“While it is not unusual for a guardian lord to have some say in the marriages of those under their protection, there is absolutely no precedent for simply telling them to become adventurers from the start. Sue has also been subject to various comments regarding marriage. In her case, it’s a one-year limited-term arrangement for adventuring, provided there are no issues.”

“Actually… Lord Kasuak told us that since Sue-san is already working as an adventurer, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to become adventurers as well.”

“We did try to explain that we knew Sue-san’s adventuring term was limited to one year, but… they refused to listen to anything we said.”

“That Count has always been foolish, but this has gone beyond foolishness. Give me a moment.”

Ah… so that Count Kasuak had been exploiting Sue’s situation as justification to force Casey-san and Telma-san into becoming adventurers.

Emilia-sama’s anger seemed to deepen even further as she picked up a tablet-like magical device—one that Sue also used—and began tapping at it rapidly.

“Tail—ooh~, same!”

“Yeah, we match.”

“Fran has a tail too!”

“Horn doesn’t have one…”

At some point, Kent had wandered over to Shiro’s group, and now they were all happily swaying their tails together. Horn, being a celestial race, didn’t have a tail, but she flapped her wings instead.

It was an incredibly peaceful, heartwarming scene but I had a feeling Kent might actually be escaping here because he could sense his mother’s killing intent radiating through the room.

“Alright, I’ve reported everything to my father as well. It should be all taken care of.”

“““……”””

Emilia-sama said it with a satisfied smile, as if she had just finished a simple task.

But… her father is the King, right?

All of us—me included—were left completely speechless. At this point, Count Kasuak had really gone and made an enemy of someone he absolutely should not have.

“Hmm… Since it will take about two weeks for the national army to arrive from the royal capital, how will you two be spending your time?”

“If it’s all right, we’d like to continue adventuring and learn as much as we can.”

“We also want to observe things from a commoner’s perspective.”

“That’s a good way to learn. And with the harvest festival coming up, there’s plenty of work to be done. Sue, make sure you teach them properly as adventurers.”

“Yes. I’ll do my best to teach them.”

Casey-san and Telma-san’s determination made Emilia-sama nod happily.

Honestly, not just Sue—but I felt like I should help teach them as well.

At that moment, the butler who had earlier carried the Margrave in so easily entered the reception room.

“Excuse me. The guest rooms have been prepared.”

“Thank you. Sue, would you prefer to share a room with Shun? You were sharing rooms during your journey anyway, weren’t you?”

“W-what?! T-th-that’s not the case at all!”

Sue’s face turned bright red as she hurriedly denied it. Well, it was clear Emilia-sama was teasing her on purpose.

As for me, I simply continued talking about our journey, quietly waiting for Sue’s embarrassment to cool down.

At that moment, a small child was brought in by someone who looked like a butler.

“Mommy!”

“Oh my, Ken-chan really is such a spoiled boy.”

“““Fufufu”””

A small child with blond hair—complete with wolf ears and a fluffy tail—ran up and clung tightly to the woman’s leg. Yes, with his look, he must be the child of the Margrave and this woman.

With the sudden appearance of the child, the tense atmosphere in the room softened all at once.

“Madam, what happened with the young master?”

“Oh, it’s fine. This happens all the time. Don’t worry about it.”

“I see. Then I shall carry the young master to the bedroom.”

“Please do.”

Without hesitation, the bear beastman butler lifted the unconscious Margrave as if he weighed nothing at all and carried him inside the mansion.

From their tone, it sounded like everything that had just happened was simply part of their normal routine.

“Now then, everyone, let’s move to the reception room. I already understand the general situation, but I’d like to hear the details properly.”

We were led to the reception room by the woman holding the child.

At this point, the Margrave—still unconscious—was clearly going to need some time before he recovered.

“Now then, we should properly introduce ourselves. I am Emilia, the Western Margrave’s wife. I’ve met Sue and the others once at the Royal Castle—this is our first meeting since then. And this little one is Kent, the future Margrave. Kent, say hello.”

“Hi!”

“““Hello!”””

Kent and Shiro cheerfully exchanged greetings, but I couldn’t help feeling that some extremely important information had just been casually left out.

“Shun, Emilia-sama is actually a former princess. She’s the daughter of the current King. She was very kind to us, even as daughters of lower nobility.”

“Huh?”

Wait—what did Sue just say?

The woman sitting right in front of me…

was a former princess?

