episode_0122

A civil servant who seems to have a strict personality.

His wrinkled face and sharp eyes made it possible to guess that he did not have an easy personality.

“Of course. That’s what we have to do.”

“If you had dug into my whereabouts when I was 16, I think you would also know what panties I wore today.”

“That’s because I’m not interested. Haha.”

I feel confident that if it was a subject of interest, I would be able to find out even that.

“So… what are the results?”

I asked with anxiety that I might be in a situation where I would have to receive a medal and enlist in the military.

I have no intention of being subjected to something like that, but I hoped that, if possible, we would have a relationship of mutual assistance rather than conflict with the government.

“I know what you’re worried about. And you don’t have to worry. In fact, the Duke took care of everything without me having to do anything. I just finished it appropriately so that people like us wouldn’t notice anything strange when we see it. That’s about it.”

My sleepy mind was completely relieved by the official’s confirmation.

Doesn’t it mean that they not only turned a blind eye to it, but also took care of the problematic part?

“You’re saying there’s no way I’m going to enlist at this age.”

“It’s unfortunate that the country is missing out on the talent it needs, but I don’t think there’s any need to force it and ruin the relationship.”

It seemed like he meant to maintain the current relationship and build the relationship by receiving help, rather than ruining the relationship by forcing him to enlist.

“Oh, and I feel personally respected.”

“…Respect?”

You feel respect from me?

I was embarrassed by the official’s unexpected words and asked back, and he said:

“Yes, when he was young, he helped eliminate monsters as a mercenary, and not only did he consistently support the academy, but now that he is retired, he supplies good items to students at a general store. I can’t trace where he got the items from. It didn’t work out. LOL!”

“…..”

Could it be that this guy already knows what color panties he is wearing and is just pretending not to know?

“It is not common for someone to willingly provide support to others from a young age. But Suhan was different. He has consistently donated money to the Academy since he was young. This is something that deserves full respect.”

“…..”

“I hope you don’t feel too burdened by receiving the medal this time. Suhan fully deserves it.”

Even if I tell you not to put pressure on yourself, does that really make sense?

The reason we have continued to support the Academy is because there is another purpose.

Because I have to come here later and develop SSR characters.

In order to do that, we started because we needed to have a good relationship with the academy.

In order for a commoner of no particular significance to get involved with kids and not get criticized, he had to have a clear identity, and to do that, sponsorship was a very effective and convenient way to appeal.

“Hmm, it seems my words weren’t very effective. Now, let me tell you about the benefits you can receive from the medal.

The civil servant who embarrassed the person with a compliment left the general store after enthusiastically explaining the conveniences that could be received with the medal.

and.

“May I ask what you do?”

It seems that the aggro that the knights had attracted remained and made the local residents curious about me.

That curiosity eventually led to a visit to our general store.

“As you can see, it’s a general store.”

“Why would drivers visit the general store owner? He must have something.”

“Please talk to your neighbors instead of hiding it from each other.”

“Are you by any chance a really great person? Were you hiding your identity?”

It seems that in the imagination of the residents, I am a person whose identity is hidden.

My head was pounding from their unwanted attention.

“What kind of person would run a general store in a place like this?”

“No, but the knights came rushing in and said something like this with their swords?”

Jumin imitated how he made a sword with the letter ㅅ earlier.

“It was totally cool.”

“Great…I wish I could get one too.”

“Look, I don’t know why you’re so curious about other people’s house circumstances. It’s something you don’t need to know, so don’t pay attention to it. I’m not the great person you think I am.”

Why do I make trouble with my mouth?

I had no intention of explaining anything or having a conversation with them.

“Please don’t interfere with other people’s business, and everyone please leave, right?”

Of course, the resident was offended by my cold attitude and spoke crookedly.

“In all the time I’ve been around here, I’ve never seen a guest in this house. What kind of guest is that?”

“People are so heartless.”

“Are you saying you don’t want to talk to people like us?”

At first, he was wary of whether I was really a great person, but when he told me I wasn’t, he immediately changed his attitude.

“Are you dissatisfied with the fact that the store I own is filtering out customers?”

“Huh! If we’re neighbors, we can get along well with each other.”

“Since when do you pretend to know me? If you don’t leave, I’ll call security for disrupting business.”

The residents got annoyed with my attitude and left.

The reason he didn’t misbehave was probably because he was worried about the knights.

Only after they disappeared did the general store finally regain peace.

“Ha, this is it.”

A general store with no customers and flying around is the scene I was hoping for.

“I’ve been running so hard these days.”

need a break

The kids will be busy for the time being as it is exam period.

When the kids are busy, it’s my time to rest.

‘I really need to do some healing for a while.’

So I made a promise to myself and sat down leisurely in my chair.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Do it.”

