I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109

Engagement Ceremony (4)

After spending the last day in Findias, Arisha spent the day in a daze, feeling depressed.

Although the injury is not completely healed, it is easier to get lost in thought when you stare at the ceiling.

“Ah…”

Recently, my emotions have been going through a certain trend.

A strange atmosphere that has continued since the beginning of the semester.

After breaking the sword with Runia, there were many times when I felt dreamy, and sometimes, strangely, my face would bloom with heat.

“You can do it. “I can do better than what I’m doing now.”

“I’ll protect you, so you just think about one thing.”

Even when I encountered John Doe, the serial killer in the city of fog.

“Arisha, you are a much stronger person than me, who was a helpless child back then. I hope you will always be a confident person.”

Even when overcoming the sword breaker against Runia.

“If you don’t believe me, trust me. I guarantee it. You don’t stray. You will do well. “Everything will be okay.”

He always supported and cheered me on.

Just because you can do it, you won’t go astray. And……

“I said… I would stay with you.”

Someone who will believe you without evidence.

Someone who will support you unconditionally.

Someone who is willing to help me for no reason.

Corin Locke is that kind of person. A relationship that is miraculous to meet once in your life.

A person like that…

“Won’t you marry me?”

He gets engaged to my older sister.

A relationship is formed between oneself and one’s brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

This is something to be happy about. Because Corinne is a good person. Runia who marries Corin will definitely be happy.

So you should be happy. I should be happy…

“Brother-in-law… I don’t have a sister right now.”

Why did he do such a thing in an illusion?

Why on earth…

That’s probably…

– Is Alisha there?

A familiar boy’s voice. Alisha desperately tried to stand up and fell from the bed to the floor.

-Wudangtangtangtang!!

“Four? Yes! This is it! Corin…!”

-What is it? Did you fall?

“Nenny!”

-……what.

Just as I was about to leave in a hurry. Alicia realized that her appearance was disheveled, as if she had just woken up.

“Wait a minute! Wash your face…! No, I’ll be out soon!”

I hastily stood in front of the mirror, brushed my messy hair, and powdered the freckles around my eyes.

Still, I was worried that there might be a smell, so I spread out a thin layer of perfume and applied it to my hair.

The faint scent coming from the hair is enough to cover up the smell.

-Arisha…is it far? I’ve been waiting for over 30 minutes now.

“I’ll be leaving right away! I’m sorry!

I was late because I had to set up as perfectly as possible. Arisha opens the paper door in a huff and welcomes the guests.

At the door, as always, is a boy with an attractive wild look.

“What’s taking so long?”

“Huh, huh, huh.” … sorry. “The room is very disorganized.”

“Really? huh? Do you leave your hair down in the house?”

I forgot to tie my hair because I was in a hurry to leave.

“It’s comfortable.”

“Really? But why did you spray perfume? “Is this the scent of perfume?”

“Oh, no? “You didn’t spray it?”

“What do you know? Just by looking at it, it smells like the oil in which flower petals were pickled.”

“This is the smell of my body!”

“…That’s it?”

The boy grins. It’s a mischievous smile reminiscent of Immortan Locke.

“Ah, anyway…! What’s going on?”

“Uh, I’m going out to the city right now, so if you want to pick up anything, just let me know.” ”

Uh… let’s just go together, right?”

“No, I have a date with Runia from now on.”

“Ah… …..”

Date. When I heard those words, my mind suddenly went blank.

That’s right, Corin is my sister’s fiancé…. I realized it again.

* * * *

“Is this why you were waiting for me first?”

Regular date You could call it a schedule. Dates that started with the intention of deceiving others by filling in the appropriate number of dates usually start like this: “I’d like to ride a horse

into the city today, how about that?”

“It’ll be more fun than riding a carriage. But what about that?”

Runia’s eyes turn to my right hand. In her right hand, she is holding a bright red ranunculus that resembles a rose.

“It’s a flower grown in the family garden. Why?”

“I cut it because it was pretty. Would you like to receive it?”

“Hmph, after all, it belongs to our family?”

“There’s no woman who doesn’t like flowers.”

“30 points. Isn’t it a cliché?”

“Really?”

I gently placed a flower in Runia’s hair. It was an action that was somewhat conscious of the surrounding eyes.

“Do you know what the language of this flower is?”

“Hehe, let’s wait for the man’s answer for now. .”

“You are attractive.”

