“That’s right. If it’s the top of your family, it’ll be easy to handle, right?”
As Serkov, the boy in the passenger seat of the carriage, finished getting ready to leave, Vivian looked up at him with a very suspicious look in her eyes and said something to him.
Of course, Serkov seemed to know that this was only half a joke, as he was pounding his chest and boasting.
“Isn’t it obvious?
We are also a specialist in monster materials.
I hate to say this, but the medicines I used were also made from monster ingredients.”
“You definitely said something.
You see, this is business.
Because this is a huge discount.
So, please receive the bill properly.”
Marquis Szczlanova, who is now an ally through Serkov and Verdi.
Vivian’s plan to kill two birds with one stone by selling monster materials through the family’s top, one of the family’s businesses, was also getting off the ground.
“I can’t trust people like that!!
Don’t worry, just leave it to me!!
Because I will sell it properly!!
Don’t go hunting without me first!!”
“Okay. Have a nice trip.”
“Hahaha!! Verdi!!
The West is making money!!
let’s go!! Hey!! Hey!!”
Marquis Schutzranova made a huge profit by receiving monster material at a relatively low price.
And since Vivian doesn’t have to deduct taxes or transportation costs from that money, she can make a significant profit just by selling it as is.
“A guy like that is my baby’s dad…
Verdi needs to come to his senses… ”
Watching Serkov, who was excited as he was driving the carriage, disappearing into the street, Vivian turned around with a smile and walked back into Floraz’s.
If you go under the gate through the underground tunnel connected to Floraz, you will find Marina Heloise waiting there.
The current gate was a system in which if there was someone who wanted to go over, the mage would open the gate and take them out.
At regular intervals, the magician would personally open the gate for those who wanted to enter and those who would leave, allowing them to transfer.
“If things continue like this, I’m going to use up all my magic power just by crossing over… !!”
Of course, if you were asking if it would be okay to limit the number of times you enter and exit, that would be correct, but people couldn’t just work inside the dungeon.
It’s good to set up an outpost and dispose of the by-products of hunting in the dungeon, but it goes without saying that female Henias, the den’s beasts, have other jobs as prostitutes.
Although human women are said to be working hard as Henia’s successors, it is true that as Floraz’s aces, there are some shortcomings in completely succeeding the legacy they have created.
After all, isn’t that a body that has been trained by being violated countless times by tentacles?
Only with a body like that, henias were able to become the flowers of the night that squeezed out all men.
Since Floraz could not be completely entrusted to the human women who had not yet reached that level, the Henias eventually had to participate in the hunt to some extent and then return to Changgwan to rest at night.
And considering that the employees of the Swallow Cartel also periodically return to work for their own cartel?
“Let’s go back!!”
“I have to go back quickly and report it!?”
“I can’t do it now… … !?
Just wait… Ugh… … !!”
“I think we need another method, Professor… … ”
So, I guess Eloise thought that it was very inefficient for her or Marie to use magic power to get over the gate every time.
Vivian had never thought of such a case, so she was hoping that Eloise, who had returned to her lab for a while to create a rechargeable magic tool that could enter and exit the gate, would bring satisfactory results.
“Mary. How do you view the current situation?”
“Yes… yes… … ? ji… In the current situation…
If it were him…
Because you will make the right product… ”
“That’s not what I meant… ha… …
Well, what is the meaning of asking you?”
Vivian let out a small sigh, and now complaints of being full were coming out softly.
To be precise, would you say it was a directionless worry about how to resolve the immediate situation?
There were more things he could choose from, and he was starting to see the future in his plans.
However, the problem is that there is still a severe lack of talent.
This dungeon was an illegal possession that brought in a lot of income, secretly taken over during a time of chaos in the country.
Revealing this place would in itself be treason against the country.
No matter how weak the current country was after experiencing the dungeon incident, ultimately turning all the humans living here into enemies was a direction that Vivian should avoid.
Therefore, the person who knew about this dungeon had to be someone he could trust.
Isn’t that why he is leading the way by bringing in not only the sisters of the den whom he can completely trust, Henia, Ranie, and Aurora, but also Serkov, who is on the same boat, and talented people carefully selected by Swallow?
“Serkov… He’s not someone you can’t trust, but…
He hasn’t completely taken control of the family yet.
