The military gave verbal permission?

‘So what.’

What are you saying?

The fact is that they are selling alcohol without an official license.

Nothing else can be used as an excuse.

Even if the military gives permission, they will not be responsible for the matter if it becomes a legal issue.

‘It’s better than not getting permission, but…’

There was no need to take risks, so whether the store continued or not, the matter of liquor sales rights needed to be completed neatly.

If I don’t do that, wouldn’t a situation arise where I have to take full responsibility for something I didn’t do?

“So, what I’m saying is, don’t be a bother anymore, just quietly give up everything you have and leave.”

The eyes of the father and daughter, who could not respond to me by law or force, became watery.

I wanted to get rid of the father and daughter’s problem right away, but it was impossible to proceed that quickly.

It is also impossible to recover all the money they made while running the bar.

‘If you decide how much it is and hide it, there’s no way to find it.’

Are they going through detailed documents to find out how much alcohol was sold?

I felt like the time I spent in the process was even more precious.

In the end, they are the ones who know how much they earned, and it is impossible to make them spit it all out.

‘So I asked for compensation for the damage.’

They demanded a penalty for not properly complying with the terms of the contract, and added a lot of compensation for damages by also pointing out that they had changed the store at will.

“How did we get so much money…!”

“The amount is too much! “There is no way there is this much money!”

“Boss, you didn’t really lose anything from this incident. The store is much bigger than before, and business is doing well, so the money will keep coming in! But asking for that amount of compensation is too much!”

Judging by the way he was hanging on my leg, saying there was no way he could have that much money, it seemed like the money he earned was not more than the compensation I asked for.

However, they had to pay back the damage compensation I suggested.

“Do you remember the contract you signed with me? The penalty will be clearly written there. “The increased amount was decided based on the contract.”

“A contract…? dad. “Please bring me a written contract.”

The woman became thoughtful at the word contract and urged the man, and the man shook his head with a tearful expression.

It seemed like he had just remembered the penalty.

‘I didn’t increase the penalty for no reason.’

Because I had to entrust the store to a store that I often didn’t pay attention to, I wrote down the penalty in detail when I signed the contract.

What I didn’t expect was that they were completely unaware of the fear of penalties.

They will pay the price for their ignorance and regret it bitterly.

If you have abandoned your faith because of money, wouldn’t it hurt the most to be beaten with money?

‘I even changed the warehouse to my liking, so how can they react to it?’

Many people might think it’s strange if the bar suddenly closes temporarily, but if you really don’t want to be kicked out as a beggar, the father and daughter will figure out what to say.

That way, they will be able to pay even a little less compensation for the damages they have to pay.

‘You caused trouble because of money, so you should be punished with money.’

After checking the condition of the warehouse, the level of punishment for the woman could be determined with certainty.

There is absolutely no reason to watch them.

I didn’t feel like looking at it when I saw that half of the warehouse, which was supposed to be filled with the items I had sent, was occupied by large liquor barrels, and the other room was turned into a place where ingredients for food sold at the bar were stored.

‘There are no parasites.’

The warehouse, which was originally supposed to be one, had two compartments, and it seemed like they had even treated each compartment with a different temperature.

The temperature was different between where alcohol was stored and where food ingredients were stored.

In other words, they even changed the warehouse to suit their taste.

‘I feel like I’m being ignored more seriously now than when I joined the mercenary force at the age of 16 and was struggling to adapt… .’

I never thought I would be treated like this by someone I paid money to hire.

If you didn’t look at me so ridiculously, there’s no way you would have done such a big thing to two buildings.

No, the needle thief became a cattle thief, and when the cattle thief realized that he would not be caught, he even robbed the house.

The owner of the house, who showed up late, was just shocked and dumbfounded.

‘If I don’t have enough money, I have to pay it back with my own body.’

They said they would not take issue with the law if compensation for the damage was paid.

Conversely, what if compensation is not paid properly?

‘If you go straight to the law, it’s over. Actually, I like it better here because I can worry less about it.’

The daughter will not be able to be free because she helped her father run the store without permission.

From what he was saying, it seemed like his abilities were so mediocre that he wouldn’t even dare to run away.

I thought this was enough to deal with the father and daughter, and now the remaining problem is what to do with the store…

Unless a trustworthy person falls from the sky, wouldn’t it be difficult to open a bar for a while?

‘Let’s think about it later. head hurts.’

In fact, since we decided to supply goods to the military, there was no reason to continue distributing consumables to this branch.

There is no problem with helping children who have joined the military.

‘What would have happened if I hadn’t made connections with Commander Thalia?’

I became acquainted with Commander Thalia, but what does it matter?

In the meantime, if the children needed something, we tried to provide it through this place.

However, it is now possible to provide support through official military donations.

‘Let’s ask Commander Thalia to take care of the kids.’

