63. The time has come to use the power of the final boss.
The next day.
We headed to the bar to meet Seldas. The time was lunch.
When we entered the bar, the receptionist saw us and went straight into the main room.
“Now, as soon as they see us, they go straight into the main room. “Do you know your purpose right away?”
“It’s a good thing that you are quick to notice. “I guess I’m Exceed’s receptionist for no reason.”
Being a receptionist at the best dark guild in the empire is not for everyone. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of money, right?
Even if I am stronger in terms of force, he will have more money. Thinking about this made me feel sorry.
‘Well, I don’t regret coming here and becoming France’s slave.’
Someone is saved because of me.
After meeting France, I was able to gain a sense of accomplishment and pride that I had never felt before. I will probably never forget the days I spent with her.
“Ah, the receptionist is here.”
“Let’s go right in.”
We naturally headed inside, as if we were going in and out of the master bedroom.
“You’re here.”
“I guess you were waiting?”
“It has to be that way. Because there was an uproar.”
The eyes visible through Seldas’ mask drew an arc.
“I don’t think I’ll give you 1.8 Billion for nothing.”
“I told you, right? “She is confident.”
“Yes, I did. By the way.”
He tilted his head and stared sharply at France.
“Isn’t this all Barenberg’s plan? “I don’t think the princess did much.”
This time again, a blatantly dismissive statement. France’s expression turned cold.
“You’ve been ignoring me like that since last time. I don’t understand what kind of confidence you have.”
France’s sharp voice. Seldas did not give in to this. Instead, she even laughed and provoked him.
“Princess Descartes. What have you led so far? I was also at the imperial party, and as I watched, it seemed like Jean Barenberg was leading the whole thing. “If this isn’t a doll, what is it?”
It was true to some extent. So far France has done only what she can and I have planned most of it. He was able to do what he did because he did it on the plan that I had laid out.
France must have known this as well, biting his lower lip and lowering his head. This is making me angry too.
“Celdas Freya.”
“What is it?”
“Please don’t be any more presumptuous.”
“… Don’t go off topic?”
I opened my eyes shallowly and spewed out my desire to kill. I flinch. Seldas’ body stiffened in an instant.
“What on earth are you thinking? “Didn’t we have a friendly relationship?”
“Apart from being friendly, it means knowing the topic.”
I can’t stand by and watch our France being ignored like this.
“Okay. This time I made a mistake…….”
At that time, Seldas was about to bend and enter.
“No.”
France hung up in a sharp voice.
“… What?”
“I think I should talk about this myself.”
The two people in front of me made eye contact. It strangely feels like an electric current is flowing. Is it because of my mood?
“It’s true that Jin took charge of everything. But I can’t admit that I just moved like a doll.”
Actually, it moved like a doll. It’s a learning process, so it’s a problem that will get better later.
“Well. “Isn’t it the princess’s opinion that she didn’t move like a doll?”
Huh, France pursed her lips. She’s upset, but she can’t refute it. This anger must have reached Seldas as well, and she bent her posture.
“Well, I also spoke harshly, so let me apologize. Even if Jeanne Barenberg took the lead, it doesn’t mean the princess didn’t do anything.”
What kind of conversation is this, other than giving a bottle or medicine? If that was going to happen, you shouldn’t have provoked me a long time ago.
“Anyway. Let’s leave this conversation here. “You came here because of Frida’s problem, right?”
France nodded his head. Since she didn’t respond verbally, it seems like her anger hasn’t gone away yet.
“Frida was watching from before. “She did that, so it’s strange that she doesn’t move.”
Seldas smiled darkly and continued.
“It looks like the imperial party was convinced and entrusted the request to the dark guild.”
But it wasn’t a mercenary group, but a dark guild. You must be quite angry. France asked.
“Where did you put the request?”
“It’s a group called Zenbukoros.”
“Hmm… ….”
Zenbukoros. The second strongest guild among the empire’s dark guilds. Unlike Exceed, this is a group focused on military force.
“I don’t want to go head-to-head with them. “I can only tell you how they move and what their purpose is.”
Well, it would be a huge loss to fight against them, even if they are Seldas. Well, it doesn’t matter because I can move it myself. France nodded as if she knew him too.
“But it doesn’t matter. Because there is Jin. All you have to do is provide information and protect the store and workplace.”
The corner of Seldas’ mouth visible under his mask twitched. For some reason, it seems like we’re following that bastard’s will.
“That’s good news.”
He says that and smiles again. I’m slowly losing my luck.
“Then, I will report the news as soon as I get the information. Is the work over now?”
“There is one more left. “This is a pretty important task, so I’d like to leave it to you guys.”
Seldas, doubtful, shook his head.
“What is it again this time?”
“I want to plant a spy in Frida.”
“Spy?”
“Okay. “To make them come over to us.”
Talk. Talk. Seldas tapped his desk as if he was lost in thought.
“Indeed. Did you even come up with such a plan? Do you have a grudge against Frida?”
“Rather than resentment, I pursue honesty. Because they are not normal tops.”
Yes, judgment must be passed on unscrupulous companies. They are people who have enriched their wallets by exploiting people.
“Okay. The request is not accepted. Now that we know the purpose, the spy will proceed on our own. And I will let you know if I see any movement of Zenbukoros.”
Okay, the first objective is over.
But should this side focus on defense? I learned from a novel that the best defense is offense.
‘It would be better to just destroy Zenbukoros itself.’
Zenbukoros is a military group that manages the surrounding area starting from the Imperial Capital. They are quite a nuisance in the game, so I have experience eliminating them myself.
‘I know the location and the leader, so it would be better to sort it out quickly.’
It’s just a guess, but they may have already completed their plans and prepared to attack our stores and workshops.
Before that, we have to attack first. Leave the other work to Seldas.
