Episode 384. Request for designation (2)

A man who introduced himself as coming from the Sing family.

When Yuri and her group heard that they had come at Julia’s request, they showed various reactions.

“hungry?”

“You really think Senior Julia sent you?!”

Poppy and Arin smile brightly, delighted at the mention of Julia.

“It seems that Senior Julia already knew that Yuri was alive. And she even knew that he had created a mercenary group… Is this really the intelligence power of the Singh family?”

Gunther nods his head and mutters something to himself.

and.

“This is ridiculous. If a bastard who was tailing me says, ‘I’m from the Sing family!’, am I supposed to believe him and say, ‘Hi, really? Welcome!’?”

Yuri drew his sword with crooked eyes full of distrust.

“I don’t believe in words. Show me the evidence! Show me the physical evidence!”

The man became lost in thought as he saw her wielding her sword with an even more fierce look in her eyes and hurriedly searched through her arms.

“I, I was going to give it to you! I’ll give it to you right now!”

He hurriedly took the letter out of his bosom as if this was his only way to survive.

Yuri received a letter sealed with red sealing wax and showed it to her friends.

“Is this the Sing family crest?”

A wide open book and an eye perched on it.

And the circular rings contained within the pupils.

Gunther and Arin nodded as they looked at the sentence stamped on the sealing wax.

“That’s right. It’s the Sing family crest.”

“Yeah, this is it!”

Only after the two people verified it with cross-checking did the person who said he was from the Sing family breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuri glanced at the sight for a moment, then opened the seal without hesitation and read the letter.

That time wasn’t that long.

“It was Julia who sent it.”

Yuri, who read the contents of the letter in an instant, had no choice but to admit that the clumsy-looking man in front of her was the one sent by Julia.

That was proven by a single sentence written at the beginning of the letter.

[What about my autograph?]

A few years ago, Yuri had promised to give Julia a copy of John’s autograph.

Only she and herself knew that.

And the reason she wrote this sentence at the very beginning of her letter without any greeting was probably to reveal that she was the real Julia.

Thanks to this, Yuri’s suspicions were immediately dispelled, and Arin showed curiosity and intercepted the letter.

“What, what? What did Senior Julia say?”

Poppy and Gunther’s faces were placed next to each other on either side of Arin’s face as she looked over the letter.

At the same time, a question mark appeared above their heads.

“… Is this all there is?”

“hungry?”

“Umm… … .”

A letter that three people are looking at.

There were only two lines written there.

[What about my autograph?]

[You can hear the detailed story from the person who brought the letter.]

A letter without context or content.

At this, Arin let out an exclamation as if she had realized something.

“Aha! Right, if it was Senior Julia, she might have left the password in a special way!”

I opened the letter diligently, but I couldn’t find anything.

Meanwhile, Yuri asked the man who had brought the letter a question.

“What’s your name, sir?”

“… This is Ben Giannis.”

“Okay, Uncle Ben. Do you know what’s in the letter?”

“I knew it.”

“Well then… Julia would have gathered some information about my whereabouts. Based on that, she would have expected us to come to Belgrade. But… … .”

Yuri’s eyes lit up as she stopped talking there.

“You didn’t come in person, but sent someone? Someone to say what you couldn’t even write in a letter?”

“… … ?!”

The moment he heard the words, ‘words that cannot be written in a letter,’ Ben flinched.

At the same time, Julia’s voice, handing him the letter and urging him on, flashed through his mind.

[Never! No matter what happens, you must not let your guard down! You must treat that bastard as if you were dealing with a direct blood relative of the Sing family! Keep that in mind!]

Julia, who had asked me over and over again.

At first I thought she was acting a little strange.

‘Even so, how can you believe that you are dealing with a direct blood relative of the Sing family?’

Don’t you know how much of a monster your direct blood relatives of the Sing family are?

I definitely thought so.

But, looking at Yuri, who was able to uncover the hidden truth with just one sentence written in a letter, I felt a slight chill down my spine.

‘Huh, you’re definitely not an ordinary person. It wasn’t for nothing that the young lady warned you like that.’

Ben was tense not only physically but also mentally.

Yuri noticed this and snickered.

“Hey, don’t worry, I won’t eat you.”

“Haha, that… … .”

“Okay, then!”

match-!

Yuri cut off Ben’s words by clapping her hands.

“This is a bit of a place to have a secret conversation. Maybe we should have a more in-depth conversation somewhere quiet?”

Then he put his arm around Ben’s shoulder and pulled him towards him.

“Let’s move!”

The expression on Ben’s face as he was dragged away by Yuri looked like that of a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

***

Spacious interior.

Yuri and her group and Ben settled into the large room of the accommodation Yuri had rented.

To be more precise, each of Yuri’s group was occupying a seat, while Ben was fidgeting and pacing around.

Then Yuri pointed to one of the chairs and said.

“Sit there.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

Whether this is kind or not.

Ben sat down, hesitating, at the tone of voice that was unclear as to whether it was a favor or an order.

Just as his buttocks touched the chair, Yuri’s question flew out.

“Before we get down to business… how did you find us and come after us?”

Yuri’s expression as she asked the question was slightly stiff.

He couldn’t help it.

From Enlightenment to Belgrade, didn’t they do everything they could to erase their tracks?

But, a man named Ben immediately started chasing them and following them.

If he had done so, there would be no reason why he could not be called the Iscariot family.

Yuri was worried about this.

‘Even if they are the Sing family, I don’t think they would be able to immediately find and track down traces that have been hidden so thoroughly.’

