173 – A Brief Rest
Count Dion recognized our hard work and achievements and granted us a two-day vacation.
Of course, because this was a battlefield, going to nearby villages or cities to play was prohibited.
Nevertheless, the mercenaries under my command could not control their joy when they heard the news.
“f*ck it, take a break! “2 Days in a row off!”
A madman took a bet on how long his vacation would be and ripped off his leader.
“Commander of the Ten, please quickly hand over five fairy tales.”
But the joy of avoiding having to roll over like a dog and end up on the front line again the very next day.
The Captain of the Ten was laughing even after tearing off five pages of the fairy tale.
“You bastard, this. “They take money without any hesitation.”
When everyone was happy about the magical power of vacation that makes even money-grubbing people smile, I handed Otto a blank check.
“The kids will be hungry, so feed them as much as you want. However, make sure you don’t leave any food behind. “Do you know why?”
Honestly, it’s not a waste to provide unlimited alcohol and food to you, but if you have a conscience, you shouldn’t do something like leaving behind food sold by war merchants that is 4 to 5 times more expensive than the outside market price.
But these bastards can’t even eat it all, so they cook a big meal and end up leaving a lot of food behind. Every time I see them, I feel so sorry for them.
‘All the food you leave behind is money, you bastards…’
Anyway, Otto raised the blank check high in the sky and waved it.
“Captain Martin gave a blank check to us idiots who are petty and stupid, but good at fighting! “It’s public money for the mercenary army, so you can ask for everything you want to eat and drink!”
Those words brought cheers from all over.
“Captain Martin, I trusted you!”
“You are hot on the battlefield and at night!”
“I will follow you for the rest of my life.”
I waved my hand when I saw these guys swearing lifelong loyalty for just one drink and one piece of meat.
“It’s okay to buy something and eat it, but don’t leave anything behind. “If there’s anything left to eat, we’ll do guerrilla gymnastics tomorrow afternoon.”
I don’t intend to turn a blind eye just because I left something to eat, but in times like this, I have to be careful, even if it’s just a joke, because it’s a ‘useless spell’.
“Yes, boss!”
“From now on, let’s just do as much as we did today, ideal.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the mercenaries rushed to where the war merchants were, as if to prove that they had been waiting for this moment…
When only 10 minutes had passed, the guys came back with a smile on their faces and a tray full of food.
One guy was holding up a whole pig’s leg and laughing.
“Captain Martin gave me a pig’s foreleg! “I love you so much!”
Another crazy guy was carrying a barrel of alcohol that looked like it weighed dozens of liters on his shoulder.
“You evil liquor bastards. “I will drink it all and get rid of it!”
What can I say about being so childish even at such an old age? It’s stupid, but it’s nice to see.
War is painful and difficult, but you need that kind of pleasure to keep your spirits up.
Like that, a drinking party broke out in our mercenary unit, and the guys who had been eating and drinking excitedly began to disperse in groups, their sides feeling sore.
“You new recruits, what are you doing? “Aren’t you going to do it?”
“No, I’m going. Go!”
“Children are very good at giving answers in times like this.”
I don’t know when I was a new recruit in the Whitebeard Mercenaries, but after I became a platoon leader, no one advised me to do that.
“Captain, I’ve reserved a b*tch that I think you’ll like. How are you tonight?”
Perhaps because there are a lot of new people, it seems like a lot of them don’t know that I will never hug a prostitute.
Well, honestly, among mercenaries, they don’t like crazy types or prostitutes like me.
Without exaggeration, I would say that among the mercenaries there is at least one out of 100 who rejects prostitutes, so I know it is good intention to encourage them like that, but…
“It’s okay, just pick one and come back.”
“I put a lot of effort into making a reservation. “You’re a b*tch whose shaking breasts are a work of art?”
“Don’t you know that I have Lucia and Karin? “It’s hard to handle those two.”
“…… Isn’t it the new woman that excites men the most?”
I chuckled at those words.
It is certainly true that the thing that excites men the most is a new woman.
But I know you’re doing it to make a living, but mixing yourself with women who do it for a living…
‘They say they wash up, but when you do it, you end up with the same guys who did that with that b*tch yesterday… Ugh…’
“I’m overwhelmed just by those two people. I’ll just be grateful.”
