“dirty… … .”
No matter how many times I wash it, the residual feeling like bugs crawling on my body does not disappear.
A younger brother who was born after eating his mother. A father who protects his younger brother just because he is a man.
Guardia’s gaze drifted slowly downward.
A milky chest visible instead of the tip of one’s toes.
Her physical features, which were cumbersome when pulling a bowstring or moving, always attracted the attention of men at the academy.
‘dirty.’
Unlike now, when he became a ranker, the shady gaze that poured out from the beginning of admission and the sticky tone that followed from behind.
In the end, what happened today to Guardia, who had studied on that side of things, was engraved in her brain more intensely than being struck by lightning.
Adelian, who came out blushing, and two human figures in a pile of bedding that I could see when I entered the room.
And the black hair that drew his attention.
Fast!
‘This makes no sense.’
Even if he went out like that, he was a younger brother who was afraid of himself in the end.
He was a tyrant only in front of the powerless, a palpoon who did not dare to look at his father and himself properly.
But answer yourself clearly and rather take the initiative to speak?
‘Strange. I’m not sure.’
Apparently, the father’s letter said that Adelian’s trait was determined to be insignificant, but it was perfectly determined that he was incompetent, so he became so confident?
‘no way… … .’
Did I cheat?
‘Actually, what if a special trait came out?’
So what if you believe in that one thing and stand tall in front of yourself?
Gadia’s eyes narrowed.
“I need to find out.”
Is what you know is true?
Before returning to the academy, Guardia hurried to meet the priest who discerned Adelian’s traits.

“Listen. The important thing is to recover your body.”
I took a bite of the pudding, waved my spoon, and pointed at Kane.
“You should eat at least 5 meals a day from now on.”
“A new type of torture.”
“Nono, where is the answer to the words of a gracious employer? Anyway, you have to grow up a lot longer. To be precise, you have to grow your body.”
In the original game and the game, I was dragged into a group of assassins and received assassination training to keep my body sharp, but my thoughts were different.
It’s not cool to have a body like a flimsy sorghum can. Men are muscles, Kane.
You’ll thank me later too, look at me.
Even if I didn’t eat that much in the first place and only took care of it in the second half, since it’s Kane who scored 188 in his official profile, there’s plenty of potential for growth.
“For the time being, I will focus only on eating and resting to build up my basic stamina, and then I will put you into the knights. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m formally appointed.”
The sweet pudding goes well.
“I provide you with the best elixir and potion. But I can’t be a teacher. Because I’m not physically strong. However, it is difficult to invite teachers from outside to teach you. Do you know why?”
“There are no high-class teachers to teach those who are not children of nobles. Unless you’re a street mercenary or an oddball.”
“Yes, this f*cking Kruger family has a great name, and so-called people of lower rank are not allowed to enter. That’s why no matter how much I act as the head of household, I can’t make it stay in my original home for several days, not just a day or two. Unless you will come under my command like you.”
Looking at Kane, who had registered as an attendant right away, I felt a little sorry, but I swallowed it without showing it.
I can say with my own mouth that I am only acting head of household, that I have no real power in the family, or that I am a fool and incompetent, but I must never show weakness.
Words are weak. No matter how you talk, you have to act as if you believe in something.
That guy is a beast, a beast that can bite and rip the weak.
I have to lead him and take the initiative, so I can’t be swayed.
So I had to shamelessly drive Kane into a corner.
“So the only way for you to learn discipline and swordsmanship is with a parachute. And of course they won’t like you. You originally hate me, but you came in under my name.”
“Good to know. But it is better to die now than to give in and not be able to endure that much.”
I’m afraid someone might not be the one with the ‘ex’ indomitable trait… … .
It is said that once a sword is folded, it cannot be used because no matter how many times it is unfolded, the folded traces remain.
But Kane was Kane even if he gave in to me once.
Even if I had to bring all the hardships I had to go through and make them go through, I wouldn’t bend again.
“Don’t die. It’s a loss if you die.”
I said it lightly for no reason, resting my chin on it and laughing.
