I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

223.Prepare Thoroughly

“John, how about me?”

“It suits you well.”

I looked at Milia, who was spinning in front of me and laughing. Milia seemed to like my answer, so she walked around in front of the mirror and looked at her clothes.

“Yo, I’m Johanni… “

“What’s going on?”

“Well, I wore it too…”

…I’ve thought about it before, but it seems like I strangely feel a sense of rivalry with Millia.

I don’t know why I feel that way.

Anyway, I looked down at Elisa, who was awkwardly walking around in front of me.

Although my eyes inevitably focused on a certain area, I immediately took my eyes off and praised Elisa.

“It suits me well.”

“Thank you…”

“After all, the clothes are wings. Elisa, I always told you to dress up a bit, right? It’s so pretty when you decorate it.”

“Rain and viola are also pretty.”

“No, I’m not that pretty…”

“Elisa is right. “It’s pretty.”

“…Uncle, is it really dangerous? Already… No. “I’m sure you’ll take care of it… “

What are you talking about? I stared at the back of Viola’s head as she let out an unknown sound and walked somewhere. I have no idea what it means.

As I had a question piling up in my head, I heard a beautiful voice.

“Johan, did you do something to Viola?”

“No. “I didn’t do anything in particular.”

“Is that so…”

Carina looked at Viola, who was looking at different clothes with her arms crossed in front of me. It wasn’t a worried look… It was a slightly unfamiliar look. It doesn’t seem like there is any malice, but the eyes are a little uneasy?

I deliberately cleared my throat and called out to Karina to divert her attention.

“Hmm, Karina. What about those clothes?”

“It feels amazing to wear clothes like this after wearing only priestly clothes most of my life.”

…The line is no joke. As she boasted the most mature line at this party, the clothes made with her body in mind gave off curves that would make 10 out of 10 people turn.

“Karina. If possible, wear her outer clothes on top of her.”

“Yes?”

“It must be so.”

“That’s right. Karina.”

“Yes?”

When did you come?

Lennie was standing next to me nodding her head. Did you come because you heard Karina’s name? It must have been this guy’s turn. I slowly lowered my head and looked at Leni, who had a completely different fashion than usual.

“Don’t look at me like that. Is it gross?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Sister Lenny.”

“Don’t call me sister! “It’s creepy!”

“Sister…?”

But the reaction is fun.

To Karina, who looked puzzled, Lennie immediately started explaining in an excited voice.

“Is this guy old? “I’m 19. I’m 19!”

“19… Years old?”

Karina looked at me with her bewildered lower face. Her face was too cute, but should I explain it now anyway? Actually, the fact that I was 19 wasn’t something to explain.

It’s just a bit surprising.

“Are you… The same age as me?”

“Yes.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not joking.”

Karina’s head twisted like a broken robot and she turned to face Leni. Lenny sighed and shrugged her shoulders and asked me straight away.

“It’s not a lie, right?”

“I’m exactly 19 years old. I’ll be turning 20 soon.”

“…I thought I was five or six years older than I could be.”

Karina’s honest confession was somewhat sad. In other words, it means presbyopia. Of course, it was an inevitable problem that my face was distorted and covered with scars, making me look much older than my age.

“I didn’t mean to deceive you. Actually, my age doesn’t mean much.”

“That’s right. It’s a bit surprising that he has that level of ability at that age… But when I think about that deserted island, it’s somewhat understandable.”

“Still, it feels weird to think I was 19.”

“Is it that strange?”

“It was like hearing that my uncle found out that we were the same age.”

“…Something makes me cry.”

“Huh? What is everyone talking about? “Hold me too!”

“I was talking about John being 19 years old.”

In response to Leni’s answer to her, Millia looked up at me as if asking if it was true. Why is everyone reacting like this? A person could be 19 years old. This is appearance discrimination.

“Really? Is John that young? “Call him sister!”

Why do you like him so much? I stared at Milia, who strangely wanted to be called older sister.

“Is there a reason I should call it that?”

“I’m the oldest here.”

This is the first time I’ve seen a woman brag about how old she is. I chuckled, looking at the older kid. I can’t believe you call a girl who looks like a child no matter what she does.

“You have a big dream. Sister Milia.”

“Did you hear about Karina?”

“…I just got goosebumps.”

“Me too.”

“…Let’s stop talking about this.”

“Huh, why? I like it~”

“I’m sad so stop.”

“Tooth. Okay.”

Millia looked regretful and took my hand. She acted as if she was asking him to at least hold her hand instead of her. I roughly stroked her head to get her pouty face to ease, and then walked towards Madame Matilda who was approaching us.

