Chapter 80 – 18. Chapter 2. (3)
Hearing the news that there were a lot of magicians from the Magic Tower in Vermandois, the interested mercenaries began to gather in the mercenary city.
If it’s an ugly mercenary, I’ll snoop around to see if there’s even a drop of beans, and if it’s a proud mercenary, I’ll look around to see if there’s a wizard worth using.
And, the face of the proud mercenaries was much more glamorous than expected.
Donovan-Mercenary Corps, nicknamed the Iron Man, a huge muscular man with a height of over 2 meters, the giant Alvarest-Mercenary Corps, King-Mercenary Corps, one of the few wizards on the continent, and Madame Oh, who amassed an enormous fortune through skillful tactics. Bonne-Mercenary Corps, and even the top 10 Dagon-Mercenary Corps and Zione-Mercenary Corps.
The status of the Mage Tower, which had been cut off from the outside world for a long time, was roughly like that. The anticipation that perhaps a wizard with a level as high as Danju, the wizard king, would be common.
In fact, Viola didn’t have such expectations until she met the wizards from the Mage Tower. Although she was much disappointed later because her figures were worse than expected.
Anyway. For whatever reason, once they came to the mercenary city, it was a common custom for them to say hello to Danzoo Viola, a top 10 player. It’s not wise to offend the 10th class with trivial things. … Of course, Viola is not such a great person.
… But there was one person she didn’t like very much.
Dana Kelfrey, the younger sister of Dagon, the leader of the top 10, and the leader of the Dagon-Mercenary Corps.
Red-haired Dana burst open the door to Viola’s office and greeted her like someone who had no worries in the world.
“Sister, long time no see—!”
There were dried bloodstains here and there on her thin top, where her nipples protruded. It gave off a bloody atmosphere, combined with the knife marks that ran diagonally across her face.
“Ah, that’s frustrating. It’s because I’m not incessant. He’s also stuck in the office all day, just working. I’d rather just wander around.”
Dana, who has a lively personality, said she hated office work, and shook her hand, sat down on a chair, scratched her groin obscenely, and sniffed the smell.
Viola, who has a tidy personality, naturally frowned between her eyebrows, but she didn’t bother to say anything bad. Because she doesn’t change anything.
“… Okay, what are you doing here, again?”
“I heard that the mage tower was ruined. That’s why I came.”
Dana grinned, showing her teeth.
“We need some wizards in our business. Just because the stock was released after a while.”
“Our business,” She said, was obvious. Just drugs. It’s an open secret that everyone already knows that Dagon’s main business in the top 10 is the drug business.
Alas, the redhead, who had been splintering, took something of hers out of her pants. Envelopes again this time. It’s also pink, which means innocence.
“I want my brother to tell me.”
Dagon’s love letter. Viola accepted it for now, but she had no intention of having any dealings with the damn fiend.
I’m sure I sent a euphemistic refusal the other day, but it seems like it’s not going to work for a drug lord.
“But it is. Are there any good wizards out there? Sister, you look good like that.”
“Well. I’m not really interested.”
“… Do you think she doesn’t catch her eye more than I thought?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t even check. … I hate the sense of authority in the Mage Tower.”
It wasn’t a joke, it was sincere. Viola hated the wizard’s sense of authority, who was stubbornly obsessed with being from the Magic Tower. As if he should say that he looked down on mercenaries.
Then, Dana leaned her upper body toward the viola and whispered as if she were telling a great story.
“In that case, you just have to beat me until you hear me say it. Originally, brutes need to be beaten to come to their senses.”
The viola was heard in one ear and let out in the other.
“… And, unnie, give up your stubbornness now. My brother also said that he was at his limit. Are you so damn nervous these days? It’s not a joke in the family, very.”
“What does your family have to do with me?”
“Why don’t you care? You will be from the same family later.”
Heh, what about the same family?
“Or, are you still with him?”
Viola just glared at Dana and she didn’t reply. She thought that her reaction would come, but when she passed it on calmly, Dana seemed rather surprised.
