Shine was laughing under his breath, but couldn’t hold it back and burst into laughter.

Then he rolled his eyes, looked around, and then turned his gaze back to his hands.

Smirking~

Sniff sniff-

I think my baby smells good too, right?

I want to try it out quickly.

I wanted to try it like crazy.

However, the weekend driving range is already full.

Shine rushed to reserve a practice range, but there were no seats left until Monday.

Thanks to this, I had no choice but to use it properly until Monday.

The time of patience was painful and difficult.

But the times were worth it.

Shine didn’t even think about eating dinner and ran straight to the practice range as soon as class ended.

He heard his friend calling from behind, but it didn’t enter Shine’s head because it went in through one ear hole and out the other.

“Hahahaha!”

As soon as she arrived at the practice room, she took out a weapon from a large bag.

Side by side!

She kissed the shining weapon three times.

“I’m sorry~ You had a hard time staying in the bag, right? Oh, my baby! You had a hard time~❤”

Since it was an empty space, she threw away the dignity that nobles must maintain and made a short noise toward the weapon.

As if that wasn’t enough, he only lifted the weapon after wiping it off again with a well-oiled and shiny expensive silk handkerchief.

“Whew…Whew…”

Shine was confident that this equipment would overcome his limitations.

But that’s just her ‘guess’.

‘I’m sure, but what if that’s not the case?’

It is not surprising that equipment plays a very important part in determining grades.

And Shine was already equipped with equipment from his family that would not be inferior to others.

‘Actually, there’s no way we can set a new record just by changing the weapon.’

Considering that the weapons she was previously using were bad, it was nonsense.

‘But…is this child really special?’

I knew it as soon as I saw it.

He said he had to have this child.

Although it wasn’t his yet, I was planning on making it mine.

She raised a bow that was entirely red.

The bright red jewel hanging in the center was radiating meaningful energy.

Shine didn’t hesitate any longer.

Aim the bow at the target.

‘I will prove that this child is special!’

Woouuung-!!!

Shine’s will reaches the unique equipment ‘Hwaryongyeonhwa’.

The magical power of the awakened person, which can only be used by the chosen ones, resonates with ‘Hwaryongyeonhwa’.

and.

Grumble-!

An arrow filled with blue flame is created.

And the blue arrow was shot at incredible speed towards the target.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-!!!!!!!!!!! Kwaaang!!!!!!!!!

An arrow was fired with a tremendous roar.

A blue flame resembling a dragon struck the target.

The moment it touches the target.

A powerful explosion occurred like a flower blooming.

Deeudeeudeeudeuk-!

“Ouch!”

The practice room, which was resistant to most shocks, shakes.

The unexpected explosion makes my ears tingle.

Shine couldn’t hide his bewildered expression.

“…what’s this?”

Even though no technology was used, why does a bigger explosion occur than when technology was used?

Beep beep beep beep!

It was impossible to find where half of the targets had gone, and they were torn to pieces by the explosion.

It was made of a special material that absorbs shock, so it was my first time seeing it so badly damaged.

The good news is that even though it was broken, the power measurement results came back to see if it did its job.

[401]

For reference, she tried desperately to get over 400 over the past year and failed miserably.

Her final power record was [388] points.

Just by changing one weapon, the power increased by a whopping 13 points, reaching a level A power of 401 points.

Fight, fight, fight!

Tears fell from Shine’s eyes.

Although he only received an A grade in the power category, the important thing was that he broke the stagnant record.

“As expected, my guess was right.”

Wasn’t it because fate led her this way that she felt the urge to have this child?

If you work with this child, you will be able to become A-level.

No, Grade A may not be the end.

Wouldn’t it be possible to look at S-class?

“Right? I’m sure we can do it with you.”

She hugged the weapon tightly.

A feeling of gratitude towards the suspicious man welled up.

They lend a weapon like this for just a silver werewolf pelt?

This is ridiculous.

“Why were you trying to sell me this?”

After holding the weapon in his hand and checking its performance, Shine was filled with doubts and curiosity about the suspicious man.

With such an incredible weapon, it is much better to use it yourself.

If you use this weapon, wouldn’t you be able to easily kill monsters like werewolves?

But why did you hand over this weapon?

‘It’s not like I’m under a strange curse…’

I thought I should move up to A level as quickly as possible and ask for more support from my family.

