Chapter 223 – 50. Determination. (3)
Yes.
Elizabeth rubbed several times on the soft bed.
The sun is already setting outside the window. She didn’t think about anything and wanted to stay like this longer, so she buried her head into her pillow, but she couldn’t look worse, and she managed to get herself up. She woke up from sitting idly on the edge of her bed with her blonde hair hanging down like a ghost.
She roughly tidied up her face and hair with the water she had prepared last night, tidied up her clothes, and went out.
Everyone had gone to work, so the hideout was quiet. As she descended into the hall on the first floor, she greeted the incompetent mage as her stand-by, Chick-Cut Karanos, yawned at her.
“Let’s have breakfast and go to Danju.”
Elisabeth finished her breakfast like a crab, and headed to the guild house with a slicing knife. Because of last night’s incident, she also realized her fear of Vermand Dois, and did not refuse her escort. … Of course, if she was prepared, she would be able to kill such an insignificant scoundrel in one shot, but she couldn’t help it if she was suddenly attacked like yesterday. A wizard without magic is no different from an ordinary person.
The guild house was crowded with people.
As well as being a dick-sucking slut from the street, she was actually fucking a little further down the corner. In the midst of sex, the merchant solicited customers, and the drunkards rubbed my crotch and engaged in drinking. There were even quite a few cubs who were openly attacking the beautiful Elizabeth… Of course, if Chichi Cut opened her eyes once, it would fall off on its own.
“Take good care of yourself. Even if I’m a little stupid here, I’m going to get rid of everything.”
The two entered the guild house and headed to the office of Allen-Mercenary Corps.
Allen’s office, which has settled down in a great place on the 3rd floor that you can’t even dream of unless you’re in the top 10. Of course, his prestige was also unparalleled.
Hey, Chichi, who went into her office with Elizabeth, pretended to know the female counter and raised her hand.
“I brought guests.”
“Oh, you can go in.”
“Go in.”
The incompetent wizard glanced at the two men and went into the drinking room alone.
It’s not as glamorous as Viola’s office, but just having Allen, the money ogre in the top 10, was sitting in front of her desk. … When did he become such a huge giant?
“Ah, you are here. Sit down please.”
Allen held the chair across from her with her hand. Elizabeth did not want to show her servility, and she acted as confidently as she could, but the deep sense of defeat on her face was not the kind that could be easily erased. She was one of the best in the East, with her beauty and pity added, so there was something that strangely stimulated men’s romantic feelings.
“Was the bed comfortable?”
“… It was fine.”
“I’m glad.”
And the silence that followed.
Normally, it would have been a good time to organize her thoughts, but today it was a very nervous time for her.
Allen’s fingers, which had been moving like waves, pounding on the desk, stopped abruptly. Elizabeth’s gaze, which had been staring at it, reflexively rose.
“Have you thought about it?”
“… What do you think?”
“What you need to do next.”
Ah.
“It’s not just something I want to do, it’s something I have to do.”
What he pointed out was not what he wanted to do, but what he had to do.
“To be honest, no mercenary would want to come under you. Or you’d have to pay twice as much, and you, broke, can’t afford that.”
His words were cold, but his tone was soft.
“What would you like to see? Rumors have already spread that he is incompetent. … Or do you think your magic is amazing? Of course, it’s better than normal mages, but is that enough to be a reason for joining? Do you have a future? So do you have money? Or not… , Do you have enough leadership to cover it all?”
Elizabeth felt her heart thump again. As she lowered her gaze, his tone sharpened slightly.
“Don’t try to avoid it again. Ultimately, it is a problem that will have to be confronted at some point.”
“… I do not avoid it.”
“Then think about it. Do you really have the capacity as a sober?”
She did not answer.
He opened a drawer and set a heavy leather bag down on the desk.
“Gap a thousand gold coins. I can borrow it if you want. Of course, you will get all of them without subtracting a single penny. If you can’t pay… , Then leave it to the imagination. If you are confident, take it.”
It was the money the incompetent wizard had so longed for.
