Episode 61
“Did you see that shot just now? My touch is insane today.”
“It stuck perfectly to the wood. The sound was pure art.”
The nobles’ voices rolled across the manicured grass.
As if the world was still perfectly fine, they laughed, drank, and enjoyed their leisure.
Premium cigars in their hands, flawless grass beneath their feet.
The Royal Imperial Ground was still a playground exclusively for the upper class.
And behind them stood quiet shadows lined up in a row.
Young boys carrying golf bags, silently following behind.
Neat clothing, proper posture, but their eyes were eerily hollow.
Like decorations without sound, expression, or warmth.
“Hey, hold the bag properly. Are you going to pay for it if it gets scratched?”
“Why are these kids so lifeless? Hey, dance or something to liven up the mood.”
“….”
“Can’t you hear me? Are you deaf? Don’t you have a mouth either?”
“Hey hey, leave them alone. What if they damage the bag while dancing? Even if we sold all of them, they couldn’t pay for it.”
Mockery and ridicule were exchanged casually.
Shameless malice displayed openly, such an everyday scene.
One of them prepared for the next shot.
He placed the ball down and swung.
Thwack.
The ball flew far in an arc.
“Another nice shot! The wine is mine!”
“Hey, don’t get too excited. The real winner always comes from behind.”
One giggling noble leisurely walked down to the fairway.
But his leisure didn’t last long.
“…The ball is gone.”
“What?”
“It definitely landed here?”
The ball had vanished without a trace. The confused nobles’ gazes fixed on the children.
“You guys stole it, didn’t you? How dare you touch your master’s ball?”
Even with the unfair accusation, the children only bit their lips. However, the real culprit was someone else.
* * *
“Good job, our Tan-bbang, you did so well-.”
“Meow meow meow.”
Nana, sitting under the shade in the forest, warmly welcomed Tan-bbang who returned with a feathery ball in his mouth and hugged him.
She naturally ruffled between Tan-bbang’s head and fur with affection.
Nana casually took the leather ball that Tan-bbang had brought and rolled it around on her palm.
“Oh, this looks quite expensive. They’d be pretty upset if they lost one of these, wouldn’t they?”
She lightly bounced the ball up and down and turned her gaze to the message window in front of her.
【The nobles’ anger level is rising.】
【Anger gauge: ■□□□□□□ 】
Oh my, the gauge went up already? But what should I do about this? The real show is just starting.
The teeing ground, an important spot when playing golf.
Nana poured two buckets of water that Lucas had brought without hesitation onto the teeing ground.
Water overflowed across the grass and the ground quickly became muddy. In the distance, nobles who had finished putting on the green were heading toward the teeing ground.
Their voices were still cheerful and confident.
“Did you see that? The putting line I just hit. Ah, this is why I play golf.”
“Today’s score should be recorded as an official record.”
“But it feels like someone keeps messing with the balls.”
‘I should hide now.’
As Nana hid in the forest, the nobles arrived at the teeing ground shortly after.
“…What is this?”
The moment they saw the teeing ground turned into a mud pit, the nobles’ expressions completely changed.
“What kind of maintenance is this? This isn’t a place for people to stand!”
“If the first tee is like this, what are we supposed to do?”
Someone angrily started looking for the groundskeeper while someone else shouted at the air about how the work was done.
But either way, the game had to continue.
The first to step up for the tee shot was a rather plump noble.
The moment he stepped onto the teeing ground, his face contorted at the strange squishiness felt through his soles.
His handmade leather shoes sank deep into the mud with a sticky sound.
“Tch, damn it….”
He grumbled as he walked across the grass, somehow managing to fix his tee while avoiding the mud pit.
Then he took an awkward tee shot stance while trying to maintain his wobbling balance.
It was an obviously unstable posture just to look at.
But the water-soaked ground was much more slippery than expected.
His center collapsed the moment he swung.
Splash!
The fat noble slipped and fell right there, his clothes became covered in mud and dirt splattered all the way to his hair.
“Bwahaha! Hey, what kind of stance is that!”
“What an elegant tee shot. Did you see that new technique? It was killer! Bwahahaha!”
The other nobles giggled and laughed.
Moreover, with his stance ruined, there was no way the ball would fly properly.
The ball shot up at a strange angle and disappeared somewhere in the forest where no one could find it.
The mud-covered noble jumped up and screamed.
“Do you know how much this outfit costs?! Which crazy bastard maintained the grass like this!”
The mud-covered noble shrieked loudly. But shouting at thin air wasn’t enough to satisfy him, so the blame soon flew to an innocent target.
“Hey! You livestock over there! What are you doing standing around dumbly! Crawl over here and clean this up right now!”
【The target transfers extreme humiliation to others】
【Anger gauge: ■■■□□□□】
Even with the noble’s unreasonable shouting, the children’s expressions didn’t change at all.
Without excuses or resistance, they simply knelt down and silently wiped the dirty shoes as if it was routine.
Nana, watching this scene from beyond the forest, clicked her tongue softly.
