When he arrived at the inn where Zophie and Zephyr were staying, Leolde asked the receptionist to call Zephyr . As Leolde waits in the lobby for a while, a suspiciously dressed person wearing a mask walks up to him.
The person slowly walks toward Leolde and takes off his mask to show his face to Leolde. Leolde realized that the person in front of him was Zephyr, so he decided to change place.
Leolde takes Zephyr back to the mansion and leads him to the reception room. When they arrived at the reception room, they sat down on the sofa and met face to face.
"There is no one here, So you can take off your mask if you want."
"Ahhhh. I can finally relax."
Zephyr finally took off his mask and let out a deep breath as he was freed from his cramped appearance."
". You forgot your promise to me.
"No, well, I'm sorry about that. I've been busy."
"What's wrong ?"
Leolde explained to Zephyr what had happened in the past few days. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
"I see. It must have been hard for you."
"Yeah. I'd like to ask you the question, why are you a mercenary?"
"The truth is, after you left me , I was living off the grid on a deserted island for a while, but it got too tough. I used to fly to land by wind magic and share things from the neighboring villages. They gave me vegetable seeds and tools to cultivate mu fields. In return, I weeded out bandits, thieves, and monsters , and before I knew it, we had become a mercenary group.
"How did that happen?"
"I don't know. The mercenary group was formed with me as leader."
"Hmm. Well, I'll leave it at that and give you the supplies you need like you wrote in your letter?"
"Yes. I mean, that's just a pretext, not my real intention.
"Just don't make too many crazy demands, okay?
"Don't worry. It's not that difficult. We just want you to hire our mercenary group.
"What? You're right, it's not too much to ask, but I don't need them, i need the Knights.
"Yeah, but mercenaries are more flexible than knights, right?"
"Hmmm, yes, but Ze'at doesn't need that much military power. You know that, don't you?""
"There are many strong people in Ze'at, including you. If that's the case, can you hire me? ......"
"I'm sorry, but I can at least gie you some sense into you."
"What do you mean?"
"To the merchants of Ze'at. Well, I'd be happy to gather some information for me ."
"I see. So, technically, you're using us as your business partners, but behind the scenes will gathering information?
"Thank you for your quick understanding . My servants , the hungry wolf squad, are in charge of gathering information now, but the territory is getting too big for them, so I'm putting them on guard duty. That's where you guys come handy ."
"Yeah, I understand what you're saying. and if you can hire me, I'll be happy to do it."
"Okay, we have a deal. Make sure you give your men strict instructions. Tell your men what will happen if they betray me .
"I'll do that, of course. Now, can I go home, please?"
"Yes. I'll get you some supplies. I'll have my men deliver them to the inn where you're staying."
"Thank you. I'll be going now."
"See you later."
Zephyr put on his mask again and left the reception room. Leolde sees Zephyr off and draws up a contract. He gave it to his subordinates and sent them to the inn where the mercenary group led by Zephyr was staying.
Leolde then finished his work and returned to the capital.
After returning to the capital, Leolde immediately went to the laboratory to check on the progress. When he asked Rudolph what had happened while he was away, he was told that there was still no progress .
"Hmmm, ...... let him take some time off. Each of you should take a vacation to refresh your brain. Then you might be able to come up with something good "
With that, Leolde decided to give the researchers a break and go home to his parents.
After returning to his parents' house, he went to greet Beluga.
"It's been a long time, father."
"It's been a long time, Leolde. You've been working a lot these days, haven't you?"
"Yes. But I thought I'd take some time off, so I came home."
"I see. Well, then you should take a good rest "
"Would it bother you if I stopped you right there?"
"...... is a bit much, you know.Why do you have to blow up the lab every time you do it? Do you have any idea how much it's bothering His Majesty?"
"I feel bad for father-in-law, but I'm doing this for my future wife."
"You, ......, only call him that when it handy to you."
"Well, I'll follow up with His Majesty in some way, so don't worry about it, father.
"I can't imagine how much easier it would be if I could do that. .....".
"I'll leave you to it."
"hey! I'm not finished with you yet!""
Beluga tried to stop Leolde , but before he could, Leolde ran away as quickly as he could. Beluga, who was left alone, held his head and let out a sigh.
"I'll take you out for a drink sometime. ......"
Beluga muttered to himself as he thought of his friend who was still exhausted from his heartache at the royal castle.
