Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4)
On the day of the party, after wearing the delivered suit, dress shoes, and the watch, I stood in front of the mirror.
It’s not like I never had to wear suits in the last iteration and my previous life. portal Both in interviews and when I was meeting people from the royal court or high officials, I had to dress myself up.
But because I was still a knight, I didn’t have enough money to spend on a suit as someone who constantly had to fight.
“…This feels unbelievably comfortable.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“It was quite expensive for me back then though.”
Ah… Was that why the 2nd Princess gave me cash? action So that I didn’t have to wear clothes like a beggar?
‘I remember buying a cheap one from one of the stalls for 70 silvers.’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
The scary thing was that Marie bought me even more than this. autumn There were so many clothes that I probably didn’t have to buy anything else in my entire life, but the problem was that I had to take them back.
Right now, the suit I was wearing was already worth one white gold coin, and the watch and shoes added up with the tie cost about one white gold coin and a half in total.
How am I supposed to carry all of them back?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
There was a door connecting the Evergreen Room to Marie’s room. abstract Opening the door, Marie came into the room.
“Korin! shadow Are you ready?”
“Ohh…”
“Yes.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
It was breathtaking.
Along with transparent glass shoes, she was wearing ivory-colored stockings and a dress with a hint of water-colored drops. galaxy The daring exposure of her chest and her shoulders was probably an expression of her unreserved pride.
“How does this look? anchor It just arrived today!”
Marie was even wearing some makeup unlike her usual self. absorb Her skin that was already as white as white jade became as bright as the star of a night sky with the help of makeup.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
Honestly, seeing her made me feel worthwhile. zenith If I hadn’t saved this girl, I wouldn’t have been able to see her in this dress today, and the people of the south would have forever lost their beloved princess.
She was as bright and mystifying as a dancing fairy.
Lifting the sides of her dress with her pure white opera gloves, Marie rotated on the spot.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
[When in front of an attractive lady, it is the courtesy of a gentleman to give her a kiss and ask for a dance, Knight Korin.]
Marie tilted her head but without paying attention to that, I unhesitatingly walked up to her.
“Nn?”
“It was definitely worth the trouble.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“U, uht…! antenna Umm! amateur Ahh?!”
I remembered being scolded in the last iteration by someone, so I decided to be a courteous gentleman this time around. orbit By gently holding onto her hand through the opera glove, I gazed up at her after going down on one of my knees.
Her cheeks were visibly flushed. august Even her ears were reddened and it seemed that she wasn’t used to things like this.
“Could you please give me the honor of having your first dance tonight, my lady?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Huh? action Nn! alien Of course! adopt Of course I will! meadow Okay! autumn I will definitely do that!”
How cute.
“I will be asking you like that tonight, so it would be nice if you could accept my offer for me.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
For some reason, the maids were whispering to each other behind Marie.
“…I knew it, he’s a player.”
“Isn’t this dangerous? absorb It looks like she would give everything to him.”
“Our Lady fell for a gold digger.”

In their conversation, there were a few words about real estate and inns… are they interested? All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com advance To be fair, real estate is the best way to multiply your money. harbor They are overpowered after all!
Even with the incredible ears of a knight, it was hard for me to pick up all the words in their conversation. silence They were exceptionally skilled at practically talking in silence.
“Now, shall we get going?”
Maybe I should talk to them later about investment!
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“P, please stop…!”

“Of course, my Lady.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
She was tempted there for a second.
“Anyway, stop calling me by strange names! auction I am your senior so you need to listen to me!”
“…??”
“Then should I call you the Princess of the Potato Empire?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
In any case, we got into the guest room of Senior Marie’s enormous beast, the Hresvelgr, and headed to the count’s castle located further south. anchor It would have taken a few days by carriage, but it only took a few hours on this guy.
“Of course, my princess.”
“Korin. artist You…!”
Marie punched my arm in protest… and honestly, it was quite painful. august Her strength was nothing to scoff at…
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“…Don’t even say that as a joke please. alien You are pampering me too much.”
“Ehew. anchor I wonder when I can get myself one of these.”
“Nn? arcade Do you want me to give it to you?”
It was scary because she really might give it to me if I asked her for one.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“We will get off in the middle and change into a carriage.”
Merkarva City prohibited the entry of flying animals for security purposes as well, so it was all the more useless for me.
“Can’t we just jump off from here?”
Even if she did give it to me, there was no way for me to use it. abstract Large beasts like wyverns let alone Hresvelgrs needed a place to dock and I didn’t have any.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“A mage at your level should be able to stop that without a problem though. ability Right?”
