chapter 98
98. Two Leashes in Each Hand (Complete)
“As expected, it’s Lewis! “Amazing!”
“Haha… I just got lucky.”
The original protagonist… Ira.
That’s right, right?
Laperine, a water attribute magic specialist, and Shuri, a dog, or rather a dog wizard. And a handsome-looking male student called Louis.
The reason why that guy named Lewis is assumed to be the original protagonist is simply because the original heroine stuck around. In fact, that alone made me about 80% sure, if not 100% sure.
I don’t remember if the duel with Laperine was an event in the original work… But anyway, the fact that there was a connection with the two heroines seemed like pretty solid evidence to me.
“John? “What’s wrong?”
Shall we make contact? If you’re really the main character, it’s not a bad idea to build friendships.
In the first place, the trials I was trying to overcome in order to see the ending were ones that the main character of the original story had to overcome. It would be ideal to take some time to hit what needs to be hit and then take the time to take care of what needs to be taken out… But there was one thing that needed to be checked before that.
Is that guy a possessor?
“John!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I have something to think about for a moment.”
My head is complicated. The situation changes a lot depending on whether that guy is possessed or not.
If that guy is a 100% pure local, it’s hard to trust that he’ll be able to see the happy ending of the world in this damn game, and if he’s a 100% pure possessor, it’ll be annoying because he’ ll just go on a rampage to utilize the game knowledge.
In order to confirm whether or not he is possessed, I have to talk to that guy who looks like a gisaeng brother. I forced myself to come up with a justification and spoke to Lu, who was being hugged by a furry, or rather, a beast heroine, who was wagging her tail like crazy.
“Hey. It would be illegal to duel here.”
Right? Honestly, I don’t know the rules. However, wouldn’t it be illegal to use magic to fight in a market like this? Otherwise.
Anyway, my fatal comment seemed to have worked as Louis and Shuri looked at me with puzzled eyes. Yes, if an article suddenly pops up at a time like this, it would look like that. Still, Lewis quickly asked me with a calm face whether I was the main character for no reason.
“Who are you?”
Who am I?
“Johan Quartz. “I am an engineer working at the academy.”
I took out the pendant symbolizing my knighthood and showed it to him.
Oh, and the driver who works at the academy is also correct. To be exact, at the Yeomyeong Hall inside the academy. Of course, you don’t have the authority to catch and harass students, but briefly contacting them under the pretext of your status shouldn’t be a problem.
I put on a dignified expression and started pretending to scold the two people.
“Don’t you know how dangerous it is to fight a duel in a place where people are passing by?”
“Ah… That’s true, but if you don’t, Shuri…”
“Oh, that’s right! Lewis was trying to protect me…”
No, why are both of them meditating? You didn’t do that because you saw my face, right?
I ignored the words of the two people who started making excuses and glanced at Laperine.
He lowered his head, not yet recovering from the shock of his defeat. It seems quite shocking that you lost the duel at the bottom of the market. By the way, the main character (presumed) did well in winning.
It’s really hard to win in the early stages of La Perrine. That too with a test tree. Laperine is the swordsman’s natural enemy.
I looked down and glanced at the standard iron sword used by academy knight undergraduates hanging on Lewis’ waist.
As expected from Kalon Academy, the quality is good, but whether it is a good weapon is ambiguous. Since he doesn’t seem to be carrying a powerful early game weapon from a specific dungeon, I guess he won with pure ability.
“Let’s skip that part. “What I want to know is why I fought with Lady Laperine…”
“Uh, that’s… “
Lewis’ explanation was this: Shuri accidentally bumped into Laferrine and soiled her clothes, and when that noble noble lady, Laferrine, could not control her temper and hurled all kinds of abuse at Shuri, Louis got angry and got angry, and that arrogant and noble lady got angry. Laperrine challenged him to a duel…
And he managed to defeat that Laperine and was in the middle of a happy hug with Shuri.
Considering that Laperine in the original was a bad-tempered heroine before rehabilitation and someone whose likes and dislikes were sharply divided, no, I’m just saying this in a nice way, but to put it bluntly, she was a terrible heroine, it’s not much different from the fragmentary knowledge I remember.
I don’t think there’s ever been an event like this.
In the first place, the difference in specs was so big that it was almost impossible to crack in the early stages of the game.
“I knew the situation. But dueling in the market is not a good option. “I’ll let it go this time, but don’t do it next time.”
“Yes! I won’t do that again!”
There was too much force on her shoulders. I said, tapping Lewis’ shoulder a couple of times after he gave an exemplary answer.
“Go now.”
I want to talk more, but I don’t really have a reason to hold on to it.
