Summer embraces blue (1)
Sleepy’s day begins with a loud alarm.
-Beep~ Papa Poo! Beep beep beep beep beep!
When I wake up, plugging my ears to the loud sound of a loudspeaker that makes people feel like fools, I see the bedroom where my colleagues are lying tightly.
Seeing 8 people lying on top of each other on an 8-story bed that is less than 4m tall reminds us of the meat locker of a fully loaded fishing boat.
Would you believe it if twenty-four people were packed into a narrow, dark room about six pyeong in size? I didn’t know it was possible until I went in myself.
“Ugh…:”
“Is it morning already?”
Even guests on the 8th floor, which has the most free space, cannot stand up and go down, so they have to roll their bodies and climb down the ladder. Most of the prisoners couldn’t even get out of bed yet because there was no place to step.
Prisoners waiting for the guards, standing behind bars that densely block their view.
In the midst of not having enough space to stand, a room for female prisoners enters in a blurry vision due to lack of sleep.
“i envy you······.”
There are only 15 prisoners in a room over there. It didn’t fill the garden.
Thanks to that, the prisoners in room 109 each had a private space that was a span of their own.
“Prisoners start roll call this morning!”
The guards open the bars with the clear voice of the guard. Hundreds of pouring prisoners moved to one side as if they were accustomed to it.
-chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck!
Even in the chaotic movement of hundreds of people moving at once, the prisoners are orderly like a well-trained army.
The place they arrived at was the convict ward and the parade ground. About an hour out of the day. It is the only space where prisoners can eat dinner and breathe.
“From now on, the morning roll call begins!
Of course, there is no such thing in the morning.
“Dunaref morning gymnastics!
one! two! one! two!
one! two! one! two!
488 prisoners who matched five and row repeat gymnastics with one heart and one mind.
Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?
No one makes a miss in mastery gymnastics. Don’t worry if someone made a mistake. It won’t be soon.
“Towards the golden potato flower flag~ salute!”
After a final salute to the flag of the Dunarev family, they move to the communal dining room.
In the meantime, a voice calling out to sleepy from the back of my neck. Here, he is a prisoner who is right above Jolene.
“Hey, sleepy. What’s for breakfast this morning?”
“Hmm… boiled and baked potatoes. They said dried potatoes.”
“It’s a potato again? Damn it. Did a dead ghost cling to it because you couldn’t eat potatoes?”
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Just at that moment when the senior prisoner mumbled. The warden who was controlling the movements of the prisoners flashed his torn eyes.
“What!”
“Uh, go, guard. That’s not it…!”
Before the senior prisoner could finish his excuses, a large birch club struck the prisoner on the head.
The guard did not look at the prisoner who had fallen in one shot. They are clubbed and kicked without any sympathy.
“You scum eat! Potatoes! Potatoes! Potatoes! Farmers’! Blood, sweat! Shed! Cultivated! Precious! The people’s! It’s a tax!”
– Kwap!
In the end, the club broke before the person. It’s common in this prison.
“Where are the worms in society who don’t even know the favors of Duke Marde and Duchess Ellencia!”
‘······it’s crazy. This town is crazy.’
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Jolene gulped and swallowed her displeasure inwardly, but the jailer gave him a searing gaze.
“Hey, 4886. Any complaints?”
“Oh no!”
“Behave right.”
After a poor breakfast, I go straight to work.
The prison where Jolene is imprisoned is a notorious penal salt pan in the South. It is a 3D industry that boasts a murderous workload of trapping seawater, drying it in the sun, and collecting sea salt.
Of course, there are numerous salt mines in the South. In the first place, the kingdom’s main consumption of salt was rock salt, which was of better quality and cheaper.
Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?
Nevertheless, the reason these penal salt fields exist is to feed the prisoners rather than profit.
This penal salt farm, where only vicious criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, forced hard labor, and the harsh treatment did not allow prisoners to survive for long, so it was a harsher punishment than the death penalty.
“Heo-eok… heo-eok…!”
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Jolene repeated hard labor stepping on the seawater in the scorching sun.
He was once an elite mage of the promising Mage Tower, but now he is just a prisoner with the number 4886.
The head of the school, Elder Chun-shik… No, he was the successor to the enemy’s magic school after Admalek, so how did he become like this?
