Chapter 244: The Knight Hated Dysfuctional Family (7)

“…Just how on earth did you tame a bee that can slaughter hundreds of bees single handedly?”

To the curious question of his disciple, Lee Han just slightly shrugged his shoulders.

“I didn’t do anything special. I just had a conversation with them the first time we met, gave them a potion the second time we met, and then they suddenly came to me and built a house in the forest near my house.”

“That’s ridiculous… You’ve just acquired the champion of the bee world…”

“That’s not right. I just acquired a friend.”

“…Not a servant?”

“…”

Buzz-!

Lee Han’s newfound smart bee friends brought him a glass of water to the seat where he was sitting. Looking at it, they were indeed very strong because with their small frame, they could carry a glass of water that weighed dozens of times their own weight with just two of them. It was truly a testament why they were called by many names by people.

“Ahem, It’s a friend.”

Taking the glass, Lee Han handed a fruit bundle to the servants, or rather, the bees, as a token of his gratitude.

Buzz-!

Sigh… they really liked it.

“F-fruit?”

“They eat everything well. They eat meat too, but they like sweet fruits like pineapple or mango the best. They have very sophisticated tastes…”

“…Don’t you find that strange, Instructor?”

“I just thought it was because they were young.”

“…”

“More importantly, why did you come without saying a word?”

Lee Han stopped showing interest in his new friends and made a curt gesture to Status Window. His tone was clearly filled with reprimand, so Derrick couldn’t help but flinched.

“A-are you perhaps angry, I-Instructor?”

“Angry my foot. What’s wrong with skipping class and hanging out with your girlfriend?”

“You’re really angry…”

“I said I’m not angry. I just think you’re an ungrateful brat.”

“…That;s what they called angry.”

Derrick lowered his head as he said that.

Wasn’t there a saying that someone knew their sins the best?

Derrick sweated a lot, feeling quite stabbed. But if he had to make an excuse…

“I- I’ve been quite busy, Instructor. I analyzed the situation based on the information you gave me, took care of the villains in the side chapters, worked with Prince Roen to defeat one villain, and also…”

“Dating?”

“…”

“You’re not denying it, huh? Keep doing that and the next thing you know you are a father.”

“I-I can barely hold her hands…”

“Are you really dating when I am working hard?”

“!?”

The world is really dirty. Why is everyone dating and developing pretty love except me?

I’m really sad…

I… .

Ah, this is why I hate Christmas.

Christmas was a time when the birth rate in the country increased rapidly, so Lee Han always tried to look at it favorably. But Lee Han especially hated when the 14th hit, the time when chocolate sales skyrocketed,

As he looked at Derrick with such a cold gaze, they guy hurriedly tried to change the subject and made excuses.

“A-anyway, I didn’t skip class for nothing, P-please believe me, Instructor…”

“Do you think I don;t know you well? Everytime you come to mee, it alway because either you need help or something to ask. If it’s not the case, you never come to me.”

“…”

“See. I knew this would happen.”

“I’m a trash…”

Derrick immediately slammed his head into the ground. Making excuses any longer would only highlight his own ingratitude.

…This guy, he’s been working hard.’

Even though he was scolding him, Lee han could see through the calluses on Status Window’s hands and the scars all over his body that he had been working hard.

Hmm, he had taken down a group with Blackie, hadn’t he?

Lee Han had heard that after joining forces with Blackie, Status Window had a fierce battle against a certain group. It was a group that was said to be the lifeline for the cultists.

A big corporation, huh?

In this world, the ones called a group were basically large corporations, or rather, megacorps, groups with enormous power. The amount of money they had was one of the reasons behind their prestige. But the other reason behind their prestige was because it was an organization that had a mercenary corps or combat organization that matched its prestige.

Because of that, it was quite admirable that two cadets had taken them down, and although Lee Han knew this fact better than anyone else, Lee Han decided not to praise them unless they themselves said who they fought against.

These guys… They are being considerate in the strangest things.

Well, It was probably because they knew that he had been very busy recently. While thinking so, Lee Han smiled with satisfaction. For some reason, it felt like the guys had grown a little.

Seems like I’m growing older.

Lee Han felt a sting in his nose for no reason. However, that sentiment did not last long.

It was because none other than…

“Instructor, you have met the head of the Offen family recently, have you”

“Huh?

“I-I know this question is a bit weird, but is that person… really alive?”

“…”

“By any chance, he wasn’t a zombie or something like that, right?”

“Lie down…”

“Huh?”

“Lie down with your head on the ground you bastard.”

“…”

“Standby.”

“S-standby!”

Status Window just turned a perfectly alive person into a zombie with his words, so Lee Han clicked his tongue.

