Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

6 – Entrance ⚝

Kite is always like this. Never once did you make me uncomfortable by saying that you waited a long time.

“Can I buy you something?”

“Cookies coated with cream! I keep thinking about that.”

If it’s too much, she has it too. If you have to ask me, you must always get into the habit of getting permission. We stopped at the bakery together and bought a bunch of unexpected snacks.

“You can buy as many snacks as you like.”

“Really?”

“Not that tight.”

Our food cost is 20 rouzen a month, so 5~6 rouzen can be wasted. Since I don’t eat snacks, I can manage the cost of Kite’s snacks. She looked at me blankly and handed me a cookie. She says no and shakes her hand, then I insert it into my mouth and break her lower teeth for leverage.

“With this, you are also an accomplice?”

“Even an accomplice.”

“I have been given permission. If something goes wrong, it’s all your fault.”

If I gain weight now, they say it’s all my fault, so I just laughed it off. She was in a situation where she had to worry about her weight first before studying, but she endured it. Kite has always lived a life of permission. Here in Heoden, I am the only one who can give a favor in place of Nanny. So I guess I should feel comfortable doing it like this.

“Don’t send me a note from now on.”

“Why?”

“That is billed.”

“Creepy…… They said they’d do it for me for free?”

He asked if he had already been scammed, and because he only blinked his eyes, he roughly guessed the circumstances.

Even in Nuzhaven, there were so many men who tried to impress Kite that she was kicked at her feet. He seems to be the recipient rather than the sender, so he must have made an excuse to keep looking around moderately. It’s clear even if you don’t look

“If you don’t have anything else to buy, let’s go up.”

“How about dinner?”

“That’s about it, you should take care of yourself.”

I wanted to eat moderately and peruse the books I was guided to today. No matter how much I went to a third-rate academy, I had no intention of skimping on my studies. If you get good grades here, another path will open. In this situation, he had to take care of his kite, so he couldn’t fall behind others. I know that I have to do well.

“What about tomorrow?”

“Make a table with your roommate, not me.”

“Answer me.”

“That way, we naturally become close.”

“Pongpong, answer me.”

“Pon, Pong. See you at lunch We should discuss what lectures to take.”

I was told to go back, but they followed me, so I forced them off and sent them to the dormitory. As if the mending had not been straightened, the line between the stretched lining and outer fabric was clear. I’ll have to point it out and re-repair when I go to the clothing company the day after tomorrow.

I went into the bath by myself and bought 20L of hot water without using the public bath. It’s about twice as expensive compared to our town, so I wondered if I heard it wrong. All capitals are like that. As I went into the cubicle where I could be alone and poured hot water over and over again, unpleasant memories came to my mind.

“How is it different from a Siam cow?”

Before I went to Seoul, I had an argument with my father about a kite.

“Sacrifice cattle bred and decorated for marriage. It has nothing to do with that.”

“Stop talking disloyally. I hate to hear it.”

“Did I say something wrong?”

Maybe this is the first time I’ve stood up to my father.

“It’s enough for the young lady to be happy. Why do you ask what it is?”

“No matter how dishonestly obtained, she is still the eldest daughter. Compared to what she applied for her second daughter, Selvia, it’s so ridiculous that it’s ridiculous. Lucky, no, did Lady Kite ever get a better education than her biological mother, who was a maid. Ajae Ivor was also sarcastic. I learned how to manage my body and how to serve men in order to sell it to an old aristocrat. Knowing her father, she is a barely literate child, knowing what kind of education she is receiving every night, and still supporting her?”

To say that I would send the academy on such a subject, I was so full of spirits and stuffy nose that I couldn’t even say anything. After raising her like an idiot, isn’t it because of her desire to find a better marriage, that she would have her admitted to a place like Heoden with merit?

“So?”

My father looked at me without saying a word. He muttered, not wanting to be angry, averting his gaze.

“Because Kite always gets quiet when he gives in, so now I’m saying that I should sacrifice myself as well.”

“You have to protect me. I’m saying this because I don’t think I’ll be doing well in Heoden alone, lady.”

My father patted me on the back for the first time in his life.

─If I had been incompetent like Kite, would you have raised me like that?

The questions I couldn’t bring up in the end were pushed back into the depths of my stomach. I was able to guess the truth.

Kite and I were able to become close because we knew what the sorrow of an illegitimate child was. The reason she showed all of herself was because she was able to share with me the anxiety and suffering of being born out of wedlock. We were always dependent on each other.

“I can’t be bothered.”

After coming up to the dormitory, I carefully read the instructions on how to send a seal, and then brought a public letter the size of the palm of my hand.

「Kite, there’s no need to notice while eating snacks. If you gain weight, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry.”

There was no blank space, so it was cut off there. It was barely the size of the palm of my hand, so I couldn’t help it. I marked [Support Series – Unfaishi Kite] On the outer bag and put it in the contact box. After a while, I heard the sound of someone opening it and taking it.

Smart——

“Damn, that weird guy is in and bothering me.”

