I Killed the Academy Player

Suspicious enough… (3)

Before Count Cassius’s party was held, Marie and I headed to the downtown shopping district. By the way, the name of the shopping street is…

“Marie Street?”

“Ugh…! Note, it’s not important!”

The name of the shopping district is Marie Street. What the hell is this?

“Could you please explain the meaning?”

“Uh… just, when I was born, my dad built this shopping street as a memorial.”

“·······.”

The Duke seems to care about Marie quite a bit.

“But the stores here all look expensive.”

The shops on Marie Street seemed close to Fashion Street, where clothes and jewelry were gathered. It is also a place where only luxury shops gather.

“Montizo? Ghesquière? Oooh…”

Although it’s a fantasy world, there are brands here that rival the luxury brands of the planet. I’ve lived in this world for 3 years, so I’ve heard the name at least once.

“Senior, do you want to shop here?”

“Yeah. What’s wrong?”

“no······.”

Unlike Marie, who was born with a spoon in the Super Potato Farm, I am a salaryman who has just become a first-class knight. It’s the point where the first activity support fund hasn’t been paid yet, so there’s no way I can buy such expensive things.

“I’m sorry… but I don’t have money…”

“Ah…!”

Marie covered her mouth and made an expression that she hadn’t thought of. What came out of her mouth was a very unexpected answer.

“Why is Corinne spending money?”

“yes?”

“Of course I’m buying it!”

“No, but that’s a bit…”

There is Gao from the in-house manager. I can’t afford something this expensive…

– Tup!

Marie held my hand and smiled broadly.

“I really wanted to buy Corinne clothes! Would you like me to give Corinne a present just for today?”

“·······.”

Marie’s gaze is clear.

“Well, can I ask you to buy one or two?”

“really?!”

It’s Marie, who has a bright color. Yes, if this makes Marie feel at ease.

“Then can I give you everything I bought during the day?”

What did I just hear wrong? I think it was one day, not one.

“Let’s go from there! I really wanted to match Corinne’s first suit!”

Marie tries to hurry while pulling my hand. I tilted my head at the additional explanation that today is not enough to look around.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yeah, well… how much would you buy if you bought it while looking around all day?

i had to know That the purpose of this shopping is not sightseeing.

* * * *

“Please set them separately for daytime use and nighttime use.”

“How would you like to style it?”

“Three buttons. I prefer obsidian. It’s cut in the classic Southern style.”

Isabel Eastwood dressmaker.

I was losing my mind while trying on a suit that said it was basic to spend dozens of gold coins to match one suit.

“I’ll ask for the one that saved the neckline! Corinne has a neckline and pretty collarbones!”

“Oh, you’re Miss Marie, too. You have a very good eye.”

“Right! Corinne is muscular and has broad shoulders, so loft-up shoulders.”

“We will adjust the fit of your pants to the point where you don’t mind squatting.”

“Wouldn’t the design be a little boring? It would be nice to make it less boring with a bird’s eye or herringbone pattern.”

“Let’s emphasize the subtle pattern so that it looks solid when viewed from a distance, and a herringbone pattern when viewed up close. If you combine this with a handkerchief and tie…”

What is that all about?

Is this Marie, who boiled potatoes for friends in boiling steam every morning? The chest becomes grand.

“As expected of Isabel Eastwood! That’s trustworthy.”

“It’s an honor, Miss Marie. I’ll send you home on time for the party.”

As I left the store after receiving the warm hospitality of the shop assistants, I took the box of handkerchiefs they had given me as a souvenir and treated it like a pot of divine juice.

It’s a souvenir, but it’s because I was frightened when I heard that it was three gold coins per sheet.

“Aren’t you spending too much money?”

“Huh? Did you write a lot?”

“Come to think of it, I didn’t even calculate…”

From noble mtl dot com

“Send it home and I’ll bill it for you!”

“No, can I?”

“Corin.”

“senior?”

“My name is credit.”

“Huh…!”

Alas, it is dazzling. I also want to be a person who can bring out these words someday.

“Ha~ Aren’t you teasing me too much?”

“Oh, did you notice?”

“If you keep looking at my reaction and twitching, you will know.”

“Heehee, it was Corinne who was always making fun of me~ If it weren’t for this opportunity, I’d try to tease Corinne sometime.”

“If it’s teasing like this… well, I’ll gladly accept it.”

I used platinum coins to tailor a set of suits. Actually, I had a feeling from the time I spent dozens of gold coins on my necklace and shoes, but…

By the way, before buying a suit, I wore a lot of luxury brand everyday wear. At least, these were only 3-4 gold coins per suit, so it was less inconvenient to buy several sets.

