I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

141.Storm’s Transfer Student (5)

“Huh? What’s going on?”

I caught Sif, who was moving the cart into the tunnel under the studio, and told her what she needed to buy urgently. Sif looked at me with puzzled eyes at the ingredients I mentioned.

“What’s going on? “You order all that?”

“Because I have something to use it for.” Buy it as soon as possible. It’s okay to use the black market-“

I handed the money bag I had prepared in advance to the cat girl who revealed the money. When I handed her a bag of gold coins, Sif opened the bag with a surprised face.

“How much is this…”

“This is a very important matter, so your responsibility is great. Did you understand?”

“No no no no no no… You’re giving me this much money? “What if I embezzle?”

I can’t come to my senses because the guy who told me about money gave me a lot of money.

“It’s something the saint would use.” “You know what I mean, right?”

At that one word, Sif nodded her head vigorously. There would be no one who would steal money related to a saint. As I said, it’s not like I don’t know where his younger siblings live.

“Okay. Okay. “I was just joking.”

Since this was something Karina would use, she had to use the highest quality materials. If I use bad material and something goes wrong with Karina’s face, I might get a harsh glare from Leni, or even a harsh glare.

I don’t have a lot of money, but I plan to officially sell my prosthetic hand soon, so I should have enough capital soon. So I had no intention of saving money. I guess I’ll have to write a lot while I’m at it.

“…Ah. Then it’s worth it. I thought I had suddenly fallen in love with fashion.”

“I just need to know. “How long does it take?”

“Uh…If we go to the black market right now, in the morning at the earliest?”

That’s not bad at all. If it was too late, I was planning to go together and get it quickly.

“Go right away.”

“What is the compensation?”

“5 gold coins.”

“Oh, it’s pretty strong, isn’t it? But I’ve never bought expensive materials like that, so I might not be able to choose the right one? “Can’t I reduce my pay just because I bought something a little bad?”

“Okay, so let’s do our best to save it. “Let’s get as much as possible.”

“Just leave it to me-“

Sif immediately started running away, pulling the cart. He was at the same speed as when he came in. I took a quick look at the luggage that Sif had piled up on one side, and started moving them one by one into the workroom.

———————-

“Hmm, aren’t you going together today?”

“Because I have work to do.”

“Hmph. I wanted to go with you…”

Milia looked up at me with a lingering look in her eyes, as if she was disappointed that I was taking the day off today. Elisa next to her also looked disappointed, but neither of them grabbed me. Because you both know why I’m not escorting you today.

“Well then, good luck…”

“John. “I’ll be back.”

“I’ll see you in the evening.”

After Karina’s weak greeting, the three people, including Leni, disappeared beyond the main gate of Yeomyeonggwan. I looked at the closed door for a moment, then turned and headed toward the studio. Sif arrived at the studio first and was piling up various fabrics and silks in the corner of the studio.

“Huh? Are you here?”

“Okay. Hmm… “

To be honest, I’ve never handled anything like silk, so I’ll have to go through trial and error, but I’ve tried sewing with clothes I picked up on a desert island. At best, it was just a matter of tearing a little bit of fabric and patching the clothes.

Still, experience is experience.

“I guess this is enough.”

I took out 5 gold coins from Sif’s small pocket and placed them on her small hand.

“A gold coin is a gold coin~”

As if to check whether the gold coin was genuine, Sif picked up a gold coin and held it up to the sunlight shining through the bars. The gold coin in Sif’s hand her sparkled, scattering golden light.

“I heard that gold coins are pretty.”

“I see.”

“This is why the rich…”

Why are you staring? I lowered my hand, contemplating whether to slam my fist into the top of Sif’s head. It’s impossible to hit him every time he says something like that. If that were the case, a V-line would have formed on Sif’s head by now.

“Did you think something strange just now?”

“I’ve never done that.”

“I just got a chill down my spine…”

“It must be an illusion.”

“Yeah, right?”

Sif, who knew full well that an employee could not ask questions to his employer, made an effort to agree with what I said. I glanced at her for a moment and then got to work sorting her clothes.

Remove fabric that is scratched or looks problematic, and check the texture by touching the edge of the fabric. It wasn’t that difficult of a task, but because there were so many different types of work, it took over an hour to complete.