“Emilia-sama was originally quite an active and spirited person, and she is skilled in self-defense.”

“And when she married into the Western Margrave’s family, she was trained even further. I’d say she’s arguably the best in the country when it comes to joint locks.”

“Ahh, you’re making me blush.”

“Mommy, you’re stronger than Daddy!”

Casey-san and Telma-san’s additional explanations only made my confusion deepen.

A former princess who is skilled in self-defense is already shocking enough on its own. And judging by Kent’s reaction, it seemed that the Margrave getting himself “dealt with” by Emilia-sama was not exactly a rare occurrence.

“Anyway, setting aside that idiot Dein for now—why did you two end up becoming adventurers?”

“My family and Telma’s family both have many daughters, and Count Kasuak disliked the idea of our families forming too many ties with other noble houses.”

“Mm. So they pressured us, saying that the youngest daughters wouldn’t be able to marry into a good noble house anyway, so it would be fine for us to become adventurers….”

“Hmm…”

Ah. At Emilia-sama’s reaction to their story, her mood visibly dropped. This definitely gives off a bad vibe.

Well, getting to the Margrave’s estate was one thing—but the moment we arrived, an unbelievable pressure was already seeping out from the entrance hall. Not just me—everyone except the Margrave himself hesitated for a brief moment before stepping inside.

And that instinctive hesitation turned out to be completely correct.

“Hey, I’m ho—gaah!”

The moment the Margrave stepped into the house, he let out a pained cry and was suddenly sent flying straight back out into the garden.

Then, the source of that overwhelming pressure finally revealed themselves from inside the mansion.

It was a woman—appearing at first glance to be a delicate human with a petite frame, about the same height as Sue. She had blonde bob-cut hair. And… well, there was no ignoring it—she was extremely well-endowed. Her expression was gentle, almost smiling. And yet, the pressure she emitted was on an entirely different level.

Shiro, Fran and Horn immediately clung to me without thinking.

“You, I told you countless times not to go out alone, didn’t I?”

“Emilia, this is different! It was urgent—illegal entry suspicion, so I had to move quickly!”

“Oh? Even if it was urgent, you still could have used a carriage, correct?”

“““Awawa”””

This is bad. No, seriously—this is really bad.

The Margrave had already dropped to his knees, drenched in sweat, completely overwhelmed by the sheer pressure radiating from the woman named Emilia. Shiro and the others were trembling as well, frozen in fear from her presence—but there was no way I could stop this either.

Then—

whoosh.

“Agagaga!”

“You seem to require a bit of discipline.”

Before anyone could even process it, the Margrave had been forced face-down onto the ground, and Emilia had him locked in a camel clutch. Despite the Margrave’s massive build compared to her slender frame, the Margrave was completely overpowered and manhandled without resistance.

And then—she shifted her hold.

“Gubuh—!”

“This time, I will make sure you properly reflect on your actions.”

The woman’s front choke was locked in tight, and no matter how many times the Margrave tapped in desperation, she showed no intention of releasing the hold.

“Gghh….!”

And then—

The Margrave went completely limp. It had all happened in barely two minutes.

Who on earth is this woman?

To so effortlessly choke out a Margrave like that—she was anything but ordinary.

Shiro and Ao were trembling violently as they looked down at the collapsed Margrave, utterly stunned by how clean and precise the technique had been.

After finishing her work, the woman calmly wiped the sweat from her brow and then finally noticed Sue and the others.

“Oh my, if it isn’t Sue. And Casey and Telma as well. It’s been a while.”

“““E-Emilia-sama…  It’s been a while.”””

So, Sue and the others actually knew her huh.

But their expressions were completely stiff, still shaken from witnessing the “scene” that had just unfolded right in front of them.

Ah—since the Margrave was here, now would be a good time to hand over the letter from the Northern Margrave. Well, “while I’m at it” might not be the most proper way to put it, but if it’s the Margrave, he’d likely accept it without issue.

I reached into my item box and took out the letter I had been entrusted with.

“Margrave, this is a letter addressed to you from the Northern Margrave.”

“Let me see… Hmm. I had heard rumors, but a dark organization caused trouble at the martial arts tournament, did they?”

“The people connected to that group didn’t just summon a large number of orcs during the tournament—they also appeared inside a residence and summoned goblins.”

“My territory too… the harvest festival everyone looks forward to is fast approaching. Oh right… it would be wise to investigate whoever is backing that fool.”

