Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2)

It was rare for famous and veteran guardians to be paid that much money. canvas Only a few would ever earn the “qualification” to handle such high-paying tasks.

There were a multitude of things that could be done with that amount of money. alpha It was enough to purchase a whole floor of a decent building in the CBD, and although it might not be enough for a wyvern, it would certainly be able to buy you the best-bred horses of the South.

One white gold coin. adapt That equated to 100 gold coins.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

For a single day?

And yet paying that much money—

White gold coins were a type of currency that was hard to see unless they were in semi-Unique Grade subjugation missions, which only accepted Grade 1 guardians or whole parties of Grade 2 guardians. album Grade 3 guardians wouldn’t even be allowed near it.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

In fact, it would only be half a day – and even then, it probably wouldn’t go all the way till midnight, so it was practically just for a single dinner.

Isabelle, as well as everyone present, turned their eyes to the one who confidently bid a white gold coin.

How could anyone sane possibly waste a white gold coin for that short period of time?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Who in the— Uncle Marde?!”

Who in this Academy other than Marie Dunareff was able to waste their money to such an extreme extent? arch The person that everyone found in search of the lunatic who spent a white gold coin… was a middle-aged man to everyone’s surprise.

“It has been a while, Isabelle.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

It was none other than Marie’s father, Marde Dunareff.

– Duke Marde? arch Why is he here?

Marie might be the imperial princess of the Potato Empire, but he was the Potato Emperor himself. august The ruler of the southern empire with the biggest financial influence throughout the continent, Duke Marde, was sitting among the audience of the Auction Contest.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“W, why…?”

– And why is he bidding…?

“Huhu. advance Isabelle. riddle Do you think I wouldn’t know what you’re up to? wizard Marie must have asked you for a favor. apron All for a single d, d… date with that little guy!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Umm…”

“Korin Lorrrkk…! aluminum I won’t let Marie stay next to you for a single minute today unless you go over my dead body! athlete Because she will be having a date with her father the entire day! arcade WAHAHAHAHAH…!!”

The duke barely finished his sentence with his teeth chattering in fury.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– Damn. arena That’s a bit overboard.

– Wow…

– Oh my gosh…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– That’s a little gross.

“Uhh, Father?”

Right.

Duke Marde – he was simply here to stop Marie from having a successful bid on Korin. absorb In order to monopolize the time with his daughter, he was here to bid on her boyfriend so that he wouldn’t be a nuisance!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a bit… unsightly.”

“Don’t you dare call me ‘Father’!”

Korin dumbfoundedly raised his hand but Duke Marde yelled in return. attic Regardless, Korin stuck with his conviction and finished his sentence.

He seemed to have lost himself from jealousy towards his daughter’s boyfriend. acid Isabelle concealed her agreement with Korin’s statement and carefully raised the price.

“Haha, Isabelle. academy My daughter has a lot of money but not as much as I do. 1,000 gold coins!”

“History… is written by the victors!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

I can’t beat him with money though…

The duke lifted his hand with a confident shout but little did he know that that made him look even worse.

“Uncle…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Dear. echo What are you doing here?”

No matter how much money Marie had, she was still nothing but the next in line to the empire. arctic Competing against the emperor himself with money would be a foolish move.

“Fufu. adapt Looks like there are no more bidders. galaxy So I—”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

That was when an unexpected someone entered the auditorium.

“Hahp!”

Elencia Dunareff – the queen of the empire.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Duke Marde froze stiff as if he were in front of the god of death. voyage It didn’t matter whether he was the Potato Emperor or not.

“I came here for a look because I heard our Korin was going to be auctioned. orbit But I wasn’t expecting to see you here though.”

“H, honey…! acoustic I thought you were going to Marie’s Exhibition with the kids!”

The Duchess of the Dunareff Dukedom was here to stop her husband. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“Don’t tell me you’re trying to interfere with Marie’s date. alert Are you?”

“Ahhkk…! shadow H, honey…!”

“What an embarrassment! adjust The kids are all waiting for you! armor Come here!”

To Elencia, he was nothing but a husband.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Son-in-law Korin~. album Let’s have a family meal together sometime soon~”

Duke Marde cried like a beast being forced into the slaughterhouse as Elencia pulled him by the ear. atlas He was a renowned mage and the emperor of the Potato Empire, but couldn’t do anything before his wife, who used to be a high-ranked knight in the past.

“Honeyy…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

After the duke was pulled away by the duchess, silence returned to the auditorium, and Isabelle carefully raised her hand back up.

“Don’t call her ‘Mother’! alert Alright?! amber She’s not your mother! galaxy KUAAAHK…!”

“I, I will see you later, Mother.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Korin heaved a deep sigh and waited for the bid to go through but…

It ended up being much higher than expected, but this was still within the acceptable realm. beacon As expected, no one apart from Duke Marde was invested enough to call a higher number than that.

