“I’ve never met her in person, but I’ve heard that she is their educator.”
“Oh, so that’s why they are submissive to that woman.”
After the day’s request was over, we were going through the paperwork at the reception when the Guild Master called us, so we all headed to the private room.
When I heard the whole story, I could understand why the woman was so commanding on the two of them. Or rather, I would like to say that since she is in charge of their education, she should educate them well so that they will become a little more decent people.
“That woman brought the money for the fine payment, and she also had the Count’s reply letter. It seems that she will be educating the two of them for a while.”
“I see…. But I’m still worried.”
The Guild Master looked a little relieved that things had settled down, but I was still worried. Of course, my companions have the same expression.
Looking at us, the Guild Master seemed to be wondering why we are like this.
“You look kind of worried.”
“Well, yeah. I think she is more dangerous than the two of them. Both Shiro and Ao are on guard against her you see.”
“Mmm, I felt the same way. Her eyes seemed to have hidden gleam that it makes it hard to understand what she is really thinking.”
“I see. Shun and the others have met her in person, so you guys must have felt that she was dangerous. Sigh, looks like this isn’t going well then.”
“I mean, that’s just the opinion of an adventurer who has just risen to F-rank.”
“As I said before, I have a high regard for Shun and his comrades. Since you guys have judged her to be dangerous, I think it is safe to assume that she is up to something. If there is something, it will be good to step on it. I’ll talk to my husband about it.”
If the Margrave makes a move, that woman shouldn’t be able to do anything on her own. I’ll leave it to the Guild Master to deal with the three of them.
After that, the Guild Master began to talk about something else.
“Alright, let’s leave the matter on those three here for now. I have a job I want to discuss with Shun and the others.”
“What is it?”
“It is an investigation request. There is a small village about two-hour walk from this city. Goblins were spotted around that village. You guys, together with the other tenants of the inn, will need to find the location of the goblin’s nest. If possible, I would like you to identify the type of goblins there.”
“I understand. Do we have to get rid of the goblins?”
“Don’t provoke them badly. If there are goblins attacking the village, you can get rid of them. But basically, I will be sending a subjugation force to ensure everyone’s safety.”
“Understood. Is that okay with everyone?”
“I’m okay with it!”
“Yes, I’m okay accepting the request. We need to make sure that the village is safe as soon as possible.”
“Thank you. Then you should spend the whole day tomorrow preparing and leave the city the day after tomorrow.”
“““Yes”””
We’ve defeated monsters that came out when collecting medicinal herbs before, but this is the first time we’ll be doing a full-scale subjugation. I mean, even though it’s a investigation request, it’s better to be prepared.

“We’re finally getting a request related to monsters.”
“Yes. So, just to be safe, we should get some equipment tomorrow.”
“We agree with that idea. While we are at it, let’s go to the guild and gather some information.”
When we got back to the inn, I talked about the job request to everyone. Their morale was boosted by the fact that we’ll have our first subjugation-related request.
There was a chance that we might be selected to join the extermination squad that would be formed later, so we were all very motivated.
But we didn’t know it at this time.
—That this goblin-related request would lead to an incredibly major incident.
