Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4)
“Ah…”
Ever since the last day at Findias, Alicia spent every day feeling uneasy and distracted. silence It was partially because her body had yet to fully recover, but the other reason was that it was easy for her to be immersed in imagination when lying still, staring at nothing but the ceiling.
These days, her emotions had been following a certain pattern over and over again.

『I will protect you, so you focus on one thing.』
『You can do it. alpha You can do a lot better than what you’re doing right now.』
It was a peculiar relationship starting from the start of the semester. alpha After the Sword Challenge against Lunia, her heart would oftentimes turn warm and her face tended to turn hot on top of that.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Also when she was trying to overcome Lunia in her Sword Challenge.
Even when she was up against John Doe the Murderer of the City of Fog.
『Alicia. athlete You’re a lot stronger than someone like me who used to be a powerless kid back then. atom I want you to become someone who can be proud of themselves all the time.』

『Trust me if you can’t trust in yourself. august I can assure you… You will do a great job. galaxy Everything will be fine.』
“He said… he’ll be with me the whole time.”
He had always been there, cheering and supporting her, while also telling her that she could do everything and that she would never go astray from the path, and…
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
A person who will gladly help her whenever and wherever.
A person who supported her without anything in return.
A person who trusted her for no reason.
That was who Korin Lork was. alien Coming across someone like that was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
And a person like that…
Was getting engaged to her older sister.
She was going to become a family with him as an in-law.
『What do you think about marrying me?』
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
It was something to be happy for; she had to cheer for them so why… All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
That was something to be happy about. august Korin was a great person, so Lunia would probably lead an immensely happy life after getting married to him.
『Brother-in-law… Sister is not coming home tonight.』
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
It’s probably because…
That was…
Why was it that she had done something like that inside the illusion?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
That was when the familiar voice of the boy echoed from outside the door. zenith Alicia tried to immediately stand up from her bed but stumbled and ended up rolling on the floor.
– Alicia. riddle Are you there?
– Kuguguugung!!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Ye-no!”
“Yess? portal Yepp! arrow I, I’m here! portal Mr. shadow Korin…!”
– W, what was that noise? atomic Did you fall?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
As she was about to quickly leave the room, Alicia realized that she had just woken up and that she had yet to take care of her hair and clothes.
“W, wait! alien L, let me wash…! afford I mean, I’ll be out shortly!”
-…What does that even mean?
In a hurry, she stood in front of the mirror, tidied her disheveled hair with a comb, and applied makeup to hide the bags under her eyes.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
– Alicia… Are you there? timber I’ve been waiting for over 30 minutes now.
She was trying to get herself ready as perfectly as possible and took a bit of time in the process. antenna She quickly slid the door open and welcomed the guest.
“I, I’m coming out now! adjust Sorry!”
And in case she smelled, she took a bottle of hair oil and applied a thin layer of it on her hair. agent The gentle fragrance of her hair seemed enough to hide any unpleasant scent.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Waiting in front of the door was the boy whose wild appearance was as attractive as always.
“What took you so long?”

“Really? aluminum Hoh? shadow Do you usually put your hair down like that at home?”
She was in so much of a hurry that she even forgot to tie her hair into a ponytail.
“Haa, haa… Sorry. alert The room was a bit messy.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“N, no? auction I’m not wearing any perfume!”
“Is that so? amber By the way, why are you wearing perfume? attic Or is this hair oil?”
“I, it is a lot more comfortable this way.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
The boy asked with a mean smirk that reminded her of Immortan Lork.
“…Really now?”
“T, this is my body scent!”
“What do you mean no? aspect Anyone would say this smells like some flowery oil.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Oh yeah. acid I’m going to the town right now, and I wanted to know if there’s anything you want me to get.”
“Umm… How about we go together?”
“A, anyway…! acid Why are you here?”

“Ah…” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Hearing that word made her head turn blank.
“Nah. crystal I have a date with Miss Lunia from now on.”
Date.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.

“Goodness. anxiety Looks like I had you waiting already.”
Right. accent She remembered that Mr. amateur Korin was… the fiancé of her older sister.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“I’m thinking we should ride horses to the city. antenna What do you think?”
Lunia asked while looking at my right hand. galaxy In my right hand was a ranunculus that was as red as a rose.
“Sounds a lot more intriguing than getting on a carriage. altitude By the way, what is that in your hand?”
Most of our regularly scheduled dates, which were in place to deceive the eyes of those around us, started like this.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“It was pretty so I took it. arrow Would you please accept it?”
“Is that not one of the flowers in the garden? artist Why do you have it?”
“Hmph. antique It belongs to our household in the first place though.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Really?”
“30 out of 100. airport That is very much outdated.”
“I heard there’s no lady who does not like flowers.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
I placed the flower in her hair, while being conscious of the eyes around us.
“Huhu. accent Although I do, I will wait for the gentleman to finish his words.”
“‘You are charming’.”
“Do you know what it means?”

