chapter 46
46. There isn’t much to see at Benon Academy… ?
***
Aneka drew pictures in the time between her part-time job and attending the academy.
Less than two weeks remain.
Still, since this was a work I was presenting to people, I wanted to pay as much attention to it as possible.
Wow—
She painstakingly drew a picture on her canvas, one stitch at a time, every day using a Mana pen.
A picture showing the panoramic view of Benon Academy and the fortune that gave her the opportunity.
“I hope Joa sees it favorably….”
***
About 2 weeks later.
The festival has begun.
Announcing that the festival would be held, the Chairman and Chairman Jaemuri held the microphone and read a notice.
“I am free to do whatever I want and enjoy at the festival. “You can enjoy eating and drinking, riding attractions, busking, and going to the game center.”
“Also, it is okay not to wear a uniform during the festival period. According to the special law of the Cheonun Festival, you are free to wear civilian clothes during the festival period.”
“”Waaa!!””
Students who had been listening quietly during the rides and all cheered when the topic of ‘private clothes’ came up.
It was like that when I was in middle school and high school.
They cheered even if we let them go to school only in indoor clothes instead of school uniforms.
“It is said that if you take a picture in front of the photo zone while wearing civilian clothes, Joa will hand out a ‘Gaechu’ sticker to the student wearing the best fashion.”
[Overview]
This is a sticker created using my divine power.
During the festival, students are free to sell food and drinks, and can demonstrate their aesthetic sense in photo zones, art, and music.
For the good ones there, I will give them ‘dog stickers’.
“It would be a good idea to try for the Gaechoo stickers since Joa will exchange them for prizes later. Hmmm, Benon Academy will also be open during the festival. People will come from outside, so please maintain your dignity as a Benon Academy student. More.”
The academy was freely open during the festival period.
It would be nice to create a little more of a festive atmosphere.
“Then, let us conclude the ceremony.”
.
.
.
“hehehehe….”
I was so excited while planning and making it over the past two weeks.
This cannot be fun.
If you were to ask me if I would go to an amusement park on Earth, the answer would be no.
I’d rather just stay at home.
But, going to the ‘festival’ with Jenna Azel?
This is different.
For today, I plan to enjoy it with Zena and Azel as academy students, rather than as Benon World’s god ‘Cheonun’.
So, I prepared the Rake Knight Commander cosplay.
Commander Rake is a likable male character who appeared in a game I used to play.
Knock knock—
“Come in.”
“… Brother?”
There was a knock on the door and Jenna came in.
“What do you think? “It’s not as bad as you think, right?”
“I can’t see my brother’s face….”
“That’s why it’s good.”
The advantage of this cosplay is that you can cover your entire body and face. Because it’s some kind of full plate armor.
You don’t have to feel burdensome gaze.
“Oppa, this is really good… ?”
Jenna is also wearing a knight cosplay similar to mine. She covered her face with an iron helmet and covered her body with plates.
“It’s good to wear comfortable clothes. But then you can’t enjoy the festival. Is not it?”
We are so famous. You’ll probably be surrounded by people.
“… “I like it if my brother likes it.”
Jenna shrugged her shoulders.
When I was planning it, I thought, ‘Bikini Jenna? Or is it Jenna, the bunny girl?’ She was delusional-
When I think about it, that means other people also see Bikini Jenna and Bunny Girl Jenna.
I can’t see that. Impossible.
So she decided to hide it with knightly clothes. Not only will people not recognize us, but we can also hide Jenna and Azel’s bodies, so we kill two birds with one stone.
As she was smiling happily, there was another knock on the door.
Knock knock—
“Yes. Come in.”
“Joa! “I feel so much stronger!”
Azel came in shouting.
Azel, unlike Jenna, looked more excited than ever.
She wore her cosplay on FM.
Knights cosplay just like us. He brought a mace instead of the hammer he always carried.
“Right? Should we go play now?”
“Yes!”
“Good!”
I came out to the festival venue with two people.
“Let’s enjoy them all slowly, one by one.”
We decided to look around from the front first-
I arrived at the photo zone at the very entrance.
Some students were already taking pictures as if showing off their civilian clothes.
“Let’s film that too.”
“Good!”
I waited in line for a while at the photo zone, and then when it was my turn, I went out and took a picture.
But, cheers were heard from somewhere.
“Oooooh! Did you know anyone in the Lake Knights?!”
Let’s take a quick look in the direction the voice came from-
Chu Gwan was the uncle.
“Is it okay if we take a picture together? “I’m just saying that because I’m really happy to see you.”
I waved my sword. No.
If you can’t see the composition right now, it’s perfect.
I meant to shake the knife in that way, but this man seemed to have misunderstood.
Rather, it seems like he understood it as meaning to come here.
A unique person. He smiled and nodded and approached me.
