I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 383

Episode 383. Request for designation (1)

Arin and her friends blinked at the story Yuri told the staff.

‘Energetic?’

‘Where did you see this?’

‘hungry?’

To be honest, no matter how I put it in a positive way, the atmosphere around me didn’t feel particularly lively.

Rather, it is an atmosphere where you can feel a sense of tension somewhere.

On the other hand, the young female employee who heard Yuri’s question opened her eyes wide in slight surprise.

“You look young, but I guess you have more experience than I thought?”

“A little?”

Yuri shrugged and slid her mercenary badge towards the staff.

Only then did a loud voice come out from the employee who had belatedly confirmed the mercenary card.

“Okay, general level?!”

Even among mercenaries, a general-level mercenary was not a very common rank.

Of course, even if that’s the case, how could he not have seen general-level mercenaries, as he is an employee of the Mercenary Association?

Still, the reason she was surprised was because of Yuri’s youthful, even youthful appearance.

‘At that age, he’s already a general!’

In order to receive a general-level mercenary badge, you need to have skills, but you also need to have achievements to back it up.

But at such a young age, he had a track record that was worthy of recognition by the Mercenary Association.

That meant that the young mercenary in front of him was no ordinary person.

‘Why did you ask such a question?’

It is not easy to read the war clouds just by looking at the atmosphere of the city and the mercenaries, unless you have some experience.

Otherwise, you should have had a good feeling from the beginning.

As the staff looked at Yuri in amazement at that fact, a small commotion arose around them.

“General level?”

“He looks young, but he’s already a general at that age.”

Most of the mercenaries murmured after hearing the employee’s outburst of shock.

Only then did the employee realize his mistake and apologize to Yuri with a face filled with embarrassment and regret.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was careless… … .”

Since I unintentionally exposed the mercenary’s personal information, I had nothing to say even if the other person got angry.

But for some reason, Yuri didn’t get angry, but instead smiled.

“Okay, just take care of the storage thing quickly.”

“Oh, of course!”

The employee nodded vigorously, blushing slightly at Yuri’s bright smile.

Then, a strange sight flashed through Yuri’s eyes again.

He leaned forward slightly and asked in a soft tone.

“And when are you going to answer the question I asked earlier?”

“Huh? I asked you earlier… Ah!”

Only then did the employee realize what Yuri was talking about.

She answered in a heated voice, as if trying to make up for her mistake from earlier.

“That’s right, it’s war!”

“War? Not a fight?”

“Yes, war!”

War or fighting.

In a broad sense, it was the same anyway, but after the Sword Master conquered the world, the expression war was not used often.

Wars between nations have completely disappeared.

This was because fights between powers rarely took place on a scale that could be called war.

Instead, the modern era of swordsmanship saw smaller conflicts occurring more frequently around the world than large-scale battles.

This fact was well known to the mercenaries who always traveled to conflict zones to sell their value, so they rarely used the word war.

However, an employee of the Mercenary Association, who knew this better than anyone, mentioned the word war without hesitation.

It is natural that Yuri is interested in this.

“Hmm… … .”

Yuri snorted softly and leaned her upper body closer to the employee, whispering softly.

“Has the war already begun? Or is it just about to begin?”

The employee faced Yuri’s face from a distance of only about 20 cm.

The moment her eyes met with those of his charming golden eyes, she barely managed to hold on as her legs began to give out without her knowing it.

But I couldn’t help but lose the strength in my mouth and answered as if I was possessed.

“Oh, not yet… I heard that it wouldn’t be strange if an all-out war broke out at any time.”

“Where is the war between where?”

“That is… I can’t say where, it’s all over Belgrade… … .”

“The entire Belgrade administrative district? Is there really going to be a big war?”

“That’s right… It’s a war that Belgrade is divided into the West and the East.”

“Do you happen to know the specific details of the war? Like what caused the war to break out?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

The employee was about to open his mouth without even knowing what he was saying.

“stop!”

The employee’s slightly dazed eyes suddenly brightened at the voice that suddenly interrupted.

She looked back in surprise.

“Ah! Hey, senior!”

The person who appeared behind her was a male employee who appeared to be in his 30s.

“You go and get some air. I’ll take care of this place.”

The newly appeared man pulled his junior away from the counter.

The female employee who was pushed like that left the place, and the male employee who took her place glared at Yuri.

“Please stop harassing our innocent newbies and buy the information you want.”

Yuri sat up, her lips slightly licking at his determination.

“I’ll buy the information later, so just take care of the storage issue first.”

Yuri, who was not as cheerful as before, returned to her usual way of speaking.

The male employee glanced at him with regret and then coldly picked up the mercenary badge and disappeared.

Looking at his back, Yuri muttered softly.

“Tch, it was almost done.”

***

The main street of a port city.

The moment I left the gold bars at the storage and entered a quiet alley, I was amazed at the sight of Arin’s glass.

“Wow… This is the first time I’ve seen someone use a beauty trap!”

At this, Yuri proudly stuck out her chest.

“It is very wise to make good use of the weapon you are born with.”

As always, Gunther’s scolding came at his attitude that seemed to show no shame at all.

“… Since when has it become wise to try to get information from a female employee of the Mercenary Association with your blessed looks?”

And Yuri ignored Gunther’s nagging so casually.

Gunther let out a small sigh as he looked at Yuri, who didn’t even respond to his nagging.

Eventually he asked another question.

“I saw earlier that you seemed very interested in war news.”

Fortunately, Yuri answered that question.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Is it even necessary to say that it is obvious?”

“Tsk, you still think you’re a master because you keep calling yourself a master?”

“… … ?”

