Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 267



266 – Tailbiting_2

Taylor Marvel actually didn’t look too badly on Elizabeth for not returning home for over a month.

His work would be the same with or without her, and her domain would be taken care of by other quick and diligent S-classes.

‘In times like this, it helps to be slow.’

Anyway, even though he was an S-class hero, his veins did not have oil or electricity flowing through them instead of blood. He was just a human with red blood flowing through his veins like any other normal person.

Of course, it cannot be said that they are completely the same as ordinary people.

However, since he was not made of iron, he could feel emotions like other ordinary people.

What this means is that, like most people, there are times when you suddenly don’t want to work, and times when you just want to quit.

‘Even S-class heroes need a vacation.’

What if she had just been shirking her responsibilities and playing around?

Even among the S-class members of the Holy Empire, he was a bit aggressive, but he worked harder than anyone else.

He doesn’t even go on the typical vacation, he’s a workaholic all year round.

Then wouldn’t it be okay to take a rest for a month or two?

There are also people who say that you, who have worked hard, should leave.

So when she was first asked to come on board, Taylor Marvell refused.

But when he inquired about the reason why Elizabeth did not return, he was surprised.

‘That witch is in love. And to a kid twenty years younger than her. And in a good mood.’

It’s amazing that love has come to her, a single woman in her 40s, and that she looks so good just by looking at her face.

‘I guess I’m just having fun.’

Taylor Marvel, who knew that even her appearance made up by her illusionary magic was not that different from the original due to her twisted ideas, could not believe that there was a man who was so nice that she could have a good atmosphere with her.

‘This has to go.’

This is unbearable.

I had to see if any guy was going to hook up with her.

For Taylor Marvel, who has a bad relationship with her, though it’s not much of a deal, this was an opportunity she couldn’t miss.

No, it doesn’t have to be all true.

The fact that such information has spread means that something is out there.

Either that or she might have been fooled by the swallow, but Taylor Mabille had a hunch that this was something that could be played around with for twenty years.

That’s why I went back on my words and agreed.

That’s how I arrived in South Korea, and the witch’s lover.

also…

“Taylor, could you spare me a moment?”

Elizabeth grits her teeth and glares even though she is using fantasy magic.

‘Oh. This is it.’

Taylor Marvel’s lips rose.

If I could keep watching that, I felt like I wouldn’t need any snacks even if I drank alcohol.

“Who are you?”

“I am Amanda Salon, a second-level manager at the Aksha Auction House. Lady Elizabeth sent me to see you, Taylor.”

“okay?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That’s right.”

But now is not the time.

I didn’t come here just to see this level of reaction.

That’s why Taylor Marvell calmed the corners of his mouth from rising to the surface with superhuman patience.

“That’s funny. Tell him to come to you in person if he needs anything done.”

“…Are you talking directly?”

“Yes, I will tell you in person.”

“…”

Amanda Salon, no, Elizabeth’s eyes turned into axe eyes and stabbed Taylor Marvel.

And then he moved his mouth slightly so that it was not visible.

If we were to interpret the meaning, it would be like this.

‘Is this what’s going to happen? Come out with me?’

But Taylor Marvell took a guise.

From noble mtl dot com

If you have something to say, say it yourself.

“This is what Lady Elizabeth earnestly requested. Bring Taylor to me somehow.”

“I like this place. I’ve made some young friends that I like. Also, aren’t I getting old? At this age, if I move around too much, my back starts to hurt, so please understand.”

Taylor Mabille nodded at Lee Seong-hyeon, who was sitting next to him.

“eww…”

Elizabeth’s fingertips trembled slightly.

But I couldn’t move any further than that.

It was not that she did not know what he meant by what he said.

“Do you need to take a dump? The bathroom is over there.”

“Taylor.”

“Do you know that? The girl who came to South Korea last time was called Elizabeth…”

“… Sir. Please. Please save me. If you don’t come, I will die.”

“That’s too bad. But what can I do? This place is just too good.”

“Te─”

“Seonghyeon-gun.”

-Ugh.

I heard bones breaking.

Taylor Mabille lowered his sunglasses.

