Chapter 99 – Men’s Conversation (01)

‘Was this the time when points were at their lowest?’

This is not the season when you have points left because there are no things to buy in the beginning, or when you have points left because the rewards you get at the end are high. You have to buy equipment and various items to deal with stronger monsters, but the rewards you receive are still small, so it is the most difficult season. I will do it.

Instead of earning points in that situation, I foolishly submitted 300 points as a penalty for failing the mission, leaving me penniless.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have saved some points…’

When paying the fine, I was able to earn 300 points by selling all the candy and herbs I had in my pocket.

On the last day, I regretted that I should have searched nearby to complete the mission, but it was already too late.

During the next practice, I quietly chew the tough meat, vowing to earn a lot by receiving a mission that is not difficult but has great rewards.

The basic meal provided without points was sour black bread and steak made from tough cuts.

Still, it was treated as Class E, so the basic restaurant has developed to this level.

Before that, the diet was even more horrendous, and eating out in groups became a daily routine for Class E students, who actually received bread mixed with sawdust and intestines that had not been removed?

‘If you don’t have points, you have to eat at a basic restaurant without any worries.’

Most students chose to eat out because they did not like this restaurant, which was improved after winning the class competition. However, the dietary problem will be improved to some extent only after winning the class competition at the end of the semester and moving to the second level area.

“The meat is incredibly soft today.”

When I saw the Cylian holding it with both hands and eating it, I thought that even though he had little chance of succeeding to the throne, the prince was eating in a very mean manner.

I know that Sailian is paid to some extent by the royal family as a cost to maintain dignity, and since he was collecting and smuggling wine, he was eating the same basic menu as me.

“Did you wait a long time? Aren can eat this.”

Ophelia was eating the same basic diet as me, but she was cutting the soft parts for me and she was taking the tough parts for herself.

‘The basic diet of the duke’s family, which is as powerful as the prince and the royal family, is the only female food…’

In some ways, the situation is funny.

“Is it delicious?”

“It doesn’t taste good~ Why do you ask when Aren knows?”

“If you’re not going to eat this, give it to me.”

Ophelia grumbles as she chews the tendon that wasn’t properly removed from the meat like gum, or Cylian covets my meat because she wants to eat another bowl.

I feel strange once again that the children who will later become Iron Blood Princes and become public figures of the entire continent are now sitting in front of me and next to me, leisurely eating cheap meat.

“Hmm…”

Kei, who came into the restaurant covered in sweat as if he had just been training somewhere, frowned as he saw only me, Ophelia, and Cylian eating in the spacious restaurant.

‘A member as usual…’

“By the way, Kay, it’s your birthday today, right? Happy birthday~!”

“Oh my? Kay, was it your birthday?”

Now that I think about it, I was so focused on the girls’ birthdays that I forgot about it, and it was Kay’s birthday during the summer.

Even if a boy celebrates his birthday, there is nothing to worry about, but the underwear that is automatically put on in the dormitory will disappear.

Ophelia, who must have found out the personal information of the students in her class, congratulated her first and took out cookies from her pocket as a simple gift. Cylian smiled and put his hand into her arms and took out her wine bottle. .

“Huh~ Is that grape juice?”

It seems that Ophelia, whose adult mode has not been unlocked, is filtered because Cylian took out grape juice.

“Don’t worry about that. Didn’t you have an appointment with Seri?”

“Oh, that’s right. I’ll go first~”

Ophelia only picked up the bread on her plate and left, leaving only the three men who had unlocked adult mode.

“Hey, how about coming here and having a drink?”

When I glared at her, Cylian shrugged her shoulders and asked back with her signature sly expression.

“Why? I’m an adult so I can eat it, right?”

“Wow. Kei doesn’t like this kind of fighting thing, so why bother?”

“Congratulations are okay, congratulations are okay.”

Normally, he would silently receive his food and then go to the exclusive seating area at the edge, but today, Kei was approaching here with a cold, stern look on his face, carrying a mountain of meat and bread on a tray.

“Look at him. He’s angry.”

“No, something like this…” ” If she was going to become an adult, she should have been given a drink once.”

