I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

119.Office Workers Do Not Have Summer Vacation (3)

“What? Black market? “I want to go too!”

“We are not going to have fun. Besides, there would be homework. Did you finish your homework?”

“Uh…”

Karina used to give homework every day, so she must still have homework left. Millia noticed Karina’s reaction to my words and opened her notebook. Is she trying to do it quickly now? I chuckled as I watched Millia working hard with her pen.

It’s cute.

“I’ll do it soon, just wait!”

“If I do it roughly, they’ll scold me?”

“I’m going to do it right!”

No matter how I looked at it, it felt like it was just scribbled, but out of curiosity, I got closer and looked at what was being written, and I saw unfamiliar formulas. No, is this the game you say you don’t remember? Because it was a true liberal arts major, I had already forgotten all about math. Now, I can’t really remember anything except the four basic arithmetic operations.

By the way, Arabic numerals are used here too.

If you think about it, it wasn’t a strange thing. Because this world itself took more than one or two things from reality. It was a place where the metric system was used casually. So it was easier to adapt.

If it had been the imperial pound, I would have gritted my teeth and spread the metric system to this world!

“The black market opens at night, so don’t be in a hurry.”

“Black market…Won’t it be dangerous?”

“Don’t worry too much. “Because I am by your side.”

“Yes, but…”

Karina looked at Milia with her worried eyes. She seems worried that Millia, who runs wild, will cause an accident there. I felt a strange sense of longing from that sight. I must have been worried like that when I was young. I don’t remember very well, though.

No matter how short it is, there will be a gap of more than 10 years, so is it inevitable? Something bitter. As I was pondering over a hazy past that I couldn’t quite remember, Karina’s eyes turned to my face.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Her face her her her she is dark. “Is there any pain anywhere?”

“No, it’s just that I can’t remember the old days.”

“Are you thinking about the old days?”

“I don’t even remember much anymore.”

It’s something I’ve been thinking about for quite some time. It’s strange that I can’t even remember who I was before I was possessed. And strangely enough, the knowledge in the game brings back memories well. What on earth is this?

I couldn’t shake the suspicion that something had intervened in my memory, or perhaps in my head. There are no clues, so it’s just speculation…

“I don’t know why, but I can’t remember the time before Bing, or rather, the drift. When I think about it, I think it’s been like that since I first opened my eyes on a deserted island.”

“Hmm…I guess it’s memory loss?”

“Maybe so.”

“If anything comes to mind, please tell me. “I will help you find John’s past!”

“Thank you.”

“Me too!” “I’ll help you too!”

Milia quietly raised her hand and joined in. Both Karina and I burst into laughter at the puppy-like appearance that asked us to join in instead of just talking to each other.

“Okay, finish your homework first.”

“Alasseo…”

[Ugh, chicken skin is growing…]

What are you again?

————————————–

“It’s a cat!”

“I have a name: Sif!”

“Can I touch your ears?”

“No!”

“Chi.”

There was a war of nerves between me and Milia, who wanted to touch her ears, and Sif, who did not want to be touched. To be precise, it seemed like Sif was on guard alone, so I said to Milia as I held Lue in her arms.

[For a moment! No! Don’t do this!]

“You shouldn’t touch people’s ears carelessly. “So that I can play with Ruena.”

“Really? Yay!”

Millia was overjoyed at my words and hugged Lue. She must have realized that Lue’s resistance was meaningless, so she just quietly held Milia in her arms and let out her melodious sounds.

[I am not a doll to be hugged…]

“Do not tie it with a leash.”

If you do that here, people’s attention will definitely be focused. Since I wanted to move around without attracting attention, making a fuss was not a good choice. It’s not strange that everyone’s eyes are focused on me because I’m walking around with these guys.

“Uh, uh. Ah…”

“Elisa. Relax.”

Maybe it’s because it’s my first time going to the black market? Or are there a lot of people? Elisa was barely holding on to my sleeve and was trembling like a scared puppy. It seemed like if I continued like this, I would go back without even going into her black market her, so I held Elisa’s hand her and made eye contact with her.

“If you put yourself in danger, I will destroy everything, so don’t worry.”

“Me?”

“You too.”

“What, this is too much!”

[Wow, a flirt, a flirt.]