I feel like I can enjoy this for a long time.

They both can’t even afford to pay for the night and are in trouble.

I couldn’t believe that one of them was in his 40s and the other one was approaching his 20s.

‘Doesn’t matter?’

That situation isn’t all bad.

Rather, you could even say it was good.

That would be the case. Elizabeth probably doesn’t want her identity to be revealed right now, so she’d probably want to push things along a bit more and make the relationship completely certain.

On the other hand, Taylor Marvel would pretend to be friendly with me just to tease her.

It was becoming easier to become close with Taylor Marvel, who I had been worrying about until just now, and to make Elizabeth anxious.

I was wondering what would be better if I said this was not good.

“please.”

“Come yourself.”

“Somehow…”

“Then it’s impossible. Let’s find another way.”

I didn’t intend to leave it out though.

It wasn’t a bad sign that the two were teasing each other, but if a mistake was made, the plan could fall apart.

Also, even if I showed that I was on good terms with him here, it would be difficult for proper information to spread to Tachibana Rie.

First of all, I had to go outside.

“Please don’t tease your sister too much, sir.”

I stood up and stepped between Elizabeth and Taylor Mabille.

“You’re kidding me. Is this what you call kidding me?”

“The corners of your lips are trembling slightly, sir.”

“Ahem.”

Taylor cleared his throat and straightened the corners of his mouth.

“Seonghyun…”

Elizabeth grabbed my sleeve, sobbing softly as if she was touched.

“Sister. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

“That’s good. From now on, leave it to me.”

“Okay, I’ll only trust Seonghyun.”

“Sister.”

“Seonghyun.”

“…Huh. This is the end of the world.”

And at the ensuing affectionate act and the atmosphere it created, Taylor Marvel looked back and forth between me and Elizabeth with an expression of disbelief, then shook his head.

‘I’m not saying this because I want to.’

When you look at me with those eyes, my fragile heart is wounded.

‘That’s a lie, though.’

I guess it’s okay.

Things were still going smoothly as planned.

That doesn’t mean there weren’t any problems.

Even if the hypothesis about Yukina is correct, I also needed to think hard to get to that conclusion.

Even if you throw the bait you caught as bait again, there is a possibility that Tachibana Rie will not move.

So, in order to move her with certainty, it was necessary to prepare several things.

Of course, some of that preparation was done by the saboteur, so I just had to pick the easy parts.

‘I must have warned you to prevent it. But the human mind is not that easy.’

Even if you prepare for it, it can change depending on the situation.

I don’t know if it’s consequential or if it was set up that way.

In the end, it seems like the disruption might be beneficial.

If you succeed.

‘I’ll give you something small.’

But I can’t give you anything big.

I can’t take it anyway.

“Seonghyun, tonight…”

“I’ll check my schedule and get back to you. I’m sorry, I’ve been busy on and off.

“No, that could be the case.”

“Sister.”

“Seonghyun.”

“Ugh!”

A loud cough rang in my ears.

The source of the sound is Taylor Marvel.

It seemed like it was no longer fun because I kept sticking with Elizabeth and leaving her out.

He jumped up from his seat.

“This place is so cramped. If you’re the president of the Laplace Academy student council, you must know the geography of this place well, right?”

I was thinking about that anyway, but it wasn’t bad since you said it at the right time.

“Oh, is that so?”

It would be even better if you went out and took some pictures.

[Paladin, please invite more reporters.]

[You…]

[Please stop talking. I beg you.]

If it were normal, I would listen.

Because I don’t have time right now.

He was ordered to shut his mouth.

Then, the shadow rippled and disappeared into the distance without being detected by the two S-class soldiers.

‘by the way…’

I was a little curious about what he was thinking now, knowing the shameful behavior of his former coworkers and their impending downfall.

Is it anger towards me? Or pity for their future?

‘If possible, I hope it’s…’

I think it will be a good thing.

It was something I could have easily given up on until now.

From now on, this will be unstoppable.

Because of someone’s very small desire.

Blood flows, heartbreak overflows.

That’s the everyday thing.

A world like that.

It seemed like it was getting closer.
