What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 57: A Job From The Information Broker

Even though I said to be productive, itʼs not like we have anything planned for today anyway…

Well… Aside from Mara who has to go and run her clinic I suppose, but Amber and I had nothing to do today.

Or rather, we had nothing planned for today at least.

Mara obviously noticed since she was already dressed and ready to leave for her own work while Amber and I were simply watching her get dressed.

Hey, she also had a nice ass, it would be criminal not to watch that right?

”Donʼt you two have anything to do today?” She asked.

Amber waved at her, ”Not at all. Unless you count me flirting with my lovely girlfriend as something that is.”

Mara ignored her and looked in my direction.

I shrugged, ”We donʼt have any jobs for today if thatʼs what youʼre asking. We recently just finished one with a big payout so we were taking a break.”

”Hmm… Well are you done taking a break yet? By how you chased us out of bed, I thought you might be in a rush to get somewhere.”

”Meh… I just donʼt like lazing around in bed,” I half lied, not wanting to tell her that it was a habit I got from my other life where I had to always be up to deal with sales problems almost all the time.

She then placed a finger on her chin, ”Hmm… If you are up for it… I do have a hustle for you if you want to accept it.”

Amber gave her a pointed look, ”You? Who did you piss off this time?”

Mara rolled her eyes at her, ”Not from me directly, someone else that I know of.”

Amber then leaned over to me, ”Thatʼs another way of her saying that she heard this from somewhere or someone else. Probably eavesdropped or something.”

The doctor huffed, ”Yes, yes. Iʼm an information broker if you forgot and Iʼm giving you this information for free unless you want to pay for it?”

”Ha! Free she says! After how she enjoyed an entire night of food and sex here!”

”This is not repayment for last night, mind you. Iʼm giving this information to you just because itʼs you so do you want it or not?”

”Geez, how good is that information then?”

Mara ignored her and instead focused on me.

Ah… Err…

I cleared my throat, ”Umm… Yes please.”

She smiled at me, ”Perfect. Well letʼs just say that if you were to walk down Bolter Street and turn down to Hujal Lane, you might come across someone who looks very distraught. Maybe you might even hear him mumbling about a lost shipment of goods that he wants recovered and the shipment just so happens to belong to a group of rather… Shall we say… Intimidating individuals?”

Amber immediately understood, ”Right. So this guy canʼt post a job in the guildʼs job board because those ʼintimidating individualsʼ might find out about it and come after him. But he canʼt just leave it as those same guys would also come after him as well.”

Mara shrugged, ”Iʼm just saying that itʼs a possibility and you most definitely did not hear this from me.”

I raised an eyebrow, ”And how long has he been there?”

She grinned, ”Oh, he isnʼt there yet. But he will very soon be there.”

What the heck? How does that even work? Did she really predict that the guy would be royally pissed even before the guy got pissed? How?!

Amber waved at her, clearly not seeing the weirdness that I already have, ”Yeah, yeah. We got it. Now go run along to your little clinic.”

”Tera, if Amber ever bullies you, let me know. Iʼll come here and give her a good spanking.”

”Hey!! I love her more than you, ok?!”

Mara didnʼt even respond and simply turned and left the ship, only giving us a simple backwards wave before she disappeared.

Amber then turned to me, ”So… I know she said all that but we donʼt exactly have to do what she said, you know?”

I nodded, ”I know, but I think itʼs a good opportunity for us since itʼs not like we have anything to do for the foreseeable future anyway.”

”Alright then. I suppose we should get dressed and then head out?”

I got out of bed and walked towards the shower, ”Iʼm going to take a shower first… Want to join me?”

She leapt onto her feet, ”Oh~ Donʼt mind if I do!”

I think we went two more rounds inside there before we finally got dressed and left the ship.

Hey, things like this happen, ok?

I looked up at the street sign that showed Hujal Lane being on my right.

”Looks like weʼve reached the place,” I commented, turning down the street while looking for our guy with Amber following beside me.

It wasnʼt that hard to find him since there was a haggard looking man cursing and swearing up a storm just after that turn.

”Those damn… Cunts! I… I knew I should not have… Arrghh!! What do I do?!” He grunted, kicking the wall with his foot.

Amber looked at me and I gestured for her to go ahead.

She approached the guy with a casual air, ”What did the wall do to you to get so much hate, my guy?”

The man turned around and looked like he was about to cuss her as well but he managed to rein in his anger to regard us.

”Whatʼs it to you?”

Amber shrugged, ”Just curious. Itʼs not everyday I walk down the street and see some random dude that isnʼt drunk or high on drugs attack a wall for no reason.”

”No reason?! I have a fucking good… Ugh… Sorry, not your fault… But just… Just something happened ok? And Iʼm fucked.”

”What? Is someone going to kill you? For the right price, we could be your bodyguards.”

The manʼs eyes widened, ”Bodyguards? Wait… Are you two Mercs?”

Amber thumped her chest, ”Of course we are! Gold ranked myself! So wanna hire us?”

The manʼs eyes darted between Amber and I for a moment before leaning forward slightly, ”Do you have a ship?”

Amber grinned, ”Heck, we have two ships! So what do you need?”

He looked around before gesturing for us to follow him, entering the building he had just been kicking the wall off.

He took the stairs up until the second floor before turning to a door with a number on it, opening it with a keycard that made the door slide open.

Inside was a mess with clothes, papers and other stuff littered all around the place as though a tornado had just happened in this room.

”I would invite you to take a seat but… I got a little upset when I heard some news which was why this room is in this state. So shall we get to business then?”

Both Amber and I nodded.

He picked up his personal terminal and tapped on it to display a holographic projection of a transport ship.

”This is a ship containing some rather important stuff on board. But as of an hour ago, that ship has gone missing and I need it to be found before the people I work for know that the ship has gone missing.”

Amber raised an eyebrow, ”So you want us to find it?”

He nodded, ”Yes. And I need this to be done quietly and as fast as possible, I will not be able to distract them from this for too long.”

”Ok… Do you have the location of where the ship was last seen?”

”Yes, Iʼll send it to your terminal now.”

Amberʼs personal terminal beeped and a map popped up to show a red dot at least half a dayʼs travel using travel speed to get there.

”Right here,” He gestured. ”Thatʼs where I was last able to get its ping before it disappeared.”

I frowned, ”Do we know what happened? Pirates perhaps?”

The man shook his head, ”Iʼm not too sure about the fate of the ship itself but I would also say that it is quite possible that those guys are the reason why the ship went missing.”

”And if the ship was destroyed when we get there?”

”Ugh… In that case… I would need to trouble you to search through the debris to find a black box that should contain what I need. Is that fine?”

Both Amber and I nodded.

”And how much is the reward for a job like this?”

The man lifted a hand with five fingers splayed out, ”Five hundred thousand Credits.”

Amber scoffed, ”Yeah right, you might as well just toss it to the guild for that price. We owe y--”

”Alright, one million?”

”Hmm… I wonder how much more I could get if I were to find your employers and ask them dire--”

”Fine, fine! Two million!”

”Each?”

”Wait you canʼt just--”

Amber leaned forward, ”What?”

”Ugh… Fine… Two million Credits per person…”

Oh wow, as expected of Amber I suppose?
