Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

2 – Entrance (1)⚝

About three days after meeting the last group of bandits, we finally arrived near Heoden. This is close to Esiktas, ruled by the Marquis of the Gallery, and the academy we will be entering is only about ten years old. In other words, there is no tradition, and it was built for the greed and show off of a small number of nobles.

“That’s what the housekeeper and older brothers say.”

“Cheek, still bruised.”

He explains things step by step, but I still have a bad impression because I’m stuck in the wrong place. It’s something he has to endure to earn more money, but Kite just doesn’t understand. Poor people use their brains to improve their pockets.

“It was only my turn this time.”

“I hate being sick.”

“All the hyungs went through it at least once. You should get a little more.”

Speaking in theory, Kite crouched down with her characteristic hurt expression. Shrunken like a pill bug like that, she couldn’t understand her words. I knew his personality well, so I just kept quiet. She once said something harsh when she was arguing about something like this.

─Did he get angry, saying, “I’m an idiot who doesn’t know the world?”

“Yes, I am an idiot. Me too…… I don’t know. You know how stupid I am if you don’t tell me!”

Kite has a habit of chewing on what others say. So when she made a mistake, she thought about it three or four times and tended to hurt herself. She is very tired, but she wouldn’t be able to do much if she wasn’t resisting anyone.

“If I explain, will you try to understand?”

“I hate to hear it.”

“Listen and see.”

“If I understand you, you will continue.”

“Luck.”

When I say it with the title that I call whenever I get angry, I turn my head away from my body.

This awkward confrontation between us dates back to a few days ago. After loading the corpses of five demons, they stopped at the manor and knocked on the door of the vigilante in charge of security. Explaining the situation and asking for money according to their supply and demand.

“Then, 25 lugen per person would be enough?”

Ajae Ivor’s eyebrows twitched. My tendons were also swollen. At this level, there was no such thing as a very slap. Even if he couldn’t, he had to pay 30 luzen per head. It was because he was saying that if you subtract the 100 luzen he gave as evidence, he would give you only 25 luzen. Often times, the vigilante offered ridiculous amounts like this, which gave us headaches as well.

“Mister, let’s go out for a minute.”

“Come.”

I went to the place where the hyungs were gathered, and when I said it was 25 Luzen, everyone spit and cursed at me.

“You bastard, you know who the Hogu shop is. A cheap calvary can do better than that in one night?”

—That’s great.

A troubleshooter, so to speak, takes care of the problems of other territories. If one were to judge their capabilities by their mouths, the men of Nuts Haven were of the limited class.

That’s right, Ivor’s father is a veteran, and my father, Sir Ruben, was a famous knight. On the continent, these wandering soldiers are called ‘Reddit’. In fact, it was a derogatory term meaning those who eat even the reddit grass that is widely spread throughout the world.

“What are you going to do?”

“Yes, I need to listen to the opinion of our bookkeeper.”

Everyone has short bag straps, so they tend to listen to me in this respect. I asked Rot, who is from this side.

“Is there another estate nearby?”

“No, I have to go at least three or three days. It’s a very remote place here, so it’s a bit like carrying a dead body.”

—For some reason, the vigilante was playing grasshoppers.

“What if I get over here anyway?”

“There is a place called Nelta.”

“Is this a place where you often fight with the lord and the lord?”

“Don’t talk. Even when I was young, the two of us growled and fought like f*cks.”

The distance is 200 miles away, but the lord of this place will be in trouble if he gets there anyway and disposes of the body.

“Uncle.”

“Come.”

“Let’s play a game of fuss.”

“You don’t need to be hit again?”

“Everyone struggled, and I also made mistakes.”

This Mr. Bor looked at me quietly, then pressed his head with the palm of his hand and brushed it.

“There is no malice. Don’t get me wrong.”

“Yes.”

I don’t want to talk about Katabuta. When I first entered the vigilante office, my father put on studded gloves. We had no qualms about this. Immediately, the voices went back and forth, and the two of them raised their voices like madmen.

I went to the next estate and got more money, so we argued with mani, but I’ll deal with it here, and the uncle said he’ll go to Nelta unconditionally. In the end, I started to get beaten up so badly. The vigilantes stopped us only after being slapped to the point where our cheeks were really swollen. They were very quick to react.

“This bastard with no blood on his head is going if I go, where the hell are you!”

I kicked my stomach with my foot, so I twisted my body narrowly and fell to the ground.

“Oh my gosh, these people! Why are you here?”

“I’ll catch him. No, do it in moderation!”

“Well, if you go through sh*t, you can just dispose of this guy in Nelta. Won’t you give me 25 Luzen wherever you go?”

I lay down on the floor, gasping for breath, and raised my thumb toward him. Agae Ivor was spitting and making unspoken threats to the vigilante. Well, how are you? If you take this body 200 miles away from here, it will all rot. What would they say if I said I brought it from another territory?

“How long would you have come this far if I hadn’t paid you?”

“They really don’t care about public safety!”

