The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

32 – Secretly Greatly (2)

In the end, Rumia and I were in charge of contacting the corps. I should have gone out to buy furniture in the first place.

The only problem was the ‘bully men’ who were involved with Rex.

If Rex had said that he was wanted by thugs right out of his mouth, he might have stepped on her tail as soon as he entered the city.

So I-.

“How are you? Are you like a different person?”

“…… Wow.”

Rumia exclaims briefly.

“Black hair suits you well too.”

I dyed my hair last night. Also in black.

Fortunately, there were dyes in this world as well. Well, it’s set in the late 18th century, so there’s no way there’s no dye.

Of course, since it’s water-based, just washing your hair in a river will make the color fall off.

It was enough for a brief visit to the city.

I’m not going to stay there for a few days, I’m just browsing the furniture store or the raw material store.

Rumia also decided to wear a robe to hide her prominent silver hair.

On top of that, he wore the most modestly designed clothes, so he looked like a porter without fail.

“If you don’t look carefully, you won’t find out in this outfit.”

“They’re idiots anyway, so even if you look closely, you won’t know.”

“Is that so… ….”

“Yes, of course.”

I smiled and said to Rumia. Originally, it is a tradition of possessing games that people cannot recognize their identity even with light camouflage.

“But how do I get to the city?”

“It is said that the battalion commander has prepared a wagon. He told me to wait and bring the materials.”

“Even the carriage?”

“As much as the military police were involved, it seems that one support is sure.”

There is a saying that outside wagons can attract attention, so we decided to move on the munitions wagon provided by Lockhart’s battalion commander himself.

Since it was a wagon directly operated by the battalion commander, it was practically the same as going out in Car No. 1.

‘You can see that the major smells amazing.’

Thinking about it again, he’s a very easy-to-understand person.

For me, who scored quite a bit against Lockhart, having that kind of personality is rather an advantage.

‘You have to get on the rope well since you were a mandarin fish, so you can go up to a better place.’

But that was only when the results came out well.

If the results do not come out well, there is a high risk of facing a headwind.

High expectations mean high disappointment, so in the end it was voted ‘I knew it would’, and I didn’t know there would really be no chance in the future.

I don’t intend to end like that.

The beginning was poor, but the end will be prosperous.

As I unintentionally dipped my feet into the gates again, shouldn’t I go up to the place I dreamed of?

I will become a ‘real’ hero of a weak country that couldn’t even do this or that.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes, Platoon Commander.”

Once again, another opportunity.

Unlike the last time I was just swept away, this time it was my turn to achieve the perfect result with my own hands.

***

Gulp.

He swallowed dry saliva. Rumia, standing next to me, also felt a bit nervous.

“The 3rd Magic Battalion?”

“Yes, I am here to supply repair materials for the official residence.”

“Umm…… ! Pass!!”

The guard guarding the entrance to the city carefully examined my appearance before opening the way. Only then was I able to sweep away my shrunken heart for a moment.

Ranging.

As the carriage stopped for a while entered the city, Rumia let out a breath she had been holding back.

“Puha, it seems that you are checking more clearly than usual.”

“Didn’t I tell you? It’s 100 percent local adhesion.”

The guards in charge of guarding the city of Cherno and the criminal organization form a kind of symbiotic relationship.

That was my conclusion.

If the bullies openly set up, and even threaten the military, they should have at least as much support as the city guards.

That way we can take control of the city to some extent.

The guards pay back money, and the guards ignore the crime.

Instead, the bullies and the citizens take care of their interests as much as possible by not ‘physically’ touching them, and they do evil against outsiders who are not protected inside.

This was the structure in which the society of Cherno City now operates.

‘It looks like K-taste to anyone.’

It was like that when I was dispatched to the front line for a while. Some internet cafes charge 2,000 won an hour.

It’s not even Gangnam.

But it was the same not only for soldiers, but also for people from outside.

Both there and here, in the end, they are sacrificing soldiers and outsiders to enrich themselves.

“The story of Sergeant Rex hasn’t been told yet, but the guys I worked with Sergeant Bell last time will be watching.”

“Really…… What do you know about soldiers?”

“If I have to, I will turn it upside down. They won’t even know who you are anyway.”

“Cook, would you?”

Rumia laughed lightly at the joke thrown to lighten the mood for a while. Looking at it, I let out a new impression.

“Sergeant Rumia looks good smiling.”

“Eh?”

“Don’t you always hear that Sergeant Rumia has a cold expression like me? Because I laugh, I don’t feel anything like that.”

“That…… That. Um, is that so…… ? Thank you.”

Rumia must have been a bit taken aback, as she evaded her words, but then she lowered her head.