“Is this the end of the business?”
France looked up at me after hearing Seldas’ words. I nodded slightly.
“Okay, this is the end. “I hope you do well with what I ask you to do.”
France got up from the sofa and headed for the door. Just as she was about to turn the doorknob, she looked back and said,
“Ah, I still have something left to say.”
“What is it again this time?”
“We agreed to give 10% of the profits.”
“Oh, you mean that? “It doesn’t matter if you give it slowly.”
Hmm? I thought I would receive it right away, but I was surprised.
“After all, this is not the end of working with the princess.”
That is correct. Because there is a mountain of work to do in the future.
“Then I’ll just go. “Send a check as soon as you receive the net proceeds.”
With these last words, we left the bar. France sighed upward. Her bangs fluttered in the wind from her mouth.
“It’s a shame I couldn’t suppress that man’s nose.”
It’s like a squirrel getting angry because its acorns were taken away. I said with a grin.
“Because he is that kind of guy. “You don’t need to worry too much.”
“Still, I can’t help but feel angry. “I thought you would never ignore me again.”
That’s because it’s still the first stage of the curriculum. Don’t worry, things will change a lot later.
“Isn’t this just the beginning? “It’s not good to be too impatient.”
Franze pursed her lips and frowned, as if my consolation did not ease her anger. Seldas definitely came out too strong. Even though he’s that kind of guy to begin with.
“Anyway. “We have something important to talk about, so let’s go to Kazar’s house.”
France tilted her head.
“Khazar house? Are you going to get medicine?
“That’s true, but I have something to talk about regarding this matter.”
“That’s right. Because he should know about this too. “Let’s go and talk slowly.”
* * *
“… “Why has my house turned into a strategy room?”
Kazar asked with a dumbfounded look on his face. In his hand was a tray with a teacup on it.
“Actually, it’s the house I rented.”
“That’s true, but… ….”
Ha, Ka-Zar sighed and shook his head.
“So? “What brought you here?”
“The dark guild will attack us.”
“Yes? Are you a dark guild? Why?”
Kazar’s head tilted to the side and his eyebrows furrowed. Dark guilds do not touch nobles for any amount of money. If Jen Bucoros moves, he must have invested a lot of money.
France spoke while holding a teacup. Looking at the little finger stretched out, it seems to be the trait of a noble lady.
“You brought all of Frida’s key personnel back then, right? “It’s revenge for that.”
Kazar slowly lowers his head. After saying, “Indeed,” He continued.
“You want to entrust me with a defense mission?”
As expected, you are quick-witted.
“Okay. “It’s more reassuring to have a wizard like you.”
France’s trained tongue. She was thinking of persuading me by even praising her. Well, even if I didn’t do that, I would have helped.
“Okay. “I have an appointment, so I will do it.”
“Well thought out.”
“So, what should I do?”
“You can go there as soon as the information comes in.”
“Do we really have to fight?”
“That’s right.”
Kazar hates the word ‘fight’. No, in the County, the guy who tried to assassinate is doing that for nothing more than fighting?
“There’s nothing we can do, right? “I will do it.”
“Thank goodness. Because you are to us.”
“… “Is there nothing to praise you for?”
Unlike words, the corners of the mouth twitch. Are you weak to praise? Seeing how well he trains Ka-Jar, France is also amazing.
Anyway. Everything we need to talk about is over. I guess I can say it at this point.
“Princess, I have something to tell you.”
France, who was holding a teacup, stared at me.
“Huh? What?”
I told France about the plan I had made. The contents were like this.
He even went so far as to single-handedly destroy the group called Zenbukoros and spread this rumor so that no other group could ever touch it again. Everyone talked.
“… “Isn’t it too dangerous, even for you?”
“There is no danger to me.”
In the history books of Barenberg that I have seen, the existence of Jin alone was enough to keep the country in check. It sounds like a moving disaster.
Even when I played as Somire, I could easily beat them, so there’s no way I wouldn’t be able to do that with this body. It will be devastated in one day.
“Okay. I’ll allow it. But you shouldn’t overdo it, right? “Because it’s in bad condition.”
I smiled and nodded.
“I know.”
“Oh, and I have to get medicine from Kazar.”
Kazar looked dumbfounded at France’s words.

“Medicine?”
“Yes. Jin said you made the medicine?”
“Me?”
“… Wasn’t it?”
I shot Kazar a sharp look. As if he had finally realized it, he began to match his words.
“Oh, that’s right. I was so distracted that I forgot! “I’ll get it right away!”
Kazar hurriedly goes upstairs. You say it’s medicine, but what are you trying to convey?
“I brought it!”
Kazar handed me a glass bottle. Inside… ….
There were various star candies in it. France saw this and narrowed her eyebrows.
“Isn’t that just star candy?”
“No? “It just looks like a star candy.”
“… Okay?”
The eyes of suspicion never cease. This is where you can be quick-witted.
“I made it in the shape of a star candy because I was afraid it would be hard to eat if it turned out too weird. “It tastes a bit bitter!”
Kazar casually passes this off as a lie. Speaking with a bright smile is not something you’ve done once or twice.
“So? In that case, well…….”
Fortunately, I seem to have been convinced.
“Then I will come back quickly.”
“Oh, take this.”
France handed over a check.
“I have to ride a horse, right?”
“Ah, thank you.”
France smiled and patted my shoulder. The smile was mixed with some concern.
“We have to be careful?”
“I know.”
“… Okay. Bye.”
I bowed my head and left the house immediately. Then he went to the bank, took out money by check, and even borrowed a horse from the stable. Preparations are complete.
“Let’s go.”
A thought suddenly occurred to me as I was stroking the gentle neck of a horse with my hand.
‘But I don’t know how to ride a horse?’
What should I do with this?
