HH Chapter 15
by Geli CakeI wondered why Haylan listened to Christine’s words so readily, but after hearing about their past from Odin, I understood.
It was the day when Christine first died. The bride, along with her parents, met a miserable death right before her wedding.
The perpetrators of this tragedy were the vampires. There was no specific reason. They just did it for fun, because an insignificant half-vampire like her caught their eye.

At the time, Haylan had no way to avenge them. He was in a position where he had to silently endure the stones thrown at him because he was young and powerless.
“He believes that his family’s death was entirely his fault.”

Even though it wasn’t. Odin said Haylan felt a sense of guilt towards Christine, who reincarnated repeatedly, and Christine always worried about him.
‘Guilt, huh….’

No wonder he’s especially soft on his younger sister. He throws a fit whenever he even makes eye contact with me….
Still harboring some resentment towards Haylan’s double standards, I subtly badmouthed him to Odin.

“Yeah, I know, right? I really thought I was seeing a completely different person.”
I hoped he would agree with me. But Odin was even more of a bore than I thought. He didn’t play along with my complaint and immediately changed the subject.

“What are you going to do from now on, Mr. Chahyun?”
“…….”

Is he ignoring me?
Judging by the way he spoke, Odin seemed to think I would refuse Christine’s request.

But even if I struggled, I would eventually end up back in that haunted house. The setting of this game is Haylan’s house. That is to say, I can only achieve the True Ending there.
“I have no choice.”

“I suppose so. As expected, this request is….”
“Since I’m the more mature one here, I have no choice but to endure it.”

“…….”
“Shall we discuss the payment for the request, then?”

I decided to accept Christine’s request. I hadn’t even considered refusing it in the first place.
Furthermore, since Haylan wouldn’t leave the house, I figured it would be better for me to visit and build a rapport with him.

Odin seemed surprised by my decision, but he didn’t try to stop me.
“……Very well. I’ve also been thinking that I should check on him regularly as well.”

Because if Haylan moved without telling anyone again when Christine reincarnated, it would be like wasting her time searching for him, taking away from the time they could spend together. He explained.
“Then let’s do this. I’ll pay you for my wife’s request. Would you mind sending me monthly reports, Mr. Chahyun?”

I casually pushed the window closed, thinking I’d look at the details later. Since I had to go there anyway, there was no reason to miss out on an opportunity to earn money.
‘A report is a piece of cake.’

After confirming the quest acceptance window, I bowed obsequiously and spoke to Odin.
“I have a favor to ask….”

I needed Odin’s help for that.
…And so, here I am, being interrogated by my colleagues along with Odin.

“So, who are you? When, where, how, and why are you going to use our kid?!”
Ryzen gripped my shoulders firmly and gave Odin a menacing smile. I felt incredibly sorry for putting him through this ordeal, considering we weren’t even that close.

‘You never mentioned anything like this.’
‘Sorry.’

I avoided Odin’s glare and smiled awkwardly.
I had been absent without a word for about five days while searching for Haylan. ven though I returned safe and sound without a scratch, I felt like my ears were bleeding from the constant nagging of my colleagues.

So, I pleaded with Odin to come up with a suitable excuse for my prolonged absence from the mercenary group so they wouldn’t worry or find it strange.
Odin falsely claimed to the Captain that he wanted to hire me as his exclusive mage for the time being…and, as you can see, this is the situation we ended up in.

“He’s too weak for that kind of work.”
“That’s right. He’s too clumsy! He gets hurt and messes up all the time; he won’t be of any help!”

“Do you know how picky he is about where he sleeps? And how loudly he snores when he’s even a little tired?”
These guys were making me, an innocent person, look like some kind of weirdo. I felt my face flush with embarrassment as they openly badmouth about me right in front of my face.

Ryzen lifted his chin and asked,
“If you’re hiring an exclusive mage, it can’t be for ordinary work. What makes you think we can trust you with our kid?”

