Weekend (3)
Darling Hmm
Thanks
I gently stroked Baek Ahyeongs head as she lay on my armrest. Its amusing how we came here to volunteer and ended up like this, but thats just how life. Just to be safe in case the children wake up, I used magic to seal around their ears and placed the Rune Barrier to ensure no sound escapes the room, so theres no risk.
We relished the sex afterglow while lying down.
Ahyeong, come here.
Ahh Hmm Mm
I enjoyed a gentle kiss while exploring her body. As a result, my libido stirred once more, but it felt a bit too much to continue, and the childrens naptime was gradually coming to an end.
I broke free from her lips and looked at the children, The kids are adorable, right? How can they be this cute?
Indeed Theyre incredibly lovely. She gazed at the children with a contented smile, lost in some thought.

Current Status: I wish I had a cute child like them too with my darling?
Ahyeongs eyes, looking at me for a moment, were so frightening that I avoided eye contact.
You shouldnt be thinking about that already, Ahyeong I dont even know how many future wives I might have.
Ahem The teachers coming soon.
Oh, yes, its about time.
Before we knew it, the childrens naptime was almost over. I used a quick Clean spell to tidy up the area and began gently waking the kids one by one.
Knock, knock.
Right on schedule, the daycare teacher entered the room and exclaimed, Oh my, theyre already awake.
Since she was taking care of the kids, we decided to step aside.
Were leaving then.
Yes, thanks for your hard work.
It felt strangely rewarding to receive praise, even though my time was spent simply fooling around with Ahyeong while the kids napped. Still, it was a bit of a letdown not to play with the kids; they were so much fun.
Im a little bummed. It doesnt feel like weve done much volunteering, does it?
Yeah, I feel the same way.
Baek Ahyeong seemed to share my sentiment, wearing a slightly disappointed expression. She was fond of the kids too.
Big bro!
Big sis!
As we headed to the directors office to bid our farewells, the children eagerly rushed toward us. The boy with the red hair, always taking the lead, was the first to reach us. It was him who came close to catching Ahyeong and me having sex last time in the restroom. Behind him, more than ten children and the director followed closely.
Big bro! Lets play with us!
Where did the others go?
They ran away again.
Ran away?
Although there were at least five volunteers playing with the kids just moments ago, there was no one in sight.
Newcomers tend to act this way. They start off all excited, but when they realize that playing with the kids isnt easy, they quickly leave. And they never come back.
Ah.
The director, who had been tagging along, sighed with a wry smile. Its not ideal for the kids So many people come and go, but we cant help it
In reality, this kind of behavior can make the kids feel abandoned or foster a sense of mistrust in people. I didnt anticipate that our volunteer activities at the orphanage would have such a negative impact
Big bro?
I ruffled the boys hair, who was giving me and Baek Ahyeong a quizzical look.
Ahyeong, would you like to play with the kids for a little while?
Yeah, lets do that.
We exchanged glances and shared a light smile. As expected, she and I understood each other well.
***
Ahyeong, Ill come to the infirmary next time.
Yes, see you later.
I might not be able to see her next week, but she didnt look too bummed. Does she know?

