94 – 20. Tragedy of group work
“Get out….”
A schoolboy-shaped corpse twitches in one corner of the boarding area.
It looks like he’s still alive, but there aren’t any surprising signs of trauma.
“…Is this also an artifact?”
“There is something that doesn’t hurt, but gives a strong shock. It’s quite useful and leaves no traces of torture.”
Well, let’s not be wise and ask about torture or anything like that.
Rather than that, are these six people the end?
“Are there any other students?”
“…Another student? Why?”
“Oh, I was just wondering if that was all the people here.”
Even if the Romance Academy students gathered at this small airport in Hawaii, it would be okay……
Looking at a passenger plane that can fit hundreds of people, I feel a bit burdened that there are only six people on it.
If you were initially convinced that a private jet had two chairs, this felt different as you could see numerous chairs beyond the window.
Well, since the Academy is responsible for such matters anyway, it’s time to stop worrying and cross the boarding gate with Rio.
“…Are you coming?”
“You have arrived.”
“………?”
The girl on the cell phone and the fat boy who had been quiet the whole time suddenly stand at attention and bend down.
For a moment, Rio and I were taken aback by the sudden change in attitude.
“Uh, uh…!”
The blond-tanned male student who was knocked down by Liu somehow got up and bowed politely.
What is this all of a sudden…? … ?
“Is it all three people?”
“That’s right. The other students went to a different airport, sorry.”
“What is there to be sorry for? More than that…”
Tap. Step by step.
Someone is walking.
My first impression was that she was just a beauty. A typical beauty with long black hair.
He has a smiling face, is tall, and is just the right person to like.
But.
‘Something…… ….’
Does it feel familiar? What?
Of course, it was my first time meeting him, but I felt like I felt a similar vibe somewhere…… Ambiguous feeling?
Was there a student like that among the new students?
Who is it?
“…Are these two people juniors?”
“Junior…? Oh, are you a senior by any chance?”
“Seeing as you don’t know my face, I guess you are my junior.”
…… Is he that famous?
There are very few characters that appear properly among the seniors in the game, except for Lily Whiterose, Gregor Arthur, and a few others.
While I was pondering, Liu, who was standing next to me, opened his mouth in a somewhat crooked manner.
“So what do you want to say?”
“…… Junior, you should still be polite to your senior…”
“Courtesy is damn good. If you’re not the prince or princess in my class, who can force me to be polite? The head of the Arthur family? A Catholic saint? At least, I don’t think it’s a collateral royal family of the Korean Empire.”
“……………….”
“Well, you’re quite famous in the third grade, aren’t you, Princess Kim Ha-neul?”
“……….”
Ah, I remembered.
I got this feeling from Kim Seong-il and Kim Eun-ha!
Although it is much weaker and more ambiguous than them, it has a
Feel of the
Royal family.
In fact, Kim Seong-il and Kim Eun-ha are the only ones who have a special job called , So even if they don’t have a job, they probably have skills related to the royal family.
More than that, this person is Kim Ha-neul?
‘I heard about it when I was helping Lily’s election for student council president, but this is my first time seeing it in person.’
At that time, I received help from Kim Seong-il.
Lily and Kim Ha-neul are the ones who effectively divide the 3rd graders, and it was said that Kim Ha-neul was close to other members of the royal family who were supported by the entire 2nd graders.
…… But who is the royal family of 2nd grade? I don’t even know who this is.
“Ha, hahahaha. Liu Yen… I didn’t know that the famous ‘S words were so harsh.”
“If you knew, would you have treated me like that? Of course, that’s because I didn’t know.”
“…This is strange. Did I do something to earn the great rich man’s resentment? I believe this is our first meeting.”
“Hey, you’re the one who called those other bastards here, right?”
“……Yes, that’s right.”
“Then that’s enough.”
“……?”
By the way, this person, Kim Ha-neul, was also caught wrongly. Rio is in a very sensitive state right now.
3Rd year senior? Collateral royal family? That doesn’t mean anything to Rio.
It is natural for To be considerate of Kim Seong-il and Kim Eun-ha.
