Haroon

The barracks where the storm troopers are staying are overflowing with people.

The seven princes, the four princesses, and the group of 11 sent behind them.

Harun asked them politely for their understanding.

"I'm not in the mood for a quest right now. I know what you're going to say to us.

So if you come back tomorrow as soon as it's light, I will fulfill the quest with all my heart. "

The nobles sent by the Crown Prince have refused their visit in such a way as this.

I was angry with, but I couldn't do anything against his grief.

In fact, even those who came at this late hour were out of practice. Realistically Elves

Harun, the only one who can come into contact with, now has the weight to make him a mercenary.

It's become incredibly heavy.

"Very well. I'll see you again first thing tomorrow."

"Thank you for your understanding. Despite this, I want to thank you for your generosity.

I'll think about it. "

I didn't have anything else to say after coming out like this. Everyone just needs to loosen up a little bit and get back to their faces.

It wasn't there.

Harun greets the Avan girl and the Valts and the rest of the group.

They didn't take an easy step as if they had something to say, but Harun's.

His attitude was firm.

As people left, I had time to properly share the aftermath with Debron.

"Haha, I got into the gale mercenary and this guy's face lit up."

"What happened to you? Why is your face so sad?"

Debron already holds Tino's moistened hand and smiles lovingly. Compared to before

His face became softer, but his wrinkles became more and his eyes became deeper. It's good to see you.

You tapped Tino on the shoulder.

Harun's eyes widened as he looked at the reunion of the two men. I have never experienced

I was envious and moved by the two people who were deeply in love.

"Oh no, many people don't know. Captain Harun, would you introduce me, please?"

"Of course I do. Have a seat by the fire."

Hani, who is quick to notice, is already preparing a hot, cold water.

Since the tea was boiled on the other side, an omelette with a subtle taste and aroma was soon prepared.

Harun suggested a car and introduced Debron first.

"This is a teacher to me and a father to the commander."

The position of the crew changed. The way he looked at Debron changed. Self

He who acknowledged and mourned Harun called himself a teacher. Of course I'm different.

I had to lose.

I've had a lot of visitors over the past few days, so I don't even have the attention of the crew.

D. The nobles who say it's hard to see, the knight captains and the high magicians in their barracks.

I wrote.

Devon greets them with a warm smile.

"Greetings. My name is Devron, and I am with Lady Briella."

It was an ordinary greeting, but the crew paid particular attention. Maybe it's because you think you're Harun's teacher.

Not a word, Debron is unseen.

"So, how have you been?"

After briefly introducing the crew, Harun asked a question.

"Haha. Well done. Been busy looking for mines. I did find a few……"

The blur at the end of the sentence must have made no difference. That's why his face was so damaged.

"It's been months since I entered the land of tranquility with mine technicians who have worked hard to find it.

There you go. For the time being, I've been traveling mostly around the Skyloop Mountains to the northwest. To the east is El.

I dared not venture in because it was the domain of the Phes. I was in a remote place, and the land of tranquility here was...

There have been reports recently that Dungeons have been discovered here because of the soil of Mana, where light communication is rarely possible.

I can only hear you. I ran to Buryburia, but there was no power at all, so the princess was very upset.

I'm appreciating it. "

Things got a little out of hand. That's why the Knights Hook are not here yet.

in the.

“Then where is the princess? ”

“He's back here with his knights. ”

“You haven't settled in yet? ”

“That……. ”

Debron twitches his eyebrows for a moment. The other princes, who had already brought the knights, took their place in front of the dungeon. However, Princess Briella came in a hurry with only a handful of knights, so it was difficult to get in between.

“Then we can make camp next to our mercenaries. You may not be aware of the situation since you just arrived. The Elves are making it impossible to target the dungeon at this time. So you don't have to be around dungeons. ”

“Is that so? Good. I was worried that it was a lot pushed from the inner force. ”

Devron thanks Harun for his consideration.

“Do you have enough supplies and equipment? ”

“That……. ”

Debron is once again a face of distress. The cloak he was wearing, the armor he was wearing, and the dirt and occasional messiness made him aware of the situation. Everything will be lacking.

