Became an Academy Penetrating Spearman

23. Public Relations (1)

***

Sasha additionally interrupted the promise to have tea time and snacks at a cafe together.

Perhaps the purpose is to build a friendship with Pamela, whom I have chosen as a colleague, as well as with myself.

It was good for me that Pamela became friendly with Sasha, since I plan to stop by Cats store more often.

Sasha boldly put Pamela’s hands together and told her to be her friend.

When Pamela, who normally had no friends of her own, heard that, she couldn’t refuse.

In Rupan, there was no episode where Sasha and Pamela got involved, so I felt like I was watching a new event and relationship story.

As we drank tea and ate each apple pie, Sasha spoke to Pamela with a smirking sales smile.

“What is Pamela’s hobby? Please tell me!”

“Drunk, hobbies? I’m like that, too, reading, and herbal gathering.”

“Aha, you’re educated! I know herbs that have various benefits as a body that does business!”

“Is that so? Uh, that, then… Oh, do you know the red leaf dandelion?”

Pamela asked Sasha with slightly expectant eyes.

She is very happy to see someone who knows her knowledge about her self hobbies.

“Of course! It’s a good herb for burns, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right! If you use it in combination with hehehe, yellow tangleweed, it will help heal burns more. You probably know this well, right?”

“Huh? If you combine it with yellow tangleweed, the effect increases?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Sasha was silent for a moment, then flashed! She did and her eyes lit up.

“Pamela! What other useful herbal combinations do you have! I didn’t know that! Very interesting and fun.”

“Really? That, then this, there are combinations like this…”

Sasha’s eyes are shining brightly as if she has discovered a new blockbuster product.

I didn’t know anything about herbs in the first place, so I thought that’s right~ and accepted it, but even Sasha, the president of her trading company, didn’t seem to know the combination of herbs that Pamela knew.

And with Sasha’s very active interest, Pamela was genuinely delighted and told her herbal combination she knew.

Sasha’s eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth went up as she said each combination.

It seems that there were quite a few useful combinations that Sasha didn’t know about.

“Oh~ You’re so knowledgeable about herbs! Pamela-sama is amazing!”

“Yeah, right? Everyone learned from Master Su. Heh, hehehehe. Sasha-san likes it, so I’m happy too. Chi-si, it’s the first time I’ve talked with a friend like this as a hobby other than Shi-shihan…”

“If Pamela-sama’s new knowledge is used, we, Cats Company, can help countless people with unknown drugs that have not yet spread widely in the world…!”

“Sasha.”

“Yes, what is it, brother?”

“Before you sell, write a proper contract with Pamela. You know that, right?”

It’s not okay to skip knowledge and eat raw food. Never.

“Of course~ We will definitely take care of the intellectual property rights that Pamela-sama provided! Our Cats store! Never! Because we take pride in not making inappropriate contracts!”

“Uh, what are you talking about? Intellectual property?”

“Pamela, in the future you will be rich.”

“Wealth, rich!? Me?! Why!?”

Other than Pamela, she may have just been talking about her hobby with her friend, but to Sasha, she provides ideas for a groundbreaking new product.

“Pamela! From now on, as a friend! And as a business partner, please take good care of me!”

“Huh? Uh uh… yes, yes!”

After that, she came out of the cafe and gave a rough explanation to Pamela, who had no idea what was going on, before she returned to Sasha’s office.

“Now! Please sign here!”

“It’s cheap, I can sign it, is it okay? Does it make money?”

“Of course not! Come on! Come on!”

“First I’ll read the contents.”

“Ah, oppa~ Don’t you believe me? We even signed a contract~. Besides, Pamela and I are friends now! There’s no way you can cheat between friends!”

Don’t you know that saying things like that will make you less trustful?

“That’s it, and read the contract properly. As a merchant, you should be familiar with that. Pamela, read the contents carefully.”

“Yes, yes!”

She went over the contents of the contract with Pamela.

The proportions weren’t bad.

Considering the cost of collecting, combining, and distributing ingredients, Pamela is a better ratio.

She was worried that she would take all the profits by setting a short period instead of a good rate, but she didn’t write that down either.

Even after reading the contract three times, neither Pamela nor Cats were biased in terms of the contract.

“Pamela. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the contract.”

“Look~ Am I right?

“Okay, then I’ll sign it.”

Pamela signed her name on the contract.

“With this, Pamela-sama and I! We became friends and business partners! Thank you, Pamela-sama! We sell the products Pamela told us about and become rich!”

When the contract was signed, Sasha smiled, took Pamela’s hand, and shook her.

“Yes, yes!”

She gave Sasha the body of the Half Moon Bear.

I was able to gift Pamela with the right equipment, and although it was unexpected, the contract ended safely.

After a few words of conversation, she and Pamela decided to go back to Lucidia Academy.

“Sasha, take care of the carriage.”

“Yes? You’re leaving already? You’ll be gone later.”

“That’s right, Shihan. You don’t have to be in too much of a hurry, right?”