“It’s not fun……. I’ll go now Give me your reply later.”
“I hope the next time we meet, it will be a useful time.”
“…… Yes, I will try.”
Her red hair grinned. … But as soon as she left her office, the smile on her lips dried up like a lie.
……… Do they really have something?
It’s very common for men and women to gossip like that on this dirty mercenary floor. But for some reason, she felt strange. It seems that the relationship between the two is not simply that between sobriety and sobriety….
That high-nosed, arrogant woman really fell in love with a man? Dagon, even rejecting her brother?
Dana was itching her body.
Fuck, I can’t stand this.

Allen, who had suffered for another three days, took a seat at a table in the corner of the hall on the first floor and sipped her beer leisurely for the first time in a while. But even during breaks, her sober mind was busy calculating this or that money.
In particular, he is in a state of deep contemplation whether to end his life at an inn early and build a hideout or to raise more money. With the funds he currently has, he should be able to buy at least one of the inn buildings on the corner of the alley….
In addition, he needed an office to receive requests, and a store to sell goods. Once the store rents a street vendor, it can somehow put out an urgent fire, but since the size of the mercenary group is quite large, the need for a hideout and office has noticeably increased.
…… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t accommodate the members this way. There will be more long-term contracts, so now hideouts have become almost essential. Now that you have a lot of money, you better do it now.
Even in [Guild Master], The first or second priority was to establish a hideout. The size of the mercenary group is growing, but without a hideout, loyalty and satisfaction decrease. Then, of course, your reputation will go down.
Of course, a high-class hideout like the Viola-House was of course impossible to hope for, and I was thinking of buying an inn building and aiming for a certain amount of income every month. First of all, it’s because it all starts like that.
After that, if you rent a street vendor and dispose of your jewels, what you need to do right away is finished.
After making a rough plan for the future, Allen sighed and leaned against the back of the chair.
The blind saintess who had accompanied Danju out for a bit of work in the morning was sitting next to him, tasting all kinds of delicious food and making a fuss about her mother.
“Try to eat some, too. This is delicious.”
“…… Sister, eat a lot.”
Odd Noon savored this enchanting taste of the world, her cheeks bursting and stuffing food into her snout.
The words of the Holy Ghost to get rid of desires and live a self-controlled life have long been erased from my mind.
…… She was far happier now than in her holy kingdom.

Dana roamed her alley humming her hum, and finally arrived at her destination. In front of an inn building with an old signboard squeaking.
The redhead vigorously opened the old wooden door and entered and scanned the hall.
Mmm, very good. This fucking poor stinker.
She wrinkled her nose, took a sip of the musty smell, and walked over to the innkeeper’s counter.
“Allen, I heard she’s here.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know.”
She took a small gold coin from her bosom, flicked it with her finger, and gave it to her opponent. The old owner snatched it up in the air and pointed her chin at a table in the corner of the hall.
Her redhead, Dana, jerked her head to look in the direction her master pointed with her chin. There, a couple of men and women were sitting and chatting.
That guy is Allen….
She strode toward it. …… He was definitely a handsome man. Since Viola unnie asked for it, should I say that she looks more attractive?
Next to a man named Allen was a nun. What a noble hobby of fucking a blind nun who can’t even see her eyes…. I got more interested.
Dana sat down across from the man without asking his permission. The smile faded from the face of the man she flirted with the nun.
“Allen?”
“…… Who…… ?”
“Are you good at fighting? It looks like a dick.”
However, forged by her long career as a mercenary, she knew that it was forbidden to judge her opponent based on her appearance. …… Then you should check it yourself.
At the same time, there was a movement like a thunderbolt. If you fail, it’s good to know the opponent’s skill as soon as you fail, and if you succeed, it’s good because you can put a knife on that pretty face as soon as you succeed.
But Dana’s dagger strayed far from her destination. She slowly turned her head towards her nun, who pushed her own arm away from her side.
“…… Aren’t you just a fucking nun?”
“Oh, bad words.”
The spirits of the two women collided fiercely.
