chapter 71
71 – One Love

“Did you think of something that would appeal to him?”
“Yes.”
If he enjoys seeking rare items, he has an offer he will never refuse. The man who fiddles with the phone without asking further. Soon someone called.
-Oh you call me? How many years has this been?
A woman’s voice coming from the phone.
“If you’ve never called me separately, why are you talking like I’m not the only one?”
-hahahaha! Not really. So what’s going on?
“It’s not me who has business, it’s Yoo-won… Do you know?”
-Anyone I know… Are you talking about the hot academy students these days? I heard a video about subjugating an S-rank boss monster in one blow is going around.
“Yuwon is right. He wants to do business with you.”
-I received information about a close relationship with you. Does that seem to be true? Seeing that you, who hates me, introduces you directly.
It seems that the relationship between the two is not that good.
“That’s pointless. So what are you going to do?”
-Okay. At that age, it would have been impossible for even the man of The One to show such a performance, but I have no choice but to be interested in him. Change it
S-class on top of S-class, the only one on Earth who is called SS-class, ranked No. 1 The One. The owner of the black market who praised me by mentioning him.
I opened my mouth while receiving the phone from the man.
“I am Yuwon Kim, a freshman at Beatrice Academy.”
Although the man told me my name, I started with a self-introduction. It’s the basics of starting a conversation.
-I’m Seris, the owner of Black Market. Nice to meet you. Yuwon student.
“As the head of the Jin family said, I contacted you because I wanted to make a deal.”
– Great deal. But looking at the fact that he contacted me without asking the Yoo family, who can get almost any item or information, it seems that he needs something or information that ‘only I can get’?
It is a sharp reasoning as if he is not the owner of the black market for nothing. Seeing how he deliberately emphasized the phrase ‘only I can get it’, I could understand why he is called the best merchant.
“Looks like I don’t need to say it again. Yes. I want information on the seller of an item called Gungnir that the head of the family bought a while ago.”
-Oh… You know I’ve never sold the seller’s information to anyone, right?
“Yes.”
-The person next to me would have told me that it couldn’t be even with the corpse of a god or transcendence species, so he said he prepared more than that… Can you tell me what?
‘Bite the bait.’
I succeeded in drawing her interest, who said that she was not shaken by anything. Now it’s time to fret her with seasonings to keep her interested.
“This is a material that is difficult to explain in words. I will call the address. If you send someone there in an hour, I will send you a small part of the material. After that, you can choose whether or not to continue the transaction.”
-…Okay. What is it that makes you so confident?
After calling the address, I hung up and handed it to the man.
“Thanks. Thanks again.”
“Isn’t it natural for a disciple to help a master? This much is no big deal.”
‘Ah… That’s right.’
Come to think of it, didn’t it take me two months to decide whether or not to accept the man as a disciple? I had already received Gungnir, and at that moment, it was as if he became my disciple.
“That’s right. Master and disciple.”
From the moment I received Jin Baek-ryong as a disciple, no, from the moment my wives crossed the dimension, I expected that my peaceful daily life would be far from me.
It’s not a big deal to receive the family head of a teenage family as a disciple… It’s not a big deal, but I didn’t mean to say anything about it.
I have already received a lot of help and may find help in the future. For 17 years, I was lazy, I didn’t achieve anything, and I just lived.
Except for the absurdly accumulated various experiences compared to ordinary people, I still lack a lot and lack. Even after living for 137 years, he was a person who needed help from others.
Jin Soo-ho, who helped me like that, is already my person, and I have the ability to help Jin Soo-ho’s most desired military growth. I am not a person who cares about investing in something for my person.
Just as Ha-yeon taught me wholeheartedly, I will teach Jin Soo-ho as much as I can.
“Then, until we meet next week, I’ll be reviewing what I learned today. I don’t know what the situation is, but I hope it works out.”
“Thank you.”
Like that, leaving Jinsuho behind, I went to a tool store and bought glass bottles of different sizes to prevent spoilage. It was a vessel for my blood.
After putting everything in my inventory, when I got home, my wives were waiting for me. There was nothing good to see me shaking, so I acted as usual as much as possible.
