The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

The city-state Laytin, which is late at night. The time has already passed twenty-four o'clock, and few private houses are lit. Even in the bustling city during the day, darkness and silence dominate the watchtower, where the watchful sleeper stays, and the bar, which is full of drinks all night long.

A boulevard that runs through the center of the city and leads to the castle in the center. In the buildings lining the main street, a well-known firm had its headquarters and branches.

The store space on the first floor is quite dark due to the fact that it is midnight, but most firms use the middle floor for offices and employee accommodation. Many of the rooms that are considered offices are lit.

One of the buildings, a room of a firm, had two men. The starlight coming through the window is terribly weak, and the room only illuminates the flickering lantern. A man in his mid-thirties is sitting on a chair and looking at the documents spread on his office desk. The dark brown long hair stretched to the back is tied up with a string so as not to disturb the office work.

"Is Litte Shokai taking over the loan to Lovell?"

The man who finished reading the documents at hand sullenly dismissed.

"Yes. The other day I received a message from Lovel Trading that I would repay the balance in bulk. When I checked it, it seemed that Litte Trading had moved."

An elderly man, who was facing the desk in the center of the room, replies.

"Do not be silly!"

Irritated The long-haired man banged his fist at the desk.

"Well, there's no point in crushing the sales channel of Lovell Shokai!"

The man's anger is also good. The plan to take over Ellie Lovell in exchange for abandonment of the debt and to take over the lost-lived Lovell firm with Ziwajiwa failed.

It is not the amount of money that was spent to get Lovel Shokai under its umbrella and get her only daughter, Ellie. It is the money paid to be considered an investment because the Rovel Shokai, which is one of the long-established stores in Laitine, is available. It should have been loaned with the knowledge that Lovell Shokai had no repayment capacity, but it would not be possible to complain to those who would repay earlier than the deadline.

"It was unexpected that Litte Shokai would support it."

An elderly man says plainly.

Debt: "How much Litte Shokai is going smoothly, but if you take over for Lovel Shokai, you could run out of business. I knew that the chairman of Litte Shokai and the only daughter of Lovel Shokai were childhood friends, but as expected I was expecting no intervention ... "

Takumi: “Natural. The little girl of Litte Shokai .... Surely Marrieda. She's a little girl, but her sense of smell as a merchant isn't slow. Maybe it was a type that moved with unexpected emotions. ''

A man with long hair crosses his arms and thinks.

"How do you like, Julis?"

"... I'm annoyed, but now I'm just crazy."

Suppressing the regrettable expression, a long-haired man called Julis exhales deeply.

"It's another opportunity to bring the Lovell firm under its umbrella. In this case, Litte firm should have had a very lean backbone. The order was reversed, but it could be absorbed from the Litte firm first, Depending on how you do it, you can join it with Lovell Shokai. ''

Apparently, he modified his plan in his head and saw it paid off.

"If Litte's puss is so affectionate, it will be easier to do in the future."

Julis smiled intimidatingly and asked the elderly man as he remembered.

"Is it true that Litte Shokai had a bell? Is it still usable?"

"Yes. I still have a bell. It's an ambitious bell, so it can be used as a needle in some cases."

"I see ... then leave it for a while, because I won't have time to work on it."

"Yes"

As Julis puts it, the plan he's been working on has come to a close. Now I can't help but do anything else.

Progress Julis confirms the situation with the elderly man.

"Is the purchase of materials going on?"

"Wood and stone materials for repairs, catalyst ores for repairing armor, and medicinal herbs for remedies are not all on schedule, but they are on track."

"Okay. Keep it out of the country and other firms. How is the mercenary gathering?"

Byakuya "Is it half-like? Even if it is a famous mercenary, it seems that there are many who can not be captured only by high rewards. By yesterday," Free Cloud "" Dragon's Swordsman "" Guidance of the Spirit "" Red Sanken ”, But there ’s“ Mystery Star ”arriving today from Tria. Tomorrow, about two more sets will arrive.”

"I'd like to call the recently rumored sword magician, too."

"I know where the sword magician usually uses, but I couldn't get in touch because she was almost out of town."

"It can't be helped. I'm just alone. I don't have to worry too much. It's less than planned, but can you secure enough?"

"Yes, they're all very well-known skilled mercenaries. Unlike the odds who hang out at the tavern in Leiting, they'll do their job satisfactorily."

Magical incense "What's the effect of" "?"

"When tested with mercenaries, they seemed to work very well. When tested in an unseen forest, they managed to lure monsters that normally inhabit the mountainous terrain."

As a result, the territory has been lost in the woods, and the beasts that have been repelled have appeared on the plains, causing damage to travelers and surrounding villages, but the elderly man did not dare to mention it. I didn't think a guy named Julis was pleased with it. I know exactly what happened.

"Okay, there is no change in the plan."

According to Julis's words, the elderly man bowed deeply and left the room.

When they arrive in Leiting, the Teds sleep for the night at the inn. The next morning, they leave for Alziz, who has a need, and go to Zimbaril.