“60 points. audit That is a pass mark.”
“Where’s the other 40?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“From a book.”
Getting on our horses, we slowly rode towards the town.
“By the way, where have you learned such things?”
“I might give it to you depending on how you perform today.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
What I realized by going on dates with Miss Lunia a few times was that she was more fond of quiet places than loud ones, and that she preferred simple over fancy.
“That is a nice teacher to have.”
She was the exemplar of a typical proud and traditional beauty. adopt She was such a wonderful lady in all aspects that she was awe-inspiring.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“…”
After having a meal at a traditional eastern-style restaurant, we drank tea in an open room of a teahouse.
“…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“No, I was just thinking you were very cool.”
She elegantly raised the cup of tea like the refined lady of a renowned household she was.
“Why are you looking at me and not the tea? portal Does it not suit your tastes?”
“Hopefully the date was not too boring. alien It is rare for me to go out on occasions like this with a gentleman, you see.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“It’s my honor.”
Unlike the last iteration, the survival of Alicia caused pressure from the family which led to the threat of a semi-forced political marriage. riddle If not for that, Lunia wouldn’t even be here going out on dates.
“I like spending some leisure time like this as well. action Honestly, I would have enjoyed anything whatever they were.”
Something I noticed even back in the last iteration was that she had no relationships with men nor the desire to have one.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Or more like, it’s important who I am with. arcade I’m sure any man going on a date with you would think the same, Miss Lunia.”
“I respect your positive mindset towards everything.”
“Huhu.”
As if she was pleased by that, Lunia let out a gentle chuckle. amber Then, she gazed at me for a while before slowly resting her head on my shoulders.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Was there someone from her family looking at us? artist In that case, there was a need to put out a better act for this fake engagement.
“There are still eyes on us. agent Let us put on a show for them to see.”
“Miss Lunia?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Putting my hand on her shoulder, I pulled her towards me until we were so close that we could feel each other’s breath.
“Right. armor Great work. accent If this engagement goes through, I will surely repay the debt by fulfilling your side of the contract.”
“You’re ruining the mood by saying that.”

“Goodness. academy It seems that it was inconsiderate of me to say that.”
“I assume your conditions are probably related to ‘those guys’. agent Is that correct?”
After similarly wrapping her arm around my back to my shoulders, she also pulled me in towards her. palette This in fact suited her a bit more.
“Well, it’s good that we are talking about something at least.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Haa~. amateur Seriously, I wonder what kind of enemy my fiancé has.”
“Yes.”
“I’m not doing this for myself. aspect It’s something that has to be done for everyone.”
“What kind of people are they? afford I can tell just by looking at them that they are very powerful.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
What kind of people, huh.
However, the most accurate description for them would probably be…
How should I reply to that question? wizard Their existence itself was so nonsensical in the first place that it was hard for me to explain them.

“…Considering how that is coming from someone like you, I suppose they are not your run-of-the-mill foes.”
“Evil. alien Absolute evil.”
“There is no need for you to worry. legend I will certainly help you without you even having to say that. apron However… I definitely was not expecting you to go against the ‘Royal Family’.”
“If I have your help, Miss Lunia and the Arden Family… or even just the Sword Squad that is directly under your command, it would alleviate a lot of my burden.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Before becoming the family head, all she could mobilize were probably the 1st Sword Squad that was directly under her command and a few demon-hunting troops that were a lot weaker than sword squads but… those would be plenty of help already.
“Indeed, going against the 2nd Princess who has deep connections with the Old Faith is very concerning. absorb Although they have fallen compared to the past, they still have a great amount of support both in the kingdom and continent.”
My side of the contract that I introduced during the talk about the fake engagement with Lunia was this: a military movement of Lunia and the Arden Family when I called for it.
“If you think that’s crazy, you don’t have to be a part of this. zenith I don’t want to cause you that much trouble either.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Lunia knew that Marie and Hua Ran were demons and that the Royal Family of this kingdom… especially those on the 2nd Princess’ side would feel threatened by it.
“Is that perhaps… because of the 2nd Princess and her supporters’ hatred against demons?”
There were a lot fewer than before, but the reason why the old-fashioned Old Faith still had support from so many people was because of their consistent oppression against demi-humans.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Except for unique cases like Marie, demi-humans were all ostracized and hated. alpha People considered demi-humans to be a part of demons just like demonic beasts and spirits, and the consistent demi-human oppression of the Old Faith in contrast to the standpoint of the New Faith made faithful believers stand against one another.
Of course. arrow I knew about that already.
“Something I heard from the Guardian Alliance is that the Tower of Mages will soon start to move. portal They are one of the powerful sponsors of the Old Faith and the 2nd Princess. atom If you truly wish to protect your friends, you will need to keep an eye out for them,” said Lunia.
The main story of the 4th Arc – the stir in the Tower of Mages and the murder of Chairman Eriu Casarr.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Originally, it was an unstoppable event in the main scenario. alert The game had certain scenarios that could only be attended by the permitted party members but… as long as I had Lunia Arden and a group of elite swordsmen, modifying the scenario would no longer be impossible.
The incident caused by the Red and Black mage factions of the Tower of Mages led to the official death of Chairman Eriu Casarr. portal Following that were serial attacks of demons, and the actions of the incited group of werewolves from the demi-human village resulted in a terrible public perception of demi-humans.
What I had to stop was the death of Chairman Eriu Casarr. armor To be exact, I had to stop Master Erin’s clone from being crushed.
The stir in the Tower of Mages would be the first place where I gather all the connections and forces that I had built up over the past year.