“Still, since they are knights of their own kind, I won’t really kill you. I’ll just roll it until I want to die.”
“It’s the same everyday as always.”
boy… … .
Knowing that it was true, I averted my gaze and got up.
“For now, I registered as my exclusive attendant. So your room is next to mine. Luna on the right, you on the left.”
If you say you’re thirsty at night, will one of you come right away?
* * *
From noble mtl dot com.
Kane is actually a guy who will do well no matter what he orders.
the problem is me
What do you do if you know where the ancient artifacts scattered all over the place are and how to get them?
Looking at me now, it’s obvious that I won’t be able to go there.
Considering Adelian’s original physical strength, the journey of following Kane would itself be a short-lived shortcut.
After sending Kane to his room, I lay on the bed, holding a piece of paper and a quill, contemplating.
“What can I get with money right now?”
The fairy’s shoes are still in the fairy world, so it’s time to not even look at them… The windscale’s cloak is too far away.
After drawing an X on the two letters, I tapped it and thought about it again.
‘Whether it’s porridge or rice, I have to start with Kane and Luna.’
There are many places to go around with Kane, such as labyrinths and human sacrifices, but you can’t hire ordinary people, and mercenaries are difficult.
In the end, since my ability is running out, I have no choice but to wear artifacts to reinforce it… … .
Low-level wallet warriors carry smart high-end weapons and can PK. Besides, all the party members either don’t know the world well or have communication problems.
Even if it’s like me, they take things and run away or sell them somewhere. Or they aim for a big PK.
At least the low-level mercenaries will be willing to rebel if we get stabbed in the back.
Mercenaries with heavy mouths and high credit ratings are that strong, so it is not impossible for Kane and Luna, who have not finished growing, to be annihilated the moment their greed hits the back of the head.
Even if we hire in the family name, the place we’re going to has to be a little rough. How would you know if you just died from a trap or monster? My body is going to have a lot of loot to do.
God’s contracts are also difficult to obtain, so they cannot be wasted.
“I have to go to the auction house first… … .”
And you should also practice horseback riding. If it was the original Adelian, I would have managed to get on with culture, but I have no experience.
Should I ask Luna to learn things like horse maintenance? Right now, the only available unit is Luna, so there’s nothing you can do about it.
This time, instead of the berserker tree, I have no choice but to raise it as a job character.
With a quill pen on paper, I wrote ‘Vehicle: Horse? All-rounder.’ After writing Luna next to it, I drew a circle and a straight stick, and I drew it too.
It’s time for an objective self-evaluation.
I’m a player, but I’m no different than a non-player. In terms of games, he serves as a guide and commentary, but is not picked up as a combatant.
‘Nevertheless, I can’t help but need it.’
How nice it would be if I just gave them money and opened popcorn in a safe place.
‘No.’
I am the bus driver and Kane will be the bus.
And I will hit everything that threatens me and run.
I drew a big bus next to a piece of paper with a stickman with bunny ears and a stickman just.
Guardia has a thorn bumper, Rachel has a modified engine. Luna is a mechanic, and the other heroines are capable of stealth and high beam… … .
‘Isn’t this a versatile bus?’
It is a grandeur that seems to survive even if it falls into the zombie apocalypse… … .
“Anyway, this is great.”
After roughly organizing my thoughts, I stretched out my limbs to my heart’s content, traced the mural on the ceiling with my eyes, and murmured in a low voice.
Charreuk-
Since the place is quiet, the sound of turning the ring resonates in a clear way.
I rotated the ring using only my fingertips several times, and at the same time read the information of the subspace that was forced into my head.
“half dozen.”
Of the 12 patterns engraved on Kruger’s ring, 6 are filled with gold.
Besides, the rest were filled with different items, but only one of them was empty.
Even though I can hardly guess the size, the size of the subspace assigned to each ring pattern is not small, but that many gold coins.
How many years had it been the gold coins sucked from the continent?
However, even with this much money and all kinds of rare items freely available, only one subspace is empty?
