“Sir~. Then I’ll put it in♡”

“Wait a minute! Elsia! Wait! ”

“Don’t worry. There’s nothing to be afraid of ♡.”

“Fuck! Don’t do it! No!”

An empty classroom.

There, Elsia and I were the only ones expressing different opinions.

Elsia said she would do it.

I said I wouldn’t do it.

But Elsia was faster.

“It’ll be done soon. I’ll do it♡.”

“Stop it!!!!!”

“Ah~~♡. I put it in♡.”

“Uh, why…”

Different emotions are shown afterwards.

I am in deep despair.

Elsia is very happy.

At that moment, Hyeji and Jeong Ayeon entered the classroom.

Jeong A-yeon asked us a question with a shocked expression on her face.

“Prince Shinwoo? Lady Elsia?”

Meanwhile, Hyeji was a little different.

Hyeji began to speak coldly with her eyes dead.

“What are you guys doing?”

Either way, I felt like crying.

Elsia rather looked pleased.

“Fuck…”

“Ah, your little brother is here. Look♡.”

Then Elsia began to show off by spreading out her hands.

“Hey, hey! Hey! What the heck.”

“It’s exactly as you see it♡”

“Ugh…no…”

To explain this situation.

We have to go back a little bit.

***

“Sir! Do you trust me?”

“……How long has it been since we last saw each other?”

“I believed in you from the moment I saw you!”

After all classes are over.

Jeong Ah-yeon and Hye-ji left for a moment to submit an application for use of the training ground.

I was waiting for them in the classroom, and I was welcoming Elsia, who came again today without fail.

Since the first day, Elsia has been coming every time during lunch and at the end of every class.

There was a way to just ignore it though.

In the regression I saw before, the word ‘cut-‘ at the end kept coming to mind.

I was so scared of what might happen that I couldn’t bring myself to be cruel to him.

‘You mean cut it, right?’

[Yes. I don’t know where to cut, but there is no part of the body that is okay to cut.]

‘Fuck. Why the hell is there a yandere route?’

[From what you said, I guess it’s because you keep ignoring and not accepting it?]

Coming here every time means that I end up meeting Hyeji, who is by my side, every time.

Naturally, the two fought and growled every time they met.

Every time, Jeong A-yeon and I would sit there, crumpled, and quietly talk about various books and works.

This is a usual sight.

So, today was one of the few times when Elsia and I had some alone time.

“Anyway, why? What is the reason for that?”

“Sir, how much can you invest in me?”

“What are you talking about? Are you talking about money?”

“Yes! That’s right! I’m investing, but I don’t have enough seed money, so I was wondering if you could help me.”

“Let me think about it for a moment.”

“Yes! I’ll wait as long as you want!”

There is a saying:

Among stock investors, the worst of the worst is elves.

It’s okay to pick up a piece of trash among the numerous stocks.

Because you can wait for it to grow into a large company through the longevity that comes with it.

Of course, not all elves are like that.

Some older elves have a sense of time that feels short, even for decades.

Because of this, it is common for stocks to be delisted after being held for too long and become over-the-counter stocks.

Certainly, when you say stock, I think of it.

I have previously considered having someone else do the purchasing for me.

I can’t regress, but others can.

However, that thought was quickly abandoned.

‘Surprisingly, regression doesn’t apply as well to coins and stocks as expected.’

[That’s right.]

‘Even large companies that are expected to rise in the future have fallen many times.’

[I think it’s probably because the mere fact that so many people are regressing is a big variable.]

Just a few days ago, several faculty members were seen looking at their phones and pulling out their hair.

Judging from the way he mutters, “It definitely went up!!!”, it looks completely different from the future he returned to.

The stock graph was also quite odd, which I thought was due to numerous regression variables.

Since I can’t do regression anyway, I just looked at the graph.

But if I were a stock investor, it would be better to just commit suicide.

Those who were to benefit did benefit according to the law of ‘those who will benefit will benefit’.

I have never met anyone who has ever profited from stocks through regression.

‘In the first place, most of the people around us can only return to a short future, and above all, they do not invest.’

[There are only people with very correct thinking.]

I cleared my mind and stared at Elsia.

As soon as she noticed my gaze, Elsia put her hand on her face and twisted her body.

Honestly, she looks really pretty.

But it’s also true that it’s a little scary because I keep seeing the image before I returned.

Anyway, since Elsia is asking me to invest now, I decided to believe her.

‘Since you’re young, you’ll probably figure it out and get out before it goes out of business, right?’

[Hopefully, that will happen.]

‘Okay. I’m going all in on the investment. Starting today, I’m Kim Shin-woo, a stock tycoon.’

I opened the banking app on my phone and started handing over money to Elsia.

Excluding the cost of food this month.

All the money I’ve saved so far.

[You? Are you giving me all that money?]

‘I guess it’ll be fine.’

Since the amount was significant, Elsia also looked quite surprised.

“Really? This much money all at once?”

“Elfs are good at stocks. Don’t worry too much.”

“Of course!! Yes!! Don’t worry!! Just trust me, sir!!”

But it shouldn’t have been that way.

“Then, I’ll put it in right away♡”

“Huh? Isn’t it past market closing time?”

“Ah! This is something else!”

That’s understandable, because that’s what Elsia showed me.

“Hey! This isn’t a fucking stock, it’s a coin!”

“No! This is raising goats!”

“Fuck! Stop talking like that Rooftop Elf!”

Because it was a coin exchange that should never be touched.

“No! Absolutely not! Not a second Shapiro!!”

