I’ve been reborn as a villainous lord, so I’m going to defeat the mastermind with a group of characters who are good at just one skill

After dinner, Kurt and his companions decided to go around the territory looking for work for Yuna.

Everyone is working together, even though they're poor."

　Although he was still not trusted as a lord, still, when Kurt approached him, he began to talk to him, albeit awkwardly.

　Just then, there was a farmer, Kamil, in the field, so he called out to him.

'Is something troubling you?'

'This is Kurt-sama. That's because recently sometimes monsters have been destroying the farms. ......"

"I understand ....... I'll see what I can do about it."

　The loss of all the guards seemed to have affected even this area.

　If a toll is taken in the first place, the safety of the road should be guaranteed to some extent.

 

 

　On the other hand, the damage is directly related to the daily lives of the people in the territory, and even to the farms, which are related to tax revenue.

--This is something that must be done as soon as possible.

　As he thought about this, Yuna was beating her own chest.

"All right, this is where I come in. I'll go and defeat the demons quickly. Oops!"

　Kurt was in a hurry to poke Yuna in the head because she suddenly said something outrageous.

'Don't tell me you think you can't do it.'

'So, I can do it!　Despite my appearance, I'm a hero ...... apprentice."

You're an apprentice after all, right?　Have you ever defeated a monster?

"Ugh,....... In my mind, I'm ......"

I won't say anything else. You can't do that. You're not ready to take on the monsters around here.

　Yuna is probably level 1.

　The only monsters that she could defeat would probably be those in the surrounding areas of the royal capital.

　And she can only defeat them with help from her comrades.

　

　　Although there are some players who travel alone, it is a very special case and they have to raise their level before they can proceed with the story.

　It is not a mistake to travel alone at the first level with a wooden stick.

　There was no reason to play it that tight in the reality that if one dies, it's the end of the world.

"I would have to ask Nicklas if it would be possible to make a request to the mercenaries."

"But, but we don't have enough money to make the request..."

　Camille said anxiously,

You don't need to worry about that It is the lord's job to secure the safety of his territory. I'm asking the mercenaries to do the work of the guards, so of course I'll get the money, okay?"

"Yes, is that all right?　This is my farm, so ......"

"You will grow a tasty crop for me."

"I understand!　I will make it with all my heart and soul."

　Kamil gives a big smile at the end.

◇◇◇

In order to fulfill Camille's request, Kurt and his group arrived at the branch office of the mercenary association.

　The building was abandoned, and the moment they opened the door, they were hit by dust.

"Who's there?

　Niklas of the Mercenary Association has his feet on the table and is stirring his drink despite the daylight.

　However, the moment the door opens, he gives me a sharp look.

'Is this place ...... indeed not going to change anytime very soon"

'Kurt, huh? As expected, it will take a few days to move from other places. In addition, there is no proper request, how many people are really interested in coming to such a place ......?"

"I see... ....... I wanted to talk to you about a request."

"If that's the case, you'll have to be quick about it."

　Niklas puts his foot down and gives a serious look.

"What's your request?　Ditch sweeping?　Rats?　Gathering medicinal herbs?　Are you looking for something?"

--Isn't that the lowest rank of request?

　It is said to be a request that an apprentice who has just become a mercenary does in order to get a feel for the job, and it is basically what is left on the bulletin board.

　In the game, it was explained that such requests were available, but it was only from a request for defeating the enemies that it could actually be accepted as a request.

-I didn't expect such a request to be wanted. ......

　Kurt was puzzled by Niklas' unexpected response.

'Today's request is something different, but should I request that kind of thing as well?:

'Yes. Mercenaries can't live without requests. It's easier to come with peace of mind when there are constant requests that ensure you can spend the day."

"I understand. I'll think about it."

"And if not that kind of thing, what kind of request were you going to make?"

"I wanted to ask you to investigate and defeat the monsters that attack Camille's farm".

　Niklas exhaled and lit a cigarette.

'As expected, I doubt anyone would accept a request of that caliber".

'Is it going to be tough to get from outside ......?'

'Depends on the money, but with all the notoriety I've had, I don't know if anyone will take it. even if I pay twice the usual fee."

"'Notoriety......'?

"For now, if you're dealing with monsters, it's better to set a trap and see how it goes. I'm going to give you some more information that's not good for you."

"I don't want to hear too much ......."

""Don't say that. This is another thing that needs to be dealt with."

　Too much trouble, and it's getting tiresome.

　Kurt let out a sigh.

'So what happened?

'The thieves have been made aware that there are no guards in this territory. They're going to come after us for the gold sooner or later."

'Ha......, well, that's what's going to happen."

"The church also announced that the Antoner lord was a traitor who had made a treaty with a demon tribe. They're going to send out more than one hero and saint."

"I see. ......'

--probably this is a scheme of the Grand Duke Kasteen.

　He must have been made to look like an eye-sore by having all of his protégés driven away.

--I guess I'll have to move too.

　But to do so, it is necessary to prevent this attack.

...... need more manpower."

"I know. I know. I'm asking around for some contacts on my end as well. If there's anyone you can ask on your end, please do."

--I'm not sure who I can contact: ......? The only one I can think of is Irma.
