Chapter 118 – Episode 15. Acquisition of PMC
“The 300 million yen acquisition fee will be divided equally among the 10 of us.”
Azuma Sawayanagi declared as she signed her papers. If 300 million yen was divided among 10 people, it was 30 million yen per person. It was as if this was the first time everyone had touched that kind of money! She was happy doing it.
“I was the president, but we all ran the business together. Everyone worked without being paid properly…”
When I heard about Azuma Sawayanagi’s work, he said that even if he was on a combat mission, after paying off debt and making repairs, there was only about 20,000 to 30,000 yen left per person.
So, even if you make three bets a month, you still get paid 900,000 won? It’s amazing, everyone. Is it because they are still young and don’t know how the world works, or is it because they thought things would get better after paying off their debt? I couldn’t know because I wasn’t the party involved.
“Then we need to change the salary system as well. Would you like to receive money if you complete the mission as you have done up to this point? Or would you like to do it on a monthly basis?”
Chieri Mimata asked. Since the stake is with Chieri Mimata, it would be right for Chieri to ask. Actually, I haven’t even thought about the salary system.
“There are also compromises. “It’s a monthly salary system, but you get extra money every time you complete a mission.”
Ten people decided to vote on the salary. They said they would split 300 million yen anyway, so I guess that means there is no need to rush.
“Now that I’ve signed the acquisition agreement, please take care of my debt.”
Azuma Sawayanagi said with an earnest expression as he gave me the documents related to the debt. In fact, I don’t think he would have even thought about an acquisition, and Azuma Sawayanagi’s debt would be a more important issue. Actually, I didn’t really care if this shabby office or warehouse was blown up. Since I was planning to move to a nice building anyway, I still had to use this shabby office until I bought a building or built a new one, so I guess I should pay off the debt. And I feel uncomfortable about continuing to be in debt to Black Tech.
“Then you can put the money into the account on the documents here.”
Chieri Mimata said after receiving the document from me and reading it. Chieri Mimata said, “I’ll take care of it right away,” And called somewhere with the documents. He appeared to be calling the bank. It seemed like a clear confirmation that the owner of the debt had changed.
“I completely handled it. Now Seryu Military Company is free from debt.”
“Wow~!!”
Six pairs of eyes, watching our every move, cheered when we heard that the debt was gone. Debt is definitely something that tightens a person’s heart. I heard that he inherited the debt from his predecessor, and since the debt has been paid off for almost six years, it was natural to cheer.
“Now, let me introduce you to my colleagues at Seryutai. “This is Vice President Shinya Sawayanagi.”
“Thank you, investor! “My name is Shinya Sawayanagi.”
Shinya Sawayanagi was an ordinary-looking man, but from what I remember, he was an excellent net diver and an expert in planting and disarming bombs. He was one of the 4 out of 10 without any superpowers, but he still had something outstanding about him, so he should be the Vice President.
“This is Sawayanagi Tobe. “He is the assault leader of our Seryutai.”
“As a man, I will definitely repay the favor of repaying my debt.”
Sawayanagi Tobe was a tall, almost two meter tall, sports-haired man with the build of a sumo wrestler, and he had what I remember as steel skin, the ability to turn his skin into steel. So he was used as a tank and assault trooper in the game, but here he is also playing the role of assault leader.
“This cute girl is Seari Sawayanagi.”
“Hello!”
A very cute girl who looked to be about sixteen raised her hand in greeting. Oh, this is Sawayanagi Seari. In the beginning, it was thought to be not very good as it only had a vague ability to control the wind (though it was useful for things like tracking), but in fact, it was the owner of Seryu Military Company’s highest potential.
This is because they have the body of a fairy, like Yukiko, who has the body of a succubus, and me, who has the body of a cambion. They say that in the late game, his potential explodes and he can wipe out an entire company by himself, but in fact, if you raise the playable character well until the late game, it is much stronger, so there were few people who raised it. Since it is a form of employment, it is also difficult to write.
Well, I don’t have to do anything here, so it will grow on its own.
“The two here are sisters. This is the older sister, Kiyona Hori, and this is the younger sister, Kiyona Marie.”
They were two pretty girls who looked similar in goth loli outfits, but the older sister had breasts and no superpowers, and her younger sister did not have breasts and had superpowers. On the Internet, it is said that she is Marie, who traded her breasts for superpowers, but it is clear that the older sister did not have superpowers and had bigger breasts, so she had better physical stats and was good at driving, so she was good at driving airplanes and cars. Kiyonamari, on the other hand, had her Pyrokinesis ability, which gave her the ability to create fire and wreak havoc. Despite their similar appearances, they both had different uses, so they rarely acted together in games.
