“Boss, please listen calmly.”

According to Ariando’s explanation, this trip was a filial piety trip in its own way, and was designed for my comfortable healing.

‘Hyodo~?’

Do these people even know what filial piety is?

He tried to sway my mind by saying that he knew what I was worried about, that what I thought would never happen, and that all the annoying and inconvenient work would be done by my employer.

Of course, those words didn’t shake my heart.

“I’m not going.”

What am I going to do there?

Seeing natural scenery?

I’ve already seen that to the point where I’m sick of it while working as a mercenary.

Rather, I like the scenery of Academy City better.

Green mountains and trees?

If you miss it, let’s go see the waterfall.

You will feel peace of mind and body.

Shine seems to have sensed that Ariando’s words are not working, so he adds something.

“You just need to come physically!! We will do all the other preparations. “You just have to come and have fun?”

“Shall I call Teacher Rebecca too? “You’re close with the teacher.”

“It’s no use talking about it for a hundred days. Give up. “I won’t let it go.”

Even if you appeal with emotion, it will have a negative effect.

“Ah, that’s too much.”

“Don’t you think it’s strange in the first place? You guys can just have fun with yourselves. Why am I involved? And in the first place, I didn’t have to go far, this was the healing space itself. “It’s more tiring to get out of here.”

Why do I hate having so many customers?

Rather than a place to work, this is a place where I spend my life after retirement.

‘Just being here is healing, so why go out and buy something and go through all the trouble?’

In the first place, I had no intention of making money through a general store.

However, because of Rebecca, I was able to make money through the general store.

‘It’s a honey business where all you have to do is take an order and deliver.’

For reference, the academy asked if they could provide items in the same way next semester.

Perhaps because Ash General Store was going bankrupt, the academy needed another way to provide goods to students.

Although it was unexpected, it was true that this situation was overwhelmingly favorable to me.

And thanks to being able to collect a certain amount of money from the Academy, there was no longer a need for customers to come to the general store.

‘This place where I can make a lot of money is truly my vacation spot and paradise.’

The children, who had already heard that this was their own utopia, puffed out their lips.

“But this is home. “Healing through travel feels different.”

“If you want healing that much, you’ll go there alone. Why am I going with you guys?”

There is no way you can heal with so much burden on you.

The kids were dumbfounded by my direct words.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was silence as all four people kept their mouths shut.

Because I heard such nonsense, I was a little worried that I had rejected it too harshly.

Isn’t this a very sensitive age?

“Why are you so sad? “You know I’m basically this kind of guy.”

I’ve never treated you kindly in the first place, so shouldn’t this kind of reaction be normal?

“I knew it would be difficult to persuade, but I didn’t expect that I would be rejected so firmly.”

Shine says sullenly.

Ariando also spoke while crying.

“I prepared a lot. I can make it really fun for you. “I was really trying to give you a boost!”

“I even wore competition underwear for you… town!”

“What are you talking about, these guys!”

The other children seemed to be hurt because they had prepared to help me in their own way, but were rejected.

I covered Fran’s mouth with my palm while he was saying something strange and sighed deeply.

The kids’ eyes are moist and bright as they look at me.

I knew right away what these guys were doing.

“Did you think I was going to say that I would go with you because I was sorry for making that face? Yeah, I’m not going. “There is no way.”

The once beautiful eyes, as if starlight had been embedded in them, die in an instant.

“Sweet, this doesn’t work.”

“Ay! It didn’t work the second time either. “This was such a secret tactic that it should have worked.”

The children become anxious.

And Bain came out in front of the kids.

“It’s my turn now, right?”

“Please do it! “Now there’s only you!”

“What are you going to do again?”

It seemed like each person had come up with their own method.

Shine was probably asking for a direct favor, and Ariando was acting pitiful.

And Franc, who used the most absurd method, must have been the winning underwear.

What remains is Vine’s method.

As I stared at him wondering what method he would use, Baine spoke in his characteristic cold voice.

“Since you don’t like healing, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go for work purposes.”

“Are you going for work?”

“yes! Strengthening business trips. Please, please.”

In the end, is it Ganghwa again?

“This time, both I and Ariando want to make it to the round of 12. “I will prepare the travel expenses with all my sincerity.”

It was an honest and honest offer, and it was also the most attractive offer I have ever heard from children.

Among the kids here, who is the most mature and smart? Wouldn’t it be Vine?

At least Baine seemed to be ready to start bargaining, so we decided to talk a little more.

It was because I had an intuition that it would be a mutually beneficial time.

