Chapter 152 . 3 Years (6)
2029, April 3rd .
In Chameleon Troupe’s secret hideout located in England’s Bristol Channel, I was fully relaxed and reading a newspaper on the couch . Next to me, Boss was playing a game .
[English Royal Court guild partners with mercenary groups… . ]
[English Channel’s high-intermediate rank monster, Megalodon, has been defeated by English Royal Court guild’s Team 1 . Rachel, the guild’s youngest team leader, shows her exceptional skills…]
[Princess Rachel appointed as the Royal Court guild’s youngest vice leader . ]
[Trust in England at an all-time low . ]
Currently, popularity of England’s leadership was steadily going downhill . Ordinary newspapers and even the Violet Times predicted a grim future for the country .
“Hm…”
Looking at the headline, I sighed and put down the newspaper . The news I was hoping to see was nowhere to be found .
The news about ‘entrance tickets’ should be popping up soon . How much longer was I supposed to wait?
“Knng~”
Feeling a bit sore, I stood up and stretched . Then, I looked around Chameleon Troupe’s hideout which was about 65% complete .
A lot had changed in the past 3 years . In a way, it was quite dramatic .
To be honest, I was proud of the changes I brought .
The dome ceiling above had crystal chandeliers and gem-like lights beautifully hanging down . The red, vintage-style walls were full of art Boss brought back from her secret stash .
It wasn’t just the interior I was proud about . The hideout had many convenient facilities .
The goblin coffee shop in the corner of the lobby provided highest-grade coffee, and many of my magical furniture pieces were also placed around the hideout .
In the center… what was that again?
A ginormous mana crystal that was almost as big as Cheok Jungyeong’s thigh was purifying the air inside the cave .
For the record, that almond-shaped crystal was something I took from Boss’ secret vault . I remembered Boss throwing a tantrum about not wanting to keep it . She reluctantly agreed when I threatened that I wouldn’t comb her hair ever again .
However, that was still only the tip of the iceberg . What I just described was only the hideout’s lobby .
Outside the lobby, there was a hot spring, a shooting range, a training room, a library, a game room, a cafeteria, etc…
“Kuhaha—!”
The door to the lobby suddenly shot open, and a giant stormed in . Boss, who was playing a game on the couch, looked up with a frown .
“It’s crazy out there, Boss!”
“…Did something happen outside?”
“Oh, Newbie! You’re here too?”
Cheok Jungyeong smiled brightly as he held something up . It was a sea monster twice the size of his body .
“Monsters underwater are going crazy!”
“…Gyeong, what is that . ”
“A sea monster . This blind bastard kept bumping into me, so I hooked it up . It’s a blue ocean fish . ”
Blue ocean fish . It was a delicious species of fish that was classified as a fish rather than a monster .
Hearing these three words, Boss smacked her lips . Then, she glanced up at me .
She was clearly telling me to cook it for her .
“Blue ocean fish, huh . ”
I started cooking for Boss three months ago, mostly because controlling her with just combing her hair could get difficult .
Like how the monkey in the story of the ‘monkey’s flower sandal’ grew too used to wearing sandals, my strategy was to slowly get Boss addicted to things I provided until she couldn’t live without me .
Not that Boss was a monkey, of course .
“You know about it?”
Cheok Jungyeong laughed and threw the blue ocean fish down .
For the record, other members didn’t know I was good at cooking . Because I was too lazy to cook for everyone, I only revealed it to Boss . She considered it special treatment and enjoyed it .
“You can keep this guy in the fridge and eat it later . ”
Hearing his kind offer, I looked down at the blue ocean fish . I wasn’t sure if it was still alive or spasming out after death, but the way it violently flopped around was scary .
“Boss, come out if you’re bored . It’s really fun . ”
“…I’m fine . You can enjoy it alone . ”
“Hehe, don’t regret it later . ”
Cheok Jungyeong’s latest hobby was fishing . Because having to use the Portal was too troublesome, I created a secret pathway connecting the hideout to the ocean (obviously, it was covered with an illusion magic and a fortress-grade seal to prevent outsiders from recognizing it) . Ever since Cheok Jungyeon took a liking to it, he’s been using it once a week to go fight sea monsters . I remembered him saying something about wanting to overcome the restraint of the ocean .
“Anyways, I’m going back out!”
Cheok Jungyeong left the lobby .
KOONG!
He should really stop slamming the door close .
“Oh right—!”
Cheok Jungyeong quickly came back in .
“I almost forgot . Oi, Bling, give me an americano . ”
The barista goblin quickly reacted to Cheok Jungyeong’s command . As expected of a barista with a year’s worth of experience, the goblin named Bling made an americano in the blink of an eye .
“Perfect . ”
Gulp, gulp—
Cheok Jungyeong emptied the 2-liter cup in only three seconds before leaving .
“Guys . ”
When I clapped, the six normal goblins gathered around the blue ocean fish .
—Krrk .
—Kururu .
