27 – I need to make some money.

Early morning meditation, morning gravity chamber training, afternoon reading Altair’s book, afternoon gravity chamber training.

Have you done this routine for about a month now?

I’m on the brakes.

“Crisis.”

The place I am is in my dormitory room.

In front of me, a slim wallet is hanging like a corpse.

Current balance of 0 points.

The monthly allowance from Grace didn’t come.

I came in at the end of the month, but since today is November 1st, I should have come in at the end of October.

‘…… He refused to talk about marriage.’

A letter from my father told me to marry Baron Judith.

So I didn’t even reply to the refusal, so my pocket money was cut off.

I thought it would be like this.

This is why you cannot eat enough even if you exercise.

I don’t have money for food.

“…… I must earn money.”

I didn’t want to waste time if possible, but I can’t help it.

In my previous life, I was disowned by my parents’ family in the second year, and I worked as a mercenary as a side job.

I didn’t have time to study because of that, so my grades were low.

Now grades don’t matter.

I tore the receipt next to my wallet.

「Dream House Ruby Necklace. Payment amount: 5,000,000 points.」, 「Special Bouquet of Flower Shelter. Payment amount: 1,000,000 points”, “Chanson clothing store men’s suit. Payment amount: 30,000,000 points.”

These are receipts that make you feel proud just by looking at them.

Considering that a commoner’s meal costs 5000 points, these are absurd luxuries.

I bought these as gifts for my professors.

It was crazy.

Most of the presents are thrown away by the professors, so the presents cannot be retrieved.

I don’t want to retrieve it vulgarly.

Fortunately, there are men’s suits that will rot in the closet, but at this point I need to prepare a place to work.

I got out of the academy and walked down the highway.

It’s a commercial area around the academy, so there are many kinds of shops. Crowds of people busily walk in and out of the store.

“Ah… Lectures have already started, so the week after the exam was perfect.”

“What can I do? Let’s cut a T-bone steak at Tertia Restaurant.”

“Oh, nice.”

The Charles Academy male students passing by me.

Most of them are aristocrats, so their pockets are comfortable.

I’m out of business. The mercenary guild is far from the academy. There is only one way to the Mercenary Guild. As I was walking, remembering, I saw a familiar figure in front of me.

For some reason Jeanne has her blonde hair tied back.

A disciple of the Sword Saint, and a sinner who dared to disturb my reading.

Because they were blocking my way with slow steps, I passed by.

Jeanne, who was staring at her device, looked up when she saw me.

“Huh? You are Evan!”

A shrill voice stuck in my ears.

I ignored it and walked on.

Soon, with the sound of noisy footsteps, Jeanne ran ahead of me and turned around. Pushing her blond hair, which swayed like the tail of her horse, behind her, Jeanne pointed her finger at me.

“Don’t ignore me!”

“…… You can go your way, however.”

“I have business for you!”

“Keep it short.”

Or else I’ll kill you.

Jeanne put her hands on my waist with her somehow confident face.

“I learned from a boy your age. You said you had to be liked in order to find out information?”

“Are you saying that in front of yourself?”

“Listen first. So I’ll put on a dress. How is it?”

“I think I will like you if you disappear from my presence.”

At least it doesn’t take up time.

I ignored Jeanne this time and walked. She kept Jeanne chattering beside her, but she quieted down as she walked as she meditated.

This time, while dealing with the Dark Knights, you unlocked the Pilgrim’s Sword.

Actually, it was used as a substitute for a torch, but could it be made more practical?

Playing the idiot who executes is the first star, so it would be nice if the second star was also involved.

I’ll have to think about it.

I opened my eyes.

I see an old three-story building. The words 『Mercenary Guild Allulim Branch』 Are engraved on the wooden signboard. I used to find it often when I was a student, but it’s been so long that my memory is hazy. Jeanne, she was still attached to me, and she was staring at the guild sign.

“…… Did you follow me all the way here?”

“Ugh, whoops! Don’t blow your life away!! Sorry!”

“Why did you follow me all the way here?”

“Why did you follow me…… ? I have business with the guild too!”

Aren’t you following me?

The anger subsided a little. If there is another purpose, Jeanne will go her own way.

Jeanne put her hand on her own chest and let out a sigh.

“Hufu… It’s the first time I’ve been invited by the princess. I’ve seen it once or twice at a social church or from a distance, but it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this, so I’m nervous.”

“You mean the third princess, Cornelia, who was attacked this time?”

“Hey, use respect! If you do something wrong, it’s a crime of blasphemy.”

Jeanne glanced around her tense face and let out a sigh of relief.

“Be careful. It’s crazy that no one has heard of it, uhhh. That’s right anyway. I’m a quarterfinalist in the Humbaba Central Tournament, so I can go to the 3rd Princess’s dinner party. I heard that you have to wear a very pretty dress… I came to the guild because I had no money.”

