I Killed the Academy Player - I Killed the Academy Player chapter 135

Ordinary farm girl Marie (1)

“Eat to your heart’s content, young lady! This is the sincerity of our chapter!”

Dunareff… To be precise, the characteristic of southerners is that they eat a lot.

As much as they were engaged in the primary industry, crossing rough farming, mining, and animal husbandry, there was a lot of food everywhere, and this became the climate of the entire south.

It is the influence of this culture that potatoes, which can be replenished as much as possible, are the main crop, and even animal blood is a food ingredient.

Apart from that, Marie Dunareff, who has an influence that would not be an exaggeration to say that it is an empire in the south, is treated, but it is impossible to make it simple.

“Wow! I’ll eat well!”

Of course, Marie is also a glutton who eats generously. Especially after becoming a vampire.

“Whoa~ It was really delicious. The staff at the Merkava branch are really good!”

“Of course. His Excellency also dispatched the best materials and staff.”

After finishing the meal, I left my fork behind, and the attendants quickly came to me, removed the dishes and utensils, and set the tea set and dessert.

This kind of hospitality is a standard for her wherever she goes on the continent, so she is used to it.

“How about open sales? Everyone worked hard, I hope good results.”

“We are still in the red because we pay a lot of attention to the open event, but if we convert the supply of the academy and form a city distribution network, we can turn it into a surplus within three months. In the meantime, we have been making deliveries to the academy at a loss.”

The academy Marie attends. In commemoration of that, the Dunarev family is supplying food to the academy at a low price.

In front of Corinne, he said that he was selling everything at a profit, but in fact, it costs a lot of money to distribute fresh raw meat and whole unslaughtered livestock.

The Duke of Palbulchul accepted the loss in order to feed his daughter the best food materials while she was in school.

However, as Dunaref has officially entered Merkava and is forming a distribution network, it has become Marie Dunarev who decides the distribution price.

From noble mtl dot com

“Um~ I don’t think we’d have to raise the price for circulating the academy. We can afford to lose that much!”

The loss is about 1,700 gold every year, but that amount is less than Deokgu’s monthly allowance, and he can pass it on thinking that he has bought food for seniors and juniors of the academy once.

“Rather than that, the matter the lady said. His Excellency, upon receiving the report, was very angry.”

“Ah~ towards the magic tower.”

“You dare to think of kidnapping our young lady as a test subject…! This is unacceptable!”

“I didn’t actually do it, though.”

“Just thinking about it is a felony!”

Evidence has already been secured. Their guilt is too obvious.

“Please wait for action. I intend to consult with Corinne.”

“Hmm, I see. But what about those wizards…?”

“I’ll be visiting soon, so please do as you normally would!”

That’s how I passed on the Mage Tower issue and Marie moved on to something more important to me.

“Rather than that, how about a borrowed-name account that will be made under the name of Korin?”

“Yes! The account created for Master Corinne Locke has been steadily depositing real estate and gold coins since 8 months ago! Withdrawal of 80,000 gold is possible from anywhere on the continent through the gold coin storage of the Protestant Church!”

“It’s not a lot of money, but Corinne will need an emergency fund anyway! Hee hee, I hope he likes it.”

“You will be very pleased, my lady.”

“Maybe?”

“sure.”

“It’s a bit surprising if you’re too surprised…”

“Even so, we must do it. Who is he? Isn’t he the benefactor of our great family, the Dunarev?”

“That’s right! This is just a way to repay the favor! But when you think about it that way, it seems a bit tight. Right?”

“Hmm… sure!”

Baron Bolton, the head of the Merkava branch, knew very well how Marie felt about Corinne.

The Duke of Marde ordered them to separate, but where did the burning youth fall so easily?

Above all, when the duke retires, the next powerful person will be the next duke Marie.

Considering the glory of his children and grandchildren, the Duke of Marde was not the target to be seen well.

Bolton lightly ignored Duke Mard’s instructions and chose a path that would be visible to Duchess Elysia and the next duke.

“Isn’t the opponent the next duke’s wife? To maintain dignity, 10,000 gold per month is a little less.”

“Go, Duchess? Ah, no! Not yet… yet that kind of relationship…!”

“This… the old man is being blamed.”

This is virtually certain. Baron Bolton vowed to look good to Corinne as well.

“As we enter Merkava, we are also setting up shops in nearby towns and wagon platforms. How about selecting a few places with decent profits and setting them up as honorary branch managers?”