Once again, I realize that I am treated very specially.
“Or if you just quietly take your followers and go back now──”
“Mr. Liu, let’s stop bothering ourselves and just get on the plane.”
“──Hey, let go of this! It’s all for you!”
“If you really care about me, please sit next to me and tell me what to do on the plane. This is my first time flying on anything other than a private plane….”
“…Really? hahahaha! I can’t help it. I’ll sit next to you specially!”
In front of Kim Ha-neul, whose expression was becoming increasingly hard, he grabbed the sarcastic Liu’s wrist and dragged him away.
There’s no way he would have been dragged to me by his strength, but seeing him come obediently, I guess he doesn’t like it.
‘More than that…….’
“……That’s ridiculous.”
Kim Ha-neul’s face, which seemed to be managing her facial expressions, is colored with astonishment.
Well, it’s something that kids in special vocational classes are used to. In fact, it’s strange to treat Like this.
The girl with the cell phone and the fat boy who had not paid any attention were also shaking their eyes.
When I got to the blond tanned boy, I didn’t even look in his direction, probably because he was beaten so much by Liu.
Oh, are all of those people seniors?
I let Liu into the plane first and looked back lightly.
“Are you all seniors?”
“…Junior? Who on earth are you, junior?…”
“Ahahahaha, I’m sorry. I’ve heard rumors about third-year senior Kim Ha-neul, but this is my first time seeing her in person. Just like the rumors say, she’s really beautiful.”
“Thank you. So…”
“Are the others also third graders?”
“Huh? That’s right. They’re my friends. Everyone say hello to your junior.”
“…Nanase Fuka. Please take care of me.”
This is a girl with a mobile phone.
“I am Kim Chun-deok.”
This is a fat male student.
“……Liam Andrew.”
And even the blond-tanned boy who can’t raise his head yet.
They were all third graders.
Now that the seniors have introduced themselves, it should be my turn, right?
“Hello, seniors. My name is Namgoong Min and I am a first year student.”
“Namgoong Min? Namgoong Min?”
“Yes.”
“…I see, that’s a good name. If you have any concerns, please let me know anytime.”
“Yes! Senior!”
After saying hello to Kim Ha-neul, who was smiling somewhat nervously, I hurried inside the plane.
I had a gut feeling that Rio’s hysterics gauge was rising earlier.
“Hey! Namgoong Min! Why are you so late!!”
“hahahaha, sorry, Mr. Liu.”
According to his intuition, Liu was so irritated that he was hitting the airplane seat.
Phew, I almost got in big trouble.
Rather than that, is this economy class? It’s really narrow compared to a private plane……
*
“……Princess? You’re riding slowly…”
“Be quiet.”
“Yes.”
Far away.
Kim Ha-neul distorted her pretty face and bit her nails.
It was a habit I did whenever I felt nervous.
Far away, far away.
‘The young b*tch is arrogant…… !’
Liu Yan. I’ve heard that name countless times.
He is the most cautious asset holder in the Korean Empire’s imperial family and the buyer who holds a large amount of the Korean Empire’s bonds. And he is an investor who manages numerous companies when he is only in his twenties.
Both in a good and bad sense, Kim Ha-neul and Liu Yan had no contact.
Because he was too high a person for a purely collateral royal family member to meet.
When I heard that such a
Rich man had entered the academy, I thought it was a good opportunity.
Until I had just personally experienced the damnable personality of
The wealthy person I had heard about through rumors.
However, even if Liu can throw away Kim Ha-neul, Kim Ha-neul cannot give up approaching Liu.
‘The world is about connections and money. Bloodlines and such have no value.’
To be precise, it is not as good as having an ambiguous lineage.
Because Kim Ha-neul himself was like that.
Therefore, it was even more necessary to strengthen connections with ‘real’ people like Liu Yan.
She looked around at the three students who were bent over with somewhat nervous eyes.
‘…… ‘I don’t need this chaff.’
b*tches who had no interest in Kim Ha-neul when she had just entered the academy bow down after gaining power and money through hard work.
It was natural, and it was always a power struggle in the imperial palace.
