Last Friday night, I sent Boss a message.
I said that I wanted tonegotiate.
Boss was silent for a week until she messaged me today.
The content of the message was a coordinate pointing to an intermediate-rank danger zone on the outskirts of Gyeonggido.
She was clearly telling me to come.
"...Huh?"
When I arrived, I saw an abandoned house standing alone in the middle of a dense forest.
It was a stone house that often appeared in scary movies, with stone bricks with fading color covered in moss and vines, and darkness shining through the broken window.
I went inside.
The sound of footsteps echoed out from darkness. I got goosebumps on my skin every time a chilly wind blew.
"Hello?"
The moment I voiced out, something large dropped down from the ceiling. Evandel's Ghost Wolf shot out of my chest in response, and I opened my eyes to grasp the situation.
"...A bat?"
Flying Nightmare.
A giant bat was being crushed by Fenrir. Er, wait, I was Fenrir.
—Krrrr! Krrrr!
—Guaaaa!
The giant bat struggled as hard as it could under the Ghost Wolf, but its neck was quickly bitten and twisted like a stringless puppet.
The Flying Nightmare should be an intermediate rank grade 6 monster, but it was helpless against the Ghost Wolf.
"I guess I'll leave close ranged combat to him."
I could just shoot from long range and the wolf could take care of anything that neared me. It was the perfect combination.
Kiiiik—
Soon, the door behind me opened and small footsteps rang out.
I turned around.
As expected, it was Boss.
She looked back and forth between the dead bat and the wolf, and asked.
"Is it your pet?"
"Yes? Ah, yes, something like that."
"It's cute. First, take a seat."
Boss pointed at a table, which was the only furniture in the house.
I sat down in front of it, with the wolf lying next to me.
I asked Boss.
"Did you leave the bat here on purpose?"
"No, many monsters live around here. It must have come in on its own. Anyways, I heard you wanted to negotiate?"
"Yes."
"Let's hear it. What condition didn't you like?"
Boss took out the contract once again.
An official mercenary contract. It was a good offer with a salary, which mercenaries rarely received.
However, what I wanted couldn't be written down on a contract, nor was it allowed to.
"I liked the conditions."
"Then what?"
"There's one request I'd like to make."
Boss tilted her head with a puzzled look.
With a thing smile, I told her what must be done.
"I need you to help me kill someone."
