I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

122.Office Workers Have No Summer Vacation (Complete)

“Good job. “Milia.”

“Hehe…I acted well, right?”

As Millia said that, she hugged her waist and looked up at me as if asking for a compliment. I personally presented a reward to the cute Dullahan’s head and played with the lava crystal stone I had just received.

“Okay. He seemed really childish.”

“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or not!”

“It’s a compliment.”

Ah, it’s hot.

I’m going to get burned like this.

I took out a leather bag and put a lava crystal in it. It was not something that could be carried with bare hands, so it was natural. After attaching the pocket to my clothes with skill so as not to lose it, I left the auction house with my companions staring at me. There’s probably a grimoire auction going on at the auction house right now, but it’s none of my business.

The moment I heard the name Noam’s Grimoire, I was able to pretend to participate moderately and then leave without hesitation.

Who would use such surplus items?

If you hold it, it is at a similar level to the production skill with a slightly longer range. Even so, the standard was when you could understand and use all the grimoires, so in the game, it was just a grimoire that was used briefly at the beginning and then discarded.

Besides, I have Rue. You can’t make a contract with two grimoires at the same time, so even if you get them, it’s a pie in the sky. It was advantageous to leave the auction house without looking back because it saved time.

“Elisa. “What do you need to buy?”

“Uh, that’s…A little bit of the cursed item…”

“Is it for research?”

“Ah, yes, yes… “

It’s a cursed object… Is this a Haeju Department project? I didn’t know if I was brave or naive to go to the black market to get something like that myself.

You probably don’t know what it means to step into a lawless area alone.

As I was walking along the road, I reached a deserted place and spoke to Millia and Sif.

“Could you please stay away for a little while? “I personally have something to tell Elisha.”

“Huh? Personal story?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll be watching over there with Sif! Have a good conversation!”

“Huh? Me too?”

Millia immediately agreed to what I said and walked to a nearby street vendor with Sif. The distance isn’t that far, so it’ll be okay. After making sure the two were far enough away, I spoke to Elisa, who was looking at me.

“Elisa. I understand that you came to rescue a cursed object. But didn’t you know that the black market was a dangerous place?”

“Oh, I knew… “

“What were you going to do if I didn’t come with you?”

“Uh…Alone…”

[You are a helpless girl.]

“Is it necessary to do that? “It’s a cursed item. I guess I can ask Professor Lennon for it.”

It is unknown how Professor Lennon rescues the cursed object, but he must have been doing so all along. But now why is he trying to save the cursed object alone? In response to my question, Elisa quietly looked down at the floor and stuttered to come up with an answer little by little.

“Ka-Karina-sama, I want to be of help to you too… And… Now… Uh, forever, professor, your ankles…”

Was it the intention to study Karina’s curse? I don’t know what it was like, but she seemed to be a cannibal who did research using cursed objects.

“No matter what, it’s not a black market. It’s not a good thing to carelessly enter and exit a place where you could be exposed.”

Regardless of the fact that Elisa is an excellent magician, there is no way that this young lady with MAX Assassin’s power can make a proper deal on her own. You need a password to enter the black market in the first place, so how do you get in?

“Did you know where the black market was?”

“Uh…No…”

“How to enter the black market?”

“Well, that too…”

This is such a shame that there is no solution. I looked at the foolish purple witch and sighed. It’s a shame I brought him this time, otherwise what would have happened. I said, lightly squeezing the top of Elisa’s head.

“If you want to do something like that, consult with me first.”

“B-But, you’re busy, so I… “

“Even if you’re busy, it doesn’t mean you can’t make time for yourself.”

Anyway, I’ll have to stop by the black market every now and then to pick up materials that are hard to find like lava crystals but that no one recognizes.

“Thank you… Well, then everyone, then everyone, just the two of us…”

“What?”

If you do something, your voice will shrink like a mosquito, so it’s not easy to understand.

“Well, that’s…Ah, it’s nothing!”

What is this trivial? I sighed when I saw Elisa lowering her head as she watched me while wriggling her fingers. It’s been over a month since we found out, but I never thought conversation would still be this difficult.