But her hand was not ready to go to her purse.
… When you think about it very soberly, can this money really make a dramatic difference?
Can she create a mercenary group and really succeed?
Can you proudly overcome all these denials and bad words?
Do you really have the ability to do that?
The incompetent wizard couldn’t get hold of her purse after all.
At that moment, Elizabeth collapsed.
Really everything collapsed.
Even the last pride.
Ah-.
She crouched down.
She curled up and cried.
“Look at me, then what are you going to do with me… How far are you going to make me fall? How far…”
Faced with her own incompetence, she was ultimately broken.
When she finally calmed down from her sobbing, she said a word to him who was still watching her.
“Open the door.”
“… Yes… ?”
“The gate of the source. End of the world.”
ㅡ!
Allen smiled lightly.
“What is Danju up to? It’s sweet that it’s wide and scattered. Even if you don’t have the qualities of a sober, you have more magical talent than anyone else.”
“… But…”
Granzo Danju said no. She has no chance
“Why?”
“Grenzo Danzou, she said no…”
“… In my opinion, no.”
“… Yes?”
Allen smiled charmingly and cupped her chin.
“I think you can open the door. Believe. You know I’m not talking nonsense. And the results are also proving it.”
Her wet eyes widened slightly.
“I don’t know about Elizabeth, the sorcerer, but Elizabeth, the sorceress, will surely succeed greatly. However, you have to look closely at yourself. Don’t ignore the problem in front of you. … What do you think is the reason it hasn’t worked so far?”
“… Didn’t you try?”
“Of course there is that, but the main reason is that you have always avoided your own problems.”
… !
“I was afraid in the dark. What if there is no further progress in the magic you are most confident about? The talent that you boast so much about, it can’t be good if it’s not good looking. … Because that is the only pride left to the human Elizabeth.”
… It was too accurate. To give you goosebumps.
“I am not trying to give you easy words to overcome that fear. However, the door to the source does not simply require magical talent. That might save some time, but it’s not the key that unlocks the door.”
At one point, Elizabeth was completely absorbed in Allen’s words and listened to her.
“All human beings always feel fear when they try to achieve something. Afraid that her own bottom will be exposed. … However, bottoming out is inevitable for success. That way you can handle yourself as efficiently as possible.”
Allen tapped her desk with only her index finger raised.
“Elizabeth. Perhaps this is an opportunity that you will never have again, as a human being, not a princess or a princess. Because of this, you have come to know your own bottom.”
Her lowest point.
“Now put it on top of it. Your efforts. Your performance. Your success… Try struggling ugly. Didn’t you buy enough to buy ridicule anyway? What could be more embarrassing? Now sitting there is the human Elisabeth. Human Elizabeth, let’s see how far she can go.”
He opened her drawer again, took out a piece of paper from her, and pushed it toward her.
“I’ll make sure you don’t have to worry about eating and sleeping. You die, just try. If you need resentment as fuel for your efforts, do it. If you need love, so be it. It is your freedom.”
It was Allen’s contract with the mercenary corps.
“I will be your shelter. I’m hiring wizard Elizabeth. … Use me as a stepping stone or whatever you do, do whatever you want.”
… This may lead to the duke’s hatred.
There was no way he was smart and didn’t know that.
By the way, why?
Why did he come now
Are you trying to shoulder this burden?
“Why… ?”
Allen laughed.
“I am a merchant. You buy your future in advance at a low price. I don’t like princess Elizabeth, but I like human Elizabeth.”
She was taken aback by the dealer’s flamboyant tongue.
“And, if you hit the floor, and your mind is straight, wouldn’t you really try to get your dick out? … Oh, have you already lost your dick?”
When the money ghost joked and laughed, Elizabeth followed suit and laughed a little. Of course, she quickly corrected her face again.
“… It’s not funny at all, is it?”
“Oh, excuse me. I only know bad jokes.”
Elizabeth stared at the paper lying on her desk for a very long time.
It’s like contemplating your life so far.
… Then, she grabbed the quill lying next to the paper.
“… Can I sign here?”
