Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World

Episode 18 (PENDING FESTIVITIES)

I don't feel like half a year has passed since I last tested my weapon. In the end I decided I would only use my Sniper and Handgun, the limitations of technology to multiply bullets was my biggest reason. Rocket Launcher will only be used if I am really in a pinch while Grenade and Flash or Smoke Grenade will only be used for Crowd Control weapons when there is a monster siege.

Today was the day I headed to the capital to enroll in school there. Sitha and I say our goodbyes and thank you to Mother, Grandpa and Mr. Einhard and all the villagers for helping us all along.

We also went to the capital accompanied by all the villagers to the village gate. Sitha and I are planning to attend Stacia Academy. Our reason is not because Mr. Einhard alumni there, but because the Stacia Academy has the best facilities to support our future.

Honestly, Sitha and I did not have a penny to head for the royal capital due to my foolishness saying arrogantly that I had a lot of money heading towards the capital. At first Sitha was shocked to learn that I had no money, whereas the trip to the capital took a week on foot. After I thought for a moment, I decided to borrow money from Grandpa Thompson.

Cring…

The doorbell rang when I opened the door. I saw them staring at me on the sidelines of Brian and Grandpa Thompson's busy cleaning up the dust on the guns and display cabinets.

“Hhaa”, Grandpa Thompson and Brother Brian said while pointing at me in shock to see me visit their store. I saw Grandpa Thompson's gaze turn into that of a killer and then he jumped at me.

Buk…

A story leads right above my head.

“Aduhh... Why did grandpa hit me”, I complained to Grandpa Thompson.

“Basin a brat, why don't you ask your mother for permission if you've been studying here all this time. To the extent that you were attacked by Taschio Nero's group, it's a good thing you can still survive” Grandpa Thompson replied as he crossed his chest .

“It's not clear if he won't allow me. What kind of parents would allow a 7-year-old to leave the village alone”, I responded to grandfather Thompson's reply.

Grandpa Thompson sighed then shook his head and said, “I forgot you were a reckless boy”. Then Grandpa Thompson glanced at Sitha and asked me, “Hei by the way, who is the pretty girl that came with you?”

“Oh he Sitha”, I answered accordingly.

Grandpa Thompson looked towards Sitha's neck, then he asked Sitha, “Hmmm, a beautiful necklace. Who gave it to you son?”

Sitha's face flushed red at Thompson's grandfather's question, then she lowered her head down and replied, “Andra gave her a kek”

“Haaa, it is not in vain that I become your teacher boy. Now that you're a real man hahaha”, Grandpa Thompson was shocked to hear Sitha's words, then he laughed out loud and grabbed my shoulder while ruffling my hair.

“Hah”, I don't understand what Grandpa Thompson is. What does his word mean?

“Brian you're really embarrassing, how could you be overstepped by your college sister”, Grandpa Thompson complained to Brother Brian for reasons I don't understand.

I saw Brother Brian looking at me with an envious look as if he wanted to kill me and then run towards me.

“Damn you Andra, how could you get a girl as beautiful as Sitha just a year after graduating from here”, He said while crying and locking my neck with his arms and then pinching my head. Oh no, I really don't understand what's going on.

“Aduh... Ouch.. Stop stupid stop” I said while trying to release the lock Brother Brian but can not because his strength is far above my strength. Besides, Sitha just laughed a little until she shed tears because she saw the behavior of the three of us.

“Yes already let's go in, we'll celebrate Andra's pending graduation. Today I'm going to close”, Grandpa invited us inside his house to celebrate my graduation.

After celebrating graduation, we decided to stay overnight at Thompson's grandfather's house. In the morning, we continued our journey to the royal capital.

“Our grandfather wants to say goodbye to continue the journey to the capital” I said to Grandpa Thompson

“What do you say, did you not forget something?”, Grandpa Thompson asked me.

“Forgetting something?”, I asked Grandpa Thompson back because I felt like I hadn't forgotten anything.

“You haven't shown me what you've produced in a year”, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Oh yes cake I forgot, sorry for not showing it”, I replied then I took out my Sniper to show Grandpa Thompson.

“Wah, looks very solid and impressive. Is this Handgun MK. II”, Grandpa Thompson said with great admiration at the sight of my weapon.

“Well it can be called like that”, I agree with Grandpa Thompson's words because only Sniper and Handgun he knows, when in reality both are weapons with different types but in this world it can be said that my sniper is a second generation pistol that I created after the Handgun.

Grandpa Thompson and I looked at each other and smiled at each other as if they understood what was going to happen. Suddenly Grandpa Thompson handed me my sniper and ran to get the best shield he had.

I took off my gun key and at the same time Grandpa Thompson brought the magic shield he first made a bet with me. It felt so nostalgic, it was the moment I first bet with Grandpa Thompson.

“Quick attack, but what are we going to bet?”, Grandpa Thompson asked.

“No, I won't bet for something unfair like this. How could a non-magic weapon possibly defeat a magic weapon”, I rejected his offer even though I was sure that using Sniper and Aceleracion I would most likely be able to destroy his magic shield, but I don't want to destroy his pride.

“I won't be off guard at the moment. Did you forget what you did to me when we first bet”, Grandpa Thompson replied.

Damn, it turns out Grandpa Thompson still remembers it. Old grandpa, it turns out he's still being childish. I think I should negotiate a little with him.

