I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

184.It’s Not Time to Toast Yet (Complete)

“What happened to what I said?”

“After asking around, I heard a rumor that it was last discovered in the northern mountains.”

Is it the northern mountain range?

Why are you in such a place?

Still, is it fortunate that we were able to get at least a clue within a week? If I go right now, I think I can make it on time.

“I guess we should get ready to leave.”

“You mean right now?”

“You can hesitate, but if you hesitate, you can’t achieve anything.”

It was especially convenient to move quickly if I wanted to negotiate with that guy. Since we’re meeting a year earlier than the original, we can’t know exactly what the situation is, but if we don’t at least negotiate now, we won’t be able to meet on time.

“Hehe, I’ll catch a carriage heading north.”

“Thank you.”

“But are you going alone?”

“Everyone is too busy to go together.”

It’s not like I’m going to have fun, the kids I’m raising are students so of course I can’t go, and Sif can’t go because she has to handle work on my behalf. In the end, I am the only one who goes.

What can I do? It’s not like you can force it.

I lived alone for 10 years anyway, so I was still more used to acting alone.

“I see… But it won’t be easy to go alone, is that okay?”

“I plan to seek local collaborators there.”

I don’t know if I’ll be leaving a year early, but there was someone I could look for.

If possible, I would like to try recruiting him.

“Then take this.”

I received the card handed over by Principal Merlin. A hand-sized card with sparkles in emerald color.

Are you giving me this?

“Use it when you’re in trouble.” At least the wizard guild in the north won’t shut you down.”

“…Thank you.”

Originally, you had to complete a complicated chain quest to get something like this. I’m luckier than I thought. I put the archmage’s badge in my arms.

“Don’t lose it. “It’s a hassle to get it issued again.”

“We will return it cleanly.”

“I look forward to it. And be careful.”

——————-

“John, where are you going?”

“Going to the north.”

“North?”

At my words, Millia looked north. But all I see is a wall. It was natural since all the windows faced east and west.

“Where in the north?”

“It’s Mont Blanc.”

“Mont Blanc?”

“It’s a snowy mountain area in the north. “They said it was so cold that if you sprinkled water on it, it would immediately freeze.”

“Really? “I want to go… “

Well, since Milia has never been to a snowy mountain before, she might want to stop by at least once. I haven’t seen snow in 10 years, so if I go north, I’ll be able to see a landscape covered in white trash, or rather, pure white snow.

[Contractor, when are you coming? When? Let’s go quickly. I want to see snow~]

After Lue said she wanted to see the world and that she was going to the snowy mountains, she openly showed signs of excitement.

If I said I wouldn’t go, they were going to brainwash me and leave, so I had no choice but to hold on to Lue’s shaking body her with my hands.

“I’ll take you with me when you graduate later.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

After reaching the ending, I was thinking of taking them on a trip around the world.

Once you see the ending, there is no need to be stuck in the framework of the original work. Of course, since what I have to see is the true ending, it’s unclear whether it will end with a completely happy ending, but the world won’t be devastated.

“Then promise! “When you graduate, we’ll take you to the snowy mountains!”

I stared blankly at the hand held out to me. Are you putting your little finger on the line when making a promise?

Or is it because this game is produced in Japan? I chuckled and hooked my little finger around Milia’s tiny finger.

“Okay.”

“Well, me too…”

When did you come?

I looked at Elisa who timidly grabbed my sleeve and tugged. Seeing as his face is turning red and he wants to go too, I guess he is quite interested in snowy mountains. I nodded willingly.

“I get it. I’ll take you too.”

“Thank you…”

“Next time you ask, you can be a little more confident. “It’s not like I’m making a strange request.”

Because of her natural personality, it would be impossible to be as confident and demanding as Millia, but I hope she doesn’t act too timid even towards me now that we’ve become so close to her. If you live timidly in this harsh world, you will only suffer losses.

“John?”

