Chapter 10 – 10.Valendia (10)
The day Sasha rejected her offer, she looked at him with a puzzled look.
“Why do you want to enter the academy so much?”
“Because there is a purpose that must be achieved.”
Sasha tilts her head, crossing her arms.
“For what purpose?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
At the time of entering the Academy, she wouldn’t believe me if I told her that she had to defeat the Demon Lord of Chaos, who was only known as a legend.
“Take more than that.”
She took out the amulet that she had put in her inventory for a while while changing and placing it in Sasha’s hand.
“Be careful not to lose it again.”
“Of course. Never. I will never forget it again.”
Sasha smiled brightly and hung the amulet she gave her around her neck.
When I hung it around her neck, the position of the emulet, which was long enough for me to wear, covered the top of Sasha’s exposed cleavage of her.
Perhaps because of the amulet, it has the added effect of naturally drawing attention to the chest of her.
“With this, the contract has been concluded successfully.”
“No! To do it right, we have to sign the contract~. Shall we go write it right away?”
She shook her head left and right at Sasha’s her words her her her her.
“No, we’ll do that tomorrow.”
“Hmm? Are you busy with anything?”
“Didn’t you find your parents’ relics that you had been looking for? Now, you need time to feel that emotion more than a contract.”
In Luyeon City, after parting ways with the player, I already know how Sasha sheds tears while holding her amulet alone and remembering her parents.
Sasha will need that time now.
“… Haha.”
Sasha, who was staring at me blankly, burst out laughing.
“Is this what my brother who made me angry with the amulet would say?”
“At the time, I didn’t know it was a keepsake from my parents. Then I’ll come back tomorrow to find it.”
“Yes. See you again tomorrow, brother.”
We said goodbye to Sasha and headed to the inn.

After Sha Sha broke up with her Sihan Lee, she sat in her own office at Cats Store and thought about the man she met today who surprised her again and again with his unusual nature
After she arrived in Valendia, she became a special adventurer who went out to hunt bandits every day.
When Sasha heard that the adventurer was walking around wearing her parents’ memories that she had been looking for, Sasha immediately contacted her man.
At first, she thought she was a petty merchant and tried to pass by.
Since she had just come to Valendia, she thought she could do it, so she lured her to her cafe and started doing business with her.
Sasha thought that she deal she would be sealed right then and there and that she would get the amulet back.
But in reality, she was Sasha, and it was as if she had been tricked by Sihan Lee on the spot..
‘It wasn’t like me. No matter how much I tried with that amulet… I got so excited.’
When she heard that the amulet’s jewels would be removed, she burst into tears and could not control her emotions.
This is truly unusual for Sasha, who has gained experience through many transactions as she has worked as a trader.
What followed was a story about Sasha’s past her her, and a contract with the concept of investment, not just money.
The more she talked, the more Shasha thought that Sihan Lee was not just a skilled adventurer.
Above all, his words she had power.
The power of words to make people believe.
When she asked me to prove it, half joking.
Her Her Her words Her her Her, asking him to trust her, shook Sasha’s heart Her her her.
‘At that time, it was amazing that I felt like I could trust my brother.’
I could feel her her trustworthiness her in her her in his words her of her her, as if he had pierced through her her own doubting heart of her.
And upon arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, it was a series of surprises, as if it had been proven that Lee Si-han was an unusual person.
The fact that Lee Si-han has special abilities in subspace.
Scars on the body that cannot be called ordinary.
And Lee Si-han’s spear skills for one minute.
All three surprised Sasha.
Subspace ability that far exceeds the performance of the subspace ring.
If Lee Si-han had not declared that he was going to the academy, Lee Si-han’s abilities were so attractive to the company that they would have continued to recommend him to get a job at the company.
Above all, the biggest attraction was that Lee Si-han had that ability.
A scar that looks like the body has been split diagonally and several scars that look like they were pierced by something on the stomach.
Each and every scar was a trace of a life-threatening wound.
‘I went through such a dangerous situation… It is proof that we have overcome that crisis and are still alive.’
Sasha was convinced that the proof was the fact that Sihan Lee was still alive and the spear moves that Sihan Lee had shown.
At first glance, the movement appears to be just swinging the spear at will.
But in Sasha’s eyes, it didn’t look like just an ordinary spear move.
‘It wasn’t an ordinary move. Beautiful… Neat… It was a movement that seemed to say that this was really handling a spear.’
Sasha also learned martial arts to protect herself.
And as someone who has taken a step into the path of martial arts, Lee Si-han’s spear movements were a perfect example, without any errors.
So you can be sure.
This contract is said to bring great profits to the company.
It is clear that Lee Si-han will stand out at the Academy, defeating any powerful monster and bringing rare and valuable materials to the Academy.
To the profit, simply providing equipment is such a small investment that it pricks your conscience.
‘If my brother wants anything later, I’ll do my best to accommodate it. I can’t believe such a lucky contract partner came rolling in with mementos.’
