Chapter 291: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 3 Transfer Student With Experience (3)
bY6N8The shock over my brother-in-law’s waywardness lasted only a moment, because I decided to think positively.AeSQ
2Bw3“Phew… in the end, he’s still a man.”V53oh
peVrxHe’s handsome. He has money.zWA
VUMtyHe’s the second son of a ducal house.fSF
W7eTCnHe’s in an environment where it’s inevitable that women approach him.33S
ggWD0That he might get a bit carried away and go from seeing two to seeing three isn’t all that strange.OmUL2AV
UzQLNo. No, yes, it is strange. Quite strange.CCFL9l
WdHIn my time, I wasn’t like that. I had principles, respected fidelity, was kind to women, and didn’t flirt around recklessly.hZwppDh
6wdtr8Growl! Growl growl! Son! What are those barks toward your father! Barking!Tpa
bpijI feel as if I’m hearing the scolding of a nonexistent eldest son, but it must just be my imagination.b0qhaj
pZFJLW4Anyway, I hope my brother-in-law’s deviation is just a temporary phenomenon of turbulent adolescence, but they say the tree bends from when it’s a sapling.0bPeY
aadFUj0Wouldn’t it be better to impose discipline from an early age so you don’t suffer later?wLvZfJ
wsuyWhat if he ends up growing into one of those guys who say, “I’m going to marry three wives”? What if he becomes a womanizing playboy?tI28c
3quv…………S4jpHx
uU92……mFy
aWNo…IIpcf6
g1PaRUqDoesn’t sound that bad?hHb
kR8ClWGrowl! Grrrrr… growl!fpfQ
GPxhPII know, I know! Polygamy should stay only as a fantasy.dN0S
ChZIn practice, doing it turns you into a detestable guy. If I hadn’t been cornered by the precepts, I would have chosen only one.Tl7UmOp
XrwJb“What a gain.”oobJ
oEBu“Aaah! No! Not that! I said no!”w3EH
3oGOWF“No, but still, the harem…”RTzsYL
I9ws“Aaaah!”mHZV4TR
mTFyQ50I wasn’t like this when I was on Earth! Why have I turned into this kind of man now?uRQ
VdcLkWhen I hung out with Younghee, Hanbyul, Seyoung, Chulho, Sangwoo, Misha, or Fujiwara, things like this never happened.0tRdx
L73pqyBack then, I was pure.jBgei
XeFWe went with Sangwoo on a hot spring trip to Hokkaido to celebrate a victory at the Asian Games, and by mistake entered a gay bar.tiLh
8O0kp1FI learned sports massage to cheer up Misha when she was frustrated by an Olympic injury.R7aro
4KWwPvtWith Fujiwara I watched fireworks at the floral park festival, traveled by train with Younghee, appeared as a guest on Hanbyul’s sports channel, and even traveled to Paris to visit Chulho when he went to study cooking in France.BWLe
qZ28uDI even ended up accidentally participating in an LGBT demonstration, raising my voice for the rights of sexual minorities.RKaka
O2JWhile I lived a pure youth, full of friendship and passion, it will be hard for my brother-in-law to do the same.dDP
OxvnEuSUnlike my friends, who had no ulterior motives, there’s no guarantee that the women around him are the same.JwYLFR0
c4TP“Tsk, tsk tsk. He’s already getting way too loose this early.”Z3s
umewZI can’t just stand by and do nothing about my brother-in-law’s waywardness. If he goes astray, my wife will be sad.xXCMzLG
hKdtThe next day, we entered the same class, in the same classroom.VvOL
5G6The Merkabah Academy and the Royal Academy mainly operate with common classes.vPXxaN
clmThey aren’t strictly divided into knighthood or magic departments, nor do you choose a specialization like at a university.tQDEd
QibEiWell, for an upper secondary level, this is normal.GkY3
Z6c3CThe Merkabah Academy was different because it mixed secondary school and university.Bfi4Eo
TlrOK“With that, we conclude the class.”Yx2NNjq
b1tAnother difference of the Royal Academy is that breaks are quite long.BlF
FLlSAt the Guardian Academy, excluding travel time, breaks were barely ten minutes, but here recess lasts a full hour.6dJ
