Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

The war situation would probably be settled from now on.

The rest of the discussion will probably be all about politics, such as reparations and apologies.

Whether it will be bilateral talks between the empire and this country, or whether other countries will try to get involved in the peace conference and interfere in some way.

I have a feeling that they are going to say something about being an ally of the Grand Alliance, or about collective security, or something like that

With this, if the reinforcements that were sent out were participating in the battle, a considerable amount of horizontal spear would surround them in all directions.

Both the Empire and Princess Remia were fortunate to have settled the matter early in that regard.

If the imperial army was badly hit in the battle, the Kingdom of Darrisson, Princess Gegeges country, could have an option to invade back. The princess and her vassals may be good people individually, but as rulers, they are relentless politicians.

And even if the Kingdom of Dalison doesnt make a move, its possible that the Kingdom of Colossus, which is ruled by that evil old man-like king, will invade to take advantage of the situation.(TN: )

However, the Imperial invasion forces were only crushed as a result of their chain of command being destroyed, and if you simply consider the number of people without taking into account their rank or position, their human casualties are minor

So, if they go back to their country, regroup with a new commander or superior, and replenish the lost weapons and armor, they can come back as a fighting force rather easily.

So, I think the probability of other countries thinking something crazy is low.

And indeed, the Empire is not likely to move again anytime soon. Perhaps the countries under the Grand Alliance will form a military alliance against the Empire

I dont want to see an imbalance of power, with neighboring countries avalanching into the empire, fighting for territory and then the start of the world war. Ive thought about that too.

And its , you know.(TN: )

Hey! Im not a !(TN: )

Well, that doesnt matter right now.

As for our country, the king will take care of it. Negotiations between nations are the job of the king and his ministers.

Well, lets get back to it.

Perhaps the mercenaries bathing time is too short.

No, I may just kind of Im imagining it

All right, transfer!

=====

They hadnt finished their bath yet.

The Wolf Fang crew were supposed to finish their baths first and let the helicopter team take their time while theyre preparing for the debriefing and social gathering.

Thats why the helicopter team is still bathing.

Well, the preparations for the debriefing and social gathering were already done before I left, and the food and drinks were ordered in advance and already delivered here.

Since we would probably talk about while eating and drinking, it would be inconvenient to use a caterer who would also come to serve us, so we would have to use a delivery service.

We will serve and clean up ourselves, but that cant be helped.

A soldier can at least clean up after himself when hes done eating.

A short time later, the post-war debriefing session began.

Well, it went almost exactly as planned, zero casualties, zero damage to equipment, almost perfect gameplay.

There were no flaws to be seriously discussed or improvements to be made for the future. So, it will be an easy one to finish.

There was a time when I thought like that, too.

No, it was more like, Or, or

As for the operation of the helicopter, neither I nor Wolf Fangs Captain gave detailed instructions.

The reason was that it would be a disaster if a novice, who didnt know how difficult hovering was, gave detailed instructions to the helicopter. So, I only gave the helicopter team general instructions.

So I wish they do that later in their own private review meeting

Well, maybe they wanted to hear Wolf Fangs opinion, or maybe they wanted to hear my opinion as a client, in terms of what the client wants at the very least, so I guess it cant be helped

I mean, the helicopter team says, , but are you really planning to go back there?

Hmm, they did exactly what I expected, they didnt do anything crazy, and they seem like a trustworthy mercenary group, so if theres another opportunity I dont want there to be too much but I could ask for them again. Still, I feel like the mercenary groups other than Wolf Fang, who knows whats going on, wont stay quiet.

Im sorry to say that this may turn to be a fatal blow to Wolf Fangs connections and friendships

Anyway, we had a very serious discussion and then moved on to the social gathering part.

Yeah, well, I mean thats what these peoples is all about, so yeah.

Just dont pull me into it, dont try to make me drink, and dont hug me!

=====

Shortly after the battle against the Imperial forces in the other world, I went to Wolf Fangs headquarters for consultation.