I’m not a security guard in charge of public safety, I’m just Karina’s escort driver. I can’t just make up a far-fetched excuse and hold on to it and end up blushing with the guards.
Still, the mere existence of the original protagonist was a great achievement, so it is right to be satisfied with this for now. If you force yourself to find out, your relationship may only improve for no reason.
At least for now.
…Anyway, whether it’s the next final exam or the second semester, there will definitely be an opportunity to come into contact with that guy.
If that guy was possessed, he would definitely try to contact Karina.
If not…Well. You can go and think about it then.
I’m busy enough right now just preparing the plans I made in advance.
Laperine disappeared while I was talking to Louise, so I can’t talk about her. She doesn’t want to be that close to me either.
I stared blankly at my new worries moving away in the distance.
Until Milia pinched the back of my hand as hard as she could.
———————-
“John! “I want to try that too!”
Milia seemed to have discovered her new stall and took my hand hers. I pretended not to be able to resist and was dragged by Milia, scanning the snacks sold at her stall with her eyes.
Um, waffles? If it’s made well, it’s delicious.
“Please give me the apple cinnamon flavor!”
“Uh, uh, that’s… Me too… “
Elisha. You have a bigger appetite than I thought. I bought Elisa’s share of waffles from the stall owner. After some time, warm waffles were held in the hands of the two people.
“Let’s sit on the fountain chair over there and eat.”
“Yes!”
We immediately sat down on the fountain chairs and started eating waffles. Milia scooped up a mouthful of waffles like a squirrel, which she deftly chewed and swallowed. Our Dullahan eats well and is happy to eat.
…He should have been born in the 21st century, not here. Since I eat so well, I need to order something like a mukbang streamer.
She is charming, lovable, and even pretty, so being popular is not a problem.
…This is a game world, so that won’t happen.
“John! Ah~”
Along with Milia’s voice, my eyes were filled with golden-brown waffles. Are you asking me to take a bite? I took a bite of Milia’s waffle.
Sweet. It’s so crazy sweet. I feel like I’m going crazy from the sweet taste, as if I’ve been ingesting a week’s worth of sugar. As I savored the sweet and sweet taste of waffles, I naturally thought of Korea.
When I was young, I think I often bought and ate 1,000 won waffles.
Did the waffles you ate in Korea taste this sweet? Honestly, I don’t remember much. Except for the knowledge in the game, which I remember strangely well, most of the time I only had fragments of memory.
“It’s delicious.”
“Right?”
Do you like waffles? I turned my gaze away from Millia and returned to thinker mode and tried to lose myself in thought.
If it weren’t for the weak force pulling my sleeve.
“Elisa. “Do you have something to say?”
Instead of answering, what was handed to me was a waffle with about a third of it missing. Are you telling me to eat it?
When I looked at Elisa, I saw that she was shy but also secretly hopeful. If you don’t listen, you’ll go into gloomy mode again, so you should listen. I immediately bit into the corner of the waffle.
“It’s delicious.”
When I ate the waffle, Miss Assazinta, who represents Kalon Academy, smiled with a dark smile and let out a strange laugh.
Hehe…”
It’s a sound you’d only hear in a haunted house at an amusement park.
Still, if you like it.
After snacking like that, we left the fountain and went back into the market.
There’s still a lot to see, and there’s a long way to go before we can drain all of Milia’s stamina, which has more stamina than a beagle.
———————
Our market exploration ended only as the sun set. With people leaving and street stalls being cleaned up one by one, we headed to Yeomyeonggwan.
“I can’t eat anymore… “
Are you dreaming of eating while you sleep?
I lifted Milia, who was sleeping on my back, and carried her on my back her her, feeling the wetness of her back her her from her saliva her her her her. It’s not really like taking care of a child.
“Yo, yo, John…”
“What’s going on?”
“Well, that’s… “
Elisa glanced at me hesitantly with her shy face and then repeatedly looked away.
I think I have something to say. I waited quietly until Elisa made up her mind and spoke to me. Anyway, Milia fell into her dream world while riding on my back her, so she didn’t have to worry about Elisa’s words her her her being interrupted.
The first time I heard Elisa’s words was when I was able to see Yeomyeonggwan beyond the main gate of the academy.
“Well, hey… Thank you…”
“Thank you?”
“Yes…”
“What?”
“Si, you took me to the market…Jae, it was fun.”
A shy voice. At this time, it was not a gloomy voice, but a beautiful voice that men would turn to at least once, tickling my ears.
“I’ll take you there again next time.”
“…Next time, please take care of me…”
These were the last words we exchanged just before entering Yeomyeonggwan.
