390 – An Eye for an Eye (3)

The fine was not paid by me, but by the Academy, i.E. Godin.

However, it is said that the academy may impose disciplinary action, but it is highly likely that it will be roughly reduced to community service.

First of all, they not only made insulting remarks to me, including really harsh curses, but there was no problem from Tatar’s perspective.

Hasn’t it been said since ancient times that when you go to Rome, have you to follow Roman law? According to the Tatar law code, there is no problem and it is passed over.

“The fine is 5,000 silver coins.”

“Huh? Is this illegal dumping of trash?”

In particular, I ended up having to do community service because of the fines for illegal trash dumping.

The amount was so large that Godin’s eyes widened for a moment as he brought money to pay the fine.

It was natural to protest why simple trash dumping was so expensive. I also have doubts about this.

The guard commander looked through the newly compiled law code and explained it to Godin who asked why.

“General trash costs a verbal warning the first time, and 700 silver coins for the third time. But body parts cost twice as much.”

“Is there such a law?”

“Your Majesty said, ‘Since our people are fighting for no reason, shouldn’t we use money to stop them?'”

“··· ···”

“It’s a shame if it was a tongue, if it was a limb, I would have had to pay a fine of 10,000 units.”

The person who compiled the law code was Hector. In other words, it means that Hector established that law.

I couldn’t help but be truly amazed. The Tatar people fight, but as they are a trading people, they are very interested in money.

Therefore, it contains the meaning that only after fighting once and paying a huge fine, you should move on quietly.

Because there is nothing scarier in the world than money. Hector knows his people very well.

‘Is he a genius?’

It seems he didn’t become the king of Tatar for nothing. My head he worked exceptionally well.

For some reason, even though the locals argue, they don’t fight. I won’t fight even if I’m scared of money.

“Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?”

“Nothing in particular. If you want, I’ll give you this.”

Godin received the law code from the guard commander.

He is quite thick.

Eventually, as the guard leader cleaned up and was about to leave, he seemed to remember something he had forgotten and told me.

“Oh. And a student.”

“Yes?”

“I told you in advance, you have touched the chief, that is, the family of the family.”

Now that a civilization has been established, they seem to be treated as family members rather than chieftains. That’s natural.

Even after hearing that I had touched a member of the family, I looked at him blankly. Then the guard captain chuckled and said.

“We Tatars do not forgive anyone who touches our family. Even though you have paid the fine, take care of yourself.”

“Are you going to duel?”

“Probably so. Chief Buwar, no, the head of the family does not have a very good personality, so you’d better be careful.”

How bad of a personality must the guard captain have to say something like that out loud? So I became more curious.

If anything happens, I hope he gets beat up to death for being rude to me. Because that will make you feel at ease.

“Shivar! Shivar is here?!”

It was some time after the guard captain left. After resting, it’s time to leave.

Kara came to me in a huff, as if she had already heard the rumor. It looks quite urgent.

“Yes. It’s here.”

“You cut off someone’s tongue again?! That’s the chieftain’s younger brother!”

“Yes.”

“Oh my!”

When I accepted it, Kara covered her face with one of her hands.

It must have been dizzying for Kara since a major accident occurred not long after she arrived in Tatar.

Afterwards, she mumbled something while washing her face and looked at me.

I just looked at him with a completely harmless expression.

“······Yes. I heard that they were rude first. Right?”

“Yes.”

“Besides, he stabbed you first?”

“Yes.”

“That’s it. Good job. I didn’t kill you.”

It’s okay because I didn’t kill him. It is a Tatar-like way of thinking.

Kara then went to Godin and started talking.

Seeing that he glances at me from time to time, it seems like the story is related to me.

I watched carefully and approached cautiously. I was finally able to overhear the conversation.

“I know what Kara says, but I will take Sivar with me. He speaks fluent Tatar.”

“Korean language? It must have been a while since you learned it?”

“I saw with my own eyes that you had a smooth conversation with a local? It’s been a while since you learned it?”

“Yes. At most, it would be about a month or two…”

Kara said and looked at me. It is an expression filled with mystery.

Godin looked at me like she did, but unlike Kara, she was full of curiosity.

I don’t know anything else, but when I made eye contact with Godin, I felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety. It’s an unpleasant feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.

‘What? Godin must be a good man, right?’

Why does this face look like it is looking at delicious food? It even felt that way because my eyes were narrowed.

Anyway, I decided to follow Godin and not Kara. This could not be helped, even if it was because of the interpretation.

“Shivar. From now on, just fight with words. Understood?”

“Yes.”

“Even if you fight, don’t cut or break anything, just break it. “The fine is very strong.”

“I heard that.”

I think I’ll have to break my limbs and end it. Kara nodded her head, feeling relieved now.

After a while she left and we followed her steps again. It was better than before, perhaps because the heat had subsided.

Godin also realized that I was fluent in Tatar and actively hired me.

Thanks to this, I was able to buy various items cheaper than expected.

“100 silver coins!”

“40.”

“100······”

“40.”

“··· ···”

“40.”

“Okay. 40 silver coins! Got it?!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Well, there were times when he pushed me recklessly. In this case, it only happened when the other party was being ripped off.

But it’s too early to be too happy about it. I had no choice but to bargain hard, even if it was just because of the fine.

This incident will surely reach Rod’s ears as well. I was already looking forward to what would happen when I returned.

Anyway, thanks to the presence of the interpreter, we were able to finish it earlier than scheduled.

“I bought everything. Now let’s go back to the accommodation.”

“What about after I get back to my dorm?”

“Free time. Oh, Mr. Sivar?”

“?”

At Godin’s call, I looked at him. Godin had a polite and kind smile.

