Chapter 97 – The Two-Faced Receptionist.
“We met here last time, right? Do you always stay here?”
“Yes. Except for when I go out for a request, I am always here.”
“Isn’t it burdensome with the money of a 4th grade mercenary?”
“Oh, I have some money saved up.”
After troll hunting, the money I have is quite good. In addition, I paid for the operation cost with the injection-type physical therapy as a courtesy to the slave traders of the black moon.
Thanks to that, I have plenty of money.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t know, but I would have had to go to work for the old man.
I don’t like hard work.
There is also a purpose to absorbing Germi’s organization. Because it is possible to secure funding.
Labor is short-lived, expedient is eternal.
Convection⋯. Illegal is the best
“Hmm… Anyway, he said he liked me and helped me. Does that mean you want to be friends with me?”
“Yes. I want to get to know you.”
I wish I could be close enough to have a physical conversation.
“Is it simply because you want to be friends? Or should I assume that you like me rationally?”
“Um…”
That’s a pretty straightforward question. Why are you so active today?
Friend, opposite sex.
Honestly, in my personal opinion, I think it is difficult to maintain a friendship between a man and a woman.
But that’s my opinion and Elina may think differently.
She may think that the relationship between the sexes separates her friends and lovers.
Wouldn’t it be better to pretend we’re not and say we want to get to know each other as friends?
Or would it be better to be honest and say that you are looking at it rationally?
No, I don’t think that would be good either.
Elina is a woman who constantly runs for her own ideals. For her now, her own dreams come first.
But what if I said that I liked it as a member of the opposite sex and Elina felt burdened by it?
‘I don’t have any thoughts of dating yet. Sorry.’
Even if an answer like this comes out, all the hard work will be in vain.
That’s the worst for me.
Shall we start as friends?
“Well. How can the human mind be so rigidly determined? I have a crush on Elina. However, I’m not sure if this is love feelings.”
For now, this answer will suffice.
It’s not good for Elina to push her to the point where she feels burdened.
Approach slowly while maintaining some distance while giving room.
“Hmm, is it? Do you want to get to know each other as friends?”
“Perhaps?”
“By the way, Mr. Hanseong, what is your relationship with the people who registered for the party?”
I thought I’d ask. When you think of my party, the question naturally comes to mind.
From the time I first registered as a mercenary, Natalya, a first-class mercenary, stood as a guarantor of my identity.
Is it possible to do that unless it is a normal relationship?
“It was Natalia-sama and Roin-sama, right? What is your relationship with those two? Between lovers?”
But why would she ask me this?
‘Are you dating someone? If not, would you like to go out with me?’
It can’t be that I’m asking for such a pure purpose.
“Yes, both of them are my girls.”
This world has a slightly different common sense and notion than the modern Earth I used to live in.
A world where polygamy is possible. And polygamy is not illegal. Commoners default to monogamy, but that’s the story of commoners.
Powerful aristocrats and wealthy merchants practice polygamy or polygamy.
In other words, a man with many wives has no choice but to see that he has that much power and economic power.
Was Elina a commoner who lived day by day? She is from the family of the chairman of a large corporation. She is also a hard-working workaholic aiming for the presidency.
On the other hand, the external status I have now is a 4th grade mercenary. End.
That’s why there is no way that I can’t stand out as a person with her status.
She is a growing calf. Then, of course, you need a bivil hill. It is difficult to take a high position through individual efforts alone.
You will need some support from someone with status and status, that is, a back ship.
“Hmm…”
Elina drooled and looked at me.
How will Elina see me now?
How do I see myself in her eyes?
A first-class mercenary, a fledgling mercenary whose guarantor was a noble necromancer named Alexander Natalia.
He hunted the second-class monster, the Spider Queen, and the first-class monster, the troll, and has the mysterious wealth of living with two women at a high-level inn where a fourth-class mercenary cannot survive.
I can’t help but think it’s strange
Make me mistaken
It’s to make me think that it’s Bil Hill.
Well, if I swallow her Germi and Black Moon as she planned, I will actually have the power to help her.
In short, just let her know that I will help Elina achieve her dream.