“Don’t you know what your job is now?”

“My job? What is that… Ah!”

“Ah! What the heck. You have no sense of professionalism. Tsk! Don’t forget. We’re mercenaries now.”

“… I know. It’s just that I’m not used to it yet.”

“If you still can’t adapt even after receiving the mercenary badge a month ago, is being a mercenary just a hobby of yours?”

“… It’s definitely not that light-hearted.”

“Well, since that’s not the case, I won’t nag you any further… Anyway, the place that mercenaries like us should be most interested in is the conflict zone. Because… … .”

Arin heard those words.

“Because you can make a lot of money!”

“That’s it!”

Yuri continued, giving a thumbs up.

“Also, there are few places where mercenaries can increase their value as much as in conflict zones. Even if you are active in a small conflict zone, your reputation will increase significantly, let alone in a war. If you are not interested in this, then you should take off your mercenary label.”

Gunther tilted his head as if he didn’t understand Yuri’s explanation.

“If it was that important, shouldn’t you have just bought the information there and left?”

From what Yuri said, it seemed clear that he was going to get involved in this war.

But in reality, he left without purchasing any information from the Mercenary Association.

Just use the storage facility.

And Yuri clicked her tongue at Gunther’s question.

“Tsk, do you want to double-spend for nothing?”

“huh?”

“The whole city is already in an uproar over the war. That means that some information has spread throughout the city.”

Gunther nodded, immediately understanding Yuri’s explanation.

“I see. So you were planning to go around the city and gather information about the war.”

Poppy and Arin continued Gunther’s words.

“hungry.”

“That’s true. You can even buy information that you can get for free.”

Yuri laughed at her friends’ stories and revealed the information she knew.

“World Mercenary Association. That’s a really cool name. It sounds like it would be credible and fair, right?”

Yuri immediately shook her head.

“But that’s not true at all. Those guys are just thugs with flashy names. Every bit of information they sell is related to the performance of each branch. Those guys are the ones who turn a blind eye to information that is easily obtainable.”

“… Is that all you mean?!”

I can’t believe Yuri called me a punk.

Then how rotten are they!

Yuri shook her head as she looked at her friends in shock.

“anyway……!”

After that, he led his friends into the alley on the left, talking about something and something.

Starting with Yuri, and ending with Poppy, they all completely disappeared into the alley.

A little while later.

A man appeared at the intersection where Yuri’s group had passed.

Jeebuk-.

And just as he was about to enter the alley that Yuri and his group had turned into.

chuck-.

A sword suddenly emerged from the alley and stopped dead in front of the man’s neck.

“Hee, heek?!”

The man screamed in surprise at the sword pointed at his neck and froze like ice.

His face became tinged with thought as the blade barely touched his Adam’s apple.

Meanwhile, Gunther, who had aimed his sword, glared at the man with a cold expression.

“Why did you chase us?”

The man’s face looked like he was about to cry at the sight of Gunther’s murderous intent.

And just in case something went wrong, he immediately blurted out his purpose.

“I came here to see you, So-Wol Mercenary Corps’ Captain Yuri Holland, to discuss something!”

“Yuri, they came looking for you.”

Gunther sheathed his sword at the terrified cry.

As the man was about to let go of his worries, a voice was heard from behind him.

“You came looking for me?”

The man hurriedly turned his head at the voice that came out of nowhere.

His eyes widened along with it.

‘Whoa, when on earth?!’

He had clearly seen it walking in front of him just a moment ago.

But when did he move behind himself?!

Also, it wasn’t just Yuri behind.

‘When is that woman again?!’

Arin was climbing up the alley wall and aiming her bow at the man.

It looks like they were the same people who were walking around chatting away just a few seconds ago.

While the surprised man hesitated, Yuri approached him.

“Hmm, I guess I don’t remember your face? So, why did you come here secretly, following me like this?”

A crooked head.

Twinkling eyes.

The man instinctively realized that the most dangerous being in this alley was Yuri, and immediately raised both his hands and shouted.

“I, I… … !”

***

A conference room large enough to seat dozens of people.

But there were only two people inside.

A man and a woman with the same white hair.

Among them, the man asked first.

“What’s the situation?”

“It’s not good.”

The woman’s voice, giving a negative answer, sounded quite excited, despite the content.

At this, the man’s expression changed to a sad one.

“… You seem very excited about the accident, my little brother?”

“Hey, you should say it straight. You didn’t cause an accident, you’re going to start now, right? Isn’t that right, Oppa?”

“I wonder if it would be better if you called me oppa in normal times. You always say ‘hey hey’, but only at times like this do you call me ‘oppa’.”

“Shouldn’t you be there at times like this to hear me call you oppa? Be thankful for that.”

“Oh my, I’m so grateful I’m almost crying.”

He had been grumbling bluntly, but soon he let out a soft sigh.

“Ha, okay, I’m going to kill you anyway… If you’re going to kill me, kill me properly. Don’t get caught if you kill me half-heartedly.”

The woman chuckled at the voice mixed with exhortation.

“Don’t worry. I’m thinking of sending some pretty… no, really useful people.”

To be more precise, one side of the people had already sent it and the other side was about to send it now.

There was joy in the eyes of the woman who answered like that.

***

In front is a giant of enormous size and a young man wielding a sword.

Behind him, there is a woman aiming an arrow at him and a being emitting a dangerous aura.

The man, unable to overcome the pressure, raised both hands in surrender and spat out words like a machine gun.

“… I, I am from the Sing family! At Julia’s request, I came to the Sowol Mercenary Corps to make a request!”

The expressions of Yuri and her group changed when they heard that shout.