“Oh my, what are you talking about?”

“We were just chatting.”

“Hoho, I see. That’s the time. “It’s better to enjoy it when you can.”

What does it mean?

“I want to calculate.”

Sif, who has the last turn, has also appeared, so now we have to go somewhere else.

“A total of 30 gold coins.”

“It’s here.”

I took out 30 gold coins straight from my purse and placed them on the counter. Madame Matilda looked down at the gold coins as if she liked them, then she smiled and said to us.

“I hope you come back next time.”

————-

“John, is this enough?”

“I think that’s enough.”

Are you done with shopping now? I took a quick look at the children following me, each carrying their own clothes, shopping bags, camping gear, and household items, and decided on a restaurant.

It wasn’t a bad thing to have dinner while we were out.

There was also the purpose of taking Karina out to eat, as it was difficult for her to go out.

“I will have dinner at the Blue Horizon Restaurant.”

“Well, isn’t that a really expensive place?!”

“I heard that it costs 3 gold coins per person…”

“Hey, isn’t it bleeding too much?”

Leni asked me in a worried voice. It seemed like he was concerned that I would have to pay all the costs.

“Don’t worry about money. “I could build another Yeomyeong Hall with the money I have.”

No, I think we can build ten more.

As long as I have the ingredients, I can make it.

“Still, you are putting too much pressure on yourself. “I’ll pay for the restaurant, too.”

“Done. “It’s a hassle to calculate, so leave it in.”

“I have money too.”

“Karina. There is no need to feel too burdened. Just think of it as a gift.”

“Gift… “

Perhaps it was because of the resonance of the word gift, but Karina nodded with a strange expression.

“I have lived and lived in places like this…”

Listening to Viola’s voice, we entered the restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, people’s eyes were focused on us.

What, why, what.

Are you dissatisfied?

When I rolled my eyes once, people all looked the other way and avoided eye contact. If you miss me, don’t act like a fear.

“Welcome. Sir Quartz.”

“Can I leave my luggage?”

“Of course.”

An old gentleman dressed neatly clapped his hands, and three waiters came out and carefully collected the luggage in my group’s hands and took it somewhere. Once my hands feel lighter, let’s go to our seats.

“I will go to the reserved seat.”

“I’ll guide you right away.”

“Don’t look around too much and follow me.”

People might look at you funny if you show that it is your first time here. I glanced at the guests on the first floor, half as a threat, then took the stairs and went up to the second floor.

The second floor was a terrace with an impressive luxurious awning, and was popular for its view of the city while sitting at a table.

“It’s over there.”

“I will call the waiter and order in a moment.”

“I understand.”

The manager left, and we sat down comfortably. Karina and Milia were sitting on either side of me, as usual. This is what it would look like if I were told to sit freely.

“This is my first time in a high-end restaurant like this.”

“If she were a saint, she would have been invited to dinner parties often.”

“I’ve been treated well by the imperial family, but this is my first time eating with close friends at a restaurant with so many people gathered around.”

Karina’s eyes were moist, as if she was moved by this first-time experience. Milia is sitting next to me and looking around curiously, looking around like a curious puppy.

… Now that I think about it, I need to make something to cover Milia’s neck again before I go.

It’s a bit of an awkward size to withstand extreme activities.

“Lou, Louis, you can see the academy from here!”

“Shuri, I understand, calm down.”

“I wonder how many ingredients I can buy with the price of today’s meal…”

“Uh, wouldn’t it be possible to buy a lot… ?” ?”

“Everyone pay attention.”

Everyone looked at me when I said that.

“Does anyone here have allergies?”

“Uh, it’s hard for me to eat anything that has garlic or onions in it!”

“I get it. Who else?”

“I’m fine.”

“Me too…”

Looking at everyone’s answers one after another, it seems like there’s nothing wrong with it. I immediately called the waiter and ordered food. After the waiter turned his back and left, I quietly called everyone.

“Pay attention again.”

The kids who were chatting looked at me right away at my words.

Hmm. Good.

“The reason I brought you to this restaurant is to remind you that the dungeon we must go to is not an easy place.”

Dungeons are full of unexpected dangers.

If you went into the exploration with a half-hearted attitude, you could end up getting not only yourself but also your colleagues involved, so even if it was something you already knew, you had to emphasize it over and over again.

“The dungeon is a place no one can predict. No matter how thoroughly you research, unexpected variables may pop up, so everyone should never let down their guard before exploring this dungeon. Did you understand?”

“Yes!”

“Four!”

Everyone’s voices overlapped as one. I spat out the last word with a satisfied face.

“I hope this won’t be my last memory.”
