I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 170
Summer brings turmoil (2)
The royal capital is the most developed city in the El Ras Kingdom.
Thanks to the location of the royal palace, not only are all administrative offices concentrated here, but it is also a transportation hub that extends in all directions.
Surprisingly, it is also a place that you don’t have the opportunity to visit often in games.
There are no events related to the princesses here or until the player emerges as the official hero of the kingdom.
It was the same in the previous episode, so I also visited the royal capital a few times.
“Ha~”
“Agresha?”
Alisha mutters while munching on her parfait. I roughly understand the meaning.
“No, I don’t have very good memories of the royal capital.”
-gulp!
“Isn’t Corin’s hometown Wangdo?”
“That’s true. I wonder if nobles also had annoying and painful youth.”
“Ah, nobles. I think I know a little bit. The way they look at me is a bit…”
“Have you ever been to the royal palace?”
“When I have my sister’s coming of age ceremony.”
“I guess I haven’t seen anything good.”
I could roughly imagine it. They must have belittled him by saying it was a bastard or something.
Now that most of the nobles in this world have been reduced to honorary positions and have become royal nobles, their community has become something of a yellow press.
It is said that since it is not as influential as it used to be, the murmurings behind the scenes have increased even more.
“But Mr. Corin, how do you know that? Didn’t you say you were an ordinary citizen?”
“He was the princess’s sire… No, we just happened to get involved.”
“Ugh?”
“president.”
At that time, Ren grabbed my sleeve. Unlike Ron, who had grown up to around middle school, Ren still looked up at me with a young gaze.
“Boss, I want to eat that.”
Each Ren seems to be fascinated by the gorgeous streets of the royal capital.
“I’ll give you pocket money, so come eat.”
“Boss, let’s eat together too.”
“Is that so?”
What Ren wants to buy are seasoned skewers sold on the street. Even though it may not be of good quality, street food has its own flavor.
“Koriiin~!”
Arisha and Hwaran followed Ren and me, picking up skewers one by one and eating them, when Marie came running from far away.
“I was waiting! I was trying to get something!”
“I guess the royal branch branch gave you a lot of things?”
“Yes, yes! I told you to prepare something in advance!”
Marie was holding something. These are things similar to boxes and shopping bags.
“Give it to me. I can’t even call Deokgu.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Naturally, I receive the boxes Marie brought. This thing is heavier than I thought and I’m curious about what’s inside.
“Senior Marie. What is all this?”
“Hehe, we’re going to see Corinne’s parents now. I’ve prepared some presents.”
“No, what are these things…”
Wait… I am now learning.
Marie Dunareff. 25 titles and master of southern cities. A super tycoon whose money is copied in real time!
Was the gift she prepared ordinary?
“Well… it’s not like a bunch of jewels or gold coins, is it?”
“Tsk… if you look at it, Corin seems to be very prejudiced against me.”
“no?”
“No! I’m going to eat all of this. Seasonal produce and dried fruits!”
“Ah… I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”
Maybe I misunderstood Marie-senpai. Well, rich people don’t just open wine and eat sturgeon roe.
These people probably all have normal daily lives.
“Corin, I also bought a gift for Corin’s parents.”
“What are you doing?”
Alisha also takes a quick look and shows the items. It looks like he stopped by the Adenga Dojo at the Wangdo branch and received a gift box wrapped beautifully in cheesecloth.
“Everyone went to the trouble of preparing something like this. But what’s in it?”
“Horse jerky from the East. My sister told me to take it.”
“Oh~”
I want to try that.
“…….”
While the two people show various gifts from the visit, Hwaran is restless and even breaking into a cold sweat.
“I… I need to go somewhere for a moment.”
“It’s okay, just don’t accept my feelings.”
It’s cute. This is a natural reaction since he is a guy who has virtually no social life.
“……sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Still, it’s amazing. I can’t believe that a painter who seemed to be the only child in the world could become so social and care about other people.
He was so happy that when I stroked his head, he pushed my hand away.
“Don’t touch your head…”
“Okay, okay.”
“Don’t laugh like that.”
“Okay, okay.”
Are you upset? Even Hwa, who makes a pouty expression, is cute at times like this. When dealing with the charming Ran, there are times when you want to deal with this cute Hwa.
I guess I can say that my heart is pounding because Ran likes me so much.
“By the way, Corinne. What kind of people are your parents?”
“It’s normal. They run a restaurant and their younger sister goes to the Royal Academy.”
“Wow, a restaurant? That’s amazing~”
After coming to this world, home was an awkward space for me.
I wonder if he is a stranger from Earth who only possesses the memories and shell of Corin Locke.
Well, it was a common worry. Park Si-hoo denied it until the end, but I affirmed and accepted it.
Actually, I ended this worry in the previous episode and decided to just believe that I was Corin Locke.
I am me.
If a person has a clear memory, they are all the same.