The platoon leader who recommended it sighed with regret.
“I understand. “So then, am I really going to go and enjoy it instead?”
“Don’t shake your back too hard and get hurt. There are already a lot of injured soldiers, and I don’t want to have one more guy with a sprained back.”
I sent him away and moved to my tent.
It’s nice to drink with mercenaries and listen to their sagas filled with all sorts of bravado, and it’s also nice to hear ridiculous stories they picked up somewhere.
In particular, the new guy named Schumacher had an amazing ability to tell stories, so drinking was fun.
‘Why on earth does this guy, the Baron, tell you to go to the right, but then walks left alone and insists that this is the right?’
But what’s even better than that is returning to a place where your family is waiting for you.
‘Well, we haven’t had a wedding yet, so we’re not legally family. ‘It will happen soon, right?’
And when we entered the tent, Lucia, Karin, and Hilde were inside.
Karin must have been a little drunk, but the tips of her ears were a little red, and Lucia and Hilde didn’t seem to be drunk at all.
‘If Lucia drinks alcohol, she will immediately go into heat, so you shouldn’t drink it.’

“I’m here.”
Karin looked at me and smiled.
“We just arrived too. “If you came in drunk, I would have put you on the bed and tried to force you to sleep.”
Carin and Lucia both never let me hug them while I’m drunk.
The reason is that when you get drunk, the smell of alcohol comes out of your mouth and your excitement goes away.
I also greatly agree with that.
‘I’m about to start running in earnest, but if I burp because of the alcohol I drank…’
The atmosphere suddenly dies in 0.5 Seconds.
“I told you this before, senior. “Once you can use it as an auror, you won’t get drunk for a long time.”
After awakening the Aura, the body’s metabolism improves and basic physical strength increases rapidly. In the process, the amount of alcohol naturally increases.
Hilde also agreed with those words.
“My lord, what you said is correct. Before I awakened my Aura, I could get drunk with just two glasses of wine, but now I can drink 4 to 5 liters without getting drunk. “Moreover, my lord, whose level is higher than mine, would probably have to drink 10 liters to get drunk.”
“I thought learning aurors would only make my strength stronger.”
“Your eyesight and hearing will improve, but you won’t become as outstanding as an archer. “The archer commander can even see torches from a kilometer away.”
As an archer rises to the level, his sense of wind, hearing, and eyesight increase…
Will Karin, an archer who later reached the highest level, be able to see things like water fleas if she looks closely at the water?
Like that, the two went into their own world, talking to each other and listening to each other.
“I couldn’t ask Martin and the other guys who use Aurors because they are all men, but will anything change if women can use Aurors?”
“It’s not much different from other knights who use Aurors, but the flab disappears from all over the body and the elasticity of the skin improves.”
“I envy that the most. I also move my body a lot, so my body doesn’t gain weight. “Because the elasticity just improves and it doesn’t change…”
Karin stretched out her finger and gently poked Hilde’s arm.
“Does Martin like skin like this too?”
Hilde’s face suddenly turned red at those words.
To be honest, no man would turn down elastic skin no matter where he touches it like Hilde, but if you say yes to that statement…
You will hear something like this from Karin.
‘So does that mean my skin has no elasticity? Why not, I’m going to make you realize how attractive I am tonight.’
And since it’s a two-day break anyway, it’ll probably be all night long.
“I like both Karin and Lucia equally well. “I like Lucia because she feels soft when I touch her lightly, and I like Karin because she is as smooth as a leaf.”
Karin sighed.
“I knew that would happen.”
And here, the tactless one would apologize to Hilde, but I have no intention of apologizing.
Because Karin, Lucia, and I know why Hilde came into my tent this late at night.
‘If I didn’t think it was okay to spend the night together, I would never have come.’
Because among mercenaries, it is considered unconditional for a woman to enter a man’s tent late at night, except to report on official duties.
And Hilde looked at me as always with her slightly wet eyes.
“Because I belong to my lord. You can do whatever you want at any time. “Because that’s what I want.”
Karin laughed at those words and Lucia muttered in a low voice.
“Are there going to be one more people soon?”
“But I won’t neglect Karin-senpai and Lucia.”
And that night, I had to prove with my own body how much I cherished Lucia and her Karin.
If it weren’t for the Aurors, he might have really died a double death.
