Chapter 42: The Drunkards.

'Oh, those two are ...... the leader and deputy leader of my former mercenary clan 'Lone Wolf'.

　Hearing Mina's frightened explanation makes sense.

　I see.

　I think back to what I overheard at Yurachi and Michelangelo's bar: the Lone Wolf, a mercenary clan made up entirely of mercenary players under the age of 15. Despite being children, they are said to take advantage of the no-first-attack system for under-15s and use their cunning to play adults.　

'Hey, Minazuki. Don't talk to me like that."

　At Mina's remark, the tall gold bar called Vikin blackmails Mina with a one-sided attitude.

　What is he like from a while ago?

' 'I'm going to smash you, aren't I?'

　Zushin places his metal bar on the ground and intimidates us.

　When I was about to step forward and complain about his arrogant attitude.

'Hmph. ...... Stop it, Vikin. You didn't come here today to play mercenary vs mercenary PvP."

　It was a boy called Wolff, who was the first to control it, who was sabre-bearing.

'Heck. If Wolff says so, .......'

　With a look of disapproval, Vikin and the others took a step back.

　As if to take his place, Wolff steps forward.

　We are less than two metres apart.

'And Vikin. Hmph,...... Minazuki isn't such a useless mercenary player, is she?"

''A-an?''

'Well done, Minazuki -.'

　Wolff says this and advances further towards us, holding his hands out.

'Your promise to get in with the rumoured silver-haired angel ・・・・・ and successfully get information out of her ・・・・・・・ seems to be going well.'

　Wolf looks at Mina with a wary smile.

　For a moment I didn't understand what Wolff meant by the words he was saying.

　Mina's promised to get into my head and get information out of me?

'Oh, yeah. That's right. You're pretty handy for a zakko, aren't you, Minazuki?'

　Vikin comes closer, agreeing with Wolff's words.

'As promised, I can make you a mercenary clan 'lone wolf' again.

　Wolff then reaches out to Mina.

'And poof ...... silver-haired angel. Why don't you join us too?"

　When Wolff's gaze moved from Mina, who was pricing out the other, I saw his twin eyes smile sneeringly. George's words came to mind when he came face to face with those eyes, which showed a hint of greed, akin to unspeakable disgust.

　Information in this world is valuable.

'Our mercenary clan is made up of mercenary players under the age of 15. From the looks of it, you're probably under 15 too.'

　My alchemy information could certainly be valuable. Plus the case involving Misora-san. Are you saying that Mina approached and befriended me for those things?

　And were you trying to lead them to the 'lone wolf' from the start?

'...... Mina, is it true?'

　Meeting me, having adventures together, all of that was promised to these guys?