A neat suit is all you need at a place where swordsmen are invited by the imperial family, but an expensive dress.

Because he is a disciple of the Sword Saint, should he dress fancy?

“Aren’t you Valois’ adopted daughter? Shouldn’t it be possible to use the money from Professor Swordsman?”

“…… How can you ask for money to buy expensive clothes? It’s not even a penny or two, but I don’t want to bother Master.”

This is unique.

The desire to act independently without bothering the teacher.

Is this the first advantage of Jeanne?

She

She And she is the princess, so she can actually ask for money in return for saving the princess. But this is a bad idea. Her debt to her 3 princesses will be used later when she meets her divine sword, Altair.

You can’t do it on a penny.

From noble mtl dot com

I organized my thoughts and entered the mercenary guild.

“Evan Innin Grace, are you a first year student at Charles Academy?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. I’ll register you on the guild server.”

A mysterious woman at the counter speaking in a kind voice and registering as my mercenary. She is a beastman with cat ears and a tail. Beast races are a minority race or are mixed here and there in the empire, so it seems uncommon.

Your name was Mila.

It’s already been over 60 years, but she’s a face I remember because she often came to the mercenary guild when she was a student.

“These are really handsome and pretty students. I’ll take good care of you~ My name is Mila.”

Mila is a woman who has dealt with tough mercenaries, so she has a friendly personality.

“hehehe really? Thanks, Ms. Mila!”

Jeanne was loose and scratched the back of her head. She is childlike with a fondness for lip service.

“Okay, that’s it. Get both devices.”

Mila passed the device to me and Jeanne. The good thing about being a Charles Academy student is that she can work as a mercenary like a part-time job without special mercenary screening.

Mila pricked up her cat ears and pointed behind her.

“There are a lot of official requests, so pick one.”

There are commission boards that are divided into 「Very Safe」, 「Safe」, 「Normal」, 「Danger」, 「Very Danger」.

The level of difficulty is classified according to the contents of the request.

Of course, “Very safe” Is the easiest, and “Very dangerous” Is the most difficult.

I went to the “Normal” Stage.

From the 「Danger」 Stage, the professor’s consent is required.

The maximum number of requests that a student can take on alone is “Normal”.

This is common sense, but Jeanne opened the dangerous level request without hesitation.

“…… Did you get the professor’s consent?”

“Huh? Aha, I’m the swordsman’s apprentice. I found out that I was able to choose my own way up to the dangerous stage?”

Jeanne speaks irrationally cheerfully.

I compared Jeanne’s request and the request I chose.

10 Million points for the request I selected, 300 million points for Jeanne’s request.

The time efficiency is much different.

I proposed to Jeanne.

“…… Make a deal.”

“Ooh, a deal? Do you want to share the request I received?”

“It doesn’t matter if I practice alone. But to register a request, you must have four people.”

“We should do the request together, what are you talking about!”

Jeanne picked up a straw in the middle, and she smiled sinisterly.

“Is there something you wished for too?”

“Time is just a waste.”

“Hee hee.”

After covering her face with her request, Jeanne peeked out only her eyes and smiled at her.

“Would you like?”

Because it looked like a medicine for some reason, she blew her life away. Jeanne’s complexion turned blue. She missed her request and stumbled.

“Hey, hey… you, you…… How naughty!”

“So are you going to do it or not?”

“Okay! Instead, I have to do your interview!”

“Okay.”

Dramatic conclusion.

I came to accompany Jeanne in the form of a party to her request that she accepted.

The content of the request is “Extermination of baby dragons.”

It is said that one day, a young dragon suddenly appeared and occupied the county castle.

To kill the young dragon and take back the count’s castle.

A horse is a dragon, but a newly born dragon is not very strong. Magic is cool too. I’m not expecting much.

The client, Count Berman and his wife, were farther away than expected.

An hour’s sprint from the guild building? It was an hour’s distance by mana-enhanced running. Jeanne, who was running side by side with me, looked at me with a strange face.

“You follow surprisingly well.”

What Jeanne said is that my physical ability is at the bottom, how can I follow her?

It happened because her magical power rank was much higher than that of Jeanne, but there was no need to put it into words.

You can run faster here.

Because I accepted the request in Jeanne’s name, I was specially speeding it up.

“I don’t know.”

“So many secrets!”

Jeanne puffed out her cheeks and shouted.

Otherwise, I kept going. The villa where the Berman couple are staying is right in front of them.

I have to solve it quickly and go back.

For now, we decided to split the cost of Jeanne and her request 5 to 5.

If you solve this quest, you won’t have to worry about money for a while.

I sped up and went forward.

“Uh… Go with me!”

Jeanne also chased after me.