Sasha held the amulet around her neck and looked at it.
“Is this a gift from mom and dad to me?”
Even if you try to keep smiling at the unexpected windfall while looking at the amulet.
Sasha’s eyes were turning red as she was reminded of her parents ‘her return her her and her excitement her at finally getting her belongings her her back her.
“Oh, it’s true.”
Holding her amulet, Sasha recalled what Sihan Lee had said to her.
– Now, more than a contract, I think I need time to feel that emotion.
“Ha, haha… What you said… It was really right.”
Looking at her recovered amulet her in her her private office her her, memories of her late parents poured out of Sasha’s heart her and she wouldn’t stop.
Longing for the past, sadness that times like those will never come again, and joy that her memories of her parents have returned are all mixed together, causing tears to form at the corners of Sasha’s eyes.
Clutching her amulet tightly, Sasha bowed her body and said,
“Mom… Dad… Thank you.”
Gratitude for the belated gift I received, to my parents in heaven.
***
The next day.
After eating, I decided to go to Cats Store and sign a contract with Sasha.
The place to write the contract is Sasha’s office.
“Okay then, please sign it, oppa~.”
I received the contract handed to me by Sasha, who was smiling brightly with an amulet around her neck, and immediately reviewed it.
“Hmm…”
After reading the contract, it was no different from what I first wanted from Sasha.
“Hey, it’s not a very long contract. Is there a need to read it that way?”
“Checking the contract is more important than anything else.”
“That is correct.”
“There is something I would like you to add.”
“What is it?”
“After entering the academy, I plan to find a colleague to act with me. So, I would like to ask my colleague to help me with equipment when I visit.”
“Aha! Well, if that’s the case, I’d like to say… But most of the people attending the academy are high-ranking people, right? It would be difficult if I just blindly asked them to get something that doesn’t even exist in our store.”
“Don’t worry. I plan to select people who don’t make such foolish demands. In the first place, children of high nobles will automatically receive equipment provided by their families.”
Probably so.
Who would send their children away empty-handed?
“So what I’m offering won’t be so outrageous.”
“That’s true too. Then let’s add a provision for that first.”
After receiving the contract again, Sasha picks up her pen and adds the contents of her contract.
“Is there anything else you’d like to add?”
“No.”
Most of the money is spent in the first place because of the equipment.
Food expenses can be covered by killing bandits or monsters and selling materials.
After filling out the additional clauses, I signed the contract and the contract between me and Sasha was established.
“This is it! Please take care of me, oppa~.”
“Okay.”
Sasha took my hand and shook it loudly.
“If you need anything outside of the contract, please let me know! Since it’s between me and you, I’ll accommodate anything!”
Oh.
It’s a very harsh word, but I’m just guessing.
In this case, it’s better to give it a little push than to blindly say your wish.
“Other than the contract, we probably don’t have much of a relationship, right?”
“Oh, I feel bad when you say that, oppa~. You and I didn’t just make a contract, we made a special contract that we’ve never made with anyone else.”
It’s not wrong.
Since I will confidently bring expensive materials to Cats Company, there will be no one but me who will ask for an exclusive contract.
They say it depends on how you say it.
“I will accept the favor. If there is anything else I would like to ask of you, I will tell you.”
“Good! Ah. Did you eat breakfast?”
“Okay.”
“Then how about having a snack? The snacks at our store are pretty delicious too?”
There is no need to refuse food.
“Let me eat.”
After a while, an employee of Cats Company brought tea and cookies.
The sweetness of the cookies alleviates the astringent taste unique to tea.
“It’s delicious.”
“Right~.”
Around the time I ate my second cookie.
It was always inside me.
While playing Rupan, the small curiosity that most users had was aroused.
The contract was completed successfully and my relationship with Sasha feels good.
All that’s left is to leave on time for the academy’s entrance exam.
So to speak, it was like leisure time.
So, when I was able to leisurely drink tea and chew cookies in a bleak environment where only bandits were killed every day, the miscellaneous thoughts and curiosity that had been suppressed until now came out.
‘Because it’s Sasha, if you ask me about this, I’ll give you a nonchalant answer.’
Moreover, I can confidently ask about the concept I am currently working on.
In order to overcome the difficult situation of having to catch the devil of chaos, a crazy boss.
A little pleasure is also necessary for mental care.
“Now that I think about it, I’ve been curious about something ever since I met you.”
“Are you curious? Oh~ Are you really curious about me? Oh, if it’s my boyfriend, I don’t have one!”
I know that.
In the first place, there’s no way a character who appears as a gacha character in a character game would ever date someone, right?
“That’s not what I’m curious about.”
“Hmm? Then what is it?”
In a game, it can be somewhat understood that it is designed to extract money.
But anyway, this is a place where the characters are alive, even in the game.
So.
“Why are you unbuttoning your clothes and exposing your cleavage?”
You can hear the origin of the costume directly from the person involved.
Even if you can already guess the approximate answer, you can hear it directly from the character.
As a user, I can’t stand this.