＊ ＊ ＊

“Hello, Gabrielle.”

“… Yes, Vine. “What’s going on?”

After the exam, the academy was noisy with students crying here and there.

It was also a phenomenon that Class A could not avoid.

Mistakes you made, improvisations you couldn’t remember at the time, etc.

The students cried out as their regrets gathered together.

In the midst of all this, he must have been embarrassed to talk to Gabriel, even though we didn’t have a very close relationship with him.

“Are you embarrassed because he suddenly started talking to you?”

“It’s a little surprising, but it’s okay. “It could be because we are in the same class.”

“I was just wondering if we could have a chat. “I have something to tell you.”

“What should I say?”

“huh. But can I talk about it somewhere else instead of here? “There are too many people listening here.”

The moment I actually spoke to Gabriel, many of the kids in the class were paying attention to me and Gabriel.

Ariando was a child who received attention because of his skills and family, and while I received attention because my mother was a commander, Gabriel was a child who received attention for his honest character and skills.

In particular, there are many female fans who follow Gabriel.

Her juniors called her their older sister and created a fan club.

“i get it. “I’ll be back for a bit.”

“Come back, Gabriel.”

“Have a safe trip.”

After asking for understanding from the friends I was talking with, Gabriel followed behind me.

As we entered the empty training ground, our friends welcomed us.

“Come on!”

“I brought you here. Hello, Gabriel. “Is this your first time talking separately like this?”

“welcome.”

They were Ariando, Shine, and Franc.

“hmm… Can you tell me what the situation is now? “I thought you wanted us to talk alone.”

Gabriel was confused, perhaps because he didn’t know there were other people around.

“Ah, that’s a mistake. “I wanted us to talk amongst ourselves without the rest of the class knowing.”

“Is it by any chance something serious?”

Perhaps because he spoke in a meaningful voice, Gabriel asked with a serious expression on his face.

“no. At least it will be good for you. “You will get something valuable that you can’t get anywhere else.”

“Getting something valuable?”

“Ha~ That’s right. My uncle told me to bring you. My uncle is a playboy. flirt!”

Gabriel looks confused.

On the other hand, the other children’s expressions were extremely distraught.

“Boss, I didn’t see it that way, but I think you couldn’t be careful.”

Both Ariando and Shine seemed uncomfortable.

“Fran, are you really okay? “I think the number of women will continue to increase like this. Shouldn’t we crack down on this?”

“… “I’m not in a position to do that.”

Fran declared that she would be discharged from the military after 10 years and become his uncle’s wife.

Gabriel was the only one here who didn’t know that fact.

The problem is that Fran is not in a position to make a loud noise to the man.

“Seriously, I can never find a wife like you, but you’re always ticking. “You were so bad.”

“no. Don’t say that. “It’s my lifesaver.”

“Is it all it takes to be a lifesaver?”

“It was really valuable help to me. “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to laugh and talk to you like this.”

“????”

As I was calling someone over and talking about something I couldn’t understand, Gabriel eventually couldn’t stand it anymore and intervened.

“Didn’t you call me because you had something to tell me?”

“oh! sorry. “I called him and he just said strange things.”

“Now let me explain.”

With the kids who came to their senses later, I explained why I had called Gabriel.

The source of the shiny weapons that became a hot topic among the kids in the class.

He had called Gabriel to offer to take him there.

“Instead, the location must be kept secret. “It’s an absolute secret, especially from other kids.”

“Like Ariane said, I hope you don’t tell me where you got it like Shine did.”

“Hmm, that sounds strange.”

“huh?”

“I don’t really need any equipment. No, I need something, but I don’t want to buy it from a suspicious place.”

“It’s not a suspicious place.”

“It’s a suspicious place, at least to me. “If I tell the family, they will give me good equipment, but I don’t understand why I have to buy equipment from a strange place.”

“Because the performance is good! No one can get something like this. You know that.”

I and the kids were a little embarrassed because we didn’t know that Gabriel would come out like this.

“Don’t you remember causing trouble for other kids by asking because they wanted it?”

“that’s right. It’s an opportunity you don’t get easily. “You’re saying you can get something as great as the rest of us?”

“If you have any doubts, would you like to take a look at mine?”

I thought Gabriel was saying that because he didn’t really know the value of the weapon.

If you see my proud magic wand up close, you will think differently.

With great determination, I held out the magic wand in front of Gabriel.

Even though it’s only 10 lessons, I’m sure your thoughts will change when you see such a lovely child.
