The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

5 – Recruitment Proposal – 2

***

A peaceful place?

You want to work in a place like that?

Then is there any reason to reject it?

I immediately agreed and looked at Lucille.

Her expression was a face that could be described as subtle rather than good in general.

I don’t know why. But I’m guessing it’s because it’s surprising how easily he hired someone as strong as me.

“Huh-huh. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Ah. But what do I have to do? Escort the lady?”

I did similar things a few times when I was in midfield.

Especially when escorting young girls with bad personalities, there was a time when I wanted to kill them.

But if I had endured all of that, I’d be able to handle escort work in another world.

Also, doesn’t Lucy have a good personality unlike those young ladies?

Well, and it’s okay to say that Lucy’s real personality is as dirty as those young ladies.

Because there is something called mercy for a pacifist who was reborn in another world.

I wouldn’t draw a knife unless it’s a dire situation.

Perhaps.

“Your job is to fight rather than escort. It’s a pity to use those good skills only for escort.”

Huh? What do you mean? I looked at Atram and he let out his snort as if he was looking at something.

“Didn’t I say it was a peaceful place?”

“Even if it’s a peaceful place, monsters appear. Especially in the case of the Stein Territory, it’s not too far from the monster’s forest.”

Should I see that part as inevitable? Well, since this is a different world, it would be right to meet this standard.

“Ah. And you won’t be offended by me for speaking plainly, right? If that’s the case, be respectful…”

“No. No. It’s okay. Take it easy.”

“Then you can speak comfortably.”

“Ha ha ha. I’m comfortable with this.”

An honorific word that symbolizes respect and peace. Since I was a new born, I decided to take the pacifist route, so I decided to only use honorific words from now on.

Isn’t it human beings who don’t want to pretend to be with someone who respects them in the first place?

This is better if you want to live a peaceful life avoiding useless fights.

“Really? Anyway. Anyway, what level is it? I know it’s strong, but…”

“It’s enough to protect my body and my escort. hahahahaha.”

“Judging from the previous fights, it doesn’t seem like that much. Where did you learn the sword?”

“Huh? Are you doing a census right now?”

“So what did you think?”

Honestly, he’s a person whose origins are unclear, so he probably wants to investigate to some extent.

I have no intention of hiding it, so let’s tell it.

“I studied on my own as the 37th head of the four newspapers.”

“…Okay. There’s nothing you can do about it if you’re going to keep pushing with that setting.”

Is that true?!

I’m from another world?!

You don’t believe me.

“Anyway, let’s do our best in the future.”

“hahahahaha! That’s what I want to say!”

Although there is some mistrust, it seems that something like a sense of fellowship has developed.

After becoming the first person in the world, there were a lot of people who drew knives, so I missed even this little trust.

As expected, this world is the best.

“Please take good care of me too. As you can see, I’m an elf… And an archer. Of course, I don’t just use a bow. I can handle a sword well in my own way.”

Elan, who seems to have a cool personality just like her cool beauty, spoke to her.

She approached, shaking her head with a long golden ponytail that came down to her waist. She held out her hand to me with a nice smile.

Such a friendly attitude. Very good.

“Thank you very much. I mainly use a sword, but I know how to handle pretty much any weapon.”

“You have great confidence. Do you want to check your skills properly later?”

“We’ll talk about that later. How much older are you? They say elves basically live a long time…”

“Age? 131 Years old.”

“Ah. Elderly.”

“…Elves are long-lived, and humans are in their early twenties?!”

“But your year isn’t my day. Elderly. If you don’t like him…”

“Kwaaak! I really can’t forgive you for calling me grandma!!”

You have a low boiling point. An elf who is good to tease in moderation.

And I don’t draw my weapon just because I’m angry.

I missed you. Such an atmosphere.

“Whoops. I look forward to seeing you in the future.”

Angrily, she shrugged her shoulders and held out her hand to me again. She took her hand and shook it lightly.

Come on. Would your employer like it if you showed an affinity that allows you to get along with coworkers like this?

I glanced at Lucy.

Her expression still looked bad.

The atmosphere of the people I will work with in the future is good, but the expression of the employer is bad. Could it be that I don’t like it?

But it’s no use. Because the decision has already been made.

