"Okay. I'll make sure it's clean.

I'm on it. Okay, I'm off.

"Yes, sir. Take care. Good luck.

　The church in the village of Barca with an altar where the rite of succession could be performed.

　I decided to ask Hannah to take care of it in my and Elvis' absence.

　I had been wondering who should be in charge of the church, which has become one of the most important facilities in the village, but I thought that Hannah, who usually prayed to the ice-absorbing stone statues, would be fine with it.

　However, there are no weddings that often in this village, so I would ask her to go to the church when she has time to clean.

　Basically, like the other children, Ai would be teaching her how to study.

　I leave the village, leaving Hannah in charge.

　It has been a long time since I have been on the battlefield on business as a mercenary.

It's been a long time, Oliva. Thank you for the other day. Thanks to Oliva, more and more people in our village are getting married.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Alphonse. Well, that's good to hear. It's been a long time. Running around from brothel to brothel in the Orient. I'm glad to hear that it was worth it.

　After leaving the village of Barca, we joined the army of the Orient and moved on.

　It seems that we are heading for the villages near the border, where we have heard that other countries have been bothering us.

　On the way, we talk with Oliva.

　Oliva has been a great help to me.

　She heard my request, which I had no information about, and put together a plan for me to take in a number of high-class prostitutes.

　In fact, it was quite a task.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oliva has told me many times how difficult it was.

"Well, I may ask you to do something similar again sometime soon, so please let me know if you do.

"What?　Are you serious?　Are you going to take on another high-class prostitute?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. We had a hundred women come last time, but there are more mercenaries in our village. Some of them aren't married and we still don't have enough women.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, but don't we have to stick to high-class prostitutes?　It should not be cheap. Last time, the whorehouses made some concessions, thanks in part to the efforts of the council. There's a possibility that the next time around, the price of the subcontract will be a little higher.

"I don't mind. I don't mind if we take fewer people next time. It's also to encourage the mercenaries to work harder, so I don't mind spending a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. That's a great way to spend money. Most mercenary companies don't do that. At most, they go to a whorehouse after a battle. Well, all right. It doesn't sound like it's something you want to do right now, so please talk to me about it then. I'll take care of it.

"Thank you. That helps."

　I'll talk to Oliva and let her know that I may ask her to do the job again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I may be asked again to take care of high-class prostitutes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oliva was surprised to hear that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Certainly, it is not a usual practice to take on a prostitute so many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number of prostitutes who could be taken in should have been reduced by having gathered a hundred at once last time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I do not think that there are none at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will continue to take on prostitutes from time to time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the martial arts competitions and the fairs were quite well-received.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to do it again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if it would be enough to take on ten or so next time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to have a few high-profile women come to the next event, and I hope that the mercenaries will be more devoted to their work.

　Or rather, some of those who could not get married are asking me to bring in more women as soon as possible.

　The village's finances are running smoothly so far, though it's not enough, so I'll grant the mercenaries' wishes as long as it's not too much to ask.

"Excuse me, sir. May I have a word?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Who's there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While we were talking, a voice called out to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Who could it be?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turned around and saw a young man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Who could it be?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know him.

"Excuse me. My name is Zen. I'm a mercenary.

Alphonse Barca. I'm Alphonse Barca, also a mercenary and the leader of the Barca mercenaries. Nice to meet you, Zen.

Nice to meet you.

"So, what can I do for you?　Have we met before?"

"I saw you at the battlefield last year. I saw you at the battlefield last year, but I haven't talked to you directly. I have heard rumors about the Barka Mercenaries for some time. I'd like to have a talk with the leader of the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Okay. I'm also a little curious about what kind of rumors you've heard, and there should be a break in the trip soon, so why don't we have dinner there together?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I will be happy to join you."

　He is a mercenary of about 20 years old.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His name is Zen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Zen approached me, there were some people looking at me anxiously in the distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe they were fellow mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They didn't seem to think of me as a child and underestimate me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe we can exchange some information as fellow mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this thought in mind, I made a promise to talk with Zen over dinner during the next break.
