“Anyone who wants to quit can say so. A club with only three members won’t be disbanded, you know.”
It was a comment intended for Ian, but sitting at the desk, Ian seemed not to hear Robenhaf at all.
‘Is he ignoring me?’
He should’ve heard it.
Robenhaf followed Ian’s gaze and turned his head.
“Let’s go.”
There, Deon and Liche, rising from her seat, were present.
Why is it Liche? Robenhaf thought at that moment. An anxious Ian stood up.
‘I need to confirm it.’
He had to ask Liche to make sure his suspicion was correct.
‘Are you really the one beyond the mirror?’
‘Were you the only person I wished to live?’
“Uh, Liche!”
“?”
I called for just Liche, but everyone turned to look at me.
There were many eyes looking. Filled with the thought that he had to confirm Liche’s identity, reason slowly filled Ian’s mind. This wasn’t the place for it.
“……Take care.”
Nod.
Liche nodded, put the chalkboard on the desk, and wrote.
” You too, senior.”
Ian’s gaze paused briefly on the word ‘senior.’ It was regrettable, as he hadn’t yet confirmed that Liche was ‘that child,’ and the word created a sense of distance.
Liche, taking the chalkboard, walked toward the classroom door. Ian couldn’t take his eyes off her retreating figure.
“Brother, thank you for helping me today.”
With only Deon left, Liche finally spoke.
It felt like her mouth had turned stale from keeping it shut for so long.
But Robenhaf had said it was sufficient to submit an activity report once a month for the club activities, so she didn’t have to worry.
The club was, after all, primarily for Deon. She could find various excuses not to go out frequently after it was established.
“No big deal.”
Walking side by side, Deon spoke curtly.
Liche inwardly smiled at this. With Deon’s help, she felt reassured.
“Brother, no plans for today?”
“No. Done.”
“Really? Should I entertain you?”
“……?”
Entertain? Deon stopped walking and looked at Liche’s spirited expression.
It felt off. If I were the one to entertain Liche, that would be different.
Deon stopped, tapped Liche’s forehead, and spoke.
“Our puppy sure is relaxed. You don’t even have time to practice acting like you have a sore throat.”
“…….”
The corners of her mouth twitched in a grin. She wanted to counter, but she had received help today, so she couldn’t.
Still.
“We agreed not to call me ‘puppy,’ remember?”
“When did I?”
Look at him playing dumb. Earlier, in front of Robenhaf, he even said something about feeding the ‘puppy.’
Standing in front of Deon, Liche moved her hand that was on her own head to Deon.
“Last year, you clearly said, if my chin grows up to…”
Strange.
The palm that she carefully moved wasn’t touching his chin but his chest.
Liche stood in front of her, examining her wound.
“Injured.”
Liche used a star fragment he had pulled from his pocket after confirming Celine’s burn. The wound began to heal, widening the eyes of both Philip and Celine.
“Shadowless chant?”
Especially Celine.
Her family, the Count of Kent, had been producing wizards for generations.
Celine didn’t have as much magical affinity as her recently admitted younger sibling, so she couldn’t enter a school for magic. However, her knowledge of magic was exceptional.
“Is that a magic stone in your hand? The Duke of Ludwick could certainly own a magic stone personally, but…”
To heal with a shadowless chant nonetheless.
“That’s logically impossible.”
Because magical power doesn’t exist in the human body, one must use the magical power of a magic stone to use magic.
Even for minor magic, a long incantation must be recited.
While Celine was wrapped in amazement, her calf had already fully healed.
“…”
As Liche rose, Celine hesitantly reached out her hand. Liche gestured briefly in a polite greeting, then turned away.
Philip, who had been looking at Celine expressionlessly, changed his expression to a slight smile as he made eye contact with the approaching Liche.
Celine hurriedly called out to Liche.
“Um, Miss Twiliche!”
Why call me?
Liche, who was about to head straight to his room after treating her, stopped and turned around.
Celine hadn’t expected to have a conversation with her. The last encounter had not been pleasant.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“Are you friends with Iandwein?”
Philip muttered to himself that a word of thanks should come first. Celine heard his self-talk.
Her face flushed at the realization that she had been corrected by a commoner.
“Philip.”
“Eek. You heard my mumble? My apologies for making a mistake in front of our princess.”
He emphasized the word ‘princess’ deliberately. It was a statement made aware of Celine, a reminder that their lady was of higher standing than the daughter of the Count.
Celine’s face grew redder. Her lips, as if pasted tightly, barely moved.
“Tha…nk…”
Observing Celine’s flushed, prideful face, Liche inwardly sighed. He neither liked nor wanted to be involved in the nobles’ petty disputes.
So, he thought he would answer Celine’s question and leave.
“I saw Iandwein for the first time that day.”
It was a common prejudice among students. Because they were both from ducal families, it was assumed they had known each other before entering the academy.
Liche had also received such questions about his friendship with other dukes’ children.
“So… you’re not… close?”
Liche nodded.
As far as he was concerned within the academy, he and Ian had never even conversed.
Celine made a troubled face at Liche’s answer, then seemed to make up her mind and walked over to him.
Then, after making sure no one was around, she whispered quietly to Liche.
“My attendant saw Iandwein wandering around at night.”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