What on earth? I looked at Milia puffing out her cheeks and sighed into her. I’m not the kids’ father, so why am I doing this? Is this really what it feels like when you have a daughter? With a strange feeling of emotion, I watched Sif talking to the guard guarding the entrance to the black market.

“Oh, are you here? What is the password?”

“Today’s price of Euphras is 3 silver coins.”

“Okay. Go in. Don’t get into an accident. “The atmosphere is scary these days.”

At his words her her her, a gold coin sparkled in Sif’s hand her her her. The guard who took the gold coins smiled as if he was in a good mood and gave us the information.

“The leech gang caused a big accident this time. But those kites sneaked into the black market and started a huge war of nerves with the black market bodyguards and security forces. Because of that, the atmosphere is so violent that it would be best not to cause any trouble. And my brother behind me…”

“I plan to go back after doing some business.”

“Everyone says that and then they end up in an accident. And I will get scolded by my elders again and my salary will be reduced. After that, I need to get promoted quickly…”

It was a natural story. How can there be a person who says he will cause an accident and then causes an accident?

“Can I come in quickly? There’s something I want to buy quickly-“

“Okay, okay. Go in. Afterwards, you can enjoy some fun shopping.”

Is it finally a black market? I entered the black market, feeling two hands holding mine tightly. In the game, the black market was a place where rare items were regularly sold. What is it like in reality? Since this was the place where mithril was obtained, there must be some rare items…

There must be the items I want.

“Now, this is the black market. Don’t you ever stay away from John? It’s a place where criminals roam freely, so if you’re not careful, you could end up in trouble!”

“You manage to walk around fine.”

“I have my own know-how.”

“John, look at that! It’s huge! Whose horn is it?”

I turned my head in the direction Millia was pointing and looked at her stall. A simple stall where she just spread out her mat and sat down. However, the items placed on her mat were quite interesting.

“…The horn of the Minotaur.”

“Oh, what? “I’m looking into you, and it looks like you have quite a bit of experience as an explorer.”

“Okay.”

I agreed with the old man with the goatee and looked at the minotaur’s horn, which was as big as my forearm. There were no major scratches, and there was no discoloration on the horn as if it had just been pulled out. You did a great job transferring this.

“How did they move it?”

“There is a way for everything.”

Is it a trade secret? It’s quite an attractive material, but… Should I buy one? It seems like it could be processed properly and used in various places.

“What is the price?”

“It’s 50 gold coins.”

Expensive. I don’t know how much the price is, but it still doesn’t feel bad. Should I put it on hold for now? I’ll have to stop by again when I leave anyway.

“It’s a price that requires some consideration.”

“Hehe, do you know where I can get such high quality items?”

“I will take a look around first and then make a decision. “You have to be smart when shopping.”

“You better come back soon!”

We left Goatbeard behind and started walking down the road. There are still a lot of stalls left to see. I had no intention of wasting money, at least until I got some of the materials I wanted and the items Elisa wanted.

“There aren’t many people today~ Has there been a rare item listed at the auction house?”

These were the words that Sif, who was walking ahead, suddenly said. Since it was our first time at the black market, we couldn’t tell if there were many people or not. Still, Sif wouldn’t just say something empty, so I asked her straight away.

“Are there not enough people?”

“Originally, it wouldn’t be the size of a market, but it would be enough to have one or two people standing at each street stall, right? But today it’s a bit small, right? In cases like this, it was usually because there were no valuable items, or because the gang was in a bad mood, or because a very rare item was released at auction and everyone went from there. “It’s one of three.”

It’s a rare item.

I’m a little interested. It is also quite curious what kind of items are treated as rare items here.

“Sif. “When does the auction usually begin?”

“Well, an hour after the black market opens? It usually opens around that time, so I guess I can take my time and look around.”

“Well, the auction… Seems like there will be a lot of people… But I still want to go once…”

“Johan, can’t we go watch the auction? I think it’ll be fun~”

Millia showed great interest in the word auction and encouraged me. It seemed like curiosity was piqued. It seems like Elisha wants to go too.

Since there is no one who refuses, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to the auction house.

“Then, let’s take our time and look at the stalls before heading to the auction house.”

“Hmm, in that case, there’s a place I need to stop by before going to the auction house.”

When the guide told me about her money, I looked at her.

Sif playfully pretended to throw something on her head, a cat-like smile on her lips.

“I have to hide my identity before I go, right?”
