I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

282.How Much Does It Cost?(1)

“Did everyone pack their bags well?”

“Yes!”

Everyone’s hands are full.

Well, it was natural.

Since I would have to live in the capital of the empire for over a month, I had to pack all my homework, clothes, and valuables that needed to be completed during the vacation.

“Karina. Black hair suits you too.”

“Really?”

“I guess I’ll have to stick next to it all day to avoid getting caught by flies.”

Karina smiled as if she liked my compliment. It was a fatal smile that could never be hidden just by changing her hair and eye color.

“Then I will take the portal and go to the capital.”

We moved to the entrance of a tunnel that had been previously dug in a corner of Yeomyeonggwan. The hole was rather large as two-digit people had to enter, and lamps installed in every corner were softly lighting the passage.

“No one will believe me if I tell them that there is an underground passage like this under the academy, right?”

“But wouldn’t some people know? Martina or something… “

“Now that I think about it, it’s been quite a while since I haven’t seen Martina.”

No, don’t look at me like that. I’m not a dog in heat and I’m not suddenly looking for more women. I don’t have any feelings for her.

“…Don’t look at me with such eyes. Do I look like the kind of person who carelessly invites people in?”

“…For just saying that, there are already 4 people…”

“That’s right! “I think there will be more than 10 people like this!”

“If you’re a contractor, it might be possible!”

Where on earth is my image going? I sighed and gave Millia a blow to the head.

“It hurts!”

“Don’t say anything strange. “I’m satisfied with just you guys.”

“…Right?”

“…If you come to your senses, I don’t think it would be strange if there were more women next to you.”

Viola, what do you mean? I’m not a libertine. If things continue like this, rather than dying fighting with the foreign media, I think I will be ‘shared’ by the girls.

No matter how much I divide my country, I can’t survive the ending, so I really had no intention of increasing my number of lovers.

I was really scared of the future if I increased it any further than this, and I didn’t think there would be anyone who would like me past these four beauties.

“…You know if I make Karina angry, right?”

“I am not a womanizer.”

“I think he’s already become something beyond a playboy.”

Viola snapped at her face, expressing her astonishment. I guess I’m in a bad mood today.

If…

“John John! But where do you sleep when you go to our capital?”

“Hmm… Now that I think about it, it seems a bit odd to stay at a duke’s house with this many people.”

I squeezed gently the heavy money bag hanging on my waist. This pleasant touch. It’s finally time to spend this money.

“Let me find a mansion to stay in while I’m in the capital.”

“Yes?”

“What?”

I looked around at my group who were surprised by my words and shrugged my shoulders.

“Money is there to be spent.”

—————

“Welcome. Sir Quartz.”

After all, you have to become famous. I glanced past the eyes focused on me and checked each of my companions coming through the portal.

Karina, Millia, Elisa, Sif, Viola, Luis, Shuri, Lue, Leni. Lulu, Terry.

When a total of 12 people, including me, came over, exclamations of exclamation erupted from everywhere.

Because all the people who came over were striking beauties.

Naturally, when Elisa and Karina took up my arms, their eyes turned to me. As we looked around as a warning, the gazes directed at us disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.

And then a middle-aged man with a clean top of his head came up to me and said hello.

“My name is Kongru, leader of the wizard guild in the Imperial Capital.”

…It’s a unique name.

“It is an honor to meet the famous Sir Quartz.”

“This is a huge compliment.”

“Haha, you are humble. “The procedures have already been completed, so you can leave right away.”

I have a hard time getting used to a man who seems to be twice my age treating me with respect and being polite.

Still, I received quite a few benefits thanks to this fame, so it wasn’t a bad thing to be honest.

“Then proceed carefully. Sir Quartz.”

“Please ask again when I return. Mr. Kongru.”

We left the wizard’s guild and entered the capital’s main street.

When I glanced at the back of the car to check the number of people, I noticed that most of the group had never been to the capital before, so they were looking at the capital with their mouths open like villagers who had come to Seoul from the countryside.

“Wow…”

“This is the most gorgeous city on the continent…”

“It’s so amazing…”

“What you see in the distance is the imperial palace, right?”

“Okay.”

“Hehe, I guess this is everyone’s first time.”

