After the conversation about the bet was concluded, the friendly atmosphere continued until the end of the meal.

‘Isn’t Commander Thalia going to be accused of corruption anymore?’

The unit Baine will be dispatched to will be a special forces unit that travels to the most dangerous places, and it will be a proud achievement for Commander Thalia.

Although the relationship between the two was close, it didn’t conflict to the point where it was completely out of sync, and it seemed like they realized that they were for each other to some extent.

‘It’s a legend that he only found out about this after I spoon-fed him to him… .’

Still, the relationship between the two will no longer be broken and fall apart like in Vine’s personal scenario.

‘But is it still too early to let down our guard?’

In Baine’s personal scenario, it was important for the two people to have a falling out, but it was also important for the enemy to attack Commander Thalia from outside.

Therefore, Baine’s personal scenario could not be considered completely finished yet.

In addition, the aftermath of the unorganized monster wave was also a problem.

“There are still quite a few remnants left.”

“Even so, they are nothing more than a bunch of beggars. “As weak as it is, it’s quick and knows how to hide, so it just takes a long time.”

Commander Thalia dispatched soldiers frequently to kill the remaining remnants.

Most of the main force of the monster wave died within Baine’s huge waterfall barrier, but the monsters that stayed back due to their weak strength were the main culprits that bothered the soldiers.

The reason I wanted to catch them until the end was to check the effectiveness of the purification liquid I had provided to her.

“I guess one of the reasons why the search was difficult was because the terrain was so messed up.”

“Removing the piled up monster corpses is also a big task. “There is a lot of work to do in many ways.”

The aftermath of the monster wave is bigger than expected.

Until yesterday, the children, who had been taking a leisurely rest after solving the monster wave, returned to the academy with medals placed on their chests as their dispatch period ended.

Actually, I tried to go back with the kids, but the commander wouldn’t let me go, probably because of something related to the purification fluid, so I couldn’t go back.

I also wanted to check how effective the purification liquid was, so I decided to stay.

“What do you mean, you can’t give the item away?”

It was then that something absurd happened out of nowhere.

“Sakalan has completely locked up the supply. “I don’t have anything to send.”

“… “Is it okay for a military supplier to not provide goods as they please?”

Commander Thalia answered my question, saying that of course it was nonsense.

“Of course not.”

It was absurd that the military supply company said it could not send the goods.

If they were going to attack Commander Thalia, it was a very foolish and stupid plan.

This is clearly being carried out as part of a contract, so what kind of guts would they have to do something like this?

“That’s a situation that even Sakalan can’t help.”

“A situation that can’t be helped? Do you think that makes sense now? “Something like a natural disaster and everything burning down?!”

“yes. you’re right! “It wasn’t a natural disaster, but there was a fire at the production plant and it completely burned down.”

“Ugh?”

Is this correct?

I thought it was an attack on Commander Thalia, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Who would have thought that the entire factory would burn down?

“It’s really all burned down?”

“yes!”

“Anyway, it doesn’t make sense that there’s no supply to send to us, does it? “Shouldn’t there be something that has been produced so far?”

“Ah, if there was anything left, that would have been the case. “Even the warehouse was completely robbed.”

“Everything? “All that was burned?”

“yes. “There is nothing.”

and… .

When I heard the story, I suddenly felt sympathy.

Although I immediately felt sympathy for the man who resembled a rat.

‘How much did you lose?’

I know there’s no need to worry about the rich, but I felt sick to my stomach when I thought about all the things that would have been burned.

“No matter what, I don’t have enough things to use right away, so what can I do? “At least we have to send goods to the front lines!”

Normally, I would have been stockpiling emergency inventory.

But didn’t they carry out a large-scale operation a few days ago to resolve the monster wave?

You have to rush to refill the empty inventory, but it’s very frustrating because it’s blocked.

I don’t know about other places, but cutting things off on the front line was problematic.

No matter how bad the situation was, it would have been normal if all the items piled up elsewhere had been scraped off.

“How much stock is left?”

“uh… There is only this much. Haven’t you used it a lot lately?”

“Oh my, at this rate, I’ll have to go barefoot from the next few days.”

If you don’t have consumables, the chance of getting hurt while dealing with monsters will increase significantly.

Even if you don’t know where you originally were, isn’t it true that you know where you were born?

Soldiers who are already accustomed to using consumables and catching them will make more mistakes.

It was natural that I couldn’t just watch that happen.

“Please try to scrape it off by asking somewhere else. “If we run out of supplies like this, it will be a big problem.”

“I will do my best to inquire.”

While listening to the two people’s conversation, I couldn’t hold back any longer and raised my hand.

“wait a minute. “Commander.”

“hmm?”

“I think you’ve forgotten me.”

“…?!”

The commander, who seemed to have forgotten my existence because he was so preoccupied, needed to be reminded once again what I was doing.

Commander Thalia immediately remembered what I was trying to say.

“ah!!”

“Yes? There won’t be any problems.”

“Right. “You were there!”