“…1,001 gold coins.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

It was then.

– What?

“2,000 gold coins~”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– T, two…?

The appearance of another unexpected bidder surprised everyone in the audience including Isabelle who was astonished after confirming who it was.

– Two thousand?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Korin-dongsaeng~”

“Why are you here?!”

A returning 3rd year student, and the Saintess of the Order who was supposed to be at the Chapel of Zeon right now… Estelle was waving her hand at Korin with a smile on her face.

Korin was confused. autumn If she wanted to have a meal together, why didn’t she just come any other time? apple Why bother using so much money to…

“T, two thousand and one gold coins…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– Did she just beat her quarter-final opponent in a flash or something?

– ‘Match’? arena Is she talking about the Tournament? silence I thought the quarter-finals began 30 minutes ago?

“Three thousand! apple I just finished my match.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

She was increasing the bid by one gold coin, while the opponent was raising it up in thousands. harbor A thousand gold coins was a massive leap. zenith One gold coin amounted to a month’s expenses of a four-person family and yet… a thousand of them?

“Ms. ability Junior Isabelle~. timber I know who asked you to come here, but are you sure you’re alright? antique That’s not your money, is it~?”

There were rumors these days about how the Saintess had gone crazy and it seemed that those rumors had been true all along.

Everyone in the auction was appalled and so was Isabelle, who was starting to feel nauseous.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Saintess Estelle. absorb The beauty with adorable pink hair was someone who couldn’t resist not having what she wanted to obtain.

Isabelle lamented and hesitated before the biggest religious leader of the entire continent.

“Mhmm…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Estelle Hadassa El Rath. amateur She was one of the only two heirs to the throne in this country and had recently confiscated the material possession of the traitor pope and the cardinals.

Of course, Estelle was far from being a direct rival of the Dunareff in terms of financial power. arch In the end, she was a Saintess and a religious leader of the Order, and not a businessman making a profit from business models.

There wouldn’t have been any problems had Estelle been “nothing but a Saintess”.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Marie said she didn’t care about the amount of money required but…

Naturally, it was impossible for Isabelle to know the ins and outs of everything happening, but regardless, she did not have the guts to compete against the Saintess in this war of attrition.

A faithful saintess would have gladly used that money for the Order, but Estelle no longer fell in that category.

The unfaithful believer, who discarded the fake god and found a new faith along with a big aspiration of becoming the Goddess of the Earth herself, swallowed the entirety of their wealth for herself and confiscated an amount that even the Dunareff wouldn’t be able to scoff at.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Even the Saintess wouldn’t be able to keep up with that, but it was different in this case because Isabelle was the one who had to spend the money.

From what Isabelle knew, Marie received dozens of thousands of gold coins every month as an allowance directly from Duke Marde. absorb That didn’t include the profit she made from her mines, lands, and farms.

She was certainly super rich, and could definitely spend 100,000 gold coins in a single day and say to herself, “Ah. canvas Let’s be a little bit more frugal next month.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– A, a, a, a, a, any more bids…? alien T, then that will be it.

Isabelle had a very average sense of money. apron She was a normal person who was afraid of hundreds of gold coins being spent at once let alone thousands.

“Ugh…” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Well! anxiety He’ll be mine for the whole day then~”

Using that much money for a single meal was astounding, to say the least.

Even the host, Rondon, couldn’t speak properly due to the astronomical amounts of money being thrown around. atom That was nothing strange because 3,000 gold coins… 30 white gold coins were around what normal guardians would be able to make during their entire lifetime.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Everyone was speechless at the face of her confident show of obsession.

Estelle hopped onto the stage with light steps which was unthinkable for someone who just spent 3,000 gold coins. matrix She wrapped her arm around Korin’s waist and blatantly declared to the whole auditorium.

……

“He is mine after all.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Umm… Marie. alien You see.”

“Isabelle~. acoustic How did the auction go? amber Where is Korin?”

…

Immediately after the auction was over, Marie looked for Isabelle with excitement in her eyes.

“T, the thing is…”

Marie was looking for the boy who wasn’t anywhere near them with a bright smile on her face. harbor There was not a sliver of doubt in her golden eyes.

“Isabelle?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Spending that much money for a single meal just doesn’t make sense… And besides, you can have a meal with Korin whenever you want to.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“T, that’s not the important part! advance I mean! arena Of course, it is important but…!”

“W, why? harbor I, I told you you can use as much money as you want…”

Isabelle began to explain what happened, starting from the sudden interruption of Duke Marde and how Estelle took the final bid with 3,000 gold coins.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“What?! attic What’s wrong with you!? antique Wake up!!”

That wasn’t the problem here. adjust What was important was to win, without giving anyone else an opportunity to even get near him.

