Chapter 33. Should I be punished for spilling food?
Rabbing.
The wagon swayed wildly on the stone road.
“Ugh….”
As Eugene rode in the rattling carriage, her face was very pale, probably because she was not feeling well.
Jumping!
“Woo-wook….”
As the carriage rocked once, Eugene’s complexion turned pale as he grabbed the handle of the carriage.
“Are you okay?”
Tale asked worriedly at Eugene.
“It’s okay. Woo-wook….”
“I don’t think it’s okay. Shall we take a break for a while?”
“No. It will be the capital soon.”
Yes.
Tail and Eugene were on their way to the capital in their casual clothes.
That’s right, to take the entrance exam for Pharaon Academy.
Paraon Academy checks the level of potential from the beginning to produce the best talent.
The class is assigned to students who pass the entrance exam.
The dormitory said that if there are people who wish, they are assigned together respecting each other’s wishes, but if not, they are randomly assigned.
‘It would be nice to be in the same dormitory as Eugene.’
Because it would be more comfortable to be in the same room with close friends rather than strangers.
Tail glanced at Eugene, who had turned pale.
At that time, her expression brightened.
“Tail! Look over there!”
Tails looked out the window at Eugene’s cry.
There was an enormous wall there.
I could tell just by looking at her antique appearance and unusual size.
That we have finally arrived in the capital.
* * *
After a simple procedure, Tail and Eugene were able to enter the castle walls.
“Wow!”
Eugene’s eyes widened.
Colorful people hanging out with colorful streets.
Heterogeneous races such as elves, dwarves, and beasts can be seen here and there.
Spells that appear while flying in the sky or breathing fire.
It was like entering a real fantasy world.
“Awesome! Come to Tails!”
Eugene, who was excited about seeing the capital for the first time, grabbed her by the collar and ran in front of her.
“Yai! Go slow!”
It was then.
Took.
I brushed lightly with the woman wearing a black dress next to me.
At the same time, her purple hair fluttered in front of Tail’s eyes.
Even though I’m used to it.
I missed you.
The purple hair that drew her eyes.
Kung. Thud. Thud.
My heart was beating wildly.
Tails reflexively turned her head to find the woman.
But the woman with purple hair was nowhere to be seen.
As if it was just a fantasy.
Tale looked blankly in the direction where the woman had disappeared.
‘Obviously. It must have been Cecilia.’
I have a feeling.
I’m not sure, but for some reason, it seemed like Cecilia was nearby.
He seemed possessed, the moment he took a step.
“Tail! Why don’t you come like this?”
Yujin grabbed his arm.
“Uh…. Uh?”
Tale was startled as if he had just woken up from a dream.
“What is it? Why are you surprised What’s going on?”
At Eugene’s words, Tail shook his head.
“No. Nothing. Let’s catch an inn.”
“Yes! The entrance exam is tomorrow.”
The two went straight to a nearby inn.
* * *
The inn nearby was noisier than expected.
Tail and Eugene settled down in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn.
“What to eat? Tail. What do you want to eat?”
Yujin looked at the menu with an excited expression.
“Would you like to order one grilled fish and one pork to share?”
“Good.”
At Tail’s answer, Eugene immediately called an employee.
“With this. With this And two orange juices.”
“Okay. I’ll bring you a drink first.”
The employee disappeared.
Kikiiik.
The inn door opened and a small girl in a hood entered.
“Welcome!”
The innkeeper greeted her with a bright voice, and the girl walked in slowly.
Around that time, the waiter filled a barrel-like glass full of orange juice and placed it on Teil’s desk.
“Enjoy your meal! The food will be cooked soon.”
Three large men passed by the waiter.
“Yes! Thank you.”
It was when the waitress, who slightly bowed her head at Eugene’s greeting, turned around and three men passed by Tail.
Because of the crowd, the girl was pushed slightly.
“What!”
At the same time, the girl bumped into one of the three men.
It was a really slight bump, but the man staggered strangely.
“Ouch!”
It was really light, but the man grabbed his shoulder as if it had been dislocated.
“Ugh…. What’s this!”
The man shouted in pain.
Then he glared at the girl in the hood.
“Do you know how expensive I am?”
At that time, the girl wearing the hood slightly lowered the hood.
At the same time, pink curled hair and white skin.
I saw round pink eyes.
