Chapter 13 (2/2)

When Haruto and Lora returned, Wujek aiting by the entrance with an i were also nearby

「What are you doing here?」 (Haruto)

Upon Haruto’s question, Wujek made an ill-humored expression

「We need to talk」 (Wujek)

Lora brings Wujek tea He slowly drinks the tea that was served to him

「Would you like to employ these two?」 (Wujek)

「Huh?」 (Haruto)

Haruto was baffled by the sudden request The two that Wujek is referring to is Rusk and Pudding

「I don’t understand, can you explain」 (Haruto)

Hearing so, with a displeased expression on his face, Wujek begins to explain

To su wants to cancel their contract The reason is, Rusk doesn’t want to catch and sell children anymore because he loves children In the first place, there was nothing that could be done about it as Wujek is not breaking any laws Rusk could only bear the fact that children were being used as collateral There was no way he could protect the children and there was nothing he could do when they were sold off However, this only brought hi’s case, if her brother did not want to continue, she would not either That is why the two of them have canceled their contract with Wujek

「I see Then, why do you want me to employ them?」 (Haruto)

When Wujek heard this, he frowned

「Although youfor a merchant to have their mercenaries run away from them」 (Wujek)

Haruto expression showed that he didn’t understand thus Lora gave him an explanation

「A mercenary will do any job they are paid for For exah money In other words, if h or si, these types of rumors would spread」 (Lora)

Upon Lora’s explanation, Wujek gave a wide nod

「That is right You are probably aware of it but we are associates, are we not?」 (Wujek)

Hearing the insensible reh

「So then, why is it that I must be the one to employ them?」 (Haruto)

Upon hearing Haruto’s inquire, Wujek angerly responded

「Jeese, what a dense guy you are If these two are dis blow to my reputation as the top moneylender; therefore, I can’t si then to new merchants (shopkeeper) All in all, this will suppress such ru」 (Wujek)

Haruto confirmed that he understood Wujek’s explanation Anyhow, as children will be working at the factory, it uarded by mercenaries

「How much will it cost to employ you?」 (Haruto)

Upon Haruto asking, Pudding replied with laughter

「Let’s see, Wujek-san was paying us 300,000 a e pay for a mercenary is 100,000…… well, how about no less than 150,000 a )

150,000 a36 million per year Haruto has not started up his business yet thus that amount of money will be difficult But on the other hand; 300,000 is maybe considered cheap

「Let’s see, I aht You are hired; however, you will be employed for the first 3 months without pay」 (Haruto)

Hearing Haruto say this, Wujek’s expression slightly softens

「I see Excusewith the slave children」 (Wujek)

Saying so, Wujek left

「Well~, thanks~」 (Pudding)

「You have ratitude」 (Rusk)

Pudding and Rusk bowed

「Don’t worry about it I just thought I will be needing mercenaries」 (Haruto)

In truth, he never considered that fact but there was no need to mention it

「Are you really alright with a 150,000 salary?」 (Haruto)

「Not a problem」 (Rusk)

Haruto was relieved that there wasn’t a dispute over their salary and the matter was settled

「Hey~hey, now that that is over with, do you want to go drinking? I believe that it would deepen our friendshi+p and understanding of one another My brother and I will treat you How about it?」 (Pudding)

Haruto was surprised by their sudden invitation By drinking, theyfor a moment, Haruto took into consideration that this place is another world before replying

「If you are paying then okay I haven’t eaten yet! Lora, go change into a maid uniform!」 (Haruto)

Hearing him say so, Lora showed a wry smile

「Understood Then, please wait a bit」 (Lora)

And thus, the group headed to a tavern

「Ohwith Lora-chan ()

「Yeah, by the here are we headed?」 (Haruto)

Rusk answered Haruto’s question

「I highly recommend the place The place is kept in order and the food & drinks are good」 (Rusk)

Rusk replied

Shortly after following Rusk and Pudding, they arrive at the tavern

「I see, this is the recommended place…… wait, is this shop not Undine」 (Haruto)

Rusk turns his head to ask Haruto

「Yeah We would have our meals here」 (Haruto)

The group enters the shop and are greet by a man with a scary face…… Marceau

「Welco-san & even Rusk-san What a strange combination we have here」 (Marceau)

「That remains me, you 4 have a connection to Wujek-san」 (Marceau)

When the 4 took their seat, Maria ca over

「I will be taking your order By the way, Lora-oneechan, why are you dressed like that?」 (Maria)

Lora avoided the question with a smile

「I never drank alcohol before…… can you take the order I’ll leave it up to you」 (Haruto)

Hearing Haruto saying so, Pudding grinned and chuckled

With Lora on his back, Haruto parted ith the two
