There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 34

13. Daily Changes (2)

She was a really young girl. Last time, it was found in Hyunmu Forest, but this time in the city, and also at a Korean restaurant.

It’s almost like a random encounter, right?

“Sanwoo-sama, did you even know Illyana-senpai?”

Taehoon asked, surprised by Iliana, who greeted warmly by waving her hand.

“No, um… huh. How did you find out? But you’re an Arin undergraduate? Isn’t Illyana Ortana?”

“I, Arin, is a minor.”

Illyana answers my questions instead. Oh, and alchemy is at the master level, but there is no way it can only be in Ortana.

Right now, I’m not the only one thinking about choosing Arin as a minor.

There was no reason why Iliana, who had been a master alchemist since her sophomore year, didn’t want to take a few more subjects.

“By the way, why did you come here to eat…?”

Half-artel is eaten by rubbing sesame oil on gondre rice. Hey, this is really precious.

But contrary to expectations, Illyana shook her head.

“no.”

“Eh?? So, are you even working part-time here?”

“no.”

So what the hell is it?

When I made a face that I couldn’t understand, Illyana continued speaking in her characteristic soft voice.

“I just followed. I saw Sanwoo.”

“No…? What does that mean?”

“What’s wrong?”

She spit those words out casually, and naturally took the seat next to me.

Taehyung opens his mouth wide and looks at me. It was obvious what he was thinking without looking at it.

“I didn’t know that Sanwoo had so many women.”

“Uh-huh, you’re being harsh. It’s not like that. Illyana just got to know each other by chance.”

“Is that so?”

Suspicion rises in Taehyung’s eyes. He took his gaze away from me only after I raised my hand in denial.

“Because this guy is a geek. It was like this last time.”

“It certainly feels like Illyana-senpai is a bit cryptic.”

“But Sanwoo, who is this person?”

Illyana, who was sitting quietly next to him, looked at Taehoon and asked.

“Yes? Don’t you remember me?”

I used to know each other before.

This time, as I looked at him with a questioning look, Tae-hoon started to wake up Illyana’s memories in a hurry.

“I’ve seen them a few times at school…”

“Um, I don’t know.”

“Didn’t you say that the white uniform is amazing! Arin training ground!”

Kim Tae-hoon beats his chest with an unjust expression on his face.

Illiana rolled her eyes, wondering if it was pity that she looked at her any more. He seemed to be trying hard to recall the memories.

As she quietly shook her head, she quickly held out her index finger as if she had remembered something.

“Aha. I remembered. There was also a girl next to me.”

“That’s right! You remember!”

“I didn’t hear it then. Name.”

“My name is Taehoon! Illyana-senpai!”

“Just call me Illyana.”

She was a really weird girl. One character’s surname is certain, but it’s a feeling that people around you can’t say that it’s really good.

“The meal you ordered is here.”

When the food arrived just in time, the savory aroma of gondre rice tickled the tip of his nose. The rice is also very well cooked, and it looks very delicious.

“Wow.”

“How are you? Did you have a good time coming? Besides rice, they also sell alum.”

“It’s nagging to say two things. I’ll have to come here often.”

I smiled with great satisfaction and lifted up a spoonful of rice. When you put it in your mouth, the breath comes out immediately.

“Why doesn’t Iliana eat?”

“It’s been a while since I ate. Full.”

… … It seems that they were really following me as soon as they saw me while taking a walk.

“Ah, I thought I was going to find you.”

“Huh? Me??”

“Yes, I was wondering if you could tell me about alchemy.”

As I said every time, there are three ways to increase stats without using the status window in Paradise Academia.

Tempal, potion, and finally training.

training is sure The more you train and exercise, the more you can feel the improvement of your physical ability, and the more you focus on class, the richer your knowledge will be.

However, the problem was that it required constant time and effort.

In terms of efficiency, it is not comparable to farming an appropriate item or doping with potions.

That is why equipment and potions are very important in my future activities-

I can’t help but use Illyana, a master level alchemist.

Just as the fire powers were inherited from Camilla, with Illyana alone, she would be able to learn alchemy without going to Ortana.

“A potion making?”

“Yes, you are correct. If possible, I would like to choose Arin Faculty as a minor in the second semester. But then you will not be able to learn alchemy.”

Frankly, that’s a good reason. If Illyana asked for anything in return, I was also planning to provide it as much as I could.

But again, she gave an unexpected answer.

“Can’t we do all three?”

“Keck, Keck!!”

Taehyung’s eyes met. The guy let out a painful cough as he turned over the rice.

“Ahaha, it’d be perfect to collapse from overwork. How do I do that? Even Illyana can’t do it!”

“That’s right.”

Innocent without any malice, surprisingly, scratch people’s nerves.

What is this mysterious personality that is neither overly offensive nor naturally cute?

The more I looked, the more mysterious she was.

in a slightly different sense.

“So you mean you don’t want to?”

“No. I like it. Alchemy, I’ll tell you.”

It was this and that

Was the Artel family originally like this?

There are a lot of Artels in Arin’s Faculty, but if everyone feels like this, I think it’s going to be quite a headache.

