37 – Bad Friends (1)
“It looks like here.”
It must have been about 10 minutes since we followed the sheep we gave and walked along the neat roads in District 1.
We entered a residential area lined with luxurious mansions with courtyards.
After a while, our sheep pointed to a mansion.
Is that the home the Rebringer family prepared for our sheep’s academy life?
“hmm… ”
is that right?
For the amount we gave, is that right?
It was an ambiguous mansion that made me think that way.
Looking at it by itself, it was a splendid and luxurious mansion, unlike the mansions that lined up around it.
A luxurious mansion that would be suitable for people with high pockets in this world.
However, when I thought of it as the mansion of our sheep, the splendor and luxury felt like meaningless extravagance.
Our sheep was so elegant that he would fit well even if he lived in a luxurious palace-like place, but he himself was a person who felt uncomfortable living in such a luxurious building and seemed like he would live in an ordinary mansion.
“What is that reaction? Is there something wrong with our mansion?”
In response to my ambiguous response, the amount of money I gave asked.
“No, it’s not that there is a problem.
“Kuhm.”
When I call him Gyeong, our sheep clears his throat with a more uncomfortable expression than when he showed an ambiguous response to the mansion.
“Oh, excuse me. Rather than saying there’s a problem, I think it doesn’t suit the amount I gave you.”
“You don’t get along with me, what does that mean?”
“What should I say… It doesn’t match the amount I gave… Too extravagant?”
“… what is it, that Are you saying I’m not good with flashy things?”
The sheep we gave asked back with a face that seemed to have hurt his pride.
If I’m evasive here, wouldn’t it be that I put on all sorts of flashy clothes and ornaments until the words came out of my mouth: ‘The amount you gave me looks really good with fancy ones’.
‘oh… ‘
A sheep we gave dressed in luxurious clothes and ornaments.
Thinking like that, making fun of the amount we gave here felt like a very attractive option, but I managed to endure it and said what I originally intended.
“Please. Wouldn’t the amount we gave go well with something? However, the amount given within me is a little more-what should I say. Sincerity? I’d say you’re the one who did it. It’s an image that doesn’t seem like someone would prefer something overly flashy like that.”
“No matter how you think about it, it seems sarcastic… ”
Sheep looked at me with a very suspicious face.
I smiled with the purest heart possible to prove my innocence.
“… It is also sarcastic.”
“Ooh.”
“Well, it’s not entirely wrong, either way. Certainly, I don’t like this mansion all that much either. But what would you do? Our family was already in this state when we received the transfer.”
“Transfer?”
From noble mtl dot com
“This mansion was handed over to our family by the Arien City Council.”
“…Why? Why did the Arien City Council hand it over to the Rebringer family?”
“Anyway, it’s probably because it’s convenient for me to enter the academy.”
“…”
Right now at this moment.
I felt anew that the sheep we gave were people living in a completely different world from me.
Arien was one of the richest cities in the world.
I remember feeling like New York, Hong Kong, or Singapore.
District 1 was the richest area in Arien.
This residential district was the richest village in such District 1.
With a little exaggeration.
Now this place is the most expensive land in the world.
By the way, you received the transfer of a mansion in such an area with a yard and a large egg planting?
‘How many years will it take for me to live in a mansion like that?’
My imagination, which is still in the category of ordinary people, came up with the answer, ‘Wouldn’t it be possible to buy it if I worked for about 5,000 years after gaining the ability to become immortal?’
‘Are you dizzy…?’
As far as I know, all academy cadets are provided with accommodation by the academy, but nobles have a separate residence in Arien.
To put it mildly, it was the tradition, culture, and face-to-face unique to the aristocracy.
To put it badly, it was a bluff peculiar to aristocrats, bluff and ostentatiousness.
Even though they are provided with lodging, they prepare a separate personal space and show off their status as a noble family through the size and splendor of that personal space.
In the case of lower nobles, there are even cases where the pillars of the family are shaken while trying to follow the culture.
Does the story change when you become a high-ranking aristocrat?
Does it provide shelter at the city level like that?
“To be offered a place by the city council. Is that a normal case for high-ranking nobles like you?”
I carefully asked the three people behind me, Adela, Aidrin, and Miz.
“what? Of course not.”
Miss Aedrin replied immediately.
“In the normal case… do you think it makes sense? Most families are not offered mansions here, on Agenna Street. Even if they wanted to find a place on this street, they wouldn’t be able to find one?”
