Chapter 238 – Special Missions
I have to come up with a plan to go back to Arpagon as soon as possible and eat Elina. These guys are so annoying.
“If you go to the logging area, there are traces of Drake, you can follow them.”
“We don’t know exactly where the traces are. If you go with someone who knows the location, you won’t get lost, so you can save time.”
“… I will discuss it with my colleagues for a while.”
It wasn’t that the vice-captain was wrong. But the important thing is that I’m not reluctant. He spoke quietly so that only Roin and Natalia could hear him.
“What do we do… ?”
“I think you should do whatever you want. If you’re an ordinary knight, even if you’re a noble, you don’t have a title, so if you put up your status, you might ignore it. For a noble with a title, it’s a bit…”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“Yes… Sorry for not being of much help.”
“What do you have to be sorry about? Are you okay.”
I stroked the apologetic Natalia’s head and looked at the vice-captain. Whether he knew what I was thinking or not, the vice-captain broke his wrist and pretended to warm up his body, laughing heartily.
“Drake! Drake! I’ll try to catch it after a long time.”
“Have you ever caught one?”
At William’s question, the vice-captain nodded.
“Of course! It’s about 20 years ago, but that’s all.”
“Twenty years ago was the time when an expedition team was formed to explore unexplored areas, right?”
“Well, how much trouble did you have to deal with the dragons who were engaged in guerrilla warfare in the forest. It was really hard, especially when you controlled the drake to attack. How the massive thing moved so fast.”
The vice-captain’s words, which seemed to recall the past, caught my heart. He said that he had just fought the Yongin people, apparently the Yongin people. The Drake I encountered today was also a monster that the dragons were working on. I wonder if it has something to do with it because I’m worried about it.
I listened to their conversation to hear more closely.
“How did you decide?”
“Yes?”
I thought I would be able to hear more about the dragon people, but the vice-captain’s gaze was on me, as if the conversation had just ended.
“… Yes. I will guide you, but can you guide me to the part where there were traces? The damage from being attacked by the drake in the morning is really bad, so I need to go back and get some rest.”
“Umm, I wish I could guide you to the place where I met Drake.”
“Okay…”
There was nothing to be gained from staying here any longer, and if he guided them to the place where he met Drake as the vice-captain requested, it would be overwork. Free labor, free!
It’s free. It’s so nice when I get it, but when I have to give someone something for free, it’s arguably the most terrible story in the world.
I bit my lip and nodded reluctantly when I heard a soldier’s voice from outside the tent.
“Excuse me.”
“What is going on?”
“There are two mercenaries, a woman and a man, and they said they found traces of the monster and brought them back.”
“Let it in!”
As soon as the vice-captain’s permission was granted, unwelcome faces entered the tent.
Fade was not a very welcome face from the beginning, and bald was even more unwelcome because he was the one who attacked.
The two of them started later than we did, so it should be time for them to come back soon.
The bald head still has a gloomy expression, but at least she’s looking at us and not trying to rush in like before.
While looking at the two people who were not very happy, I thought that I had an opportunity to pass on the troublesome task, so I talked to the vice-captain.
“Vice-captain, the two people who have just entered are the people who were with Drake when they were attacked. Not only that, but they stayed longer than us on the raid site. These people will be better at guiding the way than we are.”
“Hmm? Is it?”
“Sure. Besides, my party is not in a good condition right now because of the drake’s attack. If you run into Drake along the way, you will be a burden.”
It’s enough to pass on troublesome things to someone else. At my words, the vice-captain stroked his chin and then nodded his head in agreement.
“Then I see. Let’s ask them It’s good to go back.”
“Yes. It’s natalie Roin. Let’s go.”
Before the vice-captain changed his mind, he quickly grabbed Natalia and Roin’s wrists and left the tent.
“Ugh, I almost got stuck guiding you.”
“Hanseong is so quick, isn’t he?”
“I got money, but it’s better not to bother.”
“Good job. After all, my husband.”
Roin smiled brightly and hugged his arms tightly, pressing his large breasts tightly. The lower back itches from the heavy weight that crushes the form as soon as his arm touches it.
I left camp with two people. If you walk a little, you will be able to return to Arpagon in no time.