It’s all because of that woman who’s crazy about potatoes and that guy who looks like a swallow!
If it wasn’t for those bastards, his future would have been bright!
“Wait and see… After this dark period, I will fly again. Is this Professor Jolene likely to collapse from here…”
The Magic Tower is strong.
There’s no way we’ll be left here forever! In the near future, the Mage Tower’s rescue team will come to rescue you!
Sphero Sphera.
As long as you don’t give up, there is hope. Just as Jolene dreamed of tomorrow, a group of people rushed into the vast salt field.
newcomer? Well, considering the prisoners who died on a fictitious day, new prisoners were needed.
“uh?”
Sleepy doubted her eyes. That would be the case, because the leader of the group entering the salt pond was a familiar face.
“Ph, Professor Ronald?”
“Professor Jolene…”
Professor Ronald of the Mage Tower, who was considered the next Elder of the Blue School of Magic. did he come here?
Looking closely, the wizards behind him are also familiar! Aren’t they all powerful high-ranking mages!
“Professor Ronald! Are you finally here to save us?”
“············No. We got caught too.”
“·······.”
Hope is the mask worn by despair.

The story of the abduction of the saint and the subjugation of the magic tower was about a month ago.
A hot sunny summer day in mid-July. At a place where more than a thousand students gathered, Master Erin’s lecture was over.
“Huh~ summer vacation?”
This is the third vacation since returning. A lot had happened during that time.
After saving Marie, defeating the King of Iron Mountain and Fermak Danan, and witnessing Marie’s terrifying background.
The inn business that I invested in debt was almost going to go out because of a bat that flew in from somewhere, and I was able to protect it at the end of a tear show.
At the festival, he prevented the sublimation of ‘Hu’ in the Netherlands and had a fake engagement in Adenga in the east.
After the winter vacation, the first semester of the second year. The seeds that were sown have not yet germinated, but the events that have taken place in the meantime must have changed the face of the world.
‘The magic tower collapsed. Is the Catholic Church next?’
Time is running out to deal with the Hale Hydra guys hiding in the Protestant Church. Since I became close with Estelle through this incident, I need to slowly persuade her and weed out the inside.
“Corin! Did you pack everything in advance?”
“I have nothing to pack.”
Two spears in one backpack. This is all I have to pack. In comparison, Marie was carrying a backpack that was bigger than her body.
“Will you leave it to Deokgu?”
“Yeah~ It’s okay. We can upload it to Hresbelg later.”
I was thinking of going this way to the royal capital. Actually, I don’t have anything to do, I’ll see my parents after a while, and there will be a reward ceremony at the royal level.
For that reason, we decided to meet other Guardians members like Yuel and Cranel at the capital.
“But are you okay?”
“Huh? What?”
“I wonder if it’s okay to not go back to my hometown this vacation.”
“It’s okay! They say the royal family gives them medals! It’s also an honor for the family! I still have to supervise the royal capital branch! Above all…
Marie took a quick look around and saw that no one was watching her, so she grabbed my finger.
“Because Corinne is going to the royal road.”
“Kuh, keuhum…!”
“lol······.”
How fresh can a girl who falls in love for the first time be? My face burned when I realized that love was heading for me.
“Then… shall we go?”
“Give me Corinne’s luggage. I’ll ask Deokgu to carry it.”
“Ah, it’s okay. That’s about it…”
Deok-gu plays too much these days, but I still don’t want to be the father he calls for trivial things like this.
“But Corinne. That’s in the backpack…”
Marie’s gaze turns to my backpack. Aside from the two spears, a red spear and a silver spear, there are things that stand out clearly.
“Are you undried?”
“Isn’t that… what the church calls the Holy Grail? Can I just carry it around like that?”
“At first glance, it’s just a big cauldron, right?”
“Eh, I guess you wouldn’t know unless you looked closely.”
Magic Cauldron Undri. One of Danan’s four treasures obtained after defeating Dun Skys, it is a treasure that symbolizes the Divinity of God King Dagda.
There is no doubt that Undry is a great treasure comparable to Claus Solas, but right now there was no particular use for it. It’s because I wasn’t chosen by Undry.
“It’s a pity… it’s a powerful god.”
“I can’t help it because there’s no one to write to.”