“Tino, go say hello to the princess and deliver the goods. We have to go together, but we have customers... Ah! We have to fight in the barracks, so come with us. ”

I was going to fill Henie's curiosity with a special interest in the nobles of this world. It's a chance to meet the princess in the middle of nowhere.

“I understand.”

Tino, eager to see Briella, rises from his seat with a vigorous reply. Donnes and Hennie follow him. There was quite a pile of supplies in the barracks that other mercenaries brought as a gift to show their faces.

“Commander, I'll be outside. ”

“Yes. Thank you, Lord Dylan. ”

Dylan, who was inside to say hello when Debron came in, steps out again. The Abyss mercenaries are guarding the area of the storm, but someone has to stand guard in front of the barracks.

“Excellent crew. I got good people. ”

After Dylan's disappearance, Debron nods a while later. I recognized his skill at a glance.

“I see. They're good people.”

“You have virtue. Living to this age, people don't gather around to call people on purpose. ”

With Devron's words sounding lonely somewhere, Harun guesses the difficulties of his companion and the princess. It seems that people were the most troubled.

“When I arrived here, looking for the faces, I learned that your squadron of thundering mercenaries had a tremendous reputation. Did you just destroy Geratz mercenaries' taunt? ”

“Haha, you're lucky. Turns out there aren't many skillful recruits around here. in addition to being careless about our numbers and our skills. ”

“You don't have to be so modest about it. Those who wield the sword speak only of their skills. So, what's going on with the Empire Intelligence Guild? ”

Debron knew the true nature of the Geratz mercenaries. Harun briefly explained his disagreement with the Empire Information Guild because of the dungeons.

“Crazy things. You took good care of my hand. But don't underestimate their power. Nobody knows how far their hands and feet go. They're secretly stockpiling a lot of power. ”

Debron sincerely advised Harun and the gale mercenaries.

“I understand. I'm being careful not to. ”

But there wasn't much to worry about. The Abyss Mercenaries and Dakarin Mercenaries won't be able to taunt easily in a situation like this, surrounded by storm mercenaries.

“On the outside, it looks like they're looking for you on some force." ”

I thought I recognized the identity of the guests who visited this evening.

Harun details the current situation here, the Elves, and each force's strategy for the dungeon. As Debron, we have just arrived here, we have met Harun properly. That explanation has given me as much information as the other forces who have been here for a long time.

“Hmph. The fame of the storm didn't go unnoticed. How did you learn the language of the xenogens? ”

He seemed curious, too, but Harun had nothing to say to the question. You don't even know yourself.

“It just happened. They understand, they can't speak, so they're at least half of them. ”

“But somewhere along the way, I can't even talk to the Elves, so it makes sense for the thinkers to find you. ”

Tino came back as the two of them were talking.

“Commander, the barracks are clear. ”

“Have you packed enough supplies? ”

“Yes. I have plenty of fur, clothing and food. ”

You must have had a special relationship with Debron. From that point on, I thought it would be better to give them some time.

“Then I'll finish talking with the guests, and Tino is going to break it off with Devron. ”

Harun leaves the barracks with Tino's grateful eyes.

I came out and saw three new barracks that had never been beside the storm troopers. It was a large barracks and two barracks for five, and the light waved through the cloth to make sure it was burning up.

I felt better about the fact that I didn't have any special feelings for Princess Briella, but that it helped Debron think of her as a teacher. Even being a mercenary commander who had only been a nuisance for a while helped.

Harun glanced at the new barracks with satisfied eyes and then entered the barracks with his guests. It was awkward and uncomfortable because there was no owner, but those who kept silence looked back at him.

“I'm sorry. Someone I know personally came and left. ”

“We're fine. ”

Laltrel spoke on behalf of the guests. They also heard in the barracks that Harun sought forgiveness from those who came to him.

