“Everyone, prepare for training…!”

Today again, Seris was angry to the end. I get angry every day to the point where I wonder if the vase is on the verge of extinction.

“Ah, let’s just do it roughly~ Yeah? You’re so fucking strict.”

“Giggles. If we do it roughly, what can you do, vice-captain? What are you going to do?!”

“I really like this leader too! It’s really comfortable and nice, huh?”

The reason was because of the gangsters who did not listen to those words and attack them. Mercenary members must follow the instructions of their leader and vice-leaders. The mercenary members just ignore them.

“Haha… It’s all over now…”

Seris, who was watching me with her arms folded and watching the scene, soon made a resigned expression and smiled helplessly.

Like a person who has given up everything, he smiles while staring into space with dead eyes.

It’s already been a week since I took office as the leader of the Scar mercenaries. Why does time seem to go so fast?

Seeing Seris smiling, I suddenly remembered the image of Seris who came to see me a few days ago.

***

bang-!

After I finished organizing documents in the office and was thinking about improvements, Seris came in, kicking down the office door as if she was trying to break it down.

“Captain.”

“…Why are you doing that? Vice-captain Seris.”

I almost ran away without realizing it when Ceris looked at me like she was going to kill me.

Maybe it was because of the concept, but I couldn’t move from my seat and just asked a question.

“Really… Are you really not doing anything?”

“…….”

“How many days have you been just watching?… Damn it…”

I knew very well what Cerise was trying to say. I said it as if I was showing something, but the question is why I didn’t do anything.

Even the mercenary members’ deviant behavior and even Seris, who was becoming increasingly anxious by the day, seemed to be ignored.

“I’ll say it again, just wait a moment.”

I understand that feeling, but I had no choice but to say that.

I mean, I’m almost done. Can you please wait a little while?

“Again! Are you just telling me to wait?! How long on earth do I have to wait?!”

Drop… drop.

“…you.”

After shouting, Ceris lowered her head and began to shed tears little by little. My hands were clenched tightly and I was shaking as if I couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Sigh… How long do you mean I have to wait..! Haven’t I told you repeatedly… this is my mission and life’s goal?”

“……..”

“In the meantime, I have met people called dog leaders. They always just pay lip service and never take action.”

Seris took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and began to speak.

“I thought it would be a little different for you. That confident attitude… I knew he could do anything.”

“……..”

“By the way. You are the same human being. Just standing by and not taking any action. It always increases expectations.”

ha-

Seris took a deep breath and soon showed a resigned expression. I felt all kinds of emotions.

Regret, despair, pain, anger, sadness, guilt… I can never express it in words.

“….you.”

“It is done.”

bang-!

I tried to comfort Ceris, but she kicked out the door as if she didn’t want to listen.

what. After that, he never tried to talk to me once. He never came to visit me.

“Ha…Haha…Holy shit… kekeke…”

By now, Seris was crying and laughing like a crazy person.

….Why are the pupils so dark? What is that… I’m scared.

“Giggle! Have you finally lost your mind?”

“Khahaha! This is so fucking funny! hey! Guys! Look at the vice-captain!”

“Fuha! Wow….”

Hahahaha-!

Their vice-captain was acting like a crazy person, and instead of helping or comforting him, they were busy laughing at him.

‘Detecting talent.’

[☆☆☆☆★ (You have no talent!)]

It was a gathering of all trash talents. If he didn’t have talent, even his personality was shattered.

These were the tips that gave me confidence in the choice I was considering.

‘good. Then, let’s get started.’

The long time of organizing has come to an end. Now all that remains is decisions and actions.

“Attention everyone.”

I stood up in front of everyone, lowered my voice, and played the role of a charismatic leader.

***

“Ha…Haha…Holy shit… kekeke…”

done. Holy shit… ha. Now all I can do is laugh.

The tears must have dried up and there is no sign of them coming out.

‘…..father.’

sorry. father. I tried really hard… I tried to revive the mercenary group according to my father’s wishes. It’s not working.

It’s all over now. All the remaining money was spent on electing that damn leader, and all that was left was a bunch of rag-tag mercenary bastards.

Let’s give up. huh. Kill them all, and I will die too.

“….Kill.”

I’m going to kill, I’m going to kill, I’m going to kill, I’m going to kill, I’m going to kill, I’m going to kill.

I will cut those bastards in half, kill that pretentious leader, and go find the leaders of the past generation and kill them all.

‘father.’

I’ll follow along soon. Please wait a minute.

“Attention everyone.”

For some reason, the damn leader, who had never stepped forward before, gathered everyone together.

okay. I don’t know what kind of nonsense you’re trying to do, but give it a try. Because I will kill you first.

“What is it? Leader, did you know how to organize a gathering like this?”

“Oh~ Is there a special event?!”

The bastards, who had been thinking their own way, gathered in front of the leader one by one, smiling.

“It’s an event. okay. It’s an event.”

“”Oh-!””

“Ha.”

okay. Let’s hear what they have to say. It’s over now, so it doesn’t matter.

“Mercenary member. Everyone is fired.”

“”………….””

“….Huh?”

Everyone froze at the sudden news of the leader’s important announcement. The same was true for Seris, who was staring blankly at the leader, saying something unexpected.

“….Poo..”

“”Puhahahaha-!””

“Chief, were you such a fun person?! Wow, it’s been a while since I laughed properly!”

“The quiet person pulled such a funny prank! Tsk tsk tsk!”

You’re fired so suddenly! The mercenary corps members were all in awe of the cute and amusing prank of the 6th leader.

