A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

087. dealer’s lie

A room in a hotel.

“Then, we will carry out the operation to make Narsha and Sirian a couple!”

The female students applauded Lisbet’s declaration.

Only two of them expressed skepticism.

“Did you really have to kidnap me like this just for that reason?”

Trine was tied tightly to the rope, struggling and grumbling.

“If you’re going to blame, blame yourself for needlessly discovering us.”

“Anyway, you guys really…”

“Anyway, no one is against it, right?”

Then the creeping voice responded.

“I am against it…”

He looks as dissatisfied as Trine,

A female student was even tied up with ropes alongside Trine.

It was Narsha herself.

“It’s noisy! In the end, you have no right to speak since you couldn’t even properly deliver the confession letter to Sirian!”

“I told you I would take care of it soon.”

“Do you realize that you’ve been saying that for a month now?”

“But-”

“Then everyone get ready, and you, Trine, go back first and wait. When the signal is given, act according to the plan.”

Trine was troubled for a moment.

First of all, senior Myung-yoon said that there was no way Gohyeop would touch anyone other than Trine.

What he is most wary of is having his dogmatism discovered by other gods.

Besides, Trine said it would be safer to move with other friends.

‘Yuril also has a conference starting today, so it will be difficult to meet him for a while.’

In the end, Trine decided to follow these women’s rhythms for the time being.

Trine glanced at Narsha and whispered.

“Good luck with this.”

“eww…”

***

Tens of minutes later.

When the male students rushed out of the hotel,

Sia and Narsha ran into them under the pretense of coincidence.

Sirian frowned and asked the two.

“What? Why are you here?”

“Oh, brother! What a coincidence!”

“Well, that’s right. You guys came here to play too.”

“When you call me oppa, it means you have a plan.”

“Hehe, what do you mean? Are you just being generous because it feels good?”

“Besides, why are you alone with Narsha…”

Prince Sir’an was a man with quite outstanding sense and intuition.

“Are you sure that besides you two, all the other girls came too?”

“eww…”

However, the flaw was that sometimes it failed to grasp the essence of the problem and made incorrect inferences.

“You guys came to hang out as a group because it was so weird that only guys came to hang out, right?”

“Ah, yes… let’s put it that way.”

“Hmph. That’s childish.”

To be honest, Sia hoped that Sirian would notice and escort Narsha.

Therefore, I was on the verge of losing even the slightest amount of favor I had due to his absurd conclusion.

In any case, girls who no longer had any hidden meaning came rushing in.

And soon, it was back to the usual scene of the knight department classroom.

“Did you guys come to Odd Ball too?”

“What a disgusting coincidence.”

“Barbara, please lend me some sunscreen.”

“Instructor Elroy will get upset again if he finds out we’re all here.”

Prince Sir’an said to Sia.

“We’re going to the amusement park. Where are you guys going?”

“We were going to go there too, but it worked out! Let’s go together.”

“Don’t be funny. Even if I go, I will act differently.”

Lisbeth sent a urging signal to Trine with her eyes.

In the end, Trine reluctantly spoke to Prince Sirian.

“What do you think? Since we’re already here, let’s all move together.”

“Wasn’t this trip just a friendship trip between men?”

“Anyway, there are still four days left. It would be okay to set things aside for one day.”

Sirian glared at Trine for a moment, then

“Tsk. I’ll allow it especially for you and Sia.”

“Thank you so much.”

So, we all headed to the nearby amusement park ‘Altoro Land’…

“are you kidding.”

Siran was irritated by the ‘Temporary Holiday’ sign posted at the entrance.

Then, a woman who appeared to be an employee bowed down with an apologetic expression.

“Sorry! Due to equipment safety inspection issues, we have decided to close for today only.”

“I can’t help it.”

“Instead, I’ll give you a discount coupon, so be sure to come back tomorrow!”

Sirian snatched the coupon and asked the other kids.

“What should I do?”

Ziz quickly shouted.

“Let’s go to the casino! Casino!”

Then the girls murmured with disapproving expressions.

“A casino in broad daylight like this?”

“Weren’t minors prohibited from entering in the first place?”

“They say you can have fun with fake chips as long as you don’t bet money…”

However, since the men do not show much opposition,

In the end, the women reluctantly decided to follow.

***

So everyone returned to the hotel and headed to the underground casino.

Then they split into several mixed groups and started walking around.

At first glance, it seemed like everyone was behaving as they pleased, but

“Oppa Sirian! Senior Narsha! Let’s go together!”

“Ziz! I’ll keep an eye on you so you don’t do anything stupid, so come with me!”

“Mekhail, Ranken, do you want to compete with us?”

Trine was impressed by the movements of the female students who were tearing the men apart in perfect order.

As a result, Trine and Maria were the only ones left standing.

Maria said to Trine with a slightly displeased expression.

“I’ll stay outside.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Have you forgotten that I am a member of the church?”

“Ah… right.”

Trine thought for a moment and then spoke to her.

“Then I’ll go with you. I get bored when I’m alone.”

Then Maria smiled politely and said.

“I am grateful, but I am so sorry, so please stay here.”

“I’m not really interested in casinos anyway.”

“Princess Xia will be angry if I’m alone with you.”

“Because the kids in our class aren’t subject to Shia’s guard-”

“Oh really!”

Maria finally couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped on Trine’s foot hard.

“Don’t complain about my words! Aren’t you being a bit cocky these days?”