There may be room for disagreement, but I just decided to accept it.
“Hehe, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I’m a bit sorry and nervous.”
The last time I saw you was after the frost giant battle in the previous episode… so it’s been a long time. I was a bit out of my mind at the time, but…
* * * *
Corin’s parents, Rudin Locke and Suell Locke, were in a state of emergency due to an untimely visit from a guest.
“I think I may have caused you some inconvenience. Haha…”
“Oh no. Rather, it is an honor for us.”
The silver-haired beauty, so unrealistic that it made you wonder if there could be such a beautiful person in the world, announced herself as the chairman of the Merkava Academy.
If it were just that, they would have asked how such a young person could be the president of the academy.
For the Locke couple, the president of the academy had the image of an old man with a bulging belly, just like the Royal Academy their daughter attended.
However, another beautiful woman who followed her as if to assist her dismissed her suspicions.
“Jo Josephine Clara?”
The Locke couple also attended the academy in their past. This is because in the Kingdom of El Ras, the cost of education for commoners was not that burdensome unless they were poor.
And the two immediately recognized Josephine Clara, the protagonist of the Witch Revolution, whom they had seen in a history book.
At the time, compared to Tates Balthazar and Erin, who covered themselves with masks, Josephine received the most attention as a person involved in the witch hunt, so she is a familiar face to everyone on the continent.
“Well… if it’s Merkava… my eldest son goes there…”
“Korin is a really great student. He’s the top second year student at our academy.”
“Is it that bad?”
This was information that could not be obtained from the letter I received from my son. You damn bastard, how can you possibly know because you never talk about me?
“And I have a personal relationship with Corin as a priest.”
“A personal priestly relationship?”
“I am teaching him how to use the spear myself. Corin is a very good knight.”
“I see.”
“But… what is the chairman doing at my house?”
“ah…!”
Erin clapped her hands as if she had finally remembered her business.
“Originally, I was going to come say hello with Corin.”
To say hello? The two people didn’t dare to say, “Your choice of words is a bit weird.”
“I was a bit busy with work at the palace, so I came to see you first. Clara?”
At Erin’s words, Josephine gently waved her wand and opened a crack in space. And the objects that appear within it.
“It’s nothing special. It was a greeting and I didn’t want you to come empty-handed, so I brought you a gift.”
“Uh, do you mean these?”
Adore the exposed items! A couple who is open and unable to close.
“This is a mother-of-pearl cabinet and marble dining table made by my brother, who I know as Ruchtainer.”
“That is a jewelry box made by my brother Credne.” “This is the magic iron skewer that Brother Gobni gave me. It is said that meat grilled on that skewer is good for increasing a man’s vitality.”
All of the items Erin had lined up were treasures that were over a thousand years old.
There is no way for the two people to know the history, but the items that the gods gifted to the youngest goddess were polished by their very existence, so they can vaguely guess that these are very precious
items.
“How can I get these precious things…”
I just can’t accept them. These are very valuable treasures. Why would the president of the academy give something like this as a gift?
“Can I get a bar…”
That was the time. Erin gently grabbed Rudin Locke’s hand as he tried to reject it. She soon grabbed Suel Locke’s arm as well and gazed at them with a benevolent voice and face.
“It’s okay. You two have a wonderful son. What Corinne has done for me is even greater.”
Why? The beautiful woman in front of me certainly looks twenty years younger than them… How can she be kind and benevolent, like an adult with a distant smile?
“Heh, Corrin, he seems to be doing well at the Academy.”
“Of course. You don’t know how true and warm-hearted our Corinne is.”
‘huh?’
‘Our Corinne’
The odd choice of words struck me, but the couple stared blankly at Erin, who continued speaking with a benevolent smile.
“If you tell me one thing, I know two things. If the teacher sweats a little, I immediately wipe it with a handkerchief. He is also good at cooking. He even made me samgyetang (samgyetang) as a health food. Oh, but I have a cat’s tongue, so I don’t eat hot food very well. Then he blows on it and feeds it to me. ? So kind and handsome~”
“…….” ”
…….”
“How trustworthy is the back that a disciple shows his master that he will protect him! How much when he says that everything will be fine. “I wonder if I want to believe it… Corin is a very good adult. That’s right. I heard that everyone over the age of 20 is friends. Do your father and mother think that too?”
“Did you say that?”
“Of course. That’s why I usually try to be like friends. Ah~ Isn’t that a wonderful thing to say? Everyone over the age of 20 is a friend. Right, Clara?”
“You are worthy.”
“And he said I was young and pretty! He also said that it doesn’t matter how long I’ve lived. That’s right, right? If you’re young at heart, age doesn’t matter, right?”
Something… seems more and more like a mystery.
Obviously, they are the parents, but listening to the story, it feels like Erin is more like a mother bragging about her child. Besides…
‘Is this… that’s it?’
‘Right… right?
