Mob No. 98: “That’s the fate of being born beautiful, Your Majesty.”

The Empress’s reward banquet was held inside the Imperial Palace, located in the capital city of Hein.
 
All the mercenaries who had contributed to suppressing the rebellion and were incorporated into the Empress’s guard unit were invited to attend.
 
The main venue, the Hall of Rainbows, was the largest hall in the Imperial Palace.
 
The carpet was so soft you could sleep on it, and the chandeliers and decorations looked like they could cost eight figures.
 
Despite its luxurious appearance, the … Read the rest

Mob No. 97: “It’s the life experience of an old woman and her intuition, you see. The one who gave them advice—if it’s the son, it’s a woman. If it’s the mother, it’s a man. The son’s side would be easy, but the mother, no matter her age, is still a woman. She’s weak to flattery, after all.”
 

 
The day after accompanying Mr. Zeistole on his shopping trip, I found myself at the mercenary guild.
 
Honestly, I would have liked to take another day off, but I felt like I had too much time on my hands, so I … Read the rest

Mob No. 96: “I’m sorry, Mr. Uzoss. I’ve dragged you along for shopping.”
 

While being escorted by the police, I was grateful that the lady stayed asleep. If she had been awake, it would have been incredibly noisy, no doubt about it.
 
After finishing the paperwork, I returned to the central district’s main area, had a meal at a yakiniku stall, and then spent a night on the ship before heading back. It took a while, but I managed to return safely to Ytts.
 
The day I got back, I went straight home and slept. The next day, I … Read the rest

Mob No. 95: “I figured it would come to this…”
 

I booked a room in a love hotel with a window facing the street, slightly opening the curtains to keep an eye on the store where the target had entered.
 
I handed the payment to the lady accompanying me beforehand, letting her do as she pleased.
 
However, she said:
 
“Hey, the target probably won’t come out for at least two hours, right? Why don’t we have some fun while we wait?”
 
She started moving closer to me,
 
but I firmly declined.
 
“No, thank you. I can’t tell when the … Read the rest

Mob #94: “Hey. Our shop also offers out-call services. Are you interested in using them?”
 

The planet Negora, located in the Pout region of space, is a beautiful planet that appears yellow-green when viewed from space.
 
However, its yellow-green atmosphere is composed of extremely dense chlorine, making it impossible to breathe without a specialized suit. Without one, death is certain.
 
Beyond this yellow-green atmosphere lies a vast expanse of silver ore, said to be virtually inexhaustible.
 
Because of this, several mining base colonies orbit the planet, remotely operating mining droids to extract the silver.
 
The only times a human … Read the rest

Mob No. 93: [With this, you are now free! Return to your lovers and families!]
 

It’s been six days since I returned to Ytts.
 
I enjoyed a five-day vacation, so it’s about time I get back to work.
 
But before that, there are things I need to take care of: cleaning the room, doing the laundry, packing clothes, towels, and hygiene products into a trunk for the ship, sorting out the accumulated trash and taking it to the apartment’s garbage disposal area, and making sure to use up all the leftover ingredients for lunch. If there’s any food left, … Read the rest

Mob No. 92: “I’m not taking on any jobs for a while, so it’s all good. You might think it’s strange for a mercenary to say this, but [combat] and [extermination] missions are exhausting. You feel the same way, don’t you?”
 

 
The day I returned to Planet Ytts.
 
After having a small celebration with Gonzalez, I went straight home.
 
Work is always tiring, but especially so when it involves [combat]—noble disputes, dealing with foreign forces, or suppressing rebels. Naturally, I fell asleep as soon as I got home.
 
When I woke up the next morning, … Read the rest

Mob No. 91 “Welcome. …Oh, it’s you. Looks like you didn’t run into the enemy fleet of that shady chancellor from the neighboring country.”
 

Gerhilde was happy that Rossweisse had found a partner in Lambert.
 
She even declared that she would find one for herself, and she actually did—bringing them to this battlefield.
 
Lambert had grown a lot too—he no longer fainted and had become significantly stronger in combat.
 
She also mentioned that the reason Rossweisse didn’t have her own avatar was simply due to budget constraints.
 
Aside from the complaints, most of what Rossweisse said was actually useful. … Read the rest

Mob No. 90: [“Those cowards from the Nekirelma Star Kingdom! Ignoring the agreement! And that fool Barlenton, what’s with his ‘leave it to me’ nonsense?!”]
 

Before I could relay the danger signal alert to Major General Earlyhenge, a mass communication from the rebels came through on an open channel.
 
[“Hahaha! Finally, our reinforcements have arrived! They’ve seized the mobile fortress under construction and are launching it as our spear!”]
 
The expression of Marquis Fiedel-Vastog, who appeared on the screen, was bright and triumphant, mocking us with absolute confidence in victory.
 
Could it be that the Major General had overlooked … Read the rest
