Chapter 20: Incredibly Busy Day
Chapter 20: Incredibly Busy Day
I realized it too late.
I was mistaken because I always played as the main character.
Just because I know the main character doesn't mean they know me too.
Hiresia didn't know me at all.
It means that I was such an insignificant existence that I was not even worth caring about.
After all, why would a celebrity like her bother paying attention to a problem guy a grade below her?
For her, it was like a total stranger pretending to know someone and threatening them.
"That is… … ."
Feeling embarrassed for no reason, I gave an enthusiastic introduction.
"… … Max Celtrin."
"Is it Max Celtrin?"
"Yes."
"This is my first time hearing about it."
"I guess it hasn't been long since you came to the human world… ."
"Second grade?"
"Yes."
"I had no idea."
"Youmust have been a person with some sense of presence… … ."
"Common class?"
"Yes."
"Are you stupid?"
"… … ."
This woman is real.
"Tch, it's humiliating to be fooled by a fool's tricks."
"… ."
Don't do it because the conclusion will flow like that anyway!
"Well, okay. A promise is a promise."
She got up, brushing the dirt off her butt.
"There are some terrible people there."
… If you even taught me my name, I'm telling you to call me by my name.
Of course, I have nothing to say about the subject of threatening someone by taking advantage of their weaknesses… … .
"Yes, yes."
"Come here tomorrow at this time. I'll teach you archery."

"Phew."
When I arrived at my dorm room, I sighed.
Just one day.
But it was an incredibly busy day.
A body with poor physical strength screaming.
But what can I do?
In this world where even the main character cannot clear the game, my body has no choice but to run around like crazy to do anything.
Still, I felt at ease today because there was a harvest.
Swordsmanship and archery.
Now that I have a master, all that's left to do is train like crazy and level up as fast as possible.
"Tomorrow… … ."
I fell asleep exhausted, thinking about what I had to do tomorrow.

"What? 10,000 gold?"
Reese, who had gone out during the day and only heard the news about her brother after it had gotten dark, was so shocked that she was left dazed.
It was so suspicious that she had doubts as to whether it was actually true.
10,000 gold?
It's a really huge amount of money.
Her older brother, a mere student, asked for that much money?
Does this make any sense?
The butler once again clearly explained to her, who was confused.
"I am sorry to say this, but it is true. The young master requested 10,000 gold via magical communication this afternoon, and the Count approved it."
"Hey, this crazy guy!"
A curse came out of Reese's mouth without warning.
The butler understood her feelings completely.
If he had been in a position to swear, he would have sworn as much as he wanted.
Her brother's actions were that absurd.
"Is this crazy person really determined to destroy the roots of the family?"
Reese ground her teeth with an expression that said her insides were about to burst.
In the end, the attitude that seemed different back then was nothing.
In the end, he was just that person.
When she heard that answer, she was so angry that she had even the slightest hope.
'In the end, I kept doing such stupid things… … .'
Reese clenched her fists, her expression turning into a look of anger.
Although she had not yet made up her mind to make the final decision, she was already brimming with determination to uproot the poisonous weed that was her brother.
Her father was still alive and well and supported the family's leadership, but how long would he be able to lead the family as he was already old?
In the end, the position of the head of the household would be passed on to a human being who had no answers.
And if that happened, the downfall of the family was obvious.
Rather than having the family perish at the hands of her brother, it would have been better to cut off the blood ties herself.
She couldn't just let a prestigious family that had lasted for hundreds of years fall into ruin like this.
'… … You must be really upset.'
The butler clicked his tongue secretly while looking at Reese.
Many employees of Celtrin had seen and experienced it clearly.
How far her brother had gone in his wickedness.
A person who immediately started cursing and hitting others if he didn't like something even a little.
The butler was better.
There would not have been a single young maid in the Celtrin family who had not experienced her brother's blatant sexual harassment at least once.
If your eyes were set properly, you could clearly see what would happen if a person like him inherited the family.
It would be a real mess.
That was why there were quite a few employees who were even considering leaving the Celtrin family if Reese's brother took over the family.
Although he was a butler who had worked faithfully for the Celtrin family for over several decades, he had no intention of saying anything to them.
What could he do when his physical safety was more important than loyalty or money?
'I wish someone like Reese had been the successor.'
It was when the butler was thinking that way with regret.
Reese opened her mouth, her face sunken and her forehead cupped.
"Just go out."
"Okay. I hope you have a good night."
The butler said goodbye and left the room.
Reese, left alone, sat silently, lost in thought for a while.
How much time had passed like that?
The bell rang, signaling midnight.
Only then did Reese reach over and take the crystal ball out of the drawer.
A magic crystal ball.
It was an expensive item for telegrams.
Soon letters began to appear on the crystal ball.
-Report on the trends of the requested target.
-Demand 10,000 gold from Count Celtrin.
A fact she already knew.
Reese waited for the next one.
-Max Celtrin left the hotel he was staying at and went into the dormitory.
"Huh?"
Reese doubted her eyes.
Because the impossible news came to the crystal ball.
But that was just the beginning.
-Visit the lower level. Destination: Turk Swordsmanship Hall.
-Visit the central square. Destination: Wisdom Bookstore.
-Go out the north gate and head towards Mount Hakin. Give up on pursuing this as it is outside the guild's territory.
-Return to the dormitory.
"Hey, what is this?"
Reese shouted with a face of utter disbelief.
If it hadn't been for a direct request from an expensive information guild, she would have probably just thrown away the crystal ball, calling it nonsense.
A series of absurd actions.
Dormitory?
That punk is abandoning the comfort of a hotel and moving into a dorm?
A dormitory with a strict curfew, too?
First of all, this doesn't make sense.
And lower class?
That noble-looking man walked into a dirty, smelly lower-class place?
That doesn't make sense.
What else is a swordsman?
There's no way a person who hates sweating would suddenly want to learn swordsmanship and go to a low-level swordsmanship school.
Bookstore?
A person who had built a wall between himself and reading books opened a bookstore?
This doesn't make sense either.
Mount Hakin?
This is somewhat understandable.
He went out to get some fresh air…
No!
A person who hates sweating wouldn't go all the way to the northern mountains to take a walk!
"No, no, no. What the heck is this… … ."
Her heart, which had been filled with anger at the outrage of the crazy act of spending 10,000 gold, suddenly sank into absurdity.
Her head was in utter confusion.
Because she didn't understand.
Yes, that's right.
She didn't understand.
"Ugh, I don't know! What on earth is this guy thinking?!"
Eventually, Reese's head exploded.
