“Afterwards, if you continue to avoid detailed discussions regarding the marriage proposal, it means that you reject the marriage proposal.”
“….”
“And, I will immediately return the 1.5 billion shillings that I offered as a condition for Bendy Reppy.”
“These lion cubs have such hotheaded temperaments!”
Bang! Weston slammed his desk roughly, his eyes noticeably bloodshot.
“How am I supposed to gather that much money within three months!”
A few months ago, a marriage proposal came out of nowhere from a lion family that was rarely heard of in the lion territory.
The condition was the pure bloodline of the Reppy family.
The marriage dowry was 3 billion shillings.
The mansion was already mortgaged, and Weston, who was struggling with his son’s gambling debts, accepted the marriage proposal without properly investigating.
Even though it was a blind deal, it was an opportunity to actively utilize Bendy Reppy, who was not of much value anyway.
“Where did you suddenly get 1.5 billion shillings…?”
Weston, who made a groaning sound, chewed on his nails.
The offered 1.5 billion shillings from the lion family was already in a situation where they didn’t have a single penny to spare to pay off their debts.
If the lion family, who was angry about the cancellation of the marriage proposal, demanded the immediate return of the money…
Not only the mansion, but also the foundation of the Reppy family could be shaken.
Not only were they ruthless carnivorous beasts, but they also had a hot-headed and impulsive nature, as observed during the investigation.
There was even the possibility of revenge.
“Damn it.”
Weston’s amber-colored pupils gleamed greedily.
Within the three months that they proposed, they had to find the disappeared Bendy Reppy.
No matter what.
Brr. I trembled in a strange shiver in front of the teacher’s desk.
Usually, something bad happened in these kinds of situations.
My appetite suddenly disappeared and I meekly stepped back.
Even though I was only one day late for enrollment due to various preparations, I didn’t know why they were asking for a bothersome self-introduction.
It’s not like they were kids, so why introduce themselves.
In my distracted mind, I absentmindedly fiddled with my hair. Not my pitch-black hair, but the unfamiliar crimson color.
“Oh, right, I changed it.”
My hair was a deep crimson, and my eyes had also changed to the same color.
Disguised as a fox shapeshifter.
A few days ago, the proposal from Principal Milane was a fake identity.
“Before entering school, at least change that face.”
“My face? Why?”
“Your face has so many problems.”
In the mirror that Principal Milane held up, a familiar face I had seen for 19 years was reflected.
To say that someone else’s face was a problem.
While deeply staring into the mirror, the principal spoke with a profound expression.
“If you enter with that face, you’ll immediately attract the attention of the afterlife.”
Among the carnivorous shapeshifters, it was possible to avoid standing out and being buried by switching to the most populous fox shapeshifter race.
Since the Reppy name was also quite common among carnivorous shapeshifters, there was no difficulty in manipulating their identity.
“I will support you up to this point. The results will be your responsibility.”
In many ways, it couldn’t be anything but a beneficial offer from my perspective.
My physical safety was immediately guaranteed, and the probability of being exposed to my father was even lower.
“I will do it, fox shapeshifter.”
After the decision, everything went smoothly.
Changing my appearance with magic tools and changing my school records.
And perhaps as a consideration from the principal, I was admitted to the X class, where relatively mild carnivorous shapeshifters gathered.
“….”
Now, standing in front of the teacher’s desk. I involuntarily rolled my lips inward in nervousness.
Perhaps due to the silence, the professor called out in a low voice.
“Bendy Hukdo?”
Ah, I belatedly woke up from my absent-mindedness and faced forward.
Crimson, scarlet, gold, green.
Eyes of various vibrant colors were all fixed on me.
“They say he’s the top student. But he looks like a fox?”
“Just looking at him, he’s obviously a fox.”
“Hey, he’s just an ordinary species. How did he become the top student?”
Disappointment was subtly hidden in their whispers.
