After returning to the city of Farren, Virum and the others went to the Adventurer's Guild for a moment to report the completion of the two requests.

When Celica received the report, she said, "You've already finished two cases?! They were surprised, but were satisfied when they saw the kobold's tail, a few bunches of Luona grass and more than a dozen kushiked fruits that would be a certificate of defeat.

The three of them decided that the reward would be after the other case was finished, and they received only the certificate of completion of the request and began to eat and walk around instead of lunch.

Once their stomachs had settled, the three of them went to the Baron Sonotta's mansion, the last place of business.

The human gatekeeper stared at Wyrm's dark-eyed black hair with eyes that contained contempt, but when he showed them the request order form, his attitude changed dramatically.

After smirking and smiling like he was planning something, he told Virum and the others to "wait a minute" and went to intercede with the human in the mansion.

''Your expression has changed to a creepy degree. They're definitely up to something, right? That.

'It was a very bad laugh. Master, are you okay?

As I said before, I don't care what strangers think of me. You worrying about that kind of stuff will drive you crazy.

While I was waiting while chatting with them, the gatekeeper from earlier came back and asked me to follow him.

Virum and the others followed the gatekeeper without saying a word.

They were led to a large dome-shaped cage.

A huge wolf-shaped demon was inside the cage.

It's a pet greater wolf, which is a great favorite of my master. Make sure you play with it. Yeah, to avoid hurting them by accident, you have to take care of them without any weapons.

The gatekeeper with a grin and a nasty smile seems to have nominated Virum.

''Wait...''

The Greater Wolf is a demon that has the same fighting ability as a B-ranked adventurer.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

'Yeah, it's in the remarks section, right? Anything to relieve this guy's stress is good for him.

Wyrm takes one cold look at the gatekeeper, who explains with a petulant expression, and moves to the cage entrance.

'Unlock the door,'

The surprised gatekeeper's face quickly turns into an irritated expression when he sees Virum trying to get inside easily.

Perhaps he was expecting the abomination (Virum) to panic and run away in fright, but he seems frustrated that it didn't turn out the way he expected.

'Hmph! It's all well and good to be confident, but at best you have to be careful not to get eaten!

The unlocked gatekeeper closes and locks the door roughly as Virum enters the cage.

Shrugging his head, Wilm walks up to the Greater Wolf, who has been roaring since he approached the cage, without warning.

''Grrrrrr...''

I hear you're under a lot of stress. Why don't you go ahead and get your shit together.

Virum beckons the threatening Greater Wolf to provoke him.

''Gruaaaah!''

I don't know if its intentions were conveyed or not, but the Greater Wolf roared and jumped at Virum.

The Greater Wolf's sharp claws caught Virum.

No, at the moment when it looked like it had caught him, the Greater Wolf's huge body flew through the air.

''?!''

The Greater Wolf twisted himself up and landed on his feet, but even as he flew through the air, he was confused and unsure of what had happened.

Greater Wolf became more alert and slowly walked around the surroundings.

''Look, don't be so vigilant. You're going to get stressed out like that.

However, Virum's side of the table is as unassuming as if he were a friend.

The Greater Wolf, numbed by the approaching Virum with all the gaps, attacked with claws and fangs one after another, but all were heckled, avoided and sometimes thrown away.

''What the hell is that guy... isn't he an E rank adventurer?

The gatekeeper was stunned, unable to believe the scene that was happening before him.

In his mind, he must have envisioned the sight of Villem being cruelly torn apart.

''Well, there's no way Ville would be beaten to the extent of a Greater Wolf, is there?

''Mmmm, even if you don't mean it, Master's moves are instructive.

The gatekeeper rolls his eyes even more at Meldina's comment about Cunaria.

He can't accept the fact that even that movement that tosses the Greater Wolf around without difficulty is tame.

In the meantime, a change appears in the Greater Wolf.

Although it is jumping at Virum without pause, rather than launching an attack, it appears to be heading to be thrown away by itself.

His breath is panting, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows are gone, and he seems to be barking happily, his tail buzzing.

It's like a child begging to be played with more.



Yeah, yeah. You'll get fat in this little cage if you don't get some exercise. Come on, come on!

Once again, the Greater Wolf flies through the air.