The Margrave’s expression turned thoughtful as he considered the matter. At this rate, that male adventurer was likely going to be interrogated thoroughly. To be honest, I also had a feeling there was something more behind him.

“Guild Master, take care of processing the quest completion. Sigh… seems I’ve got yet another headache to deal with.”

“The guild will tighten its vigilance as well. We’ll keep a closer eye out for any suspicious requests. This time of year, the number of adventurers tends to increase, after all.”

The Margrave handed the letter over to the Guild Master, and the two of them both ended up wearing slightly weary expressions.

That was only natural, I guess. They were already busy with preparations for the upcoming harvest festival, and now they had to deal with a dark organization on top of that.

And so, with that, the discussion came to an end, and we set off for the Margrave’s estate.

But the moment we stepped outside the Adventurers’ Guild, I noticed something strange.

“Uhm, Margrave… it seems there’s no carriage. And I don’t see any attendants or guards with you either.”

“Oh, I walked here from the estate alone. I’m stronger than any half-baked guard, after all.”

“““Ooh! So cool!”””

No—seriously…. you guys, this isn’t something to admire.

For someone entrusted with governing an entire frontier territory, this kind of behavior is completely unthinkable.

And sure enough, Sue, Casey, and Telma all stood there, stunned into silence.

But somehow, it felt pointless to say anything to the Margrave. So, aside from Shiro and the others, we could only exchange resigned looks before following after him.

“Your Excellency!”

“Oh, you guys. Are you doing well?”

“We’re doing great!”

“Hahaha, good to hear that!”

On the way to the Margrave’s estate, townspeople called out to him one after another.

With his straightforward, easygoing personality, the Margrave is quite popular among the citizens. Come to think of it, the other Margraves I had met in different territories were also well-liked by their people.

And then, we finally arrived at the Margrave’s estate.

After informing how they intend to deal with the captured adventurer, the Margrave pulled out a tablet-like magical device from his pocket and began tapping away at it. Despite his large fingers, he handled it with surprising dexterity.

“That should do it… Sue, come here and take a look at this, will you?”

Calling Sue over, the Margrave had her check the contents displayed on the tablet.

Now that I thought about it, the Eastern Margrave had done the same thing—having Sue review something on a similar device. What exactly were they having her verify?

Before I could dwell on it further, Sue began tapping at the tablet herself.

“How about this?”

“Hahaha! That’s perfect. Let’s send it out right away.”

At whatever changes Sue had made, the Margrave burst into laughter, clearly pleased.

With a deeply satisfied expression, he resumed operating the tablet. Moments later, it seemed a reply came through. Both the Margrave and Sue exchanged looks—each wearing the same expression of quiet satisfaction.

“I’ve just reported the matter to the royal castle. Since it involves illegal entry by a noble’s son, the military will be taking him into custody. On top of that, they’ll summon Count Kasuak directly and give him a proper warning and make it clear he’s not to meddle with your families. They’ll even assign guards to you for a while.”

“Margrave, we’re the ones who caused trouble, and yet…. uhm, thank you very much.”

“You’ve even taken our families into consideration. We’re truly grateful.”

“Haha! This much is only natural. It’s the duty of a lord, after all.”

“““So cool!”””

The Margrave finished with a proud grin, clearly pleased with himself—but personally, I couldn’t help wondering on what exactly did Sue add to that message.

Then, the Guild Master turned his attention to us.

“Casey, Telma—you two should spend some time learning about adventuring from Shun and his group. In just a few short months, they’ve already climbed to D-rank. They even hold three titles.”

I had a feeling things would turn out like this. More than anything, Casey and Telma were acquaintances of Sue’s—there was no way she’d just leave them be.

As the Guild Master spoke, Sue and I exchanged a glance and gave a small nod.

“Now then…. about lodging, hm? Though I suppose you’re planning to have them stay at your estate anyway, aren’t you?”

“Hahaha, you know me too well. That’s what comes of a long-standing acquaintance. It’s partly for their protection. But, to be honest, I’m also quite interested in seeing Shun and his group’s strength for myself.”

Uhm… the Guild Master and the Margrave seem to be discussing something rather unsettling.

It’s not just the matter of lodging—at this rate, I can practically see an event coming where we end up sparring with the Margrave.

And then, Shiro started saying something absolutely outrageous to Casey and Telma.

“You know, when you go to the Margrave’s estate, you get to eat really delicious food!”

““Eh?!””