“You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Gajoo, a nobleman, has been doing well in sparring? He seems to be a ludrick-level, sparring fanatic.”
“I don’t smell like a woman…”
Riera, who smells me as soon as I arrive, and two people who greet me. But Seung-ah doesn’t appear.
“What about Seung-ah?”
Ha-yeon’s expression becomes slightly pouty.
“Did the child’s whereabouts be asked as soon as he arrived? They said that her parents were calling.”
She sure doesn’t make sense that her daughter, who was living in a dorm, is out of school and she doesn’t come home at all. It was clear that she would be pranked on like, ‘Is it good that Yu-Won came over to sleep at her house?’
“Wait… That on her right arm..?”
Estelle made a very surprised expression.
The new Gungnir from the dungeon that Estelle and I entered together for the first time. I wore it every day until I gave it to Louisa, so it’s all the more strange that she doesn’t recognize it.
“It’s exactly what you think it is. The head of the Jin family has it.”
“What is that…?”
Riera opens her mouth as she looks at Gungnir on my wrist.
“It’s something I gave to a friend… In Estelle’s world. But it suddenly appeared in this world.”
“Doesn’t that mean that the friend who said he had the item is also likely to be here?”
Hayeon was right. I don’t know if she valued Gungnir, but since she honestly is an item that is impossible to lose, it is certain that this item has an owner on Earth.
“Right. So I’m trying to find a seller.”
I molded my bet into the shape of a sword and cut off my finger. The stamina level reached 99, so he had to use his energy to make his body tough enough that ordinary knives would not go into it.
After confirming that blood was coming out, I took out the smallest glass bottle from my inventory and put a drop of my blood in it. I know this has a very high value, but it’s an ambiguous amount that can’t be used anywhere.
This of her will tantalize her more.
“Why did you suddenly put blood in it?”
Maybe it’s because everyone’s body has been through a lot before and after childbirth, even a few drops of blood doesn’t change their eyes.
“Since I took the elixir the other day, my body has become very valuable. So I think I can give my body to save it.”
“The tone is a bit strange…”
Isn’t it wrong to say that I give my body? Not long after the blood was poured in, the doorbell rang. It seems that Seris’s servants have come to receive the goods.
When I opened the door, a gray-haired old man was standing in front of him.
“I’m here to pick up something.”
“Here it is. It is very precious, so bring it carefully.”
“Don’t worry.”
An old man disappears into the shadows.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.’
In any world, there are those who use the ability of shadows, and of course there are those who hide in the shadows and move. It’s a skill that I couldn’t learn because it didn’t fit me, so it’s a new feeling.
The moment I went back inside, Estelle was standing in the doorway.
“Brother, talk to me for a minute.”
Yes. Because you’re the only one who can talk about Ruina.
“I’d like to talk to you two for a while, okay?”
Estel looks back and asks the other wives.
“Do it yourself.”
“Yes.”
It wasn’t people who would give permission like this, but something happened in a flash.
“Come in.”
“Yes…”
For some reason, the coercive Estelle grabbed my wrist and dragged me to her room. In the room I entered, Estelle sat me on the bed and started talking to me.
“Why do you look so bad?”
“Is it obvious..?”
“Extremely. Seriously, those two would have allowed us to be alone without interfering in any way. Wasn’t it strange that everyone treated us as usual?”
I hid it, but I didn’t expect it to be discovered so easily. After all, you can’t hide something in front of these people. Even when I was in a bad mood, I was even considerate.
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
“I wonder if it’s okay for me to try to find Ruina.”
“Why. Because of her brother’s rejection of her Louisa confession?”
‘How do you know that…?’
I never told you.
“It looks like you know how you know. After the girl who showed off how much she liked her brother suddenly disappeared, there’s no way we didn’t know without even contacting us. Since her brother didn’t bother talking about it, I didn’t even ask. I was noticing.”
‘Everybody knew except me…’
I am a real asshole. I was the only one who didn’t know that Louisa liked me.
“Brother, but you know what?”
“What?”
“An elf only loves once in a lifetime.”
“What..?”
This is a story I’ve never heard of.