Then she won’t want to miss me. Gratitude accumulated while helping becomes a good feeling.
It’s quite difficult to turn that into romantic feelings, but it’s worth the investment nonetheless.
If Elina, who has fallen in love with me, becomes the master of a huge organization called the Mercenary Guild, she will be of great help to me.
It is safe to say that this is an initial investment.
Growing your own little president.
“Perhaps Mr. Hanseong is a noble?”
“Stop, doesn’t everyone have their own circumstances and unspeakable secrets? Didn’t Elina also say that she doesn’t want to tell others that she’s studying alchemy or that she’s related to the mercenary guild master?”
“Alchemy⋯⋯.”
At my words, Elina muttered a little confused.
Do you think this plan worked out?
Kuhh But I never told a lie!
You’re just misunderstanding yourself!
In this case, there is nothing better to hold and talk about. It’s good to give yourself time to think.
The delusion swells and grows. I just use it
“You finished your tea. It’s late, and if Elina wants to go to work tomorrow, she’ll have to stop going in.”
“Ah, yes. Yes. The price of tea is…”
“That’s Okay. I will do what I live for.”
“⋯⋯. I drank well.”
“Go in.”
“Yes.”
He saw Elina off as she left the store.
Now, I sown the seeds for Elina as well. She is someone who will do anything for her own goals. Will he show favor to me first?
I look forward to seeing what kind of reaction you will have.
*****
I got up from the bed that had been damp all night.
Today’s routine is to meet Thermia, Fade and Germi.
For now, it would be better to meet Thermia first.
Perhaps she saw her son who returned from an injury yesterday.
You may be very concerned about this.
I need to go quickly and reassure you. I don’t forgive the crap that makes my girls insecure, specifically Andre and Ted!
After finishing the shower, I looked at Natalia and Roin sleeping on the bed and quietly left the room.
I passed by the plaza and headed to Andre’s clothing store.
-With my daughter~
As I listened to the familiar sound of the bell, I saw Thermia with a dark complexion.
“Ah, Mr. Hanseong is here…”
“You don’t look good? What happened?”
She held her shoulders as if she was very worried, and when she looked into her face, Thermia smiled lightly.
“Are you worried? I really like it⋯⋯.”
“A shadow has fallen on her pretty face, but of course I’m worried. Do you have any concerns?”
“Yeah, it’s pretty… Really… Tedra came in yesterday because she was injured. She kept her mouth shut no matter who I asked if she was hit like that ⋯⋯.”
I live in the same house, so there’s no way I haven’t seen it. Didn’t you talk about this baby after that? These scumbags! Cheating on your own family because you have no one to cheat on?
It is truly disgusting 『Evil』!!!
“Thermia-san, a little… It is an important story.”
“Yes?”
When I suddenly caught the mood and said, Thermia opened her eyes wide.
Oh, what is it? Why are you so cute Come to think of it, she still hasn’t kissed me good morning since coming.
“Well, before we talk, let’s kiss good morning.”
“Yes? To? Eup, Huum⋯. Jjook⋯⋯.”
Holding Thermia by the shoulder, she leaned over her waist, kissed her softly, and stuck her tongue out.
“Puha… I feel energetic since morning…”
“Seeing Thermia-san’s face gives me energy.”
“I’m glad. What about something more important than that?”
“Umm, let’s go somewhere quiet and talk.”
“Ah yes.”
At my words, Thermia locked the door of her shop and went ahead into the small room.
This is the room where we had our first adulterous sex before.
Good. It starts here. From here, Andre’s family will be destroyed. And make Thermia completely mine. Make me my girl
I took her 5 gold from her bosom and gave it to Thermia.
Thermia, who received a large sum of money, looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“Is this…?”
“I found it in a back alley yesterday.”
“Why did you do that to me?”
“I think it’s Thermia-san’s money.”
“⋯⋯?”
How it would hurt poor Thermia to find out that her family had cheated on her. Just thinking about her makes her heart break!!!!
But I will take good care of those wounds.
Andre! Tedra!! These bastards! You did not value Thermia.
This is my punishment sweetly accept it!!
“Tedra had it. She says Andre stole it from her shop and gave it to her.”
