“Let me suggest something.”

“yes?”

“If you have nowhere to go like now, come to me.”

“To you?”

“Yes, like I said, I want to make you my wife.”

“You didn’t actually hug me. I know you’re lying.”

“It’s the opposite, you idiot. I held back because I wanted to make you my wife.”

“!!”

I thought he was so kind that he didn’t touch me last night.

However, seeing as he brought up a topic he had been talking about for a long time, it seemed like he really wanted to make her his wife.

“I have no intention of getting married…”

In addition, you must serve 10 years in the military.

Even if you enlist in the military right now, in 10 years, you will age rapidly.

That’s not the end either.

I am not sure if I will be able to survive my 10 years of military service.

What if I wait so long and die?

Who will compensate the man for the time he spent waiting for me?

“Don’t make it complicated. Just remember what I told you. If you have nowhere to go, just knock on the door of the general store. I’ll be there.”

“Knock on the general store door…”

I put my uncle’s words into my heart, not my ears.

If you feel lonely like yesterday and have nowhere to go.

Instead of wandering around the alleys, I felt like I would remember what the man said at this moment.

“Because you’ll be there, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hehe, thank you.”

I felt like I was going to cry.

The reason I was afraid of being abandoned by the church was because I had nowhere to go.

But now, even if I am abandoned by the church, I have a place to go.

Because the uncle said he would accept me as his wife.

“I’ll go.”

I thanked the man once again and left the general store.

With a completely different mindset than when I came in.

In order to lead the church down the right path, he had to keep his mind straight.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Gwangnyeon eventually returned to the church.

Of course, it would have been possible to prevent him from returning to the church.

But no matter what I said, she was going to go back to the church.

Because that was the basis of the character Fran.

The denomination may be able to abandon the franc, but the franc cannot abandon the denomination.

That was the result I got from interfering with the scenario this time.

‘If I can’t do Gwangnyeon the way I want, the best way is to aim for the true ending.’

Actually, the true ending isn’t bad.

The process was so exhausting that I just thought it would be worth a try if there was a way to change it.

Since I knew that wasn’t the case, I gave up completely.

“In the end, the saintess will have no choice but to knock on the door of the general store.”

It’s just a matter of time.

If the scenario goes as it is, Gwang-nyeon will soon realize that his missionary work through prostitution was something the church ordered him to do.

A turning point arises here.

Depending on the user’s choice, Gwangnyeon can choose one of two options.

Officially revealing inappropriate things happening in the denomination and pointing out the problems.

Heading to the church to meet the ‘cult leader’ without disclosing the problem.

The first option was a scenario in which the cult leader secretly sent an assassin to try to kill her, and the second option was for her to meet the cult leader upon arriving at the cult and overcome a crisis that almost killed her.

‘No matter what choice you make, you need to use an item to reduce the severity of injuries.’

Whether you’re almost killed by an assassin, or you’re almost killed by the cult leader himself.

It was an unavoidable scenario for Fran to be betrayed by the church.

So you will come visit me soon.

Tired of being hurt and betrayed.

It seemed like the smell of wet tears was already coming from the door.

“There was a general store here?”

Fran returned to the church and some time passed.

Meanwhile, I was thinking about how to connect with Rebecca.

I had been working undercover for a few days to find out where Rebecca usually appeared and where I could meet her.

“Hey. Are you really going to go in here? It looks too dangerous…”

“Hey! Is there anything big going on? And doesn’t this store seem like a bit of a shady store?”

“Huh! Then shouldn’t I report it?”

“I have to go in first and find evidence. Stay out of the way. If you’re scared, I’ll go in first.”

“Now, wait a minute! You might get attacked, so defend yourself…”

Jump up!

There was a little noise last time, so I oiled it again and the door opened smoothly.

“Hey, man. Is this a general store?”

Jammin 1 came inside out of curiosity and asked me a question.

“It’s a general store.”

“Are you sure you are selling it after officially reporting it? Isn’t it like an illegal black market or something like that?”

Jammin’s confidence in asking that out loud is astounding.

Is this person insensitive to safety?

What if I’m a real criminal?

“there.”

Although I clicked my tongue on the inside, I moved my hand and told the kids to look at the wall of the general store.

Jammin follows my hand and checks the picture frames 1 and 2 hanging on the wall.

“Is this a merchant’s license? The expiration date is fine.”

“Could it be a forgery?”

“If you forge it, you’ll be in real trouble. I heard that even undercover dealers say it doesn’t exist and they don’t forge it.”

“Hmm! I don’t think it’s illegal. So, can we buy our stuff?”

I wanted to shove the honey chestnut on his forehead, but the sparkling jewel hanging around the guy’s neck caught my eye, so I relaxed my grip.

