020. Zeke’s Sword (3)

‘This girl… … . I wonder if she was called Elise in the academy… … .’

Zeke felt cool as if something had been hollowed out.

No matter how much you are running through the seven roads,

It was a car that I thought was strange that I couldn’t remember the heroine with such an unusual name.

So, when I first heard the name muddy spoon

I wanted to do this, but somehow I couldn’t conclude it and attracted other students.

“Soy Spoon, no, you seem to like being called Elise. Let’s call it that.”

“Eh…? Ah, ah…”

She bit her lips tightly and bowed her head, as if embarrassed to have heard her embarrassing name.

‘Damn the writer, why did you twist the name again?’

I don’t remember because I was possessed in the middle of the series,

It was probably used as a gag scene related to the name in later developments.

Or, there could have been a development in which the wicked woman came and found out first and insulted them.

“Soyi, who are you? No way… Boyfriend?”

“Brother, you are very handsome.”

“T-You can’t say that! He’s the academy instructor.”

At that, her older sister and younger brother looked at Zeke with startled expressions.

Soy Spoon stepped forward as if he didn’t want it to go on like this.

“Well, Instructor, what happened…”

“Isn’t this a bakery? I came to buy some bread.”

“Ah! Bread! Yes, yes! Welcome back. But the remaining bread is already out of date…”

Soy Spoon said with an expression that he wondered if he could feed a nobleman something like this.

“Does not matter.”

‘I was just hungry, so I was going to buy bread and go back… … . It wouldn’t be a bad idea to build up a little friendship with Yeoju while we met by chance here. If possible, let’s lay down a little build-up brought to swordsmanship lessons.’

“Originally, I only came here to buy bread, but… It’s fate that we met, so can we talk for a bit?”

Soi Spoon looked slightly surprised at that statement, then nodded as he thought of Zeke pointing at him at the entrance ceremony last time.

“So, would you like to come inside and have a cup of tea?”

“Um, I’d like some bread, too.”

Zeke entered the bakery with a soy spoon.

with my daughter-

The inside was a simple space made of wood.

There were traces of repairs here and there, and the smell of bread permeated everywhere, making it look warm.

A few candles dimly lit the interior.

It didn’t look very prosperous, but it was a bakery that showed that it had been maintained with affection.

Seeing Zeke looking around, Soy Spoon scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Sorry for being a bit shabby…”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“to?”

“No apologies needed. It’s a good store.”

Zeke ate and slept in a nice house every day, and his body was comfortable, but at the same time he slightly missed this roughness.

Especially from dawn like today, the attendants cling to you, wash your body, tinker with your face, do your hair, and so on.

It was even more so on the days when I was tormented.

growl-

‘Ah, hungry Shiba.’

“Then, please sit down inside for now!”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Soi Spoon was the daughter of a poor commoner.

My father died when I was young so I don’t remember.

mother, sister, younger brother and herself. The four of them were the whole family.

She hated her name from a very young age.

If ‘Soyi’ was just the name, I would have happily accepted it.

Mother, be a person as solid as the ground. Although it is said that

However, when combined with the surname Spoon, it became a ‘dirt spoon’.

Living in this world as a commoner without a head of household is quite daunting,

Even though her mother and older sister worked so hard at the bakery, they could not escape poverty.

While her mother and older sister worked, Soyi did housework and sewing during the day and studied at night.

Because I wanted to get out of poverty somehow.

If you are a commoner who can read and write in the system, there is still a way to earn some money.

Then one day.

She was on her way to the grocery store on her mother’s errand, when she happened to see a notice on the wall for the entrance exam to Ramieli Academy.

‘Uh, even if it’s a commoner… … . Can I go?’

A thunderbolt struck in my head.

Speaking of Ramiel, the best academy in the empire.

If he graduated from here, his future was guaranteed.

Not only will you be able to escape poverty, but you will also be able to live in abundance.

‘When I graduate from here, my family won’t have to suffer anymore.’

Having made up her mind like that, she expressed her intention to take the test to her mother and older sister with a firm face.

Then, the mother and sister looked at each other and laughed bitterly, then took out the money they had saved up even though they had no housekeeping.

“Soyi, we knew you were studying.

So-yi was moved by the consideration of her family and shed tears.

“Mom… but I’m not Soy, but Elise…”

“Yes, Soi. It’s not much money, but if you borrow the money here, something will work. Let’s pay your tuition fees with this and open a shop near the academy. It might work well there, but I’ll try my best to survive until you graduate.”

“……Thank you so much, sister, but I, Elise……”

The money that my mother and sister saved up like that. money you have saved. Add to that a huge debt

At last, I was introduced to a shabby place at the far end of Academy Street, straddling the old city.

It was a cheap place because of the loud noise of metal clapping both at night and during the day.

Even that cost far more than they expected.

To the extent that it would have been better to just send money from the village.

Even if they bought this place, Soi’s tuition became a problem.