Hh6“How enviable, Shia.”6UPvNd
JUTuJlIn my time, that didn’t exist. As soon as class ended, I went straight to training.pQC3H7
cFTAnyway, taking advantage of the long break, I took what I had prepared and went to look for my brother-in-law.DFdop
6ek“Brother-in-law!”S0jMA9
MmndXA“Brother-in-law? Ah…”kHI
nyczH4Rovert Dunaleff reacted when he saw me. Since the wedding, Shia and he hadn’t met again.y8MVGcR
RrNuXw“Ah… hello. It’s the first time since the wedding, right? I’m Shia Loch.”GRBvIY1
0X68“I’m Rovert Dunaleff, sister-in-law.”jQcttf
kOLOh, look at him. That smile is the typical business smile. He was quite close with me, but with Shia he keeps this distance.tigje
72Gl“It’s nothing special. Since we’re in the same class, I thought I’d bring a snack.”UTx
XkiirpW“Ah, you didn’t have to trouble yourself.”2YAOIvz
XSBJWCVHeh. Even if he keeps smiling like that, I know it well. If he has Dunaleff blood, he can’t refuse this.7GtIQ
ZrqEG“Here! Potatoes I boiled myself this morning!”hJupy
PxRPNO“Ah, I don’t like potatoes.”AQw5C2
B3Zy5XZ—Boom!PkdlVc
9mopWhat? What did I just hear?BxDM2
RufqHe doesn’t like potatoes? A Dunaleff? The prince of the Potato Empire can’t stand potatoes? What kind of blasphemy is this?pj6
NZR“You don’t… like potatoes?”pKyYR1w
0sv0o“Not all southerners love potatoes.”UIaIhP
oCH7“Ah… I see…”RnH
TO7A0AFor a member of the Potato Empire’s royalty to reject potatoes—wasn’t that a place where even babies were born asking for boiled potatoes?ywg
Z64PWxAnyway, as I awkwardly withdrew, my brother-in-law spoke.vv2
mUg“Sister-in-law. If you don’t mind, would you like to go out after classes? I’ve received an invitation from some young ladies.”zhS5mh
VBYSKZ“Huh? Ah… yes?”Qs9lyI
c657KybI wanted to get closer, so it doesn’t sound bad, but this situation feels quite uncomfortable.4bkOq9
9D9***qHKYR
qjLyZInShia Loch.N2ysJxq
6duThe younger sister of my sister’s husband.2LWLzA
agaMALrWhen I saw her for the first time, she had a rather adorable air, but upon entering the upper division, her atmosphere began to resemble my brother-in-law’s in a surprising way.BGwz
To5The dark blue hair she used to wear in twin ponytails was now tied into a single ponytail, just like his, and the fierceness emanating from her gaze and her presence was practically identical.ZHO
M47eSo when she spoke to me on the second day, I couldn’t help but smile inwardly.F2US0
6j2hAh, I see. This young woman is the same as the others too.LE7RN
wwBAfter living in the south up through the middle division, this was her first time coming up to the royal capital, and she was beginning to realize how easy life here could be.SImD
k3PHe was Rovert Dunaleff.JfDoIP7
ZFjThe second son of the Dunaleff duchy, called the southern empire, owner of two million hectares of farmland and six million hectares of territory.R2gOUJ4
smZThe next duchess would be his older sister, Marie, and he also had two younger brothers and three younger sisters, but even so, the fortune and power that would fall to him exceeded any imagination.npLo
wwU9Just his monthly allowance alone was an astronomical sum even by the standards of the nobles of the capital.OU03
v1Gt2NIt was not strange that young noblewomen considered him the best possible match.eVw
JDFL1aF“Kyaa~! Young Lord Dunaleff, you’re incredibly handsome!”pfrf4Me
7bfofO“Is it true you can use magic? Could we see it?”D7Yy
2CDFrom the very first day, the young noblewomen of the capital had been clinging to him.ohTwwTC
96nHandsome like his father and mother, rich, and with guaranteed power as the second son of a great duchy.12YM
EO0k5QcI… might I be an impressive man?G95
l5LeNGrIt was not strange for a seventeen-year-old adolescent like Dunaleff to think that way.ex0