“I expected it, but they still haven’t learned their lesson. Good, round two it is.”
After that, Nana’s sabotage operations didn’t stop.
The first method was simple but effective.
She carefully crawled onto the fairway, gently stepped on a ball that had landed on the fairway, then pressed down hard with her foot several times, grinding it.
Crack-.
She heard something breaking, but Nana didn’t care at all.
‘As long as my ankle didn’t break.’
Shortly after, the nobles who arrived at the fairway let out screams.
“What is this?! Who made the ball like this?! My ball is broken!”
While the noble was slamming his wood club on the ground and fuming, this time Ishanka’s forest friend was deployed.
“Squeeeal-!”
When they released the wild boar with rolled-back eyes, it charged toward the fairway like a bulldozer.
“Go, Pikachu! No, Pigchu!”
“Squeeeeeal-!”
The nobles standing on the fairway were thrown into complete chaos by the suddenly appearing wild boar.
“It’s, it’s a wild boar! Run!”
“Aaaaah! Someone save me!”
Pride and dignity all fled. The nobles screamed and threw away any semblance of elegance as they scattered in all directions.
“Hey! You livestock! Hurry up and stop that… Aaaaah it’s coming this way!”
【The nobles’ fear and irritation explode.】
【Rage Gauge: ■■■■■□□】
The golf course instantly became a stage for a wild chase between one wild boar and the upper class.
The state of the nobles who barely escaped from the wild boar’s intense display of affection was a sight to behold.
Sweat-soaked shirts, pants torn here and there, and shattered pride.
The pristine appearance of the upper class was nowhere to be found, and only post-battle survivors remained before their eyes.
Even so, they didn’t give up on the game.
“…Fine. This time I’ll concentrate and do it in one shot.”
It was the moment when one of the nobles seriously took his stance.
A single crow flew in from the distant sky, and soon multiple crows swarmed in like darkness.
Their wingbeats cut through the wind as they dove straight toward the nobles.
“Caaaaw! Kka-kka-kkaaw!”
“Aaaah, what are those birds?!”
The crows attacked anything that glittered – the accessories the nobles wore and the gold decorations on their collars.
“Aaaaah! Get these crazy birds away! Get lost!”
“Hey, livestock! What are you standing around for? Can’t you chase these things away right now?!”
“This is our family crest! How dare you… Aaaah, my necklace—!”
In the midst of this, one crow snatched a noble’s featherball like catching prey and soared into the sky.
“No! My ball! It was custom-made with the finest leather—!”
The crows flew away with their spoils while the nobles screamed and flailed about – it was complete pandemonium.
Watching this scene from a distance, a smile spread across Nana’s lips.
“Oh, this is unexpected?”
It was perfect timing, as if the system had hard-carried for her.
With stress reaching its peak, the nobles’ patience hit rock bottom. The elegant social gathering had now become a brawling match where they grabbed each other by the collar and spat insults.
“Who is it?! Someone’s deliberately trying to mess with us today, right?!”
“It’s you, isn’t it? You hired people because you were afraid I’d win?!”
“What? How dare you speak like that?!”
Arguments began to break out among the nobles who started suspecting each other.
Those who had been smiling and bragging about their scores just moments ago now had sharp glints in their eyes, speaking less while keeping each other in check.
Nana, who was watching this scene from under the forest shade in the distance, leisurely opened her skill window.
【Rage Gauge: ■■■■■■□】
‘This Quest is really sweet. It’s completely free, isn’t it?’
Finally, one of the nobles threw his wood club and shouted.
“What are we supposed to do in this kind of environment! Aren’t you bringing livestock to mess around?!”
The gauge window sparkled in response to the noble’s outcry, and the remaining gauge filled up.
【Rage Gauge: ■■■■■■■】
【Conditional Quest: ‘What’s So Great About Ball Games’ completed.</p】
You have successfully completed the Quest.
Reward obtained: Royal Imperial Ground ownership.
Would you like to declare this area as a new farm?
※ Upon declaration, farm-related skills and traits will be automatically applied.>
Nana declared this place as farmland without a moment’s hesitation.
Since the land had already been purified with the Stone of Life, nothing seemed different on the surface, but even the breeze brushing past her toes felt somehow different.
“Ah, look over there!”
Lucas suddenly pointed to the sky.
The gray clouds that had been hanging overhead cleared away, and a ray of sunlight descended upon the Royal Imperial Ground. Just like at Nana’s farm in Sweet Little Village.
Lucas, who had been watching this scene, turned to look at Nana and said.
“I’m… just a country bumpkin knight. But I know this much. This place has now become Lady Adrien’s land, hasn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
As Nana nodded, a golden System Message appeared with a flourish of fanfare.
【Congratulations! You have acquired a massive plot of land spanning 30 hectares. You have obtained the title of Great Landowner.】
【Your farm level increases by 3 stages while unlocking exclusive Great Landowner skills.】
Tremendous benefits poured out with each scroll. Nana’s eyes sparkled with greed… no, hope.