Even if we receive support now, the risk is greater…
Laura… … ? In Grenot…
At best, I can only receive financial help…
Even if possible, you should pay it back and end the relationship as soon as possible.”
As Vivian’s eyes narrowed as she thought about people around her who might be helpful, she muttered to herself, and Marie, who was standing awkwardly next to her, looked like she was watching and wiggled her fingers.
“There is a lack of talent. It would be nice if we could get more… … ”
Human women who are loyal to Enic cannot easily become a force.
If you are someone like yourself or Ranie who has walked the path of the sword from the beginning, the only things they know how to do are housework and working as a prostitute.
No matter how much her body became stronger by absorbing Enic’s sap, in reality, her essence as a weak female who was afraid at the sight of even a single drop of blood did not change.
In the end, the best thing for human women was to become Henias’ successors and become excellent prostitutes who could compete with Henias so that they could fully concentrate on their work.
In this situation, due to insufficient human resources, only the Henias would be overworked, so Vivian was thinking about something for a moment.
coming from next to me
“I… Madam… … ?”
“Why are you calling me… ?”
“I’m sorry it felt like I overheard you, but…
If you need more people… …
I know some people… …
no… To be exact, my younger brother… … ”
“What… … ?”
Vivian’s eyes widened as she turned her head to look at Marie’s question, which suddenly came to her in an unexpected way.
.
.
.
“It’s work again today, sister… ?”
“Yes. I might end up sleeping in today.
So, do you make sure to eat dinner?
Do you always wake up well in the morning?”
Seeing Marie smiling warmly at her, Anne pursed her lips and lowered her head.
“Yes… I see… … ”
But perhaps it was because I had an older sister who knew very well how my younger brother felt.
Anne could not help but relax her pouting lips as she felt her sister’s heartbeat and warmth coming through her back when Marie suddenly approached her and hugged her waist tightly from behind.
“Don’t look at me like that, Anne…
It just takes time, but it’s not like it’s hard work…
How is your training going well these days?”
“Just… There’s nothing particularly special about it…
Because only the training ground is open… … ”
Currently, the academy is in a state of virtual temporary closure.
With so many monsters running rampant all over the capital, the faculty and staff who were commuting to and from work also needed time to fix their own residences.
Sometimes, family members were sacrificed, so time was needed to hold a fitting funeral.
Aside from that, it was an academy that started carrying out activities that actually helped those around it, albeit nominally, in order to share the pain and focus its efforts on rebuilding the capital.
“Mr. Schmitz. Are your legs okay?”
“That… sure… !! I can see it getting better every day… !!”
“I’m glad to hear that.
Well then, let’s make rounds again next week…
Do you need to take medicine when you leave and make sure to take it well?”
“To ours… Like this…
Thank you, student… !!
You will become a great person!!”
Naturally, students in the medical department, who had a lot of work to do to treat the injured, often went around volunteering.
Likewise, there were many students in the engineering department who were conducting personal research, but there were also many who were also volunteering to build houses.
“Head!! head!! Wrist!!”
Meanwhile, after making a great contribution to fighting monsters, there were some who had completely finished their work in the now peaceful royal capital.
“It’s the wrist!! Come to your senses!!
My hands and arms will all fly away!!”
“Kwaaak!! Just live a little longer!!”
“Monsters are people who are good at killing people!!
You guys are now great swordsmen!!
I pretended to cry like this and fell asleep!!”
A professor who wields a heavy wooden baton and now teasingly harasses a student who wields a real sword.
While he was hitting a male student from the swordsmanship department with a savory dialect, the male student, who was unable to come to his senses and was fumbling around, was inadvertently letting out the words of his heart.
“That’s because the professor is more than a monster… !!
Wow!! sorry!! It’s nothing!!”
“Hey guys, don’t do it!! My body is stiff after resting for a few days!!
I do all the training, but there are some sons who don’t show up, right?”
In the end, with that one word that only made the professor angry, the students who were beaten like dogs on dog days were probably coming up with excuses that were not excuses for the professor’s questions.
“Ah, these guys… ”
“I know too!! Guys this is!!
The child left out because he had to earn money to send home!!
These guys are so crazy about making money!!
Even after coming to practice, you guys were so busy talking about it!?”
“Hee profit!!”
Just because they were students of the Department of Swordsmanship, it did not mean that they had no influence on the situation.
