deceive and deceive
“Are you here for damage compensation? I’ll guide you here.”
“Oh, thank you.”
As soon as I entered the portal management office, the one who greeted me was not an employee, but a member of the White Blade Knights.
Looking at the clothes, it seemed that he was disguised so as not to interfere with the portal management work.
‘Are you just putting it on the suspect line for now?’
It’s hard to completely doubt that the date you went out and the date the illegal gambling house was robbed are the same.
It seemed like they were trying to approach me pretending to be an employee to get me first.
Druck.
As I moved to the place I was guided, I looked around and found that there was only one portal manager.
Perhaps that person was telling me the real compensation for my damage, and the rest of the people would use that as an excuse to ask about illegal gambling.
But no matter how much I doubted them for a hundred days anyway, they could never catch me because they lacked one crucial thing.
“I used the advanced portal and originally had to arrive at the auction city of Money Boom, but I fell into the Garwon Jungle due to coordinate confusion.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
“How much can I get if this happens?”
As far as I know, the normal damage compensation that can be received due to a mistake in portal coordinates is 30 times the portal value.
However, if you fell into a dangerous area like Garwon Jungle here, you could crave more compensation than that.
‘As far as I know, it was 60 times.’
If you were injured or life-threatening here, you could ask for additional money.
“The only way to escape from Garwon Jungle was to conquer the dungeon and get a hearthstone. Do you admit it?”
“But isn’t that part of the customer’s choice?”
This was the start of the real rip-off.
The portal manager wants to pay less money somehow, and I have to extort a lot of money somehow.
If I was a noble, the lawyers would take care of everything and solve everything, but unfortunately I wasn’t.
This is because commoners are not easily accepted by the lawyers, even if they are academy cadets.
Who should I say to my reputation?
It was really annoying discrimination.
“It’s not my choice, so if I had stayed still when I was away in Garwon Jungle, was there any chance that you would come to the rescue?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“I don’t think so… How do you find someone who has fallen in the middle of the jungle at the portal management office? Then I have no choice but to escape on my own. “
“Uh… ah…”
The more money, the better.
This was very important to the common people.
‘And in this case, I have no choice but to receive a lot of money.’
There was no hole to escape because I was perfectly aware of the rules related to portals.
If the other side claims that clearing the dungeon and obtaining the hearthstone is false, I will refer to the Death Meteor incident and call a witness.
Because there is no other way to explain the sudden drop from the sky at the training ground other than the hearthstone.
No matter what you say, you have no choice but to receive the maximum compensation.
The white blade member next to him was also making an unfavorable expression as to whether it was the flow he wanted.
But what do you do when you make a face like that?
“…Okay. Then I will prepare the reward right away.”
The staff immediately raised a white flag, thinking that wrestling was no longer meaningful.
Yeah, I don’t like seeing young kids talking about money.

Just ah“Oh, and by any chance, can I open an account right away with that reward?”
“Account?”
“Yes, please make one. Bertok’s bank girl.”
“ah…”
He added a word to the employee who hesitated to answer, to immediately wake up.
“Belos is a really close friend of mine. Mijuran is also.”
“…Ah, ah! Bertok, it was because I didn’t think about it for a moment. Then I’ll prepare it right away.”
The staff immediately switched positions as soon as the names of imperial and royal families came out of my mouth.
After all, the more friends you make, the better.
‘Because Bertok is not a bank that can be made at will.’
Bank Bertok, known for its tight security, with the largest number of branches in the world, circulating a large amount of money.
The problem was that the bank didn’t open any accounts.
It had to be a lot of money, a famous aristocrat, or something special.
In my case, I was aiming for ‘something special’.
Here, if the portal manager guaranteed my identity and made me an agent instead, the job would be easy.
Rather than just having a first-year commoner go and say that Velos and Mijuran are close.
It is because it is certain that someone who is old and has a decent job will give you a guarantee.
The portal management must have investigated my personal information, so you must also know that I am the S class leader.
