How To Tame an Academy Dragon

33. It’s not a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding

The mere fact that the emperor is visiting the academy has turned the commercial district in front of the academy into a festive mood.

The day before the visit, workers and academy staff who filled the streets were busy cleaning up the streets, and the stores decorated their exteriors to look better to the emperor.

In terms of the military, it might feel similar to the visit of a division commander, but that’s an unwelcome guest, and this is probably the difference between a genius and one chance.

If the emperor is very lucky enough to visit before and after the conferment ceremony and mention even a tiny bit about a particular shop, that shop will hit the jackpot that day.

On the other hand, when someone says, “Somewhere is a bit bad~”, Everyone is putting their energy into it because they have to shut down right away.

Even Sellus visited the stationery store several times to check the quality and condition of the items he delivered.

I even asked if it would be a good idea to throw away anything that seemed defective or damaged on the spot, bring in a new one, or remove it from the display altogether.

“Jerky food…Will it be okay?”

“Wouldn’t that be okay? It’s not like we’re selling food we can’t eat.”

“That’s right, but…”

After checking the overall elements of the store with Sellus all night, I finally fell asleep after midnight.

The next morning. I came down to open the store door, but I couldn’t help but be surprised even though I expected it to some extent.

The streets were crowded with citizens who came out to see the emperor from the morning. It was so crowded that there was no space to even step on.

Imperial soldiers were placed at regular intervals so that the citizens who filled the streets did not come out on the road where the emperor’s procession passed.

A street where four wagons could easily pass, now two can barely pass, giving an idea of how many people had gathered.

In front of the academy, there are only citizens because it is the section where the emperor goes.

Since the children who bought a lot of snacks from the street vendors are holding their parents’ hands and waiting for the emperor’s carriage to appear soon.

Colorful confetti for the emperor fluttered in the sky, and military bands lined up on both sides of the wide open academy entrance were waiting.

After a while, the commotion caused by the crowd from far away began to reach us.

“It’s a wagon!”

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone’s eyes focused on the end of the street at the words that were delivered clearly in the midst of the tumult.

Thump!

The imperial soldiers deployed at arm’s length stomped their right foot once in perfect order. Even though so many soldiers stamped their feet, the floor was swept so well that not even dust rose.

Chuck!

And the imperial soldiers tilted the spears they were holding to the left to completely block the gap between people so that people could not pass.

I came to admire the dependability of the soldiers who looked straight ahead, unmoved by the cries of the citizens.

There were a total of 5 wagons, all bearing the emblem of an eagle, the symbol of the imperial family.

There were countless soldiers escorting the emperor’s procession back and forth, and I wondered if several wagons were prepared without knowing where the emperor rode.

In a previous life, didn’t several helicopters fly when the president boarded them? I thought it was in a similar vein.

At the moment I thought it was very important to maintain security because it would be a big deal if the head of a country had an accident.

The lid of the wagon in the middle opened.

It was not a lie, it was folded and opened like a real open car, and Herks Digunt, the emperor of the empire, appeared in the imperial robes, not golden armor.

The emperor, who raised his hand with a benevolent smile and looked around at the citizens who followed him, did not even worry about the slightest bit.

Who dares to harm this body?

He was saying that with all his body, standing tall and majestic.

The emperor, who was leisurely greeting the citizens, made eye contact with me, who was standing in front of the stationery store. He didn’t say much, but he gave me a very small nod of his head.

Would you say hello?

I also greeted the emperor with a simple bow.

For reference, this is a later story, but at this time the emperor said, ‘You cheeky bastard. Shall I slit his throat?’ After thinking about it for a while, Hyman informed me.

As soon as the escorts standing in the vanguard entered the academy first and the naked emperor passed through the entrance, the military bands started playing and the imperial national anthem rang out.

Then the citizens alike sang the national anthem in a loud voice, which spread in a booming voice until the emperor disappeared into the academy.

A short but intense moment passed, and then the citizens who came to their senses began to leave their seats one by one.

I must have seen the emperor’s face. Since the ceremony was attended by students and officials from within the academy, ordinary citizens of the Empire could not see it.

So all that’s left is to have fun in the streets decorated like a festival. From now on, it’s time for bosses like me to exert their strength.

The surrounding commercial districts are, on average, expensive as before.

Those who live to a certain extent can use it without difficulty, but most commoners have difficulty using it.

The simple interior of the stationery shines here. It looks relatively shabby and cheap, so people visit it even out of curiosity.

And when I went on a trip, what were the national rules? I want to buy or own things that I wouldn’t normally buy.

Especially, neck pillows and rounds sold well. (Hair roll, I suddenly remembered this name a while ago. However, it seemed too late to correct it, so the name was fixed as round.)

When I put on my knees to show embarrassing moments and curled round hair into my bangs, young women especially liked it and bought it in large quantities.

“Sell at Salus store~”

Suddenly, he didn’t forget to advertise for his business partner.

We couldn’t ignore the demand for chocolate sora bread and other school supplies, but the shelves were empty in two hours, so we had to get things out of the warehouse in a hurry.

How happy I would be if I could end my day like this. The money earned today was close to two weeks’ worth of sales.

But as always. Disasters always come without warning.

After some time passed, the sound of speeches from inside the academy subsided. After a while, I heard the sound of firing a cannon, so it seemed that the ceremony was coming to an end.