About an hour later, someone knocked on the door, and my roommate on the bed was annoyed like a girl having her period. When I pressed down the heat rising from inside and opened the door, Kite replied as expected.

「How will you take responsibility? But, I’ll do this for free. Reply me!」

“Idiot, I will never let you go if you do this.”

That Kite is beautiful is as obvious as the fact that her limbs are ugly. So, I thought that if I came here, to the capital, the man would be a little twisted. However, it’s a bit harsh for such a thing, so I’m a little tired of it.

The next day, we chose a lecture to listen to together over lunch. All classes were audited here, so there was no separate registration or restriction for taking classes. Kite had never experienced this type of academic system, so he didn’t understand it at all.

“You know the playground, right?”

“Yes, an empty lot in town.”

“When you want to play there, who asks permission to play?”

She said that she didn’t know that the academy was like that, and she was so happy that she roughly understood it.

The exam is held twice a year, and it is said that all the cadets in the capital, not Heoden, gather together and compete. I can confirm the level of Menterot and Orgiola that I passed at that time. I am also looking forward to Velaste, who is said to only gather talented people.

“How do you feel, do you think I have become smarter?”

On the day I went to get the clothes, I was speechless when I saw Kite in school uniform.

“Not good?”

I shook my head, naturally blaming myself for not being able to hide my stupidity even with clothes. The design was a little different from what I expected, so I inquired at the clothing company, and they said that it looks less dull when the chest line is fully exposed. Like active clothes, if the bottom is puffy, you don’t want to look at it and even attract attention, so this is the best. It was accepted as correct. Still.

─The button will burst.

Seeing me, I went round and round and boasted, then quit saying I was sick of it, and I think I like the clothes. It’s a problem with the abnormal body shape, so I can’t argue with it. When I ask to have my active clothes repaired again, the proprietress looks puzzled. It’s a familiar reaction, so I’ll give you more money, so I’ll wait.

As I followed old man Ibor, I also improved my worldly life. Some problems can be solved with money.

“Demana!”

“You bought cookies yesterday too.”

“You can buy whatever you want, but you’re nagging again.”

Looking at the school campus with his neck straight out, he complimented me by saying that I look good in my school uniform. I could have bought a new one, but I was sorry that I had to repair it and wear it, so I accepted it in moderation. Clothes that will get dirty anyway. I don’t want to spend a lot of money and dress well.

I glanced at the amused Kite, and her eyes met. She gently smiles at her eyes.

“I like it best when someone takes care of me.”

“Shouldn’t I have been born as a princess?”

“If you get married later, I will hire you as a butler!”

─Kite, don’t do this knowingly.

“Hey, student guardian over there? The clothes are ready, so take them!”

Who is the guardian? Kite teased her, saying, “Come home, guardian.” She handled it neatly. It’s a place where you can do anything if you give money, so I think it’s rather comfortable.

“What should I eat today?”

“Let’s pack. I need to learn some geography here.”

Put it in a basket, walk around for a bit, then settle down in a suitable place to eat.

“It’s like a picnic.”

I think I bought about five. Kite chose a galette, and I bought a deep-fried bread. It was like churros dipped in soy sauce. There was a lake in the center of the academy, and the promenade was well established.

However, there were too many people, so I kept going up north and came across a fairly dense forest. Kite looks scary when he goes to a deserted place. I decided to sit down in a suitable place to hold onto my arm and not go in any further.

“Wait!”

She takes two handkerchiefs from her pocket and lays them down. She embroidered the crest, but she was so clumsy that she suppressed a laugh.

“You got cream on your mouth.”

“Where?”

“It’s lower than there, towards the chin.”

“I don’t know. Can’t you just wipe it off?”

Slightly tilting his head, he leaned towards me. As he held her chin up, their eyes met obliquely. She wiped it with the handkerchief she had just sat on as Kite closed her eyes. Cream smeared the soles of her bear’s paws.

─This is not good.

I have to study here for the next three years. If strange rumors circulate, there is no doubt that they will get into trouble with each other. I calmly organized the words I had been thinking about all night and delivered them. Only the sound of gnawing galettes spread through the forest.

“I will be more careful.”

“We should do that to each other.”

“Hey…… I know it’s a stupid question.”

Is it okay to go out together now? A long breath came out. I guess I’ve been patient Dalgrak, I take out the cookies I bought yesterday from the cookie box. It munches with both hands without saying a word.

“You’ve never lost money by listening to me.”

“I know.”

“Are you the only one eating cookies?”

“I won’t give it to you today. I will eat it all myself.”

Seeing that male and female dormitories are separate, you have to be careful. I’ll start taking lectures tomorrow, but there’s nothing good about being twisted from the beginning. Kite isn’t smart, but she’s not obstinate. She knows that she is incompetent, so she knows how to fully trust and obey.

We got up together when we could no longer hear the sound of scooping cookies. I took a longer way than the way I came in and returned to the dormitory. The semester finally starts tomorrow, so I couldn’t sleep. A lonely night passed without even an unfriendly roommate.