“As I said before, I don't think we're in a formal position right now. We need to make sure we're talking to the Elves first. ”

“I believe it will work. ”

“So are we. ”

The Dwarves and Elves are completely different, and I don't know what they believe, but they firmly believe Harun may be able to communicate with them. If not, it may be a strong hope considering the fact that it will be difficult to overcome this crisis.

“However, if you can communicate with the Elves, I will grant you the right to remain loyal. in some way. ”

That's all Harun can say right now. The basic premises have not yet been confirmed.

“No objections. ”

“So do we. ”

“We'll send someone to let you know the details once they're set up. Let's meet the Elves and talk about the rest. ”

Harun finished saying this and gave a toast to the people.

“Then I'll be back the day after tomorrow. ”

“Until then, we too will come. ”

Landrell and Earl Merolus leave the barracks. Landrell has not stripped off the armor of the Rump Orcs he was wearing. I almost liked it.

Harun escorts guests to the entrance. Dylan said a light goodbye to Landrell and settled on a big bonfire, just like any other time. I can't believe a nobleman became a mercenary, but Dylan, who deliberately killed the leader of the mercenary, was deeply respected.

Although the world experience was mild, I knew that this was not easy. If Debron was a spiritual teacher, Dylan was a virtually dependable being.

Dylan looks at the barracks where Debron and Tino are, curious to see Harun sitting next to him without entering the barracks.

“You must have had some sort of relationship with your youngest princess. ”

“Yes.”

Harun told me in detail about his relationship with Briela.

“You have been greatly blessed, my youngest princess. ”

“Neither. Because of that, I got my vision skill. ”

Dylan did not ask what the vision was. It's not a vision. Instead, I asked a different question.

“Who are you? ”

Maybe Debron's curious. However, Harun could not say anything about it unless he spoke about it in person.

“I don't know the details. We just know it's a blood relationship. ”

With that explanation, Dylan doesn't seem to be asking any more questions. It was a downward attitude.

“When are you going, anyway? ”

“I'm thinking of leaving in two days. I heard it's a small festival to commemorate the acquisition of a new residence on Gate Day. ”

Tomorrow, one day, I had to meet forces that I had not yet met. I was going to accept the request because there was no guarantee that I would be able to communicate with the Elves, but I was going to accept the request on condition that it was possible.

“This quest will be quite lucrative. ”

“I see. If the deal with the Elves goes well, I intend to strip it off." Especially the Empire Intelligence Guild. ”

When Harun smiles, Dylan also looks at him with a deep smile. Since you're a mercenary anyway and you're determined not to push a force in the Golden Battle, you should take it with you.

“But perhaps the dwarves will like it. There's too many people to go. ”

“I'm a little worried about that. ”

The Red Anvil tribe was worried about Humans who had powerful power not far from the Red Anvil because they interacted with Humans. It would be uncomfortable to have many humans as guests, even if you have to keep it a secret.

“I can't. I don't know if you can understand me, but I want to know for sure. ”

“Not really.”

Dylan understood the situation.

“Just a little more effort, then. I need to speak to Devon alone. ”

Harun, who got up from his seat, now heads to the barracks where his repentance would have been somewhat resolved.

Seeing Harun coming into the barracks, Tino's face is wet, and he seems to have overcrowded. Tino, who quickly wiped his face with his hands, got up and greeted him.

“Commander, I need a shift from Sir Dylan. It's late at night, but there may be others who will come. ”

“Very well. Let's talk then. ”

After Tino stole the snow from his sleeve, Harun left the barracks and headed for the new barracks he had built with Debron. There, Princess Briella was talking with Henny and Donnes. Seeing Briella in plain clothes, I felt pitiful for some reason.

This is what a Imperial princess looks like. It was a pity to wander around the mines with men starving without proper maids.

“I'm here to see Her Majesty. ”

“Oh! Welcome, Commander Harun. I've always wondered. ”

Briela greets Harun with a happy face. In the meantime, the princess also seemed to have suffered a little, but the overall atmosphere became more mature due to her growing up.

Henny and Donnes quietly leave the barracks with the ceremony as the daily conversation progresses.

