Quit being a knight and become a mercenary

95 – Lucia and Karin

As soon as the battle was over, I was captured by our hundred men.

I could have resisted as much as I wanted, but…

As I was thinking about random things, Otto, the senior platoon leader and second-in-command of our hundred people, raised a glass full of beer.

The guy’s expression was full of a smile, as if he had everything in the world.

“Okay then! Cheers to Centurion Martin, who won two mercenary captaincy awards on his first day in command!”

According to those words, the other guys also laughed loudly and received a toast.

“A toast to the centurion!”

“f*ck, I’m toasting to see the centurion’s gratitude!”

“Please continue to look after us!”

After saying that, they finished their toasts among themselves on behalf of me, the person in charge of the event.

If the occasion is to congratulate me on becoming a centurion commander and performing well in my first actual command, honestly, shouldn’t I at least give up the drinking toast?

‘These bastards need to be put through hot guerrilla training someday…’

As I was gritting my teeth, Otto smiled heartily and poured beer into my glass.

“I’m sure you’re not upset because I took the toast, right?”

It is unmanly behavior for a man to sulk, and I have no intention of doing such a timid thing.

It’s not that I’m upset, it’s just that the thought that came to my mind was that I should make the ‘guerrilla training’ a little more difficult.

“I’m not upset, Otto. “In fact, I’m thankful that it took the place of the annoying toast.”

“When you say that, you have a very annoyed look on your face.”

“Oh, I really didn’t get upset.”

“I’ve never met anyone who said that without getting upset.”

No matter how much a mercenary unit is an army, it is not uncommon for mercenaries to get along comfortably with each other if there is only a small difference in class due to their nature of not being tied to status.

Of course, a new recruit would not even dare to play a prank on the platoon leader, but once a senior mercenary becomes a senior mercenary, pranks on the platoon leader that do not go too far over the ‘line’ are permitted.

So, it was natural for this guy, the second-in-command of our Baekun University, to play pranks on me.

I also sighed, feeling like I was giving up.

“What should I do if I’m upset?”

“You can solve it while having a drink like this. “What are you so worried about?”

There is military law, so if mercenaries punch or cut each other, both of their heads can be cut off if they make a mistake, so even if they drink, everyone refrains from using violence.

We mercenaries are so rough that when we drink alcohol, we pour out our frustrations on each other, which often escalates into arguments.

As a result, it is very common for people to fight while drinking and then make up after drinking again.

‘Otto, is that guy also planning to reveal his pent-up feelings while drinking?’

I thought I had confessed all my regrets before the battle started today.

“That’s right.”

Then Otto smiled warmly as he looked at the other members of our hundred people.

“I had faith in Captain Martin’s ability, but I didn’t actually expect him to do this well since it was his first day in command. Since this was his first command of a white unit, I thought he would try to stick to his role like other white commanders…”

Then, as if he was in a hurry, he poured beer into his own glass.

“I never thought that in the first battle, the centurion would cut off two heads of the enemy mercenary leader. By the way, I have served many superiors so far, but this is the first time I have served someone as great as the leader. “I’m sure other guys have similar thoughts.”

Then Otto paused for a moment, as if to listen to what was going on around him.

“Century Martin, ever since I first came here, I thought you had something special. f*ck, I was sure today.”

“Well, if I follow him, I can get a place to eat? “I admit that Centurion Martin is great, but your skills aren’t enough.”

“After following Centurion Martin, I am now able to fight quite well, right? Soon I will be able to use it as an Auror. Then, under him, I will rise to the rank of centurion.”

Mercenaries are those who transfer at any time if they are wrong or if they can transfer on better terms.

The fact that those guys say they will only follow me is an acknowledgment that I am worthy enough to be seen as a golden rope that will change their fortunes.

I was able to feel a different sense of satisfaction than when I proved my abilities and received awards and recognition.

‘People tend to get caught up in a guy who looks like he has a real chance of success.’

The corners of my mouth went up to my ears.

“So, like those guys over there said, I too will only follow Centurion Martin, even if my promotion is a bit delayed. You don’t know, do you? “Thanks to the centurion, I might get a knighthood too.”

“Didn’t you say that last time?”

“Don’t you think I have to tell you a few times for you to remember?”

“That’s right.”

It’s not that I have a bad memory, but it is more effective to make important promises or appeals of this type consistently without offending the other person.