······okay. I am afraid of the distortion of my money sense that I bought a bunch of shirts worth millions of won and expressed as ‘only 3 or 4’.

“Anyway, is this the end?”

“What are you talking about, Corinne?”

“······Are there still more?”

“I have to buy a watch too! If a man wants to do big things, he has to wear a nice watch first!”

“It’s broken while fighting…”

“It’s okay! Just buy a spare!”

Marie went to a watch store and ordered like this.

“From here to there, please by category!”

Hey~ I thought I made a lot of money while rolling in the car for 3 years last time, but I realized it when I saw a blank check being handed over.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You’re a war hero, you’re an idiot, and even if you earn a lot of money, it’s not even a ticket to chaebol.

······

············

······

The last place we headed to was a workshop.

“Senior, where are you?”

“Yes! I prepared it for Corinne!”

“Oh, aren’t you Miss Marie? You’re finally here.”

“Hello, Mr. Sarriere.”

A craftsman with brown skin unique to the southern sea and archipelago. She greeted Marie as if she had waited.

“Did you come to find the requested item?”

“yes!”

At Marie’s words, Sarriere headed somewhere, brought a large box, and opened the box.

A lump of iron that looks like ordinary iron on the outside. but i know How this ore transforms the moment it enters the realm.

“······Indestructible stone?”

“Yeah! It’s the mineral that made Arisha junior’s yam sword!”

“How can this…”

It’s something that the academy didn’t even ask for because it didn’t exist.

I was given Umgang Stone as a replacement, but it was not a perfect substitute for the Indestructible Stone, so if I kept entering the realm, it would crumble someday.

But the indestructible stone is different. This indestructible stone is unbreakable. Rather, it is a special magic stone that exerts more power when entering the area.

“How did you get it? There must be no property for sale.”

“Huh? It was just there?”

“Ah yes.”

“If you coat Corin’s window with this! Is it possible to use it without difficulty in the area that Corin said?”

“It is, but…”

The value of this one magic stone was greater than the gifts he had received all day.

Indestructible stones are not special magic stones for nothing. A magic stone used in the Hidden Peace of Sword Emperor Garland Aden. I can’t find it because I don’t have it…

“Corin, this is my last present!”

Marie smiled broadly and held out an indestructible stone to me.

* * * *

That night, I was invited to dinner with the Dunarev family.

“This way, Corrine-sama.”

“Kuh, kuh hmm…”

I arrived at the restaurant following the guidance of the butler assigned to me. The history of Dunareff Mansion, which he has explained since coming, or the artworks decorated in the hallway, make you feel confused.

The butlers are a bit too kind to me, but the ladies-in-waiting feel a strange hostility towards me.

As for the butlers, Mr. Paul, the butler, may have liked me, but the ladies-in-waiting don’t understand.

When we arrived at the restaurant, three people, including Marie, were seated. Needless to say, the two are Marie’s parents.

“Oh, how are you?”

“Oh, what a handsome young man.”

A middle-aged woman who looks exactly like Marie. A beautiful woman who looked like she would become like that when Marie matured looked at me and smiled warmly.

“Heung! How handsome.”

On the other hand, a middle-aged man with aqua-colored hair snorted and sat in the seat of honor. Does Marie’s hair color resemble that old man?

I’ve heard that he’s a very talented wizard, but he has a restrained posture unique to wizards and neatly dressed in robes.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Duke Dunareff.”

Even so, in the previous episode, I had to meet quite a few nobles and members of the royal family. Duke Dunareff gave me a surprised look at my reasonable manners.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

“Corin! It’s here, it’s here!”

Marie patted the floor of the chair and guided me. Naturally, I ended up sitting next to Marie and next to the Duke.

Then, veins can be seen sprouting from the peacock’s forehead.

“Keuhum, keuhum…!”

“you?”

“Kheuheum…! Mary, why don’t you sit next to your dad as you always do?”

“No, it’s okay! I want to introduce Corinne to my dad today!”

“Cow, introduction…!”

“Oh my~”

Reactions to Marie’s misleading remarks were sharply divided. The duke stared at me with hatchet eyes and then looked at me as if I were looking at a thief who stole the seat next to my daughter.

‘Is it my fault?’

anyway, your fault. the eyes are like that

There is no unfair feeling, but let’s understand the vigilance of a father with a daughter. Well, if I had a daughter like Marie, I would carry it on my back and raise it.

“My name is Corinne Locke.”

“It’s Mard Dunareff.”

“I’m Elencia Dunareff. Corinne… no, a student.”

What did you just omit?

“Yes, a junior in Marie’s grade.”

“Yes, it is.”

“I heard that he is a knight with great skills. To the extent that he was awarded the rank of first-class knight in just one semester.”

