＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 9

Endex(1)

A cypress forest a 20-minute walk from Endex. There is a clear mountain and stream behind, and a cityscape in front, and there is one particularly extravagant villa.

It is a 100-pyeong residence that was built by five people who have grown up together since childhood with their pocket money, and is too spacious to be a hideout and too open to be a secret room.

“My dream is to be Libra’s guardian knight.”

There, in the living room, there is a man imitating his vocal cords in a deep, deep voice.

“Khahahaha—! Wow, I’m laughing because of that guy.”

The eldest son of the Traxyl family, who has long reddish-brown hair and a large body, reminiscent of an Asiatic black bear, is the eldest son of the Traxil family—’Kane Traxil’.

“But aren’t you a loyalist, that bastard? Raised with Libra money at Libra Orphanage~ Libra’s guardian knight. “The story is amazing.”

This time it’s ‘Esher Dread’, a handsome blonde man lying in a hammock.

“Damn loyalists. Fuck civil abolition. “Such people have a negative impact on Libra’s image.”

Traxil, a magic stone family that owns dozens of magic stone mines across the continent, and Dredd, a conglomerate ranked 52nd in the Edsilla business hierarchy.

It means that they are young masters who have grown up as noble people in the world.

“no way! “I actually felt like I could see it again!”

Of course, it may not be as good as Raye, whose family itself is a wealthy person.

Hilton’s Geumjiokyeop Raye crossed her arms as she thought of Zion.

“Shion cuts his hair too… … Mon has changed. “I guess I got special training during my vacation.”

“… … Foot!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to get special training for something like that?”

At that time, Escher quietly twitched his lips at those words, and Kane just ignored him with a sneer on his face.

——Sigh.

The sound of footsteps as quiet as snowflakes falling.

“… … “What are you talking about?”

A voice rising softly.

The three people looked back there at the same time.

Handrail of the second floor stairs.

White blonde hair hangs down, and luxury artifacts such as rings, bracelets, and necklaces flutter like ripples.

“I guess it’s fun. “Every sound of laughter resonates.”

Elise Petra.

Even in Endex, where all kinds of talented and rich people gather, she is by far the daughter of Petra, a member of the councillors’ family.

“Ellie~ Are you finished studying~?”

“go.”

Raye ran to her and tried to hug her, but was stopped, and Escher pulled himself out of the hammock.

“ah. Well, it’s not a big deal. That friend of Juon filmed a comedy today. “Is it your dream to be Libra’s guardian knight, hehehe.”

“Is that funny?”

Elise asked back coldly. Escher immediately fell silent.

Raye cleared his throat.

“that’s right. What’s so funny, you guys keep saying this? Are you laughing loudly? “It’s no fun, no fun~”

Escher scratched the back of his neck and made an excuse.

“Oh, yes. Well, whatever. Sorry. You hate that stupid bastard, right? just-”

“So you say I hate someone?”

At that moment, Elise’s expression hardened slightly. Escher shook his shoulders in shock.

I accidentally touched Yeokrin.

Elise hates that idiot Shion. So much so that she doesn’t even want to be found out that she hates it. No, to the extent that she doesn’t even admit to her feelings of dislike.

“Why do I hate homeless people like that?”

Fortunately, she was cut off without much reaction and trudged to stand in front of the coffee machine. Escher glanced at her and let out a sigh of relief.

“Ellie. “Please grab me a drink too.”

Elise handed the freshly brewed coffee to Raye.

“Thank you~”

“But why didn’t that idiot graduate and apply to the College Board? “Do you really think you can go to a university like this?”

Kane muttered as if he was seriously curious.

“Never mind.”

Elise responded, tapping the floor with the toe of her slippers.

“These are things that will disappear quickly anyway. You could get hurt or die. “Dozens of people die every year at the College Board.”

Those were quite harsh words. Kane cleared his throat, and Raye just sipped coffee without thinking.

“Ellie this coffee is delicious. Did you buy a good coffee machine? right?”

“Rather than that, how about studying instead of worrying about other things?”

Elise, who had been scolded, climbed the stairs again while holding the teacup.

“Let’s study together with me~”

Raye also followed her, and Esher and Kane looked at her back, a little blankly.

“… … “Ugh.”

Truly, she is a friend who becomes dazzlingly more beautiful as each day passes.

Personality is individual.

“Hey Kane. “Elise, hasn’t your father changed a lot since he became a member of the National Assembly?”

Escher asked and Kane answered.

“It was like that originally, you idiot?”

“Oh fuck it just.”

Endex, a week before school starts.

I walked around the school grounds, picking up miscellaneous items and discarded furniture. Chairs, drawers, desks, etc. that were in any good condition were all brought to the temporary shelter and disassembled.

—The skill I will introduce today is ‘Curved Wave’. Curved wave technology finishes wood in a curved shape… …

I borrowed all the necessary tools from Beltos and made full use of the woodworking skills I learned through UBT.

The broken desk and door were dismantled and reworked to make a bed frame, a fireplace was made from discarded bricks, heat sinks, and sand from the back mountain, and a desk and chair were made from wooden tiles from the old building.

Although I had a sense of accomplishment, I was happiest when I found a good mattress at the recycling bin.

Because I can’t make mattresses with my current technology.

Thanks to this, the temporary shelter became somewhat livable.

There is only a bed assembled by gathering materials of different colors and textures like rags, a fireplace instead of a boiler, firewood, a chair, and a desk.

The monthly rent is also free, so this is a great deal.

Oh, by the way, I also got a new cell phone. Although I only had 50 ren in hand, I paid the entire amount in installments.

Housing and communication were solved like that, but the bigger problem was food.

Crazy hunger.

Even if I eat six meals a day, I still can’t eat enough.

