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

There was something wrong with Korin these days.

‘Maybe… I was pressuring him too much.’

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

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.

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.

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

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

“Korin…”

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

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

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

“Hugek…!”

“K, Korin?”

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

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

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

“U, uun… N, no problem!”

Korin… shrugged me off?

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

It was the first time that this had happened.

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

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

“Uh, uhh… You know…”

“What… is it?” he asked.

She hinted at something with her eyes.

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

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. silence 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.

“Sorry sunbae. echo Not today. arcade Maybe next time…”

“Haht?!”

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. shadow Marie was so shocked that she forgot to even breathe and froze stiff.

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

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

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

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.

Human habits were hard to change.

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.

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

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

“Hmm…”

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

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. absorb It was mostly Korin giving feedback to Alicia, but today was a little bit different.

“You don’t seem as sharp today. apron 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.”

“Korin-ssi?”

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

“Alicia…”

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

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.

“W, what is it?”

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

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

What was he going to say?

Alicia gulped as her cheeks turned red. portal 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.

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

“Alicia,” he said.

“K, kuhum… Yes?”

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

“You should be wearing proper clothes.”

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

“…Sorry?”

W, was he saying that after all this time?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Indeed, it was true that Alicia wore clothes that were a bit more revealing than normal. abstract 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.

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. arch We need to be mindful of other people’s eyes.”

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

For the past 3 years!

You’ve been glancing every time though!

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

“…Un.”

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.

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

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

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

It had been 2 years since the first time she slept on the same bed as Korin. altitude 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.

– Knock knock!

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

[Hing~]

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

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.

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

– Come in.

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

‘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.

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

[???]

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

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?” echo 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.”

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

“Philosophy?”

“Like a philosophical debate on… interpersonal relationships…”

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

“Really?”

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

“Is it fun?” she asked instead.

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. timber 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.

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.

She didn’t seem to understand it either.

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

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

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

“…Alright.”

“I’m sleepy.”

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

The two of them had been sleeping on the same bed for a long time, but Hua often didn’t bring her own pillow. aluminum 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.

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

“You can use my arm then…”

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

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

“…”

[Oppa?]

“???”

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. ]

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

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

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

“There is a Confucian saying that you shouldn’t even let boys and girls sit together past the age of 7. antique 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.”

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?

“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…”

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

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

“So you two. acoustic Let’s sleep separately from today.”

“Wait…”

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

To this day I still couldn’t understand.

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

“Fuu… It would be a nightmare if the Precepts got activated again…”

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

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? apple The one that hypnotized me and said she loved me was most certainly the 99th Park Sihu from the last iteration.

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

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? acquire Were you sending people back to earth when they died? atlas What a freaking nice-ass system?! meadow Isn’t it usually ‘The End’ when you die?

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

Well… that wasn’t the important part.

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.

An extra quest.

[Fulfil your Precept]

〚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.

“Fuck…”

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

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

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

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.

“………”

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.

Whatever. action Complaining would get me nowhere.

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? adapt What kind of stupid quest is this!?”

“……Woof!”

[……]

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

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

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

[……]

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

“Woof woof!”

“Woof?”

“It’s a bit… complicated for daddy. alien I know what you’re saying, but this whole relationship is very complex. amateur I have my ‘Duty’ involved, and I can’t make any of them unhappy.”

“Woof. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. galaxy Woof wooooof!”

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

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

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

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

I know! silence I know I’m trash! agent 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. altitude You just have to satisfy all the bitches.

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

“Woo. alpha Woooof!”

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

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

“You… have a point!”

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

How did I not think about this before?

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

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.

“That’s it! abandon Harem! atom Harem was the solution all along!”

‘Truth will set you free’

I have found the truth!

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!

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