After finishing sorting everything, I didn’t go back for some reason and spoke to Sif, who was watching my work

“Why do you stay?”

“Hmm, I thought there would be more money to be made?”

Where did I smell money? Sif pointed to the fabric as if to answer my questioning gaze.

“I know how to sew. How do you feel?”

“Hmm…”

“Even though you look like this, you once made a living by doing sewing. I’ve been using it for about 3 years, so it’s better than nothing, right? And Yohan doesn’t really care about design.”

“It’s bitter.”

“I don’t think anything I’ve made so far has put emphasis on design-“

“Simple is best. Don’t you know?”

“What country is that?”

Don’t you understand? I don’t know if the English isn’t translated, or if there’s another problem, but Sif didn’t seem to understand. But did I use any foreign words? It didn’t seem a bad idea to try an experiment later if I had the chance.

Because it was important to understand the characteristics and skills in my status window.

We’ll have to put it aside for now though.

“It’s okay if you don’t know.”

“It’s bland… After all, it’s a women’s accessory, so wouldn’t a woman need it?”

Sif quietly approached me and looked up at me with sparkling eyes. It was the look in her eyes when she found something to make money from.

As he looked up at me and glanced at the bag of gold coins that were placed on the table, it seemed like he was quite hungry for some extra income.

Originally, I was going to ask Ashley… But I guess I’ll just hire her

I’m curious about her 3-year-old sewing skills, and it would be nice to have advice from a woman like Karina, as it would be an uproar if she made things for Karina with ugly designs. Because what Sif said was valid, I decided to give her the extra pay without hesitation.

“I get it. “I will pay you additional compensation to help you make the veil.”

“Hehe, just trust me!”

Sif’s tail she was wagging, so happy she was getting extra money.

———————–

Veil.

“John, how much more do you want to make?”

“Until something good comes out.”

First of all, I’ve never made a veil before, so it took a lot of trial and error.

What color is good, what length is good, how comfortable is it to wear, what kind of fabric should I use to avoid discomfort in seeing the front, what should I do with the design…

There were more than one problem, so I constantly put a veil on Sif’s head and checked them one by one. First, pile the things you think are okay on the left, and pile the things you don’t think are good on the other side.

We have been doing that simple task for 4 hours.

“Is this okay? I don’t think it would be a bad idea if the stitching was a little tighter.”

“Put it on the left.”

“Isn’t this, um… Kind of like that? It feels like an envelope that is placed on a death row inmate before hanging, rather than a veil. “This is a veil, right?”

“Right.”

“This material is a bit rough-“

“Right.”

“Uh…I think the executioner could wear this over?”

“Right.”

Even while sorting, my hands do not rest. Because I had to constantly make veils and have them reviewed by Sif. After lunch, some maids were also scheduled to help with the work.

“John, why don’t we eat sometime?”

Is it that time already? For the first time in hours, I turned my head and looked out the window. It looked like it was just around noon, as the sunlight wasn’t shining. I quietly placed the veil I had been working on the workbench and stretched.

Sif quickly raked up all the scraps and stuffed the unusable ones into the incinerator she had previously built. After repeating the process a few times, the messy studio became a little neater.

“Finally, it’s rice~”

“You must have been quite hungry.”

“Of course. “I just made breakfast with the bread left over from yesterday.”

“With the money I’ve saved so far, I could just buy a decent breakfast and come home-“

“They say once you spend too much, it’s hard to get it back.”

Words that were hard to believe came out of Sif’s mouth, revealing money like that.

“I see.”

“I don’t know how long I can continue doing this… I need to save a lot of money to achieve my desired goal.”

“Goal?”

This is my first time hearing this story.

“Hmm, if you want to know, how about an extra gold coin?”

“It’s done.”

“Tch.”

Sif looked really disappointed, but I didn’t have any intention of asking her. For some reason, I had a feeling that if I let it go, there would be no turning back.

There are a lot of problems piled up right now, and I don’t want to add one more to them.

“…Today’s lunch is chicken steak.”

“Oh.”

I somewhat forcedly changed the subject and opened the studio door. Sif followed behind me, humming as if nothing had happened.

After eating, I come back and start working again.

I closed the studio door.