Some even flipped over on their stomachs and rolled around on the floor!

“Kwikkk…. Ah, it was fun. Captain, what is the real reason you called me?”

“Yes! Let’s listen!”

Since he was a general manager who just watched helplessly, I thought he was just a pushover, but from now on, he is a well-liked general manager.

The mercenary members asked the leader with the mindset that they would do it because it was fun even if it was a little annoying.

“I’ll say it again. Everyone is fired.”

“…It’s not fun anymore. Just kidding…”

“Now. I. Does it look like you’re joking?”

Gooo-

“”……..!””

The leader, whose entire body was covered in red and black magic, exuded a deadly force that made his entire body tremble.

“…Ugh.”

Even Ceris felt a little bit of fear, so naturally the bugs who couldn’t even reach Ceris’ feet must have felt the fear of death.

The mercenary members just looked at the leader with a frightened expression, like prey in front of a predator.

“I will say it again. All mercenary members, except the vice leader, are dismissed.”

“Don’t be damned! By what authority do you…!”

“…What did we do wrong!”

that’s right-! why me-!

After being frightened for a moment, one mercenary member gathered courage and rebelled, and everyone began to raise their voices loudly.

“Mercenary contract, Article 1, Paragraph 3. ‘If you refuse the instructions of the leader or vice-leader more than three times without any reason, you may be summarily dismissed.’”

“….Huh?”

“You didn’t listen to Vice-Captain Seris’ instructions even once, let alone three times. Would you still refute this?”

The leader, who did not take a single step back, presented evidence that could never be refuted. Ordinary people would have quietly retreated from here.

“Damn…damn! What are you-!”

Are those bastards normal? When their words didn’t make any sense, he immediately took out a blade and ran to the leader.

“Up..Danger-”

Without realizing it, Seris almost told her that it was dangerous and that she should run away. There were that many mercenary members, and their murderous intent was real.

“Phew. It’s annoying.”

However, rather than retreating, the leader began to approach them. While maintaining its overwhelming and weighty magical power.

“Kill-!”

“”Aaagh-!””

“…..Come.”

Those in the majority are terrified and run for their lives, while those in the minority calmly lower their posture.

“Look behind-!”

Liquid-! Byak-!

“Wow…”

I easily dodged the rushing blades, and as soon as my fist made contact, one of the bugs flew away and fainted.

“Next.”

In a fight between the majority and the minority, the majority will unconditionally have the advantage. But… what if I feel an overwhelming difference in power? And what if that violence reaches me?

The bastards, who thought they were wolves, put down their tails when their lead was tragically lost to the tiger they thought they could catch.

Rattling-gulp.

With my body shaking like crazy, I couldn’t even think of approaching that tiger.

The mercenary members stopped in place and just looked at the leader with fearful eyes.

“If you don’t come. I will go there myself.”

Soak-ae-!

“Uh…huh?!”

The leader ran at such a speed that an ordinary person would not be able to follow him with his eyes. There was no way the bugs could react.

After that, only one-sided violence was used. Overwhelmingly, unable to even resist.

Kkwajik-

” Drawing … ◦ ◦ ◦

When the last one who held on collapsed, the only people standing on this parade ground were me and the leader.

‘why? ‘Now all of a sudden?’

Seris’ head was spinning at the incomprehensible situation.

“Phew. It’s really annoying. You bastards.”

The leader, who was calmly taking a deep breath and shaking off the dust from his clothes despite having overwhelmed dozens of adult men by himself, soon began to slowly approach Seris.

‘what. Are you trying to harm me too?!’

As the leader was still engulfed in magical power, Seris, facing the deadly threat head-on, began to prepare for battle, shedding a cold sweat.

“Vice-captain Seris.”

“…Come.”

I’ll tear you to shreds. I’m different from those bastards. The moment it came to me, all of it-

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”

“….?”

Contrary to his expectations of an attack, the leader said he was sorry.

I said I was sorry for making you wait, and I was sorry for just looking at you.

‘what? ‘What’s happening now?’

I couldn’t understand this situation. You haven’t done anything until now, but then you suddenly fire everyone and say you’re sorry?

“I completely understood how you felt. I worked hard to fulfill my father’s request.”

“..eh..?”

What… are you talking about? You suddenly understand me?

Although she couldn’t understand it, Seris felt her heart pounding at the sudden comfort she received.

“Okay then. Let’s move forward together.”

“What…what..?”

“What could it be? The revival of the Scar mercenaries begins now.”

A black-haired man who speaks calmly, with his back to the sun shining above his head.

“Yes… Leader…”

Cerys answered without realizing it due to her dependable appearance.

‘…For the very last time. ‘Let’s really believe this one last time.’

There seems to be something a little different about this person. Let’s pretend to be deceived and believe it just once.

Excited – Excited –

Without even noticing that warmth was welling up somewhere inside her chest, Seris tried to deceive herself.

***

‘Wow. ‘Is this what happens?’

He was attacking me, threatening to kill me, so I tried to fight back by controlling the game character as much as possible… but this is what happened?

I defeated all the thugs without allowing a single attack.

It was my first time fighting… but it’s more worth it than I thought, right?

good. Anyway, all the troublemakers have been eliminated… So now we have to recruit new mercenaries, right?

“Vice-captain Seris. Post a mercenary recruitment notice. We need to find those people who will share our beginnings.”

“…I understand..”

good! Let’s get started properly!

The Scar mercenary group begins now. Because I will make it shine like its past glory, no, even better!
