chapter 9
Episode 9. Mutuje (4)
“So that’s why you came here this morning? What about classes?”
Elias asked with a puzzled expression.
“Let’s stay here for 15 days. Isn’t it nice that I can help with work?”
In the end, she chose to take refuge in a hideout.
I’m skipping class. Wouldn’t it be possible to skip it by saying that I went on a field trip later?
With money, of course.
“Haa…. It’s nice to help with work, but I’m worried about the gold that will go into it again.”
“Can’t we just hold out until the second semester?”
In the second semester, the image of a fool will be diluted more than now, and above all, there will be more holes for money to come in, so you will have more money than you do now.
“What if I go bankrupt before then?”
“Oh no way.”
I’m a little stressed out these days, but it’s not like Elias’s mouth will come out of bankruptcy, right?
“The old lady wants more money.”
“What? 100,000 Gold is not enough?”
“Yes. They say it’s not enough.”
This is a headache.
When I first recruited that grandpa, it was said that money and ideas would never be lacking, so it’s hard to say just get 100,000 gold and stick with it.
“Can you give me another 50,000 gold? What is your budget now?”
“I still have room for 50,000 gold. I still have about 300,000 gold in my reserve budget.”
“300,000…. Please pray that nothing big will happen.”
As far as I remember, there was nothing big about spending money in the first semester.
But this isn’t a game, it’s the reality.
The reality is that we cannot guarantee what will happen or how it will happen.
“Doesn’t Nico train?”
“You know what? That I won’t become a trainee.”
I just exercise enough to maintain my physical performance.
Swordsmanship or whatnot, I won’t be able to use it anyway, and my abilities won’t be improved through training.
On the contrary, it decreases the more you use it, but you can’t waste it in training.
“Still, wouldn’t it be nice to increase your physical abilities?”
“I’m not wrong, but you can solve all of that with medicine anyway, right? It was useless, but I felt like I was wasting my time.”
There’s a solution, but there’s no need to exert yourself unnecessarily.
“Yes, but…. What are you going to do with the fight? Are you going to use your abilities?”
“They are still very young babies. It’s a little too much to use the ability. Wouldn’t it be enough to just hit them one by one with the gauntlet?”
“Haa…. Then he hurts his nose.”
“Noisy. It will never happen.”
Even though the main characters are full of talent, it is still the first semester of the first year.
For those guys who have never gone through any ordeal and just believe in their talent and go wild, one night is enough.
“Apart from other people, wouldn’t the older brother be a bit dangerous?”
“Yes, but.”
However, the case of the older brother is different.
I have been training non-stop since I was very young, and I have accumulated some practical experience.
He is one step ahead of the other main characters, and he even has a cheat called Star Eye, so he’s an opponent you shouldn’t take lightly….
“That’s why you go with the gauntlet. If you have to, you have to blow it up.”
I have a temper that no one else has.
“Can I really trust that? It exploded during testing, right?”
“No, the test was perfect.”
It was just a weapon that ordinary knights shouldn’t be testing.
“What…. I believe you will figure it out.”
“Believe me. I’ve been questioning you until now.”
“When did I do that? It’s just that I’m worried.”
“Climbing slowly?”
“You misunderstood.”
That’s how I went about taking care of Elias’s paperwork while chatting with Elias from time to time.
And I slept here until the day before the martial arts meeting, and when I woke up, I handled the paperwork again. Once in a while, she spent the day moving her body from time to time.
It seems like I forgot something.
Since I was helping them, it was over in about half a day, and Elias seemed to be quite satisfied.
And the day before the martial arts meeting, just after noon, she finished her work and on her way to the dormitory, she bumped into Maya.
It was destroyed with a justice stick.
*****************************
‘What is it really? Who is this madman?’
Fortnight has passed since Nico disappeared.
For 15 days, Maya has not been contacted.
Maya said she was the first few days she thought she could but…. As time passed, her anger grew.
It seems that he took refuge for a while because of work that day, but does that make sense that he hasn’t contacted you for a full 15 days?
‘Besides, I took care of it without a fuss!’
As soon as Foul saw Maya, she confessed her guilt.
I wanted to make him feel embarrassed by expelling the foul who even lied with his head, but if that happened, it was clear that Nico, who swung his fists, would suffer damage, so I finished it on the condition that we keep our mouths shut until graduation. ….
This crazy bastard didn’t even know how much effort she had to go through to reach an agreement like that, so she went into hiding alone.
