64 – Yes. We are newlyweds.

Sharon said nothing.

“…….”

No. It would be the right expression to say that I lost my mind.

Ian just passed Sharon, who was staring blankly into space.

Two days later. Weekend.

Rumor has it that Sharon Pierce has disappeared from her academy.

[ Sylvia ] : I found out where Miss Sharon went.

[Ian]: Where?

[Sylvia] : The Northern Duchy. It’s St. Gregory’s Sabbath soon anyway, so the academy doesn’t seem to have any plans to respond.

It must have been quite a shock.

Okay. Ratings results in the worst, up to a rout in the Disciplinary Committee.

‘Did he go home after all?’

Even in the game, it was expected because it was an event that occasionally occurred when the so-called ‘Raising Sharon Pierce’ failed.

I felt a little pity for her enemy or whatever. Even in that huge mansion, there wouldn’t be a place for Sharon to stay. The only place Sharon Pierce can comfortably lay her body, both figuratively and literally, is on the path of the sword.

Ian temporarily stopped worrying about Sharon Pierce, who had already left and would soon meet again.

Right now, however, there are other issues that are more urgent than Sharon Pierce.

Right money.

Time melts and disappears in an instant due to incidents occurring every day and the need to train.

And to Ange Lee, ‘time is money’ literally.

A debt borrowed by Pongpong for a black fight.

Because a huge amount of interest is paid every month.

I need a lot of money to pay it back.

Of course, it would have been overwhelming for an ordinary person, but Ian is different.

Because I knew the name of a company that would show explosive returns in the future.

Now is the time to really buy the stock of ‘the company’.

[ Ian ] : Oh, and can you recommend a guild for stock trading?

[Sylvia] : Stock? As for superior securities, the ‘Standard & Riches’ branch is located on the East Gate side. For small and medium-sized technology, the ‘All Continental Securities Association’ is good. It’s on the north gate.

[ Ian ] : Thank you

… So, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a relaxing weekend.

Ian arrived at North Town, the downtown area of the north gate of the academy.

— This train will arrive at Northtown 11th Street Station shortly after. The area around the station is complicated, so look left and right…

Befitting the district north of the academy with many good value-for-money shops, ‘North Town’ was bustling with many people and various shops.

The first place Ian headed was the bank.

[ Charles Bancorp Liechten Branch ]

Judging by the notice attached to the door of the accommodation, this is Pongpongi’s main bank.

As expected, a female employee welcomed me.

“It’s been a while, Ian Black Angus. Please come over and have a seat.”

It was only natural that the staff welcomed Ian.

Ian is a good customer of the bank.

There are various loan programs for academy cadets in Liechtenian banks.

Even the interest rate is quite low compared to the general public.

This is possible because the academy provides some guarantees and support.

If you look at the principal amount of Lee An’s debt and the interest he pays every month, he’s not a VIP, but he’s a good customer.

“I will repay interest and part of the principal.”

“…Yes?”

A surprised employee.

“This is the first time I’m repaying the principal. Hold on…”

Pongpong must have been busy groping the heroines. If I had borrowed more money, I would have borrowed it, but I wouldn’t have repaid it.

I wonder if the surprising thing is that he still paid the interest on a regular basis.

The bank clerk put something in the magic engineering crystal ball.

A crystal ball that will soon glow green.

“Huh? Rate adjustment?”

Staff muttered to himself as if he was perplexed.

She opened her mouth with a shy smile.

“Congratulations. Recently, due to Ian’s reputation, the interest rate has been lowered due to partial repayment of the principal. The monthly interest payment… Has been reduced by about 30 percent.”

“Thank you.”

Ian smiled.

As expected, this is no different from a game.

All judgment standards for banking operations are made through that crystal ball.

And one of the easiest ways to reduce the loan interest rate is to meet the conditions of ‘reputation increase’ and ‘partial repayment of principal’.

I came here wondering if it would happen, but it worked, so it’s a benefit.

‘… Is this a good thing?’

From noble mtl dot com

For some reason, you seem to like it because the burden has eased by paying off someone else’s debt.

Swipe.

Ian shook his head.

Let’s think positively.

Above all, I’ll be able to pay off this huge debt soon anyway.

“Do you have any work to do?”

“Yes. I’d like to take out an additional loan now.”

“… Huh?”

The employee, taken aback by Ian’s words, asked back.

Making money in stocks is simple math.

If you increase 100,000 won a hundred times, it is 10,000,000 won.

However, 10 million won is 100 million won even if it goes up 10 times.

The story is that if there is no money in hand, even if there is a high rate of return, it is useless.

That was the reason Ian decided to take out an additional loan.