If I hadn’t suddenly decided to enroll in the Romance Academy, I would still be living as a dragon’s tail in the imperial palace.
Isn’t it still the head of a snake now?
‘We need more support and strength.’
In that respect, last semester was quite painful.
There was a lot of money given to that 2nd year kid for the student council president election, but it all went wrong.
Oh my god, who would have thought the prince would step out there?
That too── At most, at the request of one .
This was information she would not have known if it had not been for the ‘dog’ she also raised.
“It’s Namgoong Min….”
If she was not mistaken, she would have been one of the first-year special occupation classes, a .
The story of freshmen breaking the maze at the entrance ceremony was a topic frequently mentioned even among older students.
It’s a maze that everyone has experienced, and we all know its despair.
“…Let’s go.”
“””Yes.”””
Ah, that’s it.
Among those following her, Kim Ha-neul glanced at a blonde-tanned male student and clicked her tongue.
Can’t you recognize the face of the
Of a third-grade student?
I took him with me because his skills were useful, but there was no need for that level of knotholes.
Kim Ha-neul boarded the plane after confirming the treatment of one student.
I don’t know why.
…… It seemed like it would be a long flight.
*
The plane is spacious and can accommodate at most 7 people.
I and Liu sat together, and the seniors, including Kim Ha-neul, sat together, so we didn’t have to sit near each other……
“…Why did you come here?”
“Well, being alone is a bit…”
“Didn’t you understand what I said? Just go away.”
“I won’t even sit right next to you! I’ll just sit in the back, so please…!”
The last remaining person, a short male student, braved Liu’s disapproval and sat down near us.
Well, since you’re a first year student, it’s a bit awkward to sit near seniors, but if you don’t want to sit alone, it’s a reasonable idea to come near us.
Isn’t that the story when Rio isn’t around? As long as he’s here, wouldn’t it be safer to sit next to Kim Ha-neul?
“Turn it off, won’t it? It’s good. If you get hit like that blonde bastard, it will turn off on its own.”
“Wow, wow!?”
“I’m not in a good mood because there are so many people on board, but I’m going to sit nearby without fear? First of all, I’ll definitely go to your airport──”
“Mr. Liu.”
“──I absolutely remembered it. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Don’t make any noise at all. If you even make a sound, it’s on your own.”
It’s definitely very picky. I think it might be a bit too much, but Liu Yan is this kind of person.
Didn’t you feel this way when you first met me in the special test? That was already half a year ago.
“……Mr. Liu, do you remember when we first met?”
“Huh? During that special exam?”
“Yes. I feel like a lot of time has passed.”
It’s really nice to have friends. You can also build and share memories with someone.
Originally, the only person I could have this kind of conversation with was Jisoo, but I have new feelings.
Liu closed his eyes for a moment, probably thinking about the first time they met.
“…It’s amazing even now that I think about it. How did you know about the golden toad?”
“Of course it’s a mole, right?”
“Damn it, it’s oily, you bastard.”
Liu is giggling and I am smiling in agreement with him.
Even if the first impression wasn’t good, wouldn’t it be okay if we get along like this now?
In the end, I succeeded in making friends with everyone in the special occupation class and received help in many things.
I just hope that one day I can return the favor with grace.
With a perfect happy ending.
uuung──
“Oh, we’re leaving.”
A plane running on the runway takes off and quickly moves away from the land.
Before I knew it, there was nothing but the blue sea outside the window, and even the clouds were breaking through and flying above them.
If we arrive at the academy like this, we will be able to see Eileen for the first time in a long time.
I have to talk to the saint about the church, meet the warrior again and reconfirm my promise……
Oh, now that I think about it, shouldn’t we look into the romance between Kim Seong-il and Lucas? My head hurts.
Well, I said it would take 5 hours to get there, so if I take a nap while talking to Liu──
──It can’t happen.
“…What kind of bullsh*t is this?”
“Hey, everyone! Are you okay? The plane suddenly shook…!”
“Hey! I told you not to even make a sound!”
“B-but!”
…… My head hurt.
This is just a group project……
Man the crack guy turned time back 2 times