Current Status: How am I going to be with him in the survival test I wonder?
Oh, right. Seeing that she didnt mention it to me, it seems Baek Ahyeong, being an academy staff member, must have made some kind of pledge, like a Mana Oath.
I hope she doesnt get into trouble for trying to meet without a good reason.
After saying goodbye to her, I made my way back to the dormitory. It was getting late, and it was already past 4 oclock, almost dinnertime. Liliana was probably streaming around this time.
When I get home, Liliana also ends her stream to match my schedule. Even if she grumbles, she wants to hang out with me; she has no choice. But ending the stream to accommodate my return doesnt seem like a positive move for her channels growth.
I dont really feel like going home just yet but theres nothing to do here. Ah, maybe I should go shopping.
To prepare for the survival test next week, I need a lot of supplies. Its kind of like the second bonus round in the original game, but the survival test is announced on the same day and happens suddenly, so theres no time to prepare.
Surviving for a week with only the provided rations isnt easy, so I need to be self-sufficient in everything from food to bedding. Theres a trick, though. You can secretly bring a subspace artifact to the academy when you go to school on Monday. Since youll be immediately transported to the uninhabited island after the announcement, there wont be any luggage checks.
Now that I knew where I was going, I turned and headed for the large supermarket where I met Nam Daeun last time. I can buy camping equipment and such there.
Hoyeon!
At that moment, I turned around at the lively voice calling me from behind. Lucy and Lumi were approaching me.
Hoyeon, hi! Where you going?
Hello, Hoyeon.
Lucy, Lumi. Im just going out to buy something.
Even with close friends, I cant spill the beans about the survival test. Its fine if its just me; I can say Ive prepared thoroughly. But if it becomes multiple people, itll raise suspicions.
Really? We were planning to hang out at a cafe. Wanna come with us?
Cafe?
Its not a bad idea, and the timing is a bit uncertain, but shopping can wait until tomorrow.
Have you had dinner, Hoyeon? Were going to eat tteokbokki
Okay, lets go.
I havent really spent much time with the twins outside of the academy. I did hang out with Lumi a bit earlier when I first arrived in this world, but we havent had a chance to since becoming secret friends, so it felt like it was about time. Well, aside from all that, whos the fool who would turn down a cafe date with two pretty girls on a weekend?
Im up for it.
Awesome. Lets go!
We headed to the academy shopping complex together. We entered a nice-looking cafe and ordered drinks.
Claire Rose Latte? You have a thing for unusual stuff.
I find it quite delicious.
In reality, its something Moon Soorin likes, and Ive had it a few times. Its not bad. It starts off sweet with a subtle rose scent, cools down as if youve had mint, and ends with a peculiar spiciness.
Wanna give it a taste too?
Huh? Oh, sure. Just like that?
Yeah, take a sip however you like.
When I handed Lucy the Claire Rose Latte, she seemed a tad confused.
I wonder if shes worried about the whole indirect-kiss thing? But, shes not a kid.
Lucy eventually gave me a look, took a sip of the drink through the straw, and made a face.
Hmm? Ew, its strange.
Is it really that bad?
As she continued sipping, it seemed to grow on her.
Why are you drinking this Ugh, I need to rinse my mouth. Lucy said as she eagerly sipped her strawberry latte, while Lumi watched our conversation with a subtle smile.
Hoyeon, are you getting ready for the special test on Monday?
I have to prepare. I dont know what its going to be.
Last year, during midterms, they gathered the entire first-year class into the auditorium for a battle royale. Then, the next test was a massive game of tag, nearly wrecking half the academy.
Really?
Lucys tales of past tests sounded intense. So, there are those kinds of settings too. It makes sense because if they only had the survival test every year, not preparing would be foolish. The special tests during midterm exams have always been unique.
Hope its not too physically demanding, and they spare us the hunger ordeal.
Dont worry, Lucy. Ive been following EveryDay, and it seems like this time itll be easier. They said it alternates between hard and easy tests on a yearly basis.
Dont believe that those guys are just regular students, like us.
Lumi has unwavering faith in the internet. This upcoming test is going to be the most annoying one.
I guess Ill have to load up on food in my subspace. In the game, I only packed what I needed, but now with so many people to take care of, its a whole different story.
Alrighty then~ Im going to make a quick pit stop at the restroom. Lucy got up from her seat, and Lumi and I exchanged glances.
Hoyeon, have you seen the new character introduced this time?
Huh? Oh yeah, Ive seen it.
I didnt catch it at first, but luckily, I remembered that Lumi is an otaku.

Current Status: Is Hoyeon still keeping up with the idol party? Hinata-chan made an appearance.
Talking about Hinata? Shes just moderately cute.
Yes! Thats right. Shes incredibly cute, you know. And Hinata-chan
Lets play along a bit. Lumi spoke with a bright expression. Watching her spew useless information about Hinata-chan, it seemed she hadnt completely shaken off her otaku tendencies.
Well, when it comes to the adorable Lumi, I just go with the flow. If it were someone else, I might not have been so patient.
Lumi, how about joining me in the restroom later?
Yes?
Lets have some quality secret friend time. Meet me at the last stall in the boys restroom. Ill head there first.
O-Oh okay. Lumi smiled happily in response to my suggestion.
Since I noticed her relatively high lust in the status window earlier, its probably accumulating, even if she didnt show it.
I quickly headed to the restroom before Lucy returned. Going together might raise suspicion, so I decided to go first. The restroom near the academy was quite upscale, so it was clean and tidy. As I entered the last stall, just as I had told Lumi, I soon heard a knocking on the door.
Hoyeon, are you there?
Is that you, Lumi? Show me some proof.
Hmm? Please open it quickly Someone might come in
Teasing a responsive girl like Lumi is always fun. Plus, I should give her a hard time about the otaku talk that I wasnt interested in earlier.
Remove your panties and hand them over.
But, Hoyeon
Hurry, or someone might walk in.
Ahh!
There was a rustling sound outside the door, and a pink cloth slid under the bathroom door. The panties, already slightly damp, undoubtedly belonged to Lumi.
Creak.
Okay, come in.
Lumi entered, tears welling up in her eyes.
Ah, its so embarrassing!
Well, she brought up that topic.