Our kid…. Anyone listening would think Ryzen gave birth to me. I wish someone would stop them, but even the Captain was nodding along.
“Excuse me, but what is your occupation?”

Now they’re even checking his background. This is driving me crazy….
Odin silently endured the humiliation he wouldn’t have to face if it weren’t for me, then pulled out his wallet from his inner pocket and handed over a business card.

“I supply materials to the Magic Tower. I run a small trading company.”
Magic Tower?

Isn’t that the organization Ryzen mentioned when he wanted me to disappear? I think I’ve also heard something about them being at the pinnacle of magic.
‘Ryzen doesn’t like them very much.’

I glanced at Ryzen and murmured inwardly. He had been going in and out of the temple for a while, seemingly searching for something, then complained about wanting to kill everyone from the Magic Tower, saying they were useless.
But for some reason, the expressions of those looking at the business card became strange. The Captain even gasped and asked,

“Are you really the head of this trading company?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can send a telegram1.”

“Check it out.”
The Captain actually handed the business card to the person next to him, and I saw him dash out. It wasn’t long before the guy returned, confirming the information.

The Cpatain’s posture became slightly more subdued. I realized from his demeanor that Odin was more influential than I thought. Our Captain becomes excessively polite in front of wealthy or powerful people.
Sure enough, he turned out to be the owner of a huge trading company, a name everyone would recognize. My face flushed bright red with embarrassment for asking such a favor from someone like him.

“Why would such a large trading company want to recruit from a small mercenary group like ours?”
“……I heard stories about the Red Lion’s mage. I also came for the previous request after hearing the rumors. Isn’t he one of Asileth’s famous attraction?”

‘Huh? Famous attraction?’
I perked up at the unfamiliar words. I was known as the Red Lion’s mage, but that was only within this city. Because it’s such a small town, even the smallest things become the talk of the town.

“I’m just a merchant who deals with money. I have no talent for magic, so I hire competent mages to make a living.”
Odin, regaining his composure despite the pressure-cooker situation, continued his bluff in a clear voice.

“Mr. Chahyun’s talent is too precious to be wasted here. He’s a talented individual who can achieve significant results in less than a day with only a small clue. I’ve come to recognize his abilities through the previous request.”
Is that so? I grinned, pleased with the compliment even though I knew it was just flattery. In the end, I got smacked on the forehead by Ryzen, who told me to stop smiling creepily.

“And you also want to learn magic more deeply, don’t you? Right?”
“Huh? …Oh, yes.”

I quickly agreed before it was too late.
“That’s right. I… I wanted to learn magic more deeply.”

When I emphasized my words and nodded, the guys murmured amongst themselves. For some reason, Ryzen’s gaze towards me wavered.
“What are you talking about? Since when have you been thinking that?”

“……You should have said something!”

“Hey, why are you hitting me?!”
I was unjustly hit on the head for no reason. What the heck?

The Captain spoke,
“Since your workplace is more closely related to magic than this place, it would be better for the kid. However, he still lacks the skills as a mercenary to be sent alone to a foreign land.”

What?
I listened carefully to the sudden criticism and realized that the Captain wasn’t trying to insult me, but rather discussing how Odin should treat me.

“So, how about taking him as an apprentice instead of a mercenary contract? Teach him everything from scratch. He’s not the type to neglect his studies, so you don’t have to worry about that….”
“Although he does cause accidents from time to time!”

The guys burst into laughter at his words. The Captain and Odin actually immediately started modifying the contract right then and there, deciding on my treatment. When they discussed the payment terms, there were so many unfamiliar words that were thrown around that I just let it all go in one ear and out the other.
Odin somehow managed to get their permission! When I looked up at him with admiring eyes, he made a puzzled expression.

‘How did he actually persuade them?’
I thought it was thanks to Odin’s persuasion that made my colleagues suddenly change their minds and agreed to let me go.

Officially, at least, I had become an apprentice mage following him.
