Junior).
It is a modifier given when one inherits the name of an ancestor..
And this woman sitting next to me was Jupiter's granddaughter, and she inherited the name and introduced herself as 'Jupiter Junior'..
It's a character I've never seen in a game, but it's rated SSR..
‘I guess she really is Jupiter's granddaughter. Even the gold mine was inherited from ancient times..’
I quickly looked at the stat window and swallowed dry saliva..
The stats aren't that high for an SSR grade, but the important thing is the job and skills..
‘An elementalist?!’
To put it simply, an elementalist is a wizard class that can handle all types of magic..
Of course, among them, the proficiency level is set separately for each attribute, and the attributes that can be handled well and those that cannot be handled are determined..
Anyway, it basically means you can use all attribute magic..
It is the highest tier job among the attribute wizard classes in terms of flexibility and adaptability, capable of responding to almost any situation..
‘We need to recruit! no matter what happens!’
I tried to calm my trembling heart and spoke to Jupiter Junior..
“Jupiter didn't say much about you..”
Looking back, Jupiter did talk about his granddaughter a few times..
‘But you didn’t tell me about the SSR grade.!’
No, of course there is no way Jupiter would see this level..
Anyway, isn't there a huge talent for combat?.
If you have a granddaughter like this, you should have told her right away! I would have immediately bowed down and brought him to you.!
“Hmm, really? My grandmother didn't tell me my story.?”
Jupiter Junior tilted his head..
“I feel sorry. With a granddaughter this cute, she'll show off.”
That's what I said.
If I had a granddaughter with such excellent performance, I would brag about it. No, they'll be bringing some to the front line a long time ago.!
“So, who is that person who looks high at a glance??”
Junior asked, glancing at me..
“Since you asked my name, I guess I can ask my name too.?”
“of course. My name is Ash. Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack.”
Junior looked a little surprised when he heard my name..
“He currently holds the position of commander of the monster front here..”
“I'm sorry I didn't recognize you, Your Royal Highness..”
Junior bowed deeply..
“I couldn't even imagine that I would meet you in a place like this, so it's late to be polite. Please forgive this ignorant girl..”
“There is no need to forgive. Because it’s natural that you don’t recognize me. raise your head.”
When Junior raised his head cautiously, I got straight to the point..
“Let me be blunt, Jupiter Jr. Do you have any intention of coming under my command??”
“yes?”
“The front line here is in dire need of talented wizards like you. Won't you give me some strength since I've already been there??”
“…….”
“Of course, I promise you the best treatment. I promise to give you the highest level of treatment a wizard can receive on any battlefield on the continent..”
I spent that much money just to catch Jupiter, an SR grade wizard..
Jupiter Junior, an SSR grade, was willing to use more than that. There are times when a wizard is needed..
‘I wonder if there are situations where a wizard is not needed.…….’
“Mmm.”
Junior rested his chin in thought for a moment, then gazed at me cautiously..
“Thank you for your kind offer, Your Majesty..”
Ahh!
don't refuse!
“The reason I came to this city was to meet my grandmother..”
“……okay. You came to see Jupiter..”
“yes. So, would it be okay if I met her grandmother first and then consider your offer? I also have some questions for her grandmother…….”
I nodded loudly..
“of course! let's do it.”
It's hard for me to say this, but I think Jupiter was treated well..
I guess I'll say something nice about my granddaughter. Are you going to do it? Do it, Jupiter! please!
“Then, Your Majesty, do you know where my grandmother is??”
“Jupiter is currently receiving treatment in the temple. I was injured recently..”
“aha… … in the temple…….”
“Since you have recovered enough to visit, please stop by right away..”
“I understand, Your Majesty. Thank you.”
Junior stood up with his luggage in a large bag and bowed again to me..
“Well then, see you again. majesty.”
“Draw it. Have a nice visit. Think about my offer carefully.”
“yes!”
Junior walked quickly out of the mercenary guild..
I lowered my voice and whispered to Lucas, who was standing behind me..
“Now that Jupiter is out of power, that granddaughter must be recruited..”
“yes… … But, how will recruitment work??”
“I hope you look like your grandmother. Let’s lure them in with a good salary..”
Junior also had gold-light characteristics..
In other words, it means that if you tempt someone with money, they will easily give in. I guess I should load up some money..
“But, really… … How amazing.”
Lucas said those words while looking at the entrance to the guild where Junior left. I blinked..
“what?”
“That granddaughter. I don't think I look anything like Lord Jupiter... … I think the atmosphere is somehow similar..”
There was certainly no resemblance in appearance whatsoever. The aura that was exuded had something in common..
What can I say… … They both smell weird? Smell like money? Should I say it’s coming?.
“Well, I guess it's a grandmother and granddaughter..”
“And there is another interesting thing. That's a bit rude, but.”
Lucas glanced around and whispered to me..
