Another World Mall-Chapter 505: Next Mission

"Thank you very much." Hana politely shook the hand of an old man wearing a military uniform.

He looked at Hana with a serious expression before saying, "I now finally understand why you are said to be scarier than your grandfather. It seems that the Skylark conglomerate doesn’t lack a successor."

"Hahaha. You are jesting. I’m just a simple student."

The man shook his head helplessly. "Then shall be it. I hope that there is no need for the military and businessmen to have a conflict in the future."

"That’s what I hope as well." Hana smiled.

The old man closed his eyes before taking his leave. Two people were waiting outside, each of them was Tier 7. The first one was wearing the military uniform, so once the old general came out, he followed him.

On the other hand, Hana’s guard—sent by her grandfather—checks her condition before standing by on the outside.

Hana let out a long sigh. "It’s better like this. Anyway, I have gotten the permission."

Hana immediately transmitted the information to Clovis.

…

One week later.

"So the mission is to take down a Tier 5 beast?" Jay frowned. "Is this too easy? I don’t like to underestimate the enemy, but we have taken down several Tier 5, right?"

Clovis shook his head. "Nope. The mission is to hunt three Tier 5 beasts. However, these beasts are quite different, especially because of the location."

"Location?" Jay was confused, thinking it didn’t really matter.

"The location is in the Great Beast Forest. This is a Tier 7 zone that is managed by the military. Not only does this place pose extreme danger, but the Tier 5 enemies we are going to take are nothing but a henchman compared to the Tier 7 overlord," explained Kanaria.

"Hoh?" Erwin grinned. "This is getting exciting."

"You shouldn’t underestimate this place and mission." Kanaria paused for a moment. "Our mission this time is much harder. Even though the academy will be stopping people from coming to us, there is a chance that we will encounter a Tier 6 beast.

"Hence, we have to move carefully. More importantly, we have to find a way to recruit that person."

Melody frowned. "The mission is just a pretense to recruit the doctor?"

"Yes." Kanaria nodded. "If you look at it, we can’t really meet her on the base. After all, Reolf’s secret will be out right away. Hence, we have to fight without Reolf for a while."

"Uu…" Reolf looked down with a weak growl.

"No. I mean, we’ll be fighting together later." Kanaria panicked, trying to cheer up Reolf.

Clovis chuckled and rubbed Reolf’s head while saying, "I’m sorry for involving everyone in this. While I do want to recruit her, it won’t be the priority. Our main priority is for Jay and Kanaria to reach Tier 3 after this trip.

"I’ll be reaching Tier 3 soon, so it’s not going to be a one-week trip," explained Clovis, revealing the true mission. "The beasts in this place have a higher tier as their standard, so it’s easier to find beasts of our level and use their essence to reach the next tier."

"That is true." Kanaria nodded.

"Well, I heard she is crazy. Will she be a good addition to the group?" Ragna asked.

"I don’t know. We leave that to Clovis and don’t talk about it." Melody shrugged.

"True. We just let that crazy doctor focus on him." Erwin nodded.

"I can’t help but agree." Jay crossed his arms.

"Eh?" Clovis’ eyebrows twitched before glancing at Kanaria, seeing her big smile as if telling him the same thing. "…"

Reolf placed his paw on Clovis’ shoulder as if he were saying, ’I’ll help you.’

"You are my only friend here, Reolf."

"But Reolf. That crazy doctor might be trying to dissect you, open your stomach, and cut you into pieces."

"Waf?!" Reolf looked shocked, this time, his face looked hesitant.

"What are you doing? Don’t poison him." Clovis shook his head helplessly. "In any case, I hope that we can get some money. It’s been a while."

"Money? Don’t you get it from Hana?"

"Not yet. The product has just been launched, and the royalty is paid monthly. Even if I can get it right now, it won’t be a lot since most people are still in queue." Clovis shook his head helplessly.

"Is that so? That’s a shame." Erwin crossed his arms.

"For now, Hana should have taken care of everything. We’ll probably meet her when she is going on a mission by herself. And that we’ll ’escort’ her during her mission along the way."

"That sounds suspicious, you know. And the military agrees to this?" Ragna tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes. That sounds like how much they need the new beast souls. The forest itself is one of the highest danger zones in the country. It is experiencing a lot of raids from the beasts, so the soldiers need something new to boost their strength. Besides, this place is no stranger to explorers like us," Kanaria explained.

"And Hana has taken care of another problem, which is the location. We will be hunting in a more secluded area so that no one can see Reolf. I’m planning to let out some rumors gradually, making people gradually accept Reolf was different," Clovis added.

"So what is she like?" Jay asked.

"A psycho, I think? The rumors going around her are that she loves to dissect beasts, she loves to see brutal things, and she loves to do some unusual treatments… Even though they’re effective, it’s just too scary to explain." Kanaria explained.

"Yep. That’s Clovis’ problem." Jay nodded.

"Aren’t you planning to take my seat, Jay?" Clovis chuckled.

"This and that are two different problems."

Suddenly, Clovis’ phone rang. It was Hana who called him, which definitely piqued everyone’s interest.

Clovis accepted the call and listened to what Hana said before closing it again. He pointed to the window while saying, "It seems that our bus has arrived. Let’s check it out."
