The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

235 – Scene 235# Basics

*

“Wendy. It would be better to swing a little faster. The pace is getting slower.”

“Yes, yes! “I’ll try it quickly!”

At Blanche’s point, Wendy adjusted her sword and swung it again. A wooden sword that cuts through the air neatly and without any unnecessary elements. Unlike before, when I was clumsy, my posture was quite stable.

Wendy, who had learned various martial arts from Blanche, starting with her self-defense skills, was no longer at a level to be looked down upon. She may not know it, but she might be able to take out a gangster or two with her bare hands without magic.

However, in the eyes of Blanche, who was once famous as an assassin in the underworld, she seems to have many shortcomings.

“You swing it a little faster. “Miss Wendy can do it.”

“Ugh… ! Yes!”

“Blanchet. “Don’t push Wendy too hard.”

“Miss…”

It was Bella who came between the two. She said, wiping the sweat from Wendy’s forehead with her handkerchief.

“I’m going to get some rest. “I haven’t even started teaching swordsmanship yet, so what are you going to do if I lose my strength like this?”

“Well, I’m still okay…”

“Look. Miss. “The current Miss Wendy is by no means weak.”

“That’s right… “I can do it.”

Even though Wendy looked exhausted, she was clearly determined to do more.

“Hmm… “Anyway, I thought about it earlier, and you two seem to get along well.”

“Yes?”

“Yes?”

“Blanchet. I’m used to having Wendy teach me. Wendy also feels somewhat familiar with learning from Blanche…”

Blanche and Wendy’s faces are shocked by Bella’s criticism of her.

That’s because the relationship between the two priests was always kept a secret from Bella.

“Is that so… ?”

“We don’t know…”

“Is it so? Is it just my mood…”

Bella tilted her head, but luckily she seemed to ignore it.

Ah, but why is Bella involved in Wendy’s swordsmanship instruction?

A few days ago, Wendy proudly took first place in the swordsmanship practical evaluation.

Wendy, she says, had the audacity to challenge Bella, the instructor, and not her student directly. Her courage alone could be said to be incredible, but it seems she even made her lose her sword from that fearsome Bella.

It was hard to believe that Wendy had such skills, but Bella, who dealt with her in person, seemed to have seen her Wendy again.

Moreover, when she found out that Wendy was accompanying her on the northern expedition, she offered to train Wendy herself.

However, it seems that her and Blanche, who taught Wendy, do not agree with each other.

“Anyway, Blanche. Wendy, can’t you see her her’s sweating her? Just do it in moderation.”

“That’s not cold sweat, it’s just sweat from moving her body.”

“Still, it looks difficult.”

“I ordered it to be difficult. Look at this.”

“Hi?!”

Blanchet said, massaging Wendy’s slender forearms.

“I still lack a lot of muscle. “It will be difficult if we don’t increase the intensity of training.”

“Well? Instead of being in trouble, it’s a good time to see it.”

“Uh, over there…”

“You need to be more strict with Miss Wendy.”

“What kind of muscles are you planning on making Wendy into?”

“It’s fine for me…”

“Miss. You may have forgotten, but didn’t you say that she will train Miss Wendy today? Training is consistent with building muscles. “There is no training that does not build muscle in the body.”

“Wendy! Come here. Because it’s not worth listening to that kind of muscle lover.”

“Hi?! Oh, she’s a princess… !”

Wendy was very embarrassed when Bella suddenly hugged her.

“Let go, let go! I, I’m sweating… !”

“Are you okay. Because our Wendy’s sweats are cute too.”

“Hey!?”

Bella smiled brightly and hugged Wendy tightly. Wendy, unable to do anything, looked at me with her wide eyes as if asking for help.

But I just sat at the table in the courtyard and sipped tea indifferently.

She says I feel sorry for Wendy, but there is no reason for me to get involved. I thought so, but suddenly Bella turned around.

“The Count, please don’t just watch there and deal with Wendy.”

“… “Me?”

“Then who else is the Count besides you? If you think about it, it’s because the Count didn’t stop Wendy. So take responsibility.”

No adult can stand by and watch a young child go to war. Moreover, Bella finds Wendy cute.

“Bae, the Count stopped me… Well, I forced myself to…”

“Cadet… Look at Wendy being so nice. It’s so lovely.”

“Huh?! “Are you a real girl?!”

“How about living in Isaachel’s mansion with your pretty sister instead of that mean guy?”

“Oh, please don’t…” ” . I’m a poor old maid, so…”

“How can you speak so nicely… ” . Cute… I have talent…”

“Talent?”

I heard a word that I couldn’t ignore.

Bella, who was continuously massaging Wendy’s soft cheek, answered my question.

“Yes. Wendy seems to be good with her sword.”

“Hye?”

Wendy also opened her eyes wide as if she was hearing this for the first time.

“It wasn’t for any other reason that I gave Wendy her generous score. Among the students taking my class, Wendy was the only one who did not have bad habits.”

“It’s a bad habit… ?”

“Yes. Wendy. I taught you this in class, right? “Basics” Are the things that are easy to overlook while practicing swordsmanship.”

Bella stroked her Wendy’s head.

“So to speak, the most basic imperial swordsmanship. Honestly, it’s boring swordsmanship. Repetitive and simple… So, most people who start learning swordsmanship cannot overcome the frustration and change it to suit their own taste.”

Everyone will have greed.

If you can swing a sword faster than others. If you can use your sword sharper than others, you can ignore the basics.

“The problem is that there are many cases where the basic and important process has been ignored, resulting in nothing. “I have already developed bad habits, so I end up not being able to properly perform difficult sword techniques.”

Bella shook her head bitterly.

She is a swordsman who loves swords and swordsmanship. I’m sure it’s a shame since I’ve seen a lot of prosecutors like that.