In particular, among the students in the swordsmanship department, which has quite a few commoner backgrounds, there are commoner students who have family registration in the royal capital.
They were already struggling to pay for their academy tuition, but they could not ignore their family, which was half ruined due to this incident, so they were looking for all kinds of jobs to earn as much money as possible to bring home.
The professors were not completely unaware of the situation, so it was a situation where they pretended not to know, nagging a little, even though it was only a matter of missing a little training. However, in the end, the important thing is that even if you are a student from the Department of Swordsmanship, you can do it by making use of your major in the current situation. What do you mean there is work?
“So, I’m also an honor student at the academy?”
“Hey Mr. Mac!! Don’t talk nonsense and just say this!!”
In a way, it was natural that students who came to the swordsmanship department had no choice but to do hard labor.
First of all, the biggest problem was that there was no chance to eat a meal in this peaceful royal capital.
All the monsters must have been subdued for now. Since there would be no need to deal with monsters, the only thing left was for people to deal with people.
“I wish we could do escort work well too… ”
“So… But I don’t think they will use me either.”
It is common for large merchants with enemies in the capital to hire swordsmen to protect them from thieves.
However, those positions have already been occupied by experts for a long time, so who can hire newbies like themselves who haven’t even graduated yet?
Even if they did give me some money, it was fortunate that I was deprived of my daily wages because I was a student.
If there was one thing that these people had hope for, it was for the dungeons that were sealed this time…
This was because some mind-boggling subjects started talking about converting the dungeons that appeared in the royal capital into a project of national interest, and the business of catching monsters and selling the by-products, just like Vivian does, began.
Since they could expect to earn a high profit there, students from commoner backgrounds were hoping that their applications would be released.
Of course, it would be natural to participate in it, but the problem was that it was a punitive force formed with official permission from the state.
“I can do it well… … !?
Don’t do that, just give me a chance… !!”
“Even though you said that, don’t you guys know that?
It’s packed, that’s what I mean!!
How can you do that!!”
Likewise, not only was there no room for newbies in such a place, but there seemed to be an especially high wall for the students of the swordsmanship department who were born as commoners and had no way to be trusted.
In the dungeon raiding party, where experienced people who smelled the smell began to gather one by one, there were many things that were lacking to show off as a new recruit.
“He went in… !!”
“I… That person… Huh!!
Anyway, if it doesn’t work, I know it won’t work!!”
Children of noble families do not enter dungeons to make money in the first place, but to gain experience.
The students, who were from commoner backgrounds, could only look at the backs of students who had obtained a position one by one through requests and were leaving for a safe study abroad, and then had no choice but to turn their eyes to reality.
“So… … Everyone looked like they were having a hard time…
Because of the lack of experience, escorting seems difficult…
It would be nice to gain experience in places like dungeon raids, but…
There seems to be not enough space in a place like that… … ”
‘So I have no choice but to deal with boys more… ‘
Of course, Anne, who swallowed the last word in her heart, was in a position where she could not turn her eyes away from that reality.
The more you work at night, the more strangely your body becomes more flexible.
One might wonder if it had anything to do with arching one’s back under the boys and convulsing with one’s trembling thighs spread apart, but for Anne, that was the only factor that could be used to guess her changes.
‘really… I wonder if it has anything to do with it… … ?’
Anyway, as she struggled to keep up with her soft body and practice, she proved her own progress with the monster incident.
In addition to the on-the-spot teachings of her assistant Lucia, whom she had been very unfamiliar with recently, she cut down dozens or hundreds of monsters, showing off her advanced level.
‘But… Well, there’s no use in looking at it… … ‘
However, despite her remarkable progress, she was unable to receive recognition for her career.
It was estimated that the royal knights who were immediately annihilated alone would have cut down at least thousands of monsters per person.
There are others who have shown such great performances, but there was no way that a sprout who had not yet shown his full potential would be in the public eye.
To that extent, the difference between the trainee and the expert is so wide that, although it may be possible to say, ‘I did well for a student,’ the words, ‘I’m not as good as others,’ were bound to come out first.
In the end, Anne fell into a dilemma and was just trying to practice and make money at the same time without any particular goal.
Anne, who felt a strange sense of discomfort at her beloved sister’s hesitant question that came back to her, seemed to be rounding her eyes as if she were curious.
“I see… Anne… …
Could you… Can you spare some time for a while? … ?”
“Yes… … ? ”