“What are you doing here?”

What. Why are we gathering together? I scratched my head as I looked at the women who happened to be gathered together in the hallway. I think it’s going to be a bit annoying.

“I was talking about going on a snowy mountain trip with Yohan! They said they would take me there after graduation!”

“A snowy mountain?”

Karina opened her eyes wide and looked up at me after hearing Millia’s explanation her her her her. I love the way his golden and pink eyes look at me. After all, it’s better not to wear a veil.

“He said he wanted to see snow. We decided to go together after graduation, not now.”

“Snowy mountain…”

Does Karina want to go too?

By then, your legs will be fine, so you can go without any problems.

“Do you want to go too?”

“Yes?! Uh, ah, um…Yes…”

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to gather all of this together and go on a graduation trip together.”

“Sounds like fun!”

“It’s a graduation trip…It must be cold.”

Since Lennie worked as a mercenary, she must have been there.

I turned my eyes from the hallway filled with anticipation and looked out the window. All I can still see are trees that have turned brown.

I hope that we can participate in the graduation trip without anyone getting hurt by then.

It was a new hope.

There is still only hope.

“So, since you’re going away for a month or two, you want me to take care of the work for you?”

“Yes.”

“What should I do if I get abused? “Or get eaten in droves… “

“No one in their right mind would do something like that.”

A person called the owner of a large merchant would not do something stupid like incur a grudge against the principal of Calon Academy.

I’m leaving in a week, but I still need to finish the story before I go to work. I drank my share of juice, looking at Sif who was sipping it.

Wow.

“Well…I understand. “I’ve already decided to do it, so I’ll try my best.”

“And I told the Bern merchant to find a suitable house for you, so you can live there from now on.”

“What?”

Sif looked up at me with wide eyes at my words. Was he surprised to see his her tail her her standing upright? I added her words to her surprise her.

“You can’t live in a slum forever.”

“Oh, that’s true… But getting a house… Doesn’t mean a pay cut?!”

“It’s the same, don’t worry. Since you became my secretary in the first place, I am providing you with the minimum level of personal security.”

“Oh, is that so?”

To put it bluntly, if Sif gets kidnapped, I’m the one who gets in trouble.

I couldn’t leave Sif, who was now mine, in a dangerous place. Considering the money Sif took from me in the first place, it wouldn’t be surprising if she got kidnapped or robbed at any time.

“Here’s the key.”

I placed the shiny silver key on the table and pushed it. Sif carefully picked up the key and turned it back and forth, staring at it intently.

She looked like a cat that was curious about shiny objects, so I drank juice while watching her as a snack. It’s better because I have something to distract myself from.

“Are you really giving me this?”

“Do I look like someone who would make a joke?”

“No, but still…”

“It’s not as great a house as you thought, so don’t expect too much.”

At least it’s a decent enough house to live in with my younger siblings. It’s roughly around 20 pyeong.

Now that I think about it, my room at Yeomyeonggwan is really big. I think the room itself is about 15 pyeong.

“For your information, the house is a brick house located on the west side of Calon Street, when you turn right from Fred’s jewelry store.”

“Isn’t that a busy area?!”

“Because it’s safer there.”

I spoke to the owner of Bern, so he won’t be kidnapped while I’m away. I added the last thought, recalling Sif’s shabby mud house that I saw in the original, which looked like it was about to collapse.

“When I give you a house as a gift, it means that you work hard. Do you understand?”

“Of course! “I’ll work like a dog!”

I chuckled as I saw Sif wagging her tail like a dog and her eyes sparkling.

“I’ll just leave now and go look around the house with my younger siblings.”

“See you later then!”

It’s so fast. I turned around to see Sif off, who was excitedly running away.

Is the cleaning up of the surroundings now over?

All that remains is to finish preparing to go to the snowy mountain. I headed back to Yeomyeonggwan, remembering the things I needed to pack.

Because I had one last thing to do before I go.