Unlike other treasures, the 4 major treasures are tricky items that are chosen by their owners. Well, even Dun Skys was closer to being parasitic to Undry rather than using it properly.
I got Undry in the previous round, but I couldn’t use it in the end.
“Can I tell you a secret?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“If you boil potatoes here… it’s very delicious.”
“Huh! Really?”
“It’s just that everything cooked in this cauldron becomes the ultimate delicacy. There’s no such thing as this in the field, right?”
“Gwa, will it be okay? If you treat a divine object like that…”
“Well, even in mythology, food is said to be a cauldron that springs up infinitely, so isn’t this a desirable method?”
“Is that so?”
“Let’s leave soon. It’s gorgeous and Arisha will be waiting for you.”
“Yeah! There’s a hotel I know when I go to the royal capital. We should all stay together there.”
“It’s a hotel you know, right? It’s not a senior hotel.”
“············ The hotel chain is in my brother’s name.”
How far did Dunareff’s financial power extend? I was genuinely curious.
* * * *
Ludin Locke and Suel Locke, who live on the 21st Street of the Royal Road of the Kingdom of El Las, started a busy morning today.
The couple ran a small restaurant, and it was their daily routine to get up early in the morning and cut potatoes for business.
Ordinary petit bourgeois who can be found anywhere, living a peaceful life, they recently had one concern.
“Honey, did you see the letter that came this morning?”
“You mean Locke, that unfilial child? I didn’t see it.”
“He’s an unfilial son. He even sends me letters.”
“Ah, what are you doing if you just send me a letter! You’re a bastard who never shows his face!”
That’s because the couple’s eldest son, Corinne Locke, hasn’t plucked her nose since she entered the academy last March.
“I raised my child wrong! I said I raised him wrong. He ate some academy stuff and I can’t even see his parents!”
“Oh, don’t do that. It must have been because he was busy.”
“You’re busy, bitch! Were you busy going to the south to play last summer, and to the east in the winter?”
I was nervous about entering the dangerous Guardian Academy.
Suel did not bother to soothe her husband, who was clearly furious. I will say that. If you are so worried, you should write a letter yourself.
Anyway, the men in this family are ignorant of emotional expression. The same goes for my son.
“Still, it seems that Corinne is getting a lot of recognition these days. He’s doing some kind of promotion, Guardians? They seem to have formed a club among themselves.”
“Is there a club at Guardian Academy?”
“It’s okay. It’s where the kids go. It’s probably because our Shia is also the president of the club at the Royal Academy. Brothers and sisters stand out with their talents wherever they go. Maybe it’s because they resemble someone.”
“It’s because he resembles me.”
When do you say it’s a child?
“Anyway, I came up to the royal road this vacation.”
“Is that real?”
slap! Whenever he turns around, Ludin quickly brightens. While giggling at the sight of him, Suel pulled out the letter he had received this morning.
“Look here. I’m coming up to the royal road with my friends.”
“Hmm… Huh? The royal ball? Are you planning on going here too?”
“I heard that the saintess was kidnapped this time.
“Heh heh, that bastard. Maybe it’s because he looks like me, but he’s brave.”
“I wonder if he suffered in a dangerous place.”
“Of course, if you’re a man, you should make a name for yourself and get ahead in the world! Heh heh!”
As if proud of his son, Rudin looked at the letter over and over again, unable to contain his laughter.
He is an unfilial son who hasn’t seen his face in a year and a half since he entered the academy, but judging from the letters, he seems to be pioneering his own path.
“That guy. Did he date a girlfriend at the academy?”
“Well, Heo Woo-dae gave birth perfectly, but it’s not like he’s coming with friends. At that age, if you were in a relationship, would you hang out with your friends?”
“Couldn’t you come with me this time… to introduce you to your girlfriend?”
“It’s ‘friends’.”
“Hmm… that’s it too.”
Still, Rudin did not disappoint.
He is the eldest son who looks just like me and my mother, looks fine, and has a nice face. It’s about time you get to know ‘one’ girlfriend.
“Hehe, I’ll have to catch at least one hen.”
“The main book.”
The Locke couple started a fun day waiting for their son to return home after a long time.
One girlfriend? You will at least get 5 daughter-in-law who are obsessed with your son🤣🤣🤣🤣
Atleast one huh? Mission Overachieved
It’s not just one, it’s many LMAO