The core of a territory is its territory and its citizens. It would be an opportunity for those in power to get a reason to criticize the lord of hostile relations with such a thing. This play was concocted as a last resort because there are so many vigilantes who beat the price.

Our destination is Heoden anyway, so we can’t even get to Nelta. However, they succeeded in giving the impression that they are going to go all the way to the real Tayeongji because they are very crazy people with their current chatter. Soon, the vigilante stood up and cleared his throat.

“Isn’t that reddit too much?”

“Damn it, what do I know about that!”

The negotiations have finally begun. Listening with bated breath, I raised the gold to 35 Luzen. As soon as I left the vigilante office, they gave me 5 luzen for my share, so I thought I had earned quite a bit.

“Deman, what’s wrong with your face?”

With the bruises, Kite knew what I had done and immediately got angry.

“Did you do that again?”

He said something while screaming at all, and I was too lazy to explain, so I handed over the whole high-quality cookie I bought. It was worth a single silver coin. She didn’t eat any of it and was sulking like a sit-in.

You don’t understand my way of doing this. Why do I have to get more money while hurting myself like this? It was a difficult problem to convince her that she was only provided with everything she had, like the plants in her greenhouse.

From the start, being a fixer is something you do without your body, but it’s good to get hurt and earn a little more money. Our consensus cannot reach the noble lady’s heart. Well, I’ve never experienced the pain and shame she went through, so it’s the realm of her understanding of each other.

“Kite, this is soggy.”

Pulling out her cookies from her tin can, Kite opened her wooden blind and poked her head out. It’s dangerous, so I do it often even though I’m told not to. With her head all out, she showed only great chest pain and pelvis. Her gaze got fuzzy and she just watched and scratched her back with her cookie tin.

“Don’t do it.”

─I have to apologize.

“You were worried about running out of cookies, right?”

“I don’t like to eat. Don’t touch me Even a fool gets angry sometimes.”

“Kite, this is how everything works here.”

No answer. I still don’t know how to get her to talk about her not talking. So it’s embarrassing, but I decided to flatter with a little sincerity.

“I worked hard to buy you the cookies you like, but it’s a bit sad because you are like this.”

“Who…… Did you ask me to buy it?”

“No.”

─Don’t cry.

“Who asked me to buy it because of that? … You hate me! I’m not an asshole, so what I’m saying is you can ignore it all the time. Like this, how can I eat comfortably? Damn, these are the cookies I bought because you were right. Rather listen to what I have to say. If you do this even though you know you hate it, you’re ignoring me. Huh?”

No, at some point I’ve been making a mojiri sound until now.

“Don’t cry for me.”

“I don’t cry.”

“Hey, you too.”

─You don’t listen to me very well. Be careful with your behavior, and if someone insults you, get angry, but just stay still. Every time, if only I endured, everyone would be happy and okay. And then you just try to get over it. No?

“I can’t eat all of this by myself.”

I decided to stop saying hurtful words. I can’t hurt you with words anymore. Kite is a soft and gentle kid. She looks fierce, but she is delicate on the inside and has a bad habit of ruminating over the past. It was more complicated than it looked, so I had to be considerate.

“Promise me you won’t.”

With a rattle, our bodies swayed along with the wagon caught on a rock, and Kite’s tears fell to the floor. I cannot make promises I cannot keep. That’s because it also touches the reason why I don’t apologize.

“I’ll shorten it.”

“Now, don’t do it. An order from me, the lord’s daughter…… I’m the eldest daughter anyway. If I inherit, no, my younger brother will receive it, but if there are still two of them, the acting lord. Right? So, are you obligated to listen to me? No responsibility! Something like that…… Hey. So swear Say in front of me that you won’t do that anymore. Since there’s only you and me here, I’m the acting lord now. Am i right? Right? No, that’s right!!”

─Don’t talk like an idiot, give your order with some confidence.

Which vassal in the world will listen to the words of a lord who is not even sure of his authority? Kite won’t become a lord anyway, so she doesn’t matter anyway. However, if she stays like this and becomes the lord’s wife, she will live being swayed by people below her.

“I got it.”

“Take it seriously. Otherwise I’ll cry again…… Will throw it away No matter how much you talk to me, I will cry, so I will tell my housekeeper and my brothers everything later. I’m upset and hurt because you didn’t listen to me, so I can’t even say anything!”

That’s a really scary thing, so I rolled up my tail for the first time. It was because the hyungs who struggled with envy of me could have kicked my belly.

I really don’t want to apologize, so I got on my knees and handed her a cookie, and Kite pressed me to promise again and again. I stuffed a cookie into my angry childhood friend’s mouth.

“Ohhhhh?”

“Our substitute lord is making strange noises.”

When I hang it on my front teeth and cut it off, I try to spit it out later, but end up chewing it up and swallowing it.

“Are you reconciled?”

“I’m still mad!”

─I thought it was all solved.

“Hey, Deman. You need to come out for a while.”
