Chapter 26 – One of the Two Has a Bitch! -One-
I invested two days in the library, but the amount of information I learned was ambiguous for such a thing. It was because I learned more about the Beasts, who were of a different race, than about Echidna, who was not well known.
“It’s not a monster, it’s a different species?”
When I looked through the books, they said that they spoke and looked like humans, but the beasts were classified as monsters.
However, people in this world are in a serious state of hatred of different races, so there was no difference in how they were classified.
Had it not been for the xenophobia, I would have become a Huda long ago.
By gently coaxing a cute female beast with animal ears suffering from the hardships of life into prostitution.
“I do not care.”
When I looked it up in the library, there were so many monsters in this world.
About 5% of them had female bodies.
Of course, female monsters were found very rarely, so their habitats were not properly written.
It was the same with Echidna.
“First…….”
Looking up, I saw the mercenary office.
The two days the receptionist said had passed, so I came right here after finishing my meal.
With high hopes, I went inside and told the receptionist.
“Hello. I entrusted recruitment two days ago.”
“Ah. Abusive mercenary Ed, right?
Are you Mac right now?
I was about to get upset, but I decided to put up with it because I saw the receptionist’s outfit, which still had a clear chest.
“Yes. Right.”
“There were four applicants. Would you like to wait inside?”
The receptionist then took me to one of the good-sized parlors.
He sat me down and handed me a beer.
“Please wait for a moment. I will call you soon.”
“Yes.”
No matter how bad the grade was, the service wasn’t bad, perhaps because he entrusted the request.
By the way.
“This… Isn’t that it?”
I felt like I was waiting for a sidewalk girl at a cheap karaoke bar.
It was the same as giving money and calling a pretty lady out of necessity.
Of course, I had never been to a place like that since I used to work part-time.
“Hehe, then let’s choose a young lady.”
After taking a few sips of beer and waiting, the press chief, no, the receptionist knocked and brought two female mercenaries.
“You waited long? Now, please introduce yourself briefly.”
Then, the receptionist pointed to the mercenary who had entered first.
The mercenary wiggled his fingers awkwardly and opened his mouth.
“Uh, I don’t have a mercenary hand yet. My parents run a restaurant, so I learned a little bit about cutting.”
Ha, fuck
Restaurant knives? It’s not even a lung grade there?
It was useless beyond the closed level.
‘But she’s pretty.’
The software is garbage, but the hardware is state-of-the-art.
This is the perfect balance.
“I am a retired mercenary, but I will be promoted to stone rank soon. I use a longsword as an armament.”
Oh girl, I took a gacha rare.
Looking at the longsword at the waist, it was clear that he was a talented person.
Besides, her appearance was better than that of the restaurant’s daughter.
“Looked good. Can the next one see it too?”
After choosing the longsword girl in my heart, I had high hopes.
“Yes. Wait.”
The receptionist, who took out the two mercenaries, immediately brought the rest of the mercenaries in.
The number of people who entered was one talented person and one common country girl, just like before.
After asking this and that, I made a choice with great care.
“I’ll pick a mercenary armed with a longsword that came in the first time and a mercenary without a mercenary card for the second time.”
“Well, I don’t think the second person is a spirit… I understand first.”
I think so too, but I decided to respect my cock’s thoughts.
After selecting the number of people following the receptionist and submitting the request form, all procedures were completed.
Then he came out of the mercenary office and looked at the two women.
“Thank you for your 3 days.”
He tilted his head slightly.
From now on you are mine for 3 days.
Two women greeted me awkwardly.
* * *
The name of the mercenary who will soon be promoted to stone rank is Jeren.
The girl’s name was Tilda, as her parents farmed in the villages around Tallard.
“Then, does Yeren meet anyone?”
“Yes. There is nothing.”
“Oh, I see. They look the same age, can we talk comfortably?”
“You can do whatever is convenient for you.”
In an instant, Yeren’s favorability was amplified.
I’m not going to do anything like that, but if the pretty flowers are clean, I’m sure I’ll be more likeable.
Then Tilda intervened.
“Even if you speak comfortably to me—”
“No. It’s okay. Let’s go.”
“Yes, yes…….”
I cut off Tilda’s words, closed her mouth tightly, and headed for the carriage.
That’s right, Tilda.
-Ah… I love him unconditionally!
‘Non-virgin—!’
I fell in love when I heard that there was someone who had already lost my heart.