“…Actually, our manor is not that wealthy, so I don’t think we can properly afford the salary of a talented person like Cheonyoung…”

Ah. Was it because of that?

Okay. When you recruit a master like me, the pay is never small.

But this time I can work for you at a special price. The work atmosphere itself doesn’t seem bad, and they’re the first people I met after coming to another world.

“A comfortable place to sleep. A hearty meal. And some living expenses. That’s enough.”

This was something Moorim could not even dream of.

An assassin who comes to you whenever you sleep.

A poison that is sprayed whenever you try to eat something.

It was like that every time, so I had to cook, and I either napped or couldn’t sleep at all.

If it’s not a desperate situation like that, what’s the problem with compensation?

Money can be earned somehow.

If you don’t want to be affectionate, let’s secretly rob a wealthy bandit or aristocrat nearby.

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“If you really don’t like it, you can reapply it later when the estate becomes rich. Huhuhu. You’re very lucky, lady. It’s rare that a person of that level is hired at such a low price.”

“Thank you very much for that. Now. Shall we go soon? Cheonyoung. I’ll take care of the lady like before.”

“Whoops. Lady. Until we get out of this forest, we’ll be together everywhere.”

“…Yeah… Now, please take care of me.”

Now that I’m less worried about that, I hope you can ease your expression a bit. Siri worried.

We fought four more battles while getting out of the forest.

In terms of camp, it is going out on the road belonging to the gate of death, but the battles fought on the way changed the gate of life to the gate of life.

I felt the monsters coming from other places to stop us from leaving.

Huh. Did you already get out?

“Ahh… I finally got out of the woods.”

“How long does it take from here to Yeongji?”

“Wait a minute. The current location is… Um. It’s not that far from the manor, so you’ll be able to get there in half a day.”

“But you came from somewhere, so you went through this forest? To be honest, that forest. Just looking at it from the outside, it’s a very dangerous place.”

“Haa. Well, now that we’ve decided to work together, you can tell me. It’s harvest season soon. But during harvest season, monsters often attack the territory to plunder food.”

“Huh. Those are the ones to kill.”

“That’s right. It’s as if they’re coming to find what they’ve entrusted to you. The former lord of the Stein estate. So, the lady’s father stopped them the year before last too…”

“Ah… That’s unfortunate. Rest in peace for the deceased.”

“Anyway, because of that, the power was very low, so I went to the nearby territory to borrow troops.”

“But look…”

“Yes. I couldn’t borrow it. The lord of that place said so. Lady Lucy said that if she became the lord’s concubine, she would lend her troops.”

“Huh! Does that happen in this place too?!”

Whether it’s Joongwon or the other world, when you see a pretty woman, everyone turns their eyes the same way.

“Ghmm. If Lady Cecil from the academy comes, everything will be resolved…”

“Miss Cecil?”

“She’s Lady Lucy’s twin sister. She’s an excellent wizard, so if she stays with her, most of the problems in the estate will be solved.”

“Ah. No! Her sister is at an important time… I can’t embarrass her sister with her estate!”

Lucy hurriedly interrupted Atram’s words. But when I heard her words, there was a reason why she opposed the coming of her older sister, an outstanding wizard named Cecil, to the estate.

Cecil is a talented person who is ranked at the top of the academy, where only talented people from all over the continent gather.

She was there She was recognized by many professors at the academy and even received her scholarship and she was studying magic.

She is, but she’s not even for a moment, she spends almost the equivalent of a season outside the academy? Otherwise, her current position at the academy would be lost.

It wasn’t that there weren’t people who came up against Cecil. As such, it was clear that if she were to leave her seat for an extended period of time, she would be swarmed by those seeking her place.

Therefore, it was Lucy’s position that it was okay for her to come for a few days, but it was absolutely not allowed to stay in her estate for a long time.

Hey! Even that heart that thinks of her sister! Excellent!

“Whoa… Lady. It’s amazing how much she thinks of her sister. Don’t worry, lady. The kind of thing you think won’t happen.”

I smiled harder than I do now towards Lucy, who still had a delicate face.

Anyway, it’s a monster attack…

I can’t leave them alone if they’re going to harm the peace of the place where I live.