However, unlike the dangerous one from earlier, it lands lightly and immediately runs towards Virum.

From the edge, it is a perfect picture of its owner and pet playing with each other.

Although the pet's body is about four times larger than its owner's.

The Greater Wolf sits down beside Virum, perhaps tired from moving around for so long.

''Is that enough? Okay, okay, come on over here.

Wyrm sat down on the spot and beckoned him to come closer, wagging his tail happily.

The Greater Wolf rubbed his face against Virum's as he sat on his hunchback, licking his cheek and spoiling him.

When Vilm responded to that sweetness by stroking his throat and behind his ears and giving him a massage, he began to sleep quietly, aided by the tiredness and comfort of moving around.

I never thought that Silberto would be so friendly to a stranger.

When I turned to the direction of the calm voice, I saw a woman of about thirty years of age being pushed in a wheelchair by a butler and a maid, with her hand over her mouth, expressing her surprise.

''This is your wife. Are you all right with your injuries?'

When the gatekeeper sees the woman who appeared, he hurriedly corrects his appearance.

From the reaction of the gatekeeper, she must be my client, Mrs. Sonotta.

'Forget that, Latrice, what does this mean?

'Ha, ha! These men brought the Adventurer's Guild's request form, so we led them to Silbert's cage and had them take care of it inside!

The gatekeeper, called Latrice, responded to Madame Sonotta's questions, but her expression grew harder and harder.

'You're supposed to be the adventurer who asked me to come today to take Wa(t)a-ta(k)c-si's little Alberto (pet) for a walk, right? Why did you lead me to my husband's cage, Silbert (pet)?

Well, it's just... I mean, it's a... or a misunderstanding! I thought you were the ones who came to take care of Silbert...

That's a lie.

Latrice's excuse was denied by Vilm, who had returned to the entrance of the cage after putting Silbert to bed.

'The client on the request form I showed you has been named Madame Sonotta. I was led to the front of the cage after seeing that. And you said "master's pet" when you were explaining things? Mostly, you didn't like the fact that I'm black-eyed and black-haired (abomination), so you intentionally led me to Silbert's cage.

Vyrm pulls out a request form from his pocket and exposes Latrice's lies while showing off his pyramids.

"When I saw how easily Vil avoided Silbert's attacks, I was surprised that he wasn't an 'E' rank adventurer. That means he knew of Silbert's danger and led him to this cage, right?

When our master went into the cage, he also said, "At best, don't get eaten!"

Every time Meldina and Cunaria testified to Latrice's gaffes as a chase, Latrice's face became paler and paler.

Mrs. Sonotta's expression also became angry, and she opened her mouth as she stared coldly at the pale Latrice.

'Latrice, you are dismissed from your position now. You will pack your bags and leave today.

Oh, ma'am! Please don't do that!

Latrice falls to the ground and apologizes and begs for forgiveness, but Mrs. Sonotta does not take it up.

'Why do you defend the abomination (this one)! You don't care what happens to this guy!

'You don't seem to know anything about it. This person is indeed an abomination of a look, but he is one who is approved by all of Farren's upper echelon. And to harass her like this without telling her husband and watashi about it...

Latrice continues to defend herself, but when she realizes that she will never be allowed to do so, she drops a paragraph disappointedly and leaves, accompanied by the butler.

Madame Sonotta, who watched Latrice leave, turned to Virum and the others and bowed her head.

'Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for any discomfort I may have caused you. It's a mistake for me not to inform the servants, although I had heard what Mr. Vilm had to say. As you can see, I apologize.

'Your wife doesn't need to apologize. Please raise your head. Instead, why don't we talk about what we're supposed to be doing?

Yes. Let me show you to Alberto's room. This way, please.

Mrs. Sonotta raises her head apologetically at Meldina's suggestion, and offers to show her around to change her mind.

Mrs. Sonotta instructed the maid to lead her, and she pushed the wheelchair that carried Mrs. Sonotta to the door.

Meldina and Cunaria began to walk to follow her... ━━.





'Uh... I'd appreciate it if you could unlock the door for me,'

"Pishiri" and the sound of the air of the place being solidified can be heard.

As the four of them were about to leave the room, they slowly turned around to see Virum standing in the cage with a slightly dumbfounded expression and zit eyes.
