Cursed Sword Master

Sistina's Negotiations

Fragments of the broken contract are glittering between me and Sistina. I know this contract (...) isn't the only bond between the two of us, but the sense of loss that I'm feeling right now is close to when Hotaru and the others disappeared into the shadows of the rocks.

Damn it, you bandits! I can't forgive you for making me think this again.

"Okay. Then come here for the Samurai Festival. Now we make a deal with Master Shaaz."

"I refuse"

"Nah!... hey, don't be ridiculous! You didn't hear me drop the deal with your former contractor earlier!

Pazion's temples are on Sistina, who refused to go under the bandits with summary judgment, but Sistina is a cool face.

"No, I was listening properly"

"Then come here and sign the contract quickly!

"I refuse"

"Damn... don't think that makes sense. Remember, your lives are now in the hands of Master Shaaz."

"That's the one you should remember very well. If you were my contractor, the deal I made with you was not to put your hands on the life and property of the contractor instead of terminating the contract with me."

"Mm..."

Yes, I said I would cancel the contract with Sistina, but I didn't promise to let Sistina and the bandits sign the contract.

If the Pazions want to sign with Sistina, than Sistina only has the right to make a contract, which is a samurai festival, it will be natural that they will now need to negotiate with Sistina.

"Damn it! Waste of foot scratches!

... Samurai Festival, having said that, don't think you can walk away from this place without a contract with anyone. If you admit it, I'll kill your original contractor. "

"Right… I'm not thinking that far either.

I do believe, too, that, given the current situation, it is inevitable in itself that we should spare our lives to sign a contract. But let me offer you some terms and conditions beyond imposing an unintended contract… "

"You think it's a situation where you can put such conditions on it?

The atmosphere of the Pazion changes. Shit, did you go a little too hard?

Drink spit as he secretly wipes the sweat seeping into his hands with his coat. But Sistina, who is negotiating, has no rush yet. Does that mean this much is still to be expected for Sistina, who has the art of negotiation?

"I think. Because we think our abilities are worth it."

"Fine. I'll treat you as Master Shaaz depending on what you have. Say it."

Hmm? Haven't you suddenly softened Pazion's attitude now...... Aah! Right, did Sistina use her 'bargaining' skills to force Pazion to pull out the maximum tolerance she just drew in the back of her brain?

"First, then, it's a reward.

How about ten gold coins every ten days?

"What?

Oh... don't plump it, Sistina. Ten gold coins means one large gold coin, 100,000 marl. In Japanese yen conversion, it is about 1 million yen, or 100,000 yen per day. Given the ability of the Samurai Festival, it may be as cheap as it gets, but it won't be the amount you can give it when it's that easy.

"Don't be ridiculous! There's no way I can give you that forehead every ten days. Ten days at most. One gold coin is a good place."

"Okay. Then the reward is fine. I will be paid for the reduction in treatment."

In Japanese sense, one gold coin in ten days is 10,000 yen per day, so it's reasonable to say that it's reasonable, but I feel it's an excessive amount to demand from a bandit group opponent. Perhaps Sistina is trying to use her bargaining skills for cancer to attract good treatment.

Does it intend to prolong the negotiations by doing so, while allowing the suspicious eye to be turned from around to the pazions who continue to give Sistina favourable treatment at their discretion? I make enemies around me just because I'm bargaining for them without realizing it at all. What a terrible negotiation. This would mean that Sistina is pretty angry, too.

"Next, then, my place among the bandits..."

◇ ◇ ◇

Then extended Sistina's demands continued.

Sistina plumps the favor. The pazion clears up. Sistina activates her bargaining skills. Pazion proposes a compromise. Sistina acknowledges. Plug in the next favor.

This flow was repeated. This makes Sistina's treatment pretty amazing.

10,000 yen per day, only Shaaz, the contractor, can touch the sexual service or Sistina, there is a full rest day once every ten days, separate menstrual leave entitlements, limited command to the distribution…, etc.

It's strange because it's a condition that makes me laugh unexpectedly, but if I look at it this way, I think it's better than being in our company.

"Wait! Pazion!

What are you doing? Until now, I've left everything to you to negotiate. As a result, it is also true that we have certainly achieved unpleasant results.

That's why I've been watching this so quietly, but it's just not here. No matter how much it's a samurai festival. If they drink that many compromised terms, there will be dissatisfaction within the organization.

How much time do you spend negotiating on it? Look around. Deliveries are losing focus and relaxing. "

"Huh?... that? Why?"

When they think Sistina's rights are going to be extended with this sloppiness. A man pulls Pazion's shoulder rampantly from behind into view.

This man would be the executive of the regiment and one of Shaaz's younger brothers, Shadullah. Wearing a black robe and light armor from above, he's still a skinny man. He seems to be the best wizard in the regiment when it comes to information on the Diago Re-Insciou. Was the good attribute definitely a fire attribute?

"Hold on, Pazion. Brain labor will be your role."

"No... I know. I knew it, so I was going to negotiate. When did this happen?"

"Don't you see? I was negotiating."

"... I know. I did drink those various conditions. I remember clearly. But... I don't know how I made that decision. You shouldn't have had to drink so many terms."

