#7 Their circumstance: A certain team leader’s circumstance

Ba-dump, ba-dump!

Just like always… I’m looking forward to my payday.

I rushed all the way back to the border region to get this secret stash of my salary. How can I not look forward to it when I risked my life to get this!

With a buoyant mood, I opened the pouch, and then…

“Hiiing…”

…And then, met with a bitter disappointment.

“I need to get a job this month, too…?”

Sniffle…

My reduced salary isn’t going back up at all. And it seemed that this month would be yet another tough one to get by.

“This is all Ria’s fault…”

To think that girl would abandon her precious team leader and run away! The reduced salary from that incident and the extreme changes in the demon continent combined as one-two punches to give this poor me a hard time with the lack of funds.

“Sniffle! Should I go ask a nearby fried chicken place if they have a job for me…?”

In the past, I could’ve earned some money by hunting down rampaging monsters in the countryside… But nowadays, monsters were on the brink of extinction and even that money-making avenue has dried up.

“Instructor, you meanie…”

This was all because of the demon king, Marx… No, because of my instructor!

While building this thing called the highway, my instructor, uh, instructed the demons to subjugate all the monsters that could potentially damage the newly-built roads.

Ordinary demon race folks were happy about that, saying things have become safer for them, but people like me who earned a living through mercenary work? We ended up jobless almost overnight.

The demon continent’s monsters were far more vicious than their counterparts in the human continent, and they also fetched quite a high sum, so the monster subjugation work was a popular job among the mercenaries, you know!

But now, all the former mercs were either running fried chicken shops, frying chickens or taking up part-time jobs of delivering said fried chickens.

“Hiiing… Those jobs are all difficult, though…”

I would be among the very first to meet the freshly-fried chickens, but I can’t even touch them?! Would there be anything crueller than that in this world?!

“Ah, I wanna eat more fried chicken…”

Yes, the fried chicken tastes so good.

One of the main reasons for my constant lack of funds was that I’ve been buying lots of fried chicken lately.

If the fried chicken only had one flavour, I’d probably have grown tired of eating it, but… Thanks to far-too talented Minister of Chicken Department Lady Alice, new sauces were constantly being introduced on the market, and I… I just can’t get enough of them!
