Chapter 91

oh oh oh

A straw made a loud noise on the other side. The straw was made by piercing the stem of a reed, and the fruit drink weighing 1,200G per cup was sucked in in an instant.

“Is it delicious?”

“yes.”

island cafe.

I had been with Hira before. It is said that it is the most expensive as much as it is the most luxurious, but since this is the only place I know, I just came.

Dark purple hair and brown eyes. A unique style in which only the bangs are tied up and the forehead is exposed.

It’s still before admission, so I can’t see the status, but Lamyu is right.

“I-I’m sorry… … .”

I can’t even pretend to know. Because there is no information at all.

Locktrin apparently never left the house, and it was at Gawil’s coronation that Coltman first let her out into the social world. That is, he was over ten years old.

Even then, I wouldn’t have interacted with anyone else. Since I was hesitating, Ramyu spoke first.

“Don’t you remember me? oh well, it’s worth it. The last time I saw you was eight years ago.”

Eight years ago, when Rockstrin was eight years old.

Then it would be better to just say it.

“Actually, I don’t remember very well.”

“I thought it might be, but… … . It’s kind of sad to hear.”

“Were you at the mansion?”

“yes. I had a room right next to the dining room.”

Despite saying that she was sad, she started talking with a smile on her face.

Ten years ago, Lamyu, who lived in a remote mountain village in the Aindaroch Territory, came to see the market with his grandfather, and Coltman came out to inspect.

Sponsoring a child with a knack for magic is common, but usually just lends a few expensive basic theory books.

However, in Lamu’s house, where not a single lamp was lit, there was no place to open a book, so Coltman first brought Lamu to the mansion and let him live.

“Still, thanks to my brother’s help, I barely understood the theory. At that time, I couldn’t even say thank you and left.”

Even if you can use magic directly after you are ten years old, it is better to acquire knowledge about magic from an early age.

So Ramyu stayed in Tarum for two years and then left.

‘It was a little earlier than Frid.’

Putting together the words that 8 years ago was the last time, it made sense.

Coltman supports quite a few students. There are two other students besides Freed who have been admitted to Summer Turf with Coltman’s sponsorship.

Considering that Freed and I had never met each other, we probably had to find a new building when we brought Frid from Mash.

Ramyu must have stayed in the mansion of Tarum until then.

“I thought a lot about what to say when we met after entering school. This is how we meet.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.”

“Ah, it’s okay. Rather, it is natural.”

Then you hugged me right away without even exchanging a few words with me.

It’s like Lamu. Laughter leaked out at the appearance as he had imagined.

“Your brother has grown a lot.”

“Because it’s been eight years.”

“Did you cover your face on purpose?”

“right.”

I’ll be seeing you more often in the future anyway.

I took off my hood and untied my scarf. Ramyu dropped the straw he was holding in his mouth.

“Wow.”

“Wouldn’t the face have changed too?”

“Well, I don’t know what has changed. Because I’m just watching… … .”

“Because you’re watching?”

I thought he would be mesmerized by the charm of the 10th level, but surprisingly Lamyu answered right away.

“I am drooling. Sup.”

“… … Is that a compliment?”

“sure!”

Even when I was young, I saw it for two years, so I wonder if I was immune. It’s nice to be able to have a normal conversation.

I left the cafe only after Ramyu finished two more drinks.

“What are all those clothes? I don’t think my brother will wear it.”

“Because it’s winter soon, a gift for friends. Would you like to buy one too?”

“I think buying favor with money is too classic.”

“That’s it… … .”

“Because I like the classics.”

“Just tell me to buy it.”

Sponsorships are also diverse.

Aindarok’s financial situation is always tight, so there isn’t much money left aside from tuition.

I wouldn’t have been able to live such a leisurely life if I didn’t have the income from selling ramen. Of course, the biggest thing is that there is no time.

“Can I choose?”

“okay.”

I went back to the store I had been to before. Ramyu smiled and picked out a fox fur shawl and took it to the checkout.

