The next day.

Nin and the others headed out to help prepare for Christmas.

I thought we'd help, but it's a church event for once. Apparently, it's better not to have an outside person involved.

We were on our way to the guild.

Marius says he wants to take another stroll around the city alone.

Per guild, go find a request.... Was it Shun? There was a line of adventurers at her reception. Sometimes, right? Someone trying to get a reception under a popular official.

He said it was to talk about his martial arts tradition and interest the person. Lilia and Lily seem to have had that experience a long time ago.

And next to it sits an official who was making a small fool of Shun.

He looks very dissatisfied. Something like that, her line was empty.

When I was looking for a favor, the adventurers next door were talking to me.

"Anything, I hear it was Nosia's fault for the massive outbreak of Aroi Tortoise last time. He was personally asking adventurers to crusade Suey."

"... Apparently. The Alliance Commander scolded me. So that's the face."

... Is Nosia the one with the infidel rotten face over there?

You're the one who told Shun a lot, but you really think she was the killer.

"... I'm disappointed. That guy used to be a sweeter guy. You did something to fool the newbie."

"Yes, yes. I hear some of the other guild employees were glue, too, huh? It seems that Nosia was the one who did it mainly"

...... does that mean there are no people at all at Nosia's?

I hear the guild staff also maintain the motivation of adventurers. Sure, if you smile at the beautiful reception and say, "Come on in, be careful," you'll also feel somewhat better.

I don't think I should be delusional in my brain to make it up to you, but it's still something different for me to tell you. I want to see Manichia.

We're only here to take requests, so we're heading to the Nosian line. There were a few adventurers like that, but it was our turn at all faster than lining up for Shun.

"Welcome. How can I help you?"

"I'm here to take your request"

When I give a request to Nosia, she looks grumpy.

"... you're the adventurer who crusaded Aoi Tortoise in large numbers, aren't you?"

"Oh, yeah, but"

"Damn, I'm sick and tired of all the guys who work hard for Shun."

"... you can't help being jealous of me like that"

"... Alliance employees can only do this until they're about 25 years old, more or less. You know how old I am soon?"

There is a guy who said women want to be seen younger.

Should I activate that here as well? Or should I predict an age that is fluidly honest?

"About 23?"

"25"

... was older than I thought.

You look younger than me, too.

Should I speak respectfully now......

No, not now.

"... I see. How can you only do it up to 25?"

I have heard that the outer skin deteriorates gradually due to age.

That brings out people retiring from adventurers, but that won't matter to guild officials.

"Being an Alliance employee is a lot of money, be a man, be a woman."

"Isn't that prejudicial?"

"Well, I'm talking about 80% of it. Alliance employees often marry famous adventurers."

"... I see"

Mostly, I see the story.

"I mean, you were after it, but younger, more popular officials came in."

"Will you stop saying that? Uzanjo."

"You're the one who's been talking about what you can predict."

He hated Shun furiously because he was popular among adventurers.

You mean you ran an operation that disparaged her and tried to prevent her from having a place in the guild?

"You came back to me as a result."

"... Hmm. Scattered, jerk off, that guild leader."

"You're a good guild leader who scolds guys like you properly."

That's all I said, and I got a request from her.

"Ask me a question if you have anything to ask me in this demon."

"I'm fine. I've fought a couple of times."

Request received is rank B.

Even so, this time it won't be a problem because this one is a demon that wouldn't have attacked me if it hadn't been set up.

I plan to get Luna to work with me and deal with it in one blow with her skills.

Now the hell with it.

Nosia seemed so grumpy that I only told her one word.

"Honestly, why don't we just deal with it?"

"Huh? I have this personality? What's so good about a woman like this? Poor guy who doesn't even have enough money from the orphanage?"

"I can talk casually. That's a trap. At least that's not what I hate."

I wouldn't even have to fix it.

If there's one person who truly understands her, why don't we just get along with that person?

That's what it would be, dating people.

Nosia kept her eyes open as surprised.

A few adventurers were also gathering in the line of Nosia. Exactly, it doesn't look like those adventurers who just line up in Schun's line.

I'll leave the guild while I check the requisition.

There would have been a part of me that looked a little like Nin, so I took care of him.

Just a little bit, but you just have to turn her life towards the better.

"Master, what is the demon of this request?"

"Oh, it's a demon transforming into a tree."