“No! audit My dress and my hair will become a mess then.”
Jumping straight down from flying beasts like the secret ops was something I had often done in the last iteration.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“That’s true too.”
“Ahh. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. portal Lady Marie! acoustic Welcome!”
“Other people will also be surprised! apron It’s not good etiquette.”
In any case, we landed on a nearby plain and moved into a carriage of the Dunareff family that was waiting for us beforehand to head to the castle.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
‘I swear this guy wasn’t like this before…’
Was he really the same guy as the one who stubbornly refused to open the castle gates before we killed the Sea Serpent?
“Hello, Lord Casseus!”
As if he had been waiting for her the whole time, Count Casseus hurried his way over immediately after spotting the golden potato flower emblem of the Dunareff family.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
After saying that, Count Casseus led us to the side of the queue of people that was waiting for inspection in front of the castle’s entrance and simply let us through.
“Oh my. admire It really is Lady Marie.”
“It is an honor to see you again. antique Our Vlandria family will wholeheartedly welcome you for your visit, Miss!”
“The news about having a guest from Dunareff was true then.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
What I realized the past few days was that it wasn’t an overstatement to say that the influential power of the Dunareff family was at an absolute level in the south.
Let alone the ridiculous size of their farm that reached 2 million hectares in size, they were a bigshot that pretty much had full control over 25 cities and the continent’s trade market.
“Lord Vlandria must be doing very well these days.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
‘In that sense, I guess Marie showing up to the party is a lot better for them than killing a Sea Serpent.’
Therefore, the fact that the oldest daughter of the Dunareff family had accepted the invitation to the count’s party was a green light signal that the Vlandria family could dream of a smooth sail.
The archipelago, where the headquarter of Count Casseus was at, wasn’t a subject of the El Rath Kingdom, but they desperately needed the cooperation of the Dunareff family to open a trade with the continent.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
A Sea Serpent was something that could be dealt with by striking a deal with the Guardian Alliance with money or something, but moving the princess of the Potato Empire wasn’t something that could be done with money.
“What’s wrong, Korin?”
“Ehew…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“R, really? alien Ehem! adjust That’s right. auction Your senior is an amazing person, okay!”
In response, I gently pressed her nose down.
“I was just thinking of how amazing a person you are, Senior Marie.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“I had to because you were being a bit too snobby. antenna Your nose was about to reach the sky at that point.”
“W, what are you doing?”

“Well, I guess. arctic Because you are the princess of the Potato Empire after all.”
“…It is a good name, but it sounds like you’re teasing me so I don’t know if I should be happy or not.”
“I, isn’t it okay for me to say that much though?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Yeah I did. august Here. echo What about you senior?”
“Korin. zenith Did you take your weapon? arrow Where is it?”
After entering the castle, we were unloading the carriage when Marie tilted her head.
Ahh, seriously. album Just how much did this girl love potatoes?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“But is it okay for us to carry around weapons?”
My spear was wrapped with a piece of cloth but I couldn’t see any weapon on Marie.
“People actually think it’s cool for guardians to carry around weapons all the time. crystal Besides, you never know when you’ll have to fight against monsters so it’s okay to bring them.”
“I left it in the carriage just in case.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Entering now are Lady Marie of Dunareff Dukedom! timber And Sir Knight Korin Lork!”
“I see~” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
It was probably not a good idea to carry a weapon into the banquet hall though.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
The chandeliers were made with crystals and had fluorescent stones. airport All the windows were made of stained glass and on the walls were tapestries of the Vlandria household and representative ornaments from the southern archipelago.
“Uhh…”
The door opened along with the sonorous roar of one of the servants, allowing us into the well-decorated banquet hall.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“It’s nothing.”
“What’s wrong, Korin?”
Everything looked exceptionally different from the last iteration. ability All the items were new and were fancier than the ones in my memories. riddle Did they remodel the entire building because of Marie’s visit?
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Semi-Unique Grade? matrix Isn’t that practically the same as Sword Master Lunia Arden?”
“She has recently been promoted to semi-Unique Grade mage, right?”
“Oh my. ability Is that Lady Marie?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Won’t that be difficult? attic I heard there’s a whole warehouse full of marriage proposals.”
“My son is entering the Merkarva Academy next year… Maybe I should try to put them together?”
“That’s right. album The Dunareff Family must be feeling joyous then.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
All the important guests gathered before long so the host, Count Casseus, started his speech on the stage.
