Stables co-located outside in mercenary guild buildings.
Earlier this morning there were merchants yelling at the mercenary guild reception.
"What the hell can I do for you?
"I didn't expect you to come here after you put us in this place and prepared us to leave."
After all, the merchants who thought they were going to pay damages.
After that, an Alliance official came to the place where he thought he would just protest at the reception in an effort to withdraw as much money as possible.
'Thank you for waiting. We found something for your escort, so please be ready and come to our guild stables'
I said out.
Hearing that, the merchants looked at each other.
You sure you got an escort? Are you sure about that and that escort's arm?
Those two bothered me. Especially the latter.
The idea that we didn't just gather E-rank or D-rank mercenaries passed the merchants' heads.
Even if they were escorted by those with only a little more strength than the newcomers, they seemed worried that the goods and their lives could be protected.
I thought that the other side would have gathered more than that in some way, and most of the merchants left the guild and went back to their own merchants.
Some of them were stuffed by the official because they were not convinced by the official's explanation, but when the official also heard him just tell them to say so from above, he stopped stuffing and went back to his merchant squad.
And to this day.
The merchants waited for the guild gentlemen to arrive, connecting the warcraft used in their own merchants to the stables.
Tens of minutes to wait.
We saw the Alliance's staff coming to us.
"Whoa, are you finally here?... yeah?
"Whoa. What's this all about?
The merchants doubted their eyes.
Because there's only one Alliance employee.
After all, I thought I'd bring the mercenaries I prepared at the guild, but I'm not here for any reason.
Seeing that, the merchants raised their anger.
"What's this all about?"
"How come we don't have an escort when we say we're ready, just like you said?"
"No way, are you going to say the right thing and not pay the compensation?
When one of the merchants says so, the other merchants also say, "Really?" or "Bring the Alliance Master!," he said.
"Shh, wait a minute. The Alliance Master is coming right now, so please wait a little longer."
Officials tried to forgive the merchants, but what they perceived was water on the burning stone.
"Then call me soon."
"You must have really prepared an escort? Otherwise, it won't be free."
The merchants are stalking the staff.
"Oh man, it's just a little late to come, I didn't know it was so noisy"
Gimlet, the Alliance Master of the Mercenary Alliance, came after a heavy sigh of sighing that said no treatment.
When the merchants hear the voice of Gimlet, they turn their faces to the one who heard it.
And we all looked equally surprised.
Behind the gimlet was a ghost tribe boy with pale silver hair.
Why, watching as the ghost child goes behind the guild master, behind the boy, the beast man of the rabbit and two human women follow the boy.
We both wear made-up clothes, so I expected it to be the boy's maid, apparently.
But at the same time, everyone thought,
((Why is there a boy here?
The merchants say listen to someone with their eyes, but no one will listen.
Lewie and Gimlet were talking while we had that exchange.
"Is this everyone?
"Oh, not the merchants who asked our guild to escort us."
"Uh-huh.... less than I thought."
"Don't you think there are forty of them?
"Honestly, I thought there was more"
"How long did you think I'd be here?
"... nearly a hundred people"
"That's not enough for Red Crow and the others."
"When they say that, they do, don't they?"
Gimlet and Lewie were swallowing conversations.
Listening to such conversations, the merchants became anxious.
"Oh, by the way, where are the escorts?
That's what one of the merchants has asked.
"That's right. I can't see the shadows or the shapes of a guard."
"Maybe you couldn't really have prepared an escort?
"Then we should just pay the damages"
"That's right. If you can't, we have an idea."
Credit is more important to mercenaries than their lives.
It's easy for us to lose that credibility.
All I'm saying is that, the merchants see Gimlet.
"Well, wait. I'll call you right now, so why don't you wait a little while?"
"Yeah? Call?
I wondered if they were in the guild now, but if so, they would show themselves when they came to the stables and with the Gimlets.
I thought you were going to mislead me by saying the right thing.
"Okay, Lewie. Don't ask me."
"Yes."
Lewie nodded at Gimlet's words.
"Sooo,... White Aerial Mobile Armored Corps"
That's what Lewie screamed, a little bit.
Buuuuuuuuu!
Something flew in with the sound of And he came down beside Lewie.
Something flew through the sky, do-scene! landed on the ground with a flashy noise that
That caused the dust to rise.
Those on the spot meditate their eyes on the rising dust.
Eventually, the dust stopped, so the merchants who open their eyes.
And when we saw what appeared before we opened our eyes, we doubted our own eyes.
There was a metallic shell-armored, man-shaped golem beside Lewie.
"" "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. ⁉" "
The merchants were peeling at the golems beside Lewi.
With all those amazing merchants on his ass, Lewie talks to Golem.
"Bye, yacht elves. I'm sorry, but they split up into detachments and escort the merchants. When you're done, come back to this city."
"Yavor. Minehel"
Merchants surprised that the yacht elves replied.
"Oh, the golem spoke ⁉"
"Su, wow"
When I saw the yacht elves in front of me, the merchants played the Abacus in their heads.
(If you get these golems, you don't even need an escort)
(Plus, you won't need to pay for food and drink to escort. Besides, from the current conversation, you seem to have the intelligence to understand the story)
(Do you mean you can follow simple orders? this is a good deal)
(Later, how cheap to buy from a boy like this Lewie, the owner of these golems)
(Well, if you don't sell it, if it hurts, you'll sell it)
(And this boy. It looks good, so if you cheat after buying the golem, enslave it and sell it off, you might sell it for a pretty high price)
The merchants saw the yacht elves and Lewie with evil thoughts.
You notice that gaze, Gimlet approaches the merchants.
And talk in a whisper.
"I won't say anything bad, so stop hanging on that Lewie guy."
"Ho? Why?"
"That boy is the son of a massacrer."
The moment I heard Gimlet's words. The merchants blued their faces.
"... aren't you lying?
"I'm not lying. Besides, I got some information earlier. Digoku, the current director of Eight Bundles of Tissues, is coming to see Lewi."
Hearing that, the merchants made their faces snap.
Eight Bunches of Tibians.
A group of mercenaries said to be the strongest on this continent.
Its strength is even said to destroy the country. The first general director of the mercenary group is Habaki.
And the current general director, Digok, is the man who was said to be Habaki's right arm about the 'massacrer'.
The fact that the man came to this city to see Lewie increased the credibility that the boy named Lewie was a 'slaughterer' child.
"For once, I tell you, if Lewie does something to make you look down on me, the Nora Mercenary Guild will be cut off from you."
Listening to Gimlet's declaration of insulation, the merchants drank their saliva and nodded cocklessly, doing it somewhere immediately to the idea that was floating in their heads.
Then, using the yacht elves prepared by Lewie as escorts, the merchants went to business with the goods they had purchased.