The goblins discussed which part of the fish to grab then ended up equally putting it on their shoulder .
“…Newbie?”
Boss, who was watching from the couch silently, suddenly asked . For some reason, she was already drooling .
“Yes?”
“When is breakfast?”
Boss was honest when it came to food .
In fact, most strong people were like that . They could rein in their sexual desire or desire to sleep, but they couldn’t withstand hunger because of their bodies’ high metabolism .
“30 minutes later . ”
“…I see, ssp . ”
Boss nodded with a look of anticipation .
I grinned and turned on my smartwatch . Just in case, I checked Violet Banquet for any news on ‘entrance tickets’, but the only thing that popped up were tickets to amusement parks . Disappointed, I checked the trending topics .
[Fenrir unseen for six months! Was he just another seasonal mercenary?]
There was another article about Fenrir . When I was active, they criticized me for using my Gift for money, but now that I wasn’t, they were berating for a different reason .
I skipped the article and checked the comments .
[Rachel0418]
Then what, you expect a mercenary to work for free? - . - I’m sure Fenrir is taking a rest because people like you keep bothering him . - . -
“Pft . ”
As I expected, there was another comment from Rachel . Was she looking at online articles all the time?
Click .
I liked the comment without much thought .
Then suddenly, a lightbulb went on in my head .
“…Oh right . ”
The Royal Court guild was fated to obtain ‘entrance tickets’ faster than other guilds .
When it came to entrance tickets, their ‘rank’ was the most important . Still, it was nice to have extra tickets . Since I was also worried about England’s situation which was worse than what I predicted…
“Boss . ”
“Mm?”
“I have an idea . ”
Staring at Boss’ eyes, I began to choose words for a negotiation .
But regardless of what my idea was, Boss was likely to agree with the blue ocean fish being my negotiation tool .
**
April .
The Royal Court guild greeted its new apprentice heroes . In any other year, England should be booming with tourists who would come to enjoy its beautiful spring .
“…Haa . ”
The weather was great, but the Royal Court guild’s vice-leader Rachel was sighing .
“I didn’t learn any of this in Cube…”
She became the youngest vice-leader because the previous vice-leader was scouted by a guild in Korea . As the position was practically pushed onto her, she didn’t know what to do with the heavy responsibility she now had . England and the Royal Court guild’s situation was that bad . Rachel didn’t blame the vice-leader who ran away either .
“…Ehew . ”
Rachel scrolled through the emails on her computer screen and sighed .
[Thank you for contacting Desolate Moon . We received the Royal Court guild’s request for aid, but military negotiations should be done through the Association…]
The Royal Court guild’s requests for aid were all declined . Of course, as the above example showed, not all were flat-out rejections . In fact, most advised to request aid from the Hero Association .
However, Rachel knew all too well what that meant . Once the Association was brought in, the Royal Court guild would lose too much influence and control . Just like how Roton Corporation schemed to take control over Clancy Islet, the Association was likely to ask England something similar .
England couldn’t afford to set its house on fire to catch a flea .
…Though, the flea was absurdly big .
“Sylvie, how many representatives are we scheduled to meet today?”
Rachel called her personal secretary .
—13 in total . 11 of them are already waiting in the building .
When the number of monsters exploded, the Royal Court guild decided to partner with mercenary groups . It only made sense as they were separate from the Association’s influence .
“So most of them are here . ”
Of course, as the number of monsters in England increased, the Royal Court guild and its Heroes would gain more experience . Then, their guild ranking would naturally go up and they would have more monster corpses to use for research and development .
However, the question was whether England had the power to overcome the odds .
—Shall I send them in?
“Yes, one at a time . ”
**
England, London outskirt .
Ordinary citizens were full of tension as they walked around the streets . Nowadays, they didn’t feel safe even in their country’s capital . The monsters living in River Thames were too ferocious .
“I’m going to leave the country for a while . ”
“Where are you going?”
“Korea . My older brother has residency there . He’s not in Seoul, but it should still be safer than here . ”
“Ah, I’m jealous . ”
They didn’t sound too hopeful either as they worried about their country’s future and their loved ones’ safety .
Almost as if to confirm their worries…
Wiing—
Wiing—
The siren suddenly went off, alerting that monsters had invaded .
At the same time, a manhole in the middle of the street shot open and monsters began to climb up . Sea Moles, Greed Toads, Giant Catfish, etc . They were all low-rank ~ low-intermediate rank monsters, but not only were they too much for ordinary civilians to deal with, there also were just too many of them .
“Uu, uwaak!”
Monsters that popped out of the manhole quickly took over the streets . Flashing their bloodthirsty eyes, they chased people who were running away .
Monsters that popped out of the manhole quickly took over the streets . Flashing their bloodthirsty eyes, they chased people who were running away .
The civilians did all they could to avoid being devoured .
However, without guns, even low-rank monsters were too much for ordinary people to handle .
—Ribbit!
A Greed Toad jumped on top of a woman .
“L-Let me go!”
