I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

254.Business Is Not Done With Words (2)

If there’s one thing I forgot,

“Mister! Over there too! Let’s go there too!”

“Mister, what is that?”

Children are as active as the three biggest damn dogs. Enough to be tiring even with the stamina of an adult. To be exact, I was more mentally tired than physically.

“I’m going, so stop urging me.”

How many times has this been the store? It was mentally painful to be looked at with strangely warm gaze wherever I went.

I’m not your father…

They didn’t look much alike to begin with. My skin color is very different, and I don’t even have cat ears.

Ah, I imagined it. I felt sick to my stomach as the image of myself wearing cat ears suddenly appeared in my brain. Couldn’t it be used as a means of eye terror against demons?

I will never do it.

[Contractor, Terry? Did Inha become distant again?]

Ah, I can’t take my eyes off you even for a moment. I immediately grabbed Terry from about ten steps away.

“I told you not to fall.”

“But there was a cat over there!”

“But that doesn’t work. “You were going to the candy store you always wanted to go to.”

“Oh! That’s right!”

Hehe, when I saw him smiling and holding my hand, I felt like scolding him for something. If I blame you here, I feel like I’m acting like a real father.

I feel like I already have a daughter named Millia, but she still tends to take care of herself.

“Mister! “I want to go quickly!”

“Even if you call me oppa.”

“But isn’t he an uncle?”

The legs wrapped around my neck pound my chest. It doesn’t really hurt, but isn’t it hard to keep your balance when you shake your legs like that? I held on to Lulu’s legs as she dexterously rocked back and forth on my neck.

“It’s dangerous, so stay still.”

“I won’t fall!”

“For someone who says that, there’s no one who doesn’t fall.”

“It’s fun~”

“I’m not funny, so I recommend you stay quiet. “If you keep doing this, I won’t go to the candy store and will go right back.”

“Okay.”

I hear laughter around me. I glanced at the older women and saw them looking at me with happy faces. It seemed like the misunderstandings were piling up, but I couldn’t abandon the kids, so I suppressed the sigh rising from my throat and walked towards the candy store.

From the doll shop to the fountain, to the bard playing on the street, and finally to the candy store, where I gave her some sweets and sent them to Sif, the day’s itinerary was over.

It’s a schedule I set for myself, but next time I’ll try to avoid it if possible. I never thought it would be harder to take care of two kids than 300 seminarians.

“Welcome~”

“Hello!”

“Oh, kid, are you here with dad?”

“No, Dad! “You’re an old man!”

“That’s right! “You’re an old man!”

As Lulu and Terry responded, the clerk looked at me with a strange look, then looked away and said.

“I see, then have a good time at the candy store.”

“Yes!”

I do not know. Let’s just take a look. I held Terry’s hand and we looked around the candy store. As a store that specializes in selling candy, the candy store had colorful candies in transparent glass bottles.

“Mister! I have this!”

“Yes.”

Is it cherry flavored candy? I put candy into two glass jars placed next to the entrance. One was for the children and the other was a gift for Karina and other students at Yeomyeong Hall.

As we put in a few candies each, the two glass jars quickly became full.

Let’s go quickly.

As I was about to move to the counter, a thought suddenly occurred to me and I asked Lulu a question.

“Lulu. “What kind of candy does Sif like?”

“Mmm, white candy!”

“That’s all my sister eats.”

White candy…

Are you talking about something made with just hardened sugar?

I stopped there and looked around at the candies. A panorama of colorful candies in glass bottles passed by my eyes.

Well, there won’t be any ordinary hard candy in a place like this.

It would be difficult to find cheap candy in such a luxurious-looking place.

I walked again and headed to the counter. When I handed over a glass bottle of candy, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be the store owner stretched the corners of her mouth and spoke.

“Three gold coins.”

“It’s more expensive than I thought.”

“Because we are the best candy store in here!”

The woman returned a proud answer. I chuckled at that and took out three gold coins from her pocket. To put it bluntly, it’s not a small amount, but to me now, three gold coins were a small amount of money.

“Goodbye!”

“Hehe, I’m going to give candy to my sister too.”

Terry, holding a glass bottle in his arms, smiled brightly. She seemed to be in a good mood after buying a lot of candy.

“Then, should we go back and put some candy in your sister’s mouth while she’s busy working?”

“Yes!”

—————————-

“Sister! Look at this!”

“No, this much candy…”

“My uncle bought it for me!”

“Johan, I’m sorry… I’ll give you money.”

Sif took a gold coin out of her pocket next to her desk and held it out to me. How did she know the price was three? Well, since I’m a Sif obsessed with money, I guess I’ve memorized the prices around me.