“Even a million would have been fine!”

Isabelle started to feel afraid because Marie was, in fact, rich enough to spend that much for a single meal.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Fancy steaks and century-old wines were being placed on the table and yet the table was surrounded by silence instead of a merry and romantic atmosphere.

A suite room of a fancy hotel in the city was quickly being filled with dishes. acoustic It seemed that Estelle had made the orders beforehand as if she had never even considered defeat.

***

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

His eyes did not contain the kindness that they used to.

“…”

“…”

The reason for that was because Korin had been quietly staring at Estelle for a while without saying a word.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t call me that.”

“And close your mouth.”

“U, uhh… Dongsaeng?”

“Hiing…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Whyy…?”

“I really feel like punching you, but I will hold myself back in case you get hurt.”

Estelle shrank back after sensing the anger concealed in his voice. zenith On a scale of 0 to 10 in terms of anger, he appeared to be around a 6. altitude It was hard to say if it was on a serious level or not, but it was important because this was Estelle’s first time seeing him reach a 6 in the first place.

“Mhmm… Are you, mad?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

She looked puzzled and clueless, and that only served to increase Korin’s anger by another level.

“Do you really not know why?”

“I really don’t…”

“You think 3,000 gold coins is a joke? matrix Both Senior Marie and you, Saintess. arctic I wasn’t expecting you to be so reckless.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Then what…! avalanche Should I have just watched Ms. atom Junior Isabelle buy you? wizard If it was Duke Marde, it might have been fine, but…”

“It is, and it’s certainly not something you should be throwing away like that.”

“I, it’s not that big a money though…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“It is to me.”

Estelle looked straight into his eyes. arrow She too was just as serious as Korin.

“Like, that’s not important—”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

She said with a bright smile without a sliver of regret, but that only made Korin uncomfortable.

“3,000 gold coins? atlas It was a donation anyway. canvas A large amount of money? album Sure, it’s not a small amount of money, but I used it in a meaningful way and I am very satisfied by it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Korin’s goal was to hit the highest price and get a golden ribbon. athlete His plan was to bid on himself through Ren and was expecting 2~30 gold coins to be the maximum price.

“There should be a limit though,” Korin said with a sigh, “The last thing I wanted was this whole thing looking like you were buying ribbons with your money.”

And he was going to fairly distribute those ribbons to the people who liked him to display his gratitude.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Her face stiffened and turned serious after hearing his words.

“…That’s how it looks like now.”

He couldn’t accept how the contest turned into the girls competing to buy their own ribbon.

“Buying ribbons with our money?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Estelle grabbed him by one of his arms and brought it to her face so that he could touch her cheek with his large hand.

“…”

“What we were trying to do has nothing to do with buying ribbons. avalanche We were stopping you from being sold.”

“Right. admire It might seem that way but both Ms. adjust Junior Marie and I would probably do the same thing regardless.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“But at the same time, I’m happy to see you pushing yourself. apple I love your seriousness and responsibility. zenith I know. arch You are not someone money can buy, and money is not a way to obtain you. album However…”

There was no longer even a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. armor She knew it might seem unsightly, but she did not regret it nor was she ashamed of it in any way.

In her eyes were scorching flames of jealousy, envy, obsession, and her wish to possess… All those emotions were in relation to one person.

“I know why you were in the Auction Contest, and how you are attending multiple contests at once. album I do get that we gave you a burden.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“You are assigning too much meaning into this.”

“Everyone has a different perspective.”

“I cannot allow it. sphere The thought of you officially belonging to someone apart from me even for a split second… is very, very unpleasant.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“At least it means a lot to me.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Even before the regression, she did seem fond of him but it was within the realms of normality.

Why did she like him so much? acoustic Korin could not comprehend the fanatical obsession she had toward him.

Estelle retracted her burning eyes and floated a smile.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Haa… Please be careful later on. album Unlike you, Noonim, I am a coward.”

Maybe it had something to do with her turning away from her faith. airport The Saintess, who sang praises to the Lord, seemed to have now shifted the target of her faith to him.

Now…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m fine.”

“Hehe, I will! orbit Oh right! silence The food’s getting cold. avalanche Do you want me to cut the steak for you?”

Estelle poured the wine with a smile blooming on her face.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

– Swoosh.

Korin decided to look at it from a positive perspective. timber He finally got to drink alcohol again, so he was about to bring his hands to the glass but…

That was when something crawled up from his ankle to his calf. arcade He couldn’t tell what it was due to his long trousers obscuring his sense of touch, but knew logically that there was only one thing underneath the table that could be touching him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

“Should we do something naughty together?”

With her chin resting on her hands, Estelle floated a seductive smile.

“You know, Dongsaeng.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 205: Autumn Harvest Festival (2) by Indra Translations.

Her smile was ever so charming and captivating.
