Grow With In-App Purchases

43. Before school (3)

“There are a lot of them in my house, would you like it if I brought them?!”

Shine heard me and said something unexpected.

“You have a lot of that at home?”

“Things obtained when the adults of the family were active are piled up in the warehouse. There are quite a few things that are left unattended because I don’t like something to just throw away, but I don’t know the value at all to use them. If you like these things, I can bring them to you.”

“hmm… Why don’t you take a look around? You don’t even have eyes to see.”

A storehouse belonging to an aristocratic family that may have collected various mystical items from wandering around the contaminated area for a long time.

You’d be an idiot if your eyes didn’t shine.

‘Who knows if they have good equipment that drops the boss stage with a low probability in their warehouse.’

I know it’s not an easy task to open up the family warehouse to strangers, but I thought that Shine, who had been asked to aim for an S-rank rather than an A-rank, would be able to do it.

“Don’t show the noble family warehouse to outsiders.”

“I’m not asking you to show me the real family storage. You want to show me where you’ve collected all the clutter. Is that too burdensome?”

“no. I could! But not right now. Tomorrow is the start of the school year… .”

“I didn’t mean to go straight into your home and show you. I’ll go and show you later when the time comes, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. That’s not what I was hoping for in the first place.”

It seemed like being too good to me was a burden, so I said that I wanted to pay myself back, and this situation has come about.

It’s good if it happens, and there won’t be much disappointment if it fails.

“I won’t be able to see you often when school starts. Are you going to continue attending the private training ground?”

“Well, when school starts, it will be full of people, but it will be difficult for me to attend. I’m thinking about buying some exercise equipment and doing it in the yard.”

I didn’t want to create a problem by giving tips on the subject of commoners in places where nobles came and went.

And when the academy opens, Rebecca will no longer have a reason to use a private training ground.

It was because there was a great training facility inside the academy.

No matter how well-decorated the private training grounds are, they are no better than the training grounds installed inside the academy.

So there is no reason for me to go to and from the private training ground.

‘Because when these guys start the semester, I have something else to do. If I care about that, I can’t go to the training ground even more.’

thump thump!

“huh? Can you hear it outside?”

“Looks like Sasha is here.”

And Sasha, the owner of the private training center, finished work belatedly and joined us.

“Voila!”

With a bottle full of wine in both hands.

“There are minors, so I bought a drink that Shine can drink in case they say what kind of alcohol it is!”

“nice! After all, there is only our Sasha. After all, I feel sad when I lose my alcohol.”

“I know how to drink too!”

“Write! What are you talking about in front of the teacher!!”

“oh.”

It was a rather hearty dinner.

next day.

The academy has finished its vacation and has finally reopened.

A city bustling with students from all over the place.

However, even those many people could not be easily found in the alleyway where my general store was located.

It was a moment when it became clear that it had the advantage of being close to the academy, but other than that, it was a location where nothing was right.

It was clear that the very few customers who came to the grocery store would be distracted by the opening of school.

I used this time to completely close the general store for the first time in a while and move to the promised location.

with my daughter-

The meeting place is a tea house that is often used as a meeting place.

I sat there and waited for a while, and the person who had an appointment with me appeared.

“Are you Suhan?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The day when we can meet face to face like this is finally coming. I am sorry that I have not been able to find a good seat even though you have donated a lot of money for our academy.”

“What a great thing. It wouldn’t have been much compared to the amount that other noble families paid.”

“Isn’t consistency important? For 10 years, he gave donations for students who only wanted to fight for humanity. Thanks to this, students from difficult families were able to graduate safely.”

Scholarships given by most aristocratic families place importance on grades.

This means that they do not intend to give scholarships to students with poor grades.

Of course, if you make a donation, you will inevitably have to give some donations to students with difficult family circumstances, but the amount was shabby compared to the academic scholarship.

However, for the past 10 years, I have been steadily donating to the academy, helping students with difficult family circumstances, not grades.

‘The reason I donated was because I needed to make friends with the academy, not the students who would receive scholarships.’

Aristocratic families make donations to attract students from poor aristocratic families among the students with good grades to their families.

Of course, even if you are a student in your own family, you can bet.

Did you say that was a courtesy to enhance the honor unique to aristocrats?

However, in my case, making a donation was important, so I didn’t have to worry too much about how the donation was used.

These blind bucks were usually spent on students who needed real money.

That’s why the staff dispatched from the academy showed me so much kindness.

“Besides, I didn’t know you were so young. You are so amazing.”

Academy staff know that I am not of noble origin.

Despite being a commoner, the attitude toward me was extreme, perhaps thanks to the fact that he had consistently donated money over the past 10 years.

‘Because I didn’t pay a penny or two.’

While living as a mercenary, I couldn’t receive all the quest rewards as monster by-products.

Because of this, as much as I moved my body diligently, the money piled up one by one, and the remaining money after living and saving went into donations.

Don’t let the academy ignore me for being a commoner.

So it means that I have been steadily donating for 10 years for exactly this day.

“Students want to meet and thank the donors in person.”

“I would like to refrain from such a pretense. It is also a burden for students.”

“ah… The students will be disappointed.”

“I think I would be happy with a letter then. If you write a reply, won’t the sadness disappear?”

“letter! hahahaha, I think the students won’t be disappointed with that either.”

The conversation with the academy staff was always friendly.

There was no reason for the atmosphere to be bad when he treated me politely without showing a rude attitude.

“ah. And that’s what I said earlier.”

I handed out the boxes I had brought to the staff.

The academy staff looked at the box and their eyes twinkled.

“You said you were making a donation for the graduates this year.”

“Please make sure that no one is neglected.”

“If these are the things you said, the highest donation amount this year will be Suhan.”

From my point of view, it is cheaper to give away items obtained through billing without having to pay a single penny than donations.

‘I can’t say that billing is free, but anyway, it’s not the stuff I’m aiming for, so it’s just a japtem after all.’

After running a general store, I thought that if I sold the things I had accumulated over the years to the store, I would never be able to sell them even if I sold them for the rest of my life.

So, this year, donations were used for various consumables.

“I don’t know if this proposal will be a burden to Suhan, but can I give you a simple invitation?”

“invitation?”

“Now that school has started, students will start measuring their grades anew.”

“Mmm.”

“A lot of spectators come on the day of the students’ grade measurement. It’s also a day to enjoy like a festival. If you see it in the VIP room, you will be able to spend a more comfortable and enjoyable time.”

It is a day on which grown-up students can enjoy the festive atmosphere and enjoy joy, and students who have not grown up can be comforted by the festive atmosphere while being saddened by regret.

Parents of students or nobles who have nothing to do visit the academy to see the festival of the day.

The academy staff was trying to give me an invitation there.

“I don’t think I can ever say no to this. I will be happy to attend.”

“Oh oh! ”

I was thinking of going to see it, so I decided not to hesitate.

In fact, it has been a constant donation to receive this convenience.

From now on, I’m in a situation where I have to keep interacting with the SSR characters I’ve chosen.

However, the academy and student families may disapprove of me.

Isn’t it more strange to leave it alone when a mysterious youngster hovers around a student?

By the way, is this mysterious bastard constantly donating to the academy?

That’s for 10 years.

When they find out who I am, at least the academy can’t shake me off.

Even in a student family, if you hear about the 10-year donation, even if you are a commoner, you will wonder what kind of person this guy is.

‘All I have to do is not touch it carelessly.’

The invitation is held out politely with both hands.

I accepted the invitation and put it in the inside pocket of my coat.

As soon as school starts, the main scenario will proceed.

Before that, I needed time to see if the things I had sown for the past 14 years had blossomed properly.