“That's the past cake, I honestly don't know its power that big. After all it was a weapon made by my father not made by me, although this seems big but I do not know if its power is greater than my Handgun or not”, I said.

“But still, I will not yield to you. Take it or not?”, he answered.

“Not”, I replied firmly. After all, right now there is also nothing worth betting on, what am I betting on for something useless.

“Alright, now you have to pay all your training costs during here”, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Don't I have done it when I studied here”, I replied.

“Hey stupid, did you forget you not only studied but also ate here. I'm just saying you've paid for the training but not for the meal”, Grandpa Thompson said.

Shit, right too. Grandpa Thompson said that I only paid for training here. What would happen if he charged me this time when I wanted to borrow money from him.

“Oke-okay, I understand but what would Grandpa ask if it won from me?”, I ask.

“I want to ask for the blueprint of your weapon”, Grandpa Thompson laughs wickedly.

Shit, he asked for something heavy.

“No, I don't want”, I said.

Basic demon grandfather, besides being childish it turns out that he is also a cunning and greedy person.

“Alright, but I refuse if I have to fight magic weapons. There is no history of a non-magic weapon defeating a magic weapon”, I said.

“I don't care”, Grandpa Thompson said as he turned his face away.

I started to feel annoyed, it turned out that this was really troublesome.

“Alright, but I'll tell everyone that grandpa made an unfair bet with me”, I said.

“Please do I don't care. I won't be fooled for the second time”, Grandpa Thompson remains unmoved.

Then I ran out of the store and shouted, “Hey everything, Grandpa Thompson intends to bet with me on a bet that does not.”.

Everyone caught me and then suddenly Grandpa Thompson came and stuffed my mouth and pulled me into his shop.

“Hey brat, do you intend to ruin my reputation”, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Don't Grandpa Himself say don't care”, I replied.

Grandpa Thompson looks upset, “Alright, I get it but this is the last shield I'm going to put out and you have to agree to it”. Then Grandpa Thompson took out a shiny silver shield.

“Platinum? Is grandfather crazy, even though it's non-magic but still it's very strong”, I complained to Grandpa Thompson.

“You're just asking not for a magic weapon, which means I'm free to use whatever” replied Grandpa Thompson.

Right too, now I'm the one who feels off guard.

“Alright if so”\, I said\, then I entered my Sniper and took out my *Rifle-.

“Moreover this, why did you change your weapon?”, Grandpa Thompson complained to me.

“Grandfather and I would not bet that I should use that weapon”, I replied.

Grandpa Thompson looked annoyed and said, “True too, alright now attack his shield”.

“Wait a minute, what about what I asked from grandfather?”, I said.

“It is not clear if you will ask to release your meal bill”, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Iiiya”, I said. Shit is also true that I still have the bill, but I also wanted to ask for money to go to the capital. Hiks hyks.

Then I pointed my *Rifle-* at the shield and pulled the trigger.

Dor dor…

I shot my shot through the shield. Then looked at Grandpa Thompson while smiling Evilly and said, “Hehehe, I won”.

Grandpa Thompson said, “Cu cu cheated, you cheated for taking out a lot of bullets at the same time”.

“Indeed this is how it works. I only pulled the trigger once, it was like putting a few arrows in a single pull”, I said.

Grandpa Thompson looked grim and said, “You were right too”.

“Alright, means I win and my debt to Grandpa Thompson breaks even”, I said. “By the way, where is the nearest Adventure Organization office?”

“Oh it, in the city of Escala. Win there need what are you there for?” Grandpa Thompson said.

“Ali wants to sell this”, then I take out all my hunting with Sitha and Mr. Einhard.

“Her eyes seemed sparkling and said, I'll buy his goblin heart for 200 silver” Coins, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Hey kek isn't that too expensive?”, I said.

“If, I buy it from the Adventurer Organization it can be for 5 silver” coins

Damn it, grandfather still took advantage of my hunting.

“Didn't grandpa want to pay him more? Come on, cake, I'm not what you think of as your own grandson”, I'm trying to negotiate.

“That is the reason, do you not want to give a cheap price to your grandfather?”, Grandpa Thompson replied.

Uhuk, it turned out to be true what he said as well. Basic, it turns out that besides a forger he is also really an accomplished merchant.

“Alright, if so” I hand over all goblin hearts to Grandpa Thompson. “Kek, Does Grandpa Don't want to buy anything else?”, I asked.

“No, do you want to make me poor. The price is too expensive you should take it to the capital, they will buy it at a more expensive”, Grandpa Thompson said.

“Good cake if so, I say goodbye. Thank you for taking care of me during this”, I said then hugged Grandpa and Brother Brian. Suddenly my tears trickled as I hugged them. So too with them.

The time I spent here was not short. There are so many memories I have spent with them. Merforx Blacksmith, is where I learned and grew up to be a real man. Difficult, happy, sad and laughter I spent with them. They are the ones who have taught me the real meaning of how to keep fighting and never give up. Thanks for everything. You are my family and Melforx Blacksmith is my second home. I wish I could come back here someday.

Then we let go of our embrace.

“I left this for mom”, I said then handed over 50 silver coins to Grandpa Thompson.

“Alright”, Grandpa Thompson received my deposit.

Then Grandpa Thompson and Brother Brian drove us out of the store and we continued our journey to the Royal Capital.
