Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1)

He postponed answering their questions and suddenly left, only to zone out regularly after coming back.

That was the conclusion Marie had come to upon observing Korin for a while since his return after a voluntary aid mission.

‘Maybe… I was pressuring him too much.’

There was something wrong with Korin these days.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Now, that’s it for today’s lesson. canvas Well done everyone.”

Urging him to make a decision might have been too much of a pressure for him, but even then, Marie wanted to hear his reply.

Despite being aware of a potential and fearsome future where she wasn’t chosen by him, there was a strong desire in her to be chosen by him over anyone else.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Korin…”

It’s not like she wanted him to give her a response right at this moment. arctic Korin didn’t seem to be in a good mood these days, so she simply wanted to have a chat with him.

At the end of the combined lesson of 3rd and 4th year students, Marie approached Korin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

He seemed repulsed as if he came in contact with something that shouldn’t be touched, which came as a great shock to Marie.

“K, Korin?”

“Hugek…!”

But the moment she tapped him on his shoulder, Korin reacted in a fright.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, s, sorry. attic I was thinking about something else.”

It was the first time that this had happened.

Korin… shrugged me off?

“U, uun… N, no problem!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Uh, uhh… You know…”

Marie forced herself to maintain the bright look in her eyes and attempted to dismiss it like it wasn’t a big deal.

“What… is it?” he asked.

She knew that both Korin and herself were vaguely looking forward to it every time but…

It was a tacit promise the two of them had. antenna Although he was awkward about it at first, Marie knew how Korin wasn’t against their bodies being in a very close proximity whenever she was sucking his blood.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

It was the first time in the past 3 years that she had been rejected like this. arcade Marie was so shocked that she forgot to even breathe and froze stiff.

“Sorry sunbae. alpha Not today. anchor Maybe next time…”

“Haht?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Let’s do it next time, okay… I have to go, bye!”

“I, it’s been more than ten days though…”

A great joy that blood packs couldn’t give her went further and further away.

All she could do was watch him leave in a rush.

Human habits were hard to change.

****

Although he had defeated Tates Valtazar and was the strongest person in the entire planet who didn’t require any more training, Korin frequented the training rooms regardless.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Korin-ssi. meadow You seem a little… different today.”

And that was why Alicia was able to monopolize Korin for herself in the training room.

Many people looked for him whenever he was outside to lay their eyes on the Sun, the hero, or the one behind the prophecy and such, but the training rooms of the Academy were mostly quiet as the youthful teenagers preferred other ways of spending their time.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Hmm…”

“You don’t seem as sharp today. arrow If you weren’t planning on going for a full-on attack with a stab, I think it would have been better for you to snap my sword away instead.”

Since there were only a few that could fight on their level, Alicia and Korin tended to give feedback to one another to make up for anything they lacked. beacon It was mostly Korin giving feedback to Alicia, but today was a little bit different.

Taking a break after a duel, the two of them were wiping off sweat with their towels. accent It was only a 10 minute break but that didn’t stop the two from having a discussion about martial arts.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Noticing that Korin had been silent this whole time, Alicia wondered if was devising a new spearmanship or something, but soon realized that his serious eyes had been on her.

“…”

“Korin-ssi?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“W, what is it?”

“Alicia…”

“K, kuhum…! admire It’s a bit embarrassing if you keep staring like that.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Alicia gulped as her cheeks turned red. amber It couldn’t be helped as she could feel the strong, blazing passion in his eyes as Korin stood up and began walking towards her.

Until the war against Valtazar, Alicia often attempted to have more physical contact with Korin. portal Although he seemed slightly troubled by it at times, he didn’t appear to hate it altogether.

What was he going to say?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Alicia,” he said.

“You should be wearing proper clothes.”

“K, kuhum… Yes?”

She was currently drenched in sweat but… that too could be a positive when seducing guys, right? galaxy After all, she still remembered how Korin was stealing glances at the bead of sweat traveling down her neck.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“…Sorry?”

“It is not a good sight for a lady of a marriageable age to be so open.”

His words were so out of the blue that it caught her completely off guard.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

As such, it was normal for everything from her casual clothes to party dresses to reveal either her cleavage or the side of her chest, and she tended to have little coverage over her thighs as well.

Indeed, it was true that Alicia wore clothes that were a bit more revealing than normal. acquire The El Rath Kingdom was quite open about skin exposure in the first place, and it was even more the case for the Arden Household as they were located at a humid environment to the east.

W, was he saying that after all this time?

Such things were normal in the east where she grew up, so Alicia didn’t think much about it but…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“And let’s avoid being just the two of us like this from now on. alpha We need to be mindful of other people’s eyes.”

“U, uhh…”

“You ought to wear clothes with less exposure than this. abandon It’s a bit uncomfortable.”

“K, Korin-ssi?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

You’ve been glancing every time though!