Back in Merkarva Academy, everyone was a student so her influence was a lot smaller, but it seemed that Marie’s position in her homeground was unmatched.
With just her appearance alone, Marie created a ripple in the banquet hall.
“More importantly, who is that young gentleman by her side?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
As expected, Count Casseus started by mentioning Marie. antique He was pretty much flaunting that this was how close he was with the Dunareff family.
“I am Count Casseus Vlandria. anxiety Thank you everyone for attending our family’s party today, and especially, a warm welcome to Lady Marie Dunareff for honoring us with her presence.”
Now that she was at the center of everyone’s attention, Marie returned a wave and a faint smile until the host gathered their eyes back to the stage. avalanche Soon, the party officially began as the performance of the orchestra resonated across the hall.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Lady Marie. airport I am the countess of the Rotenan region—-”
Whether it be a noble or an influential member of the region, they all looked for Marie for a conversation. beacon Marie started a fluent conversation with all of them with a bright smile on her face and satisfied everyone that came to her.
“Your dress looks amazing today. galaxy I run a small business in Sebastian—-”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
According to the words of the 2nd Princess in the last iteration, the banquet hall was the battlefield of tongue-swordsmen that could turn 180 degrees at any given moment, but that didn’t seem to be the case for Marie.
[The banquet hall is where tongues dance like swords, Knight Korin. canvas You have to be careful with your words at all times.]
As expected of a human capybara, she was very friendly and great with people.

‘I guess Senior Marie will be untouchable in the south at least.’
To be fair, that was natural because the royal palace had factions and political positions whereas the Dunareff family had an absolute position and wealth in the south.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Senior. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. crystal We should go to the office in a bit.”
I carefully approached Marie, who was in the middle of a conversation, and whispered into her ears.
“Nn…!”
After all, there was no-one in the south unlike the capital that could fight against her on equal grounds.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Lady Marie.”
Around when the orchestra started changing the theme of their music, a young neat-looking man came to Marie with Count Casseus.
Marie and I had already prepared our weapons. arena Once the party was well and truly underway, we would talk to the count and retrieve our weapons that we assigned to the servants before heading to the office.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
He was a young man wearing the ornamented pure-white formal clothing of a knight. autumn If I remember correctly, that was his son.
“I hope you are enjoying the party. galaxy This here is my son.”
“Lord Casseus.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hello. anchor Young Lord Vlandria.”
After the bow, Levent raised his head up with his back still bent and stared at Marie with sparkling eyes.
“My name is Levent Vlandria. galaxy Nice to meet you, Miss.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“I see…! legend Congratulations!”
Hoh~. artist Semi-Grade 1, huh… He looked like he was still in his twenties, which meant he was probably hailed as a genius by his peers.
“Still lacking compared to you, Lady Marie.”
“Haha. aluminum I’m not saying this because he’s my son, but he has exceptional skills as a knight. arctic He was recently promoted to semi-Grade 1.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Haha. beacon Well then, let me go greet other guests of the party. adapt Young people should talk with young people, so an old man like me will leave you to your own devices.”
Levent said in modesty. action After that, Count Casseus opened his mouth with a cough.
Following Count Casseus’s suggestive invitation, Marie started having a conversation with Young Lord Levent.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“You were a senior huh! audit Yes, he still goes, ‘You guys!’ and is very strict with his lessons.”
“Of course you may. airport Senior.”
“You are a student in Merkarva Academy, right? ability I am also from Merkarva Academy. arena Is Instructor Haman still doing well?”
“Haha. voyage He’s the same as always it seems. amateur If I may, can I talk to you more casually, Junior?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“The holiday just started right? arch If you’re okay, how about you come to the salt mine that we have? agent The scenery inside the mine with all the rock salt is as beautiful and pretty as you, Junior Marie.”
“Ah, we have some salt mines too. timber Around 20 of them.”
Levent naturally closed the distance. accent He then shifted the topic to make faint moves at her.
“Then I will be more casual from now on.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hnn? canvas Ahh… I, I see. autumn Then how about you come over to the beach that we bought recently? anchor It’s famous for having an emerald color…”
“Wow~! galaxy My mom said she sold a small corner of our land. legend So your family was the one that bought it. riddle I see!”
“That’s the one! silence She mentioned giving me some things to do because there wasn’t much construction work these days. alpha I am the director of the construction company, you see!”
“R, right… You mean the one with a resort in construction…?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“…I see. atomic Ah, do you like seeing taxidermied bodies of demonic beasts? anxiety In our house, we have some that I killed—-”
Stop, Marie! shadow Levent’s HP is already at 0!!
