Episode 124 – Outing just for the two of you
A week has already passed since the new semester at Noble Academy has started.
The new students were gathering in groups of threes and threes as if they had adapted to the atmosphere of the Noble Academy.
There were many cases in which male students were grouped with male students and female students with female students.
Occasionally, male students and female students were seen walking around together. Usually, there were cases where they held hands while walking with a high probability, causing damage to the people around them by performing affectionate acts.
Of course, it’s not that the two of them are really causing any harm, but seeing the lovers walking down the street and chatting, it could be said that they were suffering internal damage without even realizing it.
“Keuugh, there are guys who already have lovers.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Shouldn’t we also try our best?”
“I must make a lover before the end of this semester!”
Some male students who couldn’t stand the salting of a couple shouted that they would be like that too.
Of course, I also saw some female students passing by with expressions that they saw something they couldn’t bear to see.
“Adalbert-kun. Were you waiting?”
As I was passing the time watching the students going to school, I heard Nina’s voice from behind.
“Ah, Professor Nina. You came out early.”
I deliberately tried not to reveal that Nina and I were lovers.
Externally, Nina and I were freshmen who entered Noble Academy, and we were new professors.
On the day when it became known that professors and students are like that, the worst situation could come when either me or Nina had to quit the academy.
Well, this is only the worst case scenario.
The reason Nina was able to come to Noble Academy in the first place is because of me.
Someone might say it’s self-praise, but it’s true.
Because the ‘gift’ that His Majesty the Emperor spoke of was Nina.
In other words, it was because of me that she came here.
If I hadn’t received a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor, there would be no reason to come to the Noble Academy.
However, both Nina and I needed to be careful with each other in order not to have trouble later on.
So the two of us tried our best to have only businesslike conversations so as not to show that we were lovers.
“Because there is no law saying that a professor has to come later than the students. Rather, shouldn’t we hurry up to avoid being late for class?”
“Okay. Professor.”
The reason Nina and I went outside at this time when everyone else was going to school was simple.
“Today, I’m going around the various merchant houses to get ingredients for a wound healing kit that will come in handy in an emergency. I’ll ask later what kind of things I buy, so I hope you remember what I do.”
“Okay.”
That’s right, I went out of the academy for a while to purchase the necessary materials from the top for the practice time to be held in a few weeks.
Many people lived in this city built around the Noble Academy.
Where a lot of people gathered, there was always a space to buy and sell goods.
And, in order for goods from other regions to come into this city, a merchant company was needed to supply them.
There were so many things the city needed that one guild could not afford.
In particular, there were more than 1,000 people living in Noble Academy alone, and well over 20,000 to 30,000 people including people living in cities built around them.
So, how many supplies do they need?
In addition to grains, meat, fish, and various vegetables, a lot of things are needed, such as cloth, accessories, and wood.
And no one thinks that a single guild can afford this.
Because the merchants knew that, the Noble Academy and the nearby cities signed contracts with several guilds to supply the necessary items.
Ah, of course, the city also produces things necessary for daily life on its own, but as more people use them than make them, the reality is that the amount of production cannot keep up with the amount of demand.
Anyway, as I said earlier, if there was something we needed at Noble Academy, we made a contract with the guild and purchased the item.
Nina was also going to sign a contract with the noble academy and a contract with the upper house to get the necessary items.
Nina and I walked out of the main gate of the academy and walked for a while until we saw a building that was being used by a guild that signed a contract with the academy in the distance.
It was a three-story building with a roof decorated with tiles common in the El Pario Empire, but I could see several wagons parked in front of the building moving, as if the top had just set off to get something.
[Blue wind top]
“Welcome to the top of the Blue Wind. Are you Professor Nina Gratias Esselton, who contacted you?”
“Right. I am Nina Gratias Esselton.”
“Thank you for visiting Blue Wind Merchant. Come this way We will guide you to the place for the contract.”
Has it been discussed in advance?
A person who appeared to be her employee greeted her Nina and escorted her into her building.
As I followed the staff into the building, people were busy moving here and there.
As we passed the frenetic crowd and went upstairs, a high-ranking person stood up and greeted us as if he had been waiting for us.
“Ha ha ha. Nice to meet you. Thank you for visiting Blue Wind Top. I am the owner of Endor, who is in charge of the contract today.”
“Nice to meet you, Danju Endol.”
“hahahaha, come and sit down.”
She said that her man, who identified himself as Endor, beckoned her and invited Nina to take her seat.
Nina sat down in her seat, and across from her sat the Lord of Endor.
“This time, a new class called Basic Healing has been created at Noble Academy.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“So, this time I came here to purchase the necessary items from Gwi Sangup.”
“Ha ha ha. Welcome. It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing that the Blue Wind Merchant cannot find.”
When Endor said that she had come to buy things Nina needed, she said that she had come and smiled broadly.
“This is a list of things I am trying to get from the top of the ear this time.”
Nina handed Endor the documents she had brought with her in advance.
Endol accepted the documents Nina had given him and began to check the details.
“Hmm, the leaves of the evening primrose, the stems of the clover, and the roots of the twilight. It’s not that expensive, right?”
The names of the ingredients that came out of the mouth of a person named Endol were all ordinary plants that could be gathered in ordinary mountains or fields.
Bright evening primroses, knoll grasses, and twilight grasses were all common plants that lived everywhere in this land.
“These are ingredients that can be easily obtained in the field, and are generally a by-product of herbal gathering.”
“I see. Is the price paid by the academy?”
“Yes. It’s for classes, so the academy pays for it.”
After confirming that the materials Nina was trying to find were not a big deal, Endor’s attitude changed noticeably.
“Okay. By when can I deliver it?”
“I hope you can bring it to me by next week at the latest.”
“Okay. Then write the contract.”
At Endor’s words, Nina picked up a pen and signed a contract according to the standard contract form.
An employee came and took the completed contract.
“Oh, come to think of it, today was the day when an important guest from the upper ranks was visiting. I’m sorry I couldn’t see you off on the way. Enough…….”
When the contract was completed, Endor hurriedly left.
“Hmm, it seems that the person named Endol is very disappointed with this contract?”
“Is that so?”
“That’s true of the guild that supplies to the academy.”
Nina seemed to know something about the change in her Endor attitude.
“What is the reason?”
“Simply put, it’s because we don’t have anything to share.”
“Ah.”
I could see what Nina had to say.
When I said there was nothing to share, it meant that there was nothing to steal in the middle.
“If you ask for the supplies you need for an academy class, the upper management inflates the delivery price to some extent and shares the profit with the professor who requested the items.”
“By the way, are you saying that the items Nina asked for today aren’t that profitable?”
“To put it simply, yes. That person named Endor seems to have had high expectations today, but it turned out to be a pity.”
Nina said that and told me to move quickly since the other corps also had to stop by.
I also didn’t want to stay in a place like this for long, so I followed Nina out of the upper building.
