“Should we do a club atmosphere?”
“How about a schoolgirl atmosphere. I still have my uniform…”
“I have my uniform too. But I put on a few pounds…”
Every time the female students chatted, the male students were speechless.
The short skirt, clothing that exposes her bare shoulders and back that Seo Yoon would wear in a club.
Seo Yoon dressed as a pure, innocent schoolgirl.
‘This is the jackpot.’
‘This is the jackpot.’
‘This is the jackpot.’
‘This is the jackpot.’
“…”
The male student’s fantasies were taking flight.
“What concept should we use?”
It was the female student’s greatest worry. If only to win in the pride competition with the other school bars, they needed to plan out a concept that stood out.
“For now, guys should come dressed comfortably. The girls will think about the concept more and try to choose.”
At the female students’ words, the male students answered earnestly.
“Alright. Hope you choose a worthy concept.”
“Don’t think about it too seriously, the ones you talked about earlier were also very good.”
“Ahh. If it was the festival today…”
“…”
The female students gathered separately and debated.
Club girl, schoolgirl, office uniform. Although they had initially chosen concepts that were enough to excite the guys, all of them were cancelled.
“We can’t just become eye candy for the guys!”
They were also considering Seo Yoon’s position, as she was obviously troubled about the exposure of the clothing.
“What concept should we use? As we serve, a lot of people will see us, so isn’t there something that’s elegant yet alluring, that can bring femininity to life but never prods our conscience to wear?”
“Since it’s a festival of May, how about a bride?”
[T/N: May is known as the month of weddings in Korea.]
“Bride! That’s pretty good. Bride of May. With student brides in wedding dresses and even bridal veils, I think it’s gonna have a lively feel.”
“I approve too!”
“The idea’s good, but is there a place where we can borrow the dresses?”
“We would buy fabric or material and make them ourselves. Can’t we just look at a fashion magazine and make it roughly similar?”
The female students came to a mutual understanding.
Didn’t they say the clothing that made women the most beautiful was the wedding dress?
It would also be an opportunity for them to wear a wedding dress once before they married.
“Seo Yoon-sunbae, is senior okay with this too?”
“…”
Seo Yoon hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The dungeon exploration for the school assignment!
Because they had to complete the exploration before the festival started, they were really pressed for time.
“Please come here quickly.”
“I’m saying that the rest of us were all here.”
As soon as the group members gathered in the capsule room after finishing their morning studies, their complaints flowed out.
However, Lee Hyun also had an excuse.
“The traffic was severe.”
“Lies. You walked here.”
The group members weren’t deceived.
“It takes 3 minutes to walk here from the school, so why would you come here by car.”
“It’s more than one stop by bus so if you get on it takes longer.”
Lee Hyun’s eyes became mellow and moist.
Choi Ji Hoon, who uses the in game name Zephyr had taught the elder brothers this; Lee Hyun tried to use the method to pacify girls.
Lee Hyun wagged his finger, and spoke with his most sweet voice.
“These sly deer… Are you doubting my words right now?”
“…”
At that moment the female students’ expressions indicated that something from within their stomachs was urgently coming up.
‘Ah, the breast milk I drank when I was a baby…’
The queasy and greasy feeling!
Even if you mixed peanut butter and cheese and made ramen, it wouldn’t be this bad.
“Ah, we get it. For now let’s just hurry and start.”
Hong Sun Ye, who saw Lee Hyun a lot doing this and that these days, took his side for him. Though he was even harder to deal with than her hair-splitting cousins that her uncle left from morning to evening, she demonstrated patience.
“Oppa.”
Lee Yoo Jung addressed him before she went into the capsule,
“Hm?”
“You’re near Dale Kingdom, right? We’re already all gathered, and we also did a lot of exploration practice.”
Lee Hyun answered as if there wasn’t a problem.
“Of course. I’m almost all the way there.”
“Yes, then that’s a relief. We’ll go in first and wait. Please come quickly.”
“Just wait a little. I’ll be there soon.”
Lee Hyun went into the capsule, and as the sensors mounted he thought, ‘I guess I should leave soon.’

He had been busy selling the accessories and sculptures he had made in Kuruso Kingdom to merchants, so he was still at Nest Kingdom’s Herom Castle.
Even by riding a horse, Dale Kingdom’s Nekan Castle was over five days away.
‘In Korean terms, I’m almost all the way there. Since “soon” means “still gonna take a long time” now, they’ll probably be understanding even if I’m late.’
Herom Castle!
As the Kingdom had a position in the borderland, it was a castle bustling with Merchants dealing in entrepot trade. As a result of the users who were buying had wagons and goods. It was so disorderly it reminded him of the marketplace at dawn.
There were users who struck out at the prices as they bargained, and Merchants who weren’t going to cut down even a single penny were even having a fierce fight.
“Why, no matter how money-grubbing a Merchant ya are, how can ya do this? How can ya buy the wares that are like my own children that I created at the end of so much suffering with that price?”
“Look, elder. Please calm down for now and listen to my explanation. The current market prices of wares…”
“Market prices! What did ya say the wares I made were like? Is there even a wee scratch somewhere? Or are ya saying the quality of this ruby is low?”
A small Dwarf was in hysterics. Of course, the Dwarf’s true identity was Weed!
He became an obstinate Dwarf to the novice Merchants and was striking up the prices.
He sold crafted jewel ware accessories and sculptures, and even the Dwarves’ gifts. To be honest, when he sold the gifts he had received at the farewell ceremony, he felt a small prick of his conscience.
‘Even so, the market nowadays has changed. For the gifts I don’t need, I can just think of them as receiving a gift certificate.’
Gifts from the heart!
He had received the hearts of the gift-givers and thought that was good enough, and was selling them with overcharged prices to his heart’s content.
Since they were goods being sold by a Dwarf the credibility was high and the quality was good too, but because he insisted on the high prices, transactions weren’t made quickly.
