Welcome to the Monsters’ Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Oh, are you all right now, General?

In an office littered with luxurious ornaments, a subordinate gives the back of a boss who fails to make too much of an excitement.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, no, I'm sorry, Merck."

"It's too much, General Frieda."

Yes, what excited me in the clerk's office was his boss, General Frieda, who had previously insinuated that Rise would not return to the army, and it was his subordinate and friend, Merck, who was rubbing his back.

After Merck returned to King's Capital, Merck gained the right-hand position of General Frieda by stopping Rise from returning to the army and securing the identities of the special forces who had failed in their mission.

It was fortunately also from the loss of legs that his boss, who had given orders to the special forces, put him in such a disproportionate position by the young man.

As a result, Merck obtained a seat headed by a young knight of the Friedas and a promised future.

"Heh, heh, heh, is this something you can't shake! I took one from that Rise-Tamer!

That said, General Hashagu Frieda had a familiar jewel in his hand.

Yes, sealed in the underground ruins of the Great Devil's Forest, the object that the Devil's Apostles were looking for.

Though I discovered it in the town of Dexsi, Rise has been stolen, the magic treasure of the sealed demon.

For some reason, it was in General Frieda's hands.

"The gem that sealed the power of the devil, was it. What are you going to do with this?

Side by side with stones that just made him feel anxious to watch, Merck questioned General Frieda's sincerity.

Honestly, his instinct for not wanting to look directly at him for too long distracted him.

"It's decided! Give me this sealed demon jewel that Rise-Tamer has given to the Saint Knight of Nice Things! To serve the temple for taking it back from the thieves under my command!!"

(Chick!!!)

While remaining calm, Merck exclaimed in his mind.

(How about putting up that shovoy handle while I'm keeping my meal here!

There is no need for Merck to get stunned.

Because it was General Frieda's men who tricked Rise into stealing this magic treasure.

All because it was General Frieda's ruse.

"The knights sent in to harass him were useless and useless, but I have to admit that they sent me information on the sealed magic treasure."

General Frieda sees the treasure in the universe and enjoys its brilliance.

"Surely they were the children of the noblemen of General Frieda's faction."

"Um, I wasn't even smart enough to join the Knights. So I mediated with a Saint Knight who only had about a ceremony to do his job, but I see he was more incompetent than I imagined. But because we sent him under a cleric who was deeply involved with him, and we got the information for it, he said it would help us to be incompetent."

In fact, these were products of complete coincidence.

Edill and the Saint Knights were defeated by Rise and sent to the retraining because of their poor attitude in town, too, only to push them against the other cults in the name of the exchange of each cult by General Frieda, who was furious that he had been injured in his mentions introduced to the Temple.

As a result, the Sacred Knight who was training under the Mitic obtained information about the art treasure, which was unexpected for General Frieda and his men.

In the first place, General Frieda himself did not know that Mitik was a cleric involved with Rise.

(I'm scared of coincidences)

Merck was delighted with the good fortune he sprang down, smiling bitterly, in a chain of coincidences he never thought about.

General Frieda, who was in a bad mood for Rise's recent activities here, was very pleased with the way he put Rise behind him in this operation.

If my boss is in a good mood, my position is safe.

"Now, shall we send this jewel to the temple? Because things are things. Let me carry this! That's what I do!

"Exactly. We will immediately elect our escorts."

"Um, I'd like some competent people, Mr. Merck."

"Sir."

General Frieda, when in a good mood, calls his men with pride. Conversely, when you are grumpy, you call it off.

This may be an important indicator for the employees to check the mood of their supervisors.

Now the king's capital will be at peace for a while.

"Hey, no!?"

When Merck, who was ready for his men, returned to Captain Fried's room, there was an appearance of Captain Fried crawling around the floor in a hurry for some reason.

"What are they doing, Captain Fried?

"Me, Merck, is that you!? Just fine, look with me!

Captain Fried commands Merck in a hurry.

"What should I look for?

Merck asks the identity of the object as he forgives Captain Fried as he gets used to it.

"Phew, it's the magic treasure of the sealed demon!

"……… What?

"The magic treasure of the Seal Demon is gone!!"

It was the beginning of a mild afternoon, a major incident shaking the country.
