"Well —— what's today's request... hmm? That's a lot."

I was looking at a bulletin board with C-rank requests affixed to it by the same procedure as getting the usual requests, maybe 1.5 times the usual. I felt there were more requests for other ranks than usual.

Well, I'm searching for a request, not even mindful that there will be such a day.

Then,

"Ah, it's been a while, Master Yuki! And Master Aleria!

The usual receptionist saw us.

I've certainly not been here for a long time, so seeing a familiar face calms me down a little too.

"Long time no see. What's more Yuki than that?

"Dear Leggles —— No, as soon as His Majesty solved the misunderstanding about Master Yuki, he said, 'Who is Yuki that is recognized by Master Leggles?' The fact that the demonic exorcism actors were Yuki spread, and at some point, the people of the Wang capital started calling themselves Yuki!

That's a good place to flatten your hands...

Well, there's no reason to believe it as it is if it's announced by an authoritative source.

Somehow, it itches to be called.

"Did Aleria spread any rumors, even though she called me?

"There are rumors that you are not a goddess serving Master Yuki! It's so beautiful, you're all convinced."

"Is there such a rumor..."

"Um, so what about the truth?

"Hmm?"

"Um, whether or not Allelia is a goddess..."

You believed me, too!

When I'm stunned and silent,

"Oh, there are some things you can't talk about! I understand now!

"No, you don't understand. You..."

"I'm not a goddess...? It's not that big of a deal."

No, no, no. If I were to be the Empire Empress, it would be something big...

"That's unfortunate...... but it's not! Conversely, you'll be friendly and more likeable!

Oh, it won't be intimate. It's the Empress, Empress.

—— Well, I don't know, so I can't help it. Talking is a lot of trouble, and for now, let's go with Danmari.

"I feel the number of requests is higher than usual than that, is it because of you?

"Uh, demons are getting a little active lately, aren't they?"

"Do you know what caused this?

"No, I'm not sure, but I'm afraid the number of demons often fluctuates depending on the time of year."

"Is that what it is"

I've only been here about a month.

You should be more familiar with common sense in this world and this receptionist who is an Alliance employee when it comes to data.

Then you must be able to analyze it more objectively than I am.

"I was fortunate to have Youki come because the request is indigestible! It's going to increase from next to next, so it's okay for you to take it all!

"Even I can't do it all..."

I guess you're mistaken for me for a meta-human or something.

"That's right. No matter how many yuki you have, you can't do it all! Better keep it down to about 50, right?

"Right. It's not good to pack too many roots."

"No, because that's still enough! I mean, I joked about it!?

It seemed to surprise me to really take the joke.

I chose a request that could be done as close as possible and decided to leave immediately.

You'll be able to finish all your requests after noon.

I headed towards the gates of the king's capital.

"--Hmm? Is that a wildcat?

I found every moving shadow in a garbage dump built in an alley.

When I get close and check, it's bigger than I thought. It's not a cat.

He seemed like a person and had a slightly different trait than a normal person.

"Is it subhuman..."

Clothes, hair and body are dirty, but the identity was a subhuman girl.

Age is as good as Aleria's.

Long silver hair, beautiful blue eyes. My chest is pretty big and I have a good fight with Aleria.

The most distinctive are the pins and pointed long ears.

The more you clean it up properly, you'll be an amazing beautiful girl.

Such a girl is tied with a collar, handcuffed and carrying a heavy weight.

Look at us, we're rattling and shivering.

"It's an elf. And you're being treated badly..."

"I heard the kingdom was clandestinely buying and selling subhumans, but did it escape?"

"No, the slaver must have thrown it away. Severe penalties were set for subhuman trafficking after the kingdom became a new system. I guess I thought about losing some money before they caught me."

In the first place, treaties with neighbouring countries prohibit discrimination against subnationals.

In other countries, there is no discrimination against subnationals.

Only the old kingdom practically allowed subpeople to be discriminated against, and no punishment existed for slave traders.

It should be noted that trafficking in human beings other than subnationals is originally prohibited, and there are penalties.

Well, in the old kingdom the king himself is enough to break, so the operational reality may have been rather loose.

I saw it as a problem and issued a statement setting up severe penalties as well as freeing the slaves. —— via Leggles.

Instead of pleading guilty to past sins, I instructed you to let your life have enough cash to free you, but some slavers didn't seem to protect you.

"This is also my responsibility. The way it was done was sweet. —— I'll do the request I get later, but I want to protect this kid a little before I do. Alelia, will you forgive me?

"I thought Yuki would say that. I'm worried too. This is our priority."

"I'm sorry. Thank you, Aleria."

I broke all the elf girl chains with my bare hands.

"Can you stand? Eat something like that and I'll break your stomach. I'll feed you something delicious. Follow me."

In the eyes of the girl who was chattering and trembling and had dead eyes, the light dwells.

The elf girl grabbed my hand.