“Can Mr. Sivar help others? The reason we finished quickly was thanks to Mr. Sivar’s interpretation.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you. I will tell this story to the professors.”

Are you saying you’re going to ignore paying the fine? It was definitely worth it considering the price I bargained for.

There was no reason for me to refuse, so I readily accepted. I also wanted to wander around.

“The price of this item is 1000 silver! If you don’t want it anymore…!”

“Don’t cheat.

“Huh? Sivar student?”

“I bought it for 500 silver coins earlier.”

I went around and gave true education to people who were trying to rip me off.

Since everyone was unfamiliar with the Tatar language, they knew nothing even though they were being blatantly scammed.

It was closer to the mindset that all I had to do was fit within the budget.

That was when I was walking around helping professors buy things.

“Hey. There.”

“?”

I turned my head because I heard a voice that seemed to be calling me. It is not a kind voice at all.

When I turned my head, there were men standing there wearing not blue turbans but rather dark blue turbans.

Since the blue turban was for the guard captain and guard, the dark blue turban would have been for a higher rank. Wouldn’t it be closer to a soldier than a police officer?

Those people called me and rolled their eyes up and down. It feels like exploring.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I’m sure you have red eyes. I heard you understand us?”

“So?”

“The head of the Bouwar family called…”

I turned around without listening any further. Then, a panicking sound was heard from behind.

I don’t want to be dragged into this situation right now. Rather than something unpleasant, something annoying may happen.

“Damn. Where did he go?”

“I was definitely here earlier…!”

Knowing this would happen, I hid in the crowd. I didn’t forget to wear a turban on my head while hiding in the crowd.

My black hair and pale skin are particularly noticeable, so thick clothes are a must.

I brought it with me just in case, and it was useful. Thanks to you, I avoided troublesome work.

“Shivar?”

“?”

“What are you doing here?”

But people who recognized me recognized me. And that too, without a single doubt.

I heard a familiar voice in my ears and turned my gaze towards it.

His unique golden eyes were staring at me with a twinkle in his eye.

It was Ellie, a female student who, even though her clothes covered her entire body her, could not cover her thick chest her her her her.

“Ellie?”

“Yes. I am Elijah.”

“Why are you so wrapped up…”

“Find it quickly! It wouldn’t have gone far!”

For a moment, an annoying sound was heard from behind. I covered my face as much as possible and pretended not to know.

Meanwhile, Ellie glanced behind me and said to me.

“Shivar. Look at your face for a moment.”

“Face?”

“Yes. Stick out your face. Take down the covering over your mouth.”

I don’t know what I was going to do, but I did as I was told. By the time our faces got close to each other.

Ellie slid the mask off her face. And she wrapped her arms around my neck.

-Side!

As I continued to apply force, her lips collided with each other. I was so embarrassed that I just blinked.

But Ellie didn’t care and continued kissing her. Even the eyes are closed, giving an expression of concentration.

The kiss started out of nowhere, but maybe it was because it had already happened before. I also closed my eyes and silently accepted.

-Ok! Jjuup!

“Where did it go?”

“Go that way!”

When the kiss, which started lightly, gradually turned passionate, I heard their voices right next to me.

Fortunately, they seemed to not be interested in the part about foreigners kissing each other and ran straight to another place.

As soon as I saw them disappear, I carefully dropped my mouth.

I don’t know if it’s because we kissed for quite a long time, or because it was a kiss filled with a lot of selfishness.

A long silver line stretched between the lips. It really is a strange scene.

“Hehe. How do you feel?”

“··· ···”

“Do you think I did a good job improvising?”

Ellie said with a bright smile. The happy smile warmed my heart.

I felt a bit embarrassed and quietly pulled up the mask that was covering my mouth. My face suddenly got hot.

“······Yes. Thank you.”

“If you’re grateful, can you do it again?”

“Now?”

I looked around. It was because of the reactions of people around me.

Since we created a scene that is eye-watering, there will be some unfavorable views.

I wouldn’t have noticed it if there were fewer people, but it’s a bit embarrassing since it’s a street with a lot of passers-by.

It’s a country that doesn’t pay attention, but the immune system is somewhat weak when it comes to things like this. It was so sudden.

“Tsk, tsk. I can’t believe I became a man and felt ashamed of that.”

“It’s the law that says a man should kiss first.”

“If it were my son, I would nag him.”

“Is he so weak that he can protect his wife?”

I’m being criticized. Most of those are insults directed at me.

Are there only real men and real women in Tatar? Or should we call this barbarism?

Since it was in the middle stage between civilization and barbarism, there were only scenes full of ‘romanticism’. So it was even more absurd.

“You’re not going to do it?”

“······I will do it.”

“Hehe. Come here.”

I had no choice but to do it because I was pushed by pressure. Ellie smiled brightly and opened her arms wide in response to my answer.

At the same time, the attention pouring in on me. Everyone is pretending not to be like that, but sometimes they spy on me.

I hesitated and hugged Ellie with a feeling of uncertainty. And she slowly put out her face.

-Side! Chueup! Tsk!

The kiss continued, becoming more intense than before. The faces of each other tilted at an angle and became deeper.

“Yes. It should be like that.”

“Isn’t that foreign woman amazing? There is no other female lead like her.”

In times like this, the interpretation function is really sad. Those people probably don’t know that I understand.

I felt my face turn red in real time and then slowly opened my mouth. The silver solid line continued long once again.

-Glap

Ellie licked her solid lines with her tongue. I don’t know, but it’s really a shameful behavior.

I turned my head slightly to hide my embarrassment. Then Ellie lowered her head and looked at me.

“What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed?”

“······No.”

“Your face is red?”

I quietly answered that mischievous question.

“······It’s because it’s hot.”

Even in my opinion, it was a lame excuse.
