Unexpected Reincarnation

The Chapter 8 Mercenary

" Who are you? "

"Seriously? Didn't we meet at the bar yesterday afternoon"

I swear that I never met him, especially yesterday even though I dug up all my memories of yesterday but he wasn't in it.

Wait a minute could it be that he was actually the one wearing the robe, then I used the ability of my eyes to see which one belonged to him and it turned out that it was according to where that person belonged. To make sure if it was him I tried to ask him, maybe I was wrong.

"Are you the guy with the cape yesterday? "

"Finally you remember too, my name is iora mercenary rank a as well as the branch manager of the mercenary Union in this city"

So that's true of him, I guess he's a man let alone with a free laugh that's not suitable for the woman he did yesterday. Ah forget about it anyway it doesn't really matter, what matters now is why he called me here, what his real purpose is.

"Why would a branch manager like you call me here? Is there anything you need from me, otherwise I'll go to take care of my registration as a mercenary"

Before answering my question he first told me to sit down and enjoy tea and biscuits on the table, his tea tasted good his biscuits too I thought something like sugar was very expensive but like his it didn't apply to a manager like him, maybe actually he was very rich but it's none of my business. Then he started talking after drinking his tea.

"First to become a mercenary you must be eleven years old, how old are you now? "

"Ten years, but it'll be eleven next week"

"Well then that means you qualify, but you can't sign up here? "

"What's!? "

I'm a little confused by his words, if I qualify why I can't register, do you have some kind of grudge against me huh? Seeing the look on my face that was starting to change made him continue he said.

"Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't do it of my own accord, other than that I want to have a good relationship with you so there's no way I'm going to do that"

He explained that I didn't misunderstand him

"Why then?

I asked back because I hadn't gotten the answer I wanted why I couldn't. Because of my question he then explained the reason. Less is more like this.

Usually when someone just registers he will get a g rank but that is only for ordinary people while those who have mana will start from rank b and they have to register directly to the union headquarters because the union branch has no authority to do so. Not only that he also explained that those who do not have mana will not be able to exceed rang c because it is his standard, no matter how strong they are. I think it's pretty ridiculous isn't strength everything, what if there's someone without mana capable of defeating those who have it, isn't it just a slap in the face.

"Then why did you say you wanted to make a good relationship with me? What's your real reason? "

He smiled at my question.

"It's not something complicated, it's just that someone who is only ten years old is that strong, how about later, you will definitely become a big figure, he said, that's why I want to establish a connection with you now before that happens"

"Just a glass of tea and some biscuits? "

"Not too bad but maybe you won't get what you want"

"What's wrong, at least we're acquaintances, oh yeah I don't know your name yet? "

"Call me leo"

I replied, then our conversation continued.

"By the way I don't know where the headquarters is, can you tell me? "

He was surprised by what I said, it was only natural that people who were not mercenaries did not know the basic rules of mercenary, but do not know where the headquarters is a bit strange because the mercenaries are people who spread throughout the continent let alone famous mercenaries always come from the headquarters. Because mercenary work makes people's lives easier so not a few who idolize them let alone high ranking mercenary. He must have come from a very remote village so was Iora's mind on leo.

"You really don't know? "

"That's why I asked you!? "

I raised my voice a little after seeing his expression that seemed to think of me as a fool, you think I didn't realize that obvious thing huh? Realizing that his expression came back just like the one he then told me where it was and how to get there and how long it would take..

"The headquarters of the mercenary was in the adurant-free city right in the middle of the continent, to get there it takes about a month more on foot and takes about two weeks more by horse carriage"

"A month more huh? It was quite a long time ago, not to mention there was a possibility of getting lost because I never went there"

I was pondering how to get there, walk a month more that's too long and for a horse should I buy one? No, it won't work anyway I can't ride a horse then what if I ride a merchant's horse-drawn carriage? But I don't know any of those merchants, then what should I do.

"If you're confused about how to get there I can ask a merchant of my acquaintance to take you there "

He was very kind to answer my concerns this way the transportation problem had been resolved just to get ready to leave. Since the business here is done, I'm ready to leave. But when I was at the exit he called me and gave me a suggestion to wear a mask, when I asked him why he just smiled at me. And I took his advice for granted, there might be a reason for this besides the advice of someone with experience is valuable.

Because there was still time until departure arrived I returned to the place where I was staying to spend time, as usual this place was still filled with drunkards. Don't you guys have a job, huh? Especially this guy from this morning until now is still here. What makes people addicted to this, to satisfy my curiosity I ordered a glass of beer to enjoy and sat at a table with a darton, he should have been a little uncomfortable with my presence but he was drunk right now to sleep on his desk.

" Wait a minute, aren't young children forbidden to drink this? "

One of the people sitting close to me tried to remind me.

"What's wrong, anyway the rules are there to be broken"

I thought beer tasted really good, but it didn't fit my shadow it was a bit bitter and there was a sensation of its own in my throat that made me want to keep feeling it.

Ughhhh, how much have I been drinking, my body feels hot and my face is flushed like I've been drunk from drinking too much. There were a few empty glasses on the table by myself, maybe it was time I stopped and went back to my room before I ended up like a fool beside me, just look at him sleeping like a dead man.

I made it to my room even though I staggered up here and before I could reach my bed I fell on the floor because I was too drunk and the next day came......
