Surviving as a Con Artist at the Academy Chapter 281

Episode 281. Summer Break – The Queen of Snowstorms (2)

A sudden snow storm occurred due to Jenny’s sudden appearance.

I was out and about with my friends, excited, but some soldiers were arresting my friends for no reason.

Her anger felt hot and cold at the same time.

“If it’s Jenny Chain Silver…, surely she’s from the family that will be chosen as the next imperial family…!!”

Blue hair like a waterfall, eyes like frozen lakes, and a cold chill radiating from her entire body.

Erte couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw her like that.

Because it perfectly matched the appearance of Chain Silver’s child that I had heard rumors about.

“Who are you to arrest these people without permission?”

Erte shivered violently as Jenny asked her barbed questions.

Since my upper body was frozen, I was not only cold but also unable to move.

In that situation, Erte had no way of knowing how to remain calm.

“Those guys…! They did this to my face! This is clearly indiscriminate assault!”

“You guys, is that true?”

This time Jenny asks us carefully.

If she really did indiscriminately assault our guy, Jenny would immediately get on her knees and apologize.

But that never happened.

As we explained everything to Jenny about the guy, a colder wind began to blow.

“You started it first.”

The ice that had been squeezing their bodies began to get colder.

Even though she was standing in the middle of a scorching summer sea, Erte began to feel extremely cold.

But Erte opened his mouth, trying hard to endure the cold.

“Ha, but…. I have witnesses… that my evidence is true! And I….”

“Are you Erte Daniel?”

“yes?”

“I am well aware of the Daniel family that governs the laws of this country.”

Jenny, being a noblewoman, couldn’t have not known.

However, unlike Jenny, whose face is well-known to the world, Erte’s face seems to be unknown.

Well, that can’t be helped.

“I was taught by my father that this was the family I should stay the farthest from.”

The head of the household, Gerard, also knew about his son Erte’s problems.

However, because the royal family’s influence and the Enviel Elder of the Magic Alliance were protecting him with all their might, he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to.

The best she could do was warn her daughters to beware of them.

But now the imperial power has changed and Enviel’s interference has disappeared.

Now there was no shield to protect Erte.

“A family that kidnaps and rapes young girls without permission. And a family head that neglects to do so. That’s your family.”

“That is… just… artistic…”

“Shut up. No one will listen to your dirty excuses anymore.”

“But the witness…!”

“Haven’t you heard me tell you to keep your mouth shut?”

Shaaaaaaaah-

“Eeeeek!!”

Erte’s mouth froze in an instant as a cold wind suddenly blew.

Another group of soldiers appeared behind Jenny, completely cutting off her words.

Chain Silver knights lifted Erte and took him away.

The knights had to endure a slight numbness in their hands because it was frozen solid.

“Don’t worry about the evidence. We couldn’t investigate it until now because of the interference of the previous emperor, but now we can investigate it thoroughly.”

“Eeeeek!!!”

Erte let out an unknown scream and disappeared along with the knights.

And the ice that had been binding the soldiers melted in an instant.

The soldiers whose bodies had been liberated followed Erte away without saying a word.

Jenny, who solved everything in an instant, soon has a bright expression on her face.

“Is everyone okay?”

Then he shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms as if he were the savior.

The power to instantly resolve an awkward situation with just one breath, due to the absence of two saints.

Just looking at that strength, it’s incredibly strong, but seeing that attitude of ‘Look up to me proudly!’ made me laugh.

For example, it wasn’t just me.

“Phuhu…!”

“What, why are you laughing all of a sudden?”

Ruska covered her mouth because she had laughed inadvertently, and Jenny looked at her with a cold expression.

He seemed hurt because he felt like he was being laughed at even though he had helped him so much.

Jenny kept shrugging her shoulders as if she was some hero saying, ‘I’m here!’

Ruska couldn’t stand the sight and said:

“Just… because it’s funny.”

“What’s so funny?”

“Phuhu!”

Jenny, who saw Ruska continuing to smile, had an unusual expression on her face.

Then he moved his finger and poked Ruska’s armpit.

“Hah! What are you doing all of a sudden!”

“You like to laugh. Then laugh more!”

“Hahahahaha! Stop it! I know, so stop it!”

Ruska was laughing like crazy, but for some reason there were tears in her eyes.

Ruska was already vulnerable to tickling, and because she was wearing a swimsuit, having every nook and cranny of her body touched was unbearable torture(?).