“Shiro… how many times do I have to tell you? Don’t bring up food every time we talk about visiting a Margrave’s residence.”

“Eeeh…”

Shiro puffed her cheeks in protest, but seriously—this was not the time to be talking about meals, especially right in front of the Margrave.

“Hahaha! In that case, I suppose my household must prepare a feast that won’t lose to any other.”

“““Yay!”””

See? Now you’ve gone and gotten the Margrave fired up.Even Sue couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

Just as we were in the middle of that conversation, the guild receptionist stepped into the private room.

“Guild Master… um… the Margrave has arrived.”

“““Eh?!”””

Her words hit us like a bolt from the blue, and all of us stared in shock.

The Margrave—here, at the Adventurers’ Guild? I never imagined someone of his stature would come in person.

And yet, the Guild Master didn’t seem the least bit shaken. If anything, he looked like he had expected this all along.

“Sigh… so he came after all. I suppose he’s the type who prefers to deal with troublesome matters directly, isn’t he?”

“Hahaha, as sharp as ever. You read me well. Is this what they call a long-standing acquaintance?”

A man entered the room with a laugh, answering the Guild Master’s musing as though it had been directed at him. He got a towering figure—a silver wolf beastman of striking appearance, clad in lavish attire that spoke of both power and nobility. There was no doubt about it. He has to be the Margrave of the western frontier.

Without a hint of hesitation, the Margrave strode over and took a seat beside the Guild Master, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“A group of interesting talents has shown up huh. Oh well, along with a complete fool, it seems.”

“““M–Margrave, we sincerely apologize for the trouble we’ve caused!”””

The Margrave spoke of the incident with a booming laugh, brushing it off as if it were nothing—but Sue, Casey, and Telma sprang to their feet. Their faces drained of color as they bowed deeply in apology.

Watching them, the Margrave gave a small nod, tilting his chin as if in mild approval.

“You three aren’t at fault here. Especially you two. You were simply following that idiot as adventurers. I heard he was making a fuss in a neighboring territory too, claiming he couldn’t stay at a beastman-run inn. Sigh… things like that happen several times a year. Not worth losing sleep over.”

Hmm… perhaps it was that bold, beastman way of thinking, but the Margrave laughed off the commotion at the inn—something I myself had witnessed—as if it were trivial.

But then, his expression shifted.

“All that said… entering the territory under a falsified adventurer registration is unacceptable. You, at least, entered my domain with legitimate adventurer cards, so there’s no issue there. But using a fraudulent card to gain entry into a Margravate is, in essence, trespassing. And that applies to anyone—noble or not. Not just in my lands, but in any territory.”

Ah… I see. So that’s how it works.

Forging an adventurer’s card is, of course, a crime in itself—but more importantly, without a legitimate card, one isn’t even permitted to enter the capital in the first place.

Had he presented some form of noble identification, it might have been a different story. But that man entered the city using a falsified adventurer’s card.

At this point, even if he were to produce proof of nobility, it would already be too late.

“He’ll be charged with illegal entry into my domain. That fool will be taken to a military facility for interrogation. I doubt he’ll be seeing freedom again anytime soon.”

The Margrave declared flatly.

I couldn’t help but wonder why that guy would take such a risk just to come to the western frontier.

Perhaps it wasn’t merely about asserting dominance over beastmen…Maybe he had some other motive altogether.

Looks like we also have to sit in while the envoy from the Western Margrave received a full explanation.

To be honest, the atmosphere is very heavy, but we have some people who are good at striking up conversations.

“Hey, hey! How do you fight, Casey-oneechan and Telma-oneechan?”

“Uh, well, I fight in a swordsman style.”

Casey replied.

“I’m also a swordsman style. Both of us can use body-enhancement magic, so we’re fairly skilled,” Telma added.

“““Ooh! That’s cool!”””

Come to think of it, Casey and Telma both had swords strapped to their waists.

The captured adventurer was also a swordsman type. But, would having three frontliners really work out? Sue seemed to be thinking the same thing, and she asked them a few questions of her own.

“So, what role did Dein-sama take?”

“W-well… he just stayed in the back.”

“He said it was because he was supposed to be in a commanding position…”

Yeah… that guy really was a piece of work. He probably intended to run off the moment things got tough.

“Most likely, he thought a woman would be easier to control than a man if a fight broke out. Truly despicable.”

The guild master muttered, frowning at the audacity of the guy.

