Volume 3 Chapter 135-3 Post-Battle Arrangements
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”In a fight with an elite unit, it might be better to go to Ramsey and contact Owl.”
When Kian said that, Sarah nodded.
”That’s true. If Natra and Rufna were here, it would be different. But if they don’t come in time, it will be hard for just us.”
”Lady Sarah, do you think you can beat Arminus?”
”Arminus, right? The old general who stands with the ‘Storm Herd’s’ High Warlord Isthbaran?”
”Yes.”
Sarah shook her head.
”I don’t know. It depends on the enemy’s weapons.”
”That makes sense.”
”If I could borrow Windsong Blade from Kian, I think I could fight almost any enemy. What do you think, Kian?”
”Of course. If needed, I will lend it. I also have the Misty Magic Sword.”
”But then, we lose many long-range options.”
”We can think about that if we meet Arminus directly.”
When Kian said that, Sarah breathed out and said, “You’re right. There is no use in thinking only about the worst case now.”
”Is that all for the talk, Sarah?”
”Wait. About Ms. Ninini’s life support — we do not have the tools or materials to give her nutritional fluids. If you get a chance to enter Ramsey, please buy the supplies here.”
”Understood.”
”And could you tell the Vahid supply officer in the courtyard to bring some water and food here? Also, even if sleep is hardly needed, a sleeping bag would be good.”
”Got it.”
”One more thing. Please tell Mrs. Collina that when Ms. Serena wakes up, she should come to her place. That is all.”
”I’m sorry to rely on you for everything. I wish I could help more.”
”No, it’s okay. This is what I wanted. Now go.”
Kian nodded and turned away.
”Lady Sarah. I will check on Sir Umar soon. He needs to take his medicine.”
”Leave it to me. I will handle it.”
When Sarah spoke, Demete frowned.
”Anyway, I don’t care about those cat Beastmen over there. As long as your High Elf is safe, I can keep guarding the gate.”
”That is how it is for you, right?”
”Lady Sarah, you should just give up on those burdens. Since when did you start acting like a good person?”
”Maybe recently. Doing good makes life richer. It’s a feeling you will never understand.”
”I do not want to understand.”
”Fine.”
Sarah’s cold stare did not bother him.
Demete bowed politely.
”Then, Lady Sarah, I will take my leave.”
”Sarah, see you later.”
”Yes, Kian.”
They nodded at each other.
After that, Kian and Demete left the small room, leaving Sarah behind.
Kian parted with Demete in the courtyard and walked toward a group of Wolfmen drinking deep in the garden.
”Yelmar.”
”Hey, Lord Kian.”
Kian kept his distance from the noisy group and approached a big man quietly sipping mead.
He knelt beside him with a serious look.
”About Sven and the others, I am sorry again.”
”I already heard. It is the opposite. They were sent to protect you. The fault is my decision and their bad luck.”
”That makes me feel better.”
Kian looked closely at Yelmar’s drinking companions.
Most of them — no, almost all — were women.
He had heard that Wolfmen women protect their homes and children without fighting, but these women all wore swords. Their drinking was like real warriors’.
”What will you do next?”
”Hmm? Well… for now, wait for people from the Beastmen Alliance. If someone from the ‘Storm Herd’ comes, we will talk with them. After that, we will think about continuing our contract with the current client.”
”Was it Umar who asked you to research the Bloodsucking Kind in the forest lake?”
”Yes. You can tell just by looking, Mr. Yarko, that he is an old man with little time left. He is trying hard to live longer. But humans die after their time. That is natural law. Why fight it?”
”Those with money and power want health next.”
”Ha ha. I don’t understand wanting to cling to life like that.”
Maybe because of the alcohol, Yelmar spoke roughly.
He took a big gulp.
”Want some?”
”No, thanks. I don’t drink.”
”You are boring… Hic.”
”If you want work, I can connect you.”
”Where?”
”The army jobs office in Izerland. Princess Maribel is building a standing army after the coup. But the skill level is low. They want experienced fighters.”
”Then, that means leaving Natasha.”
”Is she here?”
”Yes. She is with Katyusha, a warrior monk, checking the mountain gate. She does not want to see you either.”
”Well, she really dislikes me.”
”Izerland’s regular army… It’s one choice. Their pay is worse than Umar’s but welfare is better. Witches like Christy and Lucretia from the Royal Academy handle most problems. The meals are good, and beds are clean.”
”Except the ‘Storm Herd’ main branch, it’s probably good for Yelmar and others.”
