Episode 45. Once a mercenary, always a mercenary

“Circle 3?”

Gerius asks in surprise.

They don’t know that I’m a 7th circle wizard who doesn’t even know the 3rd circle.

“I’m going crazy with curiosity. “I can’t sleep just thinking about magic!”

It reminded me of a web novel I read on Earth.

If you are hit by a cutting magic attack, the internal injuries are deep.

That’s what magic is like now.

“ha ha ha. So did I. Endless curiosity about magic! “That’s the magic.”

“Isn’t it addiction, not attraction?”

“Why are you wondering about a formula you can’t even use? “I would rather use that time to practice swordsmanship.”

Gerius’ voice was filled with sincerity.

If I leave here, I don’t think I’ll get another chance.

A lie is necessary.

If you tell the truth about your current situation, you will scratch your pride as a wizard.

“If I know this, I will have no regrets even if I die. older brother! “Please save this little brother!”

I also don’t feel comfortable telling lies.

Gerius is looking at you intently.

I grin.

done!

“If you’re that desperate, I’ll teach you.”

“Really?”

“Originally, 3rd circle magic cannot be passed on to others. “If it becomes known, I will also be punished.”

“If it’s that dangerous…” … .”

“Okay. My only brother wants it so much, so I’ll tell you. “What should I teach you today?”

ah! I’m about to cry.

I wonder if such a good person still exists in the world.

Today’s favor will be repaid many times over.

Nothing is free in my life.

“Please teach me the fire-type magic that you used to defeat the ogre.”

“From the 3rd circle, the mana usage is several times higher than the 2nd circle. “If you use it too much, the aftereffects are unimaginable.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Gerius’ sincere advice.

He answered bravely.

I shouted inside.

brother! Just let me know.

I’m a 7th circle wizard!

“The formula is slightly different starting from Circle 3.”

“is it so?”

“Seniors measured countless times. There is a measurement formula for each magic tower or magic school. “It’s like a magic fingerprint.”

“ah!”

“If you pass this magic on to others… … “It can become known to our magic tower.”

“I will keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life.”

“Don’t believe it.”

Dear Gerius.

“Fire-type magic is the most effective large-range magic… … .”

And then the magic lecture began.

“okay… … .”

I nodded and learned it quickly.

Gerius generously shares his mathematical know-how.

In this way, we developed a warm brotherly bond.

So strong that no other brother in the world envies it.

The next morning.

Because of training late at night, I woke up later than other days.

Zeuter and Phil are stacking their plates and eating their breakfast.

“I heard the breakfast special here is really killer. “You too, Phil?”

“huh… … ? uh! Yes, me too!”

“I usually eat breakfast, but whenever I come here, it’s basically 3 servings. “It’s really the best, the best!”

Zeuter raises his voice toward the kitchen while talking to Phil.

Phil noticed and agreed.

My hands and feet worked well together.

No matter how bad it is, Zeuter eats three servings of breakfast every day.

It seems like an obvious tactic.

Another ploy to inflict trauma.

I don’t understand how people were taken advantage of by such an obvious move.

“Zeuter, are you eating a lot this morning too?”

I intervened without blinking.

“!!!”

Zeuter is startled.

The enlarged pupils are worth seeing.

He raised his finger to his mouth and signaled to be quiet.

I just ignored it.

Time to get revenge for the jokes that have been thrown around.

No need to use my hands.

“Eat in moderation. As a mercenary, physical strength is important, but you can’t be hungry. “There are a lot of credit bills everywhere, so even if I die, I have to pay it all back.”

Confirmed kill entered.

I raised my voice and looked towards the kitchen.

“W-what do you mean! “When did you say I ate a lot for breakfast?”

Zeuter was embarrassed and once again pretended to cover his mouth with his finger.

It’s impossible.

Thrilling revenge for teasing me all this time!

“I guess I have no appetite today. I usually eat 5 servings in the morning… … . “I guess the food at this place isn’t that good.”

Zeuter’s face becomes increasingly contemplative.

Uddangtang!

I hear something breaking in the kitchen.

“Jiiyin! Why are you like this this morning? “I told all the lies I didn’t know before!”

Zeuter having a seizure.

But the situation is already over.

“Jin. Let’s eat. “There is a long way to go.”

Gerius joined in with a smile.

The desired goal was achieved.

“Here’s breakfast for two!”

I shouted loudly towards the kitchen where hot fire was gushing out.

Looking forward to what will unfold after the meal.

That’s how the meal ended.

and.

“You have to pay for the credit! “It’s 2 gold, 2 silver, and 4 ruden, including the tasteless breakfast, dinner, and alcohol.”

The owner appeared.

I looked at Zeuter like a devil.

“Huh!”

Zeuter turns pale and is surprised.

Where can a mercenary who drinks alcohol for as long as he makes money have money?

“As a former mercenary, I will use my generosity and give you 4 Luden.”

“Chi, friend, why are you doing this? Once a mercenary, always a mercenary! “Since when did our relationship become such that we would blush over two gold coins?”

“Stop making orc poop sounds and give it to me.”

“It’s difficult right now. “The next time I take on a commission, I will immediately repay my friend’s money.”

Zeuter was very shameless.

I tried to hit him like an eternal mercenary.

The cold aura and smile on the restaurant owner’s face.

“okay? You can’t do it if you don’t have money! Guys!”

“yes! older brother!”

Three sturdy young men entered the restaurant with a loud answer.

“The customer has no money. Take care of it yourself!”

The owner turned his back on Zeuter, who was lost in thought, and went into the kitchen.

“yes! older brother!”

Crunchy.

The young men broke their fingers and made a crunching sound as they approached Zeuter.

and.

“stop! Oh, why are you taking your clothes off! They give me money! “You can give it to me!”

The moment the leather armor comes off and the red underwear is revealed.

Zeuter struggled and shouted.

A situation where dozens of customers in the restaurant were all looking at Zeuter.

“Puhahahaha!”

“Isn’t that women’s underwear?”

“I heard you’re a mid-level mercenary. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Even a mercenary with a steel face would feel shame.

“You’re giving me money?”

The owner appeared again, as if he had been waiting for Zeuter’s surrender.

A script that is written and played.

“Since when have people in the mercenary world been like this! It’s dirty and disgusting! receive! “Take it!!!”

Zeuter took out his emergency fund.

1 golden from a dirty leather shoe, 1 golden from the deep corner of your pants.

“No need to take it off anymore! “Take a boat!”

Zeuter lay down on the floor with his stomach out.

In the meantime, I quickly packed up my underwear.

The owner takes the money and smiles happily.

“Make sure to pay back the 2 silver next time. Once a mercenary, always a mercenary friend. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

He is like Zeuter’s friend.

After paying their due, the group left the inn.

Zeuter, with his big mouth, doesn’t even look at me.

The price of teasing has been appropriately calculated.

Taktaktak.

We started our journey back to the capital.

Autumn is getting deeper and deeper.

Hehehe.

The chilly wind blowing from the north bit into my collar.

“Ugh, it’s cold. “Isn’t winter already here?”

Zeuter fastening his collar.

I also adjusted my cloak.

The further north I go, the heavier my heart becomes.

To the Kaishar Empire.

There’s an unknown fate waiting for me… … .

It was certain.