“That’s nice! Corinne will be able to feel like the president later, and I think she’ll like it!”

“Haha, even the duke’s wife is an active person, so it wouldn’t be bad to start lightly by handing out a few business cards.”

“Looking at your classes these days, you seem to be interested in being a magistrate too…”

“Ohh~ That magistrate. He’s a wonderful person with a natural sense of duty and even a sense of justice!”

“Hee hee, right? Our Corinne is such a nice person.”

Marie likes it when she praises Corinne. Looking at the reaction of this lame girl, Bolton’s mouth twitched for no reason.

“ha······.”

Marie let out a sullen sigh even though the conversation was going well. When the future master reacted like that, Bolton broke into a sweat.

“Uh, is there something that makes you uncomfortable?”

“Ah~ I’m sorry. It’s just… it’s a personal concern.”

“I see. If you don’t mind, would you like to talk to me? Maybe there’s something I can do to help.”

Strictly speaking, the branch entered for Marie’s convenience is the Merkava branch.

Bolton is more like being dispatched as Marie’s exclusive butler than a professional manager for business profitability.

“This bolton. I will solve Lady Marie’s troubles with all my heart!”

“Umm… This is my friend.”

The story of Master Corinne and Lady Marie. Bolton listened to Marie’s story through a filter.

“This is so…”

“So I want to cheer you up somehow. Is there any way?”

indeed. It’s a likely story. I want to cheer up a man who is sullen over a small failure. What if it’s a story like this…

“Don’t worry, young lady. This Bolton. The Duchess… no, I have a plan to blow away your worries about your friend at once.”

“What is that?”

Marie listened to Baron Bolton’s words with a brightened complexion.

3 minutes of whispering like that. Marie tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

“Would that work?”

“It’s okay, lady. If you’re a man, you have no choice but to die.”

“Umm… 20,000 gold, right? The latest market price.”

“How can you sell it for money, my lady? Just take it as a decent one.”

“It’s okay! I’ll write you a blank bill, so pay for it!”

“I see, miss.”

On that day, Marie returned to the academy and her steps became lighter.

* * * *

A fight with Baltazar. and defeat. The chairman died, and Corinne devoted herself to training every day.

Of course, I know that Eriu Kasar, the chairman of the board, is a doll, not a real body. The story behind it is that an ancient tribe of gods called Danan is intertwined.

However, he is depressed for days and days, as if he was attaching great importance to this failure.

“Whoa, whoa…”

Looking at him today as he trains hard, he thinks that even he, who is far from laziness, is not lazy compared to that boy…

“Corin! Good job! Do you want some water?”

“Ah, thank you.”

Corinne readily accepts and gulps down the water she created herself. In the meantime, Marie wipes away the sweat with a dry towel.

I was quickly drenched in sweat pouring down like rain, but I didn’t feel the slightest discomfort.

On the contrary, he has his own pride in saying that he is the only one who wipes away Corinne’s sweat.

“I’m sorry. I keep making you do things like this.”

“Huh? No! Not at all! I know that Corinne is working hard! But… I hope Corinne gets some rest.”

I know why Corinne is like that. Maybe it’s because the defeat at that time is not forgotten.

The helplessness felt in front of the unprecedentedly strong man named Baltazar is shared by everyone present.

“I’m sorry. But… right now, there’s just too much to do.”

“Yeah… I know. When a man is doing a big job, there are times when he has to move around!”

“I’ve been worried for so long, I’m sorry.”

“No no no! I support anything Corinne does!”

Is it because there are such strong supporters? Corinne is Marie fighting! The expression that had been hardened gradually loosened, as if the mood had improved.

“Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

“Is that so? The Dutch are…”

“He said he had business with the church. Since Arisha hasn’t been discharged yet… would you like to call her senior friends?”

“No, no, no?! Everyone is busy! Midterms are coming soon!”

“Ah~ That’s right. There was also a midterm exam, right?”

Because of my busy life, I even forgot the midterm exam. Corinne wondered if she should start studying for the midterm exams from now on.

“Eyu~ The grades are all based on your usual skills.”

“Gruchi~ If it’s Corin, you’ll do well!”

“If you knew my grades last year, you wouldn’t say that. Haha.”

“Rather than that, how about dinner at a restaurant in the city? I have something to show you.”

“Will you show me?”

Marie followed Bolton’s advice very faithfully.

