27 Chapter 27: Mercenary Bands Name (1/2)
The soldiers rested for a day after the party was concluded as almost all of them had hangovers after the party and then after resting for a day, they would go back to Sanloris the next day.
[Author note: I change the way to call the group from 'cadets' to 'soldiers']
Razlov told them that they have two purposes in going back to Sanloris. First is to find and do some mercenary work and second is to do a live-fire exercise.
When the soldiers heard that they will be going back to Sanloris and will be doing work of a mercenary which also acts as a live-fire exercise, they were excited and nervous at the same time. Wondering if, will they be able to stomach killing a person?

After a day rest, Razlov and the first group embark on the path back to Sanloris. Razlov decided to divide the soldiers into two groups; 10 people in each group meaning two fireteams in each group, the first group would follow Razlov back to Sanloris and the second group will remain at the island to guard it. Then after the first group finishes doing their task they would return back to the island then the second group will be the next to follow.
When Razlov's group arrive at Sanloris they immediately went to Flying Fish Inn, for him to see Selina and rent her entire Inn to serve as a temporary base of operation for them; for the time being.
Later, when Razlov already has enough money, he plans to buy a house near the commercial district and make it their permanent base of operation in Sanloris.
Arriving at the Inn, Razlov went inside and could see that there were only a handful of customers inside there he sees Selina serving the customers of what they ordered.
”Welc~”
Selina notices that someone entered the Inn and when she sees the one who entered, she stunned for a second and then walk slowly towards him. Unable to contain her excitement of seeing him again, Selina runs to him and immediately jump to his embrace.
Razlov gently receives and hugs her back. The feeling of each other's warmth brings comfort to their hearts. Razlov and Selina look at each other and smile at the same time.
The group of soldiers at the just smile at the scene of their commander having a soft expression, unlike the usual stern expression and authoritative tone. Although sometimes their commander let out a smile, there is still an air of someone who is above others around him.
”Razlov, I got a piece of good news to tell you.”
When Selina told Razlov that she has good news to tell him, you can clearly see on her face that she is excited to tell him the news.
”What good news?”
Razlov just smiled at Selina, he already had a guess at what she is about to tell him but pretended that he doesn't know anything and just wait for Selina to reveal it.
”I'm pregnant”
Silence, that was Razlov's response when Selina declared that she is pregnant. Then Razlov pulls Selina into his embrace again.
Selina is puzzled at Razlov's silence, thinking that maybe he wasn't happy of her being pregnant with their child and is about to cry that moist is already forming in the corner of her eyes while she is being pulled into his embrace. But then:
”Thank you for being my woman”
”Thank you for making a father of our child”