It was the mistake of those who did not think about the price of the system at all.

However, the entire Bari-Bari family has already packed up and left the village.

When I was wondering if I should go back to the village.

Soi had an accident.

What a top admission!

“Mom!! My sister!!! I’m the top of the admissions class!!! The top of the admissions class!!!! The tuition fee is waived!!!”

“Really!!? Elise!!!!!! My daughter is doing great!!!!”

“Elise!!! I believed in you!!!”

“Now you’re calling me Elise!!”

That’s how she got the academy’s tuition waived

Conditions were created for commuting to school while maintaining the store tightly.

Even so, making the decision to settle down was not easy.

but

The fact that I had to stay away from Soi for 4 years

Among those who, even commoners, all take a single shot

I thought that Soi, who was from a poor village, would not have a place to lean on properly.

The family eventually decided to open a bakery here.

Fortunately, the bread was delicious, and the price was cheap, so the servants sent by some nobles were coming little by little, thanks to word of mouth.

However, the person himself came looking for him.

The one who shocked and shuddered at his entrance ceremony speech.

The swordsmanship instructor who made even her, who had never thought about swords at all, clenched her fists.

In front of him, he pretended to be calm, but now Soyi’s head was a mess.

‘Ahhhhh -what, what should I do? Tea is just leafy tea, isn’t it? Dad, the bread!? The only thing left is the hard baguette made in the morning!!

What kind of confidence did you have to come inside? Soyi just wanted to punch her in the back of the head.

‘Seeing. You dirty my mouth with something like this! Aren’t you hitting me? … … If you get beaten, will you give me money for treatment?’

I wrapped my head and thought about it, but once I went inside, I couldn’t help but treat anything.

I warmed the crusty bread over the fire and brewed the tea.

Soyi came out of the kitchen and headed to the table.

My hands were shaking, and the tray of leaf tea and baguettes rattled.

“Yes. Your sister said she was the head of the class.”

“Really!? That one? I thought you were lying!”

“Don’t call her her. She’s your sister.”

‘James! Why are you calmly sitting and chatting with the instructor!’

Startled, she looked at her older sister, but her eyes were already dead as she was standing right next to the wall.

Soyi forcibly raised the corners of her mouth and called out to her damn brother.

“My, James?”

“Ah, Sister Elise!”

“It’s not Elise, it’s Soi! Huh?”

For the first time, she was embarrassed that her sister had called her Elyse instead of Soyi and was speechless.

greatness. greatness. After clearing his face, Soi said.

“Will James go out for a minute?”

“Huh? I want to keep listening to hyung-ah?”

“J.Im.s.s.poon?”

Calling the full name firmly means that you are in a very bad mood right now.

In times like these, it’s good to be quiet.

James got up and went to stand next to his sister, Celia.

Celia pinched James’ shoulder.

“Aww! Why pinch!”

“Do.tsu.la z.um.s”

Soi was ashamed of his family. Soi hurriedly told Zeke to change the subject.

“Well, Instructor, I heard you have something to say…”

“Yes, the swordsmanship class.”

Soyi placed the tea and unsliced baguette in front of him.

Then he took a bread knife and tried to cut it.

“I thought about it when I heard it, but still, swordsmanship is a bit… Can you make money? That?”

“You mean money?”

“Yes, as you can see, the family situation is a bit…”

at that time.

jump-

“hey!”

Suddenly, five tough men burst through the door.

Let’s see them appearing out of nowhere.

Soy, Celia, and even James hardened their faces.

Celia, who had been glued to the wall, stepped forward first.

“Why did you come again!? Didn’t you pay the interest last time?”

Among them, a man with a square jaw said with a chuckle.

“Ah, I did get it back then, but it seems like I’m running out of money.”

“No way!”

“Oh, didn’t we tell you? That the interest goes up by 50 silver per month.”

“Such nonsense!!”

Soi, who was sitting in front of Zeke, also stood up and shouted.

“You signed the contract in the first place!”

“A contract? Was there such a thing?”

Soi thumped and went to the corner of the store and took out the contract.

“It’s written here! Surely then…!”

However, after Soyi had stopped talking, the man grinned.

“Um, but is that okay? We’re taking your mother with us?”

“Oh, mother!”

“I think business here is doing pretty well these days. If you earn a lot originally, shouldn’t you know how to share as much as you earn?”

The men around him who came in with him also giggled and laughed.

“That’s right, that’s what people live for!”

“Even if you borrow a lot of money, you shouldn’t be unaware of the fear of money.”

“If you don’t like that… well… there are other ways…”

Those who look at Soi and Celia with sticky eyes.

Soi’s eyes twitched.

My mother must have gone out the next day saying she was going to buy ingredients. However, it seemed that they were caught on the way.

‘These despicable bastards!’

After first arriving in the islands

When I was wandering the streets looking for a place to open a shop

They were introduced by the building contractor.

They said they would lend money at a fairly reasonable interest rate with a smile on their faces.

