71. Newbie Cutter
The sun set in the sky.
All the nobles who visited the store left, and the empress who came to entrust the custom production also returned.
“Whoa…….”
France stretches her body like melted ice cream. He has suffered a lot.
‘If Frida’s manpower comes over, the work will be reduced.’
Well, this is a problem that will be resolved over time, so let’s move on. I slowly approached France.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
France was startled by my voice and looked towards me.
“Huh? “When did you come?”
“It arrived quickly.”
“Did you receive good treatment?”
“Of course.”
I naturally took the seat next to France.
“I’m very busy. “It will continue to be like this.”
“Okay. “I wish I had time to rest.”
Ha, France sighs loudly and shakes his head. His shoulders are slumped.
“It will be easier if you get things done at Exceed. “The princess will only deal with the royal family and important people.”
Originally, in business, the boss moves only at the beginning, and later on, employees, part-time workers, and managers are used.
This is something that cannot be helped since we are in the first stage of starting.
“I hope you do it quickly. “If Frida’s workforce comes in, won’t we be able to not only monopolize luxury goods but also expand branches?”
Now that you have done some business, you are starting to smell money.
“That’s right. If we develop the Maseok business from here, the plan is complete. When that time comes, princess, you can do whatever you want.”
The moment I finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became cold. A flow of magical power was felt, and a black fog rose around France.
‘Did I stimulate my emotions again?’
I never thought a change in emotions would happen like this. France looked at her ceiling and quenched her appetite.
“Well, that’s what I want to do. It’s already been decided. “Living so well that the Descartes family regrets it.”
France stared at me, saying, “And.”
“To somehow cure your illness so that you can continue to be with me. “These two are my goals.”
Hmm, it’s a bit burdensome. You keep feeling reluctant to run away.
“… I see. “It’s a good goal.”
I had no choice but to agree. How can I say that I’m going to run out and open a chicken restaurant as soon as this is over…….
“So I guess I should focus on business now, right?”
“But before that, Exceed has to complete the job.”
France grinned and closed her eyes to relax. Let’s start talking about it in earnest.
“Princess, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
France, who was exhausted and sobbing, raised her head and looked at me.
“I’m thinking of going to look for talent.”
“Talent?”
“Yes.”
“Are you talking about the secretary?”
“No. “This is my assistant.”
Jump up. France lifted herself up to her waist and opened her eyes wide.
“Do you need assistance?”
“You need someone other than me to protect the princess, right?”
“I’m a full-fledged wizard now, right?”
Although she is now able to protect her own body, the purpose of bringing him back is actually different.
“Princess, do you remember the last time I destroyed Zenbukoros?”
“I remember. Because it hasn’t been that long. But why is that?”
“We need someone to take care of such dirty work.”
Only then did France lower his head and say, “Aha.”
“In the future, as the princess’s power becomes stronger and her influence increases, many things like before will happen. “It’s about preparing for that.”
It’s an additional reason, not the ultimate reason, but I didn’t say anything wrong.
“How long do you think it will take?”
“It’s only a week at most. “I think I’ll be back before then.”
“It’s taking a little long. Are you going far?”
“No, because the opponent is the opponent.”
France muttered, “Who on earth do you want to pick up?” And had doubts, but permission was granted.
“Okay, then I’ll ask you a favor.”
“Yes. And I hope you’ll have hired a secretary when I get back.”
“Secretary? Yeah, I get it. “There was also someone who put a dot on it.”
Who made the dot? It’s not for nothing that strange people are attracted to it, right? I asked cautiously.
“… “Do you mind if I hear who the target is?”
“Viscount Elvan. “He is a person with outstanding office skills.”
Viscount Elvan? First of all, seeing as I’ve never heard of it, it’s clear that it’s an extra. I wish I could find out more about it before hiring him as my secretary…….
‘This is too overprotective.’
Because you have to be able to do well without me. For now, I just trust her and leave it to her.
“Then I understand that you have given me permission to go out.”