It feels good to be able to go home while the sun is up, thanks to having Fade do the heavy lifting.
It’s Fade… Are you useful sometimes?
He must have been caught by the vice-captain and forced to give directions. Since he is not a noble and is a 3rd class mercenary with no power, he will never be able to resist the knight’s instructions.
“Oh, come to think of it, that’s what the vice-captain was talking about earlier.”
“Story? Which?”
“The story about fighting the Yongin people 20 years ago. Do you know anything more about what’s going on?”
“20 years ago? I’m not a native here, so there’s no way I know?”
“I don’t know either.”
Natalya and Roin shook their heads.
Well, there’s no way the two of them knew about what happened 20 years ago in Arpagon.
“I’m from Arpagon…”
A native of Arpagon… Thermia’s pretty face passed through her mind. She’s a native of Arpagon, so does she know something? No, since she is a commoner, there is no way she knows anything about the expedition organized by the count’s family. Besides, she’s on the West Way, so she can’t even ask.
Then, who else is there besides her? Elena or Elena? They are not natives of Arpagon. Someone who was born and raised in Arpagon and should be familiar with the affairs of an aristocratic family…
Who is it?
As I was thinking deeply, Natalya spoke to her.
“Why are you suddenly curious about what the vice-captain said?”
“Oh, just a little… Even the Drake we fought had dragon race runes engraved on it. So I thought maybe it had something to do with it.”
“Um…”
Yongin people, Arpagon natives… Relations with the count family…
“Ah…”
There is only one person who meets that condition.
Liliana. In addition to being a dragon race, he has been growing up in Arpagon since he was a baby, and he is working at an orphanage sponsored by the count family, so he is more bright about the count family’s circumstances than ordinary people.
If so, does she know anything about what happened 20 years ago? If she finds out something about the Yongin tribe, she will definitely be of great help in attacking the Arpagon family.
When I have time, I think it would be good to visit the orphanage.

Returning to Arpagon, he headed straight to the mercenary guild. It was around evening time, so the line at the reception desk was quite crowded with mercenaries rushing in to report after completing their missions like us.
“I hate having a lot of people.”
“Is it the smell of sweat? It also seems to smell a bit unpleasant.”
Natalya, who was next to me, clung to me and clung to me. Roin, who was on the other side, scratched his cheek and sniffed.
“Because it’s full of people who just finished the quest and returned. I can’t help but smell the sweat. Come to think of it, I used to go into crowds of people to get requests early in the morning. After hanging out with Hanseong, I had a lot of free time, so things like that have decreased.”
“Hmm…”
Ever since we started working together, I have been constantly asking about work. Was it after the man-eating bear request that they started going together in earnest?
The old man before meeting me… Come to think of it, Roin at that time was earning money hard. He didn’t have much money, so he went around in clothes that were almost naked and bewitched men.
“When I went into the crowd near the bulletin board to get a request early in the morning, some guys secretly touched my butt.”
“What?”
It is unforgivable that there were guys who kept touching the old man’s body like shrimp crackers.
“What bastards!”
“Don’t worry. Guys who touched my body broke their fingers on the spot.”
“Good job. The old man’s body must not be touched by anyone other than me.”
My girls are so attractive I can’t be sure. I’m worried that Thermia and Germi in the West Way are doing well. I am full of desire to finish my work here as soon as possible and return.
“Huh… Be tired I want to quickly finish the request and go to sleep.”
The old man with his arms folded buried his face in my shoulder and yawned loudly.
“If you’re tired, would you like to go home with Natalya first?”
“Hmm… Is that okay?”
“Are you okay. I’m thinking of going to see Elena after I finish watching.”
“Um…”
Roin, who had been gently wiping the tears from her yawn, glanced at Natalia.
“Hey Natalie. What do you want to do?”
“Me? Hmm… Umm…”
“You’ll have to repair the skeleton too, don’t you have some work to do? I’m going first. I’ll go home as soon as I’m done.”
“Hmm… I’m a little tired because of the magic that goes into skeleton repair… Do you have to stop leaking somewhere else and come back by evening?”
“Huh. Don’t worry.”
As they pushed their backs, Natalya and Roin broke away from the line at the reception desk and left the mercenary guild.
