Grow With In-App Purchases

74. The escape of love (?) with the princess of the duke (1)

The time I stayed at the inn was only 2 hours.

Even though it was a short break, I recovered a lot of stamina.

Now, I had to return to the academy as quickly as possible and out of the public eye.

Then Ariando’s second scenario would be successfully completed.

‘Is there only a final notice left?’

But as if the scenario in the game was laughing at me.

It was clear that he was threatening to never eat me.

“Let’s go.”

“Ep!?”

He lifted Ariando by the scruff of his neck, who was still stuffing food into his mouth, and slipped out through the back door.

If it was Ariando’s outstanding appearance, the shop owner would immediately think of it.

They’ll soon see the empty seats we’ve been sitting in, and they’ll try to hold on.

“Those who appear to be your family’s knights have entered the inn.”

“Mmmummummum?!”

The blindfolded guy eagerly chews and swallows the food in his mouth.

And urgently, he grabbed my collar.

“Were you really a knight of our family?”

“okay.”

If you get caught, you fail.

If you fail, Ariando cannot grow perfectly.

I don’t know about other characters, but Ariando had to succeed in all scenarios without fail.

‘I’m still this strong, how strong will I be when I complete the scenario?’

It was necessary to be vigilant after witnessing with both eyes the monster that chewed up the Perongpa in one bite.

To be honest, I thought that the kids were so amazing that I wouldn’t have to go out too far if I just got their unique equipment in my hands.

However, the ‘shadow’ I saw that day made me change my complacent thoughts 180 degrees.

‘Work harder than now, and faster.’

SSR characters need to be picked out and grown.

Because it’s not a game.

Conceit that if I step out in reality, I will be able to progress in a much better situation than the progress in the game.

As long as they were terrified in front of overwhelming force, they could not continue to live peacefully.

Of course, it was necessary to solve Ariando’s scenario right in front of him.

“let’s go.”

I’m glad I prepared in advance.

We had two legs that were faster than horses, and we ordered food in advance and received it as soon as we washed up and came down.

There’s nothing wrong with leaving so quickly.

However, it seemed necessary to twist the path a little.

“If it moves as scheduled, it will catch up quickly. It will go the other way. It will take a little longer, but that will be much safer.”

“Neng! But how did they follow us all the way here? We moved very quickly and there shouldn’t have been any traces of them.”

“Anything is possible if you use the power of the Awoken. At least you have to get caught near the academy to get caught. If you get caught here, you’ll soon find out why we came here.”

“Uh… will I get scolded a lot?”

From Ariane’s point of view, you might think it wouldn’t be a big deal just because she was caught.

Aren’t her parents pampered anyway?

“Do you mind if your sister finds out why you’re here?”

“!!!”

“Isn’t it a problem to be scolded by your parents in the first place?”

Ariando’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

“Never, never, don’t let your sister find out!!”

Ariando’s body, which felt somewhat relaxed because of the 2-hour break at the inn, starts to move more quickly.

“Come on, mercenary boss! We have to run away quickly!”

Perhaps, if it is discovered that she came here to avenge her instead, her relationship with her second sister will be irreversible.

Ariando may have done it with a good heart to save her sister, but from the sister’s point of view, it was as if her prey had been taken away by her younger sister.

“Hey! It’s not that way. Break it!”

“Huyaaa!!”

It was Ariando who started to run at a tremendous speed according to the stats he had grown as much as his heart was urgent, and of course I couldn’t keep up with that speed.

I barely changed direction and ran again.

There will be some traces left, but they probably weren’t using it to follow me anyway.

They were supposed to be following us by using the abilities of the Awoken to orient us to where we went.

This road goes round and round, and there are many side roads, so you will probably get confused often if you go around.

Even in the scenario, if you chose the crossroads well here, you could get away with the knights of Kimun.

‘If you get on the wrong path, you’ll be caught more quickly and it can be dangerous…’

I already knew the correct answer which way to go.

Fortunately, this is because the game company did not give randomness to this road.

“left.”

“Huyaap!”

“right.”

From noble mtl dot com

“!!”

“Straight.”

“Ah!”

Ariando was having a hard time changing direction again and again at high speed.

It would be more comfortable if I ran behind me and followed me, but my speed seemed to be too frustrating.

The current speed was the best because he was running with a buff on his body using a scroll.

As I ran frantically, I heard a growling sound from my stomach before I knew it.

“hehehe mercenary boss, I’m hungry!”

“Let’s rest for a while.”

Ariando is tired, so I’m afraid?

I washed it thoroughly, but to no avail.

He and I ate the sandwiches we had purchased at the inn one by one.

Mumbling mumbling-

“Yes, but are you going to our academy?”

“uh.”

“Is it okay if I go to the academy?”

“I should be disciplined by the academy. I was absent from class without permission, and there’s no way I could just skip it.”

