chapter 167
167.Is What You Are Doing Now a Funeral? (One)
“And!” Senior! Hello!”
“Hi… “
Abril, with a tired look on her face, smiled weakly and waved her hand at Milia’s cheerful greeting her.
Did I act too harshly?
In order to get them to learn things quickly, I worked like crazy, and the kids didn’t show any interest. Jericho, who was especially focused, was painstakingly cutting her steak with an almost soulless expression.
“John, is that guy a corpse? ?”
“No. “I’m just tired.”
Okay. I’m just tired. Maesssss. To be exact, it seems like the alcoholic is suffering from withdrawal symptoms because he can’t drink, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?
Jobs are created and alcoholism is cured.
Isn’t this a perfect workplace that makes you wonder if he saved the country in his past life? As time goes by and your alcohol addiction is resolved, your appearance will become more like a person.
They even used magic to place a ban on him, so he couldn’t even speak, so his recovery was certain.
“Milia. Don’t get addicted to alcohol. That’s what happens when you drink too much.”
“Huh! “I will never drink it!”
“Okay. Well done.”
“Well, me too…”
Okay, okay. I placed both hands on the heads of Milia and Elisa, who nodded in agreement, and stroked them.
“They are using people as teaching materials…”
“If you have any energy left to talk, go ahead and eat. “I have to go to work right away.”
“There’s still work left… ” ?”
This was absolutely delicious. I clicked my tongue and looked at Karina who was sitting at the end of the table. Carina took off her veil and was cutting her steak into small pieces and stuffing it into her mouth.
The sight of a piece of steak being put into that small mouth was elegant, but it also looked sensual.
When I bent down slightly to put a steak in my mouth, the presence of a lump of fat pressing against the table was scary. It was almost an inevitable fate for a man to look there.
There is no need to glare so viciously.
I had no choice but to look away from Lennie’s harsh gaze of her. What my eyes turned to were the four slaves, or rather employees, who had become new family members.
The employees were so overworked that they were stuffing food into their mouths instead of looking at Karina.
As proof, even though she was a seminarian, she did not shed tears of emotion when she saw Karina, sit down and offer her prayers, or collapse while clutching her heart.
…Now that I think about it, if they weren’t seminary students, they would have died a long time ago.
“John, are you listening to me?”
“Sorry. “What did you say?”
“It’s a festival soon, so you’re escorting the festival day without taking a single break? “Don’t you have time?”
“…It seems difficult.”
“It’s a shame…”
“It’s a shame…”
Why are you sighing on both sides? I was lost in thought, comforting the two people who were clearly disappointed.
Feast of Saint Sabrina.
It is a festival for the entire city of Calon that takes place every year, and at the same time, it is the place where the saint performs her first external affairs as a saint. As such, Karina had to attend many events and there was a lot of work to be done.
From giving a speech congratulating the Feast of Saint Sabrina in the square, going to various event venues and reciting congratulatory messages, giving a passing necklace or even a winner’s medal to the winner of a martial arts competition, etc.
Since we had to move around a lot during the festival, Leni and I had to stay by Karina’s side throughout the event.
It was obvious that the Harpas Church would secretly infiltrate and carry out a scheme. Since an assassination attempt was made during a festival in the original work, it was obvious that they would try to do the same this time.
The security guard also participates in the escort, but I can’t just trust the security guard, and if I go as I think, the security will be breached at all costs. Even in the original work, they were the ones who were constantly being drilled and heard talking about their monthly salary.
My trust in the security guard was infinitely close to 0.
“Don’t be too disappointed. We can all go see the night market together.”
Because I have no schedule at night.
“Really?”
“Since the schedule ends in the evening, we will all be able to see the night market and fireworks together.”
Karina’s voice was more excited than usual. Although it was a busy and difficult festival, they seemed to be looking forward to seeing the night market and fireworks. So, I should work hard too.
“Then I will go to the studio. “Because we are nearing the end of completing the product we are developing.”
“Oh, that?”
Lenny, who had seen the items she was making before, responded to my words. Perhaps because I was going to make one for him, Lennie’s face showed anticipation.
“If you make it, you give it to me first, right?”
“Yes.”
“Huh? What? “John, me?”
“It’s combat equipment, so I don’t think I should give it to you. It will be difficult to use properly because it is heavy.”
“Chi…Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Millia stepped back with a disappointed look on her face. It’s nothing else, it’s an item used in battle, so it’s only natural. As she looked at that, she smiled like a child who had not received a gift.
“Then I will go.”
