Supplying goods to the military is a great opportunity for a merchant.

From then on, people no longer doubt the quality of goods.

In addition, I am putting products into the academy, so if I become an official partner of the military, there will be no need for publicity.

Of course, Commander Thalia’s current proposal does not mean that we become an official partner, that is, an official supplier.

However, even if it was temporary, it was very meaningful to gain delivery experience.

“To follow His Majesty’s orders, we need a lot of supplies, but the amount we are currently receiving is far from enough. However, if they receive anything, the lives of the soldiers could be in danger. Then you appeared before me. What could it be but fate?”

At this level, I think Commander Thalia would have come to see me even if we hadn’t met here.

From my perspective, it seems impossible to solve the monster wave even if we increase the amount of consumables delivered, but Commander Thalia seemed to be starting the operation like this.

“Do you think you will be able to solve the monster wave if you receive consumables from me?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

“I was presumptuous. “I apologize.”

“It’s okay. To this extent. It’s not really that rude of you. You were being asked a more explicit question than the one you were asking just a moment ago. That question is probably something that everyone is curious about. “I just hope you will consider my position as I cannot answer that question.”

“of course.”

Where would a commander be if he was light-mouthed?

And the question I asked was one that I could either insist on saying yes to or say no to.

To divert the conversation, I decided to bring up something else.

“How much can be supplied to the military?”

“Everything you can do.”

“yes?”

“If possible, it would be nice if you brought everything you have.”

“Why do you say that if I bring it to a point where it’s burdensome?”

“ha ha ha! Do you really think that the military won’t be able to handle even a single business? “This hurts my pride a bit.”

Commander Thalia smiles broadly.

“However much! I hope that isn’t a lie. And from now on, I am saying this because you are also involved… .”

Commander Thalia gestures as if to come closer.

When I lowered my head and brought my ear closer, she came closer and whispered in my ear.

“The military is currently lacking everything. “The consumables we have been stockpiling are almost depleted.”

“… “It’s serious.”

“That’s why you said it doesn’t matter how much you bring. However, the quality check will be strict, so it would be best not to resort to unnecessary tricks. Please know that there is no trust between us yet and that you are only temporary.”

How many thieves must have been tampering with soldiers’ supplies?

If quality had not been concerned, there would have been no shortage of supplies for soldiers.

However, Commander Thalia believed that one defective product could mean the life of a soldier and was meticulous in managing supplies.

That’s why you can’t feel bad even when they say they’ll conduct a strict inspection.

‘This is a proper commander.’

Normally, if the situation is urgent, you might say that there is no need to be picky about management.

There may be people who take advantage of this situation and intentionally try to receive defective products.

From the soldiers’ point of view, even if it is a defective product, they will think that it is better than nothing.

However, because of Commander Thalia, who acts without compromise even in the smallest details, humanity was able to protect 40% of the land.

“There will be no problems with quality.”

“Aren’t you two too close? “Suhan is my partner.”

At that time, Erintina’s voice was heard.

Erintina, who had brought food on a plate, pouted her lips when she saw Commander Thalia and I standing close together.

Behind her, Baine also stood restlessly.

“Excuse me. “I was just having a moment to talk about something important.”

“Well, if it’s important, I should understand.”

Erintina joked and sat down next to me.

Commander Thalia sighed and said as if she couldn’t stop him.

“I don’t understand why a beautiful woman like you would keep someone like me in check.”

“Because you are the commander, I keep you in check. “What if you don’t know that?”

“… “Don’t say nonsense.”

“Mother, here.”

“okay.”

The plate Baine brought is placed on the table.

All there is in the plate is meat.

The quantity was enormous.

As I was looking at that with surprised eyes, Erintina tapped my side with her elbow.

Thanks to this, I was able to look elsewhere before I was caught.

“Hmm, it was grilled gently and well.”

I don’t know what Commander Thalia was saying, but no one approached her while she was eating.

However, Commander Thalia seemed to have no intention of discussing the transaction in the presence of other people, so the conversation focused on other topics.

“The magic wand you sold? The child has become much brighter since getting it. “When he suddenly came to me one day and said he needed money, I thought he had been scammed.”

“No, I explained it well.”

“You are still young. “I’m not mature enough to judge whether someone is a fraud or not.”

Commander Thalia scolds her firmly.

Baine instantly became sullen and pursed his lips.

‘You’re scared.’

