32 – Field Trip (1)
Sherry’s crystal ball continues to vibrate.
Within seconds, Sherry opens her mouth.
“Please contact me for a while and come…”
“You can just get it from here.”
At my words, she looked at her, and then she quietly nodded her head.
Then, Sherry poured her magic into her crystal ball.
The next moment.
-I heard the story. Daughter
A middle-aged voice came from the crystal ball, cold as ice.
Hearing that voice of hers, she shrinks.
“Yes, Father.”
-I never thought that the day would come when my daughter would be disciplined.
Her head goes down. She speaks quietly
“I’m sorry. Father.”
-Huh, you really disappoint me. She couldn’t even make it to the top, and this time she had an accident in the performance evaluation….
“Ha ha. It’s really absurd.”
At that moment, without realizing it, my true heart came out of my mouth.
-·······.
“·······.”
Sherry looks at me with her eyes wide open.
I never thought that these words would come out of my mouth.
-Who just said that?
“Uh, uh. That is······.”
Sherry is puzzled by the world as she rolls her eyes round and round.
I took the crystal ball from her hand.
Soon, she opened her mouth.
“Yes, hello. My name is Baran, Miss Sherry’s friend.”
-Hoo. Are you the blind archer that was active in the academy?
“I don’t know how he works, but he is a blind archer.”
-Hmm. Yes, I’ve heard your story through rumors. They say he’s blind and shoots an arrow amazingly well, right?
I scratched my cheek at my sudden praise.
Gray has a tendency to treat people with skills well, even if he doesn’t know anything else.
So, even though I cut my words, I showed my kindness like that.
“Yes, well, I just know how to shoot.”
-You are humble. So what did you say was absurd earlier?
He asks me a question in a sharp voice.
The pressure you feel even when you are not in front of you.
I quietly looked at Sherry.
She must have been quite nervous, her eyes quivering.
‘Originally, I would never have stepped forward.’
Now I have decided to take an active part.
And according to my thoughts, surely the system will not stand still.
‘If Gray’s personality is as set up, he’s not really trash.’
Didn’t he also put so much pressure on him to protect his daughter after losing his wife to her demons?
Well, even so, it is an undeniable fact that what you are doing now is trash.
‘I wonder if tax collectors will say honorifics again.’
Thinking of that, I opened my mouth.
“I saw your behavior and said it was absurd.”
-·······.
At that, Sherry, who was next to her, was startled.
At the same time, Miroel nodded her head with a satisfied smile.
– Disciple. Well said. I’m all cold inside.
-Hmm. So why do you think my behavior is absurd? If you’re the daughter of the Patrick family, it’s natural for you to be the chief. So far, no one has ever been out of seniority. It’s the same for me too. In addition, in the case of my daughter, the starting point is different.
“·······.”
-The starting point is different and you start more advantageously than anyone else. But, can’t be the chief? Isn’t it natural to think that you are not making an effort? A ‘blind’ archer.
Gray emphasizes blindness and asks me a question.
Certainly, others may think that I am at a disadvantage because I am blind.
So, from Gray’s point of view, he must have been very disappointed when he heard that he was behind me, a blind man.
As I said, Sherry has a different starting point than anyone else.
But.
“Why are you so sure Miss Sherry is not making an effort?”
-Hmm?
“If I had to pick one of the students who tried the hardest I’d ever seen, I’d say Miss Sherry.”
Sherry’s pupils widened.
I continued to speak regardless of her reaction.
“Every time she goes to her training ground, she is the one who came earlier than me. In addition, she trained herself to bleed whenever others rested. How can she not be dumbfounded when her efforts are ignored by none other than her father?”
-Yes… Like you said, I did my best. However, even though I tried so hard, I couldn’t even get the second seat now.
Behind me and Luden, Sherry is now in third place.
Based on her grades alone, one would think that Sherry’s talent lags behind that of her Patrick parents.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Even if she wasn’t Miss Sherry, she would be like everyone else.”
-····Does that mean that successive family heads, including me, won’t be able to surpass you and a student named Luden in their student days?
“Yes.”
I answered that question without any hesitation.
To be honest, if it were me now, I am confident that I can win even if Gray’s school days challenge me.
Hasn’t it grown so rapidly after this episode?
-hahahaha!
At that moment, Gray burst into laughter as if he was having fun.
Sherry was shocked by Gray’s reaction.
