Chapter 212: Autumn Harvest Festival (9)
The Lady of Autumn Contest was practically a parade around the city for a whole week. ability A large number of girls took part in it – they wore beautiful dresses and appealed to the public, receiving claps and ribbons.
The citizens were able to give ribbons to the one they liked – throughout the festival, the stalls gave out several ribbons of all sorts of colors, and at the end, these ribbons were translated into different points.
“Oi Kane. adapt You got a silver ribbon, right? wizard Who are you going to give that to?”

“Wasn’t that… 70 years ago?”

“Someone 1,000 years old is less repulsive than someone 100 years old.”
“Do you know?”
“Know what?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 212: Autumn Harvest Festival (9) by Indra Translations.
“Someone that is 100 years old sounds like a grandma and makes people feel repulsed but a 1,000-year-old lady is just someone from a long-living race. arch In terms of attractiveness as a lady, the latter is surprisingly more appealing.”
“Hmm?”
“W, what do you mean…?”