“70,000G.”

“ah… … ?”

turn around and look into my eyes

That’s roughly 700,000 won.

It used to be that kind of store. I came back and tried to put it back in place, so I pushed my back.

“Do all of these as well. Check please.”

7 coins of 10,000G. I had almost used up the money I had brought, and my pockets became lighter.

After accepting the shawl from the clerk, Ramyu trembled.

“It’s my food for two months.”

“Next year, my father will be able to afford some more.”

“Thank you… … . I will think of it as my life and pass it on to my grandchildren’s grandchildren.”

“Don’t go that far.”

If you can buy a favor with a little money, it’s a business that makes a hundred times more.

Total spending today is about 400,000 G. It’s money that gets paid off in a week.

Since ramen shops focus on branch expansion, the profitability is not high.

“Are you living in the island right now?”

“Yep! I am boarding in the western residential district. I earn my living expenses by working at a nearby inn.”

“Didn’t you come on time when you entered school?”

“Since I’ve lived in the countryside all my life, it’s an institution! I also wanted to come and see it quickly. So, my studies took a back seat.”

“I am proud.”

“Ahaha. You will catch up soon!”

There was a parking lot for horse-drawn cars on the west side, so the roads overlapped for a while.

I thought as I looked at the back of Ramyu, who took a step forward with a pleasant step.

If possible, wouldn’t it be better to teach only imaginary theory from the beginning?

“Lamu.”

“yes?”

“Can you follow this?”

Since Lamyu specializes in the water attribute, I raised the 1-star magic [Water Bullet] on top of it a little further than the palm of my hand.

A magic that takes form quickly from a distance without using grass.

As the Imagination Theory is still known only to Summer Turge or the sorcery world, Lamu is new to it.

“Eh, what is that? Is it completely different from what you know? How did you do it? Can’t you show me one more time?”

Dada, run and shine brightly in your eyes. It has to be.

Lamu’s main personality is ‘curiosity’.

“Don’t think about theory, just do what you see and you’ll probably be fine.”

I cast [Water Bullet] and cast it once more. Lamu, who watched this without blinking an eye, soon succeeded in creating a [Sutan] in the same way. It was as expected.

“Is this working?”

“It’s a method devised by me and Her Highness, the 2nd Princess. With the existing theory, it’s difficult to learn if you’re above 3 stars.”

“Ahahaha. Those two saints didn’t study properly… … . It’s called a blessing over the phone, something like this!”

I usually say stupid.

Ramyu is an idiot who has a perfect chin-up in terms of entrance grades, and has recorded the last place in history.

It’s okay because I haven’t worked hard on magic, but it’s because I’ve never studied boringly in other subjects.

More than anything, this guy and Jerome are like that too.

Unlike the 300 refugees, Imagination Theory becomes an optional subject when you enter as a normal freshman.

Rather, it would be better to enlist in the technical department from the time of admission and teach the theory of imagination. It was from that thought.

“If you want to learn, you should probably take the class I teach.”

“Are you my brother? Do you teach classes?”

“I am not teaching. Professors can’t teach this. So, are you interested?”

It’s useless if you’re not interested. It was all thanks to the main character that Lamu became interested in magic, so I had to take that role.

“I-I will work hard!”

But it’s so easy.

This guy was an idiot.

“You can’t just work hard with words.”

“Really! Anyway, that’s what my brother taught me. I want to learn.”

“ruler.”

I put out the basic book of the theory of imagination that I had brought just in case.

A basic book completed with advice from professors, direct teaching of Baeller, and review by Wirain.

From A to Z, all the courses are recorded in detail, it is literally a textbook.

As soon as he received it, Ramyu hurriedly opened the first page and murmured.

“’The magic you know is wrong.’ . . . … Wow, nice dog.”

“dog… … ?”

“Ah, then you can study with this, right? Since there are three months left before admission, I will memorize everything without missing a word!”

“You don’t have to do that. It will be difficult to understand if you do it alone, so just understand it roughly.”