“In that respect, Wendy is clearly using standard swordsmanship. “She is lucky to have any skills, but not having any is like a blessing in the world of swordsmanship.”

“Yes. I also agree with what you said. Miss Wendy’s strength is that she is very honest and unaffected when it comes to using the sword. There are times when that can be a disadvantage, but at this stage, it can be safely called a talent.”

“That’s what I’m saying. Blanche.”

Blanchet has a proud look on her face. For her, Wendy was her disciple, so she deserved it.

I, too, felt good when Wendy was recognized.

“But why is the Count happy?”

Bella shot back as if she had seen how I was feeling.

Could it be that it was obvious from the expression?

No, I definitely hid my expression. It’s just that Bella has a good sense of humor. But what happens if you get caught? Just admit it and that’s enough.

“That’s natural. “I can’t help but be happy to hear that my exclusive maid is competent.”

“Well, I’m happy… ” ?”

This time Wendy reacted to my words.

“Count, really? You’re really happy that I did well… ?”

“Okay.”

“Ehehe…”

Wendy smiled shyly and looked at me.

“Well, I’ll work hard! Count! Please watch!”

“… “Yes.”

“Hehe… If possible, instead of just watching, why don’t you at least be Wendy’s sparring partner?”

Bella secretly invites us to join together.

But from my point of view, I want to avoid sparring with Wendy. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I only have losses. I can also make that level of discernment.

“… “I am busy.”

“Lie. I know there’s nothing to do. “I’ve only been drinking tea since a while ago.”

“You have to wake up soon.”

“Hmm… Where are you going to leave me?”

“It’s work.”

“It’s the weekend, what’s going on?”

“Count.”

As Bella’s persistent interrogation continued, Helga appeared with great timing.

“I’m ready. Let’s go slowly.”

“Hmm.”

I put down the teacup and got up.

I was very happy to be able to float naturally, but without showing it on the outside.

“What is it? Did something really happen?”

“Okay. “Didn’t you tell me?”

“You’re not going to tell me what’s going on?”

Bella looked at him with an expression hoping to teach him something. With such an appealing expression on her beautiful face, it was difficult to completely ignore her.

I answered as I put on my coat.

“I’m going to make money.”

“Yes?”

*

If Bella found out, she would be a little upset, but the place I went to make money wasn’t far away.

Rather than going far, we came to the treasure chest in the basement of Ruelberta’s mansion.

“Oh oh… Did you come?”

“Count. “It’s been a while!”

“Okay.”

My father-in-law Albert and his granddaughter Vanessa welcomed me.

“Has the classification been completed?”

“That’s right. Would you like to take a look?”

What Albert confidently pointed to were the treasures lined up neatly in front of the treasure chest. From the looks of it, it looks like you completed the work I asked you to do well.

The original reason for hiring the two as craftsmen for the mansion was to revive the annihilated maids. However, now that the purpose has been achieved, I ordered them to do one thing as they had nothing else to do in the mansion.

No… It may be a bit problematic to say it is just one thing.

“Count. “I didn’t know much the last time I saw it, but were there so many treasures?”

“Okay.”

“It was really hard to classify…”

What I asked the two of them to do was to classify ‘all’ the treasures in the underground treasury into items that could be sold and items that could be used.

There has been enough funds for the northern expedition now, but funds will continue to be needed after that.

The more money you have, the better. Therefore, I planned to raise funds by selling off the luxury items in the treasure chest.

However, it takes too long for me to identify the numerous treasures in the treasure chest one by one. Therefore, this task was entrusted to Albert and Vanessa, who had an ‘eye for things’.

I immediately opened the treasure chest for the two of them. As expected from the Ruel Berta family’s treasure trove, there were numerous valuable items, but since we had established a trusting relationship with the two people, we believed in them and opened them.

However, the treasures classified in front of the treasure room were much larger than I expected. Thanks to this, Albert and Vanessa completed the classification of the treasure in one month.

“Haha… There were so many treasures that I had never seen before. There were some items that weren’t worth selling, but it was fun. It felt like I was at a museum.”

“Eww… I don’t know if my grandfather would have said that, but for a young man like me, it was really hard labor…”

Clearly, looking at it like this, even a month went by very quickly.

“You worked hard.”

“So…”

“You may be called a minister, but if there is something you want to take, take it.”

“Huh?!”

Vanessa’s expression her her her, which she had been tired until a moment ago, suddenly brightened.

“Really?! “Can we really have it?”

“Okay. “If you want something, pick it.”

“Oh yeah! I’ll take the most expensive one! Woohuhuhu!”

After all, labor requires sufficient compensation.

Albert is already picking out the treasure before I finish speaking. Was he secretly looking forward to it?

Anyway, I decided to take a quick look at the classified treasures.

What I will do today is to sort through these treasures, auction off all that can be sold, and save the useful ones.

Thanks to the individuality of ‘chaebol’ and ‘calculation’, the approximate value of an item can be determined.

If possible, I plan to get rid of luxury items such as jewelry and accessories. Even if we keep these things, it is useless if this world is ruined by the player.

It is much more profitable to sell it and make money.

I didn’t know much about it the other day when the annihilation maids came looking for the sleeping coffin, but I realized once again that the Ruelberta family was a very wealthy family.

Too much wealth for just one noble family to have. I don’t know, but there must be a lot more treasure than the imperial treasury.

“… Hmm?”

At that time, as I was walking among the gorgeous treasures, something strange caught my eye.

Among the sparkling treasures, there was a mirror about my height that was particularly worn and rusty.

When I looked at that full-length mirror, I felt possessed by something. No, I would say it feels like I’m being sucked in.

I slowly approached the mirror.

“…?!”

And the moment I looked in the mirror, I had no choice but to freeze on the spot.
