Chapter 145 – Red Fox Mercenaries
The room where Seojun stays-.
It was a place I chose because the story could leak out.
I could see Ian, Lily, and Monica through the window.
The three of them, who were relaxing in the empty lot behind the inn, glanced around the second floor and met Seo-joon’s eyes, then turned their heads with shy smiles.
He seemed very curious about how the story between Seojun and Marjorie would go.
“Hans? Why are you here…”
“Ah, that, that’s…”
There was one more person in Seo-jun’s room besides him and Marjorie.
The youngest member of the red fox mercenary, Hans, who was standing by the window and secretly watching the two of them, met Marjorie and his eyes. Eventually, the three of them talked.
When Margery asked why you were here- Hans couldn’t bear to say that he was watching Seo-jun, so he rolled his eyes and tried to formulate an answer.
“Geu, nu, I want to see you…”
Is that what you came up with?
Tsk- Seo-joon clicked his tongue, but Marjorie said, “That’s right,” And gently stroked the guy’s head with a laughing flag attached to it.
The man named Hans had his mouth torn to his ears.
I wondered if that chewing gum would be that good.
Seo-joon turned his eyes from looking out the window back to the two of them.
Margery was choosing what to say to him, as if the barrage of affection she had been showering on the cutie youngest child had ended.
“Yeah, Seo Jun-ah. Really can’t it? I want to take everyone… If those guys are so jealous that they only take the youngest, there will be a real uproar.”
“Yes? Me, just me…? Are you taking me alone? Where are you?”
From the point of view of a guy who has no idea what happened between Seo-joon and Marjorie, you might wonder what this means.
Margery rubbed his fingers and gave a pitiful look, but Seo-jun shook his head resolutely.
“Your sister can’t trust me completely either. So are we. To turn each other’s backs, the power has to boil to some extent. Otherwise, someone will be greedy-.”
Seojun’s words made a lot of sense.
If you succeed in attacking the demon, you will be able to get your hands on a formidable reputation as well as a sudden drop in money.
If successful, the by-products and glory will be split in half between the two mercenaries, but if one mercenary disappears in the process…?
The one who survives will have everything to themselves.
Hani and Seojun’s concerns were natural.
As it is a new mercenary unit, it will be a bit of a burden to take Marjorie’s mercenaries one after another.
However, Marjorie has yet to fully understand Seo-joon’s intentions.
First of all, because of the mana breathing method, I didn’t ask or argue and I said okay, but it was questionable whether Seo-joon would really teach it.
No matter how loudly Seo-joon said that she would guarantee it, it was her choice in the end to believe it. The cost of her choices as well.
However, if Seo-joon’s words are true, even if it’s just one chance-. In order to pay the price, you will have to do your best to teach Monica.
If nothing is getting better, Seo-jun could have withheld her choice. As I said before – it might be said that Hodor the Hammer was taken with him.
In fact, all of those things, whether it was the fortune or fame that fell from the demon cave, were new blood compared to the mana breathing method.
You could give them all away if you wanted to. If only I could get the mana breathing method…
From Honey Marjorie’s point of view, there was no reason to refuse. Even allowing him to take only one person is a huge concession on his part.
Marjorie shook her head.
Convincing the other guys will be very difficult.
She’s the kind of guy who doesn’t like to be away from her even for an hour.
At least, her morning sleep is too much for a lot of guys, so it’s just that she has time for herself. At other times, they were the ones who followed me even in front of the toilet.
I don’t know how long this request will take.
According to Seo-jun, he said that he would probably have to catch more than 15 days.
If you don’t tell them clearly, they will follow you even secretly. He expressed his concern to Seo-joon.
“Hmm… That would definitely be a problem.”
At Seo-jun’s words, Marjory felt ashamed for nothing. The fact that he couldn’t control his mercenary corps on his own was because it literally meant the absence of leadership.
Seo-joon, who was standing with his back by the window and looking out, opened his mouth after a moment of silence.
“Then let’s try acting.”
A series of plans flowed from Seo-joon’s mouth.
Not only Margery, but also Hans, the youngest next to him, opened his mouth wide.
The way Seo-joon came up with was certainly plausible.
The thought of having to fool my ass pricked his chest a little, but I couldn’t think of any other way.
I’m sorry, kids…
She was the one who apologized in advance.
&
After leaving the inn, Margery first had to explain everything to his youngest son, Hans.
Wouldn’t it be better to hide the mana breathing method- I wondered, but Seo-jun said that it would be better to tell one person openly.
That way, after all the work is done-. He said it would be easier to explain to the other guys.
Marjorie agreed to that part.
So, I recited the whole story to Hans one by one.