“No, Azuma-chan! Why are we the only ones being introduced at once?”
“That’s right! Even if you are sisters, it is not a set menu~!”
“You saw it, right? “These are the kids.”
“”Azuma-chan!””
There are three people filming a scene. The four people who had not yet returned from their mission were said to be introduced later, so the introductions were over.
“Now that we’ve become a family, I’ll take care of dinner!”
Just looking at it, it looks like he must have saved a lot of money by not being able to eat what he wanted because of debt, so I need to increase his likeability with something delicious.
“Our boss is rich, so let’s go to expensive and delicious places! Everyone, please recommend where to go.”
It was Chieri Mimata who called him boss instead of junior in front of others. She began to solemnly discuss all of Mimatachieri’s words. It was a battle between the meat group and the sushi group, but the owner, Azuma Sawayanagi, sided with the sushi group and made a reservation at the most expensive sushi restaurant in Fussa City.
Fusashi is not Tokyo, so I thought it would be expensive, but the price was reasonable. When I asked Azuma Sawayanagi, he said that because there are many PMCs, a lot of money comes in at once when a mission is completed, and since the PMCs themselves are risking their lives for their work, there are quite a lot of people who spend money extravagantly. So, she said, a high-end restaurant and entertainment culture naturally developed.
Well, there was a story like that. We went straight to a sushi restaurant called Fussa Best Sushi (福生 第一 寿司). We ordered one assorted sushi per person and told them to eat it all and add as much sushi as they wanted.
“My!”
It was a sushi restaurant of such good quality that surprising restaurant collector Chieri Mimata was surprised. The guys from Seryu Military Company and we ate as much sushi as we could and then went to an izakaya for a quick drink for the second time. It is said to be a regular restaurant for people from Seryu Military Company, and it definitely had a more down-to-earth atmosphere than the first sushi restaurant.
Still, it was quite delicious as it was a long-time favorite restaurant of Seryu Military Company people. It was quite funny to see the people at Seryu Military Company looking at me happily as I enjoyed the snack. It was like watching a foreigner enjoying the traditional food of his country.
Seari, who looked young, was actually 23 years old, so she was able to enjoy drinking. Instead, because he was weak from alcohol, he was seen lying face down on the table in the middle of the night and falling asleep.
After a fun time, it was late at night and it was time to part ways. We went outside and gathered in front of the store, but there was one person missing. The president, Azuma Sawayanagi, was nowhere to be seen. Where is the boss?
“Where is Azuma?”
Since everyone except Sister Kiyonahori Mari was Sawayanagi, it was decided to add her name + Mr. When calling her by her title, so they called her Azuma-san and looked for Sawayanagi.
Seari Sawayanagi, who had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and was lying down on Tobe Sawayanagi, woke up, muttered something, and shouted at us.
“I asked the wind… Azuma-chan was kidnapped by five people! If I hadn’t fallen asleep, I would have found it right away… !”
Her face turned pale as if she had been completely intoxicated by the words of Sawa Yanagi Seari, with tears in her eyes. She was suddenly kidnapped… ! Moreover, if they kidnapped Seari Sawayanagi while she was asleep, it was highly likely that they were people who knew them well.
“First of all, stop crying. Do you know where I went?”
In response to my question, Sawa Yanagi Seari raises her hand and points to one side.
“What’s over there?”
“Over there… “There is a secret black tech laboratory.”
When I asked her vice president, Shinya Sawayanagi, she shuddered and answered, as if she didn’t want to even think about it. Is the secret laboratory such a dangerous place?
“Let’s go to the warehouse first, get the equipment, and then go rescue them.”
He spoke in a stern voice to the people who were all greatly traumatized by the mention of a secret laboratory. After hearing my words, the people of Seryutai came to their senses and ran to the warehouse.
“Senior, do you have any equipment?”
“It’s in the car I drove.”
I don’t really need any equipment, but I’ll probably wear a helmet anyway. As I stood in front of the vacant lot in front of the warehouse holding my helmet, Seryutai people equipped with equipment gathered one by one. As Chieri Mimata gathered in tech wear, I opened my mouth.
It’s a bit weird for me to act like a leader, but since everyone is so dumbfounded, I have no choice but to step forward.
“Let’s go!”
We took an old transport driven by Kiyona Hori and headed to Black Tech’s secret laboratory.