“Thank you! But you are all sponsors, right? If you don’t mind… Oops, I’m late in introducing myself. I-“
I lightly hit Mr. Chugwan on the forearm with a knife.
Please come out.
“Oh! hahahaha… ?”
Then, Mr. Chugwan pretended to be sick with his characteristic humorous expression.
That moment.
The once bustling photo zone was filled with silence.
People, including most contractors, general students, and even sponsors who don’t know much about Yeon Geun-gwan –
‘You guys are screwed… The expression was ‘.’
I’ve seen this expression directed at other people a lot.
But this time it was heading towards us.
… Right. This guy was the guild leader ranked number one.
Right now, no one recognizes me or Azel Jenna.
In 99.99% Of situations, it is true that anyone who touches Uncle Chugwan, even as a joke, is screwed.
Not me, though.
But it’s a bit different to talk about the situation.
If your voice gets louder, everyone will recognize who you are.
I don’t want to fail at my goal of ‘enjoying the festival without being caught by anyone.’
Tuk Tuk—
I gently touched Mr. Chugwan and called him to the corner.
Mr. Chugwan followed me with an expression that seemed to make no sense.
I slowly raised the eyes of the iron helmet.
I spoke in a voice so low that only the man could hear.
“… That’s me.”
“Po, Po Maljo?!”
Mr. Chugwani had an expression of astonishment that other people had been wearing before.
At that moment, they looked at us in turn with the feeling that ‘I knew what this trio was made up of!’
I raised my index finger.
“Shh! Secret….”
Mr. Chugwan nodded frantically.
“Please do not disturb me when I come back to take pictures later.”
“… Yes.”
“Guys…. “Let’s go next.”
Next is the art exhibition hall.
***
Only 5 works were exhibited in the art exhibition hall.
This is because the preparation period was short, and due to the nature of Benon Academy, there were not many people who drew pictures.
Aneka carefully placed the canvases she painted in the exhibition hall.
At the very end.
‘Can I place mine?’ ?’
Unlike her, her other four works were very well drawn, as if they had been drawn by a professional.
Aneka had no intention of staying here for long.
Because I was embarrassed.
That’s when she placed her own work and turned around.
A man wearing a tailored white suit appeared at the entrance to the art exhibition hall.
“Hmm, I heard there was an art exhibition held at Benon Academy, so I came here, but it doesn’t seem like anything special… ?”
[Bondrean]
With a golden name tag that reads
-.
The man entered the art exhibition hall, applying saliva to his thick sideburns.
As if he was in a fairly high position, people who looked like bodyguards were around him wearing black suits and moving as if to protect him.
“Hmm, I guess I can give this a 5 out of 10… ? It’s just a common piece of average work… ?”
As if he were giving a review, he spoke to his first work and walked to the next.
Aneka was in shock.
From what she saw, her first painting was so well done that it could have been drawn by a professional.
It wasn’t just her first painting. All of the works that followed after that were, by her standards, just showing ‘this is what the professional world is like.’
But Bondrean’s evaluation was unstoppable.
He also poured out harsh criticism in his second, third, and fourth works.
“It’s just an average piece of work. “I guess it’s about 4.5 Points.”
Anneka was planning to leave her work on display and then run away.
However, strangely enough, she found it difficult to take her steps.
Won’t this person possibly evaluate my work favorably?
Even if it’s not like that-
I didn’t want to leave while someone was evaluating my work.
I feel as if I have released my child, whom I worked so hard to create, into the world.
Soon, Bondrean’s steps finally reached Anneka’s work.
“Ha, as an art critic, when I saw it-“
“This is about 4.5 Points… ?”
Phew—
It may be criticized, but it still said similar things to other professional works.
Isn’t he just someone who says the same thing in all his works?
It wasn’t a big deal-
Anneka thought like that and turned around to leave the exhibition hall.
At that time.
Bondrean continued.
“Of course, it’s 4.5 Out of 100… ? In other words!”
“This is trash!”
He said that and threw Aneka’s canvas to the floor.
The picture she had painstakingly drawn over the past two weeks was lying on the floor in vain.
“Who on earth drew pictures like this?” ?! Even the title is extremely profane… ?!”
[Benon Academy with Joa]
The title sign was also lying on the floor.
Tears poured out automatically and reflexively.
The past two weeks of trying to make that passed by like a panorama.
After waking up in the morning, before going to school, between academy lectures, during lunch time, after school, and while working part-time, I picked up a pen.
I don’t know if Joa will see it, but-
I drew it like that in the hope that anyone would smile when they see this.
However, the work she painted was trampled by only one person, Bondrean.
“It’s the end. There isn’t much to see at Benon Academy… ?”
Bondre Anne said and quickly took her steps.
At that time.
Kang—
Someone hit Bondrean on the head.
An old-fashioned knightly iron sword for cosplay.