“I’ll give you a generous 60 points. That’s a passing grade.”

“Just give me 40 more points.”

“I’ll judge that based on how you show today.”

We got on our horses and drove slowly toward the city.

“Anyway, where did you learn this?”

“From a book.”

“You’re a good teacher.”

I felt this while dating Runia a few times. This person is a person who prefers quiet places rather than noisy places and elegant places rather than flashy places. A traditional beauty with a dignified style. She’s so stylish that I feel embarrassed looking at her

. She is a beautiful woman.

We ate at a traditional eastern restaurant and had a leisurely time drinking tea in the open pavilion.

“…….”

“…….”

An elegant figure holding a teacup. If you look at it, it has an atmosphere like that of a noble family.

“What are you looking at like that?” Doesn’t the car fit?”

“No, I thought it was stylish.”

“I guess the date was quite boring. It’s not often that I get to sit down with a man like this.”

“That’s such an honor.”

I felt it in the previous episode as well, but this person basically has no connection with men. In fact, rather than saying that she has no connection, I would say that she is not interested. As in the

previous episode , Otherwise, if it weren’t for the family conflict that arose while Alisha survived and the resulting pressure of an arranged marriage, there would never have been a date like this.

“I also like spending time leisurely like this. Actually, it would have been nice in any form.”

“An attitude of accepting anything with pleasure. Good.”

“Rather than that, the opponent is the opponent. Any man who goes on a date with Runia would do that.”

“Hehe.”

Runia let out a quiet laugh as if she liked what I said.

She stared at me for a moment and then quietly buried her head on my shoulder.

“Mr. Runia . ?”

“Because there is someone watching. “Let’s present a sweet production

in our own way.” Is someone in the family watching? If so, there’s a need to postpone this fake engagement even more. -Suddenly, I put my hand on

Runia

‘s shoulder and pull her towards me. We can barely touch each other’s breath. It was so close.

“Yeah, you’re good at it.” If this engagement goes through, I will faithfully repay your ‘conditions’.” ”

That’s not what I’m saying at a time like this.” ”

I guess I was inconsiderate.”

“Well, it’s good to continue the conversation, but.”

Runia came out . In the same way, she puts her arm around my shoulder and pulls me towards her. Maybe this will suit her better.

“Your conditions. It’s probably related to ‘those guys’, right?”

“Yes.”

“Hah, what on earth is my fiancée targeting as an enemy?”

“I have no self-interest. It’s something we have to do for everyone.”

“What kind of guys are they? Even just by looking at them, you can tell that they are guys with tremendous power and influence.”

What kind of guys are they? How should I explain them? They are such nonsense guys in the first place that it is difficult to explain them.

However, if there is a suitable word to refer to them. ……

“Evil. That’s just it.”

“……If a man of your size can say something like that, he’s no ordinary bastard.”

“Runia and Aden… I’d feel a little more at ease if I had at least the help of the swordsman under Runia’s direct command. ”

“Don’t worry. Even if you don’t say that, I’m going to help you. But I can’t believe you’re thinking of conflicting with the ‘royal family’.”

“If you think this is crazy, you can stop. I don’t want to put that much of a burden on myself.”

“It’s definitely a burden to clash with the second princess, who has deep connections to the Catholic Church. Even if it has fallen, it is a force that receives great support not only from the kingdom but also from the continent.” The

condition I laid out to Runia along with the false engagement. That is, Runia and Aden’s military action at the timing I want.

The power that she, not the head of the family, can mobilize is At most, there will be a few units under the direct command of the 1st Swordsman and monster hunters who are not even within the Swordsmanship.

This is enough.

“I guess… is it because of the 2nd Princess’s power’s hatred of demons?”

Runia knows. Mariena Hwaran It’s these demons. And the royal family of this country… especially the second princess’s power, will feel a sense of crisis.

“The reason why the Catholic religion, which has softened but is still out of date, still receives a lot of support from the public is because of the consistent suppression of demons. .”

Unless there is a special case like Marie, demons are completely ostracized.

People equated demons with demon spirits and feared them as demons, and the consistent suppression of demons by the Catholic Church and the opposing stance of the Protestant Church divided believers. “Guardian

Association From what I heard, the magic tower will move soon. They are a strong supporter of the Catholic Church and the Second Princess. If you really want to protect them, you have to keep an eye on them.”

Aldamada.

The main story of Act 4. The murder of Magic Tower Jun-dong and Chairman Eriu Kassar.