The reason Ted and the others came all the way to Leiting was because of the firm's request by name. The content of the request is material collection in mountainous areas. Collecting the flowers needed to produce a specific remedy is a task that Teds are required to do.

"As it grows, it's quite deep into the mountains, so we can only rely on those who are strong and capable. We may encounter dangerous beasts and demons. It ’s very expensive. ”

A long-haired man, dubbed Julis, explains with a smile. The soft attitude and polite language, and the attitude that does not break even if the opponent is rough, give the viewer the impression of a cheerful good young man.

"It's also in anticipation of the fact that the people of" Midnight of the White Night "came from Tria.

Upon request, Ted and his colleagues visited the Zimbaril firm, and were passed through the reception on the second floor of the firm. The three Ted were sitting side by side on an ornately decorated sofa, facing the young chairman of the Zimbalil firm, sitting across the table.

"I'm glad to say that. You're calling us not only us, but also the Dragon Dragon and the Red Sword? It's a lot of generosity."

Ted's expression is sullen. If your arms are bought and nominated, you will come all the way and you will find nothing. Mercenary parties active in other cities have been called out as well.

In short, not only the Teds are specially expected. It is simply called as a part of many others. I wouldn't be happy to be shown it implicitly.

"Don't be afraid. You don't need two different materials. I've been asking other parties to do it, but I'm not taking the power of" Mystery of the White Night ". I don't have much time to do it, and I have to go to several places to collect at the same time, so I can't make it. "

"Well, we're professional too. If you pay me the rewards, you won't complain.

"Thank you.

"But don't decide if you still want to take on the job."

Ted leans forward, telling Julis, who responds with a smiling smile all the time.

"The request form says," I'll give you a decision on whether to accept the request after I've explained it in detail. "

"Yes, that's right. There is no problem if you make a decision within three days of hearing the story. Even if you do not accept the request, we will bear the travel expenses up to the rating here Please give me"

Hearing that, Ted sits back on the sofa.

"Okay, so let me tell you a detailed story."

-One hour later. Ted and others "Midnight of the White Night" leave the building of Zimbaril Shokai.

On the way to the inn, Ted spoke about the request he had just heard.

"What are you going to do? The reward is perfect.

The terms offered by Zimbaril were fairly good, to say the least. What we collect is a petal of a flower called "blue tulip".

If the petal is successfully collected, one hundred gold coins will be paid as a success reward. The petals are said to be purchased for five gold coins. If you can find the colony well, you can earn 200 or 300 gold coins lightly. The deadline is ten days. No penalty for failure. No need to return travel expenses or expenses. Lodging and various expenses during the period are held by the Shokai. In addition, if you get injured while fulfilling the request, you can receive healing magic at a treatment clinic where the company's stick is located. It's also free.

"You have a face that doesn't float for that?"

Orphea, who obscures her red hair with a hood, laughs as if teasing.

"Sorry for this kind of thing"

Strong face "There is such a thing. What is that face?

Norris asks Ted, who is frowning at Orphelia's words, from the side.

"Is Ted going to take this request?"

"... I don't like it."

Ted mutters as he turns away from both eyes.

"The rewards are complaining, and the conditions are good, but the client doesn't like it."

Oten: "What's the client? But Zimbaril has to be one of the best in this rating, and the chairman Julis didn't look like a weird person ..."

Orferia, with her index finger on her lips, recalls Julis, whom she had just met.

"Ah. I agree with Ted."

"Do you say that to Norris?"

"Don't you think it's funny?"

"What is it?"

"I don't know what it takes to collect the material, but you're attracting so many parties from far away like us?"

"Yeah. It was a lot of things to collect and let the one party do all the work, and the range was too wide."

"Yeah, so if you leave it to one party, you may save on commissions but it will take time, so you said you gathered powerful parties from all over the place to collect at the same time ... … .If we had time to wait for us to arrive in the first place, wouldn't it be enough to send a request to Ratingin's mercenary in the wrong place? ”

"It's like ..." It's a dangerous place, it's dangerous if you're not a good mercenary. "

Huai "But maybe there is a party that succeeds in harvesting luckily? You don't necessarily come across monsters just because you're in the mountains. It's a reward for success, so if you fail, the company will not hurt if you fail I would call on a local mercenary at the same time as calling a powerful party from a distance. "

"Certainly there is that in terms of insurance ..."

Yucho: "That's it. I'm going to make a decision within three days to decide whether or not to accept a request ... I feel a lot."

"Well, if you say that ... Why is Ted reluctant?"

When asked, Ted stops and begins to groan with his arms folded.

"It's hard to put it into words, but I don't know why I can't see my intention?

"Oh, I understand. I don't care if we get a request, but it felt like" either one is fine. "

In response to the two men's opinions, Orphelia looked as though she was in trouble.

"If they say so, will this request decline?"

"Well, fortunately we have plenty of time to reply. Let's think slowly over night. Let's talk and decide again tomorrow."

The Orphelias agreed with Ted's proposal, and the three went back to the inn again.
