Chapter 116 – 27. Overwhelming. (4)
It was so easy to defeat the Demon Beast after wandering terribly through the Demonic Realm for three days. Of course, no one knew that it was thanks to the overwhelming performance of Allen-Mercenary Corps.
Although two mercenaries belonging to the southern mercenary corps died in the sudden appearance of monsters, the result of solving the notorious monster extermination mission in the south is very good.
The group of mercenaries moved another two days and finally reached the mine fort. Of course, it’s still inside the Devil’s Land, but there’s a big difference between having a wall and not giving it a sense of security.
After staying in the fort for one more day, the group walked another half day to finally get out of the demonic realm. The moment they safely completed their mission, the mercenaries felt a sense of ecstasy. In particular, the mercenaries in the south were happy as if they had returned alive from hell, and it wasn’t even a fuss.
Of course, even at that moment, Allen did not neglect to look after the mercenaries of other mercenaries. Just in case you happen to stumble upon an uncut gemstone. … However, there was no person who caught his eye like the south, which is called a barren land.
Anyway.
The group of mercenaries rode the wagon that was waiting for them at the entrance fortress and returned to the city of Berher. The city that returns after a long week feels like a paradise for a moment.
The carriage stopped in the count’s outer yard. As soon as the mercenaries got off the wagon, they stretched out their stout bodies and groaned.
Allen cheered and praised the members for their hard work with a light smile and light applause.
“There were a lot of hardships during that time. Everyone did a very good job. Relax and enjoy until you leave.”
“Whoah!”
The crew cheered and laughed and rejoiced. Where are the mercenaries in this world who don’t like the rewards they receive for hard work?
After sending the crew up first, the sophomores also gathered together. Allen first expressed his regret to the two southerners who lost their members.
“It’s fate, what can I do?”
As expected, like a mercenary, Danju mentioned fate this time too.
Even though it was only a formal representative, Charlotte still praised the other four owners as a representative of the family. Of course, even though Allen-Mercenary was the most active person in this mission, he did not point out and praise it in front of others. It’s a fact that everyone knows even if you don’t say it anyway.
After the last report of the sophomores, the five dispersed to their respective lodgings. Allen also returned to his room, unpacked his luggage, and relieved his soreness in his bathtub.
Natasha, the gum milk tester, came to see him first before dinner. She, who was so dignified and courageous in the demon world, suddenly changed in front of Danju.
She clung to his front island as if trying to dissolve the friendship that had built up over the week, and looked up at him with an expression of longing for something of her own. Naturally, he lusted after her lips clinging to him. …… However, tonight’s guest spot is reserved in someone else’s name.
It wasn’t long after Allen returned to his room from dinner whenheheard a very soft knock on her door. Knock’s owner is Mister Elena.
[Strength: 9] [Agility: 12] [Stamina: 24] [Intelligence: 40] [Magic power: 34]
[Brightness] [Willness] [Conceit] [Greed] [Sensitiveness] [Sensitiveness] [Insomnia] [Affection] [Masturbation addiction] [Laughter]
After leaving Vermandois, Elena, who had endured for this day for a long time, was already in extreme heat. Frankly, her patience this way is much tougher than a gum test. Shall we say that she has the character of a wizard who strictly abides by the laws and regulations?
Of course, once the reins are released, it becomes more lewd and filthy than a prostitute on the street, but it is still a secret secret that only the two men and women know.
“I’m Danzuni….”
And Allen worked all night to imprint his cock once again on Elena’s soft pussy, which he had been refusing to do so long.
· · ·
Returning to the city, Charlotte completed the work related to hiring the mercenaries for two days, and now slowly turned her attention to recruiting.
This kind of passive attitude is neither good nor bad. I need to be more active… !
His southern country villager Charlotte, following the example of Allen Danju, reflected on her passive behavior and decided to seek change.
This stark gap between the two men and women is clearly a difference in attitude. He acted aggressively, but she sat in her seat and watched with her arms crossed. And that’s what made the difference.
So, the blonde-haired Danju was determined to recruit talented people for change, and first of all, she visited the sorceress Elena, whom she had been eyeing the most.
