Shukadi was only a wizard and not particularly keen-eyed enough to distinguish the difference between a swordsman and a commoner.
However, since the majority of the comrades he spent time with were swordsmen, he had heard and seen a lot.
“Why hide being a swordsman in front of the doctor? If you join the Crople Mercenary Group and become a companion, protecting wizards like me, then .”
“I refuse.”
“…What?”
“I have no intention of becoming a mercenary.”
Shukadi was taken aback when Ren flatly refused.
To reject mercenaries, who were considered an extreme occupation, after supporting them and having better pay and treatment than porters was unexpected. Shukadi couldn’t comprehend it.
“I can lend you magical tools and the pay is better than being a porter.”
Ren lifted his head as if to indicate he had no intention of reversing his decision.
Shukadi rolled his eyes in various directions. A constitution where magic doesn’t work was helpful not only in research but also in the development of offensive spells. Hence, Ren’s cooperation was essential.
“Are you afraid your life might be in danger, so you’re running away?”
Ren let out a deep sigh.
“I can’t leave my master alone.”
“…?”
“I have no intention of leaving her side.”
“…Ah, yes…”
It was a stubborn attitude that persuasion couldn’t affect.
However, having rolled around in the Crople Mercenary Group and dealt with a pouring-in lover, Shukadi had learned the know-how early on when facing a stubborn person.
“Still, magical tools could be useful for you.”
“This face is enough to conceal as it is.”
“Then the doctor and the assistant won’t be able to see each other’s faces either.”
“…?”
Ren, whose words were cut off, narrowed his eyes.
“Even lovers use magical tools. Although they can’t transform the face itself, they can disrupt people’s facial recognition.”
“…And lovers use that?”
“Whether their status is different or they want to share love away from the eyes of the world, there are lovers who want to do that.”
In reality, the magical tools were worn as a set by mercenaries for stealth, but the reasons for using them were the same.
“Above all, if lovers share and wear these magical tools, they can see each other’s real faces.”
“…!”
Finally, Ren showed a refreshing reaction.
“Even if the constitution doesn’t allow magic, those magical tools don’t directly cast magic on the wearer, and touching them doesn’t nullify the magic.”
Shukadi drove the final nail.
“The form of the magical tools is a pair of rings.”
Ren’s Adam’s apple moved noticeably up and down.
Shukadi waited for Ren’s mouth to open with a confident face.
“I cannot be a mercenary.”
“What?”
Ren bit his lips with a face full of frustration, his eyes narrowing.
Beyond disappointment, it was a face that seemed to be breaking down.
“I cannot reveal my identity.”
Since Ren had amnesia, he couldn’t reveal his identity because he didn’t know it.
Instead of confessing that he suffered from amnesia, Ren simply excused himself to Shukadi, saying that escaping from a master wasn’t possible.
This time, Shukadi let out a sigh, dropping his shoulders with a loss of enthusiasm.
If mercenary registration itself was an obstacle, there was no way around it.
“…”
The two fell into silence.
In the midst of it, the one with greater disappointment was the first to speak.
“…If my constitution is considered valuable for research in proposing to be a mercenary, then couldn’t I be a personal experimental subject for your research until my master leaves this village?”
“Ex… Experimental subject?”
“Surely, there won’t be inhumane experiments on a living being like me.”
“Of course!”
Shukadi’s eyes sparkled.
It was an opportunity for research that wouldn’t be given even in the Magic Tower.
“And I have something I want to ask.”
After hesitating for a moment, Ren stared at Shukadi with determined eyes.
“Are there magical tools that can help recover forgotten memories?”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
