After the negotiations, the Winter Moon Demon returned to the sword with Dominic.
'Mel, wait! I will talk to the demon of discernment and come back.''Huh? You decided to summon him once a day anyway.''That's true, but I'll have to go in and get a hint about the Holy Sword! As soon as possible!'
Dominic, who was once unjustly misunderstood because of the holy sword, wanted to know the identity of the holy sword, holy water, and holy relics as soon as possible, and chased him into the demonic sword.
In the end, Isaac and I were left alone at the stationery store. After organizing the slushies made by the Winter Moon Demon so that they could be sold immediately, I began making prototypes of magic teaching aids and school supplies that I wanted to deliver to the academy.
I was sitting across from Isaac and had just made some prototypes that would be presented to the Academy in the future. I was so tired from the day that I started to fall asleep. Unknowingly, my eyes closed terribly.
"I'm sleepy…"
Isaac closed my barely open eyes again with his big hand.
"Lean on your back."
I washed my face dry and nodded. "I'll sleep for a while. Just thirty minutes."
I leaned on his shoulder and closed my eyes. How long passed since I felt the warm and pleasant touch that tidied up my hair? Suddenly, my eyes flashed open.
"How much did I sleep?"
He was still resting his face on Isaac's arm. I hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corners of my mouth and continued.
"A little."
"Oh… I think I slept too much. Isaac's arm doesn't hurt?" I must have been uncomfortable sleeping while leaning on his arm.
"It's okay."
Still, I was about to apologize by saying that, but I stopped when I saw the muscles of his arms exposed in a short-sleeved shirt. He had a lot of muscularity.
…If I had that healthy and sturdy arm, my hair might really feel like cotton candy.
"I'm glad I did. Ugh…"
With guilt buried in the back of my mind, I yawned and slammed my head on the table. Isaac naturally put his hand between my forehead and the table and acted as a protective shield.
"You hurt your head."
"Oh, yes…" I stretched my tail.
When his palm touched my forehead, I was strangely worried, and my mouth became dry. I was nervous about it, and I heard a knock on the door.
Knock, knock.
We looked towards the door at the same time. The knock on the door was neat and solemn, not childish.
Did the president's secretary come to make an appointment?
Not long ago, Cassian had agreed to make an appointment with the president of the academy alone. But right like this?
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and asked Isaac. "What time is it?"
"It's nine o'clock in the morning."
"I… Did you sleep for six hours?"
For some reason, my throat was stiff as if I had a stiff neck. I can't believe that a whole day had passed like this!
"You only slept for six hours."
Isaac slapped and touched the corner of my neck and cast a healing spell on me. A soft sensation sprouted near my neck where he touched. I was so nervous that my stomach tightened slightly, and I smiled awkwardly and looked at the door again. Then I raised my voice and spoke to the person outside the door.
"Come in!"
The door opened quietly, and a certain knight in uniform bowed his head and greeted him.
"I'm here to take you, Marquis Kinnoa."
Instead of me, Isaac opened his mouth first and spoke in a languid tone. "Please introduce yourself first."
"Oh, I'm late in introducing myself. I am Seine, a knight who assists the president of the academy."
He immediately kept the promise Cassian made yesterday to "help the president alone." I nodded, and Seine asked cautiously.
"The president says he will have time today. Are you going right away?"
"Oh, wait a minute. I have someone to call."
The knight bowed his head with a blunt face and said. "When should I make an appointment for a visit?"
I glanced at the magic sword on the shelf of the stationery store, where Dominic had disappeared.
"I think three hours will be enough." It seemed that three hours would be enough to summon Basil, who had an outstanding ability to persuade others.
"I understand." The president's knight, Seine, bowed his head towards me.
And a few hours later, I was able to walk straight into the academy as a distinguished guest at the invitation of the president of the Academy. With the genius of speech, Basil.
A few hours later, inside the Academy's President's Office.
Basil, who sat next to me, explained all the business plans. I was next to him and took the main points of the conversation.
"I would like to propose school supplies that match the growth rate of the children at the academy. All the school supplies that have been available so far have been for adults."
The president of the Academy, Mescan, spoke up in admiration. "I want to give my children a chance to experience a prototype right now!"
Actually, the president of the academy also likes Meldenik.Yes?He said that thanks to the cotton candy in his happy dream, he had the dream of returning to farming again.Really?Yes, it is Basil, and he was also quite impressed by the nobleman's speech.
I remembered what he had said to Prince Cassian when he was alone. Apparently, the cotton candy in a happy dream made a good impression on the president. Moreover, I had fallen for Basil's conversation once.
I grinned and continued to speak to the president. "Then bring the children."
The driver outside the door left to pick up the academy children. And about ten minutes later, three children rushed in from outside the door.
"Hello!"
"Nice to meet you. Did I do anything wrong?"
"It's my first time in the president's office, so my heart is pounding and shaking!"
…Apparently, if young children are called to the president's office, they will assume the worst.
"That's not the case." I smiled and waved at the children.
The children, who came squatting down, sat on empty chairs near the table. The children, who were about ten years old, looked at the strange objects on the table and their eyes lit up.
I asked the children cautiously. "Can I try this pen?"
"Yes!"
It was a quill that was the size of a dream pencil, tailored to the children's small hands. If there was something unusual, it was that there was a soft substance wrapped around the front and middle fingers of the quill. Usually, quills and fountain pens were hard and would cause calluses on children's hands. However, I covered the center of the quill with a soft, rubber-like substance.
"Wow, my hands don't hurt at all!"
"It feels like it's slipping a little! It's amazing."
I nodded and memorized the children's words in my head. The skinny girl burst into deep exclamations as if she was curious.
"My hands hurt less, so I can study for a long time!"
"I'll make a lot of more interesting things."
A righteous boy who came as an exchange student from the next principality admired my poor imperial language. "There is no such thing in our country! I would definitely like to invite you to our principality in the future!"
I brought my fisted hand to my mouth and laughed. "Yes, when you grow up, please invite me. Thank you for telling me that."
I watched the children diligently writing, and then I opened my mouth to the president of the academy.
"I would like to continue to listen to children's opinions and make school supplies."
"I guess that's the case. It's customized school supplies."
"That's why I think it's necessary to keep the children by my side and observe them continuously."
The president, who noticed the intention of my words, smiled heartily and continued.
"Hooh, what if that… I need to give you a permit to enter the academy."
At his words, I tilted my head, bowed my head, and opened my mouth. "Yes, thank you."
Everything was going well as I had intended. In fact, there was another reason why I had to go in and out of the academy often. The intention was to check if the suspicious holy relics made by Sheria and Lennox entered and exited this place. However, I couldn't tell the president all about it, so I made a simple excuse. Fortunately, the president of the academy nodded in understanding of my opinion.
"Oh, come to think of it, I haven't given you this yet."
"Yes?"
While the children were looking at the quill, the president took out the envelope he had left on the table and showed it to me.
"This is the basic cost of the request and the initial fee."
Come to think of it, I had money! I carefully checked the envelope and opened my eyes.
Oh my God… Give me five billion becquerels?
It was a jaw-dropping amount.
Maybe I gave too much by mistake?
However, the president's next words shocked me even more.
"As long as the teaching aids and school supplies are made well, we will pay you properly, so please work harder in the future."
Unbelievable. The president of the academy began to look like an angel. I nodded vigorously and looked at him.
It was good. Now I'm rich! I had a pleasant feeling that I would be able to increase this 500 million becquerels to 50 billion becquerels sooner or later.
