Chapter 80 – Let Me Be Your Advisor (2)
And he held out a piece of paper.
It was a blank piece of paper engraved with the coat of arms of the Duke of Burlington.
“My family pays for all the expenses for the next adventure. Any amount is fine, so write down the amount you want and exchange it for cash at the bank.”
Is it a blank check?
I examined the Duke’s face.
It seemed that it did not matter even if I exchanged a large sum of money.
Duke of Burlington.
It is a family richer than the royal family.
So, he often extorted money from the royal family.
Instead, they were guaranteed economic interests, such as power and monopoly rights.
The Marquis of Wistent was the first to try to kill Duke Neville because he was the lifeline of the royal family.
“If it’s because of the past, you don’t have to worry about it. I just did what I had to do, and I wasn’t expecting any kind of reward.”
“No. I’ve been researching you for the past few days. You’ve come a very good way. Regardless of saving our family from the hands of assassins, I decided it was worth the business for me to go with you.”
“What if… “
There was no reason to refuse.
Adventures cost money, so the more guardians there were, the better.
Because I can receive large-scale human and material support that I cannot prepare alone.
Moreover, there are times when the intangible assets of the guardians, the connections of the nobility, are needed.
If you’re at the Duke’s level, your personal connections will be insignificant.
There was nothing wrong with accepting the favor.
“I will use it well.”
I received the blank paper, rolled it up, and put it in my arms.
It means accepting sponsorship.
The Duke smiles heartily.
“And I have a suggestion. I’m thinking of establishing a guild to excavate ancient artifacts soon. So I want you to become the guild leader of that guild. In return, I will pay you an astronomical amount every year.”
An astronomical amount!
How much are you willing to give?
After all, the distribution is different for the rich.
“If there’s anything else you need, just tell me and I’ll support you. Oh, by the way, guild branches will be set up all over the continent besides the kingdom. I’m thinking of creating a super-large guild that hasn’t existed before.”
Omg.
The guild leader of a super-giant guild!?
Isn’t this your chance to have your own kingdom?
‘Did I really like you? Why are you like this… ‘
Burdensome.
But I like it.
I tasted it.
I wanted to try it out of my mind.
The bigger the guild, the better quality information will come in, and based on that information, it will be easier to preoccupy something and it will be convenient to be active.
‘Oh, I want to. But.’
When I hesitated to answer, Duke Neville put his chin on his chin and was lost in thought.
“Hmm… “
He seems to be thinking about what he lacks and what he needs to do more, as if he thought that his proposal was flat and he didn’t get an answer right away.
“The people who will work under you will only hire nationally famous hero-level talent. Other than that, is there anything else you want? I’ll buy you anything, so don’t mind telling me. I don’t know much about adventure guilds, so I don’t know what else to arrange.”
“No, no.”
I calmly scratched the bottom of my ear.
“Thank you for the offer, but I’m sorry. I’m in a guild now. I have a special friendship with the guild leader there, so I can’t leave.”
“You belonged to Thunderfield, right?”
“Yes. I’ve known you since I first arrived in this kingdom, so I grew up with you. So it is not easy to leave.”
“Are you moving together?”
“That sister will object. He has a strong attachment to the guild he founded.”
“Hmm… “
Duke Neville was very sorry.
“I really want you to be the guild leader, but it’s a pity.”
At that time, the Thunderfield Guild’s guild manager.
The narrow-eyed guild leader Olivia let out a deep sigh.
“Naru… “
Her brow furrowed slightly.
“It’s already been over a week since I returned to the capital, and I’m sad that he hasn’t come to see me.”
She looked down at the gift box on the desk.
“Did I just buy it? I hate it.”
Opened the lid of the box.
There was dew inside.
It was a gift from Naru, who I bought when I went on a business trip to the provinces for the past few months.
I bought it because it had an interesting function that would be helpful to Naru.
That function is…
[Cock Contraception]
The ability to see the perfect contraceptive effect by spraying semen without kernel during ejaculation.
Dew was discovered by chance at a local market and bought at a high price.
Naruga, who was divorced, misses a woman, so she goes to a brothel and gets cheap several times.
“I never found it. Be sad.”
Olivia sighed deeply again.
***
“I wish you well in the future. If you have anything to ask, feel free to come to me.”
“Please make me something like a dagger or clothes with the Burlington family crest engraved on it. I will promote my family and take it with me when I go on adventures.”
“Oh, that’s a good idea. I will discuss with the staff and think about what would be good.”
“It is an honor to have such a good relationship with the Duke. I also wish you well in the future.”
“I am extremely happy.”
After shaking hands with the duke, I got off the carriage.
I could see the school gate of Vizdra Academy in front of my eyes, and it was full of students going to school.