“The fact is that Lord Jupiter had a child. Amazing.”
“ah… … Honestly, I was surprised too..”
“Even when you talked about your granddaughter before, I thought you were just joking..”
‘“I don’t want you to talk behind my back, but-” Lucas continued, adding such a useless premise..
“No matter how you look at it, Lord Jupiter seems to have been single his whole life. But she has children, and even her granddaughter. It's a bit surprising.”
“That's right…….”
I thought I would have lived my life in my own way, enjoying drinking and smoking and wandering around the world, without being tied down by things like marital relationships..
Suddenly, my granddaughter appears..
“What kind of person is your husband??”
“……Gu, I'm curious. It's a bit weird to ask because it's privacy..”
If you're the kind of person who would end up with that eccentric old lady, it's probably one of two things..
Either quite eccentric or very saintly..
“Anyway, I hope Jupiter speaks well to his granddaughter..”
I put my hands together in front of my heart and prayed.
Sir! God of lottery! God of dice! whoever it is!
“Please let that guy serve here.……!”
***
Temple.
Jupiter's hospital room.
“…….”
Jupiter was lost in thought as he sat leaning against the bed..
Jupiter's hands, which were close to his bones, were shaking..
Jupiter tightly clenched his old hand, which could not even gather an ounce of magic power..
‘It's coming to an end.’
she had a hunch.
That you are coming to an end. As a soldier, mercenary, and wizard.
‘You missed the time to retire by a long time..’
It was ugly and messy, and I struggled to work even a little more. I tried my hand at all kinds of things to earn even a penny more..
I was dishonorably discharged from the military where I had served my entire life. He was recruited from a scouted mercenary group..
I was kicked out repeatedly and always lived as a wanderer. There was no front line that stayed longer than three months..
‘Looking back, I realized there was no place for affection..’
Those days were coming to an end.
‘now… … Can I rest??’
Jupiter clenched his fist again, which was not clenched properly..
‘to me… … Do I deserve it??’
The sight of a village engulfed in flames flashed through my mind..
Jupiter closed his eyes tightly. As if she was trying to erase that painful scene from her mind..
It was then.
Suddenly!
The door to the hospital room opened. Jupiter looked at him curiously..
“what, who…….”
“What do you do?!”
The person who entered the hospital room with a gentle smile was none other than Jupiter Junior..
“You were here? I've been looking for it for a while!”
“……junior?”
Jupiter's face turned pale as he looked at his granddaughter's face..
“How are you here?…….”
“I couldn't contact you very much, so I came to find it myself~ Wow, I didn't know it was stuck in such a remote southern area.?”
Junior, with his butt flat on Jupiter's bed, laughed..
“It's been a while since I saw my granddaughter. What's wrong with her face? I feel like I saw the grim reaper.”
“…….”
“Oh my, why are you so frozen? I think I'm going to eat you?”
Jupiter swallowed dry saliva..
To be honest, it was.
Jupiter often felt afraid of being eaten by this young child who gave him the same name..
chuck.
Junior held out one hand to Jupiter and waved his hand..
“money.”
“Yes?”
“Ask for money. grandma. money.”
“…….”
“What did I come all this way for? It was because her grandmother couldn't contact her and wouldn't send her money..”
“…….”
“Oh my, you don’t have any money? If you don't have it, you can say it doesn't exist.”
“No, no. for a moment…….”
Jupiter quickly searched the pockets of his uniform hanging on the wall next to him..
Eventually, a crumpled piece of paper came out. It was a gold coin certificate..
When Jupiter carefully handed it over, Junior clicked! I grabbed the paper and made a noise..
“to?”
Disappointment flashed in Junior's eyes after checking the amount..
“Not this kind of money. Nothing too big?”
“I'm sorry. Hey. Because I've been injured and down for the last few days... … I couldn't save more money..”
“You can't raise a large amount at once like last time.?”
“This was possible because the lord of this place gave me a year's salary at once. For the time being, there is no way to earn money other than hunting monsters and swiping magic stones..”
Jupiter hesitated for a moment and asked carefully..
“But Junior, the money I sent back then was…….”
“Oh my. We used it all to pay off our debt? How many times have I told you in letters?.”
“…….”
“Thanks to you, I have finished repaying my debt. But is it all over once you pay off the debt? Nope. How many mouths do we have? If I want to make ends meet, I need to earn more..”
Junior, who had been rummaging through things in the hospital room and muttering, ‘Is there anything to take a peek at?’ suddenly blurted out..
“There's nothing wrong with this wire?”
“huh? number of cases?”
“Why, just like my grandmother did when she was in the imperial army. Can't she eat it secretly behind her back?.”
“…….”
“Grandma is a master at finding things like that..”
Jupiter's face turned pale..
The granddaughter looked at the grandmother and smiled naturally..
“huh? There's nothing to eat secretly.?”
