    Settlement (3)

    “……..”

    “If you’ve ever worked with Van you would know. This is definitely about quality over quantity. “Know that you want at least one decent item.”

    “You’re impatient. “How about we first receive the promised items and talk about it?”

    As Evelin said that she handed over the security bag and a letter that were lying at her feet to the two people.

    “A module containing Craig’s artificial intelligence data that was promised in advance. And it’s a VIP admission ticket to the underground auction house.”

    Jenny quickly opened the two items checked the contents and nodded.

    “Not to mention the module part… and the auction house ticket is also genuine. “I didn’t know they would save me so quickly.”

    “What does the enforcement agent think? “The number of dangerous items we purchased directly from there must have exceeded hundreds.”

    If you can’t take away security items released on the market do you just buy them directly from the auction house? This is the way of doing things befitting a Balkan civil servant.

    While Jenny was handing over the module and ticket to Lennok Evelyn turned on the tablet that was on the desk and handed it over to the two people.

    “It’s an electronic ledger that organizes the equipment and artifacts we have here. Take a look and tell me if there’s anything you like.”

    As Evelin said that she raised her teacup again.

    “Negotiations will start again then.”

    “Hmph… let’s see if you’ve picked out some good enough items to say that.”

    Jenny said that then picked up the tablet and quickly started flipping through the catalog that appeared on the screen.

    Lennok held his throbbing head and watched her quietly flip through the pages of the tablet.

    She was flicking through the screen without saying anything to him but it seemed like she was looking at how many items were not up to her standards rather than examining each item in detail.

    As I was looking through the pages from the side I saw a variety of equipment mainly used by agents such as various firearms defensive equipment communication devices and transportation devices.

    It is natural that if it is an item recorded in the ledger it is basically an item that the agent has thought about and considered the use of.

    Jenny quickly flipped through the dozens of pages of the catalog and nodded.

    “Except for the fact that there are quite a few mass-produced firearms the overall level is not bad. It looks like you can see quite a few items from the workshop. “At this rate it would be worth accepting it instead of cash.”

    As she said that she handed over the tablin completely to Lennok.

    “half. First choose what you want. I will look at it and tell you for sure how much it is. “Let’s not lose even a single penny.”

    “jenny…..”

    Would it be a mistake to think that her mischievous smile feels particularly reassuring today?

    Lennok feeling for the first time a strong sense of trust in her that he had never felt before nodded without realizing it.

    Jenny who was close to Lennok’s side began to explain every object she could see.

    “Duke 071 is a product in the premium category among the products of Dyke a company that produces single molecule cutters. “Not only is the production volume itself small but the production line has recently been moved to a full production line so demand is skyrocketing.”

    “The 3rd generation Canelo Visor is a product that has only recently begun to be released to the civilian market among military goggles equipped with AI functions. Not only has the performance itself been proven but its durability in harsh environments can be said to be the best among products in its class.”

    “The Miller IV is the most highly regarded product among self-defense pistols. It normally exists in the form of a bracelet but it uses a transformation technology where it is newly designed in a way that it is disassembled into cubic pieces and then reassembled according to the user’s brain waves. “I’ve never used this myself.”

    Lennok and Evelyn looked at Jenny with curious eyes as she recognized where Lennok’s gaze landed like a ghost and recited a series of explanations.

    You can’t help but be surprised that she who usually doesn’t show anything suddenly starts explaining all kinds of equipment as if she’s been waiting for it.

    “When you work as a broker you learn things naturally and you search for them and study them separately. “In particular since this equipment industry is widely distributed regardless of freelancers or institutions it also serves as a standard for estimating compensation and budget costs.”

    Is there a reason why not much is said despite brokering and processing dozens of requests a month?

    From then on every time Lennok flipped through the catalog Jenny told him in great detail what advantages the agent had and how it would help Lennok.

    As her words became longer Evelyn’s hand which was silently holding the teacup began to tremble.

    After all isn’t this a place to choose things to give to Lennok?

    The two people looked at the items for a while while flipping through the tablet without any worries.

    Lennok who was flipping through the middle to the latter part of the catalog suddenly stopped when he saw a familiar item.

    “This is…”

    A huge bazooka with a pitch-black gun barrel and various cartridges.

    Isn’t this the battery that Chaisha Arwell carried around and fired all kinds of rockets?

    Jenny saw that and scratched her cheek with an embarrassed expression.

    “Multiple Operational Artillery Designated Weapon Tartarus. It’s been a hot topic in the defense industry for a while but to be honest I don’t recommend it. Regardless of whether you can handle it it is difficult to clean it up because the places where it can be used are so limited. “It’s something that only an institution of this size would proudly carry around.”

    “hmm……”

    Lennok also agreed that although size or transportation method itself would not be a problem if shrinking magic was used the places where it could be used were very limited.

    Unless you are going into the enemy’s territory like in this operation it will be difficult to pour out artillery fire at will.

