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

”Even if this plan works, wouldnʼt the people shift their dependence on the drug back to my food and when I leave they will still end up searching for organic food to fulfil their craving right? Wouldnʼt this just result in some people using White Powder to get them hooked on it again? This seems like a temporary solution to me. And before you ask, I have no interest in settling down here and making this my permanent position, ok?”

He scratched his head, ”I was thinking that perhaps you could show me how you do it and I would replicate it to continue this ʼtreatmentʼ.”

”And profit from it,” Amber added from behind him.

He shrugged, ”I wonʼt lie, I do want to get some benefits from this… How about we have an arrangement if this works? Maybe we can work out some kind of long term deal where I pay you a percentage of my monthly earnings from the food if you can teach me how to make your food?”

I shrugged, ”Letʼs see if this works first, alright? You can go find some people to test this on I suppose… Though should we be the ones going to them or should they be coming to us?”

Amber raised her hand, ”I vote for bringing them here. At least we can subdue them if they turn violent or if this doesnʼt work.”

Lea nodded, ”I agree with that as well. Weʼll be more at risk if we bring this out and he gets other affected peopleʼs attention and they swarm us for it in the event that it does work.”

You girls are treating this people like theyʼre zombies that got infected or something… Then again, I suppose that wasnʼt really too far off the mark considering how they are acting right now…

Tyle rolled up his sleeves, ”Thatʼs great then. Iʼll go ahead and grab someone to bring back here. Shouldnʼt take too long since I already know of a place that one or two of them would gather.”

I raised an eyebrow at him, ”Do you need help with that?”

”I would prefer some help, yes… Consider that an open invitation to help.”

My gaze shifted to the girls and Amber grinned at me, ”I would love to crack some heads in for this~ Count me in!”

”Me as well, Mistress. If you will allow me to go,” Lea volunteered.

Mara shook her head, ”I will remain here with Captain in case something happens.”

”Iʼll stay as well,” Ries added, her tail swishing behind her.

Tyle turned to Amber and Lea, ”Alright! Iʼll be in your care then, ladies! Shall we?”

The three of them left the kitchen with Tyle leading the way.

Iʼm not too worried about them since I believe they can handle themselves well, the only thing Iʼm worried about now is whether my stew would be good enough.

For all I know, the drug might dull their sense of taste and this might taste like nothing to them. Or maybe the ʼtasteʼ they are after is that ʼhappyʼ feeling you get from taking the drug and…

Oh wait… The girls do say that they feel like that when they eat my food… So maybe thereʼs a chance after all?

As though reading my mind, which I know she couldnʼt since she already assured me that she could not, Mara spoke up, ”I believe you have nothing to worry about, Captain.”

”Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mara… But Iʼll believe it after I see it.”

Ries looked at Mara before turning to me and raising her hand quickly, ”I think Bossʼs food is really nice!! Even if… Ermm… No… I think it will definitely work! Boss will not fail!”

Her tail was swishing around and her ears were twitching when she said that so I couldnʼt help myself but give her head pats.

So cute~

Then I noticed Mara staring at me with an expectant look on her face and even positioned herself beside Ries.

”What?” I asked.

”Hmm? What do you mean? Iʼm waiting for my turn~”

…

Yeah, I patted Mara too.
