Chapter 1108 The Mercenary Business Is Always About the Money Part 1

When I gave the helmet the energy that still contributes most to the prosperity of humankind, I got the feeling that my brain was expanding all of a sudden.

The world had already expanded by the time my visibility managed to stabilize, with some moments of dizziness or dark spots still remaining here and there.

Just because you are looking at something, it does not mean that you are going to understand it right away. As if it had been persuaded, more information than I could see with my eyes started to flow into my head, floated there for a moment, only to disappear right the next moment…… I even felt like I was very smart for a second out there.

But I’m sure it’s an illusion, or even a misunderstanding that can’t even be called an illusion. However, it is a fact that this MR compatible full face helmet has expanded my world quite a bit ––––––

「Huh !?」

Well, I feel like I was receiving some dangerous radio waves now…… I think this helmet has something that can’t be explained by simple science…… Only the AR-compatible pumpkin helmet could possibly compare here. And now I can feel like Badugamos was about to enter my mind and just stay there for good.

「Four Badugamoses…… Something is going to happen once you will load them all together.」

And that information will surely be the “key” needed to open the door to victory in this battle…… But if so, then why do I feel so uneasy about it?

Well, to tell the truth, I have a premonition that I will definitely forget if I don’t do it now. Opposing bourgeoisie who seems to have a shit expensive planetarium machine, in case of emergency, use this as a shield!!

This was all so sudden here. A sudden action. A sudden separation. A sudden betrayal. There was most certainly a whole lot of information to process all at once in here, and the first one to be done with processing all that and to get out of the abrupt feeling of frenzy caused by my actions was none other than G Cup Breast Meat.

「…… Now, let me just say this here: this little performance you just put up looked nice and realistic and all that, but do you honestly believe that I am going to believe that? Do you honestly think that I am not aware that this is all but an act? I’d advise you to think again.」

「I mean, you are free to think whatever the hell you want to think. But do you really have dramatic development that much? I honestly just thought that it would be best to sell myself at the best possible time in order to achieve the best possible result. And I did just that here.」

For a moment out there I give the pistol I was holding in my hands a spin, and then I throw it on the ground just like that. Then I take a step forward while raising my hands in the air, performing a gesture that my hands are all empty and that I have no hostile intentions on my mind.

「Yeah, nice try there buddy, but I still don’t trust you. Now stay right where you are and don’t move an inch. You might not have any weapons, but you might be loaded with enough explosives to send this whole place sky high.」

「Hmm, alright. It’s perfectly reasonable for you to stay on high alert. Then, how about I do this as a sign of my good will?」

I then go back two steps, and then I start taking out items from my inventory and placing them on the ground one by one. Then I take out one item in particular and push the switch on it.

「………… What the!? Was that an explosion inside of the ship I just heard!? What happened!? Give me a status report, quick!」

Mister Mercenary, who happened to be all silent up until now, raised a startled voice over the communication device. G-Cup Breast Meat also seemed to be playing around with the console or two on his end of the room or something like that. Now, it might be the fact that the game was buggy at this moment or something, but we could see the Mercenary’s third ship spewing a lot of smoke from its bank.

「I’m sorry to say this, Mister Mercenary, but it seems that our communications were being jammed out there for a while…… What happened? Why do you sound so distressed?」

「No way, my ship……!! The power output is starting to drop down like crazy!! At this rate I won’t be able to use my main battery! Kuh, at this rate even piloting might be way too tall of an order!」

「…… Hmm, I see. So it seems that it was a bug that was way more serious that you could initially expect. But there is one thing that I cannot wrap my head around. Why would you come this far only to betray your employer in the end? If you were to defeat me as it is, you are bound to receive the appropriate reward, aren’t you?」

It was not all that long until we could see an explosion coming from somewhere within the Great Wall’s interior. Then, G-Cup Breast Meat’s vigilance seemed to have relaxed ever so slightly. Apparently he thought that this was also my doing. Now, he must have been more concerned why would I ever do something like that, than what were my true intentions.

「Well, I mean, to put this simply, it’s all about playing the messenger and receiving the best reward possible that there is out there. I want the support of a Whale player for…… reasons. Reasons that will be left simply as my own for now.」

「Hmm? But if you wanted a strong Whale Player, then Aiban right there is as good of a choice for that purpose as anyone.」

「It’s a long story, so let’s just say that I have my reasons for doing this. And if I were to give you a reason, well…… Let’s just say that I get a feeling that Mister Mercenary is indeed strong, but he seems to be isolated from other players, and that might not be enough for me. …… And a little show like that was the best and fastest way for me to convey to you that I mean business.」

Well, I wonder if it was added as an item to the save data when it was being read after all this time…… I thought it was at the bottom of the inventory, but that seemed to not be the case? Oh, there it was. It was stored as a completely separate item, it would seem.

「It’s a special dish that’s too big for an individual to hold onto…… Mister G-Cup Breast Meat, if you have lots of messengers, does this mean that you are able to capture this thing as well……?」

「This is……」

「Super-Civilized Autonomous Construction Metal Control Unit……」

There was a brief silence. I coughed once while desperately holding down the edge of my mouth in order to prevent me from bursting out with laughter.

「Hmmm…… E-excuse me for a moment while I confirm this. This is Super-Civilized Autonomous Construction Metal Control Terminal…… This is a terminal that fulfills its original role by sending a specific signal to a certain organism, if I’m not mistaken?」