An intuition that something was going on ran through the couple.
“Thank you so much for giving me a wonderful son.”
“Ah… thank you for that.”
“Thank you…”
“Ah, it’s already time to go. I have a meeting scheduled at the palace.”
Erin and Clara leave without even hearing what they say. As the two men were being seen off by the Locke couple, they whispered so softly that they could not be heard.
“that… Was it a deliberate plan?”
“Extremely.”
“That’s how Clara sees it too?!”
“‘That’s how I see it’… What do you mean?” ”
“………….. ..””
The couple was devastated for a while as they watched the two people disappear. Then Rudin spoke carefully. “I
… I think it would be okay if she was a little older than us.” ”
But it would be nice if my daughter-in-law was older than us. Isn’t that right?”
Unlike their children, the couple seemed to have ordinary senses.
And while Erin was organizing the treasures that she feared were from a coma… a new visitor knocked on the door.
“This is Mr. and Mrs. Locke . Is this your house?”
“Oh yeah! That’s right! Who are you… Wow!”
“Honey? Who… Wow!”
The main character to whom the couple reacted in the same way is the most famous guardian in the kingdom.
“It’s Runia Aden. Are you Corin Locke’s adoptive parent?”
Runia Arden. One of the strongest knights in active duty, who often appears in the Guardian magazine.
There is no citizen of the kingdom who does not know the granddaughter of Garand Arden, the sword emperor who dominated an era just 30 years ago!
” What on earth is Knight Lu Runia doing here?”
“Hmm? Oh, I guess you didn’t hear. “Father.”
“Huh?”
“Father?”
Runia came into the house with long strides and bowed politely to the two people with her socks.
Why on earth would a famous person in the kingdom be so kind to a restaurant owner? What is your father? ?!
“Although it’s not official, I’m Runia Aden, and I’m engaged to your son.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Hey, hey, engaged?!”
It was like a lightning bolt had struck a dry sky. Engaged? Who? With whom? ?My cub? With Runia Aden?
“I came to the royal capital because I had a royal call, so I came just to say hello. Jenny.”
At her words, Jenny, one of the five swords, brought a long box from behind like a servant.
She handed Runia an item neatly wrapped in cloth from the box. Runia handed it to the couple as is.
“Please take it. It is a Toesan sword that chases away evil spirits. If placed for decoration, it forms a barrier that prevents evil spirits from entering. If you have good inspiration, you can use it to cut down evil spirits yourself.”
In other words, it is a magic artifact. This means that it is a precious item that cannot be obtained even if you pay money.
“Oh no, why on earth…”
“These are the things that were sent from Fiancé’s parents. Because it shouldn’t be twisted. Please think of this as Runia Aden’s small heart and accept it.”
“Aye… thank you.”
“Please leave it to me. Since you are Corin’s father, you are also my father.”
“Is that so? Then… your daughter-in-law?”
Ludin Locke was stabbed in the side by his wife with a thud. Looking at the two of them, Runia smiled lightly.
“It looks like you’re not here. I heard that he was a student at the Royal Academy, so he brought a bido that he could wear in his bag like an accessory. It’s a small thing, but please accept it.”
“Uh, huh?”
The two people who accepted the item as if passing it on had to see Runia off as she left without even being able to say anything about this dream-like reality.
“……Honey.”
“Yes.”
“Did Corin write something like this in his letter?”
“…Not at all.”
“This bastard… I sent him to the academy to become a knight, but he ends up dating?” “
But still… I’m sure I have a taste. He’s older… I guess he’s the same as you.”
“Kkeukkeum…!”
The couple was anxious as they cleaned up the house that had been swept away by the storm.
The chairman of the Merkava Academy and the next head of Aden, a famous swordsman in the eastern part of the country. Either way, he would be the daughter-in-law. He was such a burdensome opponent.
“I need to take a break from business today.”
“Okay. Ugh, how much is that? My heart is pounding.”
That afternoon, their son, who had been waiting for them, knocked on the front door of their house.
“I think Corinne is here!”
“Hmm…! I have to go quickly and ask. A leg of lamb…! A leg of lamb!”
Ludin Locke and Suell Locke quickly rushed to the front gate, welcoming their prodigal son who returned home after a year and a half. The gate opened like that. The
reunion with their son was the worst.
“Hello. My name is Marie Dunareff.”
“Oh, I’m Alicia Arden. Corin’s friend… I am.”
“Hello… Hello.”
“Boss… No, I’m Ren, and I’m indebted to my brother.”
Beautiful girls of all kinds. The girls my son brought on both sides were his parents-in-law. He clearly looks nervous, as if he is visiting his family.
“My father!” My Mother! Your Sun is back!”
“………….”
“………….”
Isn’t it right?
This bastard can’t go to the Academy and They didn’t just come here to seduce women, right?
The couple’s uneasy intuition was roughly correct.
171. Back to the Academy I killed the player.