I grabbed Sif’s outstretched hand, folded it tightly, and pushed it away.

“Done. “A jar of candy is just a small amount of money to me.”

“Then what… “

“Sister! “You should choose a piece of candy too!”

Terry held out the candy jar to Sif. Sif looked down at the glass jar full of colorful candies for a moment, then shook her head.

“I’m done. You guys eat. But don’t eat a lot. “It’s almost time for dinner, right?”

“What’s for dinner tonight?”

“Well, you’ll find out when you go to the restaurant, right?”

“I wish it was meat!”

“Good meat!”

Is it already time for dinner? I looked at Sif and his younger siblings, who were smiling and stroking their heads. It is a picture of a harmonious family. What was I like in my past life?

Even though I try to recall memories from my past life, which I don’t remember at all, they are blurry, like a fog. Did I even have a family?

I should have asked this in the status window as well.

What is the reason why my memories of my past life are blurry?

“I’m going back.”

“Oh, goodbye!”

“Goodbye uncle~”

“Come again later!”

Did your inner intimacy jump up just because you played for a day? I smiled as I remembered the temperature difference between when we first met a few hours ago and now.

“See you later then.”

“Oh wait, I have to go out to pick you up.”

Sif followed me to the entrance of the upper building with his younger siblings.

“See you in three days!”

“Goodbye~”

I headed to the Dawn Pavilion to be greeted by Sif and his children.

—————–

The way back was peaceful.

Kalon City itself is a place with good security, and there were no big guys who messed with me because of my size. I crossed the main gate of the academy without any hindrance and took the road to Yeomyeonggwan.

It’s not bad to walk alone like this.

When I think about it, I didn’t really have much personal time during this time. When I was at Yeomyeonggwan, if I wasn’t in the room, at least someone was next to me.

[Contractor, what does candy taste like?]

“Sweet. Very.”

A taste you can never eat on a deserted island.

[I want to try it. If only I had a mouth…]

“What a pity. “If you had a mouth, you would have put candy in it.”

[Tsk. Give me just one candy. I want to show off my feelings.]

I opened the bottle cap, took out a candy, and handed it to Lue. Lue placed the candy on her tentacle and began to admire it as if she were looking at a piece of jewelry.

[Humans are amazing. I also made something like this…]

“From a human perspective, you are a more amazing being.”

[Is that so?]

As I walked along chatting with Lue, the gate of the Dawning Pavilion began to appear in the distance. The Yeomyeong Pavilion, draped in scarlet light at the edge of her mansion, boasted a scenery that made you want to take a screenshot.

When I go in, I’ll put down the candy bottle and go wash up first. And-

“Whose~!”

“Milia. “Don’t suddenly hang on to a person’s body.”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“Is there anyone else than you that clings to me like a monkey?”

“A monkey! “That’s harsh!”

Then don’t hang on. I looked at Milia, who took her hand away from my face and went down. Milia was putting her kickboard back on the floor.

“It looks like he went for a walk.”

“Huh! I was bored! Karina asked me to go with her, but she told me to go alone because I had a lot of homework!”

“I see…”

Well, the theology department gave a lot of homework.

“John, what are you holding in your hand?”

“It’s candy.”

I handed the glass bottle filled with candy to Milia. Milia took the jar of candy and looked around, then she looked at me and asked.

“Can I eat it?”

“Eat after dinner. “I also share it with other kids.”

“Okay!”

… Why doesn’t there seem to be much difference in mental age between Sif and her younger siblings?

I entered the Dawn Pavilion with Milia walking side by side, humming her song. Yeomyeonggwan was as quiet as a rat.

What is it?

I opened the door and entered the lobby.

And before I could even open the door, I saw two beauties waiting in the lobby and greeted them warmly…

…Why is the atmosphere like that?

“Karina. Elisha. Is something happening?”

“John…”

“Johnnyim…”

I get goosebumps all over my body. It feels like I’ve been thrown naked into a cold winter, and the chill penetrates my entire body, and I wake up. What on earth? What’s going on?

Gwaik-

The gate closed, and I stared at Karina and Elisa, who were slowly approaching, frozen as if they were statues.

“Huh? Karina, what’s going on?”

It seemed like Millia didn’t know the cause of this situation either.

Eventually, Karina’s answer came out from Milia’s question.

“Milia… It looks like John was walking around the city today with two young children… And Peria told me that he was saying goodbye warmly to a woman in front of a certain building.”

Feria?

Ah, it was the name of the maid who worked here.

“Johannim…Leaving us with another lover…”

“What? Really?”

I didn’t expect to be misunderstood like this.

I sighed as stinging glares poured in from all directions.