Normally, if the atmosphere got too heated like this, Hollio would stand in the way, but right now there were only three people in the restaurant: me, Cylian, and Kay.

As she saw Kay approaching with a fierce expression she had never seen before, Saili An also slipped her wine bottle back into her arms.

“Did the red-haired girl leave? She just happened to be okay.”

Bang!

Perhaps intentionally trying to start a fight, Kay dropped a mountain of bread and meat on the seat right next to Sailian.

Pieces of bread and meat splattered on the faces of Saylian and I, who were sitting at her table, making a mess of the table, and even the face of Saylian, who had been smiling just a moment ago, hardened.

“I was already looking for this opportunity.”

“Yes. No matter how mean I am, I don’t have the hobby of beating up birthday people, but if you want, I’ll give you a beating.”

As her her kei her she brought her her hand her her her to her her her her greatsword her her her hanging on her own back her her her, Sylian also brought her hand her her her to her her own waist her her, ready to strike with her sword.

‘If we fight here for no reason, our mutual affection will only be ruined… Should I take out a wooden sword from the [Shadow Pocket] And strike them both down…’

While trying to figure out what to do to manage my likeability, I was also looking at the angle to pull my legs back from under the table and take out the wooden sword.

Kay’s heavy mouth opened.

“Teach me how to talk to women.”

“…What?”

“I heard that you are popular with women, Cylian.”

For a moment, Cylian and I were racking our brains, unable to accept the current situation.

“Oh, that’s right. I need a condition to learn how to talk to women. Is that okay?”

“Okay.”

Sailian took out the wine from his arms.

“Then get a drink and let’s get started.”

Stop it, you alcoholic!

* ​ * ​ *

First, when we tried to drink openly at the restaurant, the academy guards came after us, confiscated our wine bottles, and kicked us out, so we had no choice but to take refuge in the Cylian’s room.

“Okay, let’s drink this today to celebrate Kay’s coming of age.”

Kay looked shocked to see that only Cylian had made a secret door in her wall and was filling it with her wine, but she couldn’t bring herself to confront her openly because she was in a situation where she was asking for her advice her her her.

“Okay then, one bottle each.”

“What about the glass?”

“Do you need that? You can’t go back to your room until you drink a bottle of this today.”

That meant blowing the bottle.

“What about snacks?”

“No. Alcohol tastes better when you drink it in cans.”

As I was holding the wine bottle upside down and seriously contemplating whether to break the Cylian’s head with my master swordsmanship, Kay was able to calm the situation down by offering me beef jerky that she had prepared separately.

And then the boys’ talk began, where three guys gathered together and poured wine from a bottle.

‘But the person being asked is a Sailian, so why am I also there?’

I tried to run away, but Cylian grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let me go.

“Okay then, Kay. Congratulations on her coming of age her.”

The three of us clinked open wine bottles and each took a drink. I moistened my lips slightly and put it down, Cylian drank half a bottle in one go, and Kay emptied one bottle on the spot.

“As expected of you, Kei! Just be like a man!”

“Thank you.”

“Then I’ll take out another bottle for Kay!”

A very excited Cylian brought several bottles of alcohol and put them on the floor, but since it was Kay who was going to drink it and not me, I let it go.

When Sailian and Kay shared a few bottles and I drank about a third of the bottle, Sailian finally put down the wine bottle and asked.

“Hiccup! So, what was the reason our Kay came to visit me?”

“I want to know how to talk to women.”

“Oh, that’s right, that’s right. Our Kay is all grown up too. Hehe… Does she have a girl she likes?”

“Class president.”

At those words, Sailian and I froze at the same time.

“Marian, the class president, has excellent swordsmanship. She has the body of a woman and I feel like I respect her for being at that level.”

“Uh, I mean, K. Wait a minute… “

The Cylian’s eyes were shaking anxiously as he looked back at me and Kay.

“You said you wanted to learn how to talk to girls, and that person… Is the class president?”

“No. As a prosecutor, the class leader is good at communicating and she has a strong ability to lead a conversation, so she doesn’t need to practice conversation separately.”

“Ah, right?”