Ruska, who was being tickled, secretly sent me a help call.

I had no choice but to stop Jenny because I was afraid of the consequences if I ignored her.

“That’s enough. I’ll faint if I do that.”

As I approached and asked, the evil aura on Jenny’s face disappeared.

“Is that so?”

“….”

Ruska was already down, her eyes rolled back.

Mary used telekinesis magic to levitate Ruska and transport her somewhere.

“Thanks for your help.”

What we had to say to Jenny was simple.

Jenny could only laugh at those words.

.

With Jenny joining us at the beach, summer vacation is now in full swing.

The two saints who had been away for a while due to some circumstances have now arrived.

Nebia and Angela ask what happened while they were away. However, Jenny gives a concise explanation, saying that nothing happened thanks to her.

After confirming this, the two changed back into their swimsuits and rejoined.

I still enjoyed fishing, leaving behind the sight of them playing happily together. It’s easy to get tired of just splashing around in the water.

but….

“Radon, don’t just fish there, come play with us!”

Jenny grabbed my hand which was holding the fishing rod.

A blue bikini that matches the color of her hair and a lily-shaped hairpin on the right bangs.

Her body, which was revealed coolly, was also splendid, and although not as much as Ruska’s, the valley of her chest, which was covered by her swimsuit, was visible.

I was blinded by her pure, lively, yet glamorous appearance.

“Why are you staring at me all of a sudden, Radon?”

“Ah… that’s….”

“Is it because you’re pretty?”

Jenny understood exactly what I was surprised by.

Certainly this time there was no sign of anything to point out or make fun of.

Just like Ruska, there was not a single part of her that I could ignore.

“Yeah. Very pretty.”

“really?”

Jenny’s face turned red at those words, and she hugged me and dragged me to where her friends were.

Since Jenny was also very strong, if she hadn’t moved her legs, she would have just been dragged along.

“And everything Radon asked for. I made it all.”

“certain?”

“About 10. Will that be enough?”

“That’s enough. Mass production can be done later.”

What I asked Jenny to do was to create something.

I had previously met a great sage in the imaginary world and received something from her.

That is the recipe for something that exists only on the Earth I lived on.

Since I was the one who received all that knowledge, I informed Chainsilver about it.

There, Gerard also became interested and started manufacturing.

“But is that food?”

“Yeah. I used to eat it often when I was in the other world.”

Of course, something similar exists in this world.

But this side is not as diverse as Earth.

I’ve been sad all my life because I couldn’t taste those various tastes, but now the days when I can feel that satisfaction are numbered.

This time, I wanted to see everyone’s reactions to what it tasted like.

“Besides, there was quite a bit of knowledge that the Great Sage imparted to you. With that, I think the empire will be able to prosper more than before.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“Perhaps when my father ascends to the throne, the remaining duke’s position will….”

Something meaningful sounded, but Jenny quickly trailed off.

He seemed hesitant to give an answer, perhaps because the matter had not been confirmed yet.

“Anyway, I hope Radon graduates with good grades. That way, there’s a higher chance of good things happening.”

“Our grades are already good. You and me.”

I couldn’t quite answer what that good thing was.

It’s not like we’re drinking kimchi stew when things haven’t even been decided yet, but it certainly seems like something worthy of the word ‘good thing.’

As I was thinking like that…, before I knew it, my body was floating in the air.

“Okay, throw it.”

Since when, Ruska, who was holding my head, said.

“If you count one, two, three, they go at the same time.”

Nevia, who was holding my right arm, said.

I suddenly asked what he was doing… .

“Hahahaha! Countdown~!”

My opinion was drowned out by Mary’s maniacal laughter.

And then the literal countdown began.

“5….”

“4….”

“3….”

“2….”

“1…!!”

Balsa-

“Eww!!”

The moment the countdown, like a nuclear missile launch, ended, my body began to cross toward the sea.

Because they threw it with all their might, I had to dive in unintentionally, splashing through the air.

“Poohahaha!”

I was floating on the shore, spitting out water with a dizzying feeling, and they were high-fiving each other, saying they did a good job.

No one is in their right mind.

Among them, the one who laughed the most was Jenny. It seemed like it was Jenny’s idea.

‘The joke is sky-high.’

But her smile was over now.

* * * * *

“Is everyone here?”

“Yes, we gathered.”

That night.

