1, The Creas・2nd Half
The ti states The eras of various powerful warlords
The feudal lord of this Sabraeu continent held various big and s hi hi but war
On the battlefields were the exchanges betweenof spears and swords Amidst life and death, a chaos
It’s because of these times that the business of mercenaries was profitable
And I, Ganglabe also held such aether with my four childhood friends we started up athe country in our hands So that we can build a place where orphans like us can live without fear and in peace
Our goal was that kind of peaceful country One where there’s no starvation or poverty Saving the citizens from dirty rulers who only exploit them
But, it’s already been five years since the start of the mercenary corps Even now it’s still just a small scale corps
My childhood friends have talent in fighting and ies Still, no ht, how much we earn, there was no way for us to increase the corps
People, horses, weapon, all eat upby just my resourcefulness there doesn’t seem to be a way to further increase the fifty people we currently have
And then one day I met him
Thinking back to it, that was probably aof fate
That day was the war of Lynbell hills, and ere hired by the lord of the northern lands
It was a hich dragged on for quite a bit, suitable for the aold, and the amount taken from the other lord was also quite an amount
But the soldiers were tired fro war
Twofor the war to end soon but, it was probably extended for too long We fell into a
Not knohen to stop, it was my mistake
The twenty troops I was leading were also tired, all the other troops were probably the same
So to raise the morale of the troops
“Captain!”
“What’s with the commotion”
Postponingabout the method of attack, one of my childhood friends came into the tent
The one leading the archery unit, Teg He ht just be lucky but, he has never missed a shot, and his unit was made of elites
“We caught a suspicious guy, came here to tell you”
“Suspicious guy? A spy?”
“Uh…no, doesn’t seem to be a spy…”
“Huh?”
A suspicious guy whose not a spy?
I didn’t really get it so I went out and uy
…Indeed, suspicious
Tunic and pants That was all he earing
However, I’ve never seen his kind of tunic or pants, nor the sewing ood quality
And he was a peculiar fellow
His features were flat and ordinary Short hair and unusual black eyes
He was a thin man who also wasn’t very tall
Too weak to be a villager, too delicate to be a soldier, too unrefined to be the son of a ruler
I’ve euy
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
I question cautiously It would be annoying if I get attacked out of no where
“HAHAHAHAHA”
For reason he starts laughing
“What are you laughing at!”
I felt despondent getting angry What’s with this guy
“Umm, you can call me Shuri Where is this place?”
“The one asking questions isnonsense”
It’s useless to try to take advantage of anything I won’t let you
But, who is this person Why is he here
This was right in the uy who doesn’t seeet lost here
“You’re called Shuri right? Where do you belong? What village are you from”
“The countryside of japan”
“Jyapan… never heard of the place”
Of all the times and places, even from the veterans who have crossed the various battlefields, I’ve never heard of this place
Even during the five years since I’ve started my mercenary corps, I’ve never heard of this territory
“U here, and I have no idea where this place is”
“Shut up for me”
He keeps breaking ht
There was no way to grab onto them as they drifted away Such a bothersome person shouldn’t exist
“So uh, I’ry”
“Be quiet, so are we”
There’s no way that this guy is soht for a second To ask for food in this situation, is that normal?
Rather than that, my mercenary corps have no one to create decent meals
We can cook for ourselves but, we don’t have a cook who can feed others That’s e’ve beco Salt and Potato soup
So we’re hungry No ry
Once we arrive at a city, eating to our heart’s content is a cooal
“Captain, what do?”
“There doesn’t see we can take”
“But doing nothing like this won’t do any good”
“However, there’s no e can just free hi for the war”
My childhood friends also gave me their opinions
Indeed we probably can’t take anything of value off him, it’s better to just kill him quickly
I also don’t know if the inforet rid of the source of anxiety
“Uh, excuse me”
“What”
“I’ please?”
“…You, you’re a cook?”
“If its cooking then I can do the basics If you’re going to killplease”
Doing a trade in this sort of situation huh
Indeed, our food situation isn’t soe if we had a cook
“Interesting”
Grinning, I laugh and say
“In that case,delicious If you do that, I will let you live”
“Captain?! Are you serious?!”
“It’s before the war Doing so like this to raise the morale of the troops wouldn’t be bad If it tastes bad then we can just kill him”
If he can cook up soy would get restored
If it’s no good then its fine to just kill hie
No matter which it comes to, it’ll be a method to raise the morale