If it was like before, I wouldn’t know, but now I’ve decided not to touch anyone who meets the target of fate.
I made up my mind that the harassment for my routine was limited to the subject who was her virgin body and mind.
‘… In a way, she thinks that’s worse?’
It doesn’t matter, since no one knows anyway.
Tilda glanced at me anxiously, but she ignored it.
‘I don’t have a weapon, and I don’t look good in stamina.’
Thinking about it, the money I had to pay for Tilda started to feel wasteful.
‘I have to do chores.’
That’s how we arrived at the eastern gate where the coachmen were gathered.
When combining the information from Sophia Drin and the books in her library, Echidna’s habitat was the eastern giant wetland.
The race itself lives in the wetlands, and it is said that humans stopped walking long ago because there were no resources in that large wetland area.
“Hello. We will go to the village of Enford.”
“Yes? Enford?”
The coachman didn’t seem to know the name of the village.
“It’s a town on the eastern side of the Great Marsh, but you don’t have to know.”
“Ah! I know. It’s been such a long time since I’ve heard it. Is it one way?”
You know that right?
I’ll have to ask for a price.
“Yes. Three people one way.”
“Then give me thirty dinars.”
What?
Thirty dinars?
“We are leaving immediately.”
“Come on.”
Even if you ride alone, it costs at least 30 dinars.
I thought maybe even 60 dinars, but I’m lucky.
It’s a pleasant start.
“I’ll be there shortly after lunch, so at least take a nap.”
It’s a pity, but the wagon was so damn hard that it was clear he wouldn’t be able to sleep.
We got into the carriage and each of us took a comfortable seat.
Of course, the comfortable seat for me is right next to Jeren.
“Soon to be stone grade? Awesome. I’m still scrappy. It’s a long way from being promoted.”
If a consensus is formed by nature, it is easy to become friendly.
Let’s get along well with the same waste class.
“No big deal. It happened because I received orders mainly with good results.”
What kind of knight does he look like?
Organized words and actions are very classy.
“Wow, great! If I finish this quest well, I’ll get a mercenary card, too, right?!”
On the other hand, Tilda with her fuss was a nuisance.
“Okay.”
As I answered roughly, Tilda’s lips pouted as she stared at the bottom of the carriage.
I wondered if I was doing too much, but Tilda was strangely instinctively reluctant.
With such an uncomfortable thought, I put my head on the carriage wall for a while and looked at Jerwen.
Eyelashes look like deer.
I think my breasts are too big…….
―Get ready.
Huh?
“Calm down.”
I woke up to the sensation of someone shaking my body.
“Huh?”
“… It is an assault.”
When I slowly came to my senses, it seemed that I had fallen asleep.
Seeing that Jer En’s shoulder was covered with my saliva, I leaned against her to sleep – what!?
“A raid?!”
Fuck you!
Startled, I grabbed the dagger from my waist.
A used dagger that I bought in Talad this time because I couldn’t get my dagger back when I was kicked out of the village.
“Uh, what should I do!”
Tilda looked around urgently.
“The coachman… No?!”
No matter where he ran, the coachman had already disappeared.
“Five humans. It doesn’t seem like good intentions.”
Jerwen, who looked outside, spoke calmly.
There was something reassuring about that attitude, but to be honest, it was difficult to defeat five bandits or thieves with just two seniors and a country girl.
‘Should I run away?’
Then Jeren looked at me and said.
“It is better to be outside than inside the wagon. I’ll deal with the first two, so you two should run away quickly.”
What?
“Right now!”
Yer-en jumped out quickly without listening to Tilda and my answer.
“Uh, huh?”
“Damn it, come here quickly!”
I called Tilda, but she was bruised because she was startled.
“Come here, bitch!”
Damn!
“Kyaaaaagh!”
I slapped Tilda on the cheek, grabbed her by the wrist, and threw her out of the wagon.
Chaeyoung-!
“Keussok, run away quickly!”
“Escape? Don’t be funny All three of you will die here.”
Outside the wagon, Yeren was confronting three people, not two, with a long sword.
Tears flowed at the sight of Yer En who prevented the other two from trying to attach themselves to us.
“Yes, Yeren! Sorry!”
I was upset.
If I was strong, none of this would have happened.
No, it’s my stupid fault that this happened.
None of this would have happened if I had been suspicious of the absurdly low wages.
“Sorry-!”
The desire to survive, stronger than loyalty or anger, filled my head.
Carrying the crippled Tilda on my back, I ran away.
