Chapter 639 – [Dragon Mountains]

The academy continued its voyage without much trouble.

However, if there is one problem, it is the problem of self-sufficiency. Oh, of course, the academy is a place where you can be self-sufficient, but it is uncomfortable to live disconnected from the outside world.

“Oops, what’s the price of meat?”

“Didn’t you say there were no plans to dock for a while? So the livestock industry reduced the supply. It’s not outrageously expensive, but it’s still a bit expensive to put meat on the table.”

At the academy, seafood is cheap and meat is expensive. However, the price of the expensive meat was lowered by supplying it from outside.

However, if there is no anchorage planned, it is impossible to supply all of them to the academy at a reasonable price. I could live if I saved up some money, but eating meat every day was unreasonable.

Oh, who eats meat every day?

This is the academy The children entering the school are students, and there are a lot of children who are in the prime of their growth years.

Those kids were always hungry no matter how much they ate. You can cover it with seafood, but meat is still meat.

“I feel like my mouth is salty because only seafood is on the table for a while.”

“I can’t help it. Hold on for the time being.”

“It’s not like I don’t have money, so what do I do to save it?”

“Still, wasting is not good. Next time I’ll buy meat and serve it separately, so don’t complain too much.”

For a while, when seafood became the main dish on the table, Shion complained. Originally, Shion was a picky eater, so it was a natural reaction.

I put up with it because the food I cook is so delicious, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago.

“Fortunately, eggs are supplied to a certain extent in poultry farms, so the price of eggs is okay.”

“There is a problem with being self-sufficient to this extent.”

“Hey, how can you not starve? Besides, even though it’s expensive, you can eat fried chicken once a week.”

Still, it can be a difficult time for students who are hungry and have poor wallets.

“I want to eat meat too.”

“Isn’t Luminus really losing his appetite these days?”

“Since your body has grown, maybe your stomach has also grown? And if you eat a lot, you move a lot at night!”

“You shouldn’t say that in front of other people.”

“Yes!”

Just answer well

Anyway, sooner or later, I think I’ll have to buy meat to satisfy my family’s mouths. Hmmm… I’m going to have to eat the food I bought.

I want to open my wallet with a big heart and open a barbecue party. Charcoal is also sold here, and if you are going to grill meat, it is better to grill it outdoors.

If it was midsummer, I wouldn’t have thought of barbecue, but now it’s autumn, and the wind blows coolly even during the day, so the weather was cool. It’s a bit chilly at night, so it’s perfect for grilling meat.

Grilled meat and served with alcohol…. Great! Looks delicious!!!

Anyway, while thinking about this and that, on my way back from the lecture, someone came to visit me.

“Excuse me”

“Yes?”

It was a face I didn’t know, but I had seen. He was the son of Duke Jinyu, an opponent in the science fiction and martial arts competitions who had previously fought the Luminous.

I had seen Duke Jinyu in a kingdom before, so now I could see that they resembled each other. As you can see, they are related by blood.

“Ah, aren’t you the son of Duke Jinyu?”

“You knew.”

“Because I’ve seen a game where my fiancé awakened his fantasies.”

I didn’t have any hostility towards this side.

I’m pretty sure I’ll cut it off. Even if the crown prince of one kingdom did shit on Zion, if one kingdom abandoned him and decided to punish him, I would have punished only the crown prince, and after that, there would be no consequences for one kingdom.

I didn’t want to condemn the whole thing because one guy was wrong, and because he had an upright personality, I rather liked this guy.

“Greetings, my name is Hui Jinyu”

“Worst Pawn Frontier. Nice to meet you.”

The purpose of the visit was roughly predicted. This is an upright unmanned type. If he had been born in Murim, he would have been known as a typical swordsman.

I had heard the conversation between him and Luminous before, so I thought maybe the purpose was to compete with me.

But that wasn’t the purpose he came for.

“I thought it was too late to come and say hello, but I was sorry to see you while I was resting on the weekend.

He has a strong personality, so even if it’s not his fault, he seems to regard the sins of his family and the people he will serve someday as if he had committed them.

It is a good character. On the one hand, I’m not flexible, so I can become a kkondae later, but that’s what I need to correct, and I’m a person who has nothing to lose by being friendly.