That would be so. There is no need for the red meteor, which should be in an overwhelming advantage if viewed as a whole, to give way to the terms so far.

However, Sistina deliberately subdivided the contents of the negotiations by bringing each item into the negotiations and pulling out the largest concessions from Pazion in each case with her negotiating skills. So it was a reasonable decision on one condition at a time, but when it stacked up, it was too preferential.

This would be Sistina's fine play where she had negotiations for a new item from next to next and didn't let Pazion think about the whole negotiation.

Normally, if a condition is offered, there is no summary judgment, and it is something that slowly thinks about it and negotiates up and down the terms, or in some cases alternatives, to adjust the balance as a whole, but they only think about the negotiations in front of them because they deprive them of time to think that they will be using their bargaining skills and suddenly come to a conclusion.

"Goddamn it... it's funny.

I didn't know you were smart enough to take a handful of pazions. "

"Master Shaaz!

"Oh, good, good. That samurai festival was more involved in the negotiations than you were. It was just a bunch of them."

"Ku..."

The shadow that emerged from behind the Pazion, that's Shaaz, the leader of the bandit group Red Meteor, who sometimes has more than 200 members.

Shortly pruned blonde hair and a neat face, my oldest brother Shaaz shouldn't be strange anymore, considering that Meisa was already over thirty. And yet you look full of precision that doesn't make you feel old.

In spite of the condition of being handsome on the blonde hair, one way or another, the workout macho flesh is not equipped with anything that looks like protective gear, normally dressed like a normal outfit, and only the weapon carries a great sword.

And I don't have half the presence and intimidation. That intimidation is at a level where you can almost pull your hips off without thinking that you are so far apart.

(Master... that guy probably won't get through the negotiations)

(Yeah, I know. That's not the type to listen to people)

Me and Sistina have a conversation with just a whisper of mouth without taking our eyes off Shaaz. This is how easy it is to accommodate the bandits on the high ground using the same methods they were eavesdropping on their conversations.

(If that guy keeps standing on the arrow side of the bargain, that's enough time to buy)

(I can't help that. Rather, thank you for buying me so much time in this unfavourable situation, Sistina)

(No, thanks to your husband hitting a lot of cloth stones....... but not yet)

(I can't help it. It's like a bet originally. But we did everything we could, believing in winning that bet. And don't ever give up until the last moment to fight. That's fine)

(Yes)

(Don't even ask for sunflowers. This time it could be a lot of strain.)

'I don't mind. I'm glad to finally work for the Lord.'

My people are always reliable. That's why I rely on you to stick with me. Someday I want to be a man on whom everyone depends.

Well, I'm also talking about hope if we can survive this predicament.

"Pazion. I don't know how you feel about putting on a samurai festival for me.

If you're such a crazy, beautiful woman, you should have swallowed your terms just now. But she can't. "

"Duh, why not! This is the situation. If you don't want to die, like that man, you'll have to give in to us in the end!

"It's different there in the first place. Look at those eyes. He's not a man who begs for his life in exchange for something important to live for.

Well, the Samurai Festival that chose such a man as a contractor has to give in to villains like us. "

"But, brother, did he beg for his life and break his contract with the Samurai Festival?

"Come on, I don't get it! But everything they've ever done is farce. When you give in to us, you make it look like you're nagging and sharpening your blade with that shadow."

Shaaz's face is going to be so much fun to break through one after the other with intuition of our plans. But... I'm scared under that smile. I feel like something more intimidating, like killing is getting stronger and stronger than it did when it appeared.

"If so! What can only two of us do in this surrounding situation..."

"I don't know. But those guys apparently wanted to buy some time. Whether it's a trap or a trigger, reinforcements, or a natural mutation, I don't know."

"Buy time?... I see. I do think of it. In Shaaz's opinion, that samurai festival doesn't have a contract with Shaaz."

"Oh, I don't. He would have chosen death if he'd made a deal with someone other than that guy."

"Okay. Then I'm not going to let those guys buy me any more time. Order, please."

Shit, it wasn't long before Shaaz came out that the flow of time we'd been making with the thought of stepping on thin ice was easily smashed.

"Sistina!"

"Yes!"

I pull out the flash slash, grab the sunflower, take the defensive setup, and Sistina also swirls and replaces the demon break she had with the spear tip down.

"Hmm. You've also assumed this will happen anyway, haven't you? Let me see that! Fight him! If you like me, I'll kill you guys myself!

Shaaz raises his right hand with a fierce laugh.

There was not one bandit left who was starting to relax in one of those movements, and he bowed at us in a brilliantly neat motion to regain his nervousness.

"Come on, show it to me! Huh!"

At the same time that Shaaz's right hand is swung down. Zah! The sky is filled with arrows with the sound that However, with about a hundred arrows, that's unlikely, but because everyone was after us with a lot of precision, does that mean that the concentration rate is great? Is it because my brain is making brain corrections on its own to the intimidation of a large number of arrows?

I mean I'm scared!! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

But if we don't get stuck here, we're done here. I just have to cut the trump card here.

"Aoi! Please!

"Yes, sir! Now is my show! I'm coming!! [Anthropomorphism]!