That’s why it’s only natural to say that I’m close with someone.
‘And it’s not a lie.’
Now, rather than being close, it was right to see them as great trainees who trust and follow me.
In some ways, it can be seen that they maintain a higher trust relationship than their friends.
‘Then what’s left is the white blade.’
One member who is still standing even after the staff has left.
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, it seemed like he was waiting for someone.
“hello.”
“Yeah. Hello.”
Unsurprisingly, there is one existence that comes in as soon as the thought is over.
The white blade leader Carmel.
‘Is the director coming from here?’
It wasn’t incomprehensible.
I’d like to somehow tie me up with an illegal gambling house, but I’m missing one essential thing, so I guess I’ll have to push myself with authority.
“My name is Carmel, the leader of the white blade.”
“Pear, white blade? I, I did nothing wrong.”
First of all, I had to pretend to be shy here.
When they receive compensation, they thoroughly investigate and have confidence, but immediately become weak in the face of power.
It was convenient when I took off the shichimi later when I had to build this kind of image.
“I know. It’s nothing other than this, but because of something that happened in the past, I want to investigate.”
“Investigation?”
“Yes, the culprit has not been caught so much… That’s why I’m so ignorant and seeking advice from many people.”
“ah…”
From the beginning to the end, without explaining what kind of incident it is, when you see it as saying that they are looking for the culprit.
It seemed like he wanted me to first spit out words like illegal gambling or sweet dessert.
Thief wishing this please.
A play that expects the other person’s mistakes, not their own.
‘You made the worst move.’
Aren’t you underestimating 17-year-old commoners?
I made up my mind to pretend to be naive, but seeing what I was doing, it seemed that there was no need to just act stupid.
“What’s going on? I think I should know what to say… I’m a little busy. I hope it ends soon.”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you the details. What did you do?”
“sorry.”
Carmel naturally sat across from me, pretending to scold my subordinates.
He seemed a little nervous as he knew how absurd this situation was.
What Carmel was trying to do was like trying to make a fire on the ice.
“It happened at the same time as the last time you went out and the illegal gambling establishment was robbed. So I have a few questions for you.”
“Ah… yes what.”
“What specifically did you do then?”
“Am I obligated to tell you that? It sounds like an invasion of privacy.”
“…again, this is to investigate the case of an illegal gambling establishment…”
“No, so you’re saying I robbed an illegal gambling house? Are you on suspicion? Just because the timing was right?”
Isn’t that too speculative?
Carmel nodded her head as if she understood my words and continued speaking again.
“It’s because this gambling hall is not an ordinary case. Since it is a membership system operated only by nobles…”
done.
As soon as information about the sweet dessert came out of Carmel’s mouth, I had a gut feeling that this situation was over.
“So, how can a cadet of the commoners academy know about a gambling house that is a member of the aristocracy?”
One of the most important things.
How did the commoners know about the aristocratic membership casino, the white blade could not clearly answer this part.
A child who is neither aristocratic nor a native who lived near here suddenly robs an illegal membership-based gambling establishment and makes a ton of money?
At first, it was a story that didn’t match.
‘And that’s what I was aiming for.’
It was not for nothing that I chose the membership system from among the many illegal gambling establishments.
It was a kind of safety device to make an escape hole in case something like this happened later.
“…that.”
“It’s a bit like that. It seems like you’re holding on to a strict person… I’ll just leave.”
You shouldn’t think of holding people down for a long time with ridiculous assumptions.
‘Let’s get out of here quickly.’
Because I was able to receive additional misunderstandings that did not exist for nothing by staying in such an impure field for a long time.
If the account creation was completed, it was the right answer.
Thinking like that, I was about to leave the portal management office.
“Wait, stop.”
I heard a voice grabbing me.
But the owner of that voice wasn’t Carmel.
‘Where did you suddenly come from?’
The first year owner of Velutos Academy.
Elua Velutos, she was staring at me sharply.