“…Rebecca.”

I promised myself that I would heal, but Rebecca showed up and said ‘Do it’ as if she wasn’t interested in my work-life balance.

What was held out in front of me were high heels.

Rebecca was looking at the unique equipment, which was well maintained and sparkling like new, with burning eyes.

“This is the bonus I received this time. What can I do with this?”

Rebecca put down her high heels for a moment and handed me the bag she had brought with her.

Perhaps it was brought to me as reinforcement value.

“No need. I’ll just do it.”

Anyway, the kids paid too much for it, so the store’s billing window was so full that it seemed like it was going to explode.

There was no need to receive compensation from Rebecca to strengthen it.

I was about to take the high heels, but Rebecca avoided my hand and took the high heels.

“Where is that? I don’t like free stuff.”

“Why don’t you like it? Do you think we can’t do this much between us?”

“Hmph, what are we doing?”

What’s going on?

I am strangely speechless.

It seems like the only way to describe our relationship is ‘more than friends but less than lovers.’

I can’t think of any other appropriate words.

“You said you would do it for me, but then you did it for the other kids first, so why is our relationship so special?”

“Ah, so you were dissatisfied with that?”

Now that I think about it, the gazes they were looking at me after looking at the kids’ equipment were quite stinging.

‘I was so distracted that I forgot.’

It seems that Rebecca was a bit disappointed about that part.

“It just so happened that I ended up like that. How can you refuse when someone asks me to bring it to you? If you’re so sad, should I at least give you a kiss?”

“No thanks?”

Rebecca snorted happily and continued.

“You can do that later, and you can do this. The kids were so excited to see what they were doing, so I wanted to do it too.”

“Of course you should. Don’t worry.”

It wasn’t anyone else, it was Rebecca, and she couldn’t do worse than the other kids.

“How far do you go…no.”

“huh?”

I was going to ask how far the reinforcement would go, but I changed my mind.

“Leave this to me for two days.”

“Two days?! That’s too long…”

“You can’t last even two days?”

Considering that the kids were so turned on by the reinforcement, I thought it would be better to ask them to hand over the weapons and do the reinforcement on my own.

Wouldn’t that be a lot more comfortable than being anxious while watching the reinforcement go up and down over and over again?

‘The kids here have never done anything like reinforcement before, so the stimulation was too strong.’

From what I saw, Rebecca and Arianne had just as strong a competitive spirit, so I thought the response would be huge.

Ariando is obsessed with strengthening, almost to the point of addiction, and it would be difficult for Rebecca to handle it if she showed that behavior as well.

‘Moreover, he has a strong attachment to his equipment, so he’s not the kind of kid who will just back down. You’ll be incredibly tired. It’s obvious even without looking.’

The Rebecca I know would never try to go back until the round of 12.

Haven’t you already been caught once for Ganghwa and even had to go to the security station?

I wanted to refuse to continue to suffer.

“Two days… two days… can I survive two days without this child?”

Rebecca was extremely depressed about having to part ways with her high heels.

I looked at him crookedly and eventually said something.

“Are you filming a drama by yourself?”

These words must have been incomprehensible to Rebecca.

“Drama? What is that?”

“It’s only been two days, so it’s not like he’s going to be that depressed. It’s not like I’m stealing him.”

I feel bad because I feel like I’ve become a bad person.

“It’s only two days! That means you won’t be able to talk while shining your shoes every morning and evening for two days. How important a ritual that is!”

Did you do that to him?

For some reason, it was so clean that it didn’t feel like it had been used…

It seems like they cherish their unique equipment more than you can imagine.

Even so, the unique equipment will not be strengthened.

‘Strengthening is not something that can be done through pampering, but only through my own abilities.’

I told Rebecca, who was filming a sad and sorrowful drama alone, to let her know that this was not a filming location.

“I’m going to leave it to you anyway. You said you want to strengthen it. Don’t you want to do it?”

No matter how much you don’t want to break up, you won’t have the option of not strengthening your relationship.

Sure enough, Rebecca became sullen at my blunt words and responded.

“No! I will.”

“So don’t waste your emotions on useless things and give it to me.”

“Ugh…no! Our baby, get taken away…!”

“Ugh! Stop making weird noises. Put some pressure on your hands! Ugh, why are you so strong?!”

Rebecca did not relax her grip on her high heels until the end.

“I heard you saw kids walking around with shiny equipment. Are you going to just wear your high heels? I’m sure she wants to sparkle just like the other kids, right?”

“!!!!!”

The moment when I was compared to another child’s unique equipment.

Shocked, Rebecca relaxed her grip.

“…I have to see it, I will definitely see it!! I’m going to brag that my child is the prettiest!!”

Rebecca grabbed both of my hands viciously.
