Paperwork in the Guild's office,

"Mr. Loran, how are you, concubine?

"Yes, I'm fine."

I haven't seen him since then.

We met once on the island after Lyla's collar broke. At that time, I asked about Lyla's magic, but Milia said she felt nothing about it.

If the search ends empty-handedly, and Wawerk is not found or dead, Lyla will remain so.

If the other humans can't sense that Lyla's magic belongs to the Demon King, there's nothing wrong with it as it is now - but when the demon world finds out about it, they pick her up.

……

When that happens, I...

"Miriam, can I have a minute...?

"Ah, ha."

Miriam, called by a female official, replied and took a seat, heading towards the counter.

"I'm not listening, this way!

It was as loud as it sounded in the office.

"It's a D-rank quest, huh? Damn, I'm only getting ready for that, and suddenly, that... My buddy managed with the healing pills, but I was hoping it wasn't enough..."

He was an adventurer who came this morning. I had three other people in the morning, but now I'm alone.

"Hey, you!

"Yes, no..."

Miriam seems to have mediated, shrugging her shoulders and shrinking.

"A or more demons came out. What are you doing to me?

"Yeah. I don't know... But it's a D-rank quest...? Enough, we've explained the dangers…"

An official who called Miriam to the counter is looking sorry for her. I asked her.

"Miriam, what's wrong?

"It's not who's fault or anything...... it looks like the irregular has occurred on the quest that that kid brokered. So the three people at the party got hurt so badly... I don't know what kind of explanation Miriam gave me and brokered the quest either... so I got it changed..."

Pekopeko, and Miriam are bowing their heads, but the anger of the adventurer doesn't subside.

"I'm gonna get you compensated for being out of hand!

"So, but..."

"What are you talking about? Get the one upstairs!

"Ha. Yes...... Please wait..."

Miriam, who was about to cry, turned her back on the counter and headed to the branch manager's office.

"Um."

Seeing that quest vote, I spoke to the adventurer.

"What the fuck?"

"D-Rank Quest. We're getting rid of the beehive, and your people are injured."

"Oh!"

Looking at the recipients' fields on the quest ballot, not all of the parties were duly ranked D.

The leader and I thought this guy was C-ranked, the others had one D, and then there were two E.

On the note behind the quest vote, 'Two people out of the proper rank. Hazard Explained' in Miriam's Round Letter.

"After explaining the dangers of the quest, the proper rank, you still get hurt - isn't that a common story?

"What, Temehe!

Adventurers become dumb voices.

The worried staff threw words like "Leave it to the Branch Manager" or "Don't oil the fire," but I didn't mind.

"He says he deserves it."

"... you, come here for a second"

An adventurer who opens his pupils and builds blue muscles.

When I got up and went to the counter where Miriam was, he looked at me with one arm and seemed to flinch for just a moment.

"I think you're unlucky what happened to Irregular, but think of it as a self-loving tuition. So there are about a dozen adventurers who lose their lives."

"We're not complacent! You're kidding me, Temehe!

"... So why did you want to take low-ranking adventurers to crusade demons? Half of the parties are out of the proper rank if both of them are E-ranks. Pretty dangerous. With that in mind, you took on the quest, didn't you?

Stuck in words once, but spit and spoke mightily.

"So - so ah! You're telling me it's because of the irregular! I wish it were my original quest."

"Right. If you're an irregular, no one's bad. Bad luck, if you insist."

"Huh..."

A man swallowed something he tried to say.

"Because the irregular is unpredictable"

"But..."

"Still, please note that the four of you are happy to be back without losing your life. It happens a lot, doesn't it, Irregular?

Ha, and I sighed like I admitted to losing, and I sat in the chair.

"Right...... I'm sorry. I hit eight...... Tell that woman's staff."

"That's right, go ahead"

I was aware that Miriam, who was returning, was behind me with the branch manager.

"I'm sorry. Clerk, let me take the trouble..."

"Yes, no. I could have done more, too."

"It's my job to take risks... but when I get used to it, I forget to follow you there. Like this one-armed guy says, I'll think of it as tuition.... Instead, maybe we got lucky."

With his head down small, the adventurer took his seat and left the guild.

A relieved air of relief flowed into the office.

"I was thinking about how to pull you back."

Iris Branch Manager laughed mischievously.

"Thank you, Mr. Loran!

"No. - Branch manager, excuse me, let's go."

"It's okay. Even if you explain the same thing, it sounds completely different than what you say."

Maybe that's because of this look.

If so, it could have been a ship's arm.
