I Can See Your Code

I see your code (9)

profit.

The old man opened his mouth when he saw the little boy leaving.

“Let’s go up again.”

“yes.”

The tide had already climbed several times, but he took off his shoes and went up to the meter without showing any signs of annoyance.

It is because they know the importance of the matter.

If there’s any mechanical breakdown, she’s f*cked.

[64]

“… … I’m going to ask you again, but what were your measurements last year?”

“72. It has decreased a lot.”

“Still, it is an acceptable error. Did you exercise?”

“… … As I went up and down to the professor’s lab… … .”

“Hmmm. Being healthy is good. Magic isn’t the only thing that matters. Even elves with such strong magical powers don’t flirt because of their poor physical abilities, don’t they? The degree is what matters.”

“… … .”

At that, the assistant shot a cold shot, and the old man averted his eyes. Even if he thinks about it, he’s been too busy with his assistant these days.

“By the way, I’ve only heard of such a constitution, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”

“I’ve never heard of it, is there any constitution that doesn’t receive a meter?”

The old man frowned at the assistant’s words. It’s not a common story, but as his assistant in charge of the measuring room, shouldn’t he be aware of that?

But instead of getting angry, the old man opened his mouth kindly. It reminded me of how much the tide’s readings fell by 8 in one year.

“It’s the first time a number comes out high, and there are cases where the number doesn’t come out, or the number keeps changing.”

“I’m glad it’s not a malfunction though. I don’t even want to imagine what I would do after it was broken.”

The assistant shivered.

Check when the failure occurred, and call the measurers after the failure to measure again… … Even then, I would have ripped off the curse on the person who came out lower than the original measurement result.

Still, her head would have exploded if the machine had broken down.

Not as a metaphor, but in the sense of a physical entity.

She opened her mouth at the thought that came to her.

“But it’s the first time the number comes out high, right? Maybe it’s not the constitution, but the real 168… … .”

“… … Are you a wizard?”

“yes?”

The old man sighed.

Even though it’s a basic course you learn when you’re young, you’ll never forget these things.

Humans with a unique constitution are so rare that even if you don’t know them, you can understand them. Still, it’s hard not to know even the basics.

“Isn’t it just by looking at ‘Understanding the Basics of Magical Power’? The human body cannot exceed 100.”

“uh… … Was there anything like that?”

The assistant replied with a confused expression.

In fact, the wizard was not greatly affected by the magic pass, so he passed it on without much interest.

“The record that has not been broken 100 years before the invention of the measuring instrument is 98 days. It’s also a baby record. The consensus among scholars is that even the ‘liberation king’ who founded the empire could not exceed 100.”

“Ah, I guess it was… … .”

“Anyway, humans can never exceed 100. They say that they sometimes appear among elves. It never went over 150. 168 is an impossible number. never.”

The old man, who had finished speaking, looked at his assistant who was nodding his head. Suffering is suffering, and what did you learn without knowing this?

“You come to the lab after the afternoon test. I will have to learn the basics again.”

“oh… … Ahh.”

I just asked if I should be quiet. The assistant deeply regretted inwardly.

* * *

“commons. Is the test over?”

“It’s over, but… … Are you not going?”

“Isn’t it natural to wait? Stupid commoner.”

… … So why are you waiting for me

It didn’t come out of my mouth. I thought that after arguing with the little boy, I would feel weird again.

“So, how many results did the common people measure? Did 30 come out?”

“It came out similar.”

“tt. stupid commoner. So why do you do physical training?”

“That’s it.”

Besides, since I’m in a very good mood right now, I was able to let go of that kind of tone insignificantly. The reason is simple.

I got 5 gold back!

It was because the old man who judged me to be an idiosyncratic returned the money. Measure as you measure, and get your money back. It’s like catching two birds without throwing stones.

I used to swear to myself that I could get 5 gold just by going up that one, but it’s not anymore.

