Chapter 410 – Chapter 410 Magic School Shutra (3-21)
“Are you famous Jeff?”
“… What?”
Jeff didn’t understand what I was saying, or he just looked at me with a blank expression.
I spoke to Jeff again.
“Are you that famous jerk?”
“You you… Ji, now me, to me….”
Jeff gritted his teeth, but seemed too excited to answer.
Looking at Jeff’s behavior earlier, I could clearly see how he had treated commoners and how he had been treated.
He had been looked down upon and praised all his life, so there was no way he could stand the wordsheheard from me.
Jeff trembled and barely opened his mouth.
“You… Are you crazy? Fuck, do you dare to talk to me like that?”
“What, is there anything you can’t do?”
“What? What are you Big!”
I put my hand on Jeff’s shoulder and began to press on.
Even though I was just pressing it to the level of his shoulder massage, I couldn’t get out of it properly and just glared at me.
“You, you bastard! If I tell my dad, nothing like you!”
“Dad? Count Potts?”
“This fucking bastard… Count? Aren’t you supposed to be the Count?”
“But… Was it like that?”
“Okay… Even now, I’m going to have a good time! If you’re polite….”
I whispered quietly so that Jeff, who was trying to get out of my hand somehow, could hear him.
“There is no need to use the expression ‘count’ to the deceased, right?”
“… What?”
“What if I told Professor Sonya what you just said?”
“What did I say? Uh, what do you mean?”
I laughed and whispered.
“Didn’t you curse at the dean a while ago?”
“… Uh?”
Jeff dazed for a moment, then he began to make a face that reminded him of what he had said.
Can’t recall Because I didn’t say that in the first place.
“If you said you cursed the dean, what would Professor Sonya do?”
“Where are you playing tricks! When did I say that!”
“Who will the dean and Professor Sonya listen to?”
“This… Wow!”
Now, it seems that the judgment of the situation is correct.
Jeff will know who to trust from the way I am treated by the dean and Sonya.
Jeff was not easily accepting the humiliation he received from me, as his temperament showed.
But he just couldn’t accept it easily, and Jeff, who finally understood the situation, summoned the bright red earthworms on his forehead and barely digested his humiliation.
“You… You… What do you want?”
“What do you want? It’s simple….”
After letting go of his shoulder, I brushed it off and smiled.
“Be my shidabari for a while.”
..
..
Jeff didn’t just bow his head right from the start and give in to my threats.
Naturally, there was a backlash, and the form of that backlash was expressed in abusive language.
However, the swear words eventually became a weakness that filled Jeff’s leash.
“Remember. You just have to follow along while traveling. Understand?”
“Seed… Fuck… Ah Okay.”
“If you curse one more time… I really don’t see it.”
“Ah, okay… Say….”
In fact, I even tried to get Jeff to say honorifics, but I decided to skip it because I decided that my image could be in trouble if I went that far.
More than anything, I didn’t want to hear respectful words from a dwarf who looked over forty.
If he had grown fat and had a beard, he would have looked like a dwarf.
‘No, wouldn’t it be much easier to change the color of the body to green and turn it into a goblin?’
I guess I’ll just have to paint the body.
“Okay, then I’ll tell you what to do from now on.”
“….”
Jeff expressed his displeasure by grinding his teeth, but he didn’t talk back.
Most of the things I said had to do with the dean.
It was a story that if the dean needed something by his side, whether it was eating or moving, he would come and take care of it right away.
Simply put, it meant to take care of the dean.
“Now it is time for dinner. Take care of the dean’s meals.”
“What? Me, shouldn’t I have a meal too? After eating….”
“Could that be the last meal in this world?”
“It’s great… Seed….”
It looked like he was swearing, but I couldn’t hear it, so I decided to pass it on.
“Well then….”
That was the moment when he was about to head to the dean with Jeff.
‘… I thought you’d show interest. It’s faster than I thought.’
=====
Karin Brandrup
[Political power], [Obsession with talent], [Psychological insight], [Perfectionism], [Boldness]….
=====
The window of the temperament beyond the carriage where Jeff and I were standing came clearly into my eyes.
No matter how you think about it, the temperament window was a scam.
Not only is it able to grasp all of the other person’s tendencies and abilities, but it also makes stealth impossible.
Once it became clear that Karin Brandrup was interested in me or Jeff.
Or maybe you both care….
Well, if you leave it alone, it will come to you on its own.
Thinking so, I took Jeff and left the place where Karin remained.
..
..
Silk road.
It was a word that meant the way we were going to the Levin Kingdom.
