"...... You're doing a hell of a job, Mr. Alphonse. Are you sure you're okay?"

"You'll be fine. I've got plenty of excuses to explain to the Orientals, Kristina.

"...... When you say excuses, it means you know you're causing problems. I thought Alphonse would be more cautious, but he is such a bold boy. Maybe you should reconsider."

"Really?　Then maybe you should change your perception. I think I've been trying too hard to keep a low profile."

　We returned from the Purge to the new Barca Street.

　We have placed a few more mercenaries in the village where we first found the enemy, just in case there is any kind of movement in the Purge Town.

　And the rest of us brought back treasures and so on, towed by car.

　When I asked Kristina, who was an expert on the merchandise, about the appraisal of the treasures, she told me something like that.

　Apparently, in Kristina's mind, I was a cautious person.

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

　I wonder.

　I don't think I know my own personality.

　But it is true that lately I have been more cautious.

　Since I came to the Orient, I have basically been working to build this new Barca town.

　Since the number of mercenaries was small, I couldn't do anything too reckless.

　So I think we have been doing things other than fighting, such as collecting and educating orphans, recruiting mercenaries, building towns, and producing councilors.

　But that was not what I wanted to do.

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

　I did all of these things because they were necessary preparations for me to fight on the battlefield.

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

　And I think I'm getting ready for that.

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

　Then I guess it's time to take action.

　The fight is waiting for me.

"You don't have to be so radical.　You're already strong, Alphonse, and I think you could be rich just by making and selling all kinds of things in this town, don't you?"

"That's not good enough. That's no good. I'll never beat you guys. I have to grow up stronger and bigger to beat you."

"No. I've never met you, Alphonse, but I can see that your brothers really had a big influence on you. But, well... They're kings, aren't they? Hmmm..."

　Kristina is giving me a difficult look when she hears what I said.

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

　But only Ars is a king, and Bite and Kyle are nobles, so it's a little different.

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

　As I correct her, a lot of thoughts are going through my mind.

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

　As I said to Kristina, my behavior this time may look very different from what I have done before.

　In my mind, it was a given that I would go into battle sooner or later, but I wonder if that would not be the case for others.

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

　And it's a bit annoying to be told that by people around me.

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

　This time, I use the security of the village as a reason for fighting in the Purge town.

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

　That will not change.

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

　However, it might be better to have some other fighting methods that can be used universally in the future.

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

　I think it would be better to have something that has nothing to do with the Orient or its councils.

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

　If the matter is pointed out to them, and if they cancel the job of guarding the village, it would be better to have a good reason for it.

"Oh, I wonder if you're thinking of some kind of a terrible trick right now...?"

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

"No, no, no, I'm not thinking of such a scheme. What are you talking about?

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

"Yes. Because you just made a very bad face, Mr. Alphonse. It would have been childish if it had been a prank, but in Alphonse's case it wasn't."

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

"I was just thinking about the future. I was wondering how I could have a reason to fight anytime, anywhere."

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

"...... is a... That's not what I want to hear. But I can't help it. What are you going to do about it?"

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

"Oh, will you listen to me?　I was thinking of ways to intervene in a battle anywhere, anytime. How about helping people?"

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

"...... Helping people?　What do you mean?　Why are you fighting to help people?"

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

We, the Barka Mercenaries, are a group of people who fight for money. That means that our employers are not limited to the Orient. We may accept work from anyone, anywhere. So, if there is someone in trouble who needs our help, we will be there for them. Of course, the way to help them is to fight, like a mercenary group.

"...... sorry. I have no idea what you mean. I mean, what do you mean outside of the Orient?　Who are you taking requests to help people?"

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

"Let's keep a wide berth. I'm a man who asks God for help.

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

"No. I have no idea what you're talking about. Please explain it more clearly and concisely, Mr. Alphonse.

　As I spoke my idea, Kristina said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do.

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

　I may have said too much in my conclusion.

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

　With that in mind, I began to explain to Kristina about the future plan I had just come up with.