At first, I thought about hunting wild animals, but gave up. Tracking, hunting, dismembering, butchering, grilling… … Then I felt like I was going to starve.

So I turned my attention to the job posting.

A popular meat restaurant near Endex with the highest hourly wages.

I ran straight away and had an interview.

“I think it might be a bit difficult for you. You’re too skinny. Do you know how much work there is at our house?”

Work involves chores other than washing dishes.

The president seemed distrustful, but I spoke with confidence.

“What should I do?”

“… … Eh?”

“Please just give me more food instead.”

The president hired him, saying he was full of spirit.

Actually, it was quite a lot of work.

There were so many.

Although there were hundreds of dishes and countless grills thrown in every hour, it was very easy for me.

There was no need to use Luxido.

There’s nothing I haven’t done, but things like dog-dog-dashing, dish-washing, etc. are at the level of a master, beyond an expert.

“Nothing much.”

7 pm. I shrugged while sucking on the chocolate milk.

Although it is peak time when there are many customers, the kitchen, at least the sink, is spacious.

because?

Because I am a human dishwasher.

“I’m going to take out the trash.”

“… … uh? Uh, uh, okay. “Come back.”

The boss, who was watching my work from a corner of the kitchen, answered blankly.

I went out holding a food waste bag in both hands.

As I was throwing the bag into the trash can, suddenly.

“Oh what. “Isn’t it Zion?”

A somewhat familiar voice called me. I looked back.

It was Elise’s gang.

Kane, Escher, Raye, and Elise.

A kind of golden spoon cartel made up of the most famous and admired people in Endex.

“Oh, the smell. “What are you doing there?”

Kane asked, wrinkled his nose.

He treats me like he saw me yesterday.

Because of this, I feel more awkward.

Not only can I not get used to their younger faces, but it’s been several years since I’ve had a face-to-face conversation.

“I’m asking you what you’re doing, you bastard.”

Kane asked harshly.

I answered briefly.

“It’s work, you bitch. “You stupid wild pig with no eyes.”

“… … What, what what? Hey, what did you just say-”

“Puhup.”

Kane blinked in embarrassment, and Raye couldn’t help but laugh.

The blonde Escher said with a bright smile.

“Hey~ Shion, have you talked a lot while we haven’t seen each other? It goes well with the apron. Keep doing it. “Not like the College Board or anything like that.”

Escher That bastard is as rude and disgusting as ever. It’s all about classifying people and ignoring them, or being like a lazy gisaeng brother.

“… … .”

However, the coldest and most annoying gaze among them is, of course, ‘Elise’.

Elise Petra.

She is showing me contempt. It’s as dirty as the food waste I just threw away, no, it’s even dirtier than that. My very existence.

“Hey, that fucking bastard. hey. What did you just say? Fuck you? “A mountain, a wild pig?!”

Kane, whose face turned red, took a step forward with a bang.

“Hey! Don’t touch Zion!”

But suddenly Raye intervened.

“If you can’t help Zion live hard, why bother arguing? Follow me, quickly! “Go somewhere else!”

With his teeth clenched and a determined face on his face, he grabs his companions and pulls them in at the same time.

Why is he acting like that again?

Escher also pointed to the restaurant sign as if it were absurd.

“No, hey, we came to eat meat-”

“hurry! You can eat it somewhere else! “I’ll buy it for you!”

Why on earth does that crazy woman pretend to be nice? … I feel like I know it again.

Is it my manito?

“You, you fucking Shion, man. “If I see you later, I’ll search for you.”

“Kane, what a foul mouth you have!”

“Get ready to get spanked, huh?!”

I held up my middle finger to Kane, who pointed at me until the end and retreated.

——No, that bitch!

I ignored Kane, who was glowing, and returned to the kitchen.

“Guys. You guys take a look at this too. It’s very clean. Do you think this was done by hand? I don’t expect this much from you, but… … .”

The boss was training his employees using the dishes I cleaned.

11 o’clock at night.

“… … “So when are you going to save money?”

After returning to my temporary home, I sat down on the bed and looked up at the night sky outside the window.

“There’s nothing to do.”

The seniors, including Elise’s gang, will be extremely busy implementing the elite magical power training and physical training curriculum at famous dojos or academies.

There must be quite a few people who have already completed ‘Mache’.

I’ll use the ‘magic formula’ as much as I want.

Not me.

I can’t even accept that anyone in this world who has some talent will wake up one day, sooner or later.

Because of Danjeon cancer.

Likewise, magic formula cannot be implemented… … However, in fact, the magic formula is not purely due to Danjeonam.

First of all, I lacked magical talent, and I wasn’t very good at studying either.

In order to make magic formula a reality, it is essential to learn the study of ‘magic’, but I am almost a magician.

If I hadn’t cheated with “Notepad,” I would have been expelled a long time ago.

Anyway, my priority right now is definitely money. Because I have to live first.

“… … .”

I looked at the sword lying diagonally in the corner of the wall.

Askal sword.

Steel mixed with ground runes—a famous sword made of rune steel.

Before regression, that was my surgery fee. He received as much as 50,000 ren, even though he disposed of it hastily.

I won’t do that in this life. I will never sell my roots.

“… … “Aren’t there any other puzzles?”

Suddenly, I remembered the puzzle I had been inspired by.

Where does inspiration come from to get such jobs? I’m just curious… … .

“for a moment.”

For a moment, my mind flashed. I jumped out of bed.

Endex.

Endex Magic High School.

This is a school attended by young ladies with no sense of economics who charge 700 ren just to complete an 8,000-piece puzzle.

On the other hand, before regression, I was a driver, a delivery man, a janitor, a detective, and a porter.

“… … “I don’t know if this will work.”

They can do whatever they ask.

If you just give me money.