Of course, Elena was a bit surprised when she saw Charlotte suddenly appearing.
“Wait, can we talk?”
“What are you talking about… ?”
“Because it’s a bit difficult to do here.”
“… Oh, yes, come in.”
The suckling wizard let Charlotte into the room. An awkward air current flowed as the door closed. … Actually, this is the first time the two women have talked face-to-face like this.
Still, Charlotte is also a person who has already had quite a bit of time as a sophomore. Grab your opponent and become my ally—-, of course, he knew very well that shouting out did not make him a ally.
First praise, then conciliation, and finally offer. She followed this rule exactly.
“Your magic is really amazing. If it wasn’t for you, I would have struggled a lot.”
“Ah, thank you for the compliment. … Still, it is a skill that is still lacking.”
“Absolutely not. That’s enough to be proud of.”
They give compliments, but who doesn’t like it? Of course, clever Elena noticed at once that it was a compliment with intention. All of a sudden, he came to me and just praised me innocently? … Unfortunately, to believe in such intentions, she is too worn out by reality.
As expected, after the praise ended, Charlotte glanced at the wizard before she moved on to the main topic.
“How is Allen’s treatment?”
There, Elena fully grasped her opponent’s intentions. It seems like they want to recruit me, I thought.
“Good.”
“…… What do you regret?”
“I don’t feel any regret. Her relationship with her colleagues is also good.”
“Is that so….”
Of course, Charlotte knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but the bond between them seems to be much stronger than I thought. … However, she had no intention of stepping down like this.
After all, a mercenary’s first priority is money. So Charlotte was thinking of competing with money. Somehow, with this recruitment as an opportunity, she is prepared to seek renewal.
“Then… , I will speak directly.”
Charlotte erased her smile and declared in a solemn tone.
“I will give you fifty gold coins every month. … Of course! Our mercenary corps lacks a lot compared to Allen-mercenary corps, but I plan to completely change it from this starting point. And that focal point is you. …… How is it?”
Of course, Elena didn’t mind at all. In the first place, she had no intention of leaving Allen-Mercenary Corps. Even if she gave me 10 million won.
However, the opponent is the trend of Allen Danju. I had no choice but to be careful with every word I said, fearing that if I refused openly, there would be a disadvantage for him.
“I do not know….”
“…… Maybe fifty is not enough? Then I’ll do sixty. … No, how about seventy?”
“Sorry.”
Although she seemed to be acting calmly, Elena felt an urgency she couldn’t hide from her partner.
“Okay, okay…. Then… , One hundred! That’s the most money I can afford.”
If she was a blind saint, she would have had enough money to make her eyes run wild, but unfortunately, Elena was not a person who cared too much about her money. In the first place, she is not a countess’s daughter who becomes a mercenary for money.
“Nothing… , Because money is not the problem.”
Charlotte took her answer as that her opponent was not satisfied with her own mercenary company.
“Yes, I admit it. Allen-Compared to the mercenary corps, we are still lacking a lot. … However! It will change. Obviously. I will try harder and work harder. …… Still, can’t you?”
“…… Sorry. I wish we hadn’t talked about this.”
There, Charlotte’s expectations collapsed. Again, as expected.
In fact, it was too unlikely to be disappointed that she had failed. So she tried not to discourage Charlotte too.
“Okay. I see. … I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”
“No. I fully understand Danju’s feelings.”
It was sincere. Because she once served as the head of the family’s temporary mercenary group…. As a single owner, it is natural for her to want to recruit good talent.
“Then, get some rest.”
“Yes.”
Charlotte Danjou forced a smile, but the smile faded as soon as she left her room.
She felt as if a heavy stone had fallen on her chest. She tried not to, but… , Still, her indelible sense of despair and defeat engulfed her whole body.
… There was a good chance it wouldn’t happen anyway. There are many wizards in the world. It’s starting now. From now on… !
Her southern country boy kept reminding me of Allen Danju. But he was already far out of sight.
Maybe now to him she… ,
Maybe he has become an existence that doesn’t even need to be sold like that time.