Sasha, as well as Pamela, stopped me if she wanted to talk more with her second friend, who looked like she had a lot of fun.

But I shook my head from side to side.

“You can’t be late for the entrance ceremony for no reason. You can still come to Valendia after the entrance ceremony through warp seats, so there’s nothing to be sorry about.”

“Hmm~ I can’t help it. There are even academy students who were expelled for not participating in the entrance ceremony.”

“Um, really?”

“Yes! The academy is famous for being picky when it comes to admissions! Well, once you enroll in the school, it’s usually said that you won’t be expelled! It’s a pity, Miss Pamela! Let’s talk longer next time!”

Sasha immediately left her office and arranged for a carriage for us to ride.

“Wow!”

“Brother~ I look forward to the next loot~ See you next time, Pamela-sama~!”

Sasha shook her arms to see her off as she rode away in her carriage.

Pamela wiggled her hand in the carriage, which was moving along smoothly, she said.

“Shah, Sasha. I think I’m a really nice person. He listens to me happily… And even offers me lucrative contracts! Besides, that kind of person becomes my second, second, second friend! Poetry, I can’t believe that only good things have happened since I became friends with Shihan. Am I dreaming right now?”

“It’s real, Pamela.”

From Sasha’s point of view, we became friends with a feeling that was more focused on profit than friendship.

Well, it must be good that Pamela is happy.

***

She returns to Lucidia Academy and Pamela and I stop right at her tailor’s shop where we ordered her clothes.

The suit we ordered was completed on the day we arrived at good timing.

“Oh, you look really good!”

I tried standing in front of a full-length mirror wearing an academy cadet uniform.

‘Kerma went really well.’

Maybe it’s because of the karma look I chose, it goes well with anything I wear.

Let’s go to the inn now that we’ve changed.

When I was looking in the mirror thinking about that.

“Ugh… I, can I wear such high-class clothes…”

Pamela, like me, came out of the dressing room, dressed in an academy outfit.

“Ah, Shih, Mr. Shihan!”

Pamela flinched when she saw me and gave her body a big shake.

“Come on, come along!”

“Yes. You too…”

Pamela in an academy outfit.

I was speechless for a moment at that new and unconventional appearance.

Because of all the clothes Pamela wears, what I saw were basic illustration outfits, bunny girl outfits bought with skins, dance costumes, and rabbit mask doll clothes.

Among them, there were no academy uniforms worn by NPCs.

A Lucidia Academy cadet uniform made with ultramarine blue as a base and gold trim to highlight its sophistication.

Men’s neckties are similarly decorated with navy blue bow ribbons on women’s necks, and the skirts are H-line skirts, not the fluttering skirts that often appear in subcultures.

The design is well done, but Pamela is wearing the same academy uniform that only NPCs who wander around or stand still wear because Gachasan characters have their own unique costumes.

A sense of satisfaction filled my heart as if I had obtained a hidden DLC-limited skin.

“Ah… that’s right. Even if someone like me wears something like this, it doesn’t suit me, so even if I try to force myself to praise it, words just don’t come out. I’m sorry. I’ll change right away. An ugly witch like me wears such wonderful clothes. Sorry….”

However, Pamela must have interpreted it in a Pamela way when I was so moved that I was speechless.

“No, I was at a loss for words because they matched so well.”

“Yes!?”

“It suits you so well, Pamela. It leaves you speechless for a second.”

“I, I, really?”

“Yes.”

“It’s all good…”

Pamela let out a sigh of relief as she stroked her chest.

After safely receiving the academy uniform, I remained calm until the entrance ceremony.

When I wake up in the morning, I stretch lightly, and after eating or snacking with Pamela, I swing a spear in the backyard of the inn to warm up her body, and then help Pamela improve her physical strength.

“Cheer up, Pamela! Run more!”

“Heegh! Heo Eok! Heo Eok! Shi, Shihan! It’s impossible anymore…!”

“Okay! Then let’s rest for 10 minutes and run again! Don’t overdo it!”

“Is there any option to stop…?”

“Pamela, it’s been 15 minutes since we started. Now, drink some water too! Replenish your fluids and work hard!”

“Hey…!”

By the way, I tried to split the price of the Half Moon Bear and Red Half Moon Bear I received from Sasha with Pamela in half.

“I-I-I’m really fine! I-I can’t accept that in the first place!”

Pamela couldn’t help but shake her head vigorously at her, saying she didn’t do much.

Since she signed with Sasha anyway, Pamela will get more money later, so she accepted the idea.

Of course, she will properly distribute them when hunting monsters in earnest.

Then time passed and we participated in the entrance ceremony.

Basically, as seen in the game, the director of Lukedia Academy stood on top of the podium and started a very long speech.

In summary, since you became a cadet at Lukedia Academy, it means to behave well, grow diligently, and contribute to the world.

After a long speech, the long awaited moment finally arrived.

“Starting today, you are students of Lukedia Academy. Welcome to Lukedia Academy!”
