"Dad are you kidding me!"
Before my side of the speech had even started, Samesh's side was already pounding the table straight away.
"I'm only 19 years old... not yet... not yet..."
"Not old enough to get married? Don't be ridiculous, the Empire starts entering the social scene at sixteen for both men and women, and you think you can escape everything just because you ran away from home four years ago?"
"But I..."
"Stop it, you've been out there for four years, who knows what happened to you? You know what those guys said about you? 'She-wolf!' I'm glad you didn't bring back a wild seed!"
"How could it be! I'm not such an unethical person!"
"I hope so!"
"Ahem!"
I coughed twice.
"Ah..."
Jens looked to me with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry for being rude, and for letting Fili you see the scandal of our family..."
"Please don't mind Lord Jens, we're not paying attention in the slightest, I'm just drinking water."
I continued to take a sip of my tea and then continued.
"Okay, we're not joking anymore. Lord Jens, let's get straight to the point, you were hoping...I'd become one of your men, weren't you?"
"Hahaha, it's just as others have said, you're a person who likes to speak directly, and that kind of straightforwardness is very rare nowadays."
"In my opinion, it's not a good character."
"No, no, no, talking less nonsense reduces the likelihood of wasting time on some level, and I appreciate that. Why don't I have some people who talk less bullshit and do more?"
Because talking crap isn't going to do me any good, either I can get the information from your title or I don't need to know it.
"Yeah, but...as a relatively low profile person, I don't want to get overly involved in something that would be hard to get out of once I'm involved, and personally I'm more of a free spirit. So..."
"Oooooh, don't be so quick to say no, think harder, maybe you'll change your mind."
"No, I'm not refusing, I'm not joining you, or the country's army straight away, but you can tell me some of the...trickier tasks, and I, will choose the ones in there that I want to do to complete them, don't you think?"
"...more covert?"
"More concealed yes."
"Good!"
I didn't expect the other guy to even think about it, and it looked like he was happy with it or... expected it?
Interesting, it looks like this guy is a bit more powerful than I thought, and it's never going to be easy to deal with him. "
At least for now, it wasn't an easy task.
"Well then, this first task... is to join the [Red Rose] mercenary group as an advisor, the most important thing you have to do is... to protect my daughter from doing anything stupid, especially something life threatening. "
"It's..."
I looked to Samesh, and the other stood up at the same time.
"Even if you're my father there's no reason to send anyone inside my mercenary group!"
"Or are you not going to ask for funding this year? 5,000 gold coins is more than enough!"
"I..."
The other was suddenly speechless, and then looked at me silently.
I shrugged, but at the same time I folded a small piece of freshly written paper and threw it at her.
"I take it you want me to do more than that?"
I turned Jens' attention to my side.
"Yes, at the same time, you will have to report back to me on what my daughter is doing, after all, there are many things I will have to consider the implications of from now on. As much as I'd like to force my daughter to stay...I know she'll try to escape by any means possible given her personality, I'd be better off letting her go free than that, but I'll have to keep an eye on her compared to before."
"Is that so...what do you think, Miss Samesh?"
"...okay."
The other looked up at me and nodded.
"But that's the limit, and I won't allow any other conditions!"
"Oh, like making her your husband or something?"
"Father! Please don't joke about it!"
"Hey...well, say it again."
The other sighed and shook his head sadly.
"So let's..."
Just as he was about to continue saying something, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Really, why at this hour..."
Jens' face was unhappy, but he pressed the switch at his side.
"Lord Jens!"
As soon as the door opened, I saw a man in a black plate armor suit walk right in.
He had a scar on the side of his face, but no stitches, so it looked like an abrasion.
I saw him come in and go straight to Jens' side and say something in his ear.
The other man's face changed several times in a row, then immediately stood up.
"Sorry, you guys go on, I have some things to do."
"What happened what was it? Is there anything we can do for you?"
"...Let's not rely on the mercenaries this time, I want our citizens to know that we are capable of protecting them! "
"Are the beasts attacking?"
"Well, this time, it's two bird-shaped beasts and one sub-dragon type beast, so without further ado, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he and the man left the room quickly.
I looked over at Samesh, then I noticed she was looking at me too.
"Come on, Miss Samesh, I think your group is waiting for you. "
"That's right... Well, for now you'll stay by my side as my assistant, but you..."
"No, no, no, that would be too much trouble, wouldn't you say, Alicia."
"Well, I thought you didn't see me."
A piece of the ceiling suddenly opened and Alicia in her normal form jumped down from the ceiling, two white ponytails flicking in the air.
"Alicia, how did you...?"
"Probably worried about you so I came over to check it out, and I have a new proposal at the same time."
I smiled and looked at Samesh.
"How about making me Alia's assistant? It's so good that we know each other."
"It's..."
Next to her, Aria nodded agreeably instead.
"Alright... that's it then. Let's go, we still have to take care of the beasts."
"Well, yeah."
Looks like there's more interesting things about to happen. I smiled at the new information that appeared above the hint bar.
Looking at the information, I touched the sky.
World Sauce...what strange game did you think of again...or is a game that is beyond our expectations about to start?

Monthly tickets, praise, please.
Samesh: She is known as [she-wolf] in the Imperial noble circle, and although she is ridiculed by most of the nobles, there are some female nobles who have a high opinion of her.
Jens: The conservative aristocrat who has taken everything from the Duke's family with brutal methods, but has little choice but to try to control his daughter while trying to suppress unfavorable opinions of his family among the nobility.