Otto, who had been smiling warmly just a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression.

Now his eyes became sly, and one corner of his mouth turned up.

“By the way, if I trust and follow the centurion commander, I am following him. “You became a centurion today, and you have made a great contribution by leading us for the first time. Shouldn’t you give us some of the award?”

Otto made circles with his fingers and moved them left and right.

‘It’s great that I received help from Otto in taking control of this hundred people.’

I feel a little sick thinking about paying for drinks for over 100 men, but I can make up for it by just receiving the reward money.

If you don’t use it in times like this, it will be difficult to gain public support…

If you’re going to write this, it would be best to write it coolly, like a man.

Moreover, across from there, Lucia is wagging her tail, and Karin is sitting next to her, so let’s think she looks cool.

“Please charge the war merchants on credit for the drinks and snacks that I, Martin, and the kids here will have for the second round.”

Then I waved my hand.

As soon as Otto saw that, he picked up the other guys from our hundred and disappeared in an instant.

It was as if I was watching the wind disappear in an instant, leaving only traces of people.

As I was dumbfounded, Karin came next to me with Lucia and laughed.

“Platoon leader Otto, you read the mood well. “The two of us are coming, so just get out of the way.”

“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that my senior and I didn’t just get married, we are already like a married couple? “It’s probably because he doesn’t want to see me and my senior bickering.”

“Because he reads the mood so well, he quickly created a situation where Martin suffered a huge blow.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Everyone did a good job, and it was my first day as a centurion leader, so I thought it was okay to do this much. “There’s a battle ahead, so I’m trying to make you use more strength.”

“Martin is also really scary. “It’s scary at night, and it treats our allies scary during the day.”

When I hang out with Karin at night, I’m in my early 20s and Karin is in her late 20s, so we both have a lot of s*xual desire, so there’s nothing we can do about it.

Leading those gentlemen during the day in a rather harsh manner is an attempt to make the mercenaries belonging to our hundred people rich.

So we chatted for about 15 minutes.

Then Karin suddenly looked at me with a serious expression.

‘I’m finally going to talk about Lucia.’

“Lucia came to me a few days ago and said that. “Martin, she says she likes you, like she can’t live without you.”

At the same time as she said that, Lucia’s ears and tail perked up slightly.

To soothe her downcast Lucia, Karin stroked and played with Lucia’s ears.

It was a hand gesture that did not suit the heavy atmosphere, but judging by this action, I was confident that the result would not be bad, even if I did not know what he would say.

If I was going to say something bad, I wouldn’t have done something like this.

“I got jealous when I heard that he was getting a girl other than me.”

I listened to her, and Lucia’s tail and ears became a little more downcast.

“Still, I don’t particularly hate Lucia if she becomes Martin’s woman. “From the beginning, I accepted Martin even though I knew what kind of guy he was.”

I had a similar story with Karin when I first met her.

I plan to rise to the level where I can receive a title as a mercenary, and in the process, I want to create a harem.

Karin pulled my cheek slightly, no, she pulled it a little harder.

“Just, Martin.”

“Yes, senior.”

After saying that, Karin spoke as if making a declaration with her face slightly red.

“If she neglects me because she’s only focused on Lucia, I won’t let her. Since it was your choice, Lucia must be good to me as well.”

“Yes, senior. “Lucia and Senpai are all important to me.”

Lucia smiled at those words and raised her tail and wagged it.

“Now, with this, Captain Karin…”

Karin stopped her in the middle of listening to Lucia.

“Lucia, call me Karin. “She has the same husband anyway, so there’s no need to be awkward with her.”

Lucia blushed and slightly stuttered her words, wagging her tail at those words.

“Yes, Captain Karin. “No, sister.”

Karin smiled as if Lucia was so cute that she would die, and she continued to stroke Lucia’s head.

Every time Karin’s right hand moved, her fox ears rose and fell.

“hehehe.”

However, just looking at this scene seemed like a healing sight, and an intruder came in.

“Hey, Martin.”

When she said those words, she turned around and saw Dalton there.

Perhaps because I came in not expecting the three of us to be talking about something important like this, Dalton had a very confused expression on his face.

“……..”

Dalton clicked his tongue and scratched his head.

“Ha, f*ck. Excuse me, let’s borrow Martin. “I have something to entrust to this bastard.”

No matter how much of a war we are in right now and because of work, isn’t this a bit too much…?
