Chapter Index

    Beatus Academy is so large that it is called a ‘country within a country’ or an ‘empire within an empire.’

    If you combine the talents of the Magic and Knight departments, it is said to be stronger than most small and medium-sized countries.

    As the scale is large, the organization is also clearly divided.

    The student council is said to be the pinnacle of all students.

    A representative body created to check the student council’s dominance.

    The Dawn Society stays still and studies only knowledge.

    Among these, the relationship between the student council and the delegates is the most turbulent.

    In a way, this is natural since they were created to keep each other in check from the beginning, but recently, the relationship has been completely shattered.

    The day before the Beatus Festival takes place in March. Declared war on the student council.

    “Everyone, keep in mind. It’s okay if your performance is worse than last year. It’s okay if your evaluation is worse than last year.”

    “yes!!”

    “But the student council. I absolutely can’t tolerate losing to those guys!! I can do whatever it takes within the bounds of the law, so I must! This time, I’m going to catch the student council!”

    “Yes!!”

    The leader of the delegates finished his speech with all his might.

    However, the student council president’s speech was anything but simple.

    “Departments that performed worse than last year will be cut.”

    “yes..?”

    “more.”

    The content was not simple at all.

    The two largest organizations exercising influence in each sphere of influence began competing with each other in full force ahead of the festival.

    This foreshadows that there will soon be a big upheaval at the academy.

    “Honestly, aren’t delegates only for low-level people? I couldn’t join the student council, so I had no choice.”

    “Those who are too arrogant will eventually destroy themselves. I guess the only thing the student council can learn is sarcasm, right?”

    Sparks fly in the air.

    The streets of the festival were already extremely bloody due to the fierce war of nerves between the two sides.

    Of course, regular students were dumbfounded.

    The elites in the first and second place groups fight while discussing their level? So what about the people who failed both?

    “Cherry blossoms are falling!”

    “It was a good idea to come here, right? There’s a lot to see.”

    Even amid such tensions, the festival was filled with anticipation.

    youth. It was always nice to see students working hard to achieve their dreams.

    “Hey, this isn’t that expensive..!”

    “It looks like a good match. Would you like to take a look around? I’ll give you a cheap price~.”

    Each club partners with the student council or representative and receives exclusive rights to a certain space for a certain period of time to do business.

    Of course, there is also ample space for private business.

    “Hmm. Is it here?”

    The cherry blossom trees flutter as if filled with the vitality of chicks.

    I turned my head for a moment and admired the heart-warming scenery.

    A student shakes a board to attract eager customers. Little kids running around excitedly without even knowing that their mother is worried.

    A beautiful feast of youth with sounds constantly echoing across the cloudless blue sky.

    Harmony rather than competition.

    Kindness rather than hatred.

    Affection rather than cynicism.

    Close your eyes and feel the cool wind blowing.

    I guess this is life. What’s the big deal about the deadline?

    I love the world.

    “You must live faithfully.”

    For me, being terminally ill is not a big obstacle. Obviously, the faster you can help Jenna through the second half of the game, the better your life expectancy will be.

    Although enduring the pain every day feels like death.

    With that said, I prepared to open the food stall that I had moved myself.

    The food stall itself was quickly found, but the problem was the frame. It’s something that doesn’t exist in this world, so it had to be custom-made.

    “It was hard.”

    There is a blacksmith in the Beatus Academy area who receives orders from the emperor whenever he feels like it.

    Eitri, the eccentric craftsman.

    A few days ago, I visited his blacksmith shop to request a custom production, and of course it was rejected.

    ‘Get out of here, you bastard. I don’t make anything unless it’s what I want. ‘Did you really think that busy people would come to me and listen to me? I just thought it was ridiculous.’

    ‘I’ll leave the blueprint behind. Only the best blacksmith can make it.’

    ‘Even if you flatter me, it won’t work. go away!’

    Due to his stubborn attitude, I ultimately chose to appeal with emotion.

    ‘The sword pierces the enemy’s heart, and the shield protects one’s own body. Iron encompasses everything, and blacksmithing is a job for people and by people.’

    ‘…Hey, wait a minute. Where did you say that…’

    ‘Not only that, but there is a person who molds and tempers the soul in iron, and he is called a master craftsman.’

    ‘…..’

    After speaking, Eitri’s eyes became serious.

    It has to be that way. These are the words left behind by his late brother, Brock.

    ‘You said that… from whom did you hear it? ‘You cheeky little boy.’

    ‘I was a member of the Howlan family, although I am now kicked out. I will never forget his name.’

    ‘……’

    Although my memory is a bit hazy. Brock is my father. He was a blacksmith who personally created the weapons of Grand Duke Howlan.

    One of the reasons why Archduke Howlan won almost every war was because of that weapon.

    Eitri respects his dead brother and hopes to reach his level.

    If he is a master, his older brother Brock is a master among masters. He could be said to be a blacksmith, the king of kings.

    ‘…leave it and go. You must not know that his son has grown up this much. Time flies so fast.’

    ‘Then you will make it for me.’

    ‘Look how polite I am now that I said I would make it for you. ‘Speak respectfully from the beginning, you bastard!’