Adela supplemented.
“Our Bauer almost got a pillar pulled out even though we were preparing a mansion on the outskirts of District 1.”
Ms. Mizu served her four feet.
Apparently, the story of the sheep we gave was a story from another world, not only to me but also to the three high-ranking noble ladies.
According to the stories of those ladies, this ‘Agenna Street’ is a place where it is difficult for even high-ranking aristocrats to recklessly move in.
It is a secondary reason that the house price is expensive and it is difficult to find a property for sale.
The biggest reason is that Arien’s city nobles treat Agenna Street as a kind of symbol.
‘Only those who can proudly walk the streets of Agenna are true citizens of Arien’ or something.
According to that trend, it is said that it is not unusual for Arien to give Agenna Street to outside nobles.
however.
The mansion located in the yolk land of Agenna Street was ‘transferred’ to us.
No wonder newbies ask, ‘What the hell is the 8th family?’ and ask.
It wasn’t that the deceased people answered, ‘It’s comfortable to think of them as members of the imperial family or heavenly dragons’.
We entered the mansion with tired faces following the sacrificed sheep.
Crossing the luxurious yard, I listened to the words of the sheep in the lead.
“The exterior of this mansion… is a big departure from the values my family pursues. So, when we received the transfer, there was talk of demolishing the building itself and building a new one.”
What if there is no bread? You have to eat the cake.
What if you don’t like the building? Tear it down and build it again.
The mindset itself was different from ours.
“However, to tear down and rebuild a building simply because you don’t like its appearance. What kind of waste would it be? Some people in the family, including me, were extremely against it, and as a result- the story ended with the mansion being used as it is. “
Of course, our Miss Drone was very sincere, even with a different way of thinking.
“Hearing that story, it feels like this mansion has finally become perfect. The restraint and dignity that were lacking in the past have been filled with Lord Drin’s thoughtful thoughts, hahahahaha.”
Our sheep looked at me in disgust.
“Such- you’re so good at talking about flattery that makes me feel embarrassed just thinking about it.”
“Can I tell you the secret?”
“Where, tell me.”
“When choosing words, you should do so with the mindset of expressing the feelings you are feeling right now, not with the mindset of flattery.”
“Oh my God. Do you like it?”
When I put my hand on my chest and recited it in a reverent manner, the sheep gave me a disgusted look.
In fact, the real secret was the reaction of our sheep.
What would you do if you could see such a reaction?
As if my sheep were running away from me, I speeded up my pace and approached the door and knocked.
Then, shortly after, the door opened.
“My lady, are you here?”
neatly braided hair.
Angled glasses, more angular and strict atmosphere than that.
And a tidy maid uniform without a speck of dust or even the slightest disturbance.
The person who greeted our offering was someone who completely fit the maid stereotype that existed within me.
“oh.”
I was unknowingly amazed at the perfect maid image.
“… ”
No matter how they interpreted my reaction, stinging glances flew in.
“…”
And among those stinging gazes, the most stinging one was none other than the maid’s gaze.
It was only a short time, but the maid’s gaze, which left a sharp sting in me, immediately moved to Drin.
“Are you guests?”
“Yes, Yena. These are the guests I invited to the mansion I saw today.”
yes?
‘Ah, I remember hearing the name.’
Jena.
She was a handmaid who played the role of guardian of Drin, who came to Arien to attend the academy.
It reminds me of an evaluation of a person named Lee Yena that I saw in a post or video one day.
[Wow, what the f*ck is this not a maid, but a destroyer?]
I had a sudden thought.
If I hadn’t caught that assassin today, wouldn’t that assassin have been lightly cut by Yena’s hand?
Just like that, from the Libringer family’s point of view, Jena, the handmaid who played the role of guardian of our sheep, who will live in Arien, a foreign country, was of course a huge monster.
Seriously, did something unfair happen to Drin at the academy?
At that moment, Yena will storm into the academy alone, grab the professor by the collar, and argue directly.
no, that’s not bullsh*t
Because it actually happened in the game.
That kind of Yena looked at me meaningfully.
“…”
I guess with my needlessly sensitive senses.
I wondered if the meaning contained in that meaningful gaze was like this.
‘Why is such an insignificant man by my lady’s side?’
It was like a mother’s gaze at the poor friend her daughter brought home.
