[ Recorded the hidden achievement ‘Your country sucks’ ]

[To celebrate the first achievement of a hidden achievement, we are giving away 1,000,000 Silver.]

Huh? You’re suddenly giving me a million won like this?

No, but what is that? It’s a hidden achievement.

What the fuck, I felt it from the beginning that your country is shit, but you really are a fucking idiot when it comes to naming things.

I sigh as I look at the names of achievements that make me think I need to learn some naming sense from whoever created them.

But isn’t the hidden achievement something that just passes without a bad ending if it doesn’t actually happen?

It was for nothing that I just bought it and dug a grave.

No, but Lina, why is she doing that?!

Clearly, he was a very friendly guy in the game, and no matter what crazy things Estelle said, he would accept them and mediate them!

Suddenly, he took a stance to fight openly and seriously… Seriously, why is everyone acting like this?

“Anyway, for that reason, I’m just going to take the test like Theo said.”

“Then what happens to the one you agreed to listen to with me?”

“I never promised to listen with Lina. Lina just decided to listen with me. You can listen to the class or not. It’s your choice.”

It feels like a rather sharp and cold reaction.

No, you guys should be friends with each other without me, but is this the right atmosphere? Is it right?

They just try to fight whenever they get a chance, and they get impatient because they can’t get ahold of each other.

I’m starting to get a little confused now as to whether this is really something I can get into.

If Lina can’t keep her balance properly, it’s just the end, but no matter how much I look at it, the Lina I see in front of me right now doesn’t look like the one in the game, so I’m worried.

I’m worried about Lina because she’s my favorite character! It’s not something like that, but I’m worried that my daily life will be blown away, my favorite character and all, damn it…!

“First of all, class is over, and there are things I won’t be listening to from now on. Shall we all go get something to eat? I’ll pay for speaking badly about Theo’s hometown, today.”

“Ah, well, that’s not really necessary, but I can’t stand getting it for free.”

I’m not the type of person who normally asks for favors from women, but I can’t stand it when a rich woman pays for everything.

“Then let’s go, Theo. Iris.”

Although he called Iris, he was worried about what to do with Estelle, who still didn’t call Lina’s name directly.

Honestly, if I can’t keep the balance even if I put it in the middle, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to step forward and take care of it.

Even if he was your favorite character, seeing him in person, his aristocratic ideology is so strong that it seems like you wouldn’t be able to become close to him.

Ugh, what should I do… .

“Excuse me, can I come with you? I’m sorry about earlier, Estelle… !”

While I was wondering what to do, Lina came to apologize to Estelle first.

Oh? So you’re a middleman?

“… Well, I’d like to spend today with just the three of us. Let’s talk about that next time.”

However, Estelle narrows her eyes and refuses Lina’s request, as if she has no intention of accepting it.

Well, if it was me who was shooting, then it wouldn’t matter. If it was Estelle who was shooting, then I couldn’t take care of Lina, so in the end, the three of us went to the restaurant together.

“Oh, I feel really uncomfortable with that woman.”

After arriving at the restaurant and being shown to a seat, Estelle’s complaints begin to pour out.

“No, I didn’t like it from the beginning, but you keep doing things I don’t like? And then you apologize in the end and make me look like a bad person. Is that right, Theo?!”

When you see Estelle getting angry and swearing, it feels like she’s asking for comfort rather than being really angry, so she just looks cute.

Huh? You think she’s cute? Did you just think Estelle was cute?

Crazy, Theo. Control yourself. Estelle is Iris.

“That’s right, Estelle, you’ve worked hard. So you don’t want to become friends with Lina?”

“None! Not at all! Completely! At first, I thought I’d be friends with her because she looked pretty, but her personality is completely different. Ugh.”

Your personality is completely different from one another. Is that really the case?

“It wasn’t as bad as a dog car, was it?”

“Oh my, there are things like this that only women know. What should I say, it’s like a feeling that only women have that men can’t!”

Is it okay to judge people by their feelings?

But I decided not to say it out loud.

There’s no reason to scratch and make a fuss for no reason.

“How was Iris? Was Lina not that great in Iris either?”

