◈ Episode 018. How much does this cost? (3)
It may be surprising, but Valhalla has a very large site.
Therefore, there were many facilities within the large site, and among those facilities, many were built for the convenience of students and instructors.
And among those convenience facilities, of course, there were restaurants that were not regular student or instructor cafeterias.
“… … Was it somewhere like this?”
“Surely you didn’t know?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk muttered while eating the pasta in front of him, Liliya, who tilted her head and let her white bob hair fall to the side, asked.
“I’m not really interested.”
If he had nothing to do, he might have been interested in this.
The current Kim Joo-hyuk wasn’t extremely busy, but he had a lot to do.
‘Well, the food is delicious though.’
Thinking like that, Kim Joo-hyuk scratched his pasta and opened his mouth.
“So, what are the good benefits of being an assistant?”
The reason why Kim Joo-hyuk followed Liliya to the southern site where many convenience facilities are located.
It was to listen to Liliya’s proposal.
‘… … Well, it’s time for lunch, so I came here to pick up lunch.’
As a bonus, there was also the fact that Kim Joo-hyuk came to pretend to listen to what he had to say thanks to Liliya, who was constantly clinging to him and moving around, encouraging him persistently, regardless of whether Kim Joo-hyuk was exercising or not.
I had to eat, but it was okay to just listen to the story.
“First of all, there are many benefits!”
“What is it?”
“First, a scholarship! “That’s quite a lot!”
“What’s next?”
“Secondly, I can go out more than twice a week instead of once a month! “I have to use my strength for this, but I can do this without difficulty!”
“What’s next?”
“all… … next?”
“Yes, is there anything else?”
“Oh, no, there’s more… … ! That means you can get fame just by writing a thesis! With your knowledge, it wouldn’t be a problem to get your name on the World Monster Research Association, right? Plus, there’s a huge prize money… … !”
“Oh, I see. So what’s next?”
“All, next…” … ?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya rolled her eyes here and there for a moment as if she was thinking, and then spoke with a ‘!’ sign as if something had just occurred to her.
“Can you work with me?”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with an emotionless expression as he watched Liliya talking, pointing at herself with her finger.
“You are very self-conscious.”
Liliya, who looked momentarily upset at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, opened her mouth.
“why! “It’s okay for me!”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“So are you going to be my assistant?”
“no.”
“No, why on earth~”
Lily immediately clings next to me and starts whining.
Kim Joo-hyuk caught the eye of Kim Joo-hyuk holding his sleeves with his small hands and bouncing up and down, but unfortunately, he had no intention of taking on the role of assistant.
‘I thought about giving it a try if there was something useful among the benefits.’
Unfortunately, none of Liliya’s suggestions had benefits that appealed to Kim Joo-hyuk right away.
money?
Kim Joo-hyuk already had a lot of money in his market account, and in addition, there were artifacts that could enrich his life and make a lot of money just by selling one or two.
outing?
It might have been an interesting proposition if Kim Joo-hyuk had been thinking of consistently auctioning things at the market or going out often to dig up things, but he didn’t really want to do that.
‘Even if I do it, I have to make sure that my body doesn’t get pushed around.’
Moreover, being able to go out for about 2 days and 1 night a month was enough for him to do what he had planned for the future, so he wasn’t particularly attracted to going out often.
Then the last thing left is honor.
‘I don’t need this either.’
In the past, fame came along as he struggled to survive, so it wasn’t all that bad, but in fact, for Kim Joo-hyuk, it was okay to have fame but not have it.
In short, Liliya’s suggestions were all useless from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective.
‘I don’t know if it allows me to enter the eyes of the Great Forest.’
As far as Kim Joo-hyuk knew, Daesulim’s Eye was designed to only allow first-year performance evaluations, so it seemed like even instructor Liliya wouldn’t be able to let him in.
‘Tsk, in the past, I could just sneak in and out and no one would know.’
Kim Joo-hyuk secretly yearned for his own body from 300 years ago, but quickly shook his head.
He was reincarnated in a new body, and even if he missed the body from 300 years ago, that body did not suddenly return.
“anyway. “I have no intention of becoming an instructor’s assistant and writing monster papers.”
“Don’t do that, just this once!”
“no, I do not want.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s firm refusal, Liliya made a small noise as if she was intimidated, but soon opened her mouth.
“Then how about a deal!”
“… … “A deal?”
“okay! “I got some good information!”
“What information?”
“This is information about Choi A-rin, a student who goes with you!”
At Liliya’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled and shook his head.

Anyway, for him, information about Choi A-rin was something he was neither curious about nor did he want to know.
However, Liliya spoke rapidly before Kim Joo-hyuk even opened his mouth.
“From what I heard this time, Choi A-rin may be kicked out of the Choi Jin family after taking the upcoming selection test for the Choi Jin family!”