This incident, caused by the Magic Tower’s sect warlocks and red wizards, causes the official death of Chairman Eriu. .

A series of terrorist attacks by demons that follow. Due to the actions of werewolves from the ‘Majin Village’ who were instigated, public opinion toward demons is at its worst. The first thing I have to prevent is the death of Chairman Eriu. To be precise, the destruction of Master Erin’s alter body

. It is to prevent it.

Originally, it was an event that could never be prevented due to the development of the scenario.

It was a love scenario that could not be achieved with standard party mates alone… but if you had Runia Aden and an elite military group called Geomgak, you could change the scenario. The Magic Tower Jun-dong

incident This will be the first place where I will mobilize all the connections and power I have built up over the past year.

I will become Runia’s fake fiancé, and Runia will provide me with military power under the pretext of a betrothal.

No matter how I think about it, I benefit.

“Corin. A familiar face approached. Let’s get a little closer.”

“Yes?”

Runia grabs my arm and brings her face to hers. Depending on the angle, you might think she’s kissing you. I respond spontaneously. “Hmm, you have good sense.” “Well, this

much

. “I have a sense of humor.”

“I have a sense of humor?” Well…”

“Oh, did I miss something?”

“No. It looks like my younger brother has had a hard time.”

Runia glanced somewhere. I gently grabbed Runia’s arm, which was still holding my arm.

“Mr. Runia’s hand.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Was it a little rough?”

“I can’t help it because I have calluses.”

“I know it’s not a good look for a woman.”

“Why? “It’s just cool.”

Runia’s palms are covered in calluses here and there. This doesn’t happen in a day or two.

A series of old calluses that develop after continuously overworking oneself for a long time.

3 years for the previous episode. A year now. Even if you put all of that together, it would only surpass Runia’s efforts and training.

“Open your palms.”

“Hmm?”

Runia calmly spreads her palms while expressing doubt. I played with her palms, stroking the rough calluses.

“As expected… it’s cool.”

“is it?”

“By looking at the hands, you can tell how hard the person worked and how sincere he or she was.”

Even students who study while holding a pen are like this. Moreover, it must not have taken an ordinary effort for her, a martial arts person, to develop calluses like these.

“Each of these calluses is Mr. Runia’s history, proof of his efforts, and attitude to life. Is there any need to be ashamed of this?”

“I see…”

“If there is someone who says something, that idiot is narrow-minded. This is a beautiful charm that only you have.”

“Hehe, you really mean Cheongsanyusu.”

Runia seems to like my praise. I learned a lot from her in the previous episode as well.

How can we not respect this swordsman who constantly trains himself even though he has not even reached the level of a martial artist?

“Well, it was so sweet that I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just take it like this.”

“Eh, it’s not that bad.”

“Hehe.”

“You should go first today. I have a place to stop by.”

“It’s the duty of a gentleman to even see him off.”

“I will gladly accept that consideration.”

After saying that, Runia wakes up first. It really looks like they’re going to stop by somewhere.

This is how we ended our last date before the engagement ceremony.

And the engagement ceremony was held prematurely.

In any case, it was just an attempt to buy time by saying that Runia had an official fiancé.

Perhaps that is why the engagement ceremony was held with a small number of people from the family.

“Are you ready, my fiancee?”

“Uh…”

The fiancee entered the ceremony. Her appearance gave me such a small shock that I was speechless.

Since she usually only wears suits or uniforms, it is rare to see her dressed up properly.

Even though she doesn’t even wear makeup, you can tell she’s beautiful, but even though I’ve known her for 4 years, including the previous episode, I can count the ways she puts on makeup.

From hairpins and colorful decorations to traditional clothing embroidered with red silk and gold thread.

Her slightly red lips are softly spread with rouge.

“you are pretty.”

“Hehe, he’s a man who knows how to please a woman.”

“I’m serious. Without a single lie… It’s beautiful.”

She blushes, probably embarrassed by my generous praise. And then he says it as if he regrets it.

“It’s a shame. I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to really take it like this.”

“yes?”

Before I could understand the meaning of her words, I was on the other side of the ceremony hall. Arisha appeared.

“Why is he there?”

Runia Aden’s younger sister, who is supposed to act as a bridesmaid and wear a flower crown… Why did Arisha Aden come without a suit?

Alisha raised her head as if she had made up her mind…

“This engagement! I’m against it…!”

Why you?
