I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 8 – Information Organization, Meeting the Black Feather Branch Leader (4)

After leaving the Skywind Tavern, I returned to the inn where I stayed.

It was the Whirlwind Inn, where Mr. Justin, the owner of the Skywind Tavern, had told him that he could hire mercenaries.

When I entered the inn late last night, paid the fee and stayed, I didn’t even know the name of the inn.

I was in a situation where I needed to find a place to stay right away, so I stayed at an inn recommended by Hans, a vigilante.

“You see this and say it is dark under the lamp.”

I muttered to myself as I opened the door of the Whirlwind Inn and went inside.

“Huh? “It’s still a long way until lunch time. What’s going on?”

When I entered the Whirlwind Inn, a waitress was bending down and sweeping the floor with a broom. When she heard me coming in, she straightened up and looked at me.

She had freckles on her face and her hair was dull blonde.

If the information Justin gave was correct, this woman would be the person Justin had told about at the Whirlwind Inn.

I walked up to her and whispered gently into her ear.

“I’m here with the introduction of Mr. Justin of the Black Feather.”

“Wait a minute.”

When I whispered Justin’s name in her ear, she looked around and her demeanor changed completely.

“Justin of the Black Feathers? Are you by any chance referring to Justin, the branch leader of the Black Feather Belsarem branch?”

She started telling me all of Justin’s personal information without me even asking.

By the way, Mr. Justin, you were quite a high-ranking person.

I thought the black feather meant a title, but I never thought it was the name of an organization.

But the Belsarem branch means that there are other branches besides that, right?

Oh, wait a minute. But Belsarem is the name of the city I have to go to, right?

‘Could it be that all of this was planned by Mr. Justin?’

I suspected Mr. Justin for a moment, but then he shook his head.

Given the name Black Feather and the fact that they knew something suspiciously well, it was highly likely that the organization Black Feather was an organization that sold or collected information.

Why, isn’t that there? This is information that often appears in creative works. Justin, who taught me this and that, is exactly that kind of character.

“If you are the branch leader of the Belsarem branch, you must be an amazing person.”

“He is a great person. Speaking of Black Feather, he is a huge intelligence dealer competing for first or second place in the empire, and among them, he is the branch leader of the Belsarem branch, which is said to have the strongest branch power.”

I see. The guy named Justin wasn’t disguising himself as an ordinary bar owner, but he was probably gathering some information here.

But what threat does he pose to me? I did it, but in fact, I was the one who attacked it recklessly, so I was also at fault for that incident, so let’s move on.

Anyway, what I need now is not how great Justin is, but a mercenary who can escort me to Belsarem.

He is also a mercenary with solid skills and credibility.

The reason I was looking for a mercenary with solid credibility right now was because people say people are scarier than ghosts.

It is unlikely that a ghost will pose a physical threat to me right now, but there is a high possibility that a stranger will suddenly use unprovoked violence against me.

Before I died, notices of stabbings and murders were commonly posted.

Of course, it is assumed to be a copycat crime, but I had no idea there were so many crazy idiots in this world trying to copy crazy things.

Ah, all the kids who wrote warnings about stabbings or murders as copycat crimes were sentenced to prison without probation.

I was curious enough to look up the verdict of the trial, and the judge sentenced all of the defendants to prison, saying that they wasted valuable investigative and police resources, causing damage to social public interests and increasing social security costs. It was a slap.

It is said that an appeal was made, but an expert said that since it has been approved by a judge, there is a high possibility that the High Court or Supreme Court will uphold the decision even if the appeal is made.

Anyway, people were such dangerous beings.

So, I set clear standards for hiring mercenaries.

If there is a mercenary with skill 3 and 5 credibility and a mercenary with skill 5 and 3 credibility, we will prioritize credibility over skill.

By prioritizing trust over skill, I wanted to prevent the possibility of a mercenary betraying me in exchange for high compensation.

So, I believed Justin’s words and came to the Whirlwind Inn.

“That’s okay, please introduce the mercenary. “I came here because Justin told me about it, so you’re sure of my credibility, right?”