“Huh! Come back!”
“See you later.”
“There is no surveillance… ?”
“I’ll tell you in advance that if you get caught doing something else, it won’t be good for you.”
“This is hell…”
I glanced at Jericho, who looked at Haggard, and stood up. Now it was time to get out.
I have to go quickly and finish it.
——————–
The weight is appropriate.
This should be enough to withstand it unless it is an auror or a weapon made of mithril.
I finally walked around and inspected the completed new equipment. Although it was roughly completed, it was not a perfect product, so we had to carefully check whether there were any flaws or mistakes in the design.
I don’t think I made any mistakes while making it… I’ll know for sure when I use it.
I put the newly designed equipment on my hands.
The band that protects my hands from my wrists to my wrists fits my hands perfectly. It’s natural because it was made assuming my size from the beginning.
“The fit is not bad.”
After testing various types of leather, I chose shadow leopard leather as the base material, and it was comfortable to wear as it still had the same soft feel as when I first touched it. The leather was flexible, so there was no uncomfortable feeling even when I folded my wrist.
Now, let’s test the function.
I opened the studio door, came out, and stood about 15 meters away from the scarecrow that I had previously brought to the front yard. It was the maximum range I expected when designing the equipment.
“I hope it works properly.”
Extend your arms forward.
Then turn your hand over, face the palm toward the sky, and press the switch at the bottom of your palm. Then…
“…I missed it.”
I pressed the button on my wrist and retrieved the flying hook. The harpoon connected to the wire shrunk like a tape measure being rolled up, and quickly settled into the launcher attached to the bottom of my wrist.
Once again.
I missed it again this time. Is it because I haven’t gotten used to it yet?
Once again.
Even though I fired it as horizontally as possible, it narrowly missed.
Lack of strength? Or tension? Or…Center of gravity?
One last time. This time, I intentionally shortened the distance. The hook was inserted precisely into the heart of the scarecrow from 10 meters away.
Is it possible to plant as much as I want up to about 10 meters?
Still, in order to get accurate data, you can try increasing the distance little by little.
As a result, the effective range of the device attached to the sub-pod was about 12 meters.
If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s ambiguous, it’s an ambiguous distance.
Now it was time to dismantle it again and analyze what the problem was.
“Yo~han!”
“What’s going on? “Milia.”
“I came to see because I had nothing else to do!”
I came here to play because I was bored. I chuckled as I watched Milia open the studio door and enter.
She seemed to be sitting in her assigned seat, as always, and reading the book she had carried by her side. I pushed aside the scarecrow with a hole in it and entered the studio.
As expected, Milia was half-reclining on the soft sofa I made for her, reading a book.
“Milia. “Her skirt she was disheveled.”
“Wow~ Yohan is so cool~”
With a soulless voice, Millia adjusted her clothes. It wasn’t because he was embarrassed, but rather because he didn’t want to hear my nagging bombshell. Milia put her bookmark on the book she was reading and looked at me.
“John, did you feel anything?”
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Jeongmaal?”
Why is he so persistent? Milia didn’t seem to like my answer, puffing out her cheeks and turning her head. Anyone who saw it had a sullen expression.
“You don’t even know how I feel… “
“I see.”
“The answer is half-hearted…”
“Okay, okay.”
“Seo, you sure aren’t a eunuch…?”
What?
She looked at Millia in surprise, and saw Millia looking at me with an expression of disbelief. Don’t look down. Because it’s not really like that.
I’m standing too.
After.
“…How do you come to that conclusion?”
How did I end up being called a eunuch? The unexpected surprise attack left me weak and my shoulders slumped. Anyway, I’m a bit of a eunuch.
“B-But, Lord, there are so many women around, but there is no response…”
“It’s about keeping the line.”
If I date someone here, my life will be extremely tiring until the end. If you are unlucky, it might be a big obstacle to seeing the ending.
That’s so scary.
Not being able to see the ending lost to unexpected variables.
Since I had to live with Karina for three years anyway, I didn’t have time even if we were dating.
If I were to date, I would have to stick with Karina the longest, but I don’t think many people would understand that.
“You don’t have to protect me…”
“Don’t say anything strange and just read a book. “I have to put this thing back together.”
“Tooth. But you don’t hate me, do you?”
“Yes.”
Why is he like this? I looked down at Milia, who was sitting on my lap and starting to read. Milia naturally opened the book in the same position she was in my arms and began to read.
…Oh, I don’t know.
I put on the work gloves I had left in the corner of the workbench.
