Gai watched and listened very carefully, trying to figure out whom Gulveig had managed to lure into this squad. A taciturn, plump assassin. A blue-haired girl who looks like killing a dog is already a challenge for her – what will happen when she has to deal with bipedal prey? A dark-skinned girl in a maid's outfit, under which there might be a dozen poisoned daggers, with bruised knuckles and gnarled, strong muscles on her bare arms. Another handsome, muscular guy, who doesn't seem quite right. An intelligent-looking old man with a pistol tucked into his belt. An unlucky ladies' man with an axe and tattoos – are you an idiot, thinking that this blond muscleman is with Gulveig for looks? A gloomy guy with a psychopath's smile and a killer's eyes, and his bony companion. Well, Gai couldn't remember who he had worked with before, but he felt that the squad was quite average, and it would be possible to work with them. Except for the blue-haired girl, of course.
And none of the local lunatics signed up, which is already a good thing. Either Gulveig is doing a good job and has weeded out all sorts of riffraff, or Gai is just very lucky that these guys showed up. Judging by the introductory speech and the blue-haired girl, who doesn't seem to know what she's doing here, it's the second option, unfortunately.

But it's still better than it could have been. It worked out well – it's as if they're all acquaintances now, and as if everything was done in a commanding manner. Gulveig sometimes says completely nonsensical things, but as long as she speaks with enough confidence, you can spout any nonsense. It's just that not every mercenary's head is capable of understanding her convoluted speeches yet... Well, hopefully, we'll manage.
But something was bothering Gai. He had almost reached the dormitory and began to think that it was all a delusion and a result of memory loss, and then he remembered – Gulveig worships Arteria. A religious commander is a disaster for the squad...

Gai starts the new week with a trip to the "Colossus," which is almost like a second home to him now.