And it must have been about 5 seconds.

“Huh? What’s flying over there?”

A male customer just left the store staring at the sky and pointing a finger.

With his actions, the people around him gradually began to look in the direction the man pointed, and soon crowd psychology spread and everyone began to look up at the sky.

Black dots.

There was a black dot on the sun.

No. It would be more accurate to say that there is not a spot on the sun, but that something is flying with the sun at its back.

Could it be a UFO?

“There can be no such thing…”

The black dot is getting bigger and bigger. Anyone looking at it could tell that it was falling toward the ground.

“Floating, falling!!! Run away!!!”

“Evacuate the citizens!!”

Looking at the gradually growing black dot, everyone came to one accord.

Citizens screamed and ran in all directions, and soldiers screamed and ran to evacuate as quickly as possible to calm the confusion.

In the midst of everyone running away in a hurry. Only I was blankly looking up at the sky.

“Ah, Mister! We have to run!! No, ah…Ah!!”

A young man using the store grabbed me and shook me, but when I didn’t move, I quickly gave up and ran away.

Thanks to the scattered people who became abusive like the man, the front of the store was deserted, and within a radius of 100 meters it was empty.

While admiring the imperial army’s faster-than-expected work, the black dot grew in an instant and I began to clearly see it in my field of vision.

Black wings and tail blowing in the wind.

His face had a needlessly bright smile, even his teeth were showing. Perhaps few of the people here can see her properly.

Quang! Clink! Pop!

When the mad dragon crashed into the ground, dust and debris flew in all directions. The wind pressure that occurred at the same time could not withstand the glass of nearby shops and burst.

In the thick dust, the shape of a dragon swayed, and the dust was lifted in an instant by the flapping of its wings.

When the dust cleared and visibility was secured, I could witness the horrors as if a war had broken out.

As if there was an earthquake, the people’s hard work the night before was overshadowed by the cracked avenue and the pots and sculptures that were installed to decorate the store and fell over and broke.

All the glass around me was broken, including my stationery. The floor was full of food and items that people had dropped while running away, so it was truly an apocalypse scene.

“Huh!”

And the Doha Prius in the shape of a half-man, half-dragon that greets you while waving refreshingly.

Losing her language, I involuntarily waved her hand at her.

“Su, isn’t that the bestowal ceremony?”

“Right. I just got it.”

Doha The Prius showed his medal by tapping his index finger on his left chest.

The emperor’s medal, decorated in the shape of an eagle on a red cloth, was sparkling with gold.

“But why…?”

“Oh no, I’ve been thinking about it.”

“What?”

It is beneficial to those around you if you think less. I swallowed the words I couldn’t spit out.

Doha The Prius carelessly brushed off the dust on his clothes and walked towards me. He meanwhile removed the medal from his chest.

“I told you. Isn’t it funny to receive an award for something I didn’t do?”

She waved at me the medal she held in her hand.

“And prizes are given by superiors to inferiors, right?”

The Doha Prius, standing in front of me, made eye contact with me, then blushed a little and averted my gaze.

“That’s why this medal is mine too. I can do whatever I want, right?”

“Yes?”

What the hell is he talking about?

I couldn’t understand what they were saying from one to ten. When I didn’t understand and asked back like an idiot, the Doha Prius let out a sigh as if frustrated.

“Just shut up.”

“What are you going to…?”

Action speaks louder than words.

The Doha Prius gave up on explanation and decided to show it in person.

She put the medal she was holding in her hand to my left chest and started to set the pin by moving her fingers.

While she was putting the medal on me, her fingers repeatedly touched and fell on my chest.

“Come on!”

“Ouch!

Soon after she succeeded in giving me the medal, she hit me hard in the chest with her palm.

“It suits you!”

I felt the medal of her cold touch as I grasped her beaten chest. As I looked down at her medal on her chest, she spoke in a somewhat cheerful voice.

“Because it’s mine. Whoever you give it to, it’s my heart. So keep it carefully.”

“No. Can I do this? Don’t you get scolded? I think someone will be in trouble if they see this…”

Fortunately, everyone ran away when the Doha Prius cast a Hero Landing.

With access restricted by the Imperial Army, I could feel the eyes of people wondering what the hell was going on from afar.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! I’ve been granted permission from the emperor~”

“You’re…Are you sure?”

I was worried that it might be notification rather than permission, but the Doha Prius wahahahahaha! I laughed and passed it on.

The Doha Prius, which had been laughing, became more relaxed and smiled at me, but the corners of its eyes went down, giving it a very benign look.

…Pretty and damn.

“No one has won an award from me? Be good.”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

“Huh~”

A Doha Prius stares at me as I bow down to express my gratitude. I tilted her head, wondering if she had anything more to say, but then she shook her head and turned away.

“Okay~ I’m going~”

“I heard the ceremony was over.”

“Ah… That?”

Doha The dragon features on the body of the Prius scatter and disappear.

And over her shoulder, I could see people rushing towards her from the front gate of the academy.

“Of course it’s goo.”

She turned her head to show her side profile, grinned like a villain, and waved her hands as she walked towards her front door. .

“Huh true.”

Even at that moment, laughter leaked out from the V-shaped fingers sticking out above their heads.