“I’ll be back.”
“Yes, study hard.”
Alicia, who hadn’t said a word in the carriage until now, followed me and got out of the carriage.
“Then see you again!”
The carriage has left.
Duke Neville was a man of great distribution.
It’s embarrassing to write so much for me.
On the one hand, thank you.
For taking good care of me
I’ll have to get Duke Neville something he wants from his adventures later.
Because it is my way to repay a favor with a favor.
‘However… ‘
As I passed through the school gate and entered the campus, I looked around.
‘Why is he walking alongside me?’
Alicia was walking close to me, like her friend.
Since we rode in the same carriage, it was only natural that we would walk around the school together, but was this the relationship between me and him?
‘I thought he’d disappear without looking back as soon as he got off the carriage.’
Weird.
Why are you walking together?
That’s strange…
As an assistant professor at this academy, it’s a bit awkward to say “You walk far away” To a student walking with you.
It was my attitude as an educator.
No matter how bad a student is, wouldn’t it be right to embrace it with an open mind?
It’s awkward, but I couldn’t do this or that, so I just walked down the street with Alicia.
“… “
“… “
There was only silence between us.
Alicia was walking with only her face looking straight ahead, and I was walking with only looking straight ahead.
We have nothing to say to each other.
Do you have any topics to share?
Rather, he was talking about it.
“Oh my, look over there. Over there, there. Alicia-sama and Naru go together.”
The eyes of the students poured out.
Regardless of gender, they stopped and stared blankly at us.
“And… Goes well. Seeing it like that.”
“Both of them are dazzling because they’re both good men and women.”
“Naru is really surprised. Even though I’m next to Alicia-sama, I won’t bother at all.”
“I don’t look like an attendant, I look like a boyfriend. Right?”
Those guys…
Didn’t the name change?
You should call me Assistant Professor Naru and call Alicia-sama Alicia.
When I was a student, when I was talking with my friends, I called teachers by their first names and looked after them.
“Oh, my lady, are you here!”
12th grade coexistence class assistant professor Wiggreb ran out of the building with a big smile on his face.
He came in haste and behaved like a butler.
“Give me the bag. I’ll listen. Wow that’s heavy It hurts my heart that you were carrying this heavy thing with the body of a delicate lady. Let’s go.”
Wiggreb glanced at me.
Then he frowned.
“Why did you walk next to my lady Alicia? Be misunderstood by others.”
“Ask the lady.”
I pointed at Alicia with her chin and brushed past them.
“Miss. What is that human saying? What are you asking?”
Behind her, Alicia shouted indignantly.
“I just made it right because you didn’t leave! Do not misunderstand!”
Ohhh, that’s right.
I didn’t know she was a caring person.
I raised my hand and entered the building.
And he went straight to Melissa’s office.
“Self! What was it like living without me? Did you like it?”
As soon as she saw me, Melissa hugged me and showed her sadness.
“You said you only slept for one day, but why did you stay for three days? You bastard who preyed on all the kids Lee Ji taught.”
“I think I will live forever. I like the house.”
“What are you doing!”
“You, too, tidy up your house and move into my house. I’ll give you a room.”
“Hmm… Could it be? My house is so big that it was annoying to manage alone, but it worked out. Go home and live comfortably. I want to save money too.”
Smart.
A knock was heard.
I quickly untied both hands from gripping Melissa’s hips as she was wearing her mini skirt, and became more attentive.
Immediately the door opened and Holland and Anne, assistant professors of harmony, came in for a morning meeting.
“Assistant Professor Naru. Please sit over there.”
In the blink of an eye, Melissa is in professor mode and gives instructions in a businesslike tone.
I coughed as if nothing had happened.
“Yes, Professor.”
“Hey, who is this? Aren’t you the hero who saved the capital!”
Holland jokes and greets you in the morning.
“Has anything happened at home?”
“No. Even though such a big disaster broke out, you don’t know how fortunate I am that my house is safe.”
I shook his hand lightly and looked back at Ann.
“Are you okay, Anne?”
“Yes. Thanks to our hero protecting us, we got along well.”
Today, she came out wearing thick makeup, which she didn’t normally do, and shed a strange smile.
She grabbed her hand to shake it, but she didn’t release it right away, and gently tickled the back of her hand with her thumb, leaving a strange aftertaste.
‘Are you tempting me?’
Melissa clapped her hands vigorously.
“Hey, it’s been a while since we all met. Let’s clear things up one by one. Oh, and Assistant Professor Naru, go to the president’s office after the meeting. The President is looking for you.”
“Me? What brings you here… “
Melissa smiles brightly.
“Of course you’re looking for something important, right?”
Maybe you want to become a professor?