“Eh, you teach me how to breathe mana? Me, that guy?”
“···Huh.”
Hans closed his wide-open mouth with his hand and shook his head.
Yes, Marjorie is a woman who values her loyalty-,
Nonetheless, hiding something from us was all for good reason.
Isn’t that what mana breathing is? It was something that everyone could see.
Not to mention that he would explain the truth once the work was over— Hans refuted himself for doubting Marjorie for a moment.
Hans was suspicious that Marjorie had feelings for that handsome bastard…
It was fortunate that it wasn’t like that. If she had feelings for Seo-joon-, his chest might have been torn from the pain.
“So you’re saying that guy knows how to handle mana?”
“I think maybe. You won’t lie to me right away.”
A very young guy, and a tall guy with a handsome face. She doesn’t even know how to handle mana… I thought life was unfair.
But that wasn’t what really mattered.
“Yeah, but sister. What about the seniors…?”
“…It can’t be helped. Just this once.”
Hans was the flagship.
Seniors never-. I won’t let her go just like that.
Regardless of the means and methods, I will follow my sister.
He wouldn’t hesitate to bleed in the process.
My sister… I had no idea what kind of people my seniors were, how tenacious and sometimes cruel they were.
Even if he was naive, he was too naive. I don’t have eyes for people, so I was scammed like that…
Her marjorie has always been victimized by her swindlers who try to eat her off her back.
She was hit on the back of the head because of Margery, who lives and dies for her loyalty, and even the request of her, who did not receive a single penny, crossed her ten fingers.
Well, that’s another charm, but in most cases it’s been a downside.
It is probably impossible to deceive seniors.
“Help me, Hans, I-. You know it’s wrong to lie. Huh?”
Marjorie grabs Hans by the front and looks up with sorrowful eyes.
If so… There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t help but nod her head.
Hans, dizzy from the smell of Margery’s dark flesh, grabbed her shoulders before letting her bottom bulge.
“Then···. I’ll tell the seniors, so please stay as still as possible. Did you know…?”
“`
Tough Stag Inn -.
Upon returning to the inn, Marjorie and Hans immediately called the men over and started talking.
He tried to pay for the bet with money, but Seo-jun refused to accept it, and in return, he decided to become a swordsman teacher for a girl named Monica-.
It was Hans who spoke mostly, and Marjorie crossed her arms and nodded her head or hummed and choked her.
I didn’t talk about the demon cave or the mana breathing method.
It wasn’t meant to be hidden forever.
It wasn’t going to turn south at all – at least until I went to the demon cave, after that, after learning mana breathing, I was thinking of telling the truth.
With that thought, Margery nibbled on the inside of her cheek, trying not to show it.
“…Then sister, you’re going to teach that blond bitch from now on? For six days? Are you stuck?”
However, it was scary to explain, and the harsh words came out.
Startled—her shoulders trembled—she answered, mumbling “Yes”—And shook her head.
“…”
The men looked at each other’s faces.
It seemed like he was hiding something. I could feel her apologizing with her whole body-.
The men looked like they had a lot to ask, but Margery was looking at her with his green eyes rolling here and there – he swallowed his words for a moment.
But in the end, a man couldn’t stand it and asked.
“Then how about lodging? You’re not going to solve it there, are you?”
“I-I’m sorry.”
Marjorie hesitated to apologize and rubbed her index fingers together.
The men who would normally have been imprisoned at the scene saying they were cute, now trembled as if they were in great shock. To leave us alone and go to sleep there…!
But her eldest brother and first-born man sniffed at her, then shrugged her shoulders and opened his mouth.
“Well, I can’t help it. If that’s the content of the bet, you should follow-. A silver shield mercenary has face, and you can’t just ignore it.”
A blush appeared on Marjorie’s face.
However, the first one immediately added words.
“Then we should get a room over there. I am the youngest.”
“Yes! I’ve already got it, including my sister’s room!”
Hans jumped up and shouted.
The military discipline is very tight-caught-. Eleven men who let out a satisfied smile at that appearance.
A cold sweat broke out on Marjorie’s back.
Just like Seo-jun said, it didn’t seem like it would be solved that easily.
Marjorie glared at Hans with clear eyes.
He said he was stabbed in the back of his foot by an ax, but he stopped.
Hans felt the look in her eyes and shuddered, but she pretended not to know.
That day, the red fox mercenaries moved their quarters for the first time. From the ‘Rough Deer Inn’, which is said to be the cheapest and good value for money, to the ‘Rose Candle Inn’, which is a bit expensive but has good food and is clean-.
It was a part where various waves were expected in many ways.
In many ways…
