Chapter 614 – [My Summer Vacation]
Shion instantly became the flower of the social world.
No matter how important military force is, if it is not at war, networking and power are more important than force. And the social world is where you can get it all, and one of the fighting powers there is beauty.
As long as you’re beautiful, you can get a lot of money through an arranged marriage or join a powerful family. Even if it wasn’t that, if you were pretty or handsome, you could use the moths that flocked to you.
“You are so beautiful, Shion-nim. Do you have any secrets?”
“There is no secret to say. It is innate.
“Oh, if it’s the cosmetics that Shion uses, it won’t be ordinary. Where do you buy them?”
“It’s not something that’s sold anywhere. You probably won’t be able to find it anywhere else because I personally make it.”
“Is that so?”
The noble ladies’ eyes were fierce.
A woman’s desire for beauty knows no bounds. A man looks at himself in the mirror and thinks, ‘I’m still as good-looking as I am,’ and wonders whether or not to apply lotion, but women don’t.
If you look at the dressing table of a woman’s house, there are many kinds of cosmetics, but in a house where a man lives… Is there such a thing as a dressing table in the first place?
Anyway, the cosmetics that Shion uses, and even those that are not for sale, are quite appealing. Shion is pretty even without makeup, but they think that some of Shion’s beauty is thanks to her cosmetics.
“Well, it’s not that there aren’t cosmetics that enhance one’s beauty. There is something called [Lady’s Powder] Among my fantasies, but it’s so expensive that even aristocrats can’t use it often.”
“Even if you listen to it, it’s consumable”
Talk to Marquis Ragnakov. I had to do this because if I didn’t talk to someone, it was obvious that someone else would stick around.
By the way, [Lady’s powder]. It’s quite interesting to see that it’s a self-fantasy on the subject of cosmetics. In addition, since cosmetics are consumables, the unit price itself is different.
General self-fantasy can be used semi-permanently if copied and spread. That’s because it doesn’t disappear as long as you supply fantasy power batteries.
Consumables, however, are a different story. If it’s a self-fantasy that just disappears after using it a few times, it goes into the purchase price, not the maintenance cost.
“There are also children from aristocratic families approaching Shion-sama.”
“………..”
“Are you concerned?”
“It is said that men’s jealousy is ugly, but it is inevitable.”
I’m really a man of mine, I plant flags here and there, but I’m sorry that Zion is the only one with single-mindedness.
I’m sorry, I’ll have to get rid of this guy’s dick and live as a woman……. No, then will Shion hate it?
In any case, Shion became the flower of the social world, and even on the way back, she took up such a weight as to make her regretful.
In her moving carriage, Shion smiled as if she had a little fun.
Her Zion, whose facial expression was rarely changed, was so beautiful that even when I got used to her, her smile was so beautiful that even others could see her.
“If I had shown that smile to other people, it would have been reversed.”
“There were some people who had a sinister inside, but it was quite fun to support them.”
“What kind of head-to-head bastard is messing around?”
“If you tell me, I’m going to go to George, so I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
Oh, how did you know?!
I was trying to be quiet!!!!
Anyway, putting that aside, the most important thing is that Xion had fun. After all, the top priority is Zion.
……I’ll talk to Leticia and investigate quietly.
“But there are countless invitation requests……!!!!”
“As expected”
After Shion held her debut ceremony, almost as many invitations came to the Emerald Palace as I did when I reached the top 10 of the continent.
Can’t stop this The way to block the influx of invitations was almost the same as cutting off external activities.
If you stop activities, there is no reason why you debuted in the social world in the first place. Therefore, we have no choice but to receive it and sort out the boulders among them.
However, when they came to our palace, most of them only had the name of Zion on them. I can’t see my name very well.
“Fuck it, it’s full of invitations that only invite you but me.”
“I’m blinded by my beauty”
“It’s sad that I can’t deny it”
Normally, if you want to invite Zion, it is normal to invite me.
However, on the subject of inviting Shion directly, if only Shion was invited instead of me, that would be a bit of a poor choice.
Most of the invitations that have come now are in front of Zion. Even if the tea party is excluded, it is an invitation that clearly shows that Zion is the purpose in the end.
It’s just that the aristocratic bastards look like this. I know the level of these guys. All right
“I have to attend the tea party.”
“Aren’t you bothered?”
“That’s enough to bear. Besides, since I live here, I can’t completely ignore that, so it’s a matter of course.”
Zion decided to attend several tea parties.
Oh, of course, I made them bring desserts that I cooked myself, so I didn’t lose momentum at the tea party.
What? Where does our Zion get pushed back or her momentum dies?
Fuck it, I’m going to screw it all up!!!!!
After making it with such a feeling, when Zion attended tea parties several times, she became the queen of society as she was.
“It’s easy to win people’s hearts”
“What did you do?”
“First of all, I earned a little bit of business money… I just distributed the type of cosmetics I use.”
“You mean something you use very rarely?”
“If you see something like that stabbing you, you can’t ignore it either.”
Shion doesn’t like makeup, so she wears makeup only occasionally.
That said, in the end, it meant that she did make-up, and that she had at least the cosmetics she used to do her make-up.
The quality of the cosmetics…Of course, is good. It’s great. At the level of this medieval civilization, and no matter how much this ability is applied, it is not as good as the cosmetics that Shion uses as it is a power based on human imagination.
“What do you sell?”
