I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

43 – Escort Quest (1)

Today is the regular meeting of the Capitalism Research Society.

After the afternoon lecture, I moved to the Society building with Lando.

… Originally, only Luisa and Landau should have been next to me, but Elianne and Delia were also there.

“Delia, is it really okay to stay with me?”

After I showed you the shockingly visual remodeled nun uniform in the morning, it followed me like Luisa.

There must be work as an apprentice.

“Yes, that’s fine! I got permission from the teacher. So that I can treat Joel’s body anytime, anywhere in the future. I learned everything I could learn as an apprentice, so my teacher allowed me to.”

Even in the game, Delia goes from being an apprentice to a full-time healer at the end of the first semester of her first year.

… However, she did not pursue the main character of the game, Lando, all day long.

Seeing that Luisa and Delia were talking secretly together, it seemed as if the two of them were planning a strategy.

Are you thinking of appointing Delia, who has become her saintess, as her headquarters instead of her after pushing Elie Anne out of her headquarters?

Oh no way.

It must be my excessive delusion.

I went to the capitalism research society and Caitlyn was about to grab the doorknob just in time.

“Caitlyn.”

“Oh, Joel—. Huh?!”

She looked at Ellie Anne and Delia, who was next to me, and her eyes widened.

It’s probably because of the two people’s changed outfits.

Louisa is my commoner lover, but Delia is a candidate for a saint from the future, and Eliane is a duke’s daughter, so it will feel much different.

“… Do you like short skirts, garter belts, and stockings?”

“Right.”

My reputation has nothing to lose here anyway.

Even if you deny it, it will only look pitiful.

I’d rather be a bit perverted, so I’d rather have a little bad feelings for the heroines who don’t like me yet.

In that sense, I embraced Elianne and Luisa with both arms,

“This absolute area is good.”

I was fiddling with the thigh flesh between the two of them’s miniskirts and stockings.

Caitlyn blushed slightly.

Now I’ll classify her as a perverted aristocrat in her empire in her brain.

As an investor, I can’t treat you carelessly.

But she brought up an unexpected story of her own.

“Can I buy that design?”

“… Live?”

As Caitlyn says, a social movement has recently developed among young women in the Republic.

Take off the long skirt right away.

It seemed to be an exercise that insisted that my legs be exposed, but not to be blocked.

“Do you agree with the movement?”

“I don’t have much interest. Because I just know.”

“But why?”

“Whether you agree or not, it’s an opportunity to make money!”

If you wear stockings, you are not completely bare legs.

Anyway, stockings are just one layer of fabric.

At the same time, the combination with a mini skirt can show the spirit of resistance by revealing a little bit of bare legs.

“But aren’t there only a few people who actively participate in sports?”

I didn’t think it would lead to a lot of money just because a few people bought it.

Unless the price is exorbitantly high.

“Of course I should aim for the public!”

“How?”

“You are just pretty! It’s pretty, but it’s considered lewd, so you combine it with exercise, and package it as part of exercise, not lewdness!”

In short, it was about taking the long skirt-free movement as a marketing factor and selling it.

A target for women who want to be enterprising but don’t feel burdened by going barefoot in a miniskirt.

It seemed that women who wanted to appeal to men with s*xiness and men who wanted to dress their girlfriends.

“Do whatever you want.”

“How much do you want?”

“Just use it.”

It’s not the first design I came up with, and it’s not that I’m short of money.

So I told her to just use it, but Caitlyn shook her head.

“I want to sell under your name as a brand.”

“… My name?”

“Yes, so I want to make a proper contract. How about 10% of the monthly sales revenue, including borrowing a name and designing clothes?”

It’s a part that didn’t even appear in the game, and I don’t know if 10% of sales revenue is a lot or a little as royalties.

Still, if the clothing business goes well as Caitlin planned….

“There is one condition.”

“Which one?”

“Distribution should be negotiated with Yere as a top priority.”

Caitlin and her parents’ business is manufacturing.

On the other hand, the Yère store run by Louisa’s family is in the distribution business.

It is possible for Louisane to sell goods made by Caitlin’s all over the world.

Caitlyn turned her head towards her Luisa.

As if she hadn’t expected it at all, Louisa stared at her with her eyes wide open.

“Okay, I’ll negotiate with Yere Sanghoe first.”

Luisa said in a small voice,

“Bocchan, are you really okay… ?”

She asked.

“It’s okay, this much.”

They just gave her parents the first right to negotiate.

If her parents think it won’t sell well or if Caitlyn’s offer isn’t good enough, she’ll go to another distributor.

In the first place, you really don’t know if fashion in the absolute realm will sell well.

She smiled and bowed her head.

“Thank you, young boy. Our Yer family, we will never forget the Master’s kindness.”

“Yes.”

… Actually, I don’t know exactly what that grace is.

After the regular meeting of the Society for the Study of Capitalism, I moved to the front gate of the academy with Lando, Louisa, Eliane, and Delia.