A girl of about 15, at most, seemed perplexed.
Her little lips opened.
“Ah. Sorry. Being pushed aside….”
“Sorry for the words, everything?”
The man shouted in a fit of rage.
“I need to pay for the treatment right away.”
“Treatment fee? Spirit. How much is it?”
The girl’s voice trembled when she was told to pay for her treatment.
The corner of the man’s mouth raised a grin.
And the other two colleagues next to me giggled.
Anyone could see that this was intentional.
But the girl was at a loss as if she didn’t know that.
Her man spoke to her like that.
“If you give me 100 crowns, I think I’ll feel better.”
People around me had their mouths wide open.
The average commoner’s daily wage is generally 30 crowns.
No matter how dislocated it is, it can be treated cleanly with 10 to 20 crowns.
But the girl held her breath with a worried look on her face.
“Whoops!”
The man’s expression hardened at the girl’s words.
“Is that really enough?”
“… What?”
The girl clapped her hands and said.
“You must have a kinder heart than I thought! He wants to receive less treatment.”
The man’s face hardened at the unexpected words of the girl.
“100 Crowns?”
“I know. Know. It’s the kind of heart that deliberately accepts less.”
The grinning girl was pulling out her pockets.
“Are you kidding me right now?”
The man’s voice boomed.
‘Ah. Noisy.’
Tayl, who was nervous, raised his glass once to drink the juice.
At that time, the man who was angry at the girl’s behavior moved his body roughly and bumped Tail’s back.
Chaw ah!
This caused the drink to be splashed on the floor.
“Tail! Are you okay?”
A flustered Eugene got up to go get toilet paper to deal with it.
Meanwhile, the man swung his fist at the girl, ignoring Tails.
“They don’t look at me as a woman!”
The girl just stared at that fist.
And just before her fist hit the girl’s head, someone grabbed the man’s fist.
“What?”
Her hands clenched into her fists were infinitely firm.
When his fist didn’t come out no matter how hard he tried, the man shot at his opponent.
“What are you interfering with… !”
At the same time, the opponent quickly pulled the man’s arm to keep him close to him, then lifted him up and carried him on his back.
f*ck!
I just slammed it on the floor.
“Cool! Cool!”
A dry cough came out of the man’s mouth.
The other comrades, taken aback by the incredible speed and power, froze for a moment before exclaiming.
“What are you doing here? Do you know that b*tch?”
My colleague’s words made the other’s eyes shine.
“I have to intervene.”
A gloomy voice pierced the ears of the man’s comrades.
“I dare to throw away half of my drink because of you guys.”
What a drink is 3 crowns!
I have another 3 crowns because of these guys.
“You are guilty of spilling food, so you should be punished?”
My opponent, Tail, grinned and warmed up.
It was only natural for the male colleagues’ faces to turn white.
* * *
“Thanks for your help!”
The girl bowed her head.
What. I didn’t move because I wanted to be helpful to him, but somehow it happened and Tails shut his mouth.
Meanwhile, the girl continued her words.
“Since I mostly live in the forest, the concept of money is a bit lacking.”
The girl laughed hohoho.
‘It’s not just that I’m lacking.’
Seeing that 100 crowns is small, it seemed that he really did not know the world.
‘What. He’s someone you won’t see anymore anyway, so it doesn’t matter.’
The girl smiled brightly and introduced herself.
“My name is Titina.”
“Ah. I am Eugene and this friend is Tail.”
Titina’s eyes twinkled at Eugene’s explanation at the same time.
“Looking at it earlier, you seem to have pretty good speed and strength…. Do you have another teacher?”
Tail shook her head at Titina’s words.
“I just practiced alone.”
“Whoa… !”
Titina’s eyes sparkled.
Her eyes ran all over Tail’s body.
“But why… ?”
“Looking at your posture earlier, you seem to have good overall basic skills, so I asked.”
Titina said with a broad smile.
“If you find a good teacher, you will probably be able to achieve great things.”
Until then, Tails had ignored her words.
She honestly wondered what a 15-year-old girl would know.
“I have an important coach tomorrow, so I have to take a break.”
She looked at Tails and Eugene one at a time as if regretting it.
“Next time I see you, I will help you.”
Titina said that and she went up to her room at the inn.
She didn’t know until then.
Tomorrow, Tails will see Titina again.
