107 – 107 – Is there something wrong with my youth? #5
107 – Is there something wrong with my youth? #5
A large playground with more than 10,000 students.
A man in school uniform stood in front of the podium.
He was a fine man.
Her hair was also long, down to her shoulders, like a woman’s straight hair.
If she wasn’t tall and had broad shoulders, she would have been mistaken for a woman.
However, the golden epaulettes on his shoulders and the medals hanging on his chest were very intimidating.
Even if you pretend, you can feel that you are not an ordinary person.
“… … .”
He gazed at the surroundings with amber-colored eyes, then tapped the magic crystal microphone placed in front of him with his finger.
Then he said
“I, Mikhail K. Cressford, the 128th Student President of Ludens, declare to the gods on behalf of all students. I will participate fairly and fairly in today’s game and in every moment.”
Student President Mikhail.
He was a man known for his good looks and elegant dignity.
-So cool… !
-I look like a prince whenever I see him… !
How many female students actually squealed while looking at the declaration of the opening ceremony of his sports day.
Rumor has it that there are piles of presents like sweets, candies, and expensive handkerchiefs pouring into your locker every day, making it difficult to deal with them?
That’s when Nike stabbed me in the side.
“What does Viktor think of the student council president now?”
“Is it the student council president?”
What do you think?
envy
Handsome men are real cheaters.
If I had become that Mikhail instead of Viktor, I would have been doing nothing and healing by now.
All kinds of girls huddled towards me with a feeling of shame and got lots of love letters.
But now I was so far away from the fresh pink airflow like dating.
It’s the same whether it’s a game or not.
The only pink in my life right now is Nike hair.
“… … .”
But how can people’s hair be pink?
As I was looking at the top of Nike’s head, Nike trembled and said.
“I hate that person! student president!”
“yes?”
“It seems like I’m going to live on meat for every meal… ! It must be a bourgeois who has never had dirt on his hands… !”
“It just happened that way.”
The muddy spoon Nike seemed to have an instinctive hostility towards those who live well without hardship and worries. However, prejudice against people based on appearance alone is not productive.
“Nike, you shouldn’t judge people just by their appearance.”
“That is by the way. That student council president is rumored to be bad among the female students. He said he was the enemy of women! bad guy!”
Was it
Unlike his grandiose title, student council president Mikhail must have been a supporting character who had no presence in the first semester and then left after the ‘election’ event in the second semester.
The fact that bad rumors about him were circulating among the female students was quite interesting.
While wondering what the content was about, the student president said into the microphone.
“Then, with this, the 137th Semester 1 Ludens Sports Day begins.”
Wow—and loud applause.
Soon, musical instruments played marching songs, and countless balloons and flocks of michurites soared into the sky.
Food Duck.
-Dot… !
– Dot dot… !
A bunch of balloons and michurites embroidering the sky.
And seeing all the national flags engraved with the patterns of all the families and heroes of the mainland fluttering in the wind, my heart is a little excited.
Nike asked.
“Victor is an odd team, right?”
“Yeah, it’s the first half. Nike, you too.”
“right! I’m in class B-1 too! Of course, I don’t have anything assigned to me in class… .”
“Anyway, we have to do business. Let’s prepare slowly. I have to sell lots of cotton candy and slushies to reduce my debt to 100 million won.”
“yes!”
Nike clenched his fists and showed enthusiasm.
But Nike’s emerald eyes were looking at the classmates gathered there.
Embroidered on the flag with the flag bearer are the letters ‘B-1’.
Is it a Nike class meeting?
They wore red bands on their heads and were encouraging each other by saying “Let’s do our best!” or “Going on!”.
– In the relay race, I will run the marathon. Jump over obstacles and eat mushrooms as planned Mario, you go out.
– Yes. How do girls play?
– Support those who want to participate… .
I’m young.
It is an enviable talent to be able to cling to sports events so hard.
I heard that the class that achieved the top of the rank is given an additional budget that the class can use.
Maybe that’s what makes it even more zealous.
Also, students with good grades will receive attention from the guild’s headhunters and personnel officers, so it’s good to raise their ransom.
In fact, the adventurer’s guild officers who arrived from various places were staring at the students.
“This year, there are more outstanding students than last year. Class A is especially like that. It is good to say that this is mostly complete.”
“There seem to be a lot of buds in Class B and Class C that will allow their talents to bloom. I’d love to see you.”
A place where multiple interests collide.
That is Ludens’ great athletic meet.
“… … .”
Nike was looking at those people with a gaze full of envy.
This gaze was familiar to me.
When I was young, I also looked at the children with toys in their hands that you get when you purchase a ‘kids hamburger set’.
Then, Nike said, “Okay, I’m going to do my best in this business as well!”
There was a hint of abandon somewhere in those eyes.