In addition, the sweet words that if you do not contract the land, you only have to return the principal.

at last. I borrowed a lot of money

With that money, I opened this Hillrace Bakery.

But now I’m going to raise the interest rate.

“That’s right!”

growl-

Zeke was just staring at the bread in front of his eyes.

He couldn’t even hold a bread knife, so he was waiting for Soyi to cut it.

Eating was a major problem for him, who knew too much about hunger in the world of dark fantasy.

In fact, Zeke was so hungry that he just wanted to chew the whole bread in front of his eyes without cutting it.

I just endured it because I couldn’t do such a thing without a body and head.

Originally, if I had been in the dark fantasy world, I would have been able to easily overcome this hunger.

A different body now. Hunger also came as a normal frequent occurrence.

The outside looked hard, but steam rose and the delicious smell stimulated the nose.

Obviously, the inside was moist and fluffy.

‘filled… … . What’s this… … . fallen leaves? Is it a Romance specialty?’

I was swallowing my mouth like that, but those who suddenly attacked.

Zeke frowned and looked at the men.

‘Mr. Ha, I’m starving to death. What are these bastards?’

Looking at the situation, it seemed that they were probably a group of moneylenders.

‘As expected, our dirt spoon. It’s worth the name.’

Romance protagonists had such hardships as a basic passive like a cliché in the beginning, so there was nothing particularly new.

Maybe with someone’s help, this case will be solved soon.

However, Zeke remembered that now was a good opportunity to pay off his debt to Soy Spoon.

‘Shall we eat some bread and think about it? I must be really hungry.’

To be honest, Zeke didn’t feel a sense of crisis at all because they were not even a fistful if he stepped forward.

These guys are no different from normal villagers in dark fantasy.

In addition, they also came to extort money, so it didn’t seem like they would hurt them right now.

Even if he was holding on to his mother, to squeeze out money like squeezing dry squid.

I will rewrite the contract and release it.

So it won’t be too late to eat and intervene.

Zeke knew these people’s physiology well enough to be tedious.

‘Elise, I’ll eat only this and help you. Can I cut some bread?’

I stared at Soyi with such a wish, but Zeke seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

Zeke opened his mouth.

“Elise, cut some bread.”

But his words did not reach Soyi’s ears.

Soi glared at the square-jawed man, turned on the lights in his eyes, and shouted.

“Where is mother!”

“Keukkeuk. First of all, give me that piece of paper.”

“Elise, some bread…”

“Bastards!”

“L…….”

“Free Mama!”

Zeke let out a sigh.

It felt like I had to do it as usual.

‘This is very embarrassing on the Yoheiden side.’

Of course, no one cared about Zeke right now.

Every time I ate, my body creaked and I couldn’t move, which was uncomfortable.

He took out a very small, blunt wooden pocarak from his bosom.

I forcefully move my trembling body

A tableware that combines a fork and spoon to secure bread

The time when I was trying to cut baguette bread by pulling mana like a thread from my fingers.

“Looks like we’re kidding!? Huh!? You mean you don’t care what happens to your mother?”

Courageous

“Kyaaak!”

One of the incoming crowd threw a chair.

The thrown chair flew through the air and headed for the table where Zeke was sitting.

Clink.

Took.

Bread fell to the ground. And even drenched in hot tea.

At that moment, my hands became weak and even the pokarak I had been using ever since I came here broke.

“…”

In an instant, Zeke’s body froze.

I looked at the baguette that had fallen to the ground with trembling eyes.

‘If you eat it within 3 seconds… … !! Ah Okay! Body bastard!!!’

Blood vessels sprouted from the forehead.

He casually took a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the tea that had landed on his face.

I was interrupted to eat for four days by those idiots.

I was thinking of chopping it up after dinner… … .

“……The damn children……”

Zeke got up from his chair and picked up the baguette that had fallen to the ground.

It felt surprisingly good in the hand.

‘Oh oh? this… … . quite?’

Hung-

Hung-

Hung-

Zeke swung the baguette in the air a few times.

He even nodded his head in satisfaction.

Moderately hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

If you don’t use mana, it will only hurt.

Blades do not stand, nor are they iron.

As for the weight, it was light, needless to say, since it was bread.

And it’s the same size as a sword.

‘Mmm. Can you make just the handle a bit smaller? this… … Has the amount of dirt spoon increased by one more?’

Zeke grinned.

‘If you have something like this… … . Swordsmanship Instructor, is it worth it? Also the female lead. I drive a chance.’

It seemed that he had found a weapon to use in the future.

“You, what are you!”

As if they noticed Zeke’s existence only then, they shouted in a panicked voice.

The captain quickly checked his whereabouts.

luxurious clothes. neatly trimmed hair.

‘Gwi, are you a noble!?’

But what they’re aiming at us is… … . Bars, baguettes?

“It’s Zeke Kleiman.”

“J-Kleiman…?”

“Yes. You guys will not be able to forget that name today.”
