I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game-Chapter 191: Lucy (1)
Lucy (1)
"So… are we really gonna date Lee Hoyeon?"
"Uh… Yes… Achoo!"
Lucy was actually okay with anything as long as she was with Lumi. If Lee Hoyeon was part of the deal, it might not be so bad, although it was a bit hard to picture. Being friends was fun, and if they became lovers, that could be even better.
Yeah, definitely.
Yet, a nagging worry lingered in her heart. If what Lumi said was true, then it would be fine. She could handle a little embarrassment if it meant things would return to normal—or even improve. The concern was if it wasn't genuine.
What if… they're just forcing themselves to do it? What would I do?
Maybe they're doing it out of pity for her feelings? Aware of Lee Hoyeon and Lumi's kind nature, Lucy couldn't help but consider the worst-case scenario. If she later discovered it was all a show of consideration for her, she feared she might never recover.
"Lumi, rest up for now. I'll head back and think this through."
"Um, okay. Love you, Lucy."
That smile from Lumi was sincere; it wasn't a fake. Yet Lucy couldn't shake the image of the two she had seen in front of the motel. Could she really find her place in their relationship?
"Love you too. Hand me your smartwatch; I'll get it fixed and bring it back."
"Sure."
After tidying up Lumi's room and making some food for her, Lucy left the dorm. Once in her own room, she collapsed onto her bed.
What should I do?
She tossed and turned, unable to settle on a decision. A whirlwind of pride and embarrassment consumed Lucy. The lingering image of the two kissing in front of the motel was the crux of her dilemma.
"The two of them at a motel…"
While there could be various reasons, it seemed likely they went there for sex. Given they'd even kissed in front of the motel, it was a pretty clear sign.
"Does it feel good… Of course it does, right?"
Lucy, who had no experience with men, was always interested in that area. Whenever her friends delved into racy topics, she was all ears, serving as the eager listener.
"Lumi…"
Each time she imagined Lumi and Lee Hoyeon kissing and taking off each other's clothes, a strange mix of emotions flooded Lucy's heart. She felt warmth spreading through her body, a fluttering sensation in her stomach prompting her to instinctively place her hand between her legs.
"Ugh…"
Lumi kissing Lee Hoyeon. And herself.
Lumi beneath Lee Hoyeon. And herself.
Since the twins looked almost identical except for their hairstyles, Lucy found it easy to project herself onto Lumi.
"Lu, Lu-mi… Ah, Hoyeon…"
Twitch—
It was her first time masturbating since being kidnapped by Felix. Although she wasn't good at it, the awkward movement of her fingers and the unfamiliar sensation still brought Lucy to a thrilling climax.
"What am I doing…?"
After fingering herself for a while, Lucy stopped. She felt pathetic for succumbing to lust at a time when she should have been focused on more serious matters.
Letting out a sigh and getting up from the bed, Lucy glanced at Lumi's smartwatch on the desk, then caught her reflection in the mirror beside it. Her long, flowing blue hair, dyed from a young age to differentiate herself from her identical twin, caught her eye.

"…"
At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind. People distinguished Lucy and Lumi by their hair color. If that were the case, would Lee Hoyeon recognize her if she cut and dyed her hair black?
"He definitely… wouldn't recognize me."
It had been about two months since Lucy met Lee Hoyeon. It wasn't that her feelings for him were lacking; they simply hadn't spent enough time together. Even friends of over a decade couldn't tell Lucy and Lumi apart without their distinct hair colors. Lee Hoyeon would have an even harder time.
"I could just ask him directly."
No need to overcomplicate things, she thought. After all, she could change her appearance like Lumi's and confront Lee Hoyeon directly, thereby uncovering their true feelings.