“What do you think of the conditions?”

“Condition?”

“For example, paying a certain amount of Kelly per episode, providing alchemy materials…”

If anything comes, there must be something that goes. Even Camila, who has built a strong trusting relationship, has a reasonable relationship with each other… … .

No, I honestly couldn’t say it was reasonable.

Still, it was kind of a deal.

Camilla was like this too, let alone Iliana, who has not yet been properly acquainted, so it is of course better to approach it as a thorough business.

“Well, something like this. If you want other conditions, please tell me.”

As soon as Iliana heard my offer, she answered without hesitation.

“No need. I’ll just tell you.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

You said that you would provide the know-how of a master-level alchemist in this way? This is almost service level, isn’t it?

“Instead, let’s gather materials together.”

“…?”

“Hyunmu Forest. Alchemy materials must also be gathered.”

“Oh, that’s about it, of course.”

It’s win-win. Alchemy training was also increased by gathering materials.

And in Hyunmu Forest, monsters appear. It was clear that it was much safer to accompany Artel, a favorite of the forest, than to wander around alone.

I reached out to Illyana to prove that the deal had been made.

She stared at my hand, then squeezed it tightly.

“Then when do we start?”

“Anytime. Come to me with the breath of the World Tree. I’m leaving now.”

With those words, Illyana stood up and walked out of the gun shop.

Taehoon walks so fast that he can’t even say hello.

“…I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“I agree.”

* * *

A dessert shop in the western part of Paradise Island, Central Terrier.

There were a lot of people because it wasn’t a store that someone just opened.

It seemed that everyone, like Camilla and Soyoung, came for dessert right after dinner.

They were lucky enough to get a seat by the window, and ordered a variety of desserts by type.

“Come on, eat as much as you want. This is what I shoot.”

“Wow, thank you. Camila-sama!”

Camilla Lilly smiled brightly as she looked at Yoon So-young, who was happy.

Geumgangmun and Hwagwonryu maintain a pretty close relationship.

Each year, for the purpose of cultural exchange and friendship, they sent their own students, and they often cooperated in external events.

I don’t know why I forgot the existence of the two for a while, I don’t even know why… … .

She was recently admitted to Paradise School and had a lot of trouble with her family, so she thought it might be the case and left it.

“By the way, you said you had something to say? What is that?”

Yoon So-young asked while cutting the delicious fresh cream cake.

This time, many things happened to Camila. So-young was sure that it must be the reason why she pointed out herself and not Tae-hoon.

“Ah, ah, ah! That’s it.”

However, Camilla’s reaction was strange. She hesitated, seemingly ashamed of something, and finally opened her mouth.

“You know that? Sanwoo saved me.”

“Yeah, it’s very popular. It’s a riot in our grade.”

As Soyoung responds with a grin, Camilla’s face turns bright red.

Camilla already knows how her story is spreading.

Whenever his friends questioned the truth, he vehemently denied it, but there was no way to stop the rumor that had already spread rapidly.

So now, I was just half giving up.

‘Even though it’s exaggerated, it’s not really wrong… … .’

Thinking like that, the image of San-woo, who saved him from the threshold of death, came to my mind again.

It was so embarrassing that Camilla had no choice but to bow her head.

“No, that’s why. I want to express my gratitude for something…. Did you bring me a lunch box last time? But don’t you think this is not enough?”

Camila, who struggled to avert her gaze, was cute, and Soyoung smiled and nodded.

“I do.”

“What kind of gift would you like?”

“Have you ever given a present to someone else, Camilla?”

“no…….”

As the only blood relative of the Hwagwon-ryu family, she was always in the position of receiving gifts, not giving them.

Although given several times, the subject was of the same sex, and had never been of the opposite sex.

“Ugh~~.”

Soyoung folded her arms and carefully observed Camilla’s behavior. She has always been good at understanding people’s intentions.

Tae-hoon always burns with a sense of justice and likes face-to-face confrontation, but So-young, on the other hand, grasps all the available elements and analyzes the opponent’s psychology to find gaps.

So she could easily grasp the emotions Camila had hidden inside her.

‘Sanwoo-nim is concerned.’

So-young knows what that feeling is. Because she also had a crush.

“Do you want something good or something exciting?”

“Huh?! What does that mean?”

“It means you have to choose whether it’s going to end up as a way to say thank you to a friend, or if it’s going to appeal to you.”

Soyoung’s eyes are curved in hope. Camilla knows the meaning of that expression.

Camila let out a silent scream as her face burned with the scorching heat.

“No! It’s like that!”

“Ah~ It’s difficult to admit it in the first place, but once you start admitting it, it’s out of control~.”

“Because it’s not real!”

A strong negative is a positive. Soyoung nodded her head lightly, as if she knew everything.

In fact, a gift is more like a sign of surname in the end, whatever its value.

So, in some cases, a gift with sincerity is more effective than dazzling jewels.

Come to think of it, I heard that here in Paradise School there is something like an informal event that is passed on among students.

Is your name Valentine?

Yoon So-young’s eyes lit up. She said confidently, bringing the cake in front of her to her mouth.

“Camila, you must trust me completely.”