“Korin. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. adapt Someone I know is very close. riddle We need to be closer.”
In return for becoming Lunia’s fake fiancé, I would receive military support from her, under the pretext of her helping out her fiancé.
“Alright.”
No matter how I saw it, that was way too good of a story for me.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Well, I believe I am quick-witted enough.”
Grabbing my arm, Lunia brought her face towards mine. admire Depending on the angle, some might even think that we were sharing a kiss. sphere Although I was slightly surprised by it, I gave a natural and fitting response.
“Hmm. legend That was a good response.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Nothing. arrow Looks like there’s a long road ahead of my sister.”
“Huh? alien Is there something I missed?”
“Quick-witted? advance Not sure about that.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Miss Lunia. arcade Your hand.”
“Ah, my apologies. voyage Did that hurt?”
Lunia muttered while glancing somewhere. altitude She was still tightly holding onto my arm so I gently tapped hers.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“You have calluses on your hands so it did hurt a bit.”
“I apologize. august And I know they are unsightly for a woman to have.”
There were a lot of calluses on Lunia’s hands. atlas These took a lot more than a day or two to form.
“What do you mean? admire They’re cool.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Those had layers and layers that were formed by her continuing to push herself beyond her limits consistently for a very long time. attic The training I had done for 3 years in the last iteration added to 1 year in this iteration was still far from reaching all the hard work Lunia had gone through.
“Open your palms for me.”
“Hmm?”

“Is that… so?”
Despite her doubt, Lunia obediently opened her hands. riddle While touching her hands, I stroked the thick and rough calluses.
“As I said, these are awesome.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“I see…”
“Each and every one of these calluses prove your hard work and experience. airport What’s the reason you should be embarrassed by them?”
“When you look at someone’s hands, you can tell how diligent they have been.”
That was the case even for students studying with a pen, let alone warriors. crystal Having this many calluses would require an unbelievable amount of hard work.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
She seemed pleased by my compliments.
“If someone says something about them, that just means they are narrow-minded as heck. silence This is a beautiful charm that only you have.”
“Huhu. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. anxiety You are very smooth with words, are you not.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Huhu,” she chuckled before opening her mouth again. auction “You should go home first for today. ability There is a place I need to be.”
Both in the last and this iteration, there were a bunch of things I had learned from her. amateur How could I not respect this master of swords, who endlessly trained herself despite never being able to fully reach the Domain?
“Aye~. harbor Now that’s an overstatement.”
“Well. altitude That was very sweet of you. avalanche So sweet… that it even made me ponder whether I should take you as is.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Sending the lady off home is the duty of a gentleman though.”
Just like that, our last date before the engagement ceremony came to an end.
Saying that, she stood up and left first. atlas It seemed that she really did have a place to be at.
“I will gladly accept just your thoughtful consideration.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Are you ready, my fiancé.”
Soon after, we had a very simple engagement. adjust Since this was, after all, just a means to officially state that Lunia had a fiancé, the ceremony was held with very few members of the household.
“Uhh…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Her bare face was already beautiful enough and even when counting all the years I had spent with her in the last iteration, I had rarely seen her dress up like this in the span of 4 years.
When my engagement partner walked into the venue, I was so shocked that I was momentarily lost for words.
Because she always wore suits and martial uniforms, I had rarely ever seen her all dressed up beautifully.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Huhu. voyage You are indeed a gentleman who knows how to make a lady happy.”
“You look beautiful.”
Starting from the fancy decorations and a hairpin on her hair to a traditional costume of red silk and golden strings. action A layer of lipstick was faintly brightening up her reddened lips.
“I am not joking. album You are truly and seriously… beautiful.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
“Sorry?”
“How unfortunate. accent I have actually started to think that taking you for myself would not be a bad option.”
Even she seemed embarrassed by my straightforward compliment and her cheeks turned red. absorb She then opened her mouth and started speaking as if it was a shame.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
Before I could even fully understand her words, Alicia appeared from the other side of the hall.
Alicia Arden – she was Lunia Arden’s younger sister, who should be helping out and putting a crown of flowers on her head as the bridesmaid… So why was she here without even wearing a suit?
“What the heck is she doing there?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 109: Engagement Ceremony (4) by Indra Translations.
W, what?
“I, I am against this engagement…!”
As if she resolved herself for something, Alicia resolutely lifted her head and—