Oh, now that I think about it, how many times has Karina been here?

“Everyone pay attention.”

I spoke to the children who lined up and looked at me like baby ducks following their mother duck.

“I’m sure I’ll get tired of looking around the capital, so let’s go to Duke Ryan’s first place. Did you understand? Don’t ever do that because you may fall off without a second glance. Sif. “Take care of your younger siblings so they don’t fall out.”

“Okay! Lulu, Terry. Did you hear what John said? It shouldn’t fall?”

“Yes!”

“I have to stick with Yohan~”

“Can’t we take a look first?”

“Can’t be done.” I’ll let you enjoy the sights later, so bear with me for now. “It’s already drawing too much attention.”

Should I at least buy the kids hats to cover their faces? Look at the guys pretending not to be there and looking at them.

I glanced at Elisa, took my eyes off the man who had been stabbed in the back by a woman who I did not know was his lover or wife her, and started walking in the direction of the Duke’s house. Br﹥

The Wizard’s Guild and Duke Ryan’s mansion are not far away, so we were able to walk for about 15 minutes to reach the Duke’s main gate.

“Lord Quartz. “What brought you here?”

“Tell Lord Kalinz that I came to discuss something with you.”

“I understand.”

As expected, it’s a bit more comfortable since I’m a familiar driver. I spoke to the children standing in silence behind me while a young knight opened the door and went inside to deliver the message.

“You can’t make too much noise in the Ryan duchy. Did you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Haha, you brought a lot of guests this time.”

“I want to take you on a tour of the capital.”

“He also has good abilities.”

“If you can catch one devil, you can do it too.”

“Haha, I’ll just live like this.”

How long had it been since we were killing time by joking with the guard? The guard inside came towards us and shouted.

“Please come in!”

“Welcome to House Ryan. Sir Quartz. And… The companions.”

The huge gate, large enough for two carriages to pass side by side, opened wide and the luxurious mansion of the Duke of Ryan was revealed to us.

“It’s amazing…”

“Wow, it’s a huge building…”

“How much money does it take to build a mansion like this?”

While listening to the sentiments coming from behind, I took the lead and entered the mansion.

————

“It’s been a long time.”

“It’s been four months. How have you been?”

“I am always the same.”

“Hello!”

“A long time. Amy.”

“There are so many people! Is it a party?”

Amy, who was waving her hand at me while being held in Master Kalintz’s arms, asked me with her curious face. I shook my head quietly and answered Amy’s question.

“No, they are students who came to tour the capital.”

“Is that so?”

“Hehe, it seems surprising that our Amy has so many people.”

“This is the first time we’ve had so many people come to our house!”

Her face is melting

I looked at Kalintz, who liked Amy’s killer cuteness, for a moment, then quietly cleared my throat.

“Hmm.”

“This old man was the one to blame. Yes, it looks like you need a place to stay during your debutante period.”

“That’s right. Could you please introduce me to a nice mansion? “At this time, I am planning to purchase a mansion in the capital.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to stay in this mansion?”

“No. First of all, I have work to do, so not only do I have to go out often, but it is also good for me to set up a base in the capital to prepare for future work. “You can’t be indebted to the dukedom forever, right?”

“Mansions in the capital are expensive.”

“Can you tell me how much it costs to purchase a suitable mansion?”

“Hmm…Even if I can’t do it, it will cost 10,000 gold coins.”

“Ah, it’s cheaper than I thought.”

Since it is the best city on the continent, I thought I would get around 20,000 basic gold coins… It’s cheaper than you think.

“What?”

“I think that’s enough to get it.”

“…You’re richer than you think.”

“Because there are many ways to get money.”

He had to have a lot of money because he received support from Principal Merlin, he had a prosthetic arm project, and the owner of the Dern Merchant Marine Company gave him a generous reward for saving his life.

“Then I will have my butler look for a suitable property. “Let’s rest in this mansion for a few days.”

“Then, please excuse me.”

“There is no need for greetings between us. Isn’t it between you and me? Although it may not be as good as Yeomyeonggwan, I will tell you so that you can have a satisfactory time. Of course, the saintess too.”

The corners of his wrinkled eyes are folded playfully.
