rin feel bad.

"...Hmm."

Alice considered whether she should go back even now, but decided to just send a message on her smartwatch.

[Come to think of it, I don't have anything to say. See you later.]

"This should do."

Alice let out a sigh and closed her eyes.

Because fatigue suddenly washed over her.