“Ummm… I’m thinking of supporting your business first.”
“What do you mean?”
“The White Church’s bastards…”
“No, those bastards say I suck”
It seems that Shion still has her heart there.
I plan to deal with them later, the day the academy arrives in the White Church, but I can’t help but worry about it.
Even if it were me, the guy who harmed Shion would do anything to destroy it. To give it up is honestly absurd.
“Soon the vacation is coming to an end”
“A vacation is long at the start but short at the end.”
“Like a 100-day vacation?”
“Gyaahiah! Guwaah Aak!
Shion began to glow as he recalled the memories of those days. My PTSD is gone!!!!
Oops, I think I touched the fatal part!!!!!
* *
The academy has two vacations, summer and winter, but that period lasts a little over a month if nothing else happens.
But I spent more than half of my vacation between the Northern Islands and Zion’s social debut.
Even if you think about this and that, it means that the time left is tight enough to go back now.
“Since the news that Shion is leaving spreads, I’ve been getting sad news and invitations to last-minute parties all over the place.”
“Looks like you guys really have nothing to do.”
“Because if you don’t go to the academy, the work you do is the same.”
I clicked my tongue at the news of the social world Luminous brought me.
I also have connections there, but it is worse than Luminous, who is determined and has connections.
There is a difference between a story you can tell a distant boss and a close acquaintance. I cannot hear because the information I need comes from the latter.
“By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince…”
“Was it Baron Valentine’s family? That’s why it looks like it’s still staying in the countryside. Well, if you don’t see it now, you can see it later.”
Personally, I think it’s love rather than power or money.
Just as I prioritize Zion over everything I have, I can prioritize everything for the person I love. So, if the crown prince prioritizes the person he loves over the position of emperor, I will bless him.
It’s even better because my sister, the most likely candidate, will only bless my brother’s love and not kill him.
The older brother of the crown prince has a bit of an idiotic side, but that’s because he’s proud and exciting. In reality, he is smart and full of confidence, so he won’t be fooled by things like beauty.
If so, it’s probably true love.
“I’ve never seen it, but if it’s true love, I’ll bless you”
“Like us?”
“It’s true, but if you do it in front of Zion, they will definitely get jealous, so please restrain yourself.”
The time has come for the vacation to come to an end.
By the time vacation was over, the academy was already moving quickly towards the northeast of the empire.
When I entered school, it was anchored near the Great Forest in the west of the empire… I think it was a rather early time.
After a while, you will arrive at a kingdom. And various events awaited them there.
First of all, academy-like events, such as cultural festivals, and things like waiting for a kingdom to visit.
“Quite a lot”
“I’m busy like this. Secretly, this life is a lump of rice cake, so it’s hard to find it.”
However, if you find something left by the first king in a kingdom, it feels like that rice cake will be solved to some extent.
No, it’s just a feeling, but it’s my intuition, so that’s for sure.
Well, I have more than two jobs once every half year, but honestly, isn’t this a lot of work for me?
Besides, I haven’t done any work in the Demon World or the White Church yet!!!!
“When I go back, I’ll have to start preparing for the cultural festival.”
“It seems to be a pretty famous event, right?”
“Even commoners who can’t afford to travel visit the cultural festival. The academy just accepts outside guests at this time.”
First of all, the academy is basically a quasi-state treatment. To enter, you need something equivalent to a passport or visa.
Except for merchants, there were not many people who wanted to enter the academy in normal times. I don’t know if anyone else is going out.
However, if there is a time when only outsiders are allowed in, it is the Cultural Festival.
To put it in a nutshell, it’s a title. It means that the academy is in the black, even if it is not a part where they set up a place near a river that is not owned by anyone and sell samgyetang for tens of thousands of won.
“Um, I need to prepare something.”
“We have a cafe, but…”
“It’s something to look at in the long run, not a short-term business.”
Coffee, on the one hand, has a unique addiction, but it is a story if you drink it often.
If you sell coffee at a time like business, you can drink it once, but it is difficult to drink it twice. After that, I don’t know.
You can earn enough to run a business for a while, but in the long run, it’s hard to do business. So I had to look for another business.
“As expected, when it comes to cultural festivals, it’s best to sell alcohol like makgeolli before pajeon.”
“That’s true, but still…… Huh? Huh? Is it really true?”
The most remaining business is, of course, the liquor business. It’s not the only thing to do, but considering the unit price, that’s the best.
Besides, if it was a kingdom, it had its own sake… If it was Asian, there was no doubt that there would be no liquor made with grains.
If you make it with wheat, it’s beer, and if you make it with rice, it’s makgeolli. As alcohol is a material that can be eaten anywhere, people open their wallets well.
“Then, let’s sell alcohol… Shall we sell something besides alcohol?”
“Isn’t that too much work?”
“It’s not uncommon for people to drink alcohol in broad daylight anyway. It’s okay to sell only during the day.”
Traditionally, the important thing in street vendors is performance.
What is really good to sell as a performance……. Oh, first of all, it reminds me of deli manju, but let’s put that aside. I can’t make automated machines.
It’s better not to accept Zion’s help. Then there are few left.
“Ah, I still have something to think about.”
It stands out and, above all, contains sugar, so it is a snack that can easily be made by obtaining ingredients from the kingdom where sugar originated.
Would you like to try Korean royal snack (gura) with 500 years of tradition?