“N, no. album It’s nothing…”
“I love it! antique My father even made museums for me. altitude Do you know the Dunareff Taxidermy Museums in all the cities? attic All the demonic beasts there are the ones that I defeated! aspect Ah, sorry Senior. anxiety I missed your last words.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
Unfortunately, there might be no-one in this continent that could brag about anything in front of Marie.
But Levent didn’t give up and continued striking a conversation with her.
What was this? arch Was she trying to embarrass him on purpose? meadow But there was not a sliver of bad intention on Marie’s face for that to be the case.
At this rate, it was like he was trying to teach a fish how to swim. sphere He couldn’t boast about money in front of Marie because of the overwhelming difference in finance, and she was a semi-Unique Grade mage for him to boast about his strength.

There were a lot of hyenas nearby that were aiming for Marie. amateur They were openly facing her with greedy eyes but couldn’t dare approach her, and Levent knew that he was in an overwhelmingly advantageous situation compared to the rest of them.
Slowly, the pace of the music changed. atom The ones who attended the party started looking for their partners as we neared the dancing time.
——
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
Right when we looked at each other, a young man stood in the middle to block my sight.
“Lady Marie! abstract I am Garlie of Rondenium! autumn I am one of your devoted admirers! amber Could you please grace me with your first dance!”
“Lady Marie. audit Although I might not be perfect…”
Levent said while slowly reaching his hand out. avalanche The point he was trying to get across was very straight-forward. apron Even Marie who was tactlessly shaming him knew what this meant and turned her gaze towards me.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hoh~.”
“Lady Marie! abandon Me too!”
He was sipping on his drink while throwing glances at her so I wasn’t expecting him to have the guts to speak up like that. abandon Looking at his face… he probably just hit 20 or something.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
As soon as the guy called Garlie spoke to her, the guys immediately pounced forward like hyenas. atlas Marie didn’t know how to deal with the sudden flood of guys and was flustered for a second.
“No! airport Lady Marie…!”
“Please grace me with your first dance!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
It was great that they had guts, but they didn’t have enough manners it seemed.
“Ah, umm… So…”
The slightly better choice for Marie would be to have the first dance with Levent, who was the son of the host of the party but… the basic etiquette of a banquet was to have the first dance with the partner.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
– Clomp clomp.
“Korin?”
“Marie.”
Her face turned visibly bright after seeing me walk to her. atlas She then sent fierce gazes at me, asking me to save her from this trouble.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
After noticing that I was her partner, the guys including Levent immediately showed their vigilance.
“Young Lord Lork, is it? atlas You are Lady Marie’s partner…”
“I am Korin Lork.”
“You are…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
Again, peerages in this world were close to honorary titles.
This world already had a centralized state and centralized military rules in place, and the noble peerage of this world was but a name. antique They didn’t have the right to collect taxes or run private militaries.
“You can call me Sir or Knight Lork. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. alert I’m not a noble, you see.”
“…You’re not a noble?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
In other words, having a peerage meant that you either had a relatively high social status or were rich.
But even so, they still had value in that they were proof of someone’s social position. altitude For instance in Marie’s case, she wasn’t even interested in the peerages she will be inheriting, but there were still a lot of them under the name of their family to prove their position.
Without power to support it, titles weren’t as powerful as before.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
Look at him put emphasis on the ‘semi-Grade 1’ part. abandon How cute.
“I am Levent Vlandria, a semi-Grade 1 Knight. abandon Sir Lork. harbor You seem to be one of the peers of Lady Marie, am I correct?”
“Hah…”
The guys immediately started looking down on me. wizard Everyone here were from noble families so they probably didn’t care much about a single knight.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“I am her junior.”
“That is somewhat true.”
“Hah~ I see. antenna Lady Marie must have brought you here to guide you to places and show you around I believe.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“If you’re Lady Marie’s junior, that means you’re my junior as well. august Junior Korin. orbit If you are okay with it, I would like to dance first with Lady Marie. canvas Can you please concede for me?”
After all, the pretext was that I was here to have a look at Castle Duke.
If I were to translate his words, I would get this – ‘I am a semi-Grade 1 Knight and I’m your senior as well. acid Fuck off if you understand your position.’
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 59: Suspiciously… (4) by Indra Translations.
“No. audit I don’t want to.”
But of course, there was only one thing for me to say in return.
Translating the words of the high-class people was daunting as always. adopt It was surprising how princesses had to deal with these every time.