The embarrassing reaction is very interesting.

“Platoon commander, we have arrived at the wagon waiting area in the city. From now on, you must move on foot.”

Just in time, the movement of the wagon stopped, and a soldier sitting in the coachman’s seat spoke.

“You worked hard.”

“Thank you.”

Me and Rumia said our thanks and jumped off the carriage.

“If you go a little to the right from here, you will see the ‘Couple’ building. The waiting area here also belongs to the Merchant Guild.”

As the coachman said, there were quite a lot of people on the other side of the street that turned right away. People dressed up in colorful and luxurious clothes and talking loudly.

It is the front yard of the Merchant Guild, no matter who sees it.

‘It’s one of the few civilian forces that can be contacted in Haojie.’

Merchant Guild, Mercenary Office, Mage Tower.

If it is not related to the military or politics, there are only those three forces that can be used in the civilian sector.

Among them, the Merchant Guild was useful for various tasks such as procurement and transportation of military supplies, and securing funds.

I was also a force that I often used.

Last time, I wandered around mainly on the workshop street and the central commercial district, so it seems I didn’t check it out and passed it on.

“Should I arrange materials first? You just have to look at the furniture slowly anyway.”

“I think it would be nice to do that.”

As we proudly open the door to the Merchant Guild and enter, a man dressed in rugged attire blocks our way.

“How are you doing?”

From the outfit finished with metal in places, to the sword worn around the waist.

At first glance, he must be a security guard managing the union.

“I came from the 3rd Magic Battalion. I came here for a material contract related to building renovation.”

“Ah, you came from the nearby unit, right? Could you please show me your ID?”

“I don’t have an ID, but there is a letter from the battalion commander.”

I knew this and handed over the documents I had brought to the guard. It is a clear document with the seal of the 3rd Battalion clearly stamped along with the signature of Lieutenant Colonel Lockhart Cromwell, the battalion commander.

“This should be enough.”

The guard slipped back and opened the way. It’s not really a forged document made by fake, so there’s no reason to be intimidated.

‘But where should I go now?’

In fact, the Merchant Guild was also an element that could be done with a single window in the game.

Now that there is no such thing, it looks like a complex and crowded building to me.

After stuttering a bit, Rumia, standing next to her, winks at me.

“Leave this to me.”

Without hesitation, Sergeant Lumia went to what appeared to be the receptionist, and she sat down and began to chat skillfully with the receptionist, who was fiddling with her abacus.

“I’m here to procure construction materials for a battalion, but I need northern white oak.”

“Can I set the price based on general military delivery?”

“Yes, please do so…” … Also, I would like to find out some furniture to use in the barracks.”

There isn’t even a separate list, but Rumia arranges all types of furniture without hesitation.

Seeing her talking only to the core, the receptionist, who was initially amused, corrected her posture and sat down, and she was diligently writing down her documents.

As Bell Meyer said, I could feel her Lumia’s sincerity toward her interior.

“Then, please give me the waybill and receipt as well.”

“Ah…… Sorry, we cannot issue a waybill at this time.”

“Yes? Then how do you guarantee transportation?”

“Either you operate the troop wagon yourself, or you have to sign a separate contract with our guild for a wagon and move it together.”

In other words, delivery is not possible, right?

Basically, isn’t it common for bulky and heavy items such as building materials and furniture to be directly transported by the Merchant Guild?

In the first place, it was natural at the point of receiving a certain amount as a transportation fee.

“Can you guess why?”

In the end, when I joined in and asked, the receptionist answered in a troubled voice.

“I don’t know the details either. It’s just that the head of the union ordered to freeze the transportation books.”

“A book freeze?”

Doesn’t a book freeze stop the issuance and destruction of all documents related to transportation? Suddenly at this point?

Something smelled.

The moment when Lumia also felt uneasy, their gazes matched perfectly.

Boom!!

“I’m telling the union leader to come out immediately!!”

It was a large man wearing a cuirass with only the upper body covered with sheet metal. A pistol issued by the Principality of Ukraine attached to the waistband.

After that, soldiers dressed as guards rushed into the Merchant Guild.

“Oh, stop! No matter how much the guards were, they couldn’t blindly enter the union like this…….”

The union guards who blocked me and Rumia earlier stopped.

“What? This bastard!!”

Paak!

After getting hit by a huge man’s fist, I rolled on the floor.

“I am Cherno City Guard Captain Ramur! Tell Chairman Shakov to come out! Otherwise, I’ll throw you all in jail for disobeying orders!”

Guard Captain Lamour.

One of the several people Major Lannister had pointed out as a person to pay attention to was in front of his eyes.
