I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game-Chapter 192: Lucy (2)
Lucy (2)
"Oh, here… have this." Lumi, or rather, Lucy, handed me a drink she'd bought.
As I took the drink, I studied her face. Though I knew she was Lucy, something felt off. No matter how I looked, she didn't quite match the Lucy I knew—though every detail, from her chest size to her eyes, nose, lips, and ears, was identical.
So in this game, they can be this identical, huh?
Even with my Memory Enhancement Ability, seeing such a perfect match was unsettling. While it's possible in a game world, that wasn't my immediate concern. What mattered was understanding why Lucy was impersonating Lumi and how to capitalize on this situation.
I carefully observed her. This might be an opportunity to advance the previously halted route with her.
Glancing at the clock, it read 11:30 AM. It might be a good idea to leave the hospital room since it's unpredictable who might come by, and it's generally unsettling anyway.
"Um… it's almost lunchtime. How about we eat lunch together instead of dinner?"
"Sure, but what about the talk regarding Lucy?"
"We can discuss it over lunch. Besides, other than Lucy, what else is there for us to talk about?"
"Okay, sure…" Lucy nodded, seemingly intrigued by my suggestion.
Lumi and I don't exclusively talk about Lucy, but considering our usual conversations, where Lucy is the primary topic for at least two hours, it's not an exaggeration.
"Then let's go out."
"Alright."
I quickly obtained an exit permit and left the hospital. Given that Iron Blood Hospital is vast and always busy, there are numerous dining options around. After a short walk, I found a quiet restaurant with private rooms.
"There's the café the three of us visited last time."
"I remember. It was good…"
Walking at Lucy's slower pace, we eventually found a peaceful restaurant. Upon entering, I led her to a secluded room. Once our meals arrived, we began eating and conversing.
"This is really good, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's delicious…"
I watched Lucy as she slowly savored her soup.
"When Lucy feels better, let's come here together again."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you know how it is. Whenever we're at a nice place, you think of Lucy."
"Haha…" Lucy paused for a moment, taking a bite as her name was brought up.
The meal's atmosphere was undeniably pleasant. After all, Lucy and I had always gotten along well. That's what makes this situation so confusing. Our relationship hasn't soured, so why is she disguised as Lumi?
I can't wrap my head around it. Without a status window, I'm in the dark about Lucy's thoughts or what prompted this disguise.
Maybe I'm lacking and not seeing the whole picture.
It's unlikely, but if the status window were to suddenly disappear, could I still maintain the harem and everything I've built?
I need to ponder this carefully. This is both a challenge and an opportunity. Why did Lucy appear as Lumi? Since she won't tell me, I'll have to guide the conversation to find out.
"This dish is something Lucy would enjoy. Give it a try."
"Yes, you're right…"
As we savored dessert, our conversation flowed. I purposely mentioned Lucy often, and it seemed to have an impact.
Whenever Lucy's name came up, she reacted with a hint of surprise, as if thinking, ‘Again?' Such a reaction wouldn't occur if she were truly Lumi. That should plant the idea that Lucy is often a topic of conversation for me.
"This ice cream flavor reminds me of my childhood."
"Yes, I loved it as a kid too."
"What were you like back then? You always credit Lucy for who you are now."
Of course, Lumi had never made such a statement. Having played the original game, I ventured the question, know a bit of their backgrounds.
"Ah… um, yes, that's true. Lucy… has been quite supportive."
"How so?"
"She took on part-time work for my sake and shielded me from bullies…" Lumi's, or rather Lucy's, cheeks turned a shade redder. Speaking highly of herself seemed to make her uncomfortable.
Seeing her hesitation, I interjected, "So, you trust Lucy quite a bit?"
"Yes…"
"And Lucy likely feels the same way about you, Lumi?"
"Definitely. It's unconditional. Complete trust."
I nearly burst into laughter watching Lucy nod so earnestly. She slipped up just now.
Maintaining my composure, I adopted a disappointed expression and said, "But why didn't it work out? Am I the problem?"
"Huh?"
"I'm talking about the three of us being together. You and Lucy are so in sync that convincing her should be a breeze. She'd never turn you down. But since it's not working out, maybe the issue is me?" As soon as the words left my mouth, Lucy's pupils began to quiver.
"Um, it's not like that. It's not you, Hoyeon. Maybe I just…"
"Are you saying it's your fault, Lumi?"
"No, um… it's probably… Lucy's fault."
Her reaction was adorable. She seemed unsure how to respond. That's exactly the reaction I was aiming for with my question.
"Lucy's fault? Didn't you say the other day that there would be no issue with her? What's the problem?"
"Uh… um, well, you see…"
Watching Lucy flounder, I pondered to myself. It's becoming increasingly clear, Lucy's acting is nearly flawless.
Sure, at first glance, they look identical, which is natural. But even with the same appearance, changing one's speech pattern is no easy feat. Yet, throughout the meal, her tone remained consistent.
Lucy usually has a higher voice, talks more, and is casual with me. Yet she flawlessly maintained Lumi's more reserved tone throughout our conversation.
Even the closest twins usually have distinct speech habits, right? It's not easy to conceal one's natural way of speaking. This led me to a thought: Could Lucy's original personality be like this?
