Chapter 107: Sweet Business Method VI
With two young girls with blue-brown hair who appeared to be twins, Yuria headed to a deserted place, followed by Robert.
Seeing this, Ophelia and the guards also secretly began to follow them. At first glance, it might have seemed like a simple matter between children, but Ophelia and several guards with keen senses gathered their mana and began to prepare for an emergency.
‘Those girls… are not ordinary.’
Earlier, when the two twins were talking to the cook, they could sense it—the sign of unusual power that flowed from the girl who seemed to be her sister. It was certainly something to be wary of for a girl who looked only in her mid-teens to wield such power, and Ophelia began preparing herself to intervene immediately if they did anything wrong.
And…
Confirming that the surroundings had become quiet to some extent, Yuria stopped walking.
Looking at her, Ken spoke in a wary voice.
“Why are you doing this? Bringing people to this place?”
“Uh… sister… but she’s the one who helped us so far…”
“Help? Do you think there is such a thing as an unreasonable favor in the world? Tell me, what the hell are we doing?”Despite Mino’s disapproval, Ken spoke in a harsh tone.
At her words, Yuria once again confirmed that there were no eyes around her, looked at Ken’s face, and spoke in a quiet voice.
“You…tried to kill that cook, right?”
“….!”
Ken looked startled at Yuria’s words. However, she soon spoke to Yuria with a slightly interested expression on her face.
“No, no matter how much it is, killing is a little annoying after all… maybe an arm. If he was very lucky, he probably would’ve lost two fingers.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Wait a minute. Please be quiet, Robert.”
Robert, bewildered by Ken’s brutal words, was immediately silenced by Yuria, who continued speaking while looking straight into Ken’s face.
“I see, you mean that you’re confident in your skills to do that? I don’t think there’s much of an age gap between us, but being able to easily beat that chef is…”
“Why are you thinking that far? Actually, I didn’t even pull out a weapon, let alone the skills I showed.”
“Because I didn’t feel any fear from you in the situation just before. You could have been beaten up in that situation but you were too calm. Same for you sister over there. That must mean that you were confident in your ability to handle the situation, right?”
“Eh? Me… me?”
Mino blushed slightly, showing embarrassment at Yuria’s words.
Looking at Yuria, who inferred the situation and told the inside story accurately, Ken asked with a more wary expression on her face.
“What is your identity? Just looking at you, I don’t think you’re an ordinary kid my age…”
“My identity…is nothing grandiose, just know that the environment I grew up was a little unusual. And I think that you guys are more extraordinary than me for having that level of combat power at your age, right?”
“Ummm…”
Looking at Yuria talking with a light smile, Ken asked in a voice filled with concern, still remaining alert.
“Anyway… so? Was the reason you brought us here while spending money just to investigate what happened just now? Or simply because you don’t want to see one of the chef’s arms blown off?”
“Of course, it’s not just that. May I make one good suggestion for you?”
“Proposal?”
“What… is that?”
Yuria said something unexpected. The two sisters began to express their curiosity, and Yuria spoke to them in a calm voice.
“How about this? You two, would you like to work for the Beden Merchant Company where I belong?”
“…what?”
“What… are you saying?”
At the sudden scouting proposal, the faces of the two sisters began to look suspicious, and Yuria, looking at them, said with her eyes slightly shining.
“It’s a little embarrassing to say this, but it seems like you aren’t being treated very well considering your abilities. You are my age, but you have such level of combat power…and you are able to use mana.”
“Well… I’m sure you mean well, but I don’t think I’m going anywhere else…”
“Um… uh… then how much is the salary?”
“Mino you…!”
Unlike when she was hesitant until now, Mino showed more interest than Ken.
Feeling embarrassed by this, Ken tried to restrain her younger sister, but Mino, unlike usual, spoke with a slightly serious expression.
“Well…it wouldn’t be bad to just listen first, right? And… if it’s very good, accept it…”
“You… really…”
Ken was speechless for a moment at the active reaction of her younger sibling, who normally couldn’t even say anything, and Yuria, looking at the two of them, said with a little question.
“Well…even if we don’t have a job, we are paid every month. Do you only give you money when you work?”
“Uh… um… this… keep talking.”
Ken expressed some discomfort at Yuria’s words, which strangely compared their situation.
In response, Yuria spoke to them again with a smile on her face.
“First of all, considering the fact that you are a mana user, about 8000 silver per month? I’ve seen people who are evaluated as having excellent skills receive more than 2 talets per month. Of course, vacations are guaranteed.”
“8000 silver…a month?”
“Two talets…”
Yuria revealed an unexpected amount. That amount of money was a very generous salary. They didn’t earn as much even at their peak as the Sakiel Knights’ contract killing team in the past.
‘In addition… with our skills, we can defeat quite a few mana users. Proving your skills and raising your salary is a very simple thing. Then, if you go to work moderately, you can aim for 2 talets or more per month, but this kind of golden opportunity…ugh!’
But… the moment she thought about that, Ken shook her head violently, feeling a sudden flash of consciousness.
“I’m sorry! Something urgent has come up! Let’s go, Mino!”
“Yes? Ha… but sister…”
Ken hurriedly withdrew, forcibly holding her sister’s hand.
As a result, before Yuria could stop the two of them, Ken started to run away.
“Yeah? Um… over there…”
“Thanks for the…offer!”
However, even in the middle of it, Ken expressed her gratitude and left without letting go of the last lingering attachment. For an instant, she almost fell for the sweet offer. Although it was very short-lived, it was a offer that had the power to make people forget about their family and colleagues. So in response, Ken hurriedly left the place, feeling unexpected fear.
“Ah…”
On the other hand, looking at the two people who disappeared right in front of her eyes in an instant, a light of regret began to dwell on Yuria’s face.
‘It’s a waste…if done well, it could have helped Miss Isolda…’
While helping Isolda and working as an important member of the Beden Merchant Company, Yuria naturally learned what kind of person Mr. Bahamut, the owner of the company, was.
He was person who constantly sought wealth, connections, and power. As part of that, Mr. Bahamut was periodically recruiting adventurers known for their outstanding skills, and in particular, in the case of those who could use mana, they spent a lot of money to recruit them almost unconditionally. Even before leaving for this trip Yuria had budgeted for it, so there was no way she wouldn’t know about it.
‘It’s already too much power to see it as a simple guild escort division… it feels like he’s preparing for war…’
From Yuria’s point of view, it was still a mystery why Mr. Bahamut was going this far. However, it was natural for a subordinate to help their master in whatever they wanted. Above all, from Yuria’s point of view, there was also the goal of wanting to support Isolda, her direct superior. In that respect, it was only regretful for Yuria that Mr. Bahamut was unable to capture the mana users that he had been coveting all along.
On the other hand, seeing Yuria feeling regret for missing out on all the fish she had caught, Robert was quite surprised inside.
‘I can’t imagine trying to do such a thing…’
To be honest, Robert was nervous the whole time watching the current situation. Even at first glance, it was clear that the two were dangerous people who could easily knock down a large adult man. To try to make a deal right away without feeling the slightest bit of fear against them…for Robert, who knew only two ways to avoid danger or fight against it, it was a fresh yet intensely shocking scene.
‘As expected… the more I look at her, the more amazing she is… this woman named Yuria…’