Alicia was puzzled by Korin, who had suddenly turned into a conservative male.

You are saying that after all this time? acoustic A bit late isn’t it?!

It was around 11 pm after a coloring session with Ren and Ron, that Hua Ran was climbing up the stairs.

****

[Is it your turn today?]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

The place she was headed was not her room but Korin’s.

“…Un.”

[It’s been so long though… Can I sleep with him today~?]

It had been 2 years since the first time she slept on the same bed as Korin. adapt It started as something to alleviate her boredom but these days, it was an important part of their routine as Hua and Ran took turns sleeping with Korin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

[Hing~]

– Knock knock!

“No. sphere You lost the coin toss already.”

Actually, it had been a while since both of them had slept with Korin. echo After finding out the truth behind how babies were made back in the North, Hua Ran had been keeping her distance from Korin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Entering the room, she saw Korin sitting on the bed reading a book. acid Seeing Korin in his pajamas for the first time in a long time, Hua felt her heart starting to race.

And since Korin left for a long-term voluntary mission immediately after that, it had been a very long time for the two of them.

– Come in.

[Why? agent It’s cute.]

‘I should have worn… different pajamas.’

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

[???]

‘But instead of cute… something that’s, that’s…’

Even to her sister, Hua couldn’t reveal that she was thinking about lingeries, or revealing clothes that Marie, Alicia or Estelle would wear.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“What are you reading?”

“…”

“Why don’t you come in?” beacon Korin invited her in, seeing Hua stay silent for a long time near the door.

Walking up, Hua took a seat on the enormous bed right next to Korin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“…A book about philosophy.”

“Like a philosophical debate on… interpersonal relationships…”

“Philosophy?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s very intriguing. aspect Makes me wonder how a book like this could exist.”

“Is it fun?” she asked instead.

Hua stole a glance at the title on the front cover of the book he was reading, but couldn’t understand what it meant.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

[Why do you need philosophy on marriage? arch I wonder why he’s reading case studies from overseas.]

“Really?”

She didn’t seem to understand it either.

Hua leaned her head on his shoulder and read the book with him, but it was so full of difficult words that she couldn’t understand much of what it was saying. arena She wondered if Ran knew.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m sleepy.”

“…Alright.”

Although it was hard to read, the warmth being conveyed through her cheeks was so addictive that she continued reading the incomprehensible array of letters.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“You can use my arm then…”

The two of them had been sleeping on the same bed for a long time, but Hua often didn’t bring her own pillow. atlas On her part, it was because she learned over time that Korin would provide his arm to be used instead of a pillow if she didn’t have one, but there was no way for Korin to know that.

Seeing Hua dozing off, Korin closed his book. athlete He then noticed that there was only one pillow on the bed.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“???”

[Oppa?]

Korin paused in the middle, right as he was about to habitually lend her his arm.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“You two… Let’s stop sleeping on the same bed from now on.”

“…!!”

For a decent period of time, Korin stayed thinking like that before suddenly giving a shocking announcement to the two of them.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

[Huhh? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ]

“There is a Confucian saying that you shouldn’t even let boys and girls sit together past the age of 7. wizard It wasn’t right in the first place to have a lady of a marriageable age to be sleeping on the same bed as a male.”

What was this about all of a sudden? august Hua Ran blankly stood there blinking her eyes but Korin didn’t give her the time to process it.

“But…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“T, that much is fine…”

It’s been two years though?

It had already been two years since they had warmed up each other’s bedside at night, so what was he saying after all this time?

“My sleeping habits aren’t that good either, right? abstract I accidentally touched you during my sleep and you hit me as well.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Hua was so shocked that she stuttered but Korin remained firm.

“Wait…”

“No. antique Looking back, I’ve been way too inattentive. harbor I should have done this much earlier.”

Hua Ran blankly stood there looking at the door closed shut before their eyes.

They were chased out of the room.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Having a tight hug while letting Marie suck my blood; stealing glances when Alicia, drenched in sweat, would defenselessly wipe her armpits; and I would sleep at night with Hua Ran by my side.

I had been enjoying such things as if it was a privilege just given to me.

After coming back, I started putting distance between myself and the girls.

Thinking logically, this was the right decision and after rationally looking back at my own actions, I realized just how inattentive I had been this whole time.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

It was wrong! silence We weren’t even dating and I had crossed the line too much!

“Fuu… It would be a nightmare if the Precepts got activated again…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

And most importantly, there was a reason why I was being careful not to be tied down into a relationship with one specific girl.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

This past week, I had been locked up in Park Sihu’s alternate dimension acting like a husband.

I had definitely killed Park Sihu; I dealt with him ahead of time right as he was about to kill Alicia and saved her, but the 99th Park Sihu appeared in front of me in her real body as Park Sirin.