Everyone, including me, gathered in Senior Trisha’s room.

Starting with Jenny, Angela gathered, but the others were ignored, saying they needed to go to bed early for their health.

“It would be a shame to miss it in the middle of summer like this, right?”

Trisha had an expression that gave her an eerie look.

They swallowed nervously, but I could tell what they were going to say.

“Hehehehe~ It’s time to tell a scary story.~”

“Eek!”

Jenny was startled when Trisha pretended to be a sitting ghost.

The other kids were surprised too, but Jenny was the most shocked.

“What’s wrong, Jenny? Are you scared already?”

“Well… wouldn’t it be better to talk about something else? Like, about cute animals…?”

“Cute animals?”

Was already there.

-Awww~

-Okay.

Jenny was speechless when she saw the two cute crying gods.

“You can always tell that kind of story. But what’s the point of a scary story on a hot day like today! It’s like a cool shaved ice without syrup!”

Everyone seemed to agree with that idea.

Except Jenny.

“That is a valid point.”

“Ra, even Radon…!”

Jenny shivered even more as she agreed to the scary story.

Seeing her like that, I smiled and said.

“You threw me like a catapult today, so let’s play the game I want this time.”

“Ugh…!”

To be honest, I’ve been interested in ghost stories for a long time.

Even on Earth, I watched horror videos on X-Tube.

Thanks to that, I’m not even surprised by strange ghost stories.

Maybe that’s why… .

“Is that all?”

About an hour has passed since we started talking.

I went through the following in order: Nebia, Mary, Ruska, Angela, Crona, and Trisha… but there wasn’t a single ghost story that surprised me.

Trisha’s story was somewhat plausible, though… .

“Radon, how could you be so indifferent?”

“Are you acting? We’re so scary!”

Nebia raises suspicion.

Is this all you’re afraid of? As expected, these guys aren’t as skilled as I am.

“That’s right! I almost screamed the whole time I was listening to it!”

Jenny, you’ve been vulnerable to this kind of thing from the beginning.

“Then it’s Radon’s turn now.”

Everyone had huge expectations of me.

Having endured that scary story, what kind of fear will I convey?

Everyone’s eyes turn towards me in awe.

“Um… I don’t have a particularly scary story to tell.”

“What does that mean? Then how do you create a scary atmosphere?”

A scary story without a scary story.

Ruska asks, “What kind of Hongchul team is this without Hongchul?”

But I was confident I could keep their mouths shut.

“I can show you what’s scary without having to say anything.”

“how.”

“jenny.”

“Huh, huh?”

Jenny was startled by my call.

I was scared of ghost stories, so I hid behind the bed and peeked my head out.

“What’s wrong, Radon?”

“Go to your room and put on some makeup.”

“Why all of a sudden…?”

“I’ll tell you once I get there. It has to be as fancy as possible.”

There’s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to makeup!

With that in mind, Jenny stood up with a lighter heart.

“Then I’ll do it right away!”

Jenny left the room with an expression on her face, finally free from fear.

Everyone was asking what on earth he was doing… .

“Just wait a minute. Something huge is coming soon. Kikki.”

I waited for Jenny with a smile.

As expected, they didn’t understand what it meant.

What on earth does makeup have to do with being scary?

And then 15 minutes later… Jenny came back into Trisha’s room.

“It came out.”

The door opened with a squeak, and Jenny appeared again… .

“You came sooner than I thought…, Gyaaaah!!!!”

“Jenny Un…, Kyaaaaak!!”

“Hee…, heeeeek!!”

“That… that’s… not my Queen of Snowstorms… Whew…!”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Jenny’s face and fell over in surprise.

From Ruska to Krona, everyone was convulsing as if they had encountered a monster from the Cthulhu Mythos.

“Why is everyone….”

“You want to know?”

I showed the mirror to Jenny, who was puzzled and asked, “What is this?”

Jenny saw that….

“Gyaaaah! What is this!!”

In that mirror, a creepy, pure white ghost was reflected.

I said to Jenny, who was surprised and fell over with her luggage on her back.

“That’s a mirror.”

“what?”

“That’s a mirror.”

Jenny picked up the mirror again and looked at it carefully.

Jenny felt all the strength drain from her body when she realized belatedly that the hideous monstrosity was a face created with her own makeup.

“Ah…, ahhh….”

And at the same time, I collapsed in despair.

I was the only sane person in this place.

So then… .

“My victory.”
