Vol 2 Chapter 1 (2/2)

“Except during a war, the country and feudal lords occasionally meditates to employ mercenaries in case of insufficient soldiers It is often related to demon extermination and peace and order h rank gets more than the basic reward As for mercenaries, the level of confidence froive personal co requests are limited by ranks Furthermore, they have preferential treatment like tax exemption They have the freedoe, those who receive tax exeo to the battlefield”

Most of the budget appears to go to the guild for general armaments Competition is fueled by ranks This country’s ar rewards rather than commands

In addition, even co as they can pay the a reward

“With these details, our country at present can ency, that is why temporary soldiers and mercenaries compose the majority of the ares that is the Soldier Guild It is an obligation for tee all of the troops, the country’s arister here”

Then ill go there to register after this, he said

Indeed, the question I have been wondering about is now settled with his discussion about the guild

Thesupport became important in the current throne contention

Even if this is country is said to be under monarchy, the citizens have a lot of power

At the same time, a new doubt came to my mind

Now that I learned what’s happening behind the scenes, it seear – who is tainted with Baal’s religion – to win, however… I also think that this country’s structure is strange

What are the nobles’ intentions for supporting that?

U~mu

“I understand about the Soldier Guild Which reminds me, hoill they handle me? Will I be a part of the nation’s military?”

It’s quite unlikely that I, who is received suroups

“I am sure you will be a soldier under the nationalSpike handed a letter of introduction for the guild so I do not think you will be a common soldier… but I am unclear on the specifics”

Neil-san says while folding his aresture

“Then, we have no choice but to go Iexplanation, huh? I’m sorry… Rather, thanks Thank you very much”

“No! It was me who did not pay attention… I am very sorry”

He see about the stiff atmosphere from before

He becomes normal if there is a conversation, this person doesn’t look like the type to create a special wall

Speaking of that

“Are there any reasons for that?”

It would be better to hear it ahead of time

For the future

“The truth is… I have an older sister[/ane], uhm…”

The talk went into an unexpected direction

Older sister[/onee-san]?

“What is it?”

I asked again, and he answered while scratching his cheeks, appearing embarrassed

“It’s e but, she always ordered me around when I was s-willed appearance? She has unyielding eyes so… when I see wo nature, I shrink back”

Hmmm, in other words

“Did you think I was obstinate from the way I look?”

Certainly, doesn’t the present me have slanted, villainess-like eyes[/tsurime]?

I do not think that deeply about my appearance

In ht my appearance ranked at the middle of the top, but I was not popular at all

…I was not popular

Self-evaluation tends to become overly optimistic

When I boldly asked a younger female cousin who dropped by my parents’ home, she ranked my appearance in the lower middle

“Lower middle! I do not dislike it but—”

Because you know

That follow-upeven more

Isn’t lower middle plainly the reserves!?

“U-uhm, were you offended?”

Oops, I just recalled an unpleasant thing

“No, I do not mind”

It’s that, isn’t it?

“Sorry I only showed discourtesy during ourbefore… Cathia-san’s demeanor is soft unlike your appearance I understand that you are different from my older sister”

He said that according to his older sister’s appearance

When he mentioned my demeanor is soft, should I be relieved that I a like lady?

“It’s fine I completely understood the reason”

Fro difficult to speak about, Neil-san ht be a very honest man

“Thank you very h”

He whispered half of the sentence

There’s another reason?

I can’t stop thinking about it! <note: chitanda eru=”” reference=””>

“There is so else? Please tell me about it?”

I have brought my face closer before I knew it

I took some distance away

Neil-san’s face is dyed red, and I heard him speak in a whisper, as if it was caused by shyness

“N-no! It is of no concern!”

“Why are you dodging the question!? Please tell ht up in the mountains so I don’t know the ways of the world!”

“It’s not strange! …I aainst women…”

?

Is this because of his older sister?

Well

It can’t be helped

“Well, that is alright Please inform me in the near future”

Procrastination

Let’s hear about it later

“Ah, no…that…hahaha”

His attitude make it seem like I was only deceived

Oi!
