AGUS
Trouble Carrier

As smart as Agus is, there are still some people who look at him one eye, he is just a child who relies on connections, so they think. Some argue that he is fair in hiring others unlike previous bosses who blackmailed them into working like animals. Agus who listened to her, ignored her just like that because it was still natural for anyone to be jealous of her, but he only kept quiet for a while to see if their innuendo was not excessive. Hilma who was furious wanted to punish the man, Agus forbade him for not being good before everything became clear.

"He talks too much about you?!"

"Wild, we better focus on shipping the goods."

Agus spoke politely to the people who worked in the warehouse and the factory, he still did not humble himself despite being so polite on the grounds of respecting the older ones. The burly man replied nonchalantly. Agus looked at him for a long time, he was sure that it was the person who made others look at him negatively. Goods were sent more often to neighboring Kingdoms and less to villages not far from the Kingdom. Hilma explained everything Agus asked. Within a week the condition can be stable, the price of goods sold gets a commensurate income. Jarvis is satisfied with all that Agus did, an honest child and has no intention of corruption in the slightest.

From all the records of goods and forms, Agus learned a lot that instead of the recovery herbs that are often sold, there are many spices that can be sold at high prices. There are several large restaurants in town, ordering condiments from them is quite a lot. Hilma explained that nobles often go to restaurants, they like new dishes and items. Shipping reports do not always go according to plan, there are unexpected things like bandits and monster attacks while on the way. 'The 'Guild Mercenaries' had people working to exterminate monsters and also escort the sent goods.

"The cost to hire them is 1 Gold per person?"

"It depends on the rank as well" said Hilma.

There was no bargaining in the Mercenary rules, they often asked for payment up front. Agus can only follow the rules, and something that promises he really likes because their income can be greater than Agus' work. Hilma was asked to tell in more detail, unfortunately to become a Mercenary, Agus had to be 15 years old as the minimum age to register. He had to survive up to 5 years to be able to explore, according to him now he only needs to raise capital to find out in the future about Lulu Aite. On the way home Agus always chose to walk alone, not to be escorted. Agus just does not want to be the center of attention even though many people already know him.

"You're home on time, dinner's ready" Miranda said.

"Thank you, Mom. I made you bother again."

"No fuss, it's the duty of a mother to cook for her child."

"Where are Mom, Dad and Tiara going?"

"They bought snacks outside, told him there was a suitable snack that was another hit lately."

"Jajan, what snack?"

"Mmm, some kind of pastry, I don't really know either."

Jack asked Agus. "What about your job?"

“Everything is fine, it's just that there is an obstacle sometimes there is a failure of delivery.”

Agus hopes his value at work does not go down. Agus asked about the Mercenary to Jack who directly touched his own chin while thinking. Agus has the intention to become a Mercenary, he desperately needs experience for his maturity later. Jack strongly disagreed, even if Agus could earn more, it was better to keep working with Guild Trade. In the morning, the white-haired man, Jarvis Len Keller, was looking for Agus because there was something he wanted to talk about, about the delivery of goods that always got into trouble. He did not blame the performance of Agus, only the situation became difficult since Agus accepted the job, Jarvis guessed it was not just a repetition of the Bandits.

Jarvis immediately refused when Agus planned to take delivery. Jarvis did not want to suffer more losses, he would hire a Mercenary who had a high value. Agus sighed reluctantly, he was quite self-conscious that he was just a child who had thoughts that were considered as assets. Jarvis Len Keller will solve the problems that occur in his own style, he has money that can always be used in many ways because money can rule the world. Agus confidently immediately gave a breakthrough if the plan was not successful, he would join the delivery of goods. Jarvis thought long enough, he knew things wouldn't be easy, he didn't want to make a deal.

During the week of delivery nothing bad happened, Agus felt calm because the people of Jarvis' choice could handle it. Hilma sends an envelope containing a message from Jarvis. The news said that everything was planned by someone who did not like Agus, unfortunately that was all he could find from the Head Bandit. Agus thought while checking the report, he was also busy checking the items in the warehouse. Agus is not suspicious of the workers, he believes the workers will not be too careless to make things difficult for themselves.

"Boss, it's time for you to rest." Hilma.

"Tell the others it's lunch time." Agus likes to be called the boss, he has realized what he wants during his life on Earth.

An uninvited guest came, he was a fat man, his face really showed that this man was very evil. The man wanted Agus to collaborate for something that could be mutually beneficial, buy goods at low prices, and so on. Agus will make a profit. Hilma retreated out of fear, Agus saw something was wrong, when Agus talked to Hilma about the stranger, Agus put up a face of disapproval because the man used to be detrimental.

"I don't want to be part of your ridiculous plan, Sir."

"You kid, you should know how much profit you're getting."

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested and don't need it."

The fat and bald man was annoyed at not expecting to be rejected by a boy who should have been more greedy than the person before. The man left with a rough step, he almost fell down the stairs. Hilma chuckled and closed her mouth. Agus who did not stay silent asked Hilma to tell Jarvis Len Keller about this. Hilma questioned the seriousness of Agus which she immediately answered with great confidence.

"I let the man go, but now I won't let him go anymore" Jarvis said.

"..." - ".Hilma only saw, she did not dare to ask Jarvis Len Keller about what plan to do.