“It’s still not enough.”

It’s what I felt while talking to many people, but it’s better not to show that I’m proud. I usually think it’s cheeky.

When I shuddered with humility, Marie, who was sitting next to me, made a fuss.

“Corin is so amazing! He even competed against swordsman Lunia-san!”

“With Lunia Aden?”

“Yeah! During the midterm, it was amazing!”

“hmm······.”

Duke Marde seemed surprised to hear that I had a match against the swordsman, Lunaia Aden.

Certainly, the value of the name of Runia Aden exerts an influence here and there.

“By the way, I was promoted to a 1st class mage 20 years ago.”

“… is that so?”

“I’m 20 years older than you.”

“Yes… congratulations,”

“Ahem.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You’re amazing because you’re faster than before I was born, draw.

“So, what do your parents do?”

Oh, you’re doing a census? First of all, I answered by following the memory of Corinne Locke.

“My parents run a restaurant.”

“Hmm~ Do you have a brother?”

“I have one younger sister.”

“Yes, it’s a normal family.”

“It’s normal.”

It is an ordinary family that can be found anywhere on Earth or here.

“Listen, Corinne Locke. What I am about to tell you is a very important question.”

Duke Marde stared at me with a serious gaze.

Loser of the South. The emperor of the empire who leads the mega agricultural conglomerate, Dunarev. I saw the piece of that enormous wealth today.

What questions will this man who can move the South with a single word ask me!

In terms of games, this is the point at which an important scenario quest begins!

“Are you pure?”

“············yes?”

“Ii too! Why do you ask such a thing?”

The duke quickly shrank and made an expression of regret at the Duchess of Elencia slapping her on the shoulder.

“If you’re Daryl’s son-in-law in the Dunarev family, you should be chaste…!”

“dad?!”

Ooh… are you misunderstanding that?

“Anyway, Corinne Locke! My Marie resembles me, so she has a good personality and a good brain.”

“I see.”

Doesn’t that sound like a personality?

“I’m not proud of it, but Marié has been using magic since she was seven years old. A genius among geniuses.”

I’m proud of that.

“She was a cute daughter who wouldn’t hurt even if you put it in her eyes, and she’s gold and jade, and she’s my precious daughter who I raised…”

“Ah… yes. What…”

Duke Marde glared at me with bloodshot eyes. It is the eyes that feel the crisis of middle age.

“So my daughter can’t!”

“dad?!”

“you?!”

Sure enough, the Duke of Marde beat the sudden rush. It didn’t end there.

“Marie said she was marrying Daddy! Absolutely not…!”

“Dad!?”

Marie looked at the Duke of Marde with a look of astonishment.

“To a stranger! What are you talking about!”

Marie, whose face was red, slapped the Duke on the shoulder and pushed him. Although the difference in physique is likely to be doubled between the two, Marie is overwhelming with power.

“Ah…! Ugh! Ah…! Now, wait! Maria, it hurts! Why, why is it so strong…! This kind of thing resembles my mother again…!”

“Dad, don’t say more!”

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now that I’m halfway dragged away, it’s almost pitiful. Come to think of it, no one in this family can beat Marie by force.

The restaurant where Marie dragged the Duke of Marde out. The only ones left in the seat were the Duchess of Elencia and me.

“You’ve been rude, Corin-kun.”

“Haha, what a pleasant family.”

“It’s so fun that I’m wearing it.”

The duchess with a warm smile stared at me with an elegant look and then suddenly stood up.

“The Duchess?”

She greeted me with a deep bow of her head.

“Thank you very much for helping our Marie.”

“······Please don’t bow down too much. It’s burdensome.”

“is that so?”

“I just did it because I could touch it.”

“·······.”

“And above all… Marie-senpai is a person who can be happier.”

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Good people may have a better ending. No, this is normal.

“Whoops…”

At my words, the Duchess covered her mouth with Marie’s characteristic fresh smile.

“When I received Marie’s letter, I wondered if the bean pods were too washed out… Ah, I welcome Corin-kun. Unlike him, I’m a liberal.”

“… that’s right.”

What the hell? What about the fact that Marie sent a letter?

– Ah! No, Mary! This daddy can’t stand it!

– I really can’t live!

-Cow, only holding hands is allowed! No more!

– Mama, don’t talk nonsense! Dad, I hate you! you idiot!

-Heh heh heh…! Maryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

oh wow, that’s a sickness

Do all fathers with daughters go away?

Later, the Duke of Marde came to me and apologized and thanked me at the same time, but he did not give up until the end.

“I’m only allowed to hold hands…! That chastity! It’s better to keep it until death…!!”

– Damn!

The words of a runaway married man end with a back smash.