“…We’ll talk about this later. “I have a lot of work to do, so I’ll go join the group soon.”

“… Yes…”

As we both stood side by side and started walking, my sleeve was tugged. Because Elisha grabbed my sleeve. Feeling like a parent taking her children out to play, I joined Milia, who was taking Elisa with her to look at the street stalls.

“Iboshu, if you’re not going to buy it, just go for it.”

“Poor smell…”

Everyone except me held their noses. I sniffed my nose and smelled the smell coming from a store inside the black market.

Hmm, this is the smell.

“I came here after hearing that they were selling that product…”

“I don’t know anything about that stuff, so wouldn’t it be better to stop messing around and go somewhere else?”

Write. You must be bothering me. I clicked my tongue as I looked at the bald head hitting the iron wall. It seemed like he had no intention of letting me know easily.

“Why don’t you make a clean deal instead of getting into an annoying fight?”

“Hmm…”

The bald man looked at me from head to toe for a long time, then suddenly asked a question.

“How much do you have?”

“300 gold coins. “I wish it was a 1:1 ratio.”

“I can’t afford that much.”

“John John, what are you buying?”

“It is an ingredient of gunpowder.”

“Gunpowder?”

“I heard there’s a lot of money.”

“Fire, gunpowder… Uh, that’s a banned item… Oh, isn’t it… ?”

“As long as you don’t get caught.”

To be exact, the manufacturing method is prohibited, but the ratio used in the last crack was ambiguous, so the effect was less effective than expected. It was something that could not be helped since it was put together so roughly. The reason I came to the black market today was to purchase ingredients in bulk and conduct an experiment to adjust the composition cost.

“If you’re going to stop talking and live, give me money first.”

“Okay.”

I ignored the store owner’s blunt words and placed the money bag on the counter. The bald head turned over the money bag I placed on it, checked the gold coins, and started counting them one by one and putting them into the pocket.

The task of counting gold coins was completed after almost three minutes. Since the currency here ends in coins, it is almost an unavoidable procedure. I asked, watching the bald man with a greedy face get up from the counter, packing his pockets.

“How long will it take to get everything?”

“It only takes 5 minutes, so wait.”

True to his word his his his, at about five minutes, two large leather bags appeared on the counter. The amount itself could not be considered that large, but since obtaining gunpowder materials legally was cumbersome and troublesome, it was worth bearing.

Since it was a fantasy world, I thought it would be easy to purchase gunpowder and other materials, but it was expensive because it was a strategic resource. As a result, it is impossible for the general public to even dream of purchasing gunpowder officially. If you are unlucky, you may be labeled as a subversive molecule.

“Now, here’s the reason for saltpeter and sulfur.”

It’s pretty heavy. I put the bundle of presents on my back like Santa Claus and left the store with the kids. I saved the cursed item and achieved all my goals, so now all I have to do is return.

“Go back.”

We quietly escaped the black market.

————————

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

“Ugh, I’d rather have a gold coin than show off.”

“It’s hot.”

“Thank you~ See you in two days!”

3 gold coins. It was a reward to Sif for her hard work guiding us today. It’s quite expensive for a pure guide, but so what? If you go to dungeons, you’ll only make so much money that you’ll get sick of it. I thought as I watched Sif disappearing beyond that passage.

“I’m sleepy…”

“Milia. Just be patient.”

Don’t look at me secretly and expect it. Elisa’s face is pale from fatigue, but she’s holding up well…

“Elisa. Are you okay?”

“Well, I can hold on…”

It is not persuasive to answer while shaking your legs like a newborn lamb. I had no choice but to put them on the cart I had prepared in advance. As soon as the two got on the cart, they immediately started nodding their heads. Perhaps because it had been a while since they had gone to bed, the two seemed extremely defenseless.

“It’s not good to be too loose. Both.”

“It’s going to be okay because I have John, right?”

“Oh, that’s right…”

“I am not your father.”

“I like my brother better than my father…”

“Well, me too…”

What are you talking about?

“Go to your room and talk in your sleep.”

[It’s an iron wall. Really.]

I ignored the two people’s nonsense and pulled the cart myself and headed to Yeomyeonggwan.
