What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company? Chapter 840: Getting Permission For Doggo

When we gathered for dinner and I recounted the day's events to everyone, Amber was sulking right at me.

"You had a plan like this and didn’t even invite me?" she whined.

I let out a chuckle, "Well... Sadly, you were tied up with other stuff at that moment."

She kept pouting, "At least hold off for me before pulling it off! I wanted to see it!"

Renata’s voice emerged from my chest, "Don’t worry! I recorded the whole thing!"

What?! How? When!?

Actually... You know what? Never mind, I don’t wanna know...

The rest of the girls showed keen interest in that recording, while I tried hard to pretend she hadn’t mentioned it at all.

I chose to shift the conversation instead. Specifically, to what I’d chatted about with Rosalia and Friederike. I hadn’t shared the license part yet since it required a specific permit I wasn’t certain they’d support me pursuing.

Particularly because it meant acquiring a highly dangerous beast... Or so they claimed, anyway.

That’s why I’d been delaying telling them about it.

"Ahem... I also spoke with Rosalia and Friederike..."

Mara faced me, "Oh yeah, you said you might’ve gotten them addicted to your honey, right?"

Amber laughed, "Ahahaha~ That’s ideal, Tera! You’ve got them wrapped around your finger now, huh? You’re brilliant!"

I made a face, "I must admit I didn’t scheme that—it was total coincidence... But yeah... They sampled it and might crave more too..."

Lea nodded, "We’ll jot that down, Mistress. No need to stress."

Having such reliable companions is wonderful~ I can leave the issues to them without a care~

"Anyway, that’s not the main point," I went on, overlooking how Amber was now fondling my crotch upon hearing those two were hooked on the honey. "I aimed to strike a bargain with them over the Verlandi incident, and they’re aiding me in obtaining a cooking license."

Yumiko’s ears twitched up, "Does that mean you’ll join a cooking academy, Mistress?"

I nodded, "They’re sending me to a school the company partners with for their chefs, so I ought to snag one via them. Any of you know the procedure or what such a school entails?"

My girls exchanged glances before shaking their heads at me.

"I dunno... Don’t you just cook or whatever?" Amber shrugged.

Mara propped her elbow, "I figured they simply enter an Archive pod or similar and have the skills downloaded straight into their brains."

Ries looked my way, "Hmm? Why not query someone who’s done it before, Boss?"

Oh right, solid idea. I’ve got two chefs in my contacts I could consult. If I include the dropout, that makes three folks to ask.

To confirm, I pulled up my contacts to ensure I’d added them properly.

Deidre, Merina, and Ragbar’s names popped up clearly on the list.

Yep, all there~

I could even ring up all three to hear their takes.

But that’s for afterward since another matter demands attention now...

I wasn’t sure how to break it to them without sparking alarm, so... I opted to just blurt it out straight.

"The next request I made... Was for a Bio-Weapon license..."

My girls appeared unfazed at first, some sporting puzzled expressions as if questioning why I’d seek such a thing.

Then, realization dawned on them like a sudden spark, with several grasping the implication instantly.

Ries reacted first, "Boss?! You serious?! Wait... You’re actually going through with it?! Please think again, Boss!!"

Amber chimed in too, "Exactly, Tera!! Are you absolutely certain?! We’ve got other beasts for the ship, you know? It doesn’t have to be that!!"

Mara unexpectedly sided with her, "I urge you to rethink this too, Captain... We don’t truly require one, right?"

I rubbed my head, "Well... Would it sway you if I said I really, really want one? Pretty please?"

The girls flinched back as if struck physically.

Amber bounced back quickest, clutching my arm against her chest, "Tera!! No need for something that risky! Aren’t we sufficient?!"

"This is separate from that..." I replied, aiming for maximum tact. "Having one of those is distinct from having you all."

Yumiko pressed against the table, "I’m pretty much like them, right, Mistress? Actually, superior since you can fuck me! Yeah?"

I rubbed my cheek, "Well... It’s different ’cause I don’t view you as a beast, Yumiko... You’re my lover, a person with animal traits... And that’s what makes you so alluring~"

I was just voicing my true thoughts without considering the impact, but the dog girl flushed crimson and covered her face, her tail thrashing wildly.

So adorable~

Amber squeezed my arm harder, "So... So.... Um... Well... The license is one matter... But acquiring a d... A dog... That’s another, okay?"

Mara agreed with a nod, "They’re not simple to obtain... Treated as regulated arms unavailable on open markets... Only vetted, connected folks can tap that trade..."

"Oh. Then, might your cousin assist?" I inquired.

Mara clamped her mouth shut, and it hit me I’d likely pinpointed the ideal contact for snagging a dog post-license.

Nice.

I cleared my throat, "Girls, no worries, alright? Should I get one, I’ll care for it properly. You won’t have to approach it at all."

Lea eyed me, "Mistress... It’s akin to sharing a ship with a beast that could tear out your throat on a whim, restrained only by its mood..."

"Oh come on... You’ve witnessed their cuteness, haven’t you? So fluffy!"

Amber rose and mashed her breasts into my face, "Fluff these instead, Tera!! Way superior, right?"

I grabbed her breasts, squeezing them as I murmured into the cleavage, "These feel great but... Seriously... Imagine the fun with a dog aboard?"

Like... Picture it! Fetch games, cuddles, pets...

The girls glanced around once more, and I sensed I was winning them over!

See? They can’t resist a fluffy doggo’s charm!

Amber pulled away, "Hmm... Maybe... If we consider it..."

Yumiko nodded too, "Mistress proved she handles them masterfully..."

Ries shivered, "Exactly due to their terror... Our combat strength surges... We’d tackle foes in power armor..."

Mara tapped her cheek pensively, "Plus, we could blame Psionic kills on the dogs... Better cover for us..."

Lea laced her fingers, "Above all... She could stroll risky zones with the dog as guard and stay secure..."

Renata nursed at my nipple beneath my outfit, "Slurp~ Ehehehe~ Daddy~"

Uh... My vision was way off from their current whispers...

Not surprisingly, only Renata stayed unperturbed, far more fixated on my chest now.

All the girls faced me simultaneously.

"I suppose... After discussing it... It’d definitely benefit us to get one..." Amber conceded, still pressing my face to her breasts.

Lea nodded, "But we couldn’t approach it, Mistress, so..."

I lifted my hand, "Relax! I’ll manage it! Just watch from afar like the turtle~"

Yes! The girls have greenlit my dog acquisition!!