Anyway, it seems that there are not many cases where he reacts like that.
-Can you take responsibility for that?
In an instant, his laughter stopped, and then he asked in a serious voice.
I answered without hesitation.
“Yes, I can take responsibility.”
-Come with your daughter after the first semester.
After that, he contacted me! Hung up
At the same time.
[Hidden Quest- Heroine Sherry’s father has been favored!]
[Player will be given 1,000 points as a reward!]
Cleared the hidden quest
As expected, a system that gives quest rewards when the supporting actors intervene.
With this, I got a rough idea of how the system behaves.
It is clear that the deeper you are involved in the game, the greater the reward the system gives out.
“Ms. Sherry. Did I solve it… Huh?”
“Uh…”
In an instant, she bruises her mouth open as if she had lost her soul.
How great was her shock that she would stare into her void with her empty eyes.
“Miss Sherry?”
“Are you dreaming? Huh. That’s clear. You always dreamed of Baran appearing.”
-My, disciple! This woman is dangerous!
Miroel hugs me and tells Sherry to stay far away.
I opened my mouth, trying to ignore the lumpy feeling I felt from behind.
“Ms. Sherry? Are you okay?”
“Oh, yes. It was a bit of a shock, but it’s okay. Because this is a dream.”
“It is not a dream.”
“Huh? It can’t be. My dad wants me to bring him home with me? How is this real Ahahahahaha.”
“Mmm.”
I can’t. I’m going to do some shock therapy.
I fed Sherry, who smiled awkwardly, a chestnut.
“Ouch!”
The next moment, she touches her tear-stained swollen forehead.
Then, she freaks out.
“Huh? Isn’t it a dream?”
“Of course not. Rather than that, I solved it.”
“Uh, huh? What do we do? What do you want? Ah, my father must have been angry?!”
She shakes my shoulder wildly.
I scratched my cheek and answered the question.
“I don’t think you’re that upset. If you were angry in the first place, wouldn’t there be no reason to ask Miss Sherry to come with you?”
“Uh, hmm. Ha, is that right? Will do something like that It’s been a long time since my father laughed like that.”
She seems to be talking about something to justify her self, but she knows it too.
That Gray wasn’t that angry.
In the first place, isn’t Gray the type to favor people with skills?
“Yes, so, don’t worry. I will take responsibility and prove that Miss Sherry made an effort.”
“······.”
The lobes of her ears turn red.
Feels like I said something and then said something embarrassing.
As awkward air drifts between us, she speaks quietly with an embarrassed voice.
“Thank you. Call me anytime if you need anything.”
After that, she hurriedly ran away with her face red.
Seeing us like that, Miro El opened her mouth with her sullen face.
-It’s clear that she did that on purpose.
***
A week passed and the field trip finally came.
Dale moves on to the main topic while looking at the students.
“As stated in the notice, the field trip starts today. If you pair up in pairs, come to me and tell me where you are going.”
With that said, he leaves the classroom.
The next moment, the students gasp to find a partner to make with them.
Unsurprisingly, most students partner with friends who are close to them.
As a result, there were cases where I went to the same person.
‘Well, it’s not my business.’
That moment when you think about it and get up.
“If only you wished it was okay, would you like to come with me…?”
“Baran. Do you have anyone to share with?”
Luden and Sherry suddenly appear in front of me and invite me.
Unbeknownst to me, I put on a somewhat surprised expression in an unexpected situation.
-You are very popular.
She stares at the two of them as Miroelle hugs me from behind.
To be honest, Sherry was kind of friendly, so she expected it to some extent.
But she didn’t know that Luden would invite me.
‘I decided to take a bold step.’
It’s not even a complete twist on the original.
I answered their questions with a kind smile.
“I’m sorry. I also have someone in mind.”
“Who thought?”
“Who are you?”
The two tilt their heads after hearing my answer.
I slowly turned my head.
After that, I headed to Lilia who was immersed in her troubles.
She looks at me and makes a puzzled expression.
I asked her directly.
“Miss Lilia. If it’s okay, would you like to be in the same group as me?”
At my question, she smiles seductively.
As if they had obtained an unexpected harvest.
“Okay. I wanted to talk with Mr. Baran alone, but it went well.”
While saying that, she straightened her messy tie.
The group of women who were watching Lilia’s actions smiled terrifyingly into the world.
