"Christina, you said you'd do anything right now.
"Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I told you. But would you give me a break for asking me to die here?"
"That's not what I'm saying. I need you to listen to me for a second. If you'd like to hear that, would you mind thinking about what's here?
"Really? Okay. Let me hear it, Mr. Alphonse."
A Barca mercenary group that quickly destroyed the bandits.
The mercenary regiment is being organized by a boy named Alphonse, who is now in my sight.
Small.
He's really still a cute kid.
Yet this child is unbelievably strong.
I fought and overwhelmed the Bandit's Special Weapon opponent without any frustration.
I wasn't sure what I was doing because I was moving too fast, but I found that strength wasn't just about being powerful.
I think that is largely due to the technology that I have acquired with a good education.
It was clearly different from the other party.
I've been able to talk to Alphonse since I met him on the move, but there's still a lot I don't know.
What the hell is this kid?
These mountains, called spiritual peaks, can never be crossed.
They say he came from a country beyond that spiritual peak, and his real brother is king there.
Legend has it that spiritual peaks are also mountains inhabited by God, and mountains of death.
In addition, it seems that there are still horrible monsters living there.
I said to the king's brother in the land of the devil, "I will do anything."
Are you all right?
I can't stop thinking that I've said something terrible.
Besides, I have a hunch as a merchant.
She said she should continue to have connections with her.
Well, from now on, Christina, you're all mine.
"... eh? Exclusive?"
"Yes, the Vulcan Mercenaries, they have me and Elvis and Ian, right? It's still small, but I think we can probably do a lot of fighting. But I'm a little worried about running a mercenary regiment. So I want you to help me, Christina, the merchant."
"I mean, what should I do, Mr. Alphonse?
"Come with us. So, food, equipment, and clothing? It would be helpful if you could buy such consumables as cheaply as possible. Look, I can't read or write letters about the mercenaries at home. Somebody wanted someone who could do that. Merchant Christina would be better suited to do it than Sula and Eye. I don't think so.
"I'll do it, Alphonse. Let me do it."
I can't refuse.
At your request, Alphonse, I immediately accepted. [M]
Though an ungrateful mercenary group, it is the exclusive merchant of a boy who draws special blood.
I am only a merchant who goes to the foot of the spiritual peak in such a role, and I will never have the opportunity to follow it again.
We can't miss this plane.
"Ah, good. You were advised by your brother Ars, right? Get along with the merchant. I'm glad we found someone like Uncle Trion who could take care of the money."
"Mr. Trion is a merchant?
"He was originally a peddler. I know my brother Ars, and now I'm in charge of finance in the Sky Kingdom."
"Wow. It's amazing how much the king trusts a peddler to do his job in the country. All right, Mr. Alphonse. I'm going to be your trusted partner, Alphonse, so I can't beat him."
"Really? I'm glad. You're expecting that word, Christina. Now, let's get the luggage back here. Everyone, gather what's in this bandit hub."
Invite the peddler to the centre of the country.
I wonder if there really is such a king.
But when I looked next to Alphonse, there was Elvis.
I have heard that this person was originally a peasant.
Sura was the one who told me, and I'm sure she told me.
Even a peasant, he entered the army and was entrusted with flying castles by winning the king's trust.
Combined with the story of the merchant, I think that the king of Ars sees people more than his family.
Of course, it is also important that we have strength.
However, I thought perhaps you liked the more important point of "not betraying".
I have been appointed to executive positions because I swear absolute loyalty and do not betray the king.
And maybe that's the same with Alphonse.
This child will not have trusted me yet.
A convenient opponent who can be truncated at any time if anything happens.
But I must have cut this story off thinking that if I brought in a merchant named me, who does have his own business partner, it could be a good deal.
When this happens, it's a generation of big hits.
I have no idea what will happen to this mercenary regiment.
However, there is a good chance that it will grow.
Like this little commander, I feel the possibility of getting bigger and bigger.
Anything wins his trust, and I work to make this mercenary army bigger.
I'm sure that way, we'll have a future that we've never thought about in our lives.
More than when the bandits attacked me and ran for my life, my chest was roaring loudly.
"I'll do my best. I'm counting on your trust, Alphonse."
That's what I told Alphonse, thinking about the future.