If there is one possibility, it is that they were chased by the Mercenary Guild.

‘Then the question is, how did you know we were going to the Mercenary Association?’

I deliberately twisted and turned my route for two hours before getting off at the Belgrade port and heading to the Mercenary Association.

But if the Mercenary Association had been following them, it would mean that they had been waiting there from the beginning.

‘So you were 100% sure from the start that we would stop by the Mercenary Guild. Oh, really?’

Yuri’s question was soon answered by Ben’s answer.

“Oh, it’s thanks to you, young lady.”

“miss?”

“Ah! I’m talking about Miss Julia. She said that if it was Director Yuri Holland, he would smell money in Belgrade and come to the Mercenary Guild. So if we waited at the Mercenary Guild, we would naturally meet… … .”

“iced coffee.”

Yuri’s stiff expression softened at Ben’s story.

‘I was just hoping.’

As expected, Julia had anticipated my pattern of behavior and was waiting for me at the Mercenary Association.

‘Then that’s fortunate.’

Yuri’s stiff face softened and a smile appeared.

“Okay, so now let’s talk about real work.”

The reason he said it was work was because of what he said when he first met Ben.

“You clearly said it was a request, right? Are you talking about a designated request?”

Ben nodded to Yuri’s question.

“That’s right. Before I begin my explanation, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Ben Yanis, of the Singh family.”

He got up from his seat briefly, greeted everyone, then sat back down and continued speaking.

“I would like to make a request to the Sowol Mercenary Corps at the request of Miss Julia Sing. But before that… there is one thing I need to hear a clear answer to.”

“What are you trying to say to set the mood like this? What is it?”

“I promise that what you are about to hear will be kept secret.”

“What should I say again?”

Yuri nodded with a smirk.

“You don’t have to worry about keeping your clients’ confidentiality. Without that level of trust, you can’t do mercenary work.”

“… Then, I believe you promised, so I will tell you from now on.”

He let out a small sigh and straightened his posture.

Then, all the clumsiness he had shown until then disappeared without a trace, and in his place was a man who exuded a sense of rationality.

He opened his mouth as he looked around at the Yuri group.

“Currently, the administrative district of Belgrade is divided into east and west, with the river flowing out of Crystal Lake at the center. It would not be strange if war broke out at any time.”

When the story about the war that they had been trying to find out about came up, Yuri and her friends’ ears perked up.

Ben noticed this and spoke softly.

“If you accept my request, I will also give you detailed information about the war.”

“Does that mean that the request Julia has for us is related to that war?”

“That’s correct.”

Ben nodded slightly and continued.

“Miss Julia’s request to the Sowol Mercenaries is for you to join the eastern camp.”

“Join? Are you saying that I should simply join their side and help them? Join the Eastern camp and make sure they win the war… or something like that?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Yuri looked at Ben blankly without saying anything.

But that was only for a moment.

He returned his narrowed eyes to normal and asked as if he didn’t understand.

“Hmm… So what exactly are you telling me to keep secret? Information about the war?”

Is it really necessary to emphasize secrecy to this extent for this request?

It’s just a request to participate in the war like normal?

Did you read that glassy gaze?

“The secret that the Sowol Mercenary Corps must keep is… … .”

Ben Giannis said in a firm tone.

“The fact that Miss Julia has asked you this is itself a matter of course.”

Upon hearing this, Yuri and her group collectively raised a question mark above their heads.

***

Inyoung, wearing a deep brown robe, was walking with the river on her left.

There was something long, wrapped in cloth, hanging from his shoulders.

Thud thud thud-.

How far did I walk along the river, neither slow nor fast?

At one moment, Inyoung’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

“… … .”

A frontal view with the gaze hidden under the robe.

There was a spectacular sight of countless tents lined up along the river.

Inyoung, who had been staring blankly at this, continued walking again.

Some time has passed since then.

“stop!”

Near a makeshift fence made of wood.

The men standing guard with fierce eyes spotted an unidentified figure approaching the outpost and placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.

“Identify yourself!”

Inyoung, who was approaching the outpost at the sharp voice, stopped abruptly and raised both hands.

He made his intentions known by making gestures indicating that he had no intention of attacking me.

“I am a mercenary who would like to participate in this tournament upon recommendation.”

The dull voice flowing out from between the darkly shaded robes was a woman’s.

The sentries who heard this exchanged glances for a moment, looking at each other’s faces.

Then he asked without letting his guard down.

“Do you have any identification?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman took something out of her bosom and threw it at the guard post.

It was none other than the mercenary badge that came flying in neither fast nor slow.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the sentries who had checked the rank.

“You’re a manager?”

“It’s not like I’m in a rut.”

The sentries spoke among themselves in low voices.

They let their guard down slightly.

“You said you were recommended, so could you show me your letter of recommendation?”

“There is no letter of recommendation. Instead, I understand that you have spoken to the person inside.”

“Who is inside?”

“This is a man named Uli Jikli.”

The sentries were startled by her words, looked at each other’s faces and whispered among themselves.

Then one of them quickly disappeared into the camp inside the fence.

Meanwhile, the remaining sentry approached the woman.

“I’ll take a moment to check your face before I hear from inside. Please cooperate.”

Even though I came here after receiving a recommendation.

Also, even if a mercenary of the rank of vice-president vouched for his identity, he could not be allowed into the camp without even checking his face.

And at the sentry’s request, the woman obediently pulled back the hood that had been covering her head.

Okay then.

Sarak-.

Her gracefully curved emerald hair flowed softly out of her robe.