“yes. I’m definitely one of the military supply companies, right? How much do you need? Just say the word. “I will fill it all in.”

For me, who can create infinite things as long as he has money, this wasn’t a problem at all.

There is absolutely no need for Commander Thalia to scold her subordinates and make them suffer.

“You’re going to need more than you think. “Is that okay?”

“Is there anything I can’t do as long as you make sure I pay the price?”

“Haha!”

Commander Thalia burst into laughter at my confident answer.

“I wonder what would have happened if you weren’t there, so may I ask you to enlist again? “You can really treat me well.”

“Ahaha, I like it now.”

I responded with an awkward smile to Commander Thalia’s burning eyes.

“Tsk, no matter how much I think about it, it’s a shame.”

Please be patient, Commander.

“Where is the list of quantities that were originally supposed to come in? “Bring it right away.”

“The quantity is enormous. Are you really able to prepare all of this?”

“okay! “It’s possible, so don’t worry and just prepare to receive the goods.”

Commander Thalia gave an order calmly, with an expression that seemed to have wiped away all worries.

＊ ＊ ＊

“This…ha! No, it’s not even Sakalan…”

The soldiers who were checking the supplies of supplies looked dumbfounded, as if they were possessed by a ghost.

I had been using only Sakalan’s products, thinking that they were the best, but I was embarrassed to see that this guy’s products that suddenly appeared were much better than that.

“There’s no problem, right?”

“Yes, yes. I confirmed there was no problem.”

“Where will the next delivery go?”

“You’re delivering more from here? You brought this much?”

“Because there are plenty of things.”

The soldier told me the location of the next warehouse with a somewhat uncertain expression.

I looked at the soldier closely and asked.

“Is there some problem I don’t know about?”

“Yes? No. Thanks to the boss, the problem has disappeared.”

“But your expression is very strange.”

“Well, it’s not like that.”

The soldier denied it, but I was already convinced that this guy was suspicious.

‘Let’s just wait… What would happen if the accident that happened in Sakalan was an intentional act?’

There is no need to worry because I have already solved the problem.

But if they touched it first, shouldn’t they know in advance and prepare for it?

There’s no way I can just touch this one thing.

“Commander, could you please do a background check on just one soldier?”

“Do you want me to investigate the soldier’s background?”

As soon as I finished delivering, I went to see the commander.

“There’s someone a bit suspicious.”

“…Tell me in detail.”

Even though I asked to investigate the soldier’s background because he had built up trust through many experiences with me, the commander took the attitude that he would listen first.

I conveyed all the suspicious feelings I felt toward the soldier to the commander.

“It’s definitely suspicious.”

It doesn’t make sense to look like you’re upset about something you should enjoy.

“I am even more suspicious because Sakalan came to visit me. No matter how much of an accident occurred, doesn’t it make sense not to send items to the front lines?”

And what happens if we can’t stop the monster?

There would be a huge loss of life, and there is no way the country wouldn’t have known about it.

So it was clear that someone was manipulating it behind the scenes.

“There are a lot of things that are too uncomfortable to just ignore, so I think we need to look into it.”

“Commander, you know that there is someone targeting you, right?”

“I clearly remember what you told me.”

“Perhaps this incident could be the beginning. It seems that Sakalan is planning to push that person even at the cost of great loss, so you should not take it lightly.”

“Thanks to you, we stopped Sakalan’s plan, so what’s there to be afraid of? Hahaha! Now that I think about it, it’s dizzying to think what would have happened if you weren’t there.”

At that time, after finishing speaking, the commander suddenly brought his face close to mine.

“!?”

As I was surprised at the sudden narrowing of the distance, the commander smiled and said.

“I don’t know why you’re trying to take away something so valuable to me.”

“Are you saying I’m taking something from you, Commander?”

I felt unfair because I had no intention of doing so.

“Otherwise, doesn’t it make sense to treat someone so unilaterally? I have rarely experienced unreasonable favor in my life.”

“……”

Actually, she’s right.

Because I didn’t help them for no reason.

This was because all actions taken toward them were in line with the big picture of cleaning up contaminated areas.

“What on earth are you thinking of doing so well to our mother and daughter? No matter how long I wait, you never tell me your purpose, so I’m at a loss. I wonder what you want from my mother and daughter by doing this. The favors are piling up, but I can’t see a way to repay them. ”

“Um… you may not believe it, but I don’t really want anything. No, my current goal is to create a special unit and purify the contaminated area.”

“The goal is to purify the contaminated area? Hmm.”

Sweet-!

The Commander took out a cigar from his breast pocket.

The Commander, who lit a candle with a candle in his mouth, glares at me with captivating eyes.

“I wonder what you’re hiding, but…”

The Commander sucks on the tobacco.

And the red lips that coolly sucked in the tobacco opened and spit out white smoke.

Pure white smoke slowly pouring down next to my face.

“Whew~ Someday, your purpose will be revealed. I’ll be waiting for that day. I’m looking forward to seeing what desire you’re hiding.”

It seemed like she didn’t believe the purpose I was talking about at all.