“How arrogant…”

Maria said as she turned and headed out of the casino.

“Anyway, it’s not because I don’t like you, it’s a personal matter, so play well with other kids.”

… In the end, Trine was left alone.

While I was grumbling for a moment and thinking about which group to join,

I frowned when I spotted someone who was familiar yet very awkward.

“Hahaha! It’s a full house! As expected, this body is blessed with natural luck!”

… It was Grokath.

For some reason, he had already naturally blended in between Jiz and Lisbet.

“Oh! Brother, you’re quite handsome!”

“As expected, you are very cheerful.”

“Hahaha! This body is quite amazing!”

I was afraid that it would be a bother if I got caught by him, so I ran away cautiously.

Another familiar face was seen at the innermost blackjack table.

Student Council President Myeong-yoon.

She was even disguised as a dealer for some reason.

Trine sat in front of the table because he wanted to ask her a few things.

“You suit me surprisingly well.”

“Then you don’t fit in at all. A student comes to the casino in broad daylight.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Gohyeop’s clairvoyance cannot see into the interior. That’s why we just set this place as a temporary base.”

… To be honest, Trine still felt very uncomfortable with Myeong-yoon.

He is the one who tried to kill Pyrrol and Locke without any hesitation before.

Moreover, it seemed like Trine wasn’t the only thing she found annoying.

For some reason, the beings that had been fighting in Trine’s mind suddenly became silent.

“Anyway, is it okay for an angel to engage in gambling?”

“Did you not know that even gods enjoy playing cards and drinking?”

“Eh. Maria just left.”

“That’s just Yumano Shin’s tendency.”

Trine asked her after a pause.

“Why are you helping me?”

“Anyway, you think the same way as that reckless Grokath.”

“No, I think it’s an obvious question in this situation.”

Senior Myung-yoon shuffled a pack of cards and handed out two cards to Trine.

“Do you know the rules of blackjack?”

“Approximately.”

“Do you want to hit or stand?”

You have to add cards one by one to make a number as close to 21 as possible.

Instead, if you exceed 21, you immediately lose the game.

So, usually, if you take two or three pages, you will get a rough idea of the results.

However, the trine had to receive cards until there were seven.

For some reason, the only cards that came in were 2 and 3.

In the end, senior Myung-yoon got on his nerves.

“Are you kidding me?”

“Oh, it’s unfair! My senior made the deal!”

“It’s currently 20. Do you want to hit or stand?”

“I’ll take one more.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m not betting on anything in particular-”

“Even if your life is at stake in this game?”

Trine and senior Myungyoon glared at each other for a moment.

I don’t know what Senior Myungyoon meant when he said that…

“I decided that if it made even just one person unhappy, it was the wrong answer.”

Trine held out his hand.

“Please give it to me.”

Myeong-yoon glared at the trine once and held out the last card.

But Trine turned it over and snatched it away before he could check it.

“Remember, the gods don’t gamble.”

“Didn’t you just say that even the gods play cards?”

“The cards they draw soon become rules.”

“Senior, you actually don’t like discipline, do you?”

Myeong-yoon continued speaking, ignoring Trine’s sarcasm.

“If you want to win the game of the gods, stick to your current beliefs until the end.”

“Huh? Why are you talking on the premise that I’m fighting against the gods?”

“Stop going back. If you stay with me for too long, it will become dangerous in many ways.”

Anyway, words don’t make sense.

“You should at least tell me what that last card is.”

Myeong-yoon turned over the card.

It was diamond 10.

“Burst. It’s your loss.”

“…….”

I felt like I would only get more annoyed if I sat there for no reason, so I stood up and left.

Then, before I knew it, Sia was clinging to me.

“You seem to get along quite well with senior Myung-yoon?”

“Can you say that just by looking at my expression?”

“Hehe, I’m just kidding. This is the first time I’ve seen someone openly show that they don’t like my senior.”

“I don’t think I can ever become friends with an angel.”

Sia asked, slightly lowering her voice.

“So, why are senior Myungyoon and Grokatsu here?”

“How should I know? I guess he just came here to work part-time.”

In response, Sia stared at Trine with an expressionless face.

Trine flinched for a moment, then

I recalled my conversation with Yuril yesterday and spoke cautiously.

“The angel I encountered on Mount Theor is aiming for my head.”

“…okay.”

“So those two decided to protect me.”

“Is this a very dangerous situation?”

“No. That angel is targeting only me, and as long as I don’t act alone, I’m safe.”

Sia glared at Trine for a moment,

He immediately said with a faint smile.

“Thank you for being honest.”

“I apologize for not telling you sooner. There are various reasons here as well.”

“If you’re sorry, you have to be punished, right?”

Sia held Trine’s hand tightly.

“Don’t ever let go of my hand while you’re at Oddball.”

“…is that a punishment?”

“Hehe, married couples are together even when they die, right?”

Sia said this as a joke.

Trine realized the true weight of those words and gently squeezed Sia’s hand.

***

Meanwhile.

A female employee came into Altoro Land’s management office.

“I gave them a discount coupon as you instructed. If there are no major problems, I will come back tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your hard work. I hope everyone else will hurry and finish their preparations by tomorrow.”

From noble mtl dot come

Several employees around nodded their heads.

A female employee asked in a threatening voice.

“If we really just kill someone named Trine, we’ll send the demons back to heaven, right?”

Gohyeop responded to those words by raising the corners of his mouth as hard as he could.

“Of course. An angel wouldn’t lie, right?”