After several more talks, Debron apologizes to Harun.

“The crew apologizes. ”

I think I've already heard the story from Tino. Or was contacted through a different route.

Harun shakes his hand.

“No, it was their choice. They might think it's caring about us. ”

“I heard you stopped raising mercenaries for that. Phew. It would have been a great strength for us if it had been your strength. Kids think too little. No, I made a mistake. If I had told them in detail in the letter, they wouldn't have done such a rash thing. I had no idea they were just trainees trapped in the middle of nowhere. I shouldn't have done that if I owe you so much. ”

Even Princess Briella was expressionless. It is the world here that the mistakes or faults of the undertakers are handed over to the Lord. I was a little taller than the last time I saw her, and I felt sorry for Briela's well-matured face.

“Don't worry too much. They had an idea, and you don't have to be sorry, because you don't know the consequences. ”

“If that's what you think, it's me. Anyway, I have nothing to say about that. ”

Thank you for telling me that. The nobles of this world are more authoritative than the Nobles of reality, and are often armed with absurd theories.

“So, you're going to Dwarf Village soon? ”

“Yes. I'm just checking if the quest is available. I was invited by Dwarves beforehand. I'm going to use them to arrange a position with the Elves. If we negotiate well, we'll be able to enter the dungeon without spilling any blood. ”

Despite Harun's answer, Debron's silence only opens his mouth after receiving Briela's eyes a few times.

“Phew. This is a humbling request, but if the story goes well, could you please let us in on the dungeon?" ”

I knew you'd say that. There was only Harun to rely on when the Knights of Hook and the other nobles had not arrived, and there had not been any change in power.

“Of course it is. I was already thinking that. ”

“Thank you.”

Debron thanked you several times with a heavy burden on his face. Of course, Princess Briella, who was comforted at my side, bowed herself with a bright face and thanked me.

“It's like this now, but things will get better when the knights, soldiers, and other knights stationed in the mines arrive soon. We're on the wallpaper, and it's late, so our orders haven't been relayed properly, but they should be. ”

“Of course I do. ”

“Then you must be tired. Rest now. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

It reminds me of the heavy fatigue on the face of Princess Briella. Perhaps he had heard the news of the dungeon late and was quite a vigilante.

“I'll see you tomorrow then. ”

The next morning was hectic. As soon as I finished eating, Mobius, who left early, brought another group of people.

He's been actively mobilizing with a squadron of storm troopers lately. Of course, the introduction fee he got for this would be enormous, whether it's money or other forms.

It's not a bad thing that more people who benefit from themselves become around them. Especially if it's the same lens.

“Commander, Earl Bayan has sent someone. ”

“Who is it?”

I hardly know Harun from the nobles of Beyond.

“A force belonging to the Supreme Council. Grand Duke Bayan is the brother of Duke Darian and represents the highest council of nobles here. ”

Mobius already knows the names, affiliations and factions of these nobles of the world.

“Is it the same thing? ”

In Harun's question, Mobius winks and nods.

“Maybe.”

“Let's meet. ”

Harun and Mobius moved to the next barracks. Inside, there are three men sitting on Orc leather chairs guided by Tino. Harun goes inside with Mobius, and they wake up.

“Harun, of the gale mercenaries. ”

“Greetings. I am Earl Alphonse of Barabbas. This is Selene Wizard, and this is Earl Bogott. ”

Earl Alphonse was quite young. Though he was only thirty years old, his deep, sharp eyes showed that his mind was not ordinary.

A wizard named Selene was a beautiful middle-aged woman with tight skin with no wrinkles. But I could feel the unpleasantness in her, too.

Bogotán appeared to be their escort knight, a peculiar figure whose age and stature were hard to calculate. Dylan stands beside Harun, staring at him with hot eyes. It means that Dylan is very interested, with a gaze he's only seen a few times.

Lord Dylan was a curious man. There's something in there. ’

“I'm Selene. I heard you're a famous hero, but you're a lot younger than I thought. I was impressed.”