It takes time, noble wizard, but of course you have to pay that much. Except for me, of course. Loyalty Loyalty.

“Don’t be too disappointed, commoner. From what I heard, the physical ability seems to be great, but isn’t it enough to play in the water below?”

“okay. You want to play in the big water. The bottom water will disappear now, so please stop following me.”

“Follow me! Do I look like I’m chasing you?”

“yes. It’s been a while since we left the tower.”

Zaire Terberots said with an unhappy expression.

“The roads just overlap! Aren’t the commoners just following me?”

“Oh yeah? I’m going over there now. Good bye.”

“I am that one too.”

“… … I think it’s the other way around. go really well.”

“Coming to think of it, I was the other way around.”

… … You said you’re sure to make this bastard regret, did you already start? If so, that’s success. ‘Cause I’m already sorry

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“hey. Be honest.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why do you always pretend to be close when you have an argument?”

“When did I get stuck! Besides, didn’t the commoners start the dispute first?”

The expression on his face was so sad that even I was puzzled. Who was the first to come and tell me to turn off the commoners who don’t have money?

He was such a character in the original.

He’s not a villain, but he’s a character that everyone avoids by arguing here and there and promoting a sense of authority.

“Beggars who don’t have money are so inferior, so you want them to get out of the tower?”

“Hey, never!”

okay. I didn’t talk like that. But it means the same thing, kid.

“I heard that 5 gold is a lot of money for commoners. It meant not to bet that kind of money on a prosecutor who didn’t know if this would happen or not. In fact, the results were not bad.”

“… … What?”

“No, of course, I admit that I was seriously military after that. But didn’t the commoners insult Noblesse first?”

“… … .”

What are you talking about now? I wasn’t arguing, was I worried? in that way?

It’s just an excuse, so you can pass it on. However, the Zaire Terberots I set was not a character who never made up excuses even when a knife was put in his throat.

As much as he is authoritative, he also has strong self-esteem.

However, at the same time, he was not a character who cared for the common people.

In the original story, Zaire Terberoz’s role is simple. A role that encourages conflict by arguing with commoners with a unique sense of authority. Therefore, there is no such thing as a feeling of consideration for commoners in the first place.

It’s the same even when you’re young.

Since I was a child, I set myself up as a selfish character, tired of a sense of authority.

However, Zaire Terberots in front of him was saying that wasn’t the case. It was said with pure good intentions.

The one who makes excuses and the one who advises commoners with consideration. Either way, it wasn’t the Gyre Terberots I set up.

“commons? What do you think so? Did your fault come up again? No worries. I have forgiven everything.”

“… … No, I’m tired, so I’ll go first.”

“Come on, wait, commoner! If you don’t have money, I can hire you as my escort… … .”

Leaving behind Gyre Terberotz’s voice as he moved away, he headed home.

I didn’t set it up, but the tower as I imagined it. I set it up, but it’s a completely different character from the setup. I don’t know how this worldview came to be.

My head was complicated.

* * *

“74 I came out… … ?”

“yes. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check it out.”

“… … No, there is no such thing.”

phew. thank god. What if I told you to go and check it out?

I’m sorry to lie, but if I said 168 came out, I wouldn’t believe it. 74 is the same reaction.

“But even with that body, you’re still 74… … .”

“Look. ‘Cause I’m fine Can I exercise now?”

“Uh… … .”

Lynol swallowed a saliva at my words. It’s an added bonus to look at me with the eyes of a sick person.

Darin asked, seemingly absurd.

“Are you thinking of arm wrestling with the ogre?”

“Once you have a goal.”

“… … Are you kidding me?”

“… … .”

“Could you tell me it was a joke?”

I looked at Reynol without answering.

“Then I’ll go out for a bit.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m looking for a place to exercise, and I’m going to buy some hewitite. The one before was too light… … .”

“… … after.”

Reinol shook her head flutteringly.

