Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 357

 

Special Compensation



"Doss-dono!"


Zalmbald finishes the battle and joins us.


"Thank you for your help, Zalmbald-dono."


"No, this is our fault."


Apparently, there are no prisoners.


No


We don't need it, apparently


Soldiers who are crippled and desperately screaming are beheaded one after another.


Some of them wear armor richly decorated with gold and silver.


"Are you going to kill them all?"


"It's necessary. Are you against it?"


"No, I don't care about them."


"Then?"


Yes


Armor decorated with gold and silver


"Do you know? Mercenary groups are always having trouble raising funds."


"……Ahh!"


Apparently, he noticed


"But we need the belongings to explain to the bereaved families."


"It is a pity"


While saying this, there is a figure of a soldier stabbing a sword into the decoration in the armor and peeling it off.


"That item is basically the emblem attached to that armor."


"Right."


"And it is not uncommon for armor that has had its emblem removed to be brought by adventurers as antiques. Did you know that?"


"That much I know."


"I guess... but that armor can't be made into an antique."


And then, Zalmbald-dono proceeds with the conversation on his own.


"The armor is too expensive for anyone to buy with all those decorations on it. We have to do something to lower its value."


Decorations that have been torn off are piled up one after another.


"Also, it is necessary to fill up dents and holes. At that time, it is also necessary to remove [unnecessary] areas such as rust, which have no value at all [as armor]."


Ah, I guessed it


"I see, the rust that has been scraped off is a big nuisance."


"That's right. Bringing back rust and other things is an important part of post-war disposal."


"That rust [or something]. Shall we dispose of it?"


"No, no. There is no problem if we take care of it all."


"No, no, the military doesn't have that much time on their hands. We will do it on our side for free."


"Well, let's respect each other's opinion and split it in half, shall we? Let's get rid of the rust and [stuff]."


"Then let's do that. I'll report to the leader later."


"Oh, thank you, hahahaha!"


"Hahahahaha!"


All right.


We've made a substantial profit on hush money.


"Doss!"


Sensei comes running while calling me loudly.


"Sensei?"


"Doss, where did Aritote-san go?"


"She was supposed to be leading the battle on the north, on the Shelma side, right?"


"...She's not there."


"Eh?"


"No one has seen Aritote-san since the battle!"


"No way!"