Looking upward, downward, or sideways, he was a nobleman who could not be messed with.

“…At your disposal.”

“Hey. I heard it’s done! Let’s take a look.”

“huh.”

They whisper among themselves about where they heard something and look around as if they are looking for something suspicious.

Even so, there was no way something worth reporting would come out in a trivial general store.

“Huh? I couldn’t buy this at the Ash General Store because it was sold out! There’s a lot of it here?”

“Hey! What if I buy it here and get scammed?”

“Rather, shouldn’t you buy more? You need evidence to report it here. But if this product is fake, you can report it.”

Jammin 2, who used to be timid, turns out to be surprisingly smart.

Jammin 1 seemed to make sense in Jammin 2’s words, so he checked to see if there were any items he couldn’t buy around him and greedily picked them up.

“I need to check, right?”

“Yep.”

Ash General Store is a large general store frequented by most academy students.

Perhaps because there were so many customers, they often ran out of products, which sometimes resulted in people not being able to purchase products even if they wanted to.

When Jammin walked quickly to the checkout counter to see if there were 1 or 2 cases like that, there were quite a few items in hand.

“Are these all genuine? Why are they so expensive? They’re cheaper than this at other general stores.”

“I guess they are selling it because it is genuine. And if it looks expensive, go there and buy it.”

“Tsk, if there’s even one problem with the item, I’ll report it.”

“If you make up a crime and force it to be reported, you will be accused of making a false accusation, so look at it carefully.”

Jammin 2, who was showing his smart side, kept his mouth shut as if he was scared, while Jammin 1, who was courageous, finished paying and left the general store with his friend.

I think this was the first time I sold general store items to general customers.

The only profit I made was by forcefully selling to Fran and giving Shine items before going to practice.

“It’s not a bad income.”

Those jammins would probably never think to report it after using the product.

Scrolls in reality are items handcrafted one by one by people.

As a result, the power was often uneven rather than average.

In the case of scrolls made by people, the damage fluctuates between 5 and 10, but the scroll I sold had the ability to inflict 10 damage unconditionally.

‘Because it is not simply creating an average value, but is set to the highest value. If you use it, you’ll never be able to buy another scroll, right?’

And my prediction was exactly right.

Jammin, who had disappeared while grumbling, reappeared a few days later, this time wandering around the general store with bright eyes.

“Is this also the case?”

“Let’s buy one.”

“How about this?”

“Hmm… you can easily get this at Ash General Store.”

“But what if this one is better?”

“…There’s no reason to live there. Let’s go!”

Jammin 1 and 2, who were having a deep conversation, were unable to lift things with both hands, so they repeatedly put down items on the counter and went back to pick them up.

How on earth do you have to have so much money to do something like that?

‘I think my life without money is more legendary than that kid’s.’

Of course, I have no intention of continuing to live a life poorer than that kid.

I hope to earn a lot of money in the future so that I can actually pursue a general store as a hobby.

“Can you take this with you? There is no delivery service at my house.”

When I asked them to pay, I was willing to do it, but I didn’t understand how they were going to return home with this.

Then the Jammins burst into laughter as if they had heard a funny joke.

“I thought this guy was a fun old guy, but he’s really good at making jokes.”

“That’s right. Why are we going through such trouble carrying this?”

“…..”

“Sebastian! Come in and take this!”

Jammin 2 shouted outside, and a man in a black suit appeared as he was waiting outside the store and lifted up the items.

“This is mine, so it’s in my mansion. This is hers, so it’s at her house.”

“Yes, miss.”

The man took the items and disappeared.

I watched in silence for a moment and realized once again that these Jammins were nobles.

‘That’s really how nobles are.’

The world they lived in was not a place for a commoner like me to join.

Why do the two Jammins who used to look so funny suddenly look great?

I unintentionally felt a little humiliated.

The fact that the people I would have to deal with from now on were all nobles sent goosebumps down my spine.

‘It could be dangerous if you make a mistake.’

Even such a tiny little Jammin was a commoner who could have his head blown off with just a lift of a finger.

Suddenly, while venting his anger about his birth and wondering why he was born as a commoner, he opened a store window.

‘I wonder if there won’t be any new defensive items that I can use.’

The store has always been focused on growing characters.

Since there is no danger to users in the game, doesn’t it make sense to come out with a product to protect users?

It was an unexpected product, and I had no choice but to close the store window in loneliness today.

“After all, making money is the best.”

The only comfort is money.

The meeting with Rebecca kept getting pushed back because Gwangnyeon was busy worrying about work, but I felt like I couldn’t put it off any longer.

He was going to make a lot of money by selling his unique equipment to Rebecca.

There was no way the Rebecca I knew would have ignored and turned away when she said there was a way to improve her skills.