As she smiled and lowered her head, France didn’t seem particularly worried.
“Okay, I believe you will do well and come back.”
Now, there is no doubt that I will break the slave imprint and run away. It probably means that you have gained that much trust.
But because I was planning to break this trust one day, I had mixed feelings.

“… “I’ll be back.”

Drink at a bar located in the eastern part of the empire.
It is said that there is always a storyteller here.
“Let me tell you today’s story.”
I quietly sipped my beer and focused on the sound of his words. The others were also drunk and listened to his voice in a dazed mood.
“In the eastern part of this empire full of demonic beasts, there was a man.”
First of all, it is very boring from the beginning.
“His second name is a white ghost that calls for blood!”
Even tinnitus is childish. Well, I knew it originally.
“Someone said, isn’t it a childish name?”
What is it? I think you heard my feelings. Feeling stung for no reason, I sipped my beer and glanced at him.
“But no one who saw him would ever deny that name. “Why?”
Thump, thump! Suddenly there was a knock on the barrel below. Did you add that as an effect?
“Because the place where he passed was filled with only the smell of blood! Oh, by the way, I have white hair, so I’m a white ghost!”
This is the same as the introduction from the game. His name is,
“White ghost, Kale! “He is also called the Mercenary King!”
This is the newbie cutter I was looking for.
The people in the bar shouted, excited by the extremely funny story.
“Hey, Mr. “Are you talking about that again?”
“Who doesn’t know that!”
“Is that the only story you know?”
“Where can I go to get money!”
Not countless handshakes, but criticism. From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like this was the first time that topic had been brought up.
‘This is definitely the place.’
Drur. I got up from my seat. I immediately finished the calculation and put on my shabby robe.
“… ….”
I looked around. Compared to the duchy or the imperial capital, it is a very shabby area. I guess it’s difficult to manage because it’s in the eastern end, which is full of demonic beasts.
Well, anyway.
‘It would be better to start by looking around the mercenary guild.’
I walked straight to the guild and entered.
―How long until the wave of disaster?
―There isn’t much left.
―Do you have a mission now?
―Sure, would you like to have a drink tonight?
The sound of chattering. It’s like raw raw meat. I slowly headed to the reception desk.
Jeobbuk. Jeez. Every time I took a step, eyes focused on me.
―… This is your first time seeing this guy?
―Are you a new employee?
―Something seems suspicious.
―I’ll give it a try.
It seemed like something quite troublesome would happen, so I immediately turned my back and radiated fear.
Wow!
The guild became cold in an instant. Everyone in this room flinched and stopped moving.
Static. The indescribable silence turns into tension.
“It’s finally quieter.”
I tried to tone down my voice and show off. You often see things like this in comics, right?
“Hmm.”
The work to be done is done. I walked to the reception desk.
“Hey.”
“Hey, hey!”
The lady at the reception even hiccuped and shivered.
…… Was it too much?
“Reception is… Don’t you accept it?”
I felt sorry for some reason, so I spoke carefully. Still, the receptionist was shaking.
“Well, I don’t have any work right now…” ….”
“No, I came because I wanted to entrust you with some work.”
“You want to entrust me with the work…” ?”
“Okay. “I’m looking for someone.”
Jaw. I put up 10,000 won. This should be enough compensation. Because the bar snack price is 140 won.
“Who are you looking for?” ?”
“The one called the White Ghost, Kale.”
“… ….”
No answer came back. There was so much silence that you could even hear the sound of insects moving.
“Did I say something I shouldn’t have said?”
“Oh, no. That’s not it…….”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“That…” ….”
Jaw. Suddenly a hand came onto my shoulder. A size that cannot be considered a normal human hand. Yes, these hands just remind me of bear paws.
“Looking for the arrogant mercenary king? This bastard… ….”
I grabbed the hand on my shoulder and turned it around. Bang! It spun around three times and then fell to the floor of the guild.
“Uh… ?”
I looked down at an unknown figure.
“Don’t put your hand on my shoulder carelessly.”
