Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

It was Cyril's statement that broke the silence of a painful place.

"But when that happens, I don't know if it's in our personal hands anymore. It's almost about the size of the army, isn't it? ─ ─ Doesn't that exist in elves like those armies?

Yes, Cyril spoke to Lefania's mother, Finola.

The youthful looking elf, which only looks like its refania sister, but shakes his neck sideways with a bitter look.

"In this neighboring elf settlement, the one that had the most warriors was the one I was staying in. Its size is twenty-three elf warriors...... no, it's down more now. Many warriors were killed or captured by them."

That's what Finola eats her teeth off with remorse, but now you don't think that's the time, she shakes her neck to the side and then continues the conversation.

"Several warriors, including myself, are now running to neighboring elf settlements for help, but even if they gather, there are not more than a hundred warriors. Far away, there must be hundreds of elf warriors begging for help in the 'Great Fairy Forest', but from there you have to come beyond a number of human borders, and it will take more than a month on one path"

So Finola cut the word once.

And when she sits her eyes on it, she releases the following words.

"And if we had that much time, it would be enough for many of our captured brethren to raise enough of the orc child in their bellies to be torn to bear it down and lose their lives. … Orcs that give birth to other races have an unusually short time to give birth"

When I heard that story about Finola, Satsuki tongued uncomfortably.

Mi and Cyril seemed to be similarly springing up anger emotions.

I saw it, and I thought it was a bad idea.

All three of them are feeling too forward.

I know how it feels, but I misjudge you for lack of calm.

First of all, we have to judge whether this is a project we should be stepping into.

But as things stand, I seem to be the coolest thing about the situation.

While I calculated the appropriate compensation for the project in my head, I cut it out for Finola.

"Finola, I want to hear one thing. How much can we pay you to help us with this case as mercenaries?

"─ Will! Talk about that now......!

Satsuki eats me from the side, but I turn my gaze to her and shake my neck to the side.

"No, Satsuki. Whether you are involved in this matter or not, you should be involved separately from your work. If you're thinking about anything, risking your life to destroy your enemies, rescue captured elves, etc., you're really gonna die. In order not to miss the exit, and in the sense of making it clear to Finola and the others how far we are going to go, we should get the contract right and get involved."

"... Huh!... Mm-hmm. Uh-huh...!

Satsuki puts a burr on his head.

It looked frustrating with no place for emotion.

But after a while, I stopped moving.

"... I get it. Leave it to Will. Maybe that's the best part."

That said, she left the policy decision to me.

Plus Cyril, looking over at Mi, they shake their necks vertically too.

"I know I'm not calm right now. William, I'll leave you to it."

"So is Mi. William, please."

I will resume negotiations with Finola as I hear their words and snort.

"The amount of reward we ask for is twenty pieces of gold per day as the daily allowance for four people, plus two hundred pieces of gold separately as the reward for achieving the purpose. This is based on our strength and the size of the hostile forces, and we have offered what we think is appropriate. And if we decide that the danger to ourselves is immense, then let us get off this story. Even in this case, the daily allowance for the number of days already worked shall be demanded. ─ ─ I'm going to cooperate if this is a good condition, but what do you think?

Finola, listening to me, silences herself for a moment.

Then she asks questions about her own daughter.

"Lefania, these people deserve to be trusted for their strength and character, right?

"Yeah, Mother. Personality is guaranteed by me. I don't think his tale is a lie."

"Yes... ok. - William, was it? Then on that condition, I would like to ask you to cooperate with me. Regards."

Having said that, Finola stood up and asked me to shake her hand when she came before me.

I get up too, I get a handshake.

"We are going to do our utmost to lead to good results. Nice to meet you."

This is how we set foot in the battle against the elves and the orcs.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Princess Irene had received reports from one soldier at the Royal Castle in Graysburg, Wang capital, a courtyard training ground surrounded by walls.

"Yeah, Oak again?

Eileen gets that report and gives a voice that she's sick of it.

Now this was the third request for the removal of the oak only recently.

A princess who looks like a pretty girl in a silver-haired shortcut male outfit listens to a soldier's report as she wipes her hands and wipes her sweat as she gives a break to the four knight apprentices who were confronting her.

By its side, the cavalier apprentice boys, finally with the permission of rest, had fallen on the spot to collapse in unison and become big letters.

They were boys of Irene's age, but even the four of them were lightly embellished by one girl.

But this isn't the boys' weakness.

I encourage them to train day and night to become knights, and at this stage, I have the strength to be a soldier or more in general.

A princess named Irene is too strong.

She leaves the name of the Genius Swordsman wanting, but she's still developing, and her strength still doesn't see the ceiling.

To that genius and beautiful princess in men's clothes, the soldier continues to report in the face of tension.

"Ha, it's oak again! So now he wants the princess to go on a crusade..."

"I see, I get it. You're talking about your father, so you say you've been through everything, right? Copy that. I'll take care of it. Besides, if you're dealing with an orc, you're just the right person to train a knight apprentice."

That's what Eileen says, watching the four knight apprentices stretching out on the ground.

These opportunities must be actively exploited, because training alone does not nurture people, and it still takes real-life experience to raise the stage of strength.

"Well, it's hard to say, but the king told me one more thing."

"Hmm, from your father? What?"

"That's..." I feel very disturbing signs. Don't be alarmed. If you die off guard, I don't know. "

"Haha, you sound like your father. I guess that 'disturbing sign' is just a hunch anyway. -But I get it. Knight Eileen, please tell him you have my orders."

"Ha, I did!

The soldier, who finished contacting Eileen, gave a big salute before leaving the spot.

While confirming that, Eileen slaps her hands against the pampered four knight apprentices.

"Yes, that concludes the break. I'm going to an oak removal picnic. Get ready."

"" "─ Yes!

The Knight Apprentice boys get up trying to jump up in unison and reply well.

To them, Princess Irene was an admirable and, at the same time, a ghost instructor who should not be turned against.