“Ah yes.”
“for a moment! “Why are you trying to get up!”
Lily opens her mouth as if she is embarrassed as she sees Kim Joo-hyuk waking up.
“I never said I wanted to hear it in the first place.”
“But you heard it!”
“I just heard it?”
“But in the end, what I heard was true!!”
“… … Are you really a kindergarten student?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Liliya seemed to pause for a moment and spoke in a somewhat cautious tone.
“… … “If you’re in kindergarten, would you like to be my assistant?”
“… … “Why on earth do you treat other students so harshly and do crazy things to me?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as if he did not understand, Liliya spoke as if it was obvious.
“Of course, it’s to increase the survival rate of students! “Especially for monsters, the more you know, the higher your survival rate is, but the kids don’t memorize them properly, so I have to force them to memorize them!”
“In one word, it’s a concept?”
“It’s not about conceptualizing, it’s about doing your duty as a teacher.”
What do you think, am I kind of amazing? Looking at Liliya, who had a confident expression on her face, Kim Joo-hyuk stood up, nodding his head unconsciously at her beliefs, which were more correct than he thought.
“Then let’s fight.”
“for a moment! Why are you trying to get up again!?”
“Because the story is over.”
“Then at least pay for the information!”
“Yeah, I hate it~”
####
Inside the store run by Morris in Market’s 3rd district.
Just a moment ago, Maurice was in a very good mood.
That’s because just the day before, he had made a huge profit thanks to a mysterious customer.
‘You can’t believe I bought a relic of destruction so cheaply.’
Of course, the price Morris paid was so large that other people would have heard it sound like hundreds of millions, but the relic of destruction he bought with that money was worth more than that.
Of course, even if this was someone’s stolen or stolen property, it had nothing to do with Morris.
In the first place, that’s what they handled here, and in this market, as long as they don’t turn away customers, the ‘market’ itself protects the merchants to a certain extent.
However, that good feeling was broken by a person who entered the store a little while ago.
“… … .”
Maurice asked, unconsciously breaking into a cold sweat as he looked at the big man who had come to his store for the first time in a long time.
“… … “What brings you here?”
“Hmm, were we really that awkward with each other?”
A voice accompanied by a round laugh.
However, Morris could not identify the owner of the voice.
Because his face, as he stands in the store right now, is covered by a dark-colored cat mask.
A cat mask that doesn’t seem to allow any light to pass through.
Maurice knew very well the androgynous-looking person underneath, wearing a black leather coat and punk-style clothes that seemed to match the market scenery.
“… … “No matter how many times we’ve seen each other, it’s impossible for a single merchant to lightly make fun of the market owner.”
Yes.
The unidentified cat mask standing in front of Morris right now was the owner of the market and was called ‘Black Cat’ by the employees.
widely-
Black Cat, who was sitting on a chair in front of the stand, soon continued talking.
“Well, I do like Mr. Morris in that respect.”
“… … So, what brings you here this time?”
“Are you still trying to get to the point? Well, actually, it doesn’t matter if we get straight to the point, so let’s talk about it.”
She said so and talked.
“Well, actually, it’s not that big of a deal. “For the first time in a while, you applied for an auction anonymously, so I looked at it and it turned out to be a relic from the Age of Destruction, right?”
“… … “There is no anonymization at all.”
“Well, after all, the owner of this market is not me, but my Constellation. “He can get everything he wants.”
Black Cat talking with a smile.
“… … So, are you really telling me to hand over the relics?”
“Of course not. Could it be that the owner of the market would take away goods like a bully without paying a fair price? “I just came here to take a look.”
“Looking at the relics… … ?”
Maurice frowned as if it was strange.
Clearly, relics from the era of destruction were valuable.
However, even so, Black Cat, the owner of this market, would not have come to see the relics from the era of destruction simply because he was curious.
‘… … There is something.’
Therefore, such a thought passed through Morrison’s mind instinctively, but he could not bring it out.
In any case, she is the owner of this market, and it would not be good for a single merchant to confront the owner of the market.
Therefore, he chose to show her the relic without much resistance.
“This is it.”
“oh.”
When Maurice took out the ring he had received yesterday from a locked dresser, Black Cat immediately picked it up to admire it with an interested expression.
Stop.
In an instant, his body stopped.
“… … “Have you checked everything?”
Morris, who was staring blankly at the Black Cat who had stopped, spoke with a puzzled expression when he saw him silently putting down the ring after some time.
“I think that will sell very expensively?”
“… … “Why are you suddenly saying that?”
Black Cat is.
“Of course.”
[The ruler behind the scenes looks shocked!]
[The ruler behind the scenes wants the ring in front of him!]

“Anyway, it seems like my Constellation wants this ring.”
After saying that, I broke into a cold sweat as I looked at the notification windows in front of me.