They must have given up because the world they lived in was different.
Dirty spoons are good at giving up like this.
Like those students, Nike had to live a life of repaying ‘debt’ rather than participating in athletic meet shining youth.
But suddenly, I remembered the old days.
Is it really right to give up?
When you’re a student, there are things you can enjoy only when you’re a student.
If you keep working like this, who will compensate you for Nike’s youth?
“Nike, when it’s afternoon, go back to class and participate in the game.”
“me? I?”
Nike seemed a little taken aback by my story.
I added a brief explanation.
“It hasn’t been long since I was transferred to class B-1. So, take this opportunity to get to know your classmates a little better. Also, you shouldn’t be bullied like you were in class C.”
“Don’t get bullied! The kids in Class B are generally nice!”
“Yes, but being friendly with your classmates is the right thing financially and in many ways. There is no better opportunity than the sports day.”
Why, when you go through a crisis together and break through together, you create something like comradeship.
A natural opportunity for Nike to melt into Class B.
And I thought it was a rare opportunity to enjoy my youth.
Nike, of course, hesitated.
“But I have to pay the debt… .”
“You can do club activities and class activities.”
In reality, it’s a tough story.
But this place is actually inside a game.
If you compromise with reality in a game, isn’t there a reason to play a game?
At my words, Nike said, “Ugh, yeah! I’ll think about it!” He nodded.
* * *
“Mom, I also like cotton candy… !”
“okay. How much is each?”
“Five thousand René.”
“What kind of cotton candy is so expensive… .”
“Mom, buy me too… !”
“okay. I’ll buy you this, so you should listen to your mother from now on instead?”
As I expected, many children flocked to Ludens.
Most of them are probably older brothers and sisters, younger sisters who came to support older sisters and older brothers.
They are also prospective students who will be entering the island in the near future.
Cotton candy and slush sold like hot cakes to such friends.
It’s good to make money and see the kids smile.
“You are too busy… ! more than you’ve heard… !”
Victoria grumbled.
Part-time worker Victorica was brought in temporarily due to lack of workers.
He was meticulous in his financial affairs, such as giving change and changing money.
Although he promised to give him a daily wage of 100,000 René, he seems to be paying for it.
I’ve been working part-time these days, and my work skills have improved a lot.
“Slushy and tteokbokki are ready… !? kitchen… ! Orders are running out… !”
At Victoria’s question, I, who was working in the kitchenette on wheels, hurriedly shouted.
“Wait a little!”
My side is busy making shaved ice.
Tteokbokki and slush must be in charge of Enio.
When I turned my head slightly, Enio was busy working in his own way.
“Enio, is completion still far away?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Enio looked at me.
Then, he turns his gaze away.
It must mean you don’t want to talk to me.
It was okay because I was used to receiving cold stares from women.
As long as you do your job well, it doesn’t matter.
With such a feeling, it was around 3:00 p.m.
We decided to take a break while the guests were free.
Victoria said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
“Why is the menu so crowded today? How can you not coordinate in the kitchen?”
I answered simply.
“I am doing my own thing.”
Then, Nike, who was watching this situation anxiously, gestured, “That’s Miss Victoria,” and whispered something into Victoria’s ear.
Sukdeok Sukdeok.
“what? is that real?”
Victoria raised her eyebrows as if she had heard an amazing story, and finally smiled, “Pu-huh.” It was a laugh as if I had heard that it was very funny.
“What, you decided not to talk? not a kid Yeah, that’s great. It happened like this. From now on, the two of us can live without talking for the rest of our lives.”
Victoria seemed oddly happy.
Is it fun to fight people?
Although it is said that fighting and brawling are the most fun.
“… … .”
Enio glanced at Victorica, then quickly turned his head again.
Are you thinking of not talking to Victoria?
anyway.
I knew that Enio had an afterthought.
I never thought it would appear this way at a time like this.
Of course, he knew very well how to relieve Enio’s anger.
With that, it would be able to ease Enio’s mood, just like how a hedgehog that had been sulking stopped erecting its thorns and ate an apple.
But for the time being, I decided to leave it like this.
Lately, Enio has acted too selfishly.
I felt the need to do ‘The Taming of the Shrew’.
It’s good that he corrects his habits a little.
I don’t know if I’m going to go straight to the bad ending, but the likeability will break through minus.
If you’ve been playing the Blackstar route for over 10,000 hours, it’s possible.
For now, what I’m going to do is completely ignore it.
You shouldn’t say things you don’t mean or act low-key in order to get rid of a pout.
Best to just leave it alone.
In terms of dialogue, it can be said to choose “Ignore”.
So, I deliberately turned away from Enio, who seemed to be glaring at me.
“Come to think of it, didn’t Arnoy say he was going to participate in a candy eating contest soon? While we have time, let’s go over there and take a look.”