dc7RRather, coming from a family that was quite simple if one ignored the absurd scale at which they spent money as if breathing itself cost money, he was only now becoming aware of the greatness of his lineage.Hx16
5BdjHgeThat was why, when his young sister-in-law approached him pretending familiarity, it even seemed amusing.Kq01w1
XAZCNa7She had a peculiar charm, yes, but compared to the dazzling noble girls of the capital, hmm.LJqeOOC
5jDfIf she had not been the younger sister of his brother-in-law, he would not even have bothered to deal with her.cl3D
L3E1M“Even so, for my brother-in-law’s sake…”Jbjya
NM2gIt wasn’t bad to get along.DDmW
05RThat day as well, Rovert invited Shia into the group of young noblewomen who wanted to spend time with him.6R4Oq
tjBvDa“Uh~ everyone… hello.”5CeDA
LKMShia definitely stood out among the noble girls.XGhM
A4j35Not so much because of her beauty, but because of her clothing.aCFOcx
n9kbkuo“My, Miss Loch. You’re wearing trousers?”es1u8
BZv5jSaid a young woman in a striking red dress, covering her mouth with a fan.uJurV
pVySurely, behind the fan there was a twisted smile.A8aVo
hF7“Yes, well… they said we were going out, so I came dressed comfortably.”59ViN
JsgbIIn reality, it was Corin’s choice, who outside of classes simply could not stand wearing skirts, but the young women began to laugh disdainfully.fl3M
wj0OM“Even if you are close friends, this is an outing with the young lord of the great Dunaleff duchy and with young ladies from prestigious families. You should have shown a bit more decorum.”OZGY
rTLw“Oh, really?”Sz4zwq
fPVbHAmong the young noblewomen, mockery and ironic smiles spread.eFHoHI
scrIn the end, she was nothing more than the daughter of an ordinary family who had suddenly risen thanks to her brother being a great hero.cGk
pR9rHad she not even acquired a basic education?Q21o
BEs“Damn it…”lA0Kyld
fP9ERovert realized his mistake.llVgl1
vLMXtHe had not expected his young sister-in-law to become a target of the nobles’ hostility.JITN
TZgclHe should have foreseen it when bringing someone of common origin among aristocratic young women.hKQLvi
Yff“Ladies, don’t do that—”jjV9Ux
7jWmEUE“Well, isn’t it fine like this?”ubNh
zQsa“What did you say?”AdUggm
aSpojKThe young woman who had opened fire first slightly furrowed her brow at Shia’s firm reply.lgY
rc33“That among such beautiful flowers, there is at least one bee.”mFlpsNV
kex“…What?”hVpK
WWBThe young woman was left speechless, forgetting even to cover her face with the fan.8OL3
dyf7qnP“Beautiful flowers, like you, spread their petals. I, as a bee, only have to flap my wings strongly. Your dress is very pretty.”nQcmK
XNf“T-that…!”2Kaj
Aa0Just as she was about to say something, Shia’s index finger gently came to rest in front of her lips.8jHui
yqLsGAWhile adjusting an open button at the young woman’s neckline, Shia spoke.D4t3
e0Z“I think it’s better for you to worry about yourself rather than someone like me. Dangerous bees can approach such pretty flowers.”XUrMw
GFH“Ah… ah…”gXsAcrQ
jT4MtBare face, without makeup.kDrMQ
OEPrBut Shia’s wild atmosphere and masculine attire completely overwhelmed the noble girls.RoBx8c
Xss9HAIf one were to express Shia’s inner thoughts, or rather, Corin Loch’s, it would be something like this.QgZHt
f1ibi“That among such beautiful flowers, there is at least one bee.”fgBUdG
13sAqA2— Dresses are your thing. I’m not going to wear them.s4o8
J6f80kK“Beautiful flowers, like you, spread their petals. I, as a bee, only have to flap my wings strongly. Your dress is very pretty.”sKM
Fi2HxT— It doesn’t suit me. That’s why I don’t wear it.L9aKLrN
F0Bq“I think it’s better for you to worry about yourself rather than someone like me. Dangerous bees can approach such pretty flowers.”yXY
IhG— I said I won’t wear it. You be careful too. If you dress like that, you’ll attract men with bad intentions.OS2f
