"Long time no see, Zen."
"Walter. I heard you joined the Vulcan Mercenaries.How's it going? "
"Fine, but we're always training here. I'm sick of it every day."
A new arrival in this city, Zen.
The Zen is talking to Walter.
Walter used to come here to recruit Vulcan mercenaries, and I passed.
It has a lot of original magic and is stronger than ordinary people, but the training is still tough.
I'm sure Elvis is working hard.
"You two know each other?"
"Do I know you or are you a mercenary?Walter's been a reputable mercenary for a long time, so I think I know him better. "
"I've come from Zen to take the entrance exam for this Balkan mercenary regiment, Captain.Quite a lot of people took the exam out loud. "
"Oh, I see. I asked Zen to advertise."
It seems that Zen and Walter know each other better than they know each other well.
It's not like they were working together, but they have a subtle sense of companionship as people who do the same work.
Mercenaries will share information with other mercenaries when they go to battle.
He's always talking about which employer is good or bad, so he seems to have some kind of relationship.
They seem to know each other like that.
"Well, no, it's work, Walter."
"Roger that. Where are you headed, Commander?"
It's a ghetto in Orient Country.
"Neighborhood? You're not fighting another country, are you going to Orient? Why again?"
"Recently, I rescued a child.But there was information that the rescued kid was taken again.We're going to rescue it again. "
"Ah, speaking of which, you've heard of the rabbit ear child entering the Balkan palace recently.I see. Are there any other children with beast ears?But why didn't you bring him here the first time you saved him? "
"Of course. To gather more beast blood that might be there."
Walter now works for the Mercenary Corps.
He was new, but he quickly became Squad Leader because of the amount of magic, so he was in a position to command 25 soldiers.
The Walter Squad is here.
I'm going back to Orient with this squad.
That's because I heard about another kid who was rescued with me when I rescued Meetya and Yuri.
Last time, he would have defeated all those who were there, so there would be others who would trade in beast blood.
We're going to help them.
"Well, when Yuri was there, she just prioritized the rescue.Commander Alphonse has a strange bird called a tracking bird.So no matter how many times they grab another kid, they can chase him? "
"That's the thing, Zen. I can't escape the tracking bird. Nobody."
I asked Laura to gather the beast's blood.
But there was another way to collect it.
It's fishing.
I was trying to catch a clue from a kid in the ghetto.
Those who draw the blood of the Beast are taken away and sold because they are rare.
However, taking someone with a sudden unusual characteristic would not normally sell that easily.
You have to be connected to someone who has connections to sell.
But last time, I couldn't afford to look into the connection.
Because I was on my way to rescue Meatier.
Norun and Valkyrie were basically alone, so I couldn't afford to hear from the men who were there.
So I decided to throw out other kidnappers who might be in the ghetto.
All the children who helped with Meetings and Yuri live in the ghetto.
We delivered all the children to their homes, but in any case they were more likely to be seized than they were in the favela.
I dared to leave them in such a dangerous place because I was waiting for them to be taken away again.
Use the tracking bird to find out where it was taken.
There may be others there who will draw the blood of the Beast.
Alternatively, those kidnappers might find an intermediary with a handler to sell to a perverted hobbyist.
To get that information, I'm heading to the Orient Nation ghetto with Walter Squad.
I'll take people with me this time, so I'll have room for a little more research.
When I heard that, Zen said he would go with me, so I will allow it.
So I led the mercenaries back to the ghetto with the tracking birds leading me.