Count Potts was the best trading city in the Levin Kingdom, and between such a trading city and the kingdom, numerous wagons made a trade route that could move.
This is because smooth logistics movement is an important factor that can be said to be the foundation of a nation.
And the wide and finely paved road for smooth logistics movement was the trade route, the Silk Road we are currently moving on.
Thanks to the Silk Road that connects the Countess of Potts and the Kingdom of Levin, the time required to travel by carriage was reduced to two days.
And what filled the void of those two days was Belus, the satellite city of the Earl of Potts.
Belus is a city that connects the middle of the trade route, so it doesn’t feel as grand as the Potts county, but it has built walls and has the basics of a city.
As it was a city connecting trade routes, inns and warehouses occupied the interior, and there were far more travelers and merchants than residents who roamed the streets.
After moving through such a flat Silk Road, we arrived at Belus and heard an explanation from the delegation.
“If we leave early tomorrow, we will arrive at Levin Kingdom before sunset.”
Finally, the long-awaited kingdom of Levin was right in front of his eyes.
When we arrive in Levin, the delegation will naturally disband, and we will be formally invited to the Brandrup family.
In other words… It meant that today was their last chance.
“Sung Soo-ho… Seed? No, Ho, what should I call you?”
“Since you’re from Shutra, would Seong Su-ho be a good student?”
“I know a really nice bar here, would you like to go with me?”
Haha… I’m tired so….”
I politely apologized to the nobles who bothered me and ran to the inn prepared by the delegation.
Due to the nature of the luxury lodgings, you can dine inside, so I didn’t want to experience being popular surrounded by nobles.
[Your popularity soared in one day.]
‘It’s much better to be surrounded by kids at school… All nobles are annoying.’
The reason students approached me in Stra was because of my skills, but the reason nobles approached me here was because they wanted something.
‘Anyway, none of the nobles here seem to be able to help me….’
But when I entered the room, there was nothing to do.
‘Unlike Count Potts, there wasn’t much to see…. Shall I sleep?’
[Are you not meeting Luna Stadtfeld?]
‘You saw the aristocrats rushing at you like crazy. It’s embarrassing when we meet and get caught and gossip about it.’
[….]
I thought there was no need to put my greed in Luna’s future.
It’s okay if we meet as much as we want at school.
It was the moment I lay down on the bed and tried to fall asleep.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
A light knock on the door opened her eyes and opened her mouth.
“Who are you?”
(It’s me.)
“Yes?”
Hearing the voice, he was startled and rushed to the door, then opened it immediately.
Luna, who was wearing the Stra uniform, looked up at me, and she had her expression of surprise.
“It’s a blink…. What door are you opening so hastily?”
Haha… Surprised by my sleep….”
“Did you really try to sleep without changing clothes?”
“… Right?”
“Oh My God….’
Luna sighed in despair and began to enter my room naturally.
Luna, who entered her room as if it were her own, started nagging her as I helped her dress mine.
“Change your clothes and go to sleep. It’s not good for sleeping, and your clothes get wrinkled.
“How about it, if you shake it off the next day, everything will disappear?”
“I am not a child….”
Luna shook her head and laughed.
After checking the wrinkles on my clothes, Luna started telling me about the business.
“Can I sit down and talk to you for a minute?”
“Then.”
I immediately brought her Luna to her table, pulled out her chair, and sat her down.
After sitting side by side like that, Luna didn’t talk about her business, and she just stared at me in silence.
I waited for Luna’s silence, and Luna began to open her mouth as if determined with her firm expression.
“There is a city about five days north of Belus.”
“City?”
“Yes, in the past… It used to be a territory, but now there is a place that has become a commercial city owned by Levin Kingdom.”
“….”
It used to be a territory, but now it has become an ordinary commercial city.
Considering Luna’s past I knew, there was one place that I could roughly guess.
The place where the Stadtfeld family was located.
It seemed that the territory that had been punished for treason had been turned into a commercial city after being transferred to the possession of the kingdom.
When I was silent, Luna smiled bitterly and opened her mouth, as if she had sensed that I had already understood.
“If it’s okay… Even if it’s not now, whether it’s next year or the year after that… Would you like to come with me?”
“….”
I went behind Luna where she was sitting and hugged her, closing her eyes and muttering.
“No.”
“… Yes?”
I heard Luna’s trembling voice, and I buried her face in Luna’s hair and smiled at her.
“Let’s stop by during this trip. Of course I’ll come back later….”
“… Thanks.”
With my eyes closed, I could feel Luna’s outstretched palms cupping her face, her warm soft lips against hers.
