“then no!”

It’s quite rude to say something cute with your arms crossed.

The students looked at Ariando with no will to fight.

Who can say anything about Ariando’s bitter words?

Everyone just bowed their heads equally in front of Ariando’s cuteness.

“What we said was annoying. “I’m sorry, Ariando.”

“If the country calls you, you go! “Because we are brave nobles!”

Haven’t we studied and trained for years to protect humanity?

When did everyone say that they wanted to quickly join the military and be active, but didn’t they tremble in fear when they were faced with it?

Ariando didn’t like that.

Ariand too.

Short stature and cute appearance.

Everything is small and cute, but that doesn’t mean you can let down your guard.

That little girl boasted overwhelming skills at the academy and was the undisputed number one in the academy, having reached S rank.

‘How does such a small body achieve such strength?’

That girl’s specialness isn’t all about her skills.

A collateral blood relative of the royal family.

The third daughter of the duke family, a noble family.

What kind of student would dare raise his voice in front of Ariando, who has perfect family and skills?

No matter what you compare, you will only see your own shortcomings.

“Monster waves can be scary. But you shouldn’t show it.”

Additionally, Ariando’s words made the students feel solemn.

Because they were all correct.

What do you do if a noble shows fear of monsters?

It was the worst thing a hero who had to fight for humanity should ever do.

“I will reflect on it.”

An atmosphere is created where both you and I reflect.

The story about Fran’s conscription was so embarrassing that everyone went into a panic trying to make up for their mistakes, saying it was a mistake.

“franc!”

“Yes, yes?”

By the time everyone had calmed down their excitement thanks to Ariando.

She stood in front of Fran.

“Bye. Hang in there. “I will go there and protect you!”

It was a pretty cool declaration.

And surprisingly, Fran blushes as if it worked.

“Okay, thank you. “I will trust you and wait.”

Looking at her shy expression, it seemed like it was love at first sight.

I once again realized that Ariando’s appearance appeals to both men and women.

‘Am I being too indifferent?’

Even though I didn’t really have any special thoughts about Ariando, seeing that guy’s cool appearance was enough to make my heart pound.

Franc wasn’t the only one excited by Ariando’s brilliant declaration.

“Arianne is cute too… !”

“Arianne is so cool too!”

“The coolness that comes from that cute physique… .”

“As expected, Ariando. “There’s no way I can imitate that charm.”

The atmosphere of the class changed in an instant.

Since when on earth was this a warm-hearted class?

These are kids who didn’t even receive their own greetings properly.

I tilted my head as I suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu, but then shrugged my shoulders.

I wondered if there was any reason to keep thinking about it because it hurt my head.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

[Name: Ariando (SSR)]

[Grade: S class]

[Skill: ]

[Stats: Power (S) Stamina (B) Dexterity (S) Magic (A) Charm (S)]

Tier 1 character Ariando.

A collateral relative of the royal family, she is the precious third daughter of the duke’s family.

Even at first glance, you can guess that it has grown without any shortcomings.

Despite being an assassin, his personality is very bright and he pursues justice.

Would you say that despite his cute appearance, he is full of passion and has a very strong will?

He is also a very attractive character who usually catches people’s attention.

I don’t really know why they gave assassin abilities to such an insider character.

Isn’t this because the production company is tired of making cliché characters?

In any case, Ariando’s performance is amazing.

It was a character that had to be developed well, so it was necessary to watch carefully.

‘Arian too. A character who grew up affluent and, unlike other characters that have appeared so far, does not have a particularly tragic narrative.’

Was it because of his cute appearance that he was well-liked by producers?

The difficulty level of the ordeal given to her was very low.

‘That’s why there was hope for no charges.’

This child’s greatest adversity was that her older sister was seriously injured in the battlefield and returned home after being discharged from the volunteer army.

Ariando, who hurries back to her parents’ home, is greatly shocked to see her sister in despair with the loss of a leg.

At this time, you are given the option of whether to go into the room to comfort your sister.

‘If you go in, you’ll have a falling out with her sister, which will increase your stress, but you’ll get bonus stats, and if you don’t go in, you’ll have the disadvantage of not getting any stat bonuses.’

Most users chose to enter the room and receive bonus stats.

Stress did not have much of an effect on breaking the scenario, and the strained relationship with my sister did not cause performance problems.

‘But now?’