Sunday morning.
After checking Lumi's condition and saying that the matter was still under consideration, Lucy left the dormitory. She then made her way to the salon she'd booked in the academy plaza.
"Miss, you look stunning."
"Th-thank you…"
Once her hair was styled, she examined her reflection in the salon mirror. Strands of her long hair littered the floor, and her distinct blue hue had been transformed into black.
Lumi's face…
Even face-to-face, it was almost surreal to see herself looking so much like Lumi.
Exiting the salon, Lucy strolled down the street. The absence of her hair brushing against her shoulders felt strange, but she figured she'd adjust soon.
En route to the hospital, she spotted several students from Victoria Academy milling about the nearby shops. Just then, her friends began approaching from the opposite direction.
"Oh, hey!"
Wait, I'm not Lucy right now; I'm Lumi!
Lucy cleared her throat and modulated her voice. Given they were identical twins, mimicking Lumi's voice was manageable with a bit of effort.
"Hey, isn't that Lumi?"
"Hi, Lumi? Where are you headed?"
Luckily, Lucy was the first to be recognized, so she responded, "Ahem… Oh, hello."
She offered a slight bow, mirroring Lumi's mannerisms.
"Where's Lucy? Are you by yourself?"
"Uh, Lucy's back at the dorm. I'm just going shopping…"
As the conversation flowed with her friends, Lucy started to get the hang of it. Feeling confident in her performance, she decided it was time to wrap up.
"I, I should get going. It's getting late…"
"Ah, got it. Catch you later~"
"Yes, take care." Bowing her head, Lucy couldn't help but smile inwardly. Even long-time friends couldn't tell it was her. She felt confident that Lee Hoyeon wouldn't recognize her either. The real issue was her pounding heart, but she didn't have time to worry about that.
After dropping off Lumi's smartwatch at a repair shop, Lucy made her way to the hospital.

Sunday morning.
As usual, I was checking the public opinion on my smartwatch when a system window suddenly appeared.
[Subquest Received!]
"Huh?"
A quest, out of nowhere? It's been a while since one popped up, and it feels quite random.
———————-
[Difficult Path for a Harem]
To build a harem, you must fully understand the heroines!
Have you been relying solely on the Heroine Status Window so far?
Taking action on your own can be a stepping stone to significant growth!
Objective: ???
Reward: Significant increase in natural healing ability.
Limitation: Heroine Status Window is sealed for 24 hours.

"What kind of quest is this…?"
The system isn't wrong, but the sudden appearance is jarring, and the objective is unclear.
"This damn system…"
Knock, knock—
Just as I'm contemplating this absurdity, I hear a knock. It's not time for a regular check-up; must be a hospital visit.
"Yes, come in."
The door opened, it was Lumi. She entered the room wearing the familiar academy uniform. She looked under the weather, likely from catching a cold yesterday.
"Hoyeon…"
"Lumi? Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, yes…"
She, looking somewhat reserved, took a seat, and I tried to check her status window.
Status Window.
But unlike usual, nothing appeared.
"Hmm…"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Really, why isn't it showing? I can't figure out what the system is thinking.
"Come to think of it, how's Lucy? She hasn't been answering my calls, I assume she's asleep."
"She's… fine. Yes, she's probably just sleeping."
"Good to hear."
Lumi hesitated for a moment, looking like she had something to say.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
"I, I talked to Lucy… about three of us dating."
"Ah, I see."
Finally, she told her. I hope it went well.
"But, Lucy seemed somewhat negative about it. She feels like… we're betraying her."
"Well… I can see how she'd feel that way."
I wouldn't blame her for being skeptical. I thought Lumi could handle it, but maybe not.
"So, what should we do? Should you try to convince her yourself?"
"…"
While contemplating what to do, I turned my head to find Lumi staring intently at my face, as if waiting for a certain reaction.
"What's up?"
"How do you feel about… Lucy's reaction?"
"Her feelings are justifiable. It's just a matter of how to persuade her."
I'm at a loss for words, being the scum aiming to possess both sisters.
"But still, I feel betrayed because she doesn't trust me… I thought she'd understand."
"What's gotten into you, Lumi? You seem off today. Is your cold still bothering you?"
Lumi's tone seemed like she wanted to criticize Lucy. Usually, when Lumi visits, she spends at least two hours praising Lucy, but today was different. It felt awkward, and I found it hard to explain the discomfort I felt.
"…"
Status Window.
As expected, the status window didn't appear. A hypothesis crossed my mind: could this situation be related to the quest?
To test it out, I casually asked, "By the way, we have a plan to have dinner tonight, remember?"
"Yes, yes. Of course, I remember."
"Hmm. Okay, then."
We never made such a promise. Lumi visited yesterday and wasn't in good shape due to her cold. There's no way we had an evening appointment.
So why does she remember? Because the person in front of me isn't Lumi.
"…"
Feeling a slight tension, I took a moment to consider. If this were an enemy disguised as Lumi, my Battle Sense would have triggered. But there was no such reaction.
The same applied to Mana Sensitivity. If they were using magic to hide, I'd have sensed it. I even focused intently on Mana Sensitivity, but still, no signal. That meant the person in front of me wasn't disguised by magic or artifacts; it was their original form.
"…"
"W-What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
And there's only one person who could accomplish such a thing. Identical twins, indistinguishable to the world. For some reason, the person in front of me appeared to be Lucy.
