Chapter 68 The first contract 3 (1/2)
as soon as the lesser beastwoman yelled out all doubt disappeared form Frank's face and after he gave Mars an extra look he turned his eyes towards the forest
'here they come'
Mars waved his hand and soon the temperature around him raised as 4 flame arrows appeared next to him floating above his shoulders, just as the last one formed the first goblin showed it ugly mug from in between the tree's wit a weird laughter
”kekekekeke---”
*STAB*
only to have an arrow planted right in the middle of it's ugly misfortune face, but still even more goblins came out form in between the trees
”nice shot!”
after Mars called out he kicked off the ground as the 4 fire arrows also shot out each targeting a different goblin meanwhile Mars reappeared behind a goblin mage and snatched it's wooden staff and kicked it in the neck
*SNAP*
the goblin was sent flying and soon hit a tree meanwhile Mars threw the staff that split open the head of another goblin
”that's 7”
the remaining goblins having found out how horribly outmatched they were turned and tired to ran only to be cut down by the other mercenary's
'well that's that...'
Mars drew his sword and stabbed it into the dead goblin mage and pulled out the magic beast core while Frank walked up and gave Mars an amazed look
”you sure have good ears... and fast legs too”
”thanks?”
Mars half ignored Frank as dug out another core form a random half burnt goblin which caused Frank to give a sigh before he spoke again
”I have an offer for you, I wonder if you interested?”
”depends on what it is”
”...okay how about this, you take out all the small and far threats and I will add 100 cel to your pay, what do you say Mars?”
Mars stroked his chin before he held out his hand
”if you make it 200 cel then it's a deal”
”...deal”
Frank shook Mars's hand and looked towards the other mercenary's
”5 minutes then we move again, finish up what your doing!”
Mars gave a nod and vent back to the convoy and waited until it started moving again where he, Victoria, jack and Lina guarded the rear of the convoy again and after a few hours the convoy came to a stop
”what now?”
Jack gave Mars a weird look before he spoke
”chow time, aren't you hungry Mars?”
”oh, well not really?”
”well okay, but join us anyway”
”sure, let's go Victoria”
”okay...”
Mars walked over and sat down a the edge off the group and leaned his back against a tree and closed his eyes as Victoria came and lay down on his legs
'ah, this is life...”
Mars sat and enjoyed the evening sun for a while until he sensed someone walking up to him, opening his eyes slightly Mars saw the lesser beastwoman that had fired the arrow at the first goblin she had shoulder long blond hair with 2 cat ears on the top of her head, her blue eyes was also cat like and she had a long slender blond cat like tail that extended out from her waist
”hey there”
”...hello”
after Mars greeted her she stood and stared at his lap, or more likely Victoria
”say...”
”hmm?”
she pointed down at Victoria that was purring in Mars's lap
”do you mind if I pet her?”
”well... not is she doesn't, do you mind Victoria?”
Victoria didn't answer but she kept purring so Mars just gave a nod to the lesser beastwoman that sat down and began to cautiously pet Victoria while Mars looked into her face
'her pupils are not quite split like a cat, they are a little round too...'
”my name is Sarah”
the beastwoman, or rather Sarah spoke up while she was petting Victoria
”oh, nice to meet you Sarah my name is Mars, and this is Victoria”
Sarah smiled and petted Victoria on the head
”oh so your name is Victoria, how cute... how old is she?”
'technicality she's older than me...'
”she's a little over a year”
”I see...”
after petting Victoria for a bit more Sarah stood up and gave Mars a look before she turned and left
'...oh well'