She punched the toad’s face, but it was futile . The toad opened its mouth with a cheeky smile .
…It was then .
BOOM!
The toad’s head suddenly exploded .
“Uu, uuu… . ”
A mysterious attack saved the woman . Suddenly being covered with the fluids of a monster, the woman was unable to properly assess the situation . But knowing that she was saved, she began to escape .
At that moment, another monster jumped towards her . This time, it was a Sea Mole .
—Grrr…
“Ah…”
However, the Sea Mole’s head exploded before it could even touch her . Seeing this, the woman finally realized that something was off . Other people who were running away had also stopped to stare behind her .
The woman followed their line of sight and turned around .
“… . ”
Streaks of light were raining down from the sky .
It was a scene she had seen before in a YouTube video .
Tudududu—
Bullets that obliterated monsters . This terrifying barrage of bullets was lighting up the sky as it annihilated hundreds of monsters .
From the onset to the end, only three minutes passed by .
The screams of chaos ringing out from the streets were long gone .
“…Wow . ”
“My god… . ”
The civilians were all staring at a single man who was sitting on a bike . Because of his helmet, no one could see his face .
Vroom—
His bike roared .
While everyone stared at him in awe, he quickly disappeared .
“T-That, that must have been Fen, Fenrir!”
A motorcycle-enthusiast who loved to slaughter monsters with a mystical gun .
He was a mercenary who was famous even among ordinary people .
**
Vice-leader’s office of the English Royal Court guild .
Rachel was currently in a meeting with representatives of mercenary groups .
“As you know, we achieved rank 10 in the most recent mercenary group rankings . ”
Her first meeting was with the Skid Row Mercenary Group .
The group’s leader initiated the negotiation with a haughty attitude and tone . Albeit reluctant, this was something Rachel could accept . But because he was asking for too much, she instantly rejected him despite the Royal Court guild’s current situation .
“Ha, I’m speechless . ”
“You can speak . ”
“How can you be so beautiful?”
“…Pardon?”
Her next meeting was with the Great Tiger Mercenary Group, which was around rank 14 .
Its leader was a man in his mid-30s, and he was interested in Rachel’s appearance above anything else . Although he made it seem like the meeting was a blind date, the conditions he offered were reasonable .
“England is in a bad spot, right? Of aerial, land, and sea monsters, sea monsters are accepted as the most difficult to deal with . Why don’t you just ask the Association for help?”
Its leader was a man in his mid-30s, and he was interested in Rachel’s appearance above anything else . Although he made it seem like the meeting was a blind date, the conditions he offered were reasonable .
“England is in a bad spot, right? Of aerial, land, and sea monsters, sea monsters are accepted as the most difficult to deal with . Why don’t you just ask the Association for help?”
“That’s our own business . ”
“…Are you looking down on mercenaries? You think we wouldn’t understand just because we’re uneducated?”
“No…”
Just like that, Rachel continued her meetings .
Many of the leaders were arrogant or stupid . Leaders from the higher ranked mercenary groups were especially so .
The leader of the world’s rank 5 mercenary group was particularly distasteful . The way he ogled her with his lustful eyes made Rachel want to pull out her weapon .
“Huu . ”
After a long time, all 13 meetings came to an end . She didn’t feel that it was a waste of time . Rank 14 and rank 9 seemed to be reasonable .
—Um, vice-leader .
At that moment, her secretary suddenly called her .
“Yes, what is it?”
—Um, someone from another mercenary group just showed up .
“…Weren’t we done?”
—We were, but this one claimed to be a mercenary and asked to meet vice-leader .
‘Then why don’t you just kick him out?’
Rachel pressed her forehead .
—I wanted to send him back, but he seems to be someone famous .
“Oh… I see . ”
‘Do mercenaries get more arrogant with more fame? I didn’t want to be biased for the sake of that person…’
“If he didn’t contact us before… ehew, just let him in . ”
‘It’s not like I’ll lose anything by seeing another person . ’
—Understood .
The secretary replied .
Rachel let out a deep sigh as she tapped on her desk .
After about five minutes…
Tok, tok—
Someone knocked on her door .
“Come in . ”
Rachel spoke with an exhausted voice .
Kiik—
The door slowly opened and heavy footsteps rang out .
Rachel slowly raised her head . She saw the mercenary that just entered .
It was a man clad entirely in black . His hair was in a clean pomade-style and his well-kempt beard made him particularly handsome .
As soon as Rachel saw him, her eyes widened .
It was only natural . Despite the slightly different aura he had, Rachel was too familiar with him .
“It’s nice to meet you . ”
The man greeted her casually with a charming baritone voice .
Then, he sat down in front of her naturally, exuding a pleasant scent .
“Ah…”
Because of their sudden reunion, Rachel was at a loss for words . Her voice didn’t come out . Her five senses seemed to have frozen .
“I’m Jeronimo’s Fenrir . ”
Rachel was unable to tell whether the man knew of her plight . However, she saw the warm smile he had on his face .