“Now that’s the matter. I’m offended, but it’s already over. A dead man can’t say anything anymore, can he?”

“…….Yes”

The Crown Prince was killed painfully with my hands. He handled it as suicide over there, but it’s important that I did it with my own hands anyway.

At that time, I had a sudden question.

According to King Jinhan, the crown prince was intelligent until a few years ago. Of course, people change, so it could have changed that way. The important thing here is why the Crown Prince was not dethroned despite having such an insane personality.

No matter how much the king dissuades it, if the servants rise up, it can’t be helped. In a kingdom, the king’s power is not particularly strong, so is there any reason to continue supporting such a crown prince?

“Ah, it’s because of Duke Moonryong”

“……..Hmm”

It’s a familiar name. When the crown prince was desperate, he wondered where he was going, andheheaded for the residence where Duke Moonryong was staying.

It was strange when I think about it now. Rather than going to the palace where his father is staying, he goes to a place where there are nobles who support him……. Something smells.

A wise prince. Duke Wenryong’s support, hmm… I want to dig something out, but it’s too late for that. This is because the academy has already left one kingdom.

Because I am a Continental Ten River, I am not free to move. At least, it was difficult to set foot in a foreign country unless the academy anchored.

At least the other day, it was possible because the crown prince had a quarrel and went to pick it up, and there was an invitation from Marquis Sugyung.

The places I visited while attending the academy were the Urca Great Forest and the Empire, where I was allowed to stay, so I was free to enter, but it would be difficult to enter the Dragon Mountains and the White Church.

“Duke Wenryong, the head of the noble faction, supported the Crown Prince, so despite that attitude, he still maintained his position. Due to the difference in opinion, my father had conflicts with Duke Wenryong…..”

“Thank you for telling me”

“No, this is nothing”

Next time I go to a kingdom, I’ll have to investigate the Duke of Moonryong.

There was a high possibility that the guy and the guy named Jantman had something to do with it. There is no evidence, but my intuition, which is more certain than any other evidence, was telling me.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll invite you to my dormitory tonight. Recently, the price of meat at the academy has gone up, so I’m planning to hold a barbecue party with a big heart.

“A party? Are you talking about a social party or something?”

“It’s just a dinner for people you know. You don’t have to be formal, just come comfortably.”

“If you invite me……Yes, I understand.”

After class, I went to the market and bought some meat.

Irrespective of the type Originally, it’s fun to grill and eat various types of meat at a barbecue party. Oh, of course I buy some seafood as well as meat. I got tired of eating it for a while, but I needed something to refresh my mouth in the middle.

In addition to meat and seafood, I also pick out some vegetables to eat together… Asterope can’t eat meat, so I buy vegetables that are delicious when grilled.

Come to think of it, since there is soy sauce, it would be delicious to bake corn with soy sauce.

“I heard the story!!!!! They said they were having a meat party!!!!!”

“Why did you come again?”

“Eating delicious food, I can’t miss it!!!!!!”

“Well, the more people there are at a party, the more fun it is.”

I was in the middle of shopping, and Rubys flew in and landed on my head. It’s in a fairy state, so it flaps over my head like a doll.

Ruby grabs my hair and pulls it around. It seems like a joke, but on the other hand, it reminds me of a cooking animation I saw before and makes me laugh.

Why is there a movie where a mouse controls people with its hair to cook? I personally enjoyed it.

“Meat meat meat, delicious meat!!!!”

“Anyway, you’re small, so even if you eat a lot, wouldn’t it be enough for one person?”

“These days, they’ve grown so much that they spend a lot of money on food!!! Well, it’s hard to cook at home, so I usually go out to eat.”

“Oh, you said you live in a new house. But I heard before that it was occupied by crows. Is that okay?”

“I ate all the crows that tried to take over my house!!!!!”

“The end of revenge was not empty, but full.”

Don’t worry!

But the spleen is awesome too. Do you still think about eating crows?

“By the way, you. What did you do last night with Luminous?”

“……..What?”

No, wait.

There’s only one thing I can do at night with Luminous?! No, when did you see this guy?! It definitely didn’t catch my mood!!!!

