“Thank you for the relief. That was really helpful, Lord Alphonse."

"No, I'm glad Biden-sama is safe." Is the damage to the town great? "

"That's right, I don't think there are many of them." Even in winter, food is tough, but the amount we consume to protect the city is huge. Nevertheless, it is fortunate that so many people have been able to stay safe. Thank you. ”

“That's fine. Now that you've gone through the steps, can I talk to you about the reward? Since I worked as a mercenary, I have to get what I can get."

"Of course I do." But I heard about exchanging money with a magic bracelet, but as you can see, I can't understand one thing that I'm not familiar with in an old bone. Therefore, I would like to leave the compensation and other matters to him. "

A gate was opened in the town of Biden, which was surrounded by walls and defended.

They must have found out that the battle was over.

As they cross the open gate, the people of the city who would have fought before raise their hands and cheer.

It would be a very welcome place.

In that way, I reunited with the face I had never seen before.

An old man named Biden.

Jump from the riding Valkyrie and unlock the Blood Armor made with the Demon Sword Norn.

My armor is made of my own blood, and it's about the size of an adult male.

In short, he's wearing the same armor as the bloodthirsty Norn, just like the other mercenaries' red armor.

My childhood armor made me move without any problems, thanks to Norn's help.

The people of the town were surprised to see that the armor of such an adult body had disappeared in an instant and that I was smaller than the armor from inside.

But Biden was surprised for a moment, but he quickly regained his coolness and thanked me.

Isn't it amazing to be able to cope without being a wolf at a time like this?

However, I may not have been able to follow the contents of the arrow sent by me.

The church was set up with permission right away, but he says he doesn't know about the bracelet.

It was the young man who came forward instead of Biden.

The other guys are a little more pastoral or relaxed, but the young man seems to be named Lambda.

Talk to the lambda.

“Is this conversion to Vulcan absolutely necessary?”

“I see. Could there be any other particular church in this town that would be the center of the faith?”

“No, there's nothing like a church, but most of them are grateful and awe-inspiring to the gods of the mountains.”

The god of the mountains?

"Yes, I believe that there are other gods besides monsters on the summit that protect people." And thanks to that god, this town has been safe for a long time, so we continue to be grateful for the mountains every day. ”

"I see. Is it mountain faith or something?" It's a different faith than the Kowloon Plains. Well, I don't mean to abandon it right now, but I would like the people of the town to accept the Church of Barca. At least those who use magic should know the teachings of Vulcan. Otherwise, you will be judged for abusing magic. "

"... I can't help it." Now that the magicians have attacked us, we know we need to deal with them. From what I've heard, it seems that restrictions will be placed on the use of magic throughout the town? ”

"Exactly. You will perform the ceremony in the Barca Church and you will be vowed. This will also limit your magic."

Could it be the next candidate for mayor?

I think I know a little bit about the rituals in the Barca church.

That's why the conversation moves on pretty quickly.

At first, I thought that people would not be able to convert people to unknown religions or anything, but it seemed like they would accept it for a price from the viewpoint of maintaining security.

After that, we'll talk about the details and decide on the reward.

"It was said that all the people in the town would bear the money, but isn't that unrealistic? There are a lot of people out there who can't pay."

“Don't worry, you can pay in instalments.”

Is it a installment?

"That's right. You'll have to split the amount of money spent on the rescue request among the townsfolk and pay each of them." But I think some people don't have the money, as Lambda said. Therefore, let's set a fixed amount at a fixed monthly rate. Setting the limit to a small amount should make it easier for you to pay. ”

"... hey, you mean you can pay this amount every month?" I see. Can we do something about this? Indeed, I've heard from the merchants that the Church of Barca spins its work and buys magic stones so that the people of the city can earn money, right? ”

"Of course, magic stones are in high demand, so you can buy them for a good price for the time being." It's okay if you use the money from the magic stone to pay for it. "

“Okay, then we can all pay without a burden. Now, please pay in instalments with that magic bracelet.”

Hmm.

It sounded sharp, but I accepted it because I lived in a mountain like this.

These are the conditions I've offered you this time, but if they're true, I think you should check them a little bit more.

Because more than splitting, interest will accrue.

You can make a small monthly payment, but most of it will pay back the interest.

In other words, the principal of the payment to the Vulcan mercenary group is not easily reduced, but Lambda is not aware of it.

I might be able to make as much money as I could pay by buying magic stones, but it would be much more than a lump sum, but other than the lambda I was listening to, I nodded happily.

Looks like you could make a lot of money on this.

Outside of this town, let's pay the reward in instalments and accumulate interest.

With that in mind, the two of them signed a firm agreement.
