48 Episode 38 Suggested

When the story is divided, Karan claps his hands. You kept it in front of the door, or a staff member enters the room and gives Karan the documents he brought. He gave me one of the pieces he received from following them with his eyes.

Handed over are the procedural documents related to the Cobalt King Crusade. The reward for crushing the Cobolt King and the fact that the union would put the carcass on the buying reward were written.

If you give hope, mercenaries can get it without selling useful materials from the Covolt King's carcass, but I didn't feel the need to sell it all away.

As a result, the rewards I earned for this incident were more than double the savings I've been saving since I joined the mercenary union.

I also know how mercenaries want to target big things. I earned more than a month's hard work in a single hunt. However, I wandered around the boundary of life and death without joking, so I didn't think I'd take the initiative.

Write my name on the paperwork you gave me and the reward will be mine. Before that, I came up with one thing.

"Ah, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?

"I want to transfer a portion of this reward to Mikage."

"Yukina-sama!?

What surprised me was nothing else. [M]

"Why on earth...."

"Well, maybe I was the one who stabbed the Covolt King. But I was definitely dead on my own, and I didn't feel like challenging him before that. It was because of the lizard. Then this meritorious man will definitely include the lizard."

"Yu, Yukina-sama...."

Mikage was touched by my imaginary diagonal momentum. I was going to go through with it ─ ─.

Ahh, this is how you get more positive. This natural lady ─ ─ Ke

Why is Gram distracted? I don't know what that means.

"No, that's not it. The union is supposed to pay this reward separately to Silver Flash. As an apology for the lack of information and as a supporter of the Cobolt King crusade."

"... well, thanks from me."

"Okay. I'll do what you want."

As a result of the discussion, one-fifth of my rewards were sent to Silver Flash. I'll sign the papers and give them to Karan.

I'm sorry to hear about the Covolt King crusade. I want to talk to you about another thing. "

"Is there anything else?

"Don't make me so cold, Silver Flash. This is good news for you, Yukina."

Karan suggested to me that the lizard's eyebrows were twitching.

"─ ─ Yukina-kun, aren't you going to take this opportunity to become a Class IV mercenary?

"... promotion?

I tried reflectively to put it in my mouth, but I couldn't immediately understand the meaning in my head.

"It won't be surprising. I had your mercenary activities investigated in advance. Certainly there are sections that were aimed at small objects, but there have also been a number of canine headmen (covolt) crusades. The union member who handled the request also had a good reputation. Compared to other new mercenaries, they are doing a much more polite and reliable job."

Did trying to get a lot of reward for even one request make me appreciate my work?

"In addition to that, we are honoured by this crusade against the Kobolt King. The union side judged that promotion to the fourth grade was practically satisfactory. But I'm going to get a promotion exam for that."

"Anyway, let's make it a tertiary."

"That's impossible... is it my fault that Silver Flash is acting a little strange today?

Don't worry. Today is the first time I've spoken to Mikage properly, but even I think she's strange.

"... well, anyway. If you have the strength to crush the Cobolt King, you will be promoted to the third level without any problems if you continue to build on your achievements. As a precursor, why don't you consider a promotion to the fourth grade?"

………………

I didn't shake my neck vertically or horizontally, so I thought about it for a while.

In the end, I put it on hold without being able to give an answer on the spot.

"Suddenly, it was up to the mercenary to take the promotion exam or not."

Without feeling upset, Karan nodded to the eagle.

What surprised me was Mikage's reaction. You were surprised and honest with my suspension.

After leaving the union, I remember that time with Gram after I broke up with Mikage.

"I knew it." Why did you refuse? You should be promoted!! "I thought it would be."

After leaving the reception room, she laughed in trouble when she asked Mikage about it.

"To be honest, I would like you to be promoted to yes or no, but I couldn't think that Yukina-sama would make a decision."

Exactly, but this man's understanding of me is deep and scary. It hasn't been a day since we started talking properly, has it?

That's right. The top is appropriate, but my partner here is stubborn and hardcore. They're the same stubborn people around here. "

"... is my head so stiff?

"Remember when you jumped out in front of the Covolt King. You completely ignored what I said. That's when my liver got cold."

You don't have a liver, do you? The last one was Norinori.

"It's the silk of words. Besides, I'm not a faggot, but why did you refuse to answer Karan? It's only temporary that my partner became a mercenary. I've saved enough money to buy Cunei, and there's no point in continuing to be a mercenary. I don't even know if I need to buy it in the first place."

Yes, it is.

Gram is right. The original purpose of becoming a 'mercenary' was to make the money necessary to 'buy' Cunai as a prostitute. In fact, the target amount was reached (cleared) with this reward.

To be clear, there is no reason for me to continue as a mercenary. I don't intend to let Gram go any further now, but there was no need to move forward and make rough work as a mercenary.

A while ago, I would have turned down Karan's offer and retired from mercenary operations. But there was a change in my mood.
