Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the magic workshop.

Oh yeah?

Did Benedict leave something behind?

I pushed open the door, puzzled.

But it wasn't Benedict who appeared before them.

It was Aisha, dressed casually.

"I knew it, my brother was here after all."

Aisha said with a grin.

My gaze is fixed ahead.

Two sisters who look very alike followed behind Aisha.

One is a female warrior wearing bikini-style armor, which is very revealing.

The other was a magician dressed in a long robe, completely covered up.

"Ah, Aisha, and... Vera? Shera?"

I instinctively called out their names.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Young Commander Rudeus."

Vera, dressed in bikini-style armor, smiled and said to me.

What kind of weird nickname is that...?

……

……

Vera and Shera.

They are victims who lost family members and were brutally treated during the relocation incident.

After joining the search team, he stayed by Paul's side.

The two of them had also helped out during the previous exploration of the transfer maze.

nowadays.

The search party has begun to transform into a mercenary group.

Vera and Shera naturally became veteran members of the mercenary group.

A few hours ago.

The two arrived in Sharia.

Accompanying them were ten other core members.

They are all experts who can stand alone in their respective fields.

As for the purpose of coming to Sharia...

Naturally, the goal is to establish strongholds for mercenary groups.

Upon arriving in Sharia, Vera arranged for everyone to go to the Adventurers' Guild to gather information.

He then took his sister and went to Rudius's house to seek help.

This is what Commander Paul instructed.

"Rudy has extensive connections in Sharia, enjoys considerable prestige among adventurers, and knows some important nobles. He will definitely offer assistance."

"Once we arrive in Sharia, we should seek his help."

So saying.

Then he gave Vera the address of Rudius’s house.

Vera and Shera found Rudeus's house, but Rudeus was nowhere to be found.

Instead, they found Aisha cleaning the house.

After learning the purpose of their trip.

Aisha then asked Leo to help look after the house and take care of the children.

Then he changed into casual clothes and brought the two of them to the magic workshop.

……

……

Honestly.

The mercenary group is developing faster than I expected.

It's probably because they have enough funds.

In just two years, the mercenary group has completed its basic transformation.

As things stand at the moment.

A significant number of its members have already begun to be active in conflict zones and have made a name for themselves.

Paul is expected to become active soon as well.

Of course, since the fundamental purpose was originally to collect intelligence.

Establishing bases around the world is also quite important.

The magical city of Shalia.

This is the territory of the three great magical kingdoms.

As long as we can successfully establish a base here, we can smoothly launch our operations in the three great magical kingdoms.

Take this into account.

Paul sent Vera and Shera, who were quite familiar with me, to come.

……

"These are the funds for our operation that Commander Paul gave us."

Vera carried a total of approximately 5000 Milis coins.

This is a considerable fortune.

The proceeds from previous explorations of the maze, plus my financial support.

The mercenary group was able to carry out its operations smoothly thanks to this.

"That's it..."

I thought about it for a moment.

The mercenary group's normal operations do not require my intervention.

Among the core members brought by Vera were people in charge of this area.

“I understand. Then I’ll take care of connecting you with the people in the Magic Guild. I can manage that.”

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Commander."

"Don't use those weird names..."

……

The Magic Guild, though it's just a guild.

However, in the three great magical kingdoms, the importance of magic guilds is extraordinary.

In a sense.

The Magic Guild is the de facto ruling organization in the entire Sharia.

To establish a mercenary group here, permission must be obtained from the Magic Guild.

all in all.

The plan to travel to the air fortress has been postponed.

In the next few days.

I contacted Principal Georg through Vice Principal Genas.

Georg, a Wind King-level mage.

He serves as the principal of the magic university and is also an executive member of the magic guild.

I acted as a go-between and introduced Vera to the principal.

Although Ariel had considered offering to help, I politely declined.

Because Ariel's identity is quite sensitive.

The second princess of the Kingdom of Asura.

If she were in charge of facilitating the connection, while the chances of success would be greater, it would hinder the possibility of further development.

After all, the three great magical nations are independent and autonomous countries.

They probably don't want to see those with backgrounds in other countries operating within their own country.

Well, having said that.

Later, there were plans to move the mercenary group's headquarters to Yars.

But that’s for later.

……

While the plan was underway in Sharia's area.

Alster and I went to Paul's side.

Of course, the movement is achieved through a transfer magic circle.

Aisha was also traveling with them.