Although he is a suspicious man, it is true that he did me a great favor.

Whether he was suspicious or not, the important thing was that he was someone who was helpful to him.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Okay, my back hurts.”

For some reason, cleaning seems to be more difficult than hunting monsters.

Cleaning was much harder on my body than I thought.

Still, I thought it was right to do it neatly once I did it, so I didn’t think of it as a hardship and just focused on cleaning in silence.

I focused so hard on cleaning that by the end of the third day, the space where people lived was completed.

‘I’m proud.’

Of course, I didn’t spend all three days cleaning the interior, but because there was a hole in the roof, it would be heavy if it rained, so I spent a lot of time doing repair work.

Still, I was proud that thanks to these efforts, the store was transformed into a space that resembled a general store, unlike the gloomy surroundings.

Of course, the current space was empty with no place to place the general store items, so there was a need to purchase a display stand.

‘I have to decorate the place where I will stay.’

I have no intention of decorating it in a grand way.

A bed, suitable cooking utensils to cook food, and a little exercise equipment?

In order to purchase them, all the money I had saved as a mercenary was quickly wasted.

I was saddened by my rapidly shrinking pocketbook and had a hard time adjusting to the high cost of living, so I spent many tearful times.

Still, in order to continue doing business with nobles here, it was necessary to adapt to the prices of this world.

However, no matter how much you think about it, it was true that the prices were too harsh for commoners.

The Academy clearly tells commoners, “Don’t live here!” This feeling was felt everywhere.

This was because the academy and the nearby village were originally created ‘for nobles.’

“Even from a distance, you can tell it’s a general store.”

As the store was deliberately chosen in a place with few people, the interior of the store was decorated to blend in with the surrounding atmosphere rather than being bright to match the surrounding scenery.

I thought that if my store was decorated in an unusual way, it would attract the attention of the wrong people.

‘Most students won’t even come here. Tsk.’

There was nothing bad about it since they had no intention of doing business with academy students in the first place.

Now the remaining problem is what to sell at the general store…

There was actually no problem with this part.

‘The things I own are enormous.’

How much do you think I’ve drawn over the past 14 years?

Since there was no way our store would be overflowing with customers, we concluded that it was possible to run a general store just by selling items selected from charging stores.

I deliberately chose a place with few people to do this.

“Now what’s left are the guests?”

As an adult, I got a part-time job at a convenience store recommended by a friend.

Recalling the memories of displaying items there, I filled them in neatly.

Just because it’s a general store doesn’t mean it has to have a lot of stuff, right?

In the first place, the only things I can sell are items from the lottery.

‘…I’m bored with just this, should I ask the customers to try gacha too?’

If you go to a stationery store, you will probably find at least one lottery machine.

When you insert 500 won or 1,000 won, a round capsule comes out through the hole.

I looked around to see if such a machine could be found here.

and.

“It’s like this, can you make it for me?”

Since I couldn’t find it, I decided to put in a separate request and have them make it for me.

“Hmm, it looks like there’s nothing you can’t make. But what do you use it for when you make it?”

“It’s just a children’s toy. They said they could make it, so I’ll ask for it. Ah! How long will it take to make it?”

“I think it will take about two days. This kind of thing is just gum.”

Perhaps because it is a place where you deal with nobles, technical skills are no joke.

He boasted that he would make it in just two days.

Although it was made of crude steel and the contents inside could not be seen, the drawing function was possible without any problems.

With the claw machine installed in the store, the general store I had hoped for was completed.

Honestly, I was happy.

“Time flies.”

I don’t even know when a week passed so quickly.

When I was working as a mercenary, time went by excruciatingly slow, so I guess people should live their lives doing what they want.

‘If you summon the kids and sell them special weapons, you will have enough wealth to eat and do nothing until you die. Then, from then on, you will live here peacefully as a wealthy commoner.’

I think what I can do for this world is to ‘summon’ the characters that appeared in the game.

What more can I do?

There is already a distant difference between them and me, between commoners and nobles, and I can’t raise them one by one like I did in the game.

‘No pain no gain!’

I also want to give the gift of rest to the life I have worked through to come this far.

‘It would be better to have a true commoner as a neighbor. Is it too much to ask for that in this town?’

I couldn’t hide my happy smile at the ‘my store’ I finally had.