    “Plus the price of cartridges here is ridiculous so it can end up making your belly button bigger than your stomach. “If you want to bombard it would be better to look for another product.”

    Considering the price of the cartridge it is definitely not something you need to get your hands on right now.

    Lennok skipped the screen without hesitation.

    I could feel Evelyn smiling bitterly across from me but it wasn’t something worth worrying about here.

    In the end Lennok chose three items while carefully following Jenny’s advice and handed the tablet to Evelyn.

    The first is armor that completely covers the chest and upper body when deployed by injecting magical power. It has excellent practicality in that it can be used as a pistol holder that can be lightly worn on the shoulder in everyday life.

    The second is a kit of the highest quality painkillers and treatment used by enforcement agents. It is said to be made of items similar to or better than the headlock given by Dray close to a quasi-elixir and is imbued with magical power so it is worth a lot of money.

    And the last one is the Sight Glass-992 which is said to be the best among the sniper rifles used by agents on the front lines.

    This product was recommended to me by a gun store called Gun & Barrel some time ago but I never thought I would see it again now.

    Would you say that its sophistication alone makes it the best among existing rifles?

    Jenny said that it is a product mainly used by designated marksmen among enforcement agents so its performance is certain.

    After checking the items Lennok had selected Evelyn nodded with a reluctant expression.

    “good. “If this is the case we will incur a lot of loss but considering our future relationship with you it is not a waste.”

    “Don’t be fooled. If I was losing more than this it wouldn’t have been a joke to be condescending. “I think I can rip off more.”

    “……”

    In the end as Jenny said Evelyn was able to complete the transaction only after handing over an additional bracelet that increased magic control efficiency.

    ‘It doesn’t feel as bad as I thought.’

    I never thought that low-efficiency magic-related artifacts would be of much help but perhaps because Lennok’s magic sensitivity is so good in the first place I feel like it’s okay.

    Should we pay attention to these artifacts in the future?

    Jenny smiled with satisfaction after seeing the bracelet on Lennok’s wrist. Looking at her like that Evelyn sighed.

    “Ha… I hope we can clean up the incentive issue right here and avoid having to talk about it again later. “There’s still so much work to be done.”

    “don’t worry. “For that purpose I came here with my class.”

    “okay. I hope so…”

    Evelyn silently nibbled on a carrot with a listless expression on her face.

    Even if you are an archer who shoots arrows flying through the city government’s night sky you cannot be free from the city’s base interests.

    In this chaotic city where monsters as big as her lurk there aren’t many things that can be solved simply by force.

    Especially for those who exercise influence in both positive and negative areas such as agents.

    So Lennok understood how responsible and tired she must be.

    What meaning does the title ‘external advisor’ have on Lennok’s head?

    “Anyway it’s surprising.”

    Evelyn turned her head towards Lennok as if she felt energized after eating fiber.

    “I never thought you would be so interested in firearms.”

    “what?”

    “It’s not common to be interested in shooting while handling such powerful magic. “You can carry a revolver as a sidearm but it’s rare to choose a sniper rifle.”

    “……”

    It was difficult to explain so Lennok kept his mouth shut.

    Is there any reason to explain here that the efficiency he gains through shooting assist magic goes beyond the inconvenience of simply carrying a gun?

    Such questions were meaningless to Lennok after he was able to carry them by adding lightening and shrinking magic to his firearms.

    However the reason why I chose the sniper rifle was because of the powerful sniping ability that Evelyn showed in the Trade Center.

    Lennok also coveted its powerful long-distance support ability to accurately suppress targets over several kilometers.

    If you use this powerful sniper rifle in combination with his shooting assist magic it will be possible to modify its power to suit Lennok’s tastes.

    Evelyn looked at Lennok like that and quietly opened her mouth.

    “If you want to learn about sniping it wouldn’t be a bad idea to join an agent. He’s an enforcement agent and there’s no fool who can’t handle a gun. “If it’s not true I can teach you directly…”

    “Hey what are you doing with my customer in front of you?”

    “Stay still. Isn’t the important thing about the class? “It’s a loss to the entire city for a wizard as powerful as me to do as he pleases.”

    Lennok who was staring at the two people who started bickering again quickly shook his head and picked up the teacup in front of him.

    When I think about Hina’s reaction to making fun of her in the past for not knowing how to ride a bike I realized something.

    Is this why I have only shown myself handling everything so easily so far?

    Others seemed to find it quite surprising that there was something Lennok couldn’t do or that he was trying to learn something.

    If you can accept this kind of teasing a few times and increase the intimacy of others it is not a loss-making business.

    In fact the atmosphere of the place which had been quite stiff was becoming softer through the words Evelyn and Jenny shared.

    It wouldn’t be strange to want a colleague with some humanity rather than Lennok who thoroughly hid his flaws and touted only his strengths.

    Therefore Lennok quietly looked out the window while listening to the conversation that was ringing in his ears.

    The difficult operation is over.

    It didn’t seem like a bad idea to stop for a moment and look around after receiving the reward for completing the hard work.