How well would you handle a task if you left it to others?

Since I experienced the worst situation that can happen when people are used carelessly, I decided to call it a trick.

Imagine if you continue to leave this place unluckily, you get caught selling illegal alcohol.

It was much better to deal with it now than to deal with it after the situation had escalated to that extent.

＊＊＊

“You can go in.”

“yes.”

The father and daughter threatened that they would handle this matter legally if they ran away, so they would not do anything foolish.

This is because they know that even if they run away, they are bound to be caught quickly.

If the female employee didn’t know how to use her brain, she would immediately calculate what would be more beneficial, and easily conclude that it would be better to cooperate with me.

therefore.

‘Right now, we need to focus on our private meeting with Commander Thalia. No, it would be a waste to even worry about that in the first place.’

For now, I have to pay attention to dealing with Commander Thalia alone.

After going through a more complicated process than expected, I was able to move to Commander Thalia’s office.

Even though it was promised in advance, since he was such an important person, there was a lot of investigation into this and that.

“Commander.”

“There you are! Welcome. “I never thought the day would come when I would see you in the office.”

Commander Thalia smiled brightly and opened her arms to welcome me.

“Let’s sit over here and talk. “I have a lot to talk about with you.”

“yes.”

Commander Thalia sat down on the sofa, and soon a woman who appeared to be a secretary appeared, served her tea, and left the office.

“This is only served when an important guest comes, so eat as much as possible. “It’s good for your body.”

“thank you.”

It was a tea with a flavor similar to frozen black tea.

The scent wasn’t bad, so I quenched my thirst with the warm tea.

Maybe it was because I had suffered unexpectedly due to something that happened before I came here, but the tea tasted as sweet as honey.

“Sweet, if we’re going to talk about it in earnest, we’ll have to go back to the fact that you’re opposing my strategy.”

Commander Thalia was the first to speak up, perhaps intending to go back from the beginning.

“Yes, it was too much to do and the risk of failure was high.”

“I heard you were sure I would fail.”

“The polluted area has been holding our breath for a long time. I held my breath and persevered, as if hoping the enemy would let down his guard. And they raised an army to catch us off guard. That was the beginning of the monster wave. “I was expecting something like this to happen someday, even when the contaminated areas stopped being polluted.”

Contaminated areas continue to threaten humanity and will not stop until they are all swallowed up.

“The monster wave means that a new war has begun. He said he plans to show in earnest what he has been building in strength through holding his breath. It is absolutely unacceptable to try to hastily resolve such a monster wave with a strategy that is too risky. You must approach this carefully. “If anything goes wrong with Commander Thalia’s identity during that mission, an unimaginably horrific massacre will occur.”

Commander Thalia, who had been listening to my story seriously, fell silent and then spoke.

“At first I thought it was rude meddling. It is true that it was uncomfortable. But now that I’m listening to you, I feel like I can’t just be stubborn any longer.”

Commander Thalia did not try to hide her uncomfortable feelings.

“Please, Commander. “Humanity that has lost you has lost hope.”

If you’re not there, someone else will become the commander, and from then on the difficulty of beating the main scenario will increase exponentially.

I want to avoid such terrible things.

Difficult things in a game arouse the desire to win, but when reality becomes difficult, you become so irritated that you want to give up.

“Do you smoke?”

“yes.”

“Then let’s do it one at a time.”

“yes.”

We took some time to smoke a cigarette.

As nicotine entered my body, my tense body relaxed and I was able to find some relaxation.

“This is a different story, but how did you send Erintina away?”

“I asked Erintina because the only person who could convey my intentions to the commander the fastest was Erintina.”

“You sent me because you thought he was the most qualified person? “I just thought it would be delivered quickly?”

“Yes, one of the reasons was that I was close to the commander.”

Commander Thalia burst into laughter.

“Why are you doing that?”

“It seems you are closer to Erintina than you thought. “I’m not a woman who listens to requests, but I see that you do.”

“???”

“No matter how much I am, I couldn’t ignore your sincerity in bringing Erintina as a messenger.”

I wasn’t sure what they were talking about, but it was a positive response, so I answered.

“I guess it was a great luck that I asked Erintina.”

“yes. If I had sent someone else, no, even if you had come, I would have gone ahead with the plan. “Unfortunately, because you sent Erintina, it all ended up being nothing.”

I didn’t think I was saying this simply because of the skills Erintina showed.

What was Erintina doing here?

“By the way, where is Erintina? “I said I would wait here.”

“I didn’t need to call you. You’ll be having fun on the battlefield. “I think I really liked the taste of blood that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

Since we have made a contract with an ancient spirit, this is the perfect place to work together on the front line.

Erintina would have had no reason to let this time pass by.

Thanks to this, the soldiers were able to rest, so it wasn’t a bad thing.