What he was feeling right now was clearly revealed in the big man’s eyes. Doubts and fears. I asked the receptionist again.
“Where is the kale?”
* * *
Sgak! As the sword passes by, the beast’s neck splits like tofu. Blood splattered here and there along with a crunching sound.
“Whoa.”
Kale swung her sword without stopping. Huh! A pure white light appeared and a sharp sword struck.
“When I get back, I’ll cool down with some meat and a cold beer.”
There are red puddles everywhere. Red dew dripped from the tip of the sword, and the fishy smell of blood, unique to a demonic beast, pierced the tip of my nose.
“The request is over, so I guess I should go back.”
Stroke. Swinging her sword, she slashed away the sticky blood. After completing her preparations for her return, Cale planned to activate her aura and run, but…….
“Is it kale?”
I heard a voice from behind.
“… !”
Kale hurriedly distanced himself and went into alert mode. She felt no presence at all.
“I guess it’s Cale because she has white hair and looks like a gisaeng brother.”
There was no sound or presence in her steps, and the shabby robe covered her face, making it impossible to identify who she was. There is a suspicious smell.
“If I don’t notice, it means he’s not an ordinary guy.”
Chi Ik. She drags her feet on the ground, ready to jump at any moment. He grips the hilt of her sword hard and her eyes widen.
“Where does this guy come from? “Why did he come to me?”
Jeobbuk. Jeez. The man approached slowly. The distance is getting closer and closer. Access beyond this should not be permitted.
“If you don’t answer for the count of three, I will hit you.”
Three, two, one… ….
Evil! The man appeared before my eyes at an invisible speed. Kale swung her sword reflexively.
“Hmph!”
Whoa! A huge wind pressure occurred, causing tree branches to shake and leaves to fly away.
“What if I swing my sword recklessly?”
Cale raised the nerves of her entire body and swung her sword again. A diagonal slash containing the maximum amount of refined aura. However… ….
“What?!”
Click! Her sword broke. That too, very simply.
“What on earth…?” !”
Breaking a sword filled with deep auras with the blade of her hand? Nonsense. Cale was deeply confused.
‘Who the hell is it?’
Commander of the Imperial Knights? Marquis of Fryden? Looking at their appearance, they are not these two. Cale’s eyes wavered as he couldn’t guess.
“I came to get you, Cale.”
“… What? No, more than that, who are you?”
“It’s Gene Barenberg.”
Kale’s eyes widened. Why is that rumored monster here? Many questions arose, but these were not important right now.
“What are you going to do by taking me away?”
“There is someone you must serve.”
Is that what you mean by coming and doing it all of a sudden? Cale was so embarrassed that he burst into laughter.
“It’s funny that you’re the one I’m going to serve. “The mercenary king does not fall under anyone.”
Jin tilted her head with her eyebrows furrowed.
“What? “You do everything as long as you give me money.”
Kale’s brow twitched.
“… “Are you looking at me like a whore now?”
“Huh? “Isn’t that what it is?”
“Huh, that’s funny. “You look at me like a whore.”
“Oh, wouldn’t you do anything if you gave me money…? ?”
Taaat! The distance widened in an instant. Woe! A dark red aura flickered and enveloped Kale’s body.
“You insult me, I can’t just ignore this. Jean Barenberg. I’ve heard the rumors well. “I wondered how strong you were.”
Cale laughed and clapped her hands. A provocation to come in first.
“I am Kayle, born at the edge of the East and living by the sword. “It has the nickname White Ghost.”
He cringed for a moment when he heard the name Gene Barenberg, but Cale could not bear the insult. No matter how strong he is, shouldn’t he take care of his honor?
“Mercenaries prove their strength through strength. Try to convince me. Then I will listen to you.”
Ha, Jin frowned and sighed loudly. A truly annoyed expression.
“Ah, the game settings clearly say that you can do anything as long as you give money. “It’s become a nuisance.”
The moment Jin finished speaking.
“… !”
Kale’s vision went dark.