[Hey, captain. I think we need to do something to make up the deficit to the place that sent us the helicopter I know the captain is a rather honest guy, right? If they carry the expenses by themselves like weapons, ammunition, and even pay a fee, its going to be pretty tough on them, isnt it?]Mitsuha

If the place that cooperated with us goes on red due to financial difficulties, it would leave a bad aftertaste to me

Thats why I just told the captain, then he said

[I dont think we need to worry about that. Theyve made so much money in the end after all]Captain

What an unexpected piece of information!

[E e eh? The fact that they were active in another world got them publicity, and they got a flood of requests because of that?]Mitsuha

[You idiot. If a mercenary takes on too much work at once, hell be dead in no time! Those who dont take enough time off to heal and recover from their injuries will be the first to die.]Captain

[Ah, I see so how come theyre loaded?]Mitsuha

[Yeah, about that, they sold the soil and grass they brought back from the other world at auction.]Captain

[Eh?]Mitsuha

No, thats not a problem at all, because I permitted them to do that, but can you make that much money from such ordinary soil, weeds, and flowers?

The captain continued as if he could see by my face that I was having doubts.

[Ah, even if it looked like an ordinary weed, it could be completely different from the earth. They said something about isotopes, genomes, spirals turning right or left, or something I dont understand. Anyway, it seems that a guy who wanted to get his hands on one of the weeds on display won by putting a big bid for it.

and the next exhibit was .

It was also sold for an exorbitant amount of money, and the next item on the list was and so on]Captain

[The Mil Mscaras Mask from the charity auction!]Mitsuha

[You know a lot about wrestling, dont you, Young Miss? And how did you know about such a minor episode!]Captain

[No, Im more surprised that the captain even knows that stuff!]Mitsuha

As expected, its that, isnt it? Arent soldiers interested in flesh and blood warfare stuff?

[Anyway, thats how the series continued.

And when it was finally over, it seems that was exhibited afterwards.]Captain

[No, I didnt expect I mean, Ive already heard the punchline!]Mitsuha

[And when the is over, the will be.]Captain

[]Mitsuha

Thats mercenary for you.

[And as promised, theyre having a screening of the footage they shot, for those who know about the other world only. Although, they charged a ridiculously high fee per viewing.

Even so, I heard that theyve made a lot of money out of it because a lot of government officials and researchers from various countries came to watch it over and over again. Of course, you cant take pictures of the screen, so you have to pay to view it again and again. You have to pay thousands of dollars per person to see it]Captain

[Those Oni! but its within the scope of what Ive allowed, so I guess its okay.

However, whats so valuable about the footage? Theyre just digging in the dirt and picking grass.]Mitsuha

Yeah, thats not much different from kids playing in the dirt around here.

No, a bunch of old men frolicking in the dirt is not such a good sight.

[No, while theyre indeed showing that footage as proof that the dirt and grass really are from another world, the real story is the battle scene with the enemy]Captain

[Eh?]Mitsuha

[They filmed it from the helicopters, since there are two of them, so they can film each others aircraft.

Im sure a lot of governments of the earth would love to have this information.

Besides, there are probably still many countries that would love to get their hands on some soil and grass. Youll never know what youll discover from such things.

Anyway, I heard they made more than enough money to cover the entry fee and the ammo theyve spent.]Captain

Eh?

[Thats why they asked you, Young Miss. And you told them its OK to show the footage they took to those who originally knew about this world

Oh, Ive already confirmed that it doesnt show you or any of us from the neck up. Its not a doctored image either, and were not in the original frame, so you dont have to worry about that.]Captain

E e eh?

[Theyre good at what they do, but theyve kept their promises. Isnt it all within the range of permission from Young Miss?

The part taken from the helicopter was allowed after the fact that you gave your permission, but if Young Miss had said it was no good, the data would have been properly destroyed. Because they are very disciplined people.]Captain

[E e e e e e eh~~ ~!!]Mitsuha

No, well, thats fine.

Even though it was after the shooting, I certainly gave my permission, and theres nothing wrong with that.

Its just that these mercenaries are not naive enough to take on a job that will cost them money for free.

In that sense, theyve done a great job
