"Thank you for coming"
Taking a sip of my latte, I glanced towards Smallsnake who was sitting on the opposite seat to mine.
With his arms and legs crossed, Smallsnake looked at me in annoyance.
"...This better be worth it. It took me thirty minutes to get here. I am a busy man..."
Pttfff
Covering my mouth, I almost laughed out loud.
"Stop deluding yourself. Apart from me, there's no one else you currently manage"
"eh...ah"
Speechless, Smallsnake's demenour crumbled as he couldn't find any words to use to refute what I said.
It was true
In the latter half of the novel, when smallsnake meets Kevin, he was still unemployed. This meant that apart from me, there was no one else he managed.
Although he wasn't lying about taking thirty minutes to arrive here, he wasn't busy at all. He was merely pretending to look busy.
With a vein popping from his forehead, Smallsnake's extended his hand in my direction.
"...get to the point"
Nodding my head, I suddenly turned serious. Locking my fingers together I rested my chin on them.
Staring right into Smallsnake's green eyes, I solemnly said
"I want to create a mercenary group"
"...Congrats"
"Thanks, and you're going to be in it"
Nodding his head repeatedly, a smile appeared on Smallsnake's face. It was the smile of someone that had transcended humanity.
"...so let me get this straight. You made me come all the way here to join your mercenary group that still hasn't been founded nor has any members?"
Yeah.
As expected of someone as smart as smallsnake. He instantly understood what I said.
"Who said I'm the only member?"
"There are others?"
"No, not yet"
Smallsnake stared at me with a dumbstruck expression. I scratched the back of my head and took a sip of my latte and murmured
"...they will eventually join"
Haaa…. Speechless, Smallsnake's sigh lengthened as he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It's always like this with him.
Always making proposals that didn't make sense and yet still looking so confident. Almost certain that whatever he was planning was going to succeed.
Smallsnake just didn't understand.
Where did that confidence come from?
"Sigh, I'm sorry but I'll have to refuse"
...In the end, even though he was slightly tempted, Smallsnake refused.
More than him not wanting to join. It was more like he couldn't join...
'Hopefully, I made the right decision...'