The twins' past isn't extensively detailed in the original work. But it's known they faced hardships growing up, and Lucy, as the older sister, took care of Lumi a lot. Could Lucy's personality have evolved during that time?
I set aside this thought for now and feigned an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Lumi. I didn't mean to point fingers. I apologize if it came across that way."
"No, no, it's not like that at all!" Lucy vigorously shook her head and hands.
Well, tt's not entirely satisfying, but I've gleaned something valuable. Lucy doesn't dislike either me or Lumi. She genuinely likes us. Still, she's behaving this way for some reason. To uncover why, it seems a more assertive approach will be necessary.
"Shall we go now?"
"Yes. Let's go back to the hospital."
"No, we're going to the motel."
"What…?"
"We've made a plan, remember? Dinner and then to the motel. Did you forget?"
"It's not that, but… I'm worried about your health, Hoyeon. After all, you are a patient…"
"Come on, I'm perfectly fine." As I boasted about my health and moved around a bit, a look of confusion crossed Lucy's face.
"Um, still… wouldn't it be better to rest?"
"Lumi, you said we'd definitely keep our promise this time. Are you going back on your word again today?"
I've never made such a promise, but I pressed on anyway, adding a slightly disappointed expression for good measure. Lucy, who loves Lumi, wouldn't dare refuse.
"Okay…"
***
Thump-thump—
Lucy felt like her head was in the clouds, experiencing something entirely new. Depending on your perspective, the room could be either cozy or spacious. A large TV stood nearby, and neatly folded towels were in sight. Maybe it was the upscale vibe, but there was even a clean magic circle on the motel floor.
It was the first time Lucy found herself in such a setting with a man, who was under the mistaken impression that she was her younger sister, Lumi.
Swish—
As Lee Hoyeon took a shower, Lucy sat on the bed, her head in her hands, lost in thought.
I should've told him the truth. But… is now the right time? What should I do?
In truth, she felt it was too late. The atmosphere, coupled with her own actions, had led them here. The conversation had veered off course, making it hard for her to speak up now.
Not knowing the details of any promise between Hoyeon and Lumi, blurting out, "Actually, I'm Lucy!" would be awkward and out of place.
Even though she knew about Hoyeon's relationship with Lumi, Lucy blamed herself for not foreseeing this situation. Of course, it was all part of Hoyeon's plan.
Just as Lucy continued to ponder what to do, the man returned to the room after finishing his shower.
"Lumi, are you ready?" With only a towel covering the essential part, Hoyeon looked at Lucy sitting on the bed.
She was wrapped in a motel-provided gown, tightly cinched around her. However, her protruding chest made her presence felt.
Hoyeon smiled inwardly as he looked at Lucy, who was awkwardly examining the room—clearly, she was a woman unfamiliar with motels.
"Yes, yes… They have a clean magic circle here…" Lucy couldn't even look at the man properly, stealing glances at him cautiously.
"Come here." Having made a plan as he showered, Hoyeon grabbed Lucy's hand, pulling her close to his chest.
Thud—
Despite the gown between them, he could still feel her soft skin.
"Ahh…"
Slowly, his hands explored Lucy's body. Overwhelmed, she clenched her fists, particularly since Hoyeon was essentially topless, with just a towel around his waist.
For inexperienced Lucy, it was too intense.
Every time his hand touched her chest and stomach, it felt like an electric shock ran through her body. Unable to endure it, she tightly held onto his arm.
"Um, Hoyeon, shouldn't I, um, I need to prepare something… like, a little more… just a moment…"
"Ah, yes. Okay, I got it."
Lucy's tension was palpable, even affecting Hoyeon beside her. He noticed her rhythmic deep breaths—inhale, exhale—an unmistakable sign.
Taking a moment to ponder, Hoyeon glanced at Lucy.
How should I navigate this?
From Lucy's viewpoint, it was too late to come clean about her true identity. The situation was fraught; neither proceeding with nor rejecting sex felt right.
The ball was in Hoyeon's court, but there was no need for him to stop. What Lucy needed was that final nudge to push her affection level to 100. Perhaps sex could be that crucial step. Thus, moving forward seemed appropriate. The stage was set; there was no reason to hold back.
But first, I need to get her to admit she's Lucy.
Having sex with Lucy, while she's under the guise of Lumi wouldn't further his conquest of Lucy. Eventually, the truth must be unveiled, and a dramatic revelation would be most effective.
Subtly shifting his gaze, Hoyeon noticed Lucy still engrossed in her deep breathing, eyes shut.
"Lumi, how much longer will you need to prepare?"
"Uh, ah… that…"
Jolted by the sound of her name, Lucy's eyes snapped open, trembling like a startled herbivore.
"Once you're ready, can you do it like usual?"
In a typical scenario with Lumi, beginning with fellatio would be the expected foreplay, but Hoyeon had no intention of requesting that from the visibly tense Lucy. He had another plan in mind.
"As usual…?"
"Yeah, beg me to fuck you silly with my cock."

"Um… Sorry…?" Upon hearing his words, Lucy's face flushed a deep crimson.