“Oh my, sir. If you argue with your wife’s decisions too much, you won’t be a good husband.”

Unfortunately, contrary to my earnest wishes.

My attempts to stop Elsia were in vain.

Before I knew it, the butterflies that Elsia had created with her power were entangling my body.

In the end, that’s all I can do.

Just open your eyes wide and scream.

“Let go! You piece of shit!”

“I feel bad too, but this is all for you, my lord.”

“It’s not too late! Stop!”

“Sir~. Then I’ll put it in♡”

So it comes back to the beginning.

***

“So, Shinwoo, is that why you’re crying?”

“Yeah. What the fuck, what the hell coin did you put it in?”

“Oh my, sir. This isn’t it.”

“Then what is it?”

I opened my eyes sharply, but Elsia didn’t care at all.

He immediately started showing me his cell phone screen.

“This is the fruit of our love. Look. The goat’s name is ‘Elf’, which suits me perfectly, right?”

” …. Why is it blue as soon as the graph color is a lion.

[It’s descending almost vertically. Hold on tight. It’s going down further.]

‘Even bungee jumping would be slower than this, fucking shit.’

Jeong Ah-yeon’s face turned blue.

Just like the graph of the elf coin.

“Elsia Sojourner… Is the loss rate you’re seeing the right number? ”

“Oh my, I think our goat is sick. I’ll have to put everything towards the goat’s medicine.”

“Hey! No fucking way! If you add that, we’re screwed!!!”

My desperate voice.

But it became empty background noise.

Because Elsia had already spent all the remaining money.

In the end, there is only one thing you can do.

I just watched with my eyes wide open as all my money disappeared.

“Ah~♡. I put them all in♡.”

“Shit.”

At that moment, Hyeji and Jeong Ayeon quickly spoke to me.

Just in case something happens.

“Confucius. I feel sorry for you, but I can’t lend you money.”

“Shinwoo, I’m really sorry. I also spent a lot of money on other things this time, so it’s hard for me to lend you money.”

All I can do is sigh.

Because that doesn’t cost any money.

“Fuck, my money.”

“Don’t worry too much, sir. ‘Elf’ will come back to life soon.”

“You take a look. Does it look like your breathing is about to stop?”

“……”

“……”

A moment of silence.

Since then, Elsia has shown embarrassment for the first time.

“Sir? Are we in big trouble?”

“…You want to sell now? You’re the elf who wants to sell.”

“……What should I do? This is the first time I’ve seen this situation.”

“Should I commit suicide?”

A blue line that moves downwards powerfully, drawing a blue orbit.

That was the identity of what I was seeing with my tear-filled eyes right now.

The slope just kept getting steeper.

It’s really annoying.

The more I looked at the graph, the more it seemed like my heart was falling along the line.

The moment when I let out a sigh without realizing it.

“Fuck…I shouldn’t have trusted that kind of elf.”

“Oh! Does Confucius know that novel?”

Suddenly, Jeong A-yeon reacted.

“As expected, Confucius read books, so he must have already read masterpieces like The Tale of the Three Kings.”

“I know. The Story of the Salesman is the best novel. And it is no exaggeration to say that it fed Nobelpia.”

“That’s right. I think that among all the novels I’ve written so far, “Maedojeongsil” is one of the most successful.”

“The sales office has enough potential to succeed, if not more.”

“……”

“……”

There was something slightly off in what they were saying.

I needed to correct my thinking.

After a brief silence, I spoke first.

“The real reason is Esili.”

“The truth is, I’m an elf.”

As expected, Jeong Ah-yeon was a member of the Kampfdan.

It is necessary to make the subject known.

“Shut up. Where is Kkanp talking about the real wife? You should be grateful even for the concubine.”

“Shut up. You’re talking too much, you spy.”

“Come out, you piece of shit.”

“Okay. I’ll kill you.”

If you can’t communicate with words, then of course you have to use your fists.

As soon as Jeong A-yeon and I received approval to fight, we started fighting right away.

Outside were Hyeji and Elsia.

Hyeji was giving me a cold look as if she was feeling pitiful.

Elsia was taking pictures of the waste because of the coin graph that kept falling without stopping.

Hyeji’s gaze seemed to keep stabbing my heart.

That I’m an idiot.

But there are fights in this world that must never be avoided.

Just like right now.

[This body is also a Jeongshilridan! Cheer up!]

‘That’s fortunate. If it was Kampfdan, I would have shown it to Grandma.’

[…..I only trust Jeongsilli, so please spare my life.]

Unfortunately, the match between me and Jeong A-yeon ended in a draw.

It was definitely true that he had grown, but unlike before, he was able to destroy all the summoned beasts and other things by strengthening his body.

However, at the end, I made a mistake in adjusting it and my left arm burst.

It gets a bit complicated after that, but it ends up being a double KO.

“Confucius has certainly become more difficult to deal with than before.”

“Of course it should be. Isn’t this the first time we’ve officially gotten together?”

This is actually the first time I’ve had a head-on fight with Jeong A-yeon.

Still, it wasn’t bad for a first time.

“Is this something you learned from Cheonma-nim?”

“That’s why I asked you to join me.”

Then suddenly, Jeong A-yeon’s face turned pale.

As if that were absolutely not possible.

“Please spare my life. Anyway, if you fight so well, there’s no chance of a reversal.”

“….At least it’ll take some time to arrange it, right?”

“Wouldn’t anyone be watching anymore in the first place?”

“……..How should I make money now?”

“……..Cheer up.”

The evening glow began to appear.

It’s not even dawn.

A drop of dew suddenly formed and flowed down my eye.