At this point, Maya wondered if the two of them were lovers.
‘Mu. Of course, they’re not real lovers!’
Obviously Maya was playing with him.
I never thought of him as a real lover, and I still do, but that’s Maya’s own business. At least he thought that if he thought of Maya as her lover, she shouldn’t have gone to sleep like this.
“Maya Maya. It is said that now ‘he’ has returned to her academy.”
While Maya was brooding over her annoyance, Emma informed her of his location.
“… Where are you now?”
As she asked Emma where he was, Maya flicked up the switch on her justice stick.
Of course, it worked without any problems because I didn’t forget to charge it every day.
“Now that we have entered the academy, I think we should head to the dorms.”
“Let’s go.”
Emma was also quite angry.
She
She was playing with him, but still he must be thinking of her lady as her lover now, but she left her lady without contacting her for a fortnight.
I bet no lunatic could do that.
The madman did the crazy thing.
I secretly released a person and looked for him for a long time, but at the moment I couldn’t easily catch his tail as if he had evaporated, he appeared at the academy on his own.
‘Looks like you did a good job raising the output without the lady knowing.’
Nico appeared in front of the two of them as they walked briskly.
“Maya? What are you doing here at this hour?”
“Die!!”
Maya held up her justice stick and threw it away.
***************************
When I woke up after passing out, I was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling.
The first infirmary.
And next to him is Maya, who is still angry.
“So. Why did you cut off contact for a fortnight?”
“That….”
“You should think carefully about your answer.”
The Justice Stick did not fall from Maya’s hand yet.
It makes my heart ache just by looking at it crackling like a test.
“Why did you leave your loved one alone for 15 days without any contact?”
Roll her head.
This could be my grave.
I was stupid too.
I really have to forget. How did I forget to contact Maya? To give a little excuse, I thought I had talked to Maya for granted.
“I tried contacting the Count’s family, but they said they didn’t know, so where did you go?”
… Oh my god, I never thought I’d even put in contact with the Count’s family.
“That…. What about the Count’s family… ?”
“… I just said I didn’t know.”
Looking at Maya’s reaction, it was obvious what she would have said at the Countess’s house.
What. It must have been the treatment of an abandoned child.
I’m not saying it’s wrong.
“I did it for Maya.”
I finally came up with an excuse.
If you have contacted the Countess, she is sure to communicate….
“Are you calling that an excuse now?”
“If I hadn’t disappeared, the same situation would have happened again.”
It must have been repeated many times.
It’s not that I’m afraid of it, it’s just that I’m afraid of causing a major accident that I can’t stand.
“Besides, I…. As you know now, even the family doesn’t protect you.”
This is also true..
It’s because I ran away from home in the first place.
I wouldn’t have left it like this if I had been properly permitted.
What. There’s no way I would have allowed it.
“Nico?”
“Yes Maya.”
“That is no excuse.”
“Yes?”
“I was able to contact you.”
Maya is right.
I went outside. That’s possible, but that’s not a reason why I can’t even contact you.
“That….”
“Haa…. That’s Okay. I feel like an idiot for doing this.”
“Maya!”
I turned around and grabbed Maya’s arm as she was about to leave.
I have to say something, but my mouth doesn’t come out easily.
“Let go of this.”
“I’m sorry. Maya.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“Everything. I’m really sorry I couldn’t contact you.”
“Is that all?”
“I’ll do whatever Maya wants.”
“Anything?”
“Yes. Anything.”
In an instant, more breathtaking battles than ever before came and went.
My heart trembled.
I don’t even know if I answered correctly.
“… Start with the Martial Arts Championship. I will tell you later.”
“Okay. I’m so sorry.”
“All right. Take care of yourself first.”
With those words, Maya left the infirmary.
Whoa.
What is this?
It was only after Maya left that I was able to find out how I was feeling.
The cold sweat flowing all over her body seemed like a charming act, and her body was so severe that her body couldn’t move properly, and the area burned with the Jeongeubong was charred.
He died with a body like this. Even if they win, it is a reservation to be eliminated from the preliminaries, let alone win the match.
Even if I drink the finest potion and go to the priest to receive treatment, it won’t be possible to cure it by tomorrow.
Although it was too late to visit the priest.
In short, there was no way.
Maya is a bit too much.
You must be aware of my physical condition, but to talk about winning as if it was natural.
Perhaps anyone in this situation would have given up.
If it wasn’t for me.