I will pass on my knowledge to Luna, who is intrigued and snorts at my words like a child.

She is also, surely, growing up as an adventurer.

I don't know, this feeling. Does it feel like a parent raising a child?

... Yes, no, I'm not my parents' age yet.

Crusade the demons and return to the Alliance.

... Sometimes I was away this time, and it only took a little while.

It was completely dark outside, and the adventurers were dwindling a lot.

There is no sign of Shun at the reception.

With that in mind, adventurers lined up at reception are sparse.

Can't it be like in the morning?

After a while, he gave Nosia the material that was a testament to the fulfillment of the request.

"You're quite an adventurer."

"Not quite."

I'm just a good hunter.

As we finished the reception and tried to get back to church, two adventurers approached us.

"Come on. You've never seen it. You're an adventurer."

"Something seems a lot better feathering. Coincidence or whatever, if we can hunt B-rank demons, then yeah."

Bad gala men that have been easily intertwined.

I've been looking at this one like I made a fool of myself somewhere.

"It's no coincidence. I've been crusading."

"You're a liar. I was just asking, isn't that a demon living in a mountain that takes three days on foot from here? Were you watching me this morning? It's not a place where you can come home in a day. You bought the materials in advance anyway, didn't you? You're here sometimes. The one who uses the power of gold to give you rank."

"Kake, look, I'll throw you a party together next time, so why don't we go have a drink together today?"

……

I've never been so tangled up before.

Wouldn't there be Lilia on the guild staff? With that guy, he's going to fix it lightly - but he's not.

Luna's going to be pissed off if she stays like this too long.

With that in mind, an adventurer who was nearby grabbed by the bad galas.

"Don't you guys know about yesterday?!?"

"Yesterday? We were just in town."

"Oh man, those guys are adventurers who've been hunting Aroi Tortoise all over!?"

"Ha ha, you're not stupid! You can't hunt all by yourself!"

"Speaking of which, there was this asshole in the city talking about that!"

A ragged, laughing, bad gala guy just grabbed at me.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Lily appeared scared.

... Seriously. I didn't expect her to come out.

Bad gala men look at her and laugh raggedly.

"This is a lovely lady. Out of the way, will you?"

"If you want to play, you can play?"

The moment Lily screamed briefly, "Hino".

Behind the guild becomes noisier.

Next to us, there was Lilia.

"... what are you doing?"

"Hmm? Yeah, I'm just inviting you to a party. Officials aren't always involved."

"Ah?"

Lilia flies cancer on a guy with a bad gala. Lily had tears in her eyes and stepped back behind Lilia.

Doesn't know which one is worse.

I mean, I didn't think there would be any adventurers who would behave this way to officials. The adventurers who know about Lilia are blue-faced.

"Both of you, stop fighting. This is an Alliance?"

Why am I stopping it? You two are staring at me.

"Hey Rude. I always say, if you get tangled up, just kick your ass. Some of the adventurers admit to fighting each other."

"... we have to fight even though it doesn't make any sense"

"If you're an adventurer, it's a daily tea meal."

"I don't want to make that routine."

That's best if we can discuss it and work it out. Because that's the problem I would have solved if I'd seen the gap and run away like this.

Lilia sighs, ha, and then sees a guy with a bad gala.

"It's these guys and us, and we've been crusading Aoi Tortoise yesterday. This is the requisition. Even fools can see it because it's signed by the guild leader, right?"

"... be"

If there is, let it out first.

The requisition Lilia showed you says it has been accomplished.

Bad gala men compared us to Lilia and blued their faces. Lilia arms herself satisfied with it.

"Speaking of which, Rude also has a track record of updating the labyrinth of a labyrinth city with one of his former brave parties. He has also participated in the last Coulas defense battle to defeat the Demon Clan. So, if you want to make it work, I'll give you a place in the guild?"

"Yes, no... nothing. Ah, haha. Bye!"

"Wait. I'll get you a place, though?"

"Get off me! Wow, sorry!"

"Because I don't care about apologizing to Rude. Any apologies for staring at Lily?"

"Oh, I'm sorry! Sorry!"

Lilia let go there satisfied.

... Well, if it's going to bother you around, I figured out I'd better do it directly.

"Thanks Lily"

"Hmm, naturally, as an official."

"Yeah, it was fine."

Lilia is happy with Lily's head.

Still, I hear Lily scream and it comes in a flash or something. This Ciscon...