“Honestly, Iris wasn’t that great either, right?”

When I speak to Iris first, Estelle also adds a word.

“Yeah, well. It didn’t feel good.”

Oh, so even Iris feels that way?

“I felt strongly that he wanted to become close to me, but I felt a bit burdened.”

“That’s right, it was really burdensome! And you were also rude to Theo!”

As you calm down Estelle, who is whining and getting angry, and Iris, who is quietly saying what she wants to say, the food you ordered starts to arrive one by one.

“Oh, this steak is so good! And this potato salad! It’s no joke?”

The steak, which was oozing with oil, was served with sauce to dip in, and the quality of the meat was no joke. Every time I chewed it, it melted in my mouth, filling my mouth with a smooth sensation.

The sour taste of the steak sauce, which seemed to be made with balsamic, washed away any greasiness that might have been felt, and the potato salad eaten at the end perfectly finished it off with a sweet taste.

“Wow~ So delicious!”

“Theo, you really enjoyed it.”

“You’re so cute. Hehe.”

“Oh, oh… I feel like I’m the only one who ate it, but Estelle and Iris, hurry up and eat it too… !”

It feels strange because I feel like I’m a mukbang YouTuber with two people staring at me while I eat.

Ahem, but I’m not the type of person who enjoys food enough to be a mukbang YouTuber or something. This is embarrassing for no reason.

“The meat is definitely of good quality.”

“The Academy Cafeteria is famous for selling good quality food at low prices.”

The academy seems like a really great place.

Sell armor and weapons cheaply, and sell good quality food cheaply.

Wow, if I bring my parents just once, I won’t have any more wishes.

“Outsiders are not allowed to enter the academy, right?”

Suddenly, he thinks of his parents and asks Iris.

“Normally, it is not allowed, but there are times when it is a festival period or when parents can visit. During those times, outsiders are allowed to enter as well.”

“Oh! That’s great. I want to invite my parents next time.”

“Our Theo, you are such a filial son.”

Estelle speaks with sparkling eyes.

Haha, what. This is what it means to be filial.

In the first place, the reason I’m saving this world is so I can live well with the family I finally have.

It’s only natural to want to show your parents a taste of this delicious food.

***

After the three people left, Lina was left alone and stood quietly in the hallway, clenching her fists.

Her expression was gentle enough that anyone passing by would not suspect her, but her hands were so tightly pressed that the nail marks were deep.

‘Why on earth are you taking care of a commoner instead of me…! I’m a noble, and that person is a commoner…!’

Of course, he was an ordinary commoner who was so outstanding that the Academy created a new award to give him one, but in Lina’s eyes, he was just another commoner with some abilities.

‘Surely… Iris-sama and Estelle-sama like that person…? No, no. There’s no way…! Like a commoner? That would be incredibly damaging to your reputation…!’

Lina’s aristocratic way of thinking, that being a commoner meant that her reputation would be tarnished simply by liking someone, still persisted.

“Lina, what are you doing here?”

“I saw you with the Crown Princess, where did you go now?”

The noble ladies of the same class, who had no way of knowing Lina’s feelings, approached her one by one and showed expressions of wanting to become friends with her.

That was understandable, as rumors began to circulate that the Crown Princess, the Saintess, and Lina were hanging out together.

Of course, the rumor that a commoner was also involved was still lingering.

“Ah, since I took all the classes, Iris and Estelle, who didn’t take all the classes, went to eat first. I’ll have to go see them again later. Haha.”

Lina smiled innocently and talked as if she still had no problems with Iris and Estelle.

“I think you had an argument with the saintess in the hallway earlier. Is that right?”

But if there’s someone who makes you feel good, there’s bound to be someone who makes you feel worse.

“Oh my, what do you mean? Estelle and I are very close. Fighting, that’s impossible.”

Lina responds with an innocent smile as if she has no problem at all to someone who insists on specifically mentioning what happened in the hallway earlier.

“I see.”

However, since once a look of distrust appears, it is not easy to shake it off, Lina thought that she should be careful about her actions for the time being.

‘It’s all because of that commoner…!’

Theo had done nothing wrong, but Lina still thought that everything was Theo’s fault.
