Chapter 191 – Gathering rcenaries
I looked at Rihanna and opened my mouth.
「Will it be easy to gather rcenaries in this place? Sherry, Dan, Anri, use flight magic and bring the leader Somasa of silver march here.」
When I said so, Sherry looked at apologetically.
「I-I’m sorry but I can only cast flight magic on myself…」
When Sherry said that, I handed her one magic item.
「Use this. It is possible to carry 10 individuals using this.」
I told that to Sherry while pointing the sage wand. Sherry nodded with a smile.
「After this, let’s gather rcenaries here. The more people we have, the easier it is to find Hastur. It is a ga of numbers.」
When I said that while looking at everybody, everyone replied.
I am quite satisfied since I manage to make my first step for the boss hunt. Keira looked at and opened her mouth.
「Many rcenaries in the neighborhood are monitoring the developnt of the war. If it’s and Attarate, we can speak with most of the rcenary groups in 3 hours.」
「Fue!?」
After Keira proposed that, Ataratte raised a strange voice and looked at Keira.
In the previous information gathering, Ataratte had gathered as much information as Keira but it seems like negotiating with rcenaries is a different story.
It seems like that is beyond the ability of a scout.
「No, you can go with everyone, Ataratte.」
When I looked at Ataratte and said that, she knitted her eyebrows, looked at Keira then looked at .
「I-I’ll do it! I’ll gather more rcenaries than Keira!」
「O, ohh…is that so?」
When Ataratte declared that full of spirit, I replied in spite of confusion.
And, the two of them quickly went outside the shop.
I went to see them off. I looked at Rihanna and opened my mouth after that.
「…is it unusual for Keira to be competitive?」
Upon hearing that, Rihanna widened her eyes and nodded.
「Th-that’s right…she probably recognized Ataratte-sama’s ability.」
When Rihanna and I are having such a conversation, Brunhilde looked at ldia and opened her mouth.
「Never thought that Ataratte will be this much excited. 」
「She’s pretty conscious of Keira-san. 」
Apparently, Ataratte is also burning with sense of rivalry against Keira.
「Maa, at least they are not fighting. 」
When I concluded so, I decided to order more drinks.
Three hours later.
Keira and Ataratte brought a big group of ossan that occupied most seats in the bar.
「…Sand Castle rcenary group. They are all the rcenary groups we gathered. 」
Keira said so and bowed before .
Looking at it, there are about 100 stern n queued up.
Yes, in only three hours.
In that amount of ti, Keira and Ataratte gathered more than 50 rcenaries together.
TN: Ren said 100 as a first impression estimate.
「…these two are monsters. 」
When I said that with half amazent, Ataratte glared Keira with vexation.
「…I got 20. 」
When Ataratte said so, Keira nodded with a calm face.
「I gathered 35 so it’s not that different. 」
「You think that’s not that different at all? 」
After watching the exchange of the two, I looked at the leader, vice-leader, and mbers of the rcenary groups.
It’s just like a yakuza eting.
I rise from my seat while holding such an impression and open my mouth.
「Everyone, the international alliance wants your refined rcenary group to handler our simple request.」
As I said so, a man opened his mouth in the quiet bar.
He’s a tough looking man with black hair.
「… Are you a representative of the International Alliance?」
When the man said so, the other looked at too.
「Yes, I’m precisely one of the representatives.」
As I said so, the man narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at .
「According to the rumor, the apostle of god lost to the disciple of god. The international alliance still functions despite that?」
The man said so and looked at .
He seems to be a very smart man. He imdiately presented his concern clearly.
「… No, the enemy is an existence called evil god. I have not t the other party who introduces themselves as disciples of god yet.」
When I answered so while looking at the man straight, the man tilted his neck.
It beca turbulent when the other n heard the words evil god from my mouth but it beca quiet again when I opened my mouth.
「… We did not lose. It’s just a temporary retreat.」
When I said that and curved my lips into the shape of a smile, the man quietly raised the edge of his mouth.
「I see. In the rumors, I heard that two major powers participated in the international alliance and even the Einherjar, the country who crushed the Galland Empire, and the country of elves joined. If all of those countries move against the Imnstadt Empire, isn’t our power unnecessary?」
When the man asked so, the surrounding n looked at each other and beca noisy again.
Maa, if it’s the usual, I think so too.
「No, the problem is the threat of the evil god. Unfortunately, because of the action of the evil god, it will be difficult for the mages of the country of elves to move. Because of that, I need to defeat the evil god before the war between the international alliance and the empire comnce.」
When I answered, the man gave out a short groan and nodded.
「… Against the existence called evil god, can you win?」
「Of course. In fact, I have won against it once before.」
When I answered the man’s question, voices of admiration sounded.
The man rested his back on the chair and pulled in his chin.
「I understand. We’ll accept the request…we’ll withdraw if it’s too dangerous.」
When the man said so, soone else offering cooperation has appeared.
It’s a man with dark green hair.
「My apologies but, can I ask a question?」
「What is it?」
When I permit the man’s question, he sowhat cald down and asked the question.
「Upon accepting this request, what will we do?」
「Search for the evil god.」
「That, isn’t that dangerous?」
When I answer the man ‘s question, the man replies with another question.
Then, so n around changed their complexion.
I shook my head to the left and right and looked at the man.
「You’re just going to search for it so it’s not dangerous. You’ll be safe as long as you don’t attack.」
When I answer so, the man falls silent for a while then looks at .
「…Steel Lizard rcenary group will accept the request.」
The man said so and laughed.
I thought that he’ll refuse so I unknitted my eyebrows after hearing his answer.
「May I know why you accepted it?」
When I asked him, the man laughed out loud and nodded.
「I feel that you were not lying. I usually believe in my intuition. Well, my mbers often get angry with because of that.」
When the man said so and laughed, several rcenary groups also accepted the request.
The remaining ones are about half of their original number.
Most of them have a troubled atmosphere.
Do they need a last push?
When I thought of that, newcors arrived at the bar.
They are Dan, Sherry, and Anri.
Behind them is the leader of silver march, Somasa.
Somasa stands in front of Dan and the others, looks at , and opens his mouth.
「Silver March will also accept the request.」
When Somasa said so, the bar beca noisy.
I greatly nod and reply.
「Good. It is reassuring if the silver march participates.」
When I said so, Somasa replied with a manly smile.
After that exchange, the remaining rcenary groups rush to accept the request.
Apparently, because of the letter sent by the empire, the rcenaries are having difficulty in participating in the war.
They don’t want to be on the empire’s side but they are likely to be crushed if they are hostile against the empire.
One letter sent by one of the major powers is enough to limit the action of the rcenaries.
However, thanks to the fact that the majority of the rcenaries including silver march sided with the international alliance, the other rcenaries also accepted the request.
With this, I can finally find Hastur.