“I'm Bogotran. I knew fame wasn't an exaggeration. ”

Selene's eyes are on Harun, and Bogotán's eyes are on Dylan. Selene is a wizard, so she probably has a special interest in Harun, who is rumored to be a spiritual warrior, and Bogotran has an interest in Dylan, who is extremely vigorous.

“Let's sit down. Henny.”

“Yes, the car is ready. ”

Hani, who is quick to notice, is already bringing out the Omicha. Earl Alfonso's eyes grew wide as he drank tea.

Hurrah.

“Wow, what an unusual taste and aroma. ”

Harun smiles at the reaction that is no different from the others who visited the storm.

“It's an Omicha with five aromas and flavors. ”

“Nice ride. I feel like it would be a nice meeting. ”

As soon as the first awkwardness melted away, the theme of Omicha continued.

“I hear a few have found the storm. Probably to negotiate with the Elves, right? ”

“It's true. That's why I've decided to go meet some dwarves who can arrange a meeting with the Elves soon. ”

“We'd like to join you. It's not an exclusive deal anyway, so why don't you give us a chance? ”

“There's nothing you can't do if you meet the conditions. However, I'm worried that the Imperial Intelligence Guild will not hold a grudge against us. ”

The supreme council was in serious conflict with the Senate. It was the Empire Information Guild that coordinated it. The High Council was also very close to the Imperial Intelligence Guild, although not as well as the Senate. You can trust Mobius because he still has information about the guild members there.

“This is not the eclipse. Moreover, the storm has already shown them its power, and it has what they do not have. Although there is a long-standing relationship, it is not their place to blame us. ”

His words were firm. It doesn't make sense for other forces to contact the Elves through Harun, but they are laying their hands on the Empire Information Guild.

“We don't know if you can communicate with the Elves yet, so we can't accept specific quests. If there are any of you who would like to come with us, you can come here the next morning. ”

“Very well. We will be accompanied by the Wizard Selene and Lord Bogott. ”

Selene stares at Harun with curious eyes. You seem to be thinking of finding out something to him about spirit magic during the journey. Bogotán's gaze has not left Dylan since he entered the barracks.

“Thank you for the good tea. Sure."

The three of them leave the barracks with their faces uncovered. It wasn't a formal quest, so there was no need to push and pull it, even though he was young but deep and old, Earl Alphonse didn't have to.

“I wanted to bump into him. ”

Dylan looks back at Bogotán. His eyes gleam sharply.

“Is that so? The Sword Master? ”

“Maybe. At least I feel like I'm growing beyond my reach. But you have to fight before you know it... ”

Dylan anticipates that Bogotán is a higher rank than he is, but doesn't break his speculation and his enthusiasm. It was natural for him to become a mercenary to compete with the world's strongest.

Harun is also somewhat aware of the strength of Bogotran. The same was true of Exporte, though more humble than Dylan. But if he can't feel any momentum with his eyes, he must be strong.

“This is going to be a fun trip. ”

“Haha! I think so. ”

Since then, the three princes who visited yesterday visited again. Of course, the matter was the same. Harun accepted their request on the condition that communication is possible. However, since we do not know the possibility at this time, we decided to determine the amount of the commission later.

The forces contracted with the storm had a condition to accompany a wizard and a knight, as if they had promised. The skills of such companions were not exceptional. Dylan, who likes to be strong, deserves to be welcomed.

The group's intentions are the same as the group's. Harun was very different from the other forces, so he did not charge them a commission. They were very fond of it. I couldn't think of anything else to do.

An unexpected guest came in late this afternoon. It was a group of drifters.

“Commander!”

Currently, when he saw Harun, there was something dull on his face. It was as if I had been separated for a long time and met my friends and family again. The currents rushed into his arms, but when I saw him, I stopped and called out in an emotional voice.

“You've been well.”

Her face looked healthy.

“Yes. In fact, I haven't been to this world very much in a while. It's not very fun... ”

Harun glances at her words. I don't know why it wasn't fun, but I felt like I was being empathetic to myself. Obviously, she was quite older than herself, but now she must look like a woman of similar age.