However, it was a problem that the standard was Dunarev’s potato hectare standard.

* * * *

Basically, big cities have no-fly ordinances.

In order to alleviate fatigue from anti-aircraft defense and to prevent raids on the city center, it is forbidden to fly or raise flying beasts, except for a very small number.

However, in those very few cases, the Dunarev family belonged. To be precise, it was a special exception allowed only for high-ranking nobles or royalty above the duchy.

Marie hadn’t used this special case at all, but only recently had she been using it one by one.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Needless to say who caused it.

Receive the forbidden flight ordinance in the city and unlock fast travel. This is a content that can only be unlocked in the mid-to-late half of .

Corinne tried to lift the ban quickly by using her authority as Marie’s duke’s daughter.

Established a private guild of “Corin Guardians”. In earnest, he digs an optimized path for missions outside the academy.

During the first year, the money earned from Guanxi, sympathy show of emotions, and overpriced food sales in travel destinations was put into the establishment of the Guardians office.

To be precise, the main capital was the money laundered by Lenya Claire, an information guild executive disguised as a sponsor of Corinne Guardians.

‘The budget is 2,000 gold. After… In terms of Hanwha, it is 2 billion won. I’ve been wanting stolen property sales and special loans from the Guardians.’

This is a good that players at this point can’t even imagine. Unless she used a cheat emulator, she wouldn’t have been able to save as much money as Corinne.

2 billion. never a lot of money. But Corinne was confident.

Future events to come, investments that predicted them… and goods to be obtained by resolving important events.

2 billion is somehow solved. It’s easy to say that it’s a little bit of an investment.

With that kind of investment, building a shiny building for the Corinne Guardians office shouldn’t be a big deal!

“Oh~ The building is big. It’s shiny.”

Areas in the game where players can purchase and build buildings. Corinne admired the five-story building in front of her.

“It was built by your senior’s construction company, right? It’s bigger than I thought, right?”

All I wanted was a four-story building. I was thinking of making a Wyvern landing pad on the roof and putting in a supply warehouse and a restaurant, so that was enough.

“Yeah! I told my dad that we were going to raise the building, so he said it was cheaper.”

“Yeah~ It’s nice to have a network like this.”

Like it. The previous episode also ended with just a 4-story building, but it would be bad if it increased even more.

“Let’s go in. Uh-oh, but construction is being done in all directions here. Has anyone made a large-scale investment?”

“Corin, where are you going?”

“Where are you going? The office.”

“Isn’t that the office?”

“huh?”

“huh?”

A gap in perception between the two. Marie takes Corinne’s hand and drags her to a site under construction right next door.

“Uh, senior?”

“Last time, Corinne said we should build a barn for the Wyvern in advance.”

“Yes.”

Corinne is a first class knight. Marie is officially a semi-express. A de facto super wizard.

As the members of the Corinne Guardians are outstanding guardians, they are the guardians that the Guardian Association pays attention to.

High-tier Guardians are given a special opportunity to purchase or rent a Wyvern at a low price. Corinne intended to use this position to rent up to six wyverns.

“I found a wyvern! They are of good breed and listen well to people! Corinne has good abilities, so I got permission right away!”

“Oh~ at once? That’s very fortunate.”

Even if Corinne is a first-class knight, top-notch Wyvern breeds are not easily sold.

Even in the game, it is a content that can be unlocked only by purchasing Wyverns step by step from the lowest level to the highest level.

In fact, wyvern eggs are airborne. It was a means to force the quest to build a nest and hatch it yourself, but even in reality, purchases were restricted under the name of ‘authority’ and ‘credit’.

“hmm?”

It’s definitely good news, but Corinne caught something in Marie’s words. ‘sale’. It’s a sale, not a ‘rent’.

“Uh, wait. Six Wyverns… Six superlatives? ‘Buy’?”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

You wouldn’t have the budget for that?

“Now, it’s arrival! This is the ‘Wyvern Barn’ we built!”

huge door. A gate that is obviously too tall for people to pass through.

“············senior.”

“Ugh?”

“What’s this?”

“The backyard of our office… Wyvern barn and airfield!”

It’s huge.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No, spacious would be a more accurate expression.

I was told to build a corner of the undeveloped area as an office building, but I wondered if I might have bought an entire area.

“That’s our office, that’s the supply warehouse.”

“Then… what about the five-story building we just passed?”

