When the staff noticed us, they bowed and went underneath Neya before I did.

"This is Neya Fromage, have you found the Dragon of Algis?

　I understood that from the guild's point of view, the dragon of Algis was more important right now.
　If we let it go, the damage will be unbelievable, so it is of utmost importance to confirm whether we have hunted it or not.

"Yes, we have hunted the dragon guard of Argis that you requested. There will be no more damage.

The staff patted their chest, "As expected of the sword princess. But Neya hadn't finished her story.

"Don't get me wrong. It is true that we hunted the males, but the females were hunted by Lord Walth," Neya said, pushing me back.

　When the staff saw this, they looked surprised and didn't take it seriously, saying, "It's unusual for a sword princess to joke about this.
　They seemed to have realized that Neya and I had become acquainted, and they seemed to think that we were just joking around.

"I'm not kidding. Also, I'm going to be a vassal of His Highness Seretia of the Kingdom of Euresia, and I need you to take care of the formalities.

"............ Another joke. ......

　A moment later, the sound of a table being slammed echoed throughout the guild.
　A moment later, the sound of banging tables echoed throughout the guild. At the source of the sound, Benetnash was pounding his fist into the table.

Neyer has no time for this. Let's get on with the formalities.

"I understand!

　The staff member hurried back to the counter and started going through the documents. He then said, "The original procedure is to do it in a separate room, but there are too many people to fit in here, so can we do it here?　In that case, we need you to take off your masks and check ......." He looked around the guild.

　There were a number of adventurers in the guild, and they still hadn't taken their eyes off Neya and the others. Or rather, there was no doubt that the number of them had increased after hearing the voice of the staff. Now that I know that Neya is a famous adventurer and is called the Sword Princess, I'm starting to worry about her persistence.

"Benetnash, why do they keep staring at Neya?　Even if they are high level adventurers, it seems unusual," I asked in a low voice.

I think it's because we've never shown our true faces," Benetnash said, taking off his mask and helmet.

　There was a brown-skinned woman with a stern expression on her face.
　The others behind her took off their masks one after another, and some of them looked like ladies with their curly hair, while others had short cuts and a masculine air.
　They were all of different types, but their faces were nevertheless well-rounded, and I could hear the groans of the adventurers around me.

It's surprising," I spilled out.

What's surprising?　That's rude.

　If you know what I'm talking about, please stop asking questions.
　I turned my gaze to Neyer, thinking that I might not get along with Benetnash.

I don't care where I am, as long as I can get it done," Neya said as she took off her clothes.

　Neya's face was half hidden by her blue hair, but there was no doubt that she was a beautiful woman who looked like an adult version of Seretia. The staff seemed to agree, and after gasping, they scattered the papers in their hands on the floor.

You didn't expect her to be this beautiful," I said to Neya.

You're exaggerating when you say she's beautiful.

　Neya said modestly, her cheeks flushed.

"Master Neya, Master Walth didn't think so either," Benetnash said, as if to say something.

"That's a misnomer. I'm just not interested in faces.

"That's right, Benetnash. When you're as powerful as Walth, you're not interested in other people's looks, you're interested in what's inside them. Isn't that right, Master Walth?

　Neyer gives me a look that I don't doubt at all. Benetnash, on the other hand, gives me a sceptical look.

"Basically, yes, but when you're as beautiful as Neya, I can be surprised.

"Another beauty ......," Neya mutters in a muffled voice.

I'm not sure I'm ready.　I'd like to get the formalities out of the way.

　I'm not sure if I've ever felt this way before. It's the most prickly thing I've ever felt.

It's okay, it's okay. We'll start the procedure right away.

　As if the staff had sensed this, the strong attitude of the first days was gone, and they were just following Celestia's instructions as they were told.
　I don't know what it was that upset her, but it seems that it was and still is a terrible thing to put a woman in a bad mood.

　As soon as the procedure began, the staff asked Celestia and Neya questions and asked them to sign a series of documents that they didn't know what they were for, and all of them obediently followed. And so it went without a hitch, with the guilds being notified of each other's authentications, nationality transfers, and various other issues being dealt with.
　The only thing I can do is reminisce about the old days, when the procedures were not as detailed as they are now.

That's the end of the story at ----. From now on, Neya Fromage and the following six people's registrations will be placed under the Eurasian Kingdom's military, so please be careful," the official said, wrapping up the documents.

　If they were placed under the military, it meant that even the most trivial of disputes would come under the name of the Kingdom of Euresia first. In the worst case, it would lead to problems between countries. Also, there will be no direct requests from the guilds.
　If the guild wants to ask you, it will only be able to do so in a formal request to the country, and no individual will be able to decide whether or not to accept the request.

So all decisions regarding future actions will be made by Celestia, and she will be responsible for them," I said, placing my hand on her shoulder.

I don't like the way you said that.

　Celestia gave me a blatantly disgusted look and brushed my hand away.
　But the next moment, as if she had thought of something, she said, "Yes," and smiled at everyone.

I'll just approve it and leave the decision to Walth. I'll just approve it and let Walth make the decision. He'll be half responsible.

"............ I refuse.

Celestia smiled at me, "Refusal is not an option.

　This may be the first time I've ever felt afraid to smile.
　She was smiling, but her words contained such a powerful command to her slave that I could not resist.
　That's all Seretia said, and left the matter of the paganism to Benetnash, who went his separate way.