However, Commander Thalia did not think it was strange, perhaps because she was used to her daughter’s reaction, and calmly ate the meat.

“You know what? Suhan also sold me good things.”

“To you too?”

“yes. “The reason I came here today is to pay for that item.”

“… … .”

Commander Thalia looks at me closely.

“Do you have anything you can sell to me?”

“sorry. “I don’t have anything that would please the Commander.”

“Huh, I see.”

I cleared my throat, probably feeling embarrassed for being greedy for a moment.

It seems that Baine is well aware of the performance of the magic wand he purchased.

‘Plus, if you’ve seen the performance, it’s worth being greedy.’

But unfortunately, Commander Thalia was not an SSR, so there was no equipment to sell.

“If something good comes out later, Suhan will sell it. “Commander, there’s no way you can easily get something that catches your eye.”

“Hmm. “That’s right.”

Fortunately, Erintina was by our side and made sure we didn’t embarrass each other.

Thanks to this, the potentially awkward atmosphere was relieved.

Erintina was definitely an excellent speaker, so the conversation continued amicably from then on, and even Bain, who had been depressed, regained his smile thanks to Erintina’s good care.

＊＊＊

For your information, the reason why Erintina joked about being with Commander Thalia is because her husband and Baine’s father has been dead for a long time.

Although she became a widow, Commander Thalia did not flinch and did her duty as a commander.

It was not because of love in the first place, but because it was a marriage that resulted from matchmaking between families.

“I can’t believe it. “Is this really all there is?”

“yes. These are the items to be delivered primarily. Here are the organized quantities and lists.”

Although she was a bit older, Commander Thalia was a beautiful woman that was not lacking in any way.

That’s why Erintina flattered her a little and said that she was keeping her in check since she was the commander.

The fact that a beauty like her can keep other women in check means that she is full of charm as a woman.

‘This is the only way to leave a clear impression on such an amazing person.’

Do you remember people flocking to talk to her at the party?

There is no law preventing me from being one of those people.

Becoming acquainted with her is essential for the future.

I had to do something that would leave a lasting impression so that it would not be gradually forgotten over time.

And there was one very easy way for me.

Boxes that were astounding to look at continued to be unloaded from the car.

The soldiers were tired of seeing the number of boxes, and Commander Thalia was the same.

“I think it will take some time to confirm.”

“You have to wait as long as you can.”

“under… “You surprised me.”

I guess I should thank you for surprising me because it was intentional.

But there were still more surprises ahead.

“When will the next delivery be?”

“All right, next delivery?”

“yes. Didn’t they say that if it’s a quality product, you can continue to supply it? “Are you saying you can’t give a definite answer because you haven’t verified the quality yet?”

Even from my perspective, it is a somewhat embarrassing quantity, but that does not mean that the military cannot accept it at all.

Consumables are literally consumables.

These are items that are consumed over and over again.

Even if you keep pouring it over and over again, like pouring water into a bottomless pot, it won’t be noticeable.

“It is not possible to give a definite answer right away, but if the quality verification is completed and passed, delivery is possible at any time. I’m just a little embarrassed. “After sending out this much quantity, they immediately started talking about the next delivery.”

“Then would it be better to wait some time before delivering?”

“Rather, how about storing up this amount until we have it and then delivering it all at once?”

It seems that Commander Thalia was satisfied with the supplies I showed her this time.

At this time, I struck a turning blow.

“The next delivery is also possible at this level.”

“!!!”

Commander Thalia’s eyes wavered.

Kraken’s sucker was additionally obtained this time.

We sold it right away, raised 500 million won in funds, and ran an item lottery for delivery.

And through Baine, he conveyed to Commander Thalia that he wanted to deliver the goods.

Why did you do this?

“Okay, if it passes the quality inspection without any problems…” .”

Of course, it was to get Commander Thalia’s attention.

The longer I deliver, the less interest Commander Thalia will have.

At that time, it becomes difficult to meet 1:1 in the first place.

Since I’m such a busy person, I’ll be heading back to the front lines soon.

So the best way was to leave a deep impression by delivering as quickly as possible.

“I will make you my official partner.”

If I was accepting it as a temporary measure because the situation was urgent, making me a formal partner meant that they would continue to accept my products in the future.

In other words, this means that we will make it an official supplier to the military.

Even as Commander Thalia, she couldn’t make such a decision carelessly since it was about moving the military’s finances.