    I chuckled and continued speaking.

    ‘I will expect. The younger brother of the person who made that weapon. You’re the best blacksmith.’

    ‘Hmm. They say flattery doesn’t work at all. Still, it feels good to hear Master Howlan say that. ‘I’ll do my best.’

    Eitri smoothed his beard. That’s probably something you do when you’re in a good mood.

    If someone he didn’t know flattered him, he would probably have been furious, but a sincere compliment from an excellent customer family was what made the craftsman dance.

    Suddenly, I remembered my part-time job at a store.

    Sometimes, when the boss is drunk at a company dinner, he always shows Baemin 5-star reviews and comments, making you jealous, right? I used to brag about it, but that’s how I feel.

    …Actually, that’s what I sweetened. I’m sorry bro.

    Anyway, the result was this food stall.

    Since a significant portion of the retirement funds were spent on Pur’s tuition, father’s treatment, and living expenses, it seemed a bit poor on the outside.

    But the inside is as full as a bungeoppang.

    “Dys ugh.. it’s heavy..”

    “Do your best, Pur. You are stronger than me.”

    “Really? I’ll do my best!”

    Fur, who immediately regained his energy, whined and carried the material on his head.

    You can use telekinesis, but it hurts. He’s vomiting blood.

    An unusual food stall caught people’s attention.

    It is a very good thing that people walking down the street glance at each other once in a while.

    Pur and I worked really hard all night to get these ingredients.

    Despite this, she never complained. I was extremely grateful for that.

    If you’re going to get married, it should be with someone like Pur.

    “Dy’s what’s on my face?”

    “I looked at you because I was grateful.”

    “Thank you. I do it because I like it, right?”

    Pur flipped his hair as if he was happy.

    I received a large bag of red beans and cream puffs from her and massaged them.

    After that, I cut the end with scissors and put it in a container.

    Then, the homemade dough made at the inn with eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and cake flour was put into the kettle.

    “For some reason, I feel good. Aren’t we going to become rich?”

    “me too.”

    Fur purred as he imagined a happy future. I am purified by a flawless smile.

    Grease the perfectly shaped mold created by a master craftsman and pour the dough into it.

    After adding a generous amount of red bean paste… add the special white powder that makes you feel good when you eat it and cover it with a lid.

    Now just wait.

    “Dyers… but aren’t you putting in too much?”

    “I think I should add this much so it will be delicious when I eat it.”

    “That’s right.”

    While waiting, Pur asked curiously.

    “But this is called ‘Bunggeoppang’… Why isn’t that Bungeoppang included?”

    That’s a really sharp point.

    “That’s the way it is.”

    “Hmm.”

    Even though it was March, I was sweating quite a bit in the heat.

    Even the baking time must be controlled perfectly. I’m sure I can do it because I’ve done it several times.

    As I was diligently preparing food, I felt eyes on me.

    I turned my head to look at Pur, and he was smiling with satisfaction.

    “Dyers seems really sincere. I’m a bit lazy.”

    “Stop talking like that and try this.”

    “Oooh! It looks like a fish?! I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

    When I hand her a warm, freshly baked loaf, she smiles and loves it.

    She opens her small mouth and eats the tail first, and the corners of her mouth turn up again.

    “It’s crunchy, not too sweet, and savory.. It’s really delicious..! Is it because of that white powder?”

    okay? I’m glad.

    I can’t tell you about that white powder because it’s a trade secret. It could be a big problem.

    I also took a bite of the bungeoppang and it tasted perfect.

    However, Pur’s eyes became strange.

    “That.. that’s what I wore..”

    Is this because you stole the bungeoppang? sorry.

    “I’ll do more later.”

    “It’s not like that..”

    I put on an apron, leaving Pur who suddenly lost consciousness. Of course, I had already been wearing hats and gloves while cooking.

    “Huh? Huh? Dyers, where did you get that…!”

    “Huh? Normally, it’s polite to wear an apron when cooking.”

    “That’s actually..! That..!”

    Fur, who is clearly embarrassed, rolls his eyes here and there and starts talking gibberish.

    what? I heard it’s common sense to wear an apron when cooking?

    When I look at her, I eventually turn my head away.

    “Oh, it’s nothing..”

    Today, I left the strange puff aside and continued baking the dough.

    The smell wafts through the air and the students’ eyes turn.

    “What kind of bread is that?”

    “This is my first time seeing something like that. What is it?”

    You won’t be able to survive without buying it.

    What a festival limited special price: 4 for 1 silver (1,000 won).

    And it’s still chilly winter in March.

    Above all, the name of this dish is the flower of winter snacks: Bungeobbang.

    “…Pur. Get ready.”

    Purga, who was crunchily eating a bungeoppang, suddenly stiffened.

    I swallowed my saliva and looked ahead.

    “What is that? What is that?”

    “Hmm. Bungeoppang?”

    “Oh. Senior Dyers is doing it right now?”

    “Do you want to go?”

    “let’s go!”

    The chicks are coming.

    They come at me like crazy, like a chick with avian flu!

    I quickly put the dough into the mold.

    It starts now.