“What should I say if I ask why you were absent?”

“Isn’t that what you should have thought of?”

“hehehehe, it’s because I’m so out of my mind.”

Didn’t think about anything after all.

“You say you did it because you didn’t want to go to the academy?”

“That’s a very dishonorable excuse. If you use that as an excuse, you’ll get pointed at it!”

Hmmm, my back hurts.

“You think you know.”

“Since I know that the people in my family have come this far, I have to decorate it to make sense…”

“What, you say you fell in love with Gongja from the other house and chased him?”

If you say that Confucius missed you so much that you secretly came near the front line, it would seem like an understatement.

“Ohh? Is that so?”

“Are you really doing this?”

“Let’s make it sound like it.”

“I’m going to ask who the hell you are, but I’m going to say who.”

Who dared to make a duke’s daughter fall in love with her unrequitedly?

I don’t know who that guy will be, but the future won’t be bright.

“You can’t talk.”

“That’s right. If you say you won’t talk about it even if you die for fear of harming your family, that’s probably the case. Why did you come back to the academy?”

“I confessed and got dumped, what!”

Up until that point, we had been carefree, saying we had come up with an excuse that made sense.

My focus was on getting him back to the academy without being noticed by the family knights, but after that, it wasn’t something to consider.

I shouldn’t have done that.

Even if we regret it belatedly, the incident had already been committed, and we evaded the knights and arrived safely at the academy.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Thank you, mercenary boss!

“Suffer.”

I’m at the end of my hardships, but this is the beginning of my hardships.

Ariando used his ID to get into the city faster than anyone else.

Ariando goes to the academy, and I go to the general store.

After parting neatly, I stole tears when I arrived at the grocery store again after passing through death.

“If you leave the house, you are a high school student.”

It hasn’t been long since I started running a general store, but my love for this space came flooding back.

I opened the shop door and went inside.

It was a space that hadn’t been occupied for several days, so dust seemed to accumulate quickly.

“I need to clean up the store first.”

After washing my sweaty body and taking a nap.

I will open the door wide and clean the house.

“This is healing.”

Hard, worm-crawling campground beds are the worst of the worst.

The thought of taking a nap in a bed that was used by nobles made my body feel sweet.

Growl-! Growl-!

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I immediately fell into a deep sleep.

You can be sure you fell asleep within 3 seconds.

I thought I could sleep for another 24 hours…

thump.. thump thump…. thump.

A faint but clear sound was heard.

It was clear that someone was knocking on the general store door.

“No… what is it?”

Even if you are a customer, you are not qualified to knock on the door of a closed general store.

I’m being screened for guests!

…Miss!…Like…Mr!

I’m closing the door thinking that if I don’t respond, he’ll leave, but he doesn’t even go like sh*t.

Now he was calling people by shouting.

“ha…”

Eventually, I got up and came down to the first floor.

No matter who is knocking on the door as if to split it, he will give you a bowl of swearing.

Knock-!

“Sifal, why are you waking me up when people are sleeping? Can’t you see the grocery store is closed?!”

“Soohan~!!!”

“mister!!!”

ah.

First of all, I didn’t even check who it was, but after screaming, I checked who it was.

I thought it would be one person, but there were two people in front of the general store door.

“…what are you guys doing here?”

Rebecca and Shine.

If these two were knocking on the door of the general store, it was understandable that they were trying to break it down.

“Where the hell did you go without saying anything? I was worried because the general store suddenly closed and there was no news.”

“That’s right! Where did you go? I think you came down from sleep. I think you should put on some clothes.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I was only wearing shorts, but it came down as it was.

“Whoa, why did you say that? It was nice to see you.”

Rebecca smiles broadly and scans my body with her blatant eyes.

“Does it look that good? Do you want me to serve you?”

“Wait, why are you so blue? Where did you get hit!”

To be honest, there were far more bruises on my body from bumping into trees due to flying that I wasn’t used to than the ones from the monsters.

It was embarrassing to say that he had been beaten by a tree, so he evaded his words.

“If I’m like this, how much will he be? Don’t talk nonsense, just come in. hehehehe~”

The trees that made my body blue must be growing in the polluted area.

But unless I told them myself, there was no way they would know that.

I yawned and went upstairs to the second floor and put on my clothes, and then the kids ran to me again and started asking me where I was from.

“What’s important is where I went? Do I have to get permission from you guys and go out?”

“No offense. Is that something you would say to the person who worried about you?”

“That’s right! I’m sorry for the people who were worried about it.”

Rebecca pokes her finger into my side to pay for all my worries.

“Oh, muscles.”

“My dear, why are you like this?”

“I didn’t see it wrong earlier. You’re much firmer than before? Have you ever been through training?”

It was Rebecca who was amazed at the changes in her body after awakening to how closely she had seen my muscles in that short amount of time.