“Alternatively, a recent transfer student named Ophelia seems to be quite good at swordsmanship. She goes back and forth between magic classes and swordsmanship classes, so I’m not sure about it. I think she’ll need the skill to communicate with women here.”

This time, the Cylian’s eyes were shaking uneasily.

Haha, Aren, this guy is Kei. I guess I’m saying this because I don’t know much about it yet… “

Cylian was trying hard to make excuses to me on Kay’s behalf, as if he was caught in the middle of a love triangle, but Kay was just wondering why that guy was acting like that.

“Also…”

Before Kay could open her mouth, Cylian was urgently covering my ears and shouting something.

“Hey! Shut up for a moment! I’ll try to control the situation first!”

“No, Cylian… You don’t have to do that.”

Anyway, given Kay’s personality, it was obvious that liking her meant not affection for her as a man or woman, but a partner for whom ‘she has a strong desire to win as a prosecutor’.

“Here, you have to ask the right questions. These days, I keep worrying about that person, keeping it in my mind, but I really want to talk to that person. Are there any women who think like this?”

Kay was nodding her head in response to my question, and, thankfully Cylian was relieved that her genre had not changed to that of a cuckold, she let go of my ear.

“Who is that? Is it someone I know?”

“I am a teacher.”

This time, the corner of Sailian’s mouth curled up and her expression became stiff.

“Ha?”

“Hey, hey. Don’t hold the wine bottle upside down.”

This time I had to stop Cylian because she was about to slam her wine bottle on Kay’s head.

“Teacher? Teacher Seo?”

“Yes. When I thought of her, I felt dizzy and my heart pounded before, but since this morning, my lower body started to wriggle and I felt strange. Even when I met her her face her her her her her her her her her her her her her legs her her her she became weak. It felt like my crotch was getting stronger.”

Oh, this doesn’t work. I tried to cover Scylian’s ears, but she caught her in one go. She didn’t even bother to drink the contents of her wine bottle, so she held it upside down and the contents were leaking out, soaking her floor.

“Whoa, whoa. Calm down, Cylian.”

“How can you calm down? How dare this bastard look at Teacher Karen and say he’s disgusted!”

With the thought, “Oh no, that outfit might be a little off-putting…”, I wondered why Cylian was suddenly overreacting so much.

‘Oh, this guy…?’

“Sailian.”

While I was thinking about it, Kay must have realized something about her and spoke to Cylian, who was barely suppressing her anger with a stern expression.

“When I think about it, I think this is an erection.”

“This bastard!!”

Wow, I knew the real Cylian and Kay weren’t a good fit given her personality, but I never thought she was this bad!

Ji-i-ik…

I managed to get behind Sylian and grab her arms and legs, but she wasn’t able to do it with just her strength and she was being dragged.

As I hurriedly signaled her to leave, Kay, who was insensitive, was thinking again about the changes that had occurred in her own body.

“Yes. When she met her teacher in the afternoon and had him give her some manual instruction, she wondered why her legs felt weak … And it turned out to be an erection.”

“Ha… Huhahaha! You’ll come out like this…!”

After listening to the messy conversation between these two people, I was able to come to one conclusion.

“Calm down, Cylian!”

“Ugh… !”

Use ‘voice’ to temporarily suppress the Cylian’s movements.

The stronger the affinity for me, the stronger the influence of the ‘voice’, so Cylian, who was already at the best friend stage, paused for a moment as if his body was tied, and this time I applied the ‘voice’ to Kay.

“So, tell me exactly who you like, their name and position!”

“Teacher Heidi, the homeroom teacher of the 3rd grade E class and instructor of the swordsmanship class.”

Despite my restraint, the Cylian, who was trying to break Kay’s head by picking up a wine bottle with both hands, stopped moving.

“…”

He quietly knelt down and handed Kay two bottles of wine, and Kay ignorantly took both bottles and put them in his mouth and started pouring them at the same time.

“Why. What. Why.”

As I watched Cylian ticking away in an awkward atmosphere, I told him the conclusion I had come to earlier.

“You like Teacher Karen…?”

At those words, the Sailian’s face turned bright red.
