After that, I called everyone to join me.

　We gathered in the cafeteria to discuss the joint order.

''I'm grateful that you listened to my request. However, I was surprised by Ryota-san's members. There are two spirits that can manifest in the company, an elf woman, and a boy. That's a diverse group of members for such a small group.

　It was a dangerous story that just came out of nowhere!　The boy is in trouble ... and Mr. Manya is a grown woman, so he's doubly misunderstood!

No, no, not the boy...

'Not a boy?　Are you a son of the elven woman there?　The Alp Guards Country and the Arve Forest Country are the guardian countries of the same Ares Great Mountains. They may have had exchanges, but I didn't know they were family...

　No!　Mr. Palio?　You're pouring oil on the worse part of it.　

I'm, well, I'm family, aren't I?　No matter how you look at it, we're all family.......father. Shouldn't the name of the group be O-Naka Extermination Division?

　I've always called you Ryota... why are you calling me Dad at this point in time!　You've mistaken Anya for a child, and that's why your father is misunderstood.　But before I could clear up the misunderstanding, Manya exploded.

'Hey there little boy are you talking about me, boy?　Would you like to step out of the store for a moment and talk to me?

　That's because you wouldn't recognize me with my hat hiding my face and my arms crossed, would you?　Ah! Anya!　Don't bang on the table with your heels (heels)!　You can't even bash the cancer (West Japan: cut the mench)!

　You want me to follow up on this?　I'm the only one, right?

'Ahaha!　Well, my Manya is a fine dwarven adult woman. Take off the hat ... see, isn't she cute?　He is a craftsman, so he has no decorations and is shy and hides his face, so he is often misunderstood.

　Manya hid her face again and sat back down for good measure... but her stomach hurt. Midea looks a bit unhappy, probably because she wasn't introduced. I'll introduce her right away.

"And this is Midea. I'm not sure if it's because of the recent death of his father that I've been acting as a father figure to him and that's why the two spirits are so anxious to see him. ...

　Introduce Midia to the momentum. But I have a feeling that Midia's mood is getting even worse.

''Nah, I see. Then Midia-san is young, even for an elf, isn't she?　How old is he?　I'm in a man's household and my sister Thena is just coming of age, can you be my friend, even if it's just for the duration of your work?

　　Maybe five times as many?

He's what, 80?　Well, I don't know if I've ever heard of his exact age...

　Midia suddenly stepped on my foot!　Don't step on my heels!　It's ironed out!　Snap!　Grizzly bear!

　I'm already completely goofing off.
　Tena-san is irritated.
　Ku, the air is bad........
　What's the matter with you?

　 At the very least, let it go bygone without leaving a bad impression!

　However, an irritated Thena turned her anger in a surprising direction.

'Brother!　Why are you going ahead with this without apologizing?　It's extremely rude to mistake a grown woman for a boy!　Are you stupid?　Are you dying?　Quickly apologize to Miss Manya with all your might!

　All at once, the mood changed.
　I was angry at you, Palio....
　Are these siblings opposite in power?

　For now, Tena, nice follow-up!　But Manya still hides her face with her hat and continues to be silent like a stone statue....

''No, no, no, Anya had a pretty face hidden too. No matter how much of a craftsman you are, this outfit can be misunderstood. Anya, I will go with you to buy women's clothes later. We need to dress more appropriately from now on. And I'll soon forgive Palio and apologize to him as well.

　Tena's follow-up revives the possibility of getting back to work. If Manya apologizes nicely, though....

Dude, I'm sorry. Don't you dare casually call me cute!　I'm not at all confident in my choice of clothes. I'll buy it myself, but will you be responsible for choosing it for me?　...Palio. I don't really care what I look like either... well... sorry.

　A few more words?　Besides, I thought your apologies and forgiveness came before the clothes.

　Is it safe?
　I'm out?
　My stomach hurts....

　Despite such concerns, Thena-san gave a chase to Palio-kun.

''And to Miss Midia!　Elves change very little in appearance as they come of age!　And it's not good manners to ask a woman her age!　I haven't even apologized to Miss Manya yet, and if she thinks the Aigis man isn't polite, it's your brother's fault, right?

　I see. Tena, I'm learning!　Elves in this world are the stop-growing kind. I'm Oboeta!

　Tena's chase is not over yet. She urges Palio-kun to get down on his knees and apologize. My brother [Yeah! And then my sister glared at me with a [snap] face. In the end, Palio-kun apologized politely to Manya and Midea on his knees.

''I apologize for my brother's frequent rudeness. I'll let my brother's conceit do all the work to apologize. I apologize for my rudeness, Myrna and Midia. Please forgive my brother for his weak mind. I'll squeeze him later and make him learn it with his body exactly.

　Palio you look like you're about to cry. But once again, Thena-san chases after you. [You must ask my permission before speaking]　...miserable. My brother's appearance is no longer that of a piece of wood.

　Mr. Palio. Be strong my friend.

　That's how Tena reopened the conversation. She decided to make small talk first and then talk about work afterwards.

Thena is 15 years old?　You've just come of age!　I'm 16 years old. Ryota is from the East and doesn't know much about elves. Anya is a newcomer and works as a craftsman. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. There aren't many girls in this job, so let's be friends!

"Ryota. I'll squeeze you later....

　Oh, my God!　You've stepped on my foot and I'm done choking, right?　I thought I was gonna break my leg.　But in this world, if you ask a woman's age, she's usually strangled......... I didn't know that.　

　I've had a lecture from Goddess about this world, but there's still a lot I don't understand.

It's just that it's so obvious it wasn't in the lecture.

　At the right moment when we broke the ice with our chit-chat, Tena naturally switched to talking about work as a matter of course.

　The bandits, as usual, seem to be living in the nearby forest. Originally, he was a refugee who fled from the heavy taxation of the Fafnal military state. (Neighboring countries refuse to accept them because they don't want it to become a diplomatic issue.)

　He's a commoner fallen bandit, so he's not much of a threat. However, there is a former hunter who is the leader of the refugees. His bow skills are excellent and troublesome.

　By the way, the Fafnar military state in the north is a country founded by a hero, just like Aigis. Both have little cultivated land. But the Aigis Shield Nation is working hard on its internal politics and the efforts of its people.

　Fafnar's policy is to invade and plunder the free cities. They may gain temporary fortunes, but not rich cities and land. And yet the invasion has increased borders and defense spending. The number of thinly populated lands also increased, and the cost of administration increased. Thus, the country gets poorer and poorer, taxes increase, and the people leave the country.

　Is Fafnal an idiot?

　It's an art form that can be done in this world of uncharted territory, but Aigis has been hiring in low-wage but pioneering projects to combat refugees. However, the target this time has already lost faith in the country and the government itself. And they paid the hand that was extended to them and became bandits.

　If this happens, Aigis must be defeated as well. He is a bandit, but he is also a fine anarchist terrorist. Well, once you suspect a country, it's easy to assume that other places are the same.......

　Also, Tena finally gave her permission and Palio started to join the conversation.

'Ryota-san. There is a small demon area nearby, would you like to go there after dinner to check the cooperation?　And there will be some rewards for taking them down.

　Surprisingly steady and careful. Even though our job is to provide cover and help the hunters, it's still important to train and understand our members' abilities. If you understand that, you're a leader by necessity. If Palio is in charge of combat operations and Theena is in charge of external negotiations, she'll have a great career.