‘How valuable was it that I gave away that much?’
“young master. Alkaido.”
While trying to figure out what it might be, Alkaido’s voice comes from behind the door at the far end.
‘Something annoying happens when you meet Alkaido.’
Reflexively frowning, I sighed, cleared my throat, and opened my mouth.
“come in.”
After getting up on the bed and nervously brushing my hair, I glared at Alcaido’s gray hair as he bowed his head.
“What is going on?”
“I’m sorry to say this, but Halon was taking care of the family business. Is this what the boy ordered?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Or do you think Harlon is stealing the paperwork and stamping it on his own?”
I feel like veins are rising from Alkaido’s forehead at my words with a gentle laugh.
“young master. The documents that have come up to the mainland from all over the continent are not toys. Among the numerous affairs and agendas under the leadership of the Kruger family, those that come to nature are the most urgent or equally important documents.”
“In short, alkaido.”
“Bocchan, please read the documents yourself and make the payment. And I would like to ask you to reject the matters that were announced in the continental notice the other day.”
Yes, alkaido. I was thinking of taking a nap, but it turned out well.
“Why do I do that?”
“Managing the guild with credits instead of gold coins not only gives a sense of belonging to the guild under his command, but also the continent’s commercial districts and… … .”
“Ah, I just got it. After all, it’s our family’s weapon after all, that. is not it? Even if it’s the same amount of gold coins, sometimes they spread more or less to build a line of loyalty, and sometimes they skip or use ideas as prizes with insubstantial credits, don’t they?”
I cut Alkaido halfway through and continued with a sarcastic laugh.
“The value of gold coins fluctuates depending on whether they are gold coins of an empire or a gold coin of a small kingdom, but credits are safer because their value does not fluctuate much more than gold coins. That’s what you’re trying to say to me, Alkaido. by the way. It was too hot.”
“… What do you mean.”
I slowly opened Alkaido’s trait window and checked his traits.
[Alkaido Heyman – Iron-Blooded Butler]
Representative Traits: [Loyalty (A)] [Cold (C)]
Hidden Traits: [Bargaining (C)] [Mysticism (A)]
‘Are you a little taken aback by my words? My coolness has changed a notch.’
The important thing is not to be cold-hearted, and I smiled as I confirmed one more time that Alkaido’s loyalty was at the forefront of his traits.
“The previous head of the household’s idea of making credits a key currency was great. So until now, things have flowed the way we want them to. By the way, alkaido. What if a war breaks out? Is it too big?”
“It can’t be. Now, the continent is closer to stabilization than ever before.”
“It may seem so. But what if there really is a war? What if neither sea nor land can be as safe, merchants cannot move across the country, and the imperial family or each royal family restricts the distribution of goods and requisitions them?”
“that… … .”
Alkaido is not stupid. He looked at me with a little astonishment, as if he had grasped the gist of my words.
“The Kruger Merchant is not a single group, Alkaido. A lot of dots come together and look like one. And if the dots happen to not connect to each other.”
Even if you pour water on countless grains of sand to make them look like one, when the water used as the glue evaporates, they will break apart and scatter little by little in the wind.
“Well, the nature of the body will be fine, but the small merchant companies that are about the size of your fingertips will collapse. Credits are only exchanged for gold coins at the base, but if you can’t come to the base and get tied up without a gold coin in your hand.”
“… That’s what happens when you pretend that a continent-wide war breaks out.”
“Never, Alkaido. Anyway, I’m not crying unconditionally, I just want to relax a little. It’s not about changing in 10 or 20 years. Just one year as a test, how about one year?”
If Alcaido’s allegiance was towards Caiman, I would never be convinced. Alkaido’s loyalty trait had a separate owner.
“… All right, Bocchan. How can you oppose the brute’s insistence as a servant? If it’s just one year, I’ll accept it.”
Because I, the Kruger family itself, was so strong, he must have taken a step back, thinking that there might be information he didn’t know about.
Saying it was only one year would have been a major reason.
“good. Then go out.”
I laughed triumphantly in the joy of victory.