“Yes! Sure. “All of the mercenaries who have been staying at the Whirlwind Inn for a long period of time, as recommended by Branch Manager Justin, have experience in the mercenary industry and are highly trustworthy.”

“I’m looking for someone to escort me to Belsarem. Can I see his actual credit information?”

“Of course. Here’s a list, all the mercenaries listed here…….”

“You said you were going to Belsarem? “How about signing a contract with me?”

As I was looking at the list handed to me by the waitress and thinking about who to sign a contract with, I heard a voice from someone I had heard before from somewhere on the second floor.

‘I’ve heard that voice a lot…’ ….’

I turned my head and looked in the direction the sound came from. I had to believe my eyes.

‘Se, Serin Ekatos?’

That was because the identity of the person walking down the stairs was none other than Serin Ekatos.

Serine Ekatos is one of the heroines of Erasto Chronicle, and her rating is a whopping 5 stars.

The saying that you were born 5-star means that you only need to break the limit once to go up to 6-star.

Is that all? Even her basic stats were good, so if I picked her in the early draw, I was able to clear all of her missions.

In particular, she was the type that was good at one-on-one fights, so if she rained explosive damage on her bosses, most of the bosses would just die, except for some bosses who could withstand her attacks with the damage immunity gimmick.

But why on earth does she want to sign a contract with me?

‘Oh, wait a minute. ‘I think I saw you in the morning?’

When I thought about it, there was a person who approached me in the morning with very messy hair and face.

I wondered where I had heard such a tone of voice, but it seems she approached me before decorating and received a delicious bread conversion service.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Serine Ekatos. You captured people’s hearts with delicious bread in the morning, right? “I guess I’m one of those people.”

“Oh, yes…” ….”

To be honest, I still haven’t realized whether Serin Ekatos is real or not.

“I enjoyed the bread you made this morning. Isn’t it the most delicious bread I’ve ever eaten? In return, I will escort you to Belsarem at a very low cost.”

When Serin Ekatos said she would escort me, I looked at the waitress who was arranging the mercenaries.

The moment her eyes met mine, the waitress nodded her head.

It was taken as an indication that it would be a good idea to trust oneself and sign with Serin Ekatos.

“How much will you ask for?”

“Hmm. Normally, escort missions start with 3 silver coins, but since you gave me a special experience, I will only accept 2 silver coins. Instead, by making delicious bread for every meal. How is it? “Are you okay?”

I was dumbfounded by Serine Ekatos’ words.

Are you okay? Can you say that? Anyone who refuses this would be the most ignorant fool in the world.

“Of course it’s okay.”

I welcomed her warmly with open arms.

Soon she and I shook her hand, and she was able to sign her contract under the mediation of a waitress.

Standard mercenary hiring regulations are followed, and instead of reducing hiring costs through special conditions, a provision has been added where the employer prepares the meals requested by the hired mercenaries.

Selene and I smiled and shook hands, as if we were satisfied with each other.

With this, employment conditions were created between me and Serin, with me becoming her employer and her becoming my hired mercenary.

A powerful ally named Serin Ekatos suddenly joined us, so I stopped by the only bakery in town and bought a few loaves of coarse bread.

Because I purchased several loaves at once, the bakery owner kindly sliced the bread for me.

They say there is no need to prepare water to drink.

“Don’t worry about drinking water. “Because I have the Water Stone.”

The water stone that Serin was talking about was a magic tool with a magic circle engraved on a magic stone.

It was said that by using this, a sufficient amount of water can be produced even in places where there is no water.

And this was the game company’s answer to a gamer’s question about why the heroines in Erasto Chronicle had trouble finding water.

Anyway, food and drink were ready, so all that was left was to depart for Belsarem.

“You got everything, right?”

“Ah, don’t worry. “It was a long-term stay inn anyway, so I packed only the minimum amount of luggage.”

The gate of the fence protecting the oak village was opened, and Serin and I were finally able to begin our journey towards Belsarem.