Fortunately, the loan limit was still available, and the amount I could borrow was appropriate.

One gold coin.

In modern terms, it would be around 10 million won.

‘At this point, this level of investment would be appropriate.’

If you buy too much at once, there is a possibility that your future will be turned upside down.

“Please come again next time, customer.”

That’s how I headed for the Securities and Exchange Association.

[ All Continental Securities Association ]

The building of the association was quite large.

A stylish building that feels like a large art museum.

The staff sitting at the information desk look this way suspiciously. Maybe one of the younger students thinks they’ve gone the wrong way.

“The entrance fee to the exchange is 1 silver.”

100,000 Won for entrance only. It wasn’t a waste of money, but Ian offered the money without saying anything. Because my pockets are tight now.

The atmosphere of the staff changed in an instant.

“The current density is high, so you need to wait for a while. I’ll take you this way.”

I arrived at the waiting room following the guidance of the staff.

A wide view of the main trading floor of the exchange through the glass window.

With the sense of openness given by the high ceiling, the large pillars caught my eye.

And on the papers attached around the pillars, things like numbers are constantly moving. In front of it, people were eagerly placing orders over the phone, being happy or frustrated.

“We guide you in the order you arrived. Please wait a moment.”

Ian quietly leaned his back on the luxurious chair.

As expected, it is an exchange where a lot of money comes and goes.

It seems that everything goes back to the logic of money.

Since the guild to buy is already decided, there is nothing to worry about.

To look around in a comfortable position.

“…?”

Beautiful hair with a translucent golden glow under white lighting. Purple eyes flashed past the sunglasses. And cat-like eyes.

It was Sylvia Laurent.

At the end of her waiting room, she is gazing blankly at the distant mountains with a brim hat pressed down like that of an aristocratic lady.

She must have said she was busy today.

Why are you sitting there?

Her Ian crept up to her side of her.

“…Sylvia?”

“Wow!”

“What are you doing here? I heard you’re busy with work at the Laurent Merchant.”

“Shh! Speak quietly. This place has a lot of stake in Raymond’s side, so it’s embarrassing if you find out.”

She glances around through stylish yellow polarized sunglasses.

As she looked at it, she became even more curious.

“Are you sure you came here to see me?”

“Yes… Yes? Mu, what! You’re so self-sufficient. I, a busy person like me, managed to sneak up here just to see you…!”

Um. Would that be too?

When we shared Kirtok in the morning, she must have been a little mistaken because she seemed to want to meet her for some reason.

Still, isn’t it too painful to say that I’m self-sufficient?

She was going to buy me a cup of tea to thank the disciplinary committee for helping me, but I’ll do that later.

“Sorry. I must have misunderstood.”

“Of course! By the way, there’s no reason to be sorry… I’m sorry, too. I was so flustered that I was speechless. Anyway, I didn’t really come to see Mr. Lee, so I had a job just in time? Seriously. Sometimes things like this happen sometimes. Do you think there are times when it happens…? Really?”

Sylvia actively defended herself, even using her hand gestures. I don’t know what she’s defending against, but…

“Okay.”

Sylvia looked this way, doubtful even after trying to answer.

“It’s real. Tta, you didn’t come here to see Kirtok, you just came here because you thought of something to see?”

“Okay.”

Hey! Sylvia, with her arms crossed, turns her head around and she mumbles.

“But I’ve got a little time left, I guess? I can give you some guidance.”

To think there was just that much time left.

The timing seems amazingly good.

Ian nodded her head.

Just in time, an employee arrives.

“You must be an acquaintance. I will guide you along.”

It was quite a distance from the waiting room to the headquarters of the exchange.

As I walked down the aisle following the staff, I started to feel the heat. From afar, the sound of shouting comes in from time to time.

– Did I say that the stock went up today?

– Go. Goes. Goaaa

– This XX! Delisting? That’s a good stock! He said you’re a good stock.

As if embarrassed by the loud noises, the staff asked a question.

“By the way, how’s your relationship going?”

Ian and Sylvia were embarrassed at the same time.

She has to hide her identity from Sylvia because she didn’t have the right words.

Fortunately, the staff guessed it.

“They must be newlyweds.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

At a time like this, if you reply late, it only raises suspicion.

Ian took it and ate it.

“Huh?”

On the other hand, Sylvia is making strange noises.

Hmm. Why is he like this when he’s not such a quick-witted kid? Seeing that the ear lobe is also red, is there a fever?

A staff member looking at us suspiciously.

Ian asked Sylvia, acting a warmth that she did not have.

“Are you alright?”

“Hey.”

Sylvia sat down in her seat.

It seemed that his legs had lost strength.