“It’s the kind of personality I do when I do!”

“okay. Believe. See you at the entrance ceremony.”

At the fork in the parking lot, I parted ways with Ramyu. Lamu bowed his head and said hello.

“Thank you so much for buying me clothes! I’ll memorize it all at the entrance ceremony and go find it!”

I responded by waving my hand out the window. Even if it was a small event, it was a clean ending after a long time.

If you take him to the tech department, there won’t be a quiet day. I’m already looking forward to it.

[NEXT EPISODE]

IX. land of ash and sand

:D-1

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

Where are you watching?

How can it happen that if I try to put my mind down just a little bit, it will appear right in line with it. I looked around in the wagon for no reason.

“okay. Thank you, child.”

Wasn’t it a kind of warning not to let go of tension for a moment? Thanks to this, there is no day when my mouth is dry.

The comparison is working hard.

‘The land of ash and sand.’

It is an episode that takes place in the rocky desert between the Empire and the Enpyrians, and it feels like a bonus stage.

There are usually many ruins in Riden.

But this time, the upper tier crossing the Empire and Enpyrian found it, and a joint investigation was launched.

‘It’s not very dangerous.’

An episode where you can definitely get ‘Artifact’, one of the few high-performance items in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞.

As long as you don’t be greedy, there’s nothing dangerous. You can share half and half with Enfirian. Of course, you have to mediate between the two, so you have to go there yourself.

The challenge is to utilize the artifacts obtained in this way in the right place in the future.

“Im here.”

“You worked hard.”

The horse-drawn carriage arrived at the parking lot of Summer Turge at the time of sunset.

I told the members that I would close early today and go back to the dormitory, but I’m bored when I just give away the gift I bought.

I’m going to secretly put it in each drawer and pretend I don’t know tomorrow morning.

I hummed along the promenade to the tech department.

“Eh.”

Why is the tech light on?

There are two keys, so Neil and I have one. Did you have anything to go to the tech department?

“Are you done?”

“The location is right here.”

“Then let’s go now.”

The voices of Ainim, Hira, and Neil were heard in turn. There are three people gathered at this time.

“What are you all doing?”

“Before the Rocks came… … hot!”

I burst open the luxurious door of the technical department and entered.

I saw three people putting their heads together in front of my desk.

“Hey, it’s coming soon! He said he wasn’t coming!”

“Before I come? What?”

“Brother, that… … .”

I saw Ai-nim and Neil looking visibly flustered. Trying to cover something with my body, I abruptly pushed my head in.

“what’s this?”

There is a handle that can be turned on the side of a square box the size of a palm.

“Haa, this is all wrong.”

Hira, the only one of the three who was not taken aback, sighed with a smile.

“Wrong?”

“Because Rocks has been through a lot in the meantime. I was trying to secretly bring you a present.”

“gift? this?”

“yes. I tried to pretend I didn’t know when I asked him in the morning. Would you like to turn the handle?”

I gently turned the handle.

Soon the box opened, and a clear and beautiful melody flowed out along with the sound of winding the spring.

It was a music box.

“Wow, what is this?”

What’s inside is like a decoration, but it looks like some kind of snowglobe, filled with glitter inside a glass sphere.

It’s winter soon, so if you have something like this, it really makes you feel better.

“My younger sister uses her brain a lot, so I tried to make something that would be comfortable to listen to.”

“I came up with the idea.”

“I-I didn’t do anything.”

Only the child secretly avoided his gaze.

so what I guess I wasn’t the only one trying to give a present.

It feels like my heart is beating.

“… … Thank you everyone. Your Highness, well, it must have been of some help.”

“Yes.”

“Oh. I also bought a gift and brought it. It’s embarrassing that I just bought it at the store.”

“Did you go to Jedo to buy clothes?”

“But after choosing, I didn’t buy any of my clothes. This is Hira’s, this is Her Majesty’s… … .”

The surprise was over the water.

It was a day without any regrets.