“The other day, on my way back from watching the fireworks, I saw a glimpse through your dorm window.

No!!!! It’s not that I didn’t see it well, I just saw it all!!!!

It was above my head, so I couldn’t see her face, but her tone didn’t quiver or anything like that. Apparently, Ruby doesn’t know what sex is.

Why are there so many kids around me who haven’t received sex education?!

I was wondering how to explain it, but I decided to be honest because if I made a poor excuse, Ruby’s personality would make me go somewhere else and make a fuss.

“……It’s what humans do when it comes to making children. Since Luminus and I are getting married, isn’t it strange that we do it?”

“Oh, is it? You’re different from us.”

“How do fairies make children?”

“They said that if a male fairy and a female fairy find a flower bud of the right size, go in together and pollinate it, a baby fairy will be born soon after!”

It’s not that different from where people live.

Instructing a child about sexuality and how to have a baby was difficult in many ways. It’s natural to let them know, but it’s not particularly good to tell them too early.

But what about moisture? I heard the analogy was very appropriate. It seems to have a similar sense to picking up a child from under a bridge.

“Don’t go somewhere else and talk about this? Making a baby is something only married couples should know about. You can’t help it because you’ve been through it, but if someone else finds out, it’s a big deal.”

“How big is it?”

“First of all, Luminous and I are engaged, so rumors won’t hurt much, but…….

“I won’t tell anyone!!!!!”

“Great”

I bought the ingredients and returned to the dormitory.

There were Korma and Shion, who were already starving. It seems that Seon is out at a cafe.

Luminus and Asterope probably didn’t finish their classes…….Anyway, I decided to prepare a barbecue party for the evening.

“Is this a meat party tonight?”

“It’s a barbecue. I have to prepare this and that, so can you help me?

The number of people was large, and there were also people who were gluttons, so the amount of meat brought was almost 10 servings.

Oh, of course, one kind. If you combine different kinds of meat, you can make dozens of servings. Even I don’t have enough hands to trim it all and prepare it for baking.

“I’ll help too”

“Then, starting with the beef… Let’s season this with just salt and pepper. I’d like to season it with minced garlic, but I think some people won’t like it if it smells like garlic.”

“Yes, I understand”

If it was something that Shion and I were eating, we would put a lot of garlic in it, but people who don’t like garlic naturally hate it. It was the virtue of a cook to be considerate of such a person and prepare them so that they could be eaten as deliciously as possible.

If you force-feed food you just don’t like, that’s also violence on the one hand. I don’t approve of unbalanced eating, but coercion is bad.

“Because there is soy sauce too…… Shall we make teriyaki-style chicken with soy sauce?

“It’s deadly without red pepper paste.”

“Let’s do that next year. Let’s make kimchi.”

As we were preparing, the sun was setting. It didn’t seem too late, but when I saw the sun go down, it seemed that winter was slowly approaching.

And around that time, the kids who came back from classes and cafe business came to the dormitory.

“We’re here!”

“What’s for dinner tonight!”

“That’s true, Asterope-sama’s greetings are always the same.”

Luminus and Asterope came first, followed by Sun and Zeon.

First of all, I put it on so that you can take care of the progress of love, but it seems that you are not able to ride a thumb properly, let alone progress. It’s something you know just by looking at it.

“Oh, do you want to eat meat for dinner tonight?”

“For now. Ah, you, Jeon, sit down too. I bought plenty of meat.”

“Thank you. Actually, meat is expensive these days…”

“It seems that even the head of the department can’t help having a tight wallet.”

Everyone came, and finally Hui Jin-yu, whom I had invited, came. Compared to the outfit she wore during the day, it was light, but she still had her own manners.

“Oh, you’re here. Come in. Everyone else is waiting.”

“Thank you for inviting me. Oh, I brought this because I couldn’t come empty-handed.”

“This?”

I didn’t know if I’d even bring a present, but what is it?

I can’t check the contents because it’s packed, but if I shake it once, I see it’s a liquid.

“It’s a liquor that only comes out a few bottles a year in the stock market I know personally. I hope you enjoy it.”

No! How do you know I like alcohol!!!!

You are a very good boy!!!!!