Suck!

At the same time, the currents shook at Harun's smile, which he hadn't seen much. In fact, Harun's impression on her chest was a strong and reliable man, although he was not particularly handsome except with deep and intense eyes.

He used to be expressionless and cold, but now he was a relaxed face that felt heavy and soft.

“The commander took care of it through Mobius, so we got here faster than we did when we left late. ”

“I'm glad.”

Currently, Harun felt sorry for Harun for taking his word for a short time. I felt like I was missing something. Probably the gap between the image she had in mind and Harun in reality during the time she hadn't seen.

“You've become more famous. ”

Even though Harun only smiled glancing, the currents sighed for a long time and calmed their throbbing chest. I'm sure it's NPC, but I can't figure out why my heart is so directed towards him. I couldn't really understand why he was so excited by the way he smiled at her.

‘Tsk! I wish Captain Harun was the one. ’

She was the eldest daughter of a self-made entrepreneur, but I was excited to think of Harun strangely. It was always lonely and sad because there was a natural limit, but it was good.

“Yes, have you heard about this place? ”

“Yes. My acquaintances got here first. I've already heard about it in my world. ”

Harun nods and looks behind her. The monk who was accompanying her was terribly focused on the barracks next door. Mobius stayed there. When the current group arrived, he appeared briefly to greet them.

‘I haven't cleared my mind. Is it affection? "

I don't know what love is or what affection is, but judging by the prestigious attitude of Mobius, my heart still seems to be no different from before. I was betrayed, not betrayed, but I felt heartbroken seeing him in my heart.

“You need a grimoire, don't you? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

When Harun asked, the current answered without hesitation.

“I don't know if you know this, but the life of the global barrier that protects our world is very short. We need knowledge and skills about new energy generation facilities that can sustain the barrier, but those precious things have been missing for a long time. So we need a new kind of power to deal effectively with mutants outside the barrier. To survive in our world in the future, there is an absolute new power and skill to use it. ”

Of course, Harun knows that.

Advanced capsules allow you to use passive skills learned in this Beyond to some extent in reality. Re-educating the skills engraved on the brain as well as on the nerve and muscle cells in reality will give you the power to deal with mutant creatures.

In addition, some of the magic books here at the dungeon include one that strengthens the body to adapt to the contaminated environment outside the barrier and one that can use a new kind of power called psychic energy in reality.

“Will you help me? ”

He had a deep smile on the face of the currents looking at him. As if I have no doubt at all. I think I know a little now why I treat him like this, but on the one hand I don't understand.

Avatars that users have when contemplating this world are bodies without genital thumbs. It is very rare to treat NPCs like flow-through because it is impossible to have sex and it is known that other NPCs are a kind of program.

Of course, some of those rare cases include Harun. He also once had a crush on the hall. Not only that, Harun was a strange creature because he felt something special about Azman in reality.

“I'd like to see the elves first. I don't know what to say yet because I don't know if I can understand their language. ”

“Thank you.”

Curren gladly smiled as if he had accepted Harun's refusal.

“If you ever get into a dungeon and get a grimoire, make sure to let me know. I'll pay you whatever it takes. Whatever it is.”

Harun nods a little, accepting that the price is that desperate, although it's strange to emphasize.

“Looks like there are still a lot of people who have business to attend to, so we're going to step back. Be sure to stop by when you have time. ”

“I understand.”

Currents rise up in place as if they care about the noise made by the people who came to meet Harun. As he paid attention to the barracks next door, he looked at her in horror. The face of the currents smiling with their half-moon eyes, lowering their heads at Harun, was as fresh as a ripe apple.

Late at night, the last people from the Senate came. I am well aware of my close relationship with the Imperial Intelligence Guild, so I did not deserve their visit, but I was not able to let them go.

Knowing that they had already been defeated by the Imperial Intelligence Guild meant that they had no other choice.

At least what they came for seemed to have weakened the influence of the Empire Information Guild. They accepted their request.