“I can’t help it. However, exercise in a place that does not harm other people.”

“yes. Absolutely.”

“Tell me it’s a joke and go!”

profit. thud.

Questions about this world were still complicated in my head, but it’s not a question that can be answered just by thinking about it anyway. He didn’t even know how he got here in the first place.

When the head is complicated and there is no answer, the solution is surprisingly simple.

Move your body

So, putting aside the problem that did not come out with an answer, I fell into trouble with the exercise equipment.

Hematite is heavy and cheap, so it was perfect for my workout.

The problem is that processed hematite becomes quite expensive. The reason is that it is not easy to work with because the body is heavy and it is that hard.

For that reason, the one I bought before was just heukite as it is. It sounds like he was exercising while swinging something that looked like an elongated piece of shit.

But now I have 5 gold.

Wouldn’t this be enough to make things in the shape you want?

dumbbell… … is too simple

It’s not bad, but the problem is that most of the exercise is focused on the upper body. Then what else is there? You won’t have the skills to make something complicated.

kettlebell? Babel?

… … I couldn’t think of anything more.

In fact, on Earth, I spent a lot of time with exercise.

Can’t we make it like a sandbag that comes out often? I think it would be inconvenient because it’s iron. When I imagined the iron wrapped around my body, my imagination went beyond the armor.

Wouldn’t it be ok to make it into armor at all?

When I arrived at the smithy and asked if I could make armor out of black iron, the blacksmith looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Where are you going to make it and use it? It’s too heavy to wear.”

“I’m just going to use it for decoration.”

“I have all sorts of strange hobbies… … Are you Noblesse?”

“… … no.”

Reminds me of another weirdo. this uncle

“I’ve never made armor out of black iron, so I don’t know… … . If it’s for decoration, I think it’s possible.”

“You just need to be able to put it on.”

“What kind of shelf are you going to put it on?”

no. i will wear

“Well, it doesn’t matter how I spend the money as long as it’s me. Instead, you have to come pick up the stuff yourself. How do we move that heavy thing?”

“of course.”

“then… … Just give me 5 gold on top and bottom. I think it would be easy to make, so I’m giving it to you at a cheap price.”

“It’s here.”

It’s one of those words that can’t be believed by the merchants, but it seemed like a reasonable price to me. Sometimes the money I just got is just right for 5 gold.

A week later, I heard the blacksmith’s words to come and moved on. Now it was time to find a place to exercise.

It was impossible to exercise in the city as long as they were kicked out of the paid training ground. You’re still on the verge of overpopulation, so where else can you exercise?

Eventually, I had to go out and find it.

It’s annoying to have to go back and forth, but what can you do? There will be no monsters in the nearby forest, so you have no choice but to find a suitable place.

In fact, it didn’t matter how many monsters appeared near Layton. Because there are only goblins and orcs.

It didn’t matter as long as the scavenger was only B-class.

There aren’t that many B-grade mercenaries in the first place, but there are virtually no B-grade scavengers.

If you’re a B-grade mercenary, why would you do something like a scavenger if you treat them wherever you go and earn a living?

Dino, that psychopath is weird.

As I walked towards the gate, I saw an empty street. Considering Layton’s population density, it was absurd.

puck! puck!

I looked towards the sound and saw a man beating a boy. A common sight in Layton. As common as it is, it is easy to ignore. I don’t want to get involved, so it’s just a little annoying to go back.

I’m not that skeptical either.

As a modern person living on the earth in the 21st century, it wasn’t really a good scene to watch, but I couldn’t take responsibility for each one, and it was because I was still busy taking care of myself.

But the reason I couldn’t ignore this

“this! Mr. X! bastard! Aren’t you going to pay your arrears?”

First, because the man was really beating the child with the force to kill.

[DT-2-32-2]

The second is that the child being beaten was not a boy, but Tanya Stroud, the imperial princess who died in the setting.