No doubt, he just wanted to level up without lifting a finger.

“By the way, at first Dein-sama intended to invite Sue-san to the party. After the chaos in the Southern Margravate, he expected her to return to the capital.”

“But Sue-san went off to the other frontiers. That’s why we were chosen instead.”

“I’m sorry about that. But to be honest, I really don’t want to work with Dein-sama.”

““Me neither!””

Hmm… the women were absolutely tearing into the child of their patron. That alone showed just how little respect—or popularity—that Dein guy had.

Shiro and the others soon joined in the conversation.

“Um, you know, Sue-oneechan actually has a nickname.”

“Ah, I think it’s the ‘Holy Empress,’ right?”

“Shiro-chan, Fran-chan, don’t say anything about the nickname.”

Sue whispered, a faint blush on her cheeks.

“And Shun-oniichan… he’s known as the ‘Electric Chef.’”

“Wow… even a nickname, huh? As expected of Sue-san.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have reached D rank in just over six months, right?” Sue seemed a little embarrassed about how she had earned her title, so she didn’t like being called by it. But, really, it was better for everyone to know sooner rather than later—it was bound to come out eventually.

Once everyone had calmed down, the guild master began speaking again.

“Let’s set that fool aside for now. You two have no issues whatsoever. From what he said, I take it that you were forced to go along because of orders from your relatives?”

““Y-yes… that’s right…””

They replied in unison.

Yeah, I could kind of understand the situation, especially after what happened to Sue before. And dealing with a noble who’s both aristocratic and human-supremacist? That must have made things even more difficult.

“We, including our families, have no prejudice against beastmen.”

“However, we had no choice but to follow Dein-sama’s orders…”

The guild master, folding his arms, nodded knowingly.

“The hierarchies among nobles is really a pain. I’ve been in positions like this myself—dealing with troublesome nobles isn’t exactly a new experience.”

Casey and Telma, caught in the middle of all this, could hardly have felt more exasperated.

“Dein-sama has always… well, had a habit of trying to make himself look bigger than he is. This latest adventuring endeavor started with the idea of achieving great deeds and looking down on beastmen.”

“To be honest, he didn’t have the ability to pass next year’s knight exams, so he thought being an adventurer would somehow work out for him.”

Hmm…this sounded like a story I’d heard before.

Hearing Casey and Telma’s explanation, Sue couldn’t help but chuckle wryly. Some nobles in the Royal Capital really were absurd beyond belief. 

Just then, the fox beastwoman receptionist who had carried the male adventurer entered the private room.

“Guild Master, our investigation has concluded. After waking the adventurer and questioning him, we discovered that he gave a large sum of money to a completely different person with the same name, then had him styled to look similar and registered as an adventurer.”

“Forgery huh. If the person has a similar face and the same name, they could slip past the verification. This isn’t just a matter for the Adventurers’ Guild. This is serious enough that the lord should be informed. Send a messenger to the lord’s estate immediately.”

“Understood.”

The guild master’s face darkened at the unexpected revelation.

There was no other explanation. Count Kasuak should be involved in this forged adventurer registration.

Casey and Telma paled at the news of the forgery, but the guild master quickly offered a reassuring word.

“Casey, Telma, you don’t need to worry. This is entirely the fault of the Kasuak family. Nothing will be done to you or your families. Your verification checks were fine, after all.”

The guild master’s words were reassuring—and correct. After all, this was strictly a problem caused by the Kasuak family. Casey and Telma bore no responsibility on it.

Still… looks like another troublesome situation is about to unfold.

“All right, restrain this fool. Make sure to verify everything carefully.”

“Yes, sir!”

The receptionist, following the guild master’s orders, took the unconscious adventurer, tied him up thoroughly, and hoisted him with ease. Even as a woman, she lifted him effortlessly.

Wow, as expected of a beastman, even a woman can lift a man with ease.

“Now, I need to hear your side of the story as well. That woman over there seems to have some connection to that idiot, so I’ll have to hear her side of the story too.”

“Y-yes…”

The two female adventurers and Sue trailed behind the guild master, heads bowed. Understandable—after all, that male adventurer had caused such a ruckus and who knows what else he’d done.

Of course, Shiro and I followed along behind them, keeping close.

Click.

“First, please have a seat. Now… where did I put it?”

The guild master rummaged across the desk in the private room. I wondered what he was looking for, and then he produced a crystalline magical device used for adventurer registration.