How will the strained relationship with her sister affect Ariando?

It was unknown how that bright child would change.

If you pass the first scenario, the second scenario is running away from home.

To kill the monster that made my sister like that with my own hands.

Hire mercenaries and go to the danger zone where monsters are.

“At this time, I should intervene.”

To take care of a little girl who ran away from home.

The most dangerous moment in Ariando’s scenario is also the second chapter.

The stats change depending on whether you succeed or fail in killing the monster that ate your sister’s leg.

The third scenario was to return home without being detected by the knights sent to find the runaway Ariando.

If you return home without being detected, you will receive an additional bonus to your main stat, agility.

‘I have to go back to the mercenary job I retired from with Ariando…’ .’

It would not be an easy request, but that did not mean it was a request that could be ignored.

In order to successfully complete the second and third scenarios, becoming a mercenary and joining the party was essential.

“I don’t think the scenario will proceed right away, but… .”

Shouldn’t you prepare in advance so that when Ariando comes to hire mercenaries, you can say that you will do it?

When the general store’s regular operating hours ended, I immediately closed the store and headed to the mercenary guild.

Just because it’s an academy city doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a mercenary guild.

Rather, since students hired mercenaries to go to the academy, a mercenary guild had to exist here.

Wouldn’t that be the only way to get the request fee settled?

When I retired, I thought I would never enter the mercenary guild again, but I had no idea that I would end up joining the mercenary guild again less than a year later.

“Is the business over already?”

As I entered the mercenary guild, I saw familiar muscular lumps drinking and talking.

When I went to the counter and talked to the man, he glanced at me and said.

“Business.”

“Mercenary registration.”

Aren’t places like counters usually run by girls?

I don’t understand why the man with the bushy beard is looking at the counter.

When he saw me extending my hand as if to hand over my mercenary card, I took it out of my pocket and placed it on my hand.

The counter man said after checking my mercenary card.

“Is this real?”

“Then does it look fake?”

“… There are no requests of this level here. All is well. During the vacation season, there will be demand because they have to return to their families. Of course, now that school has started.”

This is where most requests for escorting precious noble masters and young ladies are made.

Since it is so far away from the contaminated area, it is unnecessary for someone like me who has upgraded a lot of mercenary cards.

“Just register. “Someday, if a worthy request comes, I can register and receive it right away.”

“what… It’s good for us. “I understand.”

It is natural that a mercenary guild should be happy to have skilled mercenaries.

It’s just embarrassing because I can’t arrange the right work for you.

“So you’re going to keep requests open all the time?”

“If you have a request that I can do, please send it to this address. “Of course I will make the choice.”

“It means that you will only do what sucks. “I liked it for no reason.”

In order for the mercenary guild to make money, mercenaries must frequently make requests.

However, to anyone who sees me now, it would seem that I do not have the will to actively pursue requests.

Even though I grumbled, the counter man registered me, and after receiving the mercenary card again, I shouted at him.

“But do you keep counting?”

“… There’s a lady who usually works at the counter, but she left work early today because she had work to do. “Why are you doing that?”

“iced coffee. That’s enough. “I also thought he was in charge of the counter.”

“Sipal, I don’t want to stop doing business, do you?”

Fortunately, it didn’t look like the mercenary guild I had chosen might go bankrupt in the near future.

I simply finished the business and left the mercenary guild.

And when we got back to the general store.

Jeeee!

I could tell that someone with suspicious eyes was watching the front of our general store.

“… … .”

At first, I felt a presence, but at some point it completely disappeared and I couldn’t find its presence.

For a moment, my head couldn’t turn and I stood there in a daze.

‘Why is he here?’

Obviously, the sudden disappearance of the presence was probably due to the use of stealth.

Ariand too.

A child who shouldn’t be here has suddenly appeared.

How on earth did you come to visit me?

My mind was confused as to how I found out about my general store.

‘If I keep standing there, it’ll get even weirder.’

I opened the grocery store door as calmly as possible.

Then, a presence suddenly appeared behind me and Ariando’s voice was heard.

“Hello!”

Would it be better to pretend to be surprised?

Would it be better to pretend it’s no big deal?

“Surprise, surprise. customer? The general store was closed. “Come tomorrow to buy something.”

“I am not a guest. “I came here because you asked me to do a favor.”

huh? You came here at my request?