To accept the quest at the Mercenary Guild.

From noble mtl dot com

As we talked about last night, Benedetta was standing in front of the front door.

Seeing her me, she ran her hand through her mauve hair and came over to me.

“This is my first time joining a mercenary guild, so I’m a bit nervous, Sir Joel.”

She said with a hearty laugh.

I bowed her head briefly and looked around her.

“What about the lady-in-waiting?”

“I told you to rest.”

Ah, I understood right away.

A kingdom is a country that looks down on mercenaries more than an empire.

It would be bad in many ways if the maid reported that the princess went to the mercenary guild.

“Come to think of it, Eliane.”

“Yes.”

“Who is your exclusive maid?”

I haven’t seen Elianne’s maid since she confessed to me yesterday.

She answered with a small smile as if she was slightly bitter.

“I left it at home when I came back.”

“Why?”

“Because my mother gave me a maid.”

I didn’t know the details, but it seemed that she was trying to cut all ties with her mother’s side.

It seemed that the maid she had been with had blocked her for fear that she would report her remarks or actions to her mother.

In a family that actually revolves around the duchess, the decision to build a wall with the duchess must not have been easy.

At least I haven’t seen it in the game.

“Good job. It must have been difficult.”

He carefully stroked Elianne’s silver hair.

She looked up at me, her eyes wide open.

The Duchess of Chablis appears almost like a villain in .

… Eliane-related troubles are always related to the Duchess.

We don’t know what kind of butterfly effect this will bring, but at least it will prevent some of the events that were supposed to happen.

“Thank you, Joel…. I should have done this a long time ago, but I realized it too late.”

“I have to change it from now on.”

“Yes, Mr. Joel… !”

Today, Ellie Anne and Benedetta were also added, so we borrowed her carriage a bit bigger.

The mercenary guild was a bit far from the academy to just walk away, and there was also a level of consideration for Elianne, the third daughter of the duke, and Benedetta, the princess of the kingdom.

Of course, the mercenaries didn’t get a lot of attention.

It’s not exactly the same, but it’s because I drove a foreign car worth over 100 million to an employment agency.

I entered the guild building and looked around the quest board.

“Wouldn’t that be nice, Sir Joel?”

The quest that Benedetta pointed her finger at was [Regular Subjugation of C-Class Wild Boars].

It was a passable quest that was not much different from the first quest, [Regular Subjugation Request for Class C Orc Dungeon].

In the meantime, only the three of me, Luisa, and Lando had to wake up, so on weekdays, it was difficult in terms of time except for D-class dungeons.

But now Benedetta, Elianne and Delia have joined the party.

With a member like this, it shouldn’t be difficult to go around C-rank dungeons within the time even on weekdays.

“How about this, Joel?”

Lando also pointed at a piece of quest paper with his index finger.

Elianne, who was watching from the side, answered instead of me.

“I think it will be difficult because it is a night escort request.”

“Oh, I see. I didn’t see that it was nighttime.”

He laughed, scratching the back of his head shyly.

There was nothing wrong with Eliane’s words.

At night we all have to go back to our dorms to sleep.

I don’t know if it’s a holiday, but it’s impossible on weekdays.

But you must do this quest today.

“I will not request this escort.”

“”Yes?””

Lando, Benedetta, Delia, Luisa, and Elianne all turned their heads to look at my face.

It deserved it.

Because I won’t be able to make it to bedtime in the 100% dorm.

[Question to Escort the Merchant to Enna Village]

[Risk level: Class C estimation]

The content of the request itself was simple.

To protect the peddlers going to Enna Village in the kingdom adjacent to Lauris.

The peddler requested that monsters ranging from D to C appear on the way to Enna Village recently.

I turned my head to Benedetta and said.

“If you think it will be difficult, next time—.”

“No, I will go. She just needs to make an excuse for staying out with Sir Joel.”

“… Yes?”

“Just kidding. Don’t worry, I can make up my own excuses.”

Benedetta smirking at my bewildered expression.

I know the setting of her as a bit mischievous princess, but I realized later that it was a joke because of her status.

I looked at Luisa and she said,

“I am always by your side, young master.”

I agreed.

Eliane and Delia also agreed with Luisa’s words, saying, “Me too.”

The only one left is Lando.

If he says it’s impossible, it’ll get a little twisted….

The reason why I go to the dungeon in the mercenary guild is, of course, to accumulate my experience, but Lando’s skills are greatly improved.

As the heir of the hero, he needs to grow up so that we can all survive the upcoming main event.

“Do you have a reason? The reason why you must do this quest.”

Rando asked with a serious expression.

I nodded.

“Okay! There was nothing wrong with what Joel-nim said we should do.”

“Thank you.”

“No, I am more grateful!”

He smiles brightly like an innocent child.

… I felt guilty thinking that I had stolen the heroine of such a good protagonist.