“All right. We’ll perform a verification check. Take out your adventurer cards, place your hands on the crystal, and say your names aloud.”

“Yes.”

He decided to start with the two female adventurers. Although, honestly, I doubted there would be any issues with them.

“I’m Casey of the Viscount Nasca. I just registered as an adventurer recently.”

“I’m Telma of the Viscount Franz. I, too, have only just completed my adventurer registration.”

Casey had her red hair tied up, while Telma wore her blue hair in a neat bob. Both were about the same height as Sue, but clearly more well-endowed.

“Shun, were you just thinking something improper?”

“O-of course not.”

I replied hastily.

Even thinking about it in front of Sue was strictly forbidden, as always.

Anyway, when Casey and Telma placed their hands on the crystal device, it glowed white—just as it had when we registered as adventurers.

“Hmm, no issues with either of them. Now, let’s check you two.”

As expected, Casey and Telma were completely fine.

Next came our verification—but that’s when a bit of a commotion erupted.

“I’m Shun. My adventurer rank is D, and I have three titles.”

“I’m Sue. Same as him—D rank, three titles.”

“I’m Shiro! D rank, three titles too!”

“I’m Fran. E rank, with two titles.”

“And… I’m Horn. E rank as well, with two titles.”

“…”

As we announced our adventurer details, not only the guild master, but also Casey and Telma, were left speechless. Naturally, the crystal device glowed white, just as it had for us before.

“Oh, and Ao’s the champion of the martial arts tournament!”

Shiro added, delivering the final blow.The guild master and everyone else fell completely silent. Ao placed her hands on the crystal too, and of course—it simply glowed white as usual.

Finally, we all arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild—but, of course, trouble had already found its way inside.

“Why can’t I take this quest?!”

“Simple. Because you don’t meet the rank requirement.”

“Dein-sama, please stop!”

“You’re disturbing the others.”

The notorious trio of adventurers was causing a scene at the reception desk. Two women desperately tried to restrain the male adventurer, but he ignored them completely.

“Uhm… somehow, this scene feels familiar…”

Hearing me, Sue blushed and looked away. She remembered too—back in the Southern Margravate, the third son of the Bakuak baronial family had thrown a similar tantrum. And, of course, the third son had been scolded mercilessly by the guild master.

“Hey! What are you making all this noise about?!”

“Guild Master—”

“Ugh…”

Hmm… I guess this is what they mean when they say history repeats itself.

The guild master, a lion beastman, emerged from the back office in full fury, roaring at the male adventurer. Just his presence alone was terrifying.

And then… the idiot finally noticed Sue standing beside me.

“Oh! Isn’t that Sue? Come here and explain why my claims are correct!”

Yeah… I really wanted to punch his face.

Out of nowhere, he was demanding something completely absurd. Even Sue looked utterly exasperated at his words.

“Sigh… Dein-sama, wouldn’t it be better to listen to what the guild staff are saying? Besides, you’ve always said you want to become an adventurer, but have you even obtained permission from Count Kasuak?”

“Guu… my father has nothing to do with this! I will not be a knight—I choose the path of an adventurer!”

Ah, and now Sue had spoken nothing but the truth, which only made the male adventurer even angrier. Still, the problematic nobles in this country really do have ridiculous names…

At that moment, the guild master tilted his chin thoughtfully.

“Hmm… Count Kasuak? Ah, they’re relatives of the Bakuak baronial family that caused all that chaos in the Southern Margravate. If I remember correctly, after interfering in the Bakuak family’s mess, members of the Kasuak family were also punished—their adventurer licenses suspended and prohibited from obtaining new ones.”

“Ugh…”

“W-what!?”

The male adventurer’s face shifted instantly from anger to shock at the guild master’s words. The female adventurers who had been with him and Sue looked equally stunned.

“Grr!”

“Ah…”

Then the male adventurer bolted from the reception desk, clearly trying to make a run for it. The receptionist shouted after him, but there was no way he was getting away.

A flash of light—

A slick slip—

“Wawawa—!”

Crash!

Ao cast ice magic precisely where the male adventurer was running, causing him to trip and fall spectacularly.

The guild master did not miss that opportunity. He leaped from the reception desk to the male adventurer and hoisted him onto his shoulders.

“Honestly… what a pain.”

“….”

The male adventurer hit his face when he fell, was knocked unconscious, and even had a nosebleed—but honestly, he deserved that little bit of punishment.