“That’s Deokgu’s house?”

“···············.”

Is the dog house in one building?

The moment Corin was looking at this crazy scale with a dejected expression, the gate to the site that was being built as a Wyvern barn opened——

-bread! Bpabang!

Firecrackers exploded in the ears and greeted the two.

“Welcome, Lady Marie! Master Corinne!”

When the door opened, hundreds of people clapped as if they were waiting for Corinne and Marie.

The absurd scene. Corinne saw a banner hanging among the crowd.

“axis! Sir Corinne Locke! The baronial conferment ceremony!”

“senior?”

“Bambara~bum! Are you surprised? Congratulations, Corinne! No, from now on, I’ll have to call you Baron Corinne!”

“······yes?”

A very sudden surprise party. And at the sudden conferment ceremony, Corin was dumbfounded.

“Dukes have the right to bestow titles on vassal families. I asked my father to appoint Corin as our family’s vassal baron!”

why? Even before the question could be asked, Baron Bolton, the manager of the Merkava branch of Dunarev Distribution, approached from the crowd.

He was dressed more like a waitress than an executive at the top.

“Congratulations, Baron Locke. You have been appointed vassal of the Duke of Dunareff as of the present time, and you have thus received a fief of fifteen thousand hectares, two hundred pigs, a thousand chickens, thirty cows and an 80-ton Aumdra cormorant. I was given one cow.”

“Wow! Congratulations, Corinne!”

– Clap clap clap!!

– Clap clap clap!!

The sound of hundreds of people clapping in unison was enough to tear the eardrums. However, Corinne, still unable to keep up with the situation, just looks at them with a blank expression.

“Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Excuse me? Am I the only one who can’t follow this story? Huh?”

“Uh… Ko, Corinne, isn’t it enough? There’s still a lot left.”

“Senpai? To senpai?!”

Corinne grabs Marie’s shoulder and shakes it when she sees Marie’s expression that she doesn’t understand. It’s a look that says why are you doing this to me?

-Wow, how can you be so unreserved towards Lady Dunarev?

-As expected, the next duchess. It should look good.

-I’ll have to send a gift to the manor.

Unlike Corinne, who was in a half-panic state, the onlookers were calculating Corinne’s future value.

“Hehe, it’s not a big deal, so don’t be too pressured. Most of it was solved with my pocket money.”

Marie, who smiles slyly. Just as he was about to say something to Marie. Baron Bolton, who was in charge of the ceremony, grabbed the microphone.

“Then everyone! Highlight of the day! The special squadron of the Dunarev family! There will be an air show of Sky Potatoes!」

-Wow!

-Quaaaaaang! Boom!

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

A cacophony of firecrackers, cheers, and Wyvern screams. Wyverns flying towards the sky splendidly soared, spraying colored smoke in the blue sky.

Sky Potatoes.

Wyvern riders who have won the Royal Air Show hosted by the royal family several times every year, and who are called once, are said to break 10,000 units of gold.

The best wyvern riders in the kingdom, who would be called upon at the birth of a precious hand in the royal family or at a coronation ceremony, participate in the conferment ceremony for a title such as a baron.

Visitors to this place will decide for themselves what this means.

Fortunately for Corinne, it was an informal event, so reporters were not invited.

“Aren’t they cool? They’re the best wyverns of the Impulse family, who are professionally breeding wyverns in our family.”

“·······.”

“Ah, by the way, the six wyverns we put in the barn this time are those wyverns!”

“One… a thousand gold…”

“And the long-awaited highlight!”

「Ah~ come down! Source of the wind! Master of the Storm! The super-large flying beast selected as the most beautiful passenger on the continent!」

From noble mtl dot com

Its broad flaps of wings block the sun, its large beak is golden, and its strong gaze pierces the heart of the storm.

「Hresbelg…! It is a treasure awarded to Baron Locke as proof of the trust of the Duke of Dunareff and as a standard bearer of the Golden Potato Flower!”

Six top-notch wyverns. Unit price about 6,000 gold.

Super large passenger number Hresbelg. The unit price is about 23,000 gold.

Plus a barony, a fief of 15,000 hectares, and thousands of livestock.

Is there anyone on the continent who can understand that these are all small gifts from a girl who wants to look good to a boy?

“How are you, Corinne? Are you happy?”

“···············Request for return.”

“Huh?”

The face of the princess of the potato empire was stained with bewilderment.