Park Sihu… or Park Sirin, was it? palette The one that hypnotized me and said she loved me was most certainly the 99th Park Sihu from the last iteration.

To this day I still couldn’t understand.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Was that the system all along? athlete Were you sending people back to earth when they died? artist What a freaking nice-ass system?! voyage Isn’t it usually ‘The End’ when you die?

Then who was the Park Sihu I had killed? advance Was it a simple copy mimicking the same moves? voyage Or a different version; the 100th Park Sihu?

Regardless of whether it was Park Sihu or Park Sirin, or 99th or 100th, what was important was that Park Sihu, who should have died in any case, had safely returned back to earth.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Well… that wasn’t the important part.

I felt like I had been disadvantaged this whole time, thinking that my life would be over the moment I died.

〚I will not disregard the misfortune of the good.〛

Whatever the case, it meant that Park Sirin had somehow returned to this world through the dimensions… and in that process, I unintentionally experienced the backlash I would receive from the Precept.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Duty and the 1st Precept, that I would not disregard the misfortune of the good. apple It showed off its horrible side-effects even in love relationships.

An extra quest.

[Fulfil your Precept]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

What I had felt was merely 50% of the entire penalty. altitude Well, considering I was getting the backlash from seven S-ranked quests at once, I was fortunate to not be dead already.

“Fuck…”

[You are not fulfilling your Precept. 50% penalty has been applied.]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

Whatever. aspect Complaining would get me nowhere.

“………”

“But like, technically, am I not the Danann of the Sun? acoustic Like a God of the Sun?”

Was I going to die just from not following Precepts?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“So I die if I choose one huh? arrow What kind of stupid quest is this!?”

That seemed… unavoidable.

What was certain was that if I didn’t beat all the extra quests, I would face the repercussions from the remaining six failed quests.

That would probably kill me.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“……Woof!”

[Doggo?]

I couldn’t consult this with most people, and eventually I found Doggo, my biological son. altitude I coincidentally crossed paths with him, while he was strolling the streets in the form of a large dog having dirty relationships with female dogs around the town.

He was walking out of a clothing shop in the city, wearing the most expensive branded clothes from that store when I found him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

It felt a bit weird, and made me wonder if this would be how a parent would feel seeing their son walking out of an expensive shop.

This guy… He was using the whole 5th floor of the Guardians Office as his dressroom wasn’t he…?

[……]

[……]

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

I took Doggo to a nearby high-class restaurant and asked for advice.

His mother definitely got him into a wrong habit, but even a son as terrible as that… could help me with one thing.

[Doggo. august Should we have some food together?]

What kind of dog-human likes branded clothes so much? apple He never ate dog feed for food either; he only ate MB9+ meat.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a bit… complicated for daddy. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. orbit I know what you’re saying, but this whole relationship is very complex. atomic I have my ‘Duty’ involved, and I can’t make any of them unhappy.”

“Woof?”

“So… that’s how everything is right now.”

“Woof woof!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Woof. adopt Woof wooooof!”

“Do you think I wanted this situation for myself?! timber And aren’t you siding with your mother way too much? audit I’m your father, you know? ‘Father’! atlas Excuse me?! shadow How dare you say that to your biological father? echo What? voyage Put that finger down would you!?”

Doggo wasn’t the nicest counsellor, but while gulping down on the 36 ounces of medium rare steak, he continued listening to my story.

“Fuu… so the problem boils down to this. wizard How do I untie this complex knot of a relationship without making any of them unhappy?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

– What a trashy thing to be worried about, papa.

I know! anchor I know I’m trash! riddle But let me hear some advice from my son, who has so much relationship experience that he’s leading a debaucherous life!

– It’s simple. arch You just have to satisfy all the bitches.

“Woo. advance Woooof!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

– Why do you have to choose only one?

“Woof?”

“How is that possible though? avalanche If I choose one, the rest would be unhappy…”

– You can eat them all. advance What’s the concern?

“Huh?”

“Woof woof.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

However, I couldn’t manage to correct him on his word choice. anchor Although there was a problem with his choice of words…

“You… have a point!”

What’s with your words! afford I know you’re a dog, but come on! acquire What do you mean ‘eat’?

“Oi you…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

How did I not think about this before?

If choosing one would make the rest unfortunate, why not just choose all of them?

Doggo’s advice provided a simple solution to the questions I had been asking myself while pushing the girls away.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

I know, I know! wizard It sounds like something a piece of trash would say.

“That’s it! alert Harem! canvas Harem was the solution all along!”

Because all of them loved me so much; so much so that they would become so unhappy to the point that the Precept considered them to be misfortunate, I had no choice but to choose all of them to make everyone happy!

But there’s no other option, right?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 261: Side Story – The Agony of a Playboy (1) by Indra Translations.

“Woof woof! album Krrrhh…!”

‘Truth will set you free’