kBsCorin was someone who would not wear dresses even if it killed him.kTo
uga“……”29A15T4
1VTDWatching the scene, Rovert thought.XupdHNj
mKGjBE‘My young sister-in-law is interesting.’1Fz
R3GlPIt was a huge mistake.sOvojEb
eHZAJFS***r4W
jygIF1“Shall we eat together?”mThE
GK21bIt was something my brother-in-law suddenly said.NLXt5
xSzIc9e“Go eat?”hOI
R49SBqc“Yes. It’s the first time I’m spending time like this with you.”08revCH
nyM0UKYThat was true. They had barely seen each other, at most at the wedding and the prior gathering.6juY
QQFb2o“Then, what shall we eat? The academy food is quite good.”f2OJ8o
JCb0S0V“Academy food? Hahaha, you’re mistaken. I meant eating out, not here.”Pg7
NgK5dl8“Isn’t there a curfew in the dormitory?”Grb
ZgI“It’s enough to talk it over with the dorm tutor. It’s me and Miss Loch.”nV1EE
8VtSHRjSee that? Already developing a sense of privilege.nd0
A0PmQyUYour sister didn’t even go out at night at the Merkabah Academy except when she went to cook potatoes!nS92r
GRoN3Even so, since there was an invitation to eat, I accepted.NSPzs
EfT“It’s here. A famous restaurant in the capital.”3IFk
Pr4J‘Ah, I’ve been here with Marie.’jrFT7R5
lQpD6More precisely, I used to go to the main branch.IUPgcS
8Ecniz4The Visenrow restaurant had its headquarters in the southern city of Duphe.HsvS
b6hvf3“Isn’t the main branch in the south?”L6iW
Lc0“Oh, do you know it? It’s been featured quite a lot in magazines.”UIHNX
OXCoIt didn’t occur to him that I had already been to the main branch. Well, Shia was from the capital.0Z7c
UxtWA“I’ve been coming with my family since I was little. When I heard they had opened a branch here, I wanted to come.”AZy7fn
AU2“There are a lot of people.”1X1zh2J
tYOBEu“It’s very famous. They say nobles come often.”j8qxGmn
YdasSOh really? I didn’t know. With Marie, we always reserved the whole place.jY3F
5ikI“What would you like to order? If it’s your first time, the best thing is—”M4NcBD
Hjmmn“Potato salad, Elbon steak medium-rare, and the duck cooked at low temperature. The wine… ah, right, we’re minors.”3WK
ZhzX6aD“R-right.”VuBI
8qWra“You’ll have something similar too, right? I heard you like this duck. Marie told me… I mean, my sister.”aJxP
A54hRovert nodded. Every time they came as a family, he always ordered that dish.KhWLVL
CnX“Will I eat the potato salad?”zrAu
ZbAokc“Y-yes.”fNeW
v5Ua“But how long are you going to talk like that?”x7zy
yUE“Huh?”lmF0A
uHh“We’re the same age. Use casual speech.”RxZddE
7xhU“R-really?”VsbOK
picX“Of course. Between equals, speaking formally is weird. Okay?”QjlX
TI4“O-okay.”q8Dj
XsxhwZ“Good. But tell me one thing.”cYSDp
cLffvRovert nodded, a little nervous.ichcU
9Qut9sV“Go ahead… I mean, say it.”JJPtq
VZB2“Do you really not like potatoes?”KBT
S8Q“……No.”I0uK
NCd13qi“I knew it.”KikBON
mCeIAnd thus, Rovert answered honestly.DzMIM8
NMEI***eNn
bqLQknA strange woman.65M9A
4MSToThe more he talked with Shia, the more he thought that.lI04
CskqEShe was easygoing and informal, yet had a gentle firmness.4udF18
mmRy1KShe seemed innocent, but hid a wild sharpness.YANYbED
CqXKShia Loch made keen observations, as if she could see right through him, but always smiled warmly.3bQ
XjuCQqj“Did you say you didn’t like potatoes because you were afraid people would see you as a southern peasant?”ILC
aYLO5“Yes… well, yes. Everyone thinks the south is just agriculture.”TLvFAC7
eWtWS“And what’s wrong with that? How much fortune does your family have?”xNn2B2
KpJhy3UAs if they were lifelong friends, Shia had the gift of making people feel comfortable.I1tuF6
n8fcpRAnd above all—8yOjNn
52B‘She shouldn’t be an unfamiliar woman, but for some reason, she has my sister’s scent…’ykVW
4Ec6She even knew his tastes well.de5bpp9
OtxDIt was a strange experience.YXOUGRC