I can’t praise him even when I want to…

That’s why people said that the mouth was the root of all evil.

“-He was supposed to die in the original work?”

“Y-yes…”

Derrick, who had been in the Wonsan Bombing stance for about 15 minutes, touched his head and made a sad face. However, Lee Han pretended not to see that and just tilted his head.

“…But he was fine the last time I checked?”

Lee Han thought of Iliad, whom he had met half a day ago. He was so fine that his clothes were soaked with paint because he was busy preparing for a new work.

But that guy was supposed to die?

“He was supposed to die ‘half a year ago,’ huh? Did you get it wrong?”

“I-I don’t think so? I remember it clearly. As far as I know, the head of the Offen family was supposed to have passed away half a year ago.”

“…What’s the sign?”

“D-do you believe me, Instructor?”

“You’re not the kind of person to talk nonsense.”

“T-thank you.”

“Thank you my foot. Spill it.”

“Uh, so….”

Derrick’s additional testimony was as followed.

“Of course, I didn’t see him die directly. I just know because it was mentioned in Arno’s dialogue.”

“Game Dialogue?”

“Yes.”

It was a dialogue where from the scene where Arno, a second-year student with a look of superiority, meets the female protagonist by chance and started talking to her.

-Are you talking about my father? He passed away shortly after I entered the academy. His chronic illness worsened…

“…After he passes away, Arno becomes the next head of the household, but he passes the position to the Sword Duke and joins the mercenary group founded by Garland to gain experience in the world. Later on, the mercenary group becomes the number 2 as they worked alongside Kunta, and he becomes a mercenary who makes a name for himself on the continent. This is the core story of the [Extra Heroes] The side story.”

“There’s such a side story?”

“Well, the game is something that our game company put a lot of effort into. So the content is really vast.”

“…”

“Instructor?”

“…No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it.”

“Huh? Oh, are you thinking why such a game appears from Korea? Well, that’s because the investors are really generous…”

“No, not because of that… That guy, the head of the Offen Family, he’s really healthy you know? How come he has a chronic disease?”

“??”

“I don’t think so…?”

This wasn’t an evaluation without any basis. Even if Lee Han wasn’t a doctor, it wasn’t hard for him to recognize a person’s health condition just by using his senses. Should he say that it was easy for him to distinguish between a healthy person and a patient?

In that sense…

“He was healthy enough to live a long life, so I don’t think he had a chronic disease.”

Lee Han was sure of it. His legs might have made him a little uncomfortable, but he was sure that he didn’t have any chronic diseases.

So…

“It’s either that you’re remembering wrong, or that something is wrong.”

“Something’s wrong?”

“Honestly, didn’t we make quite a big fuss?”

“…To be exact, it wasn’t us, but just you, Instructor.”

“Seeup! Schematics.”

Lee Han quietly spread his fingers. He was counting the accidents he had caused, starting from the events that had occurred over the past three years since he became a knight.

“I handed those guys to my older sister, killed some Magic Freaks and Slave Traders… Woah, just how many pests have I got rid of?”

“…”

“Ahem, well, it’s just minor things.”

“…Just what on earth have you been doing?”

“I just lived diligently.”

“……If you worked a little harder, a meteorite would fall.”

“But I saw it two years ago?”

“…”

“It was a bit hard to stop that.”

“What the…”

Status WIndow was really curious about Lee Han’s past actions, but Lee Han was only worried about the Offen family. If Status Window was correct, it meant that something had changed because of the big butterfly called himself. And because of that, Iliad, who should have died originally was alive.

It’s a happy thing, and it’s something that Lee Han should be proud of.

But,

‘Why do I get a bad feeling?’

Lee Han was convinced once again that Iliad didn’t have any chronic illness. But the wolf cub (in the game) died of a chronic illness. This was a story that didn’t make sense, so Lee Han tried to ask an additional question towards Status Window just in case.

“By any chance. That lady…”

However,

Baang-!

“…?”

…Before he could finish his question, he suddenly saw a huge lump of meat rolling around in front of him and had to stop talking.

“Giant?”

“I-instructor, Ku-Kunta hurts…”

“…”

Kunta, whose whole body was covered in wounds, gasped for breath and complained of the pain he felt. But Lee Han just looked at Derrick without worrying at him.

“…This God of Disaster!”

“…It’s my fault?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Lee Han made a rational judgement that if this guy hadn’t been yapping with his mouth today, this wouldn’t have happened.

“K- Kunta hurts…?”

In the meantime, Kunta made a sad face, expressing his sorrow that no one was taking care of him while he was sick.

This was why it was sad for foreigners to live in a foreign country.
