It was only after a few days had passed that I officially 'received' the request from Sheila. This was because it had to be done confidentially due to the fact that it was a matter of fact, and the request was made directly through Riff, the guild master.
　Even now, he was still in the guildmaster's office on the top floor of the guild's main building. That's where Riff and I were talking about what we had prepared in the days leading up to this request.


It's a good idea to have a party with Jade. Are you trying to organize a party with Jade?


　Riff said, sitting face to face on the couch opposite me. I'm sitting on the couch too, but Kåñëa is standing behind me with her arms crossed.
　Kåñëa hurriedly shook her head at Riff's suggestion.


'It's not like that!　I just can't leave Jide alone!
What's your fancy?
No, not exactly!　That one, that one. I'm still serving as a guide: ......!　Hey!
"'Hey!' That being said. I think I'm getting a glimpse of the personal feelings you brought up with your responsibilities.
'How could it be?　There's no reason for me to be in love with you!
'Do you need a reason to like someone?　Well, if anything, it tickled my motherly fancy, didn't it? I don't know.
Don't say that!


　Kåñëa's anger reached its peak due to Riff's teasing.
　At last, he even brought out his flaming sword.


''Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, whatever, let me go on with the story.
'Whatever!　It can't be anything!
Hey, Riff. Apologize.
"Haha~ I'm sorry. Please forgive me.


　Riff apologized to Kåñëa with an awkward grin.
　He knows that if Kåñëa continues to lash out, even the guild's main building is in danger. Why he provoked her to this extent is not clear though. Well, perhaps it's personality.


''Tsk. ......''


　Quena tucked the contraption away, still with veins in her forehead.


'So what about my request?'


　I asked again.
　A request.
　I'm not the one who gets it.
　I was the one who made the request to the guild.
　Two requests.


"Oh. I've already got the slave collar the kingdom made. Here's the magic item.


　I placed the magic item I had requested on the low seated table between the couches where the riffs were paired with each other.
　If you don't tell me, I won't notice it, it's a very thin and thin collar.
　However, it maintains a firm circular shape and is surprisingly hard in your hands.
　The inside of the collar is not filled with magic. However, you can see that it is designed to absorb magic power when you put it on.


It's a magic item that is forbidden. "It's a prohibited magic item.
Yeah. I know.


　As I said this, I put the slave collar on.
　There is a hole between the circles and a mechanism to pass the neck through it.
　When it is fitted around the neck, the hole automatically closes and I could see that the magic power was being sucked out slightly.


'Wait, what are you doing?'


　Quena asked in a panic.
　Oh. I told Riff because he wouldn't take the request unless I told him what it was used for, but I didn't tell Kåñëa directly.


'It's to find a way to deactivate it,'


　I said and put my hand on the collar.
　I see the flow of magic power.
　Hmmm, so this is how it's constructed. I was going to ask him to bring me a production drawing as well, but after all, this is much easier than looking at a difficult drawing.
　Eventually - I found the magic formula that leads to the disarmament.
　The over-capacity magic power is instantly poured into it.
　There was a chirping sound and the collar came off.


'Okay, we've got it.'
"Oh~. You can do it!


　Riff was happy as he clapped at my tricks.
　Quena, on the contrary, had a twitch in her cheek.


'It's a magic item that built an era, even if it's a ....... It was something that caught even the magicians who were good at magic .......'


　I suppose there was once a time like that.
　I don't know when it was abolished or anything, but I've been in the forest for a long time and I don't know about those days, so it's impossible to understand.
　I've been at a loss for words for a while now, but then Kåñëa came to her senses and asked me about it.


But you should have tried that when you were helping someone like Sheila. There were plenty of people in the group.
'No, no, no, no, no, I thought they would know if I broke it, no matter how thin it was.
''Hmm. I don't think those higher ups in the Order care that much about it.


　Well, that's one way to think about it.
　But I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.
　I want to fulfill this request.


The other request is that each of them have come from different people. I'll be there on time.
Yeah, that's great.
Hmm?　What does it mean to get together from people?


　Kåñëa asked again.


'I've made a request. I've asked for the best adventurers in the world.
Are you good at this?　I haven't been invited to ......?


　I tilted my head back, smiling as Kåñëa grabbed my shoulders, smiling at me. Her eyes are not smiling.


'Yosanna, your jealousy is ugly.
I'm not jealous!
Wait, Riff. Don't say anything because it's gonna get complicated again.


　He stops Riff from trying to tease Kåñëa again.
　And I explained why I didn't call Kåñëa from me.


'The reason I didn't call Kåñëa is because I'm based in the kingdom. If we get any strange attention here, Kåñëa will be forced to move out. I don't want to get him involved.
....... I wouldn't worry about it!
Yeah?　I'm sorry about that. Should I have asked for it?
Hahaha. It's her way of hiding her embarrassment, Jide.
'BAH ......!　Hey, don't say anything!　I mean, you said you had to bring in skilled adventurers from all over the world. I get the gist of what you're trying to do, but how much gold did you spend?
"That's roughly 120 gold pieces.


　Riff told him simply, instead of me.
　Kåñëa was startled by that.


'What!　The request achievement is supposed to be five gold coins!　Why would you do that ......!
Well, it's all about getting the job done. I used all the money from the contract and the fulfillment to get it done on time.
'I don't think so. I'm saying it's not worth it!　Have you misunderstood something?　The only reason they ask you to do this is to make money!


　Quena approached my face with a devilish look on her face.
　It's just that she's naturally beautiful and I'm embarrassed.


'Yeah, I know that. But I've told you before. I'm sorry, and my friends and Sheila feel bad about it.


　It's also an apology.
　And.


'I'm spending money, but it's kind of rewarding. Many times more so than when I was a member of the group. So, well, I have no regrets.
No. I'm not talking about regrets or anything like that, ...... you're really weird, you.
'Hahahaha!　Jeed is a totally weird guy!


　Quena was dumbfounded, Riff laughed, and I got a total bashing.
　Well, that kind of reaction is to be expected.


'Even I don't plan to go this far in the future to accomplish the request. I'm sure I'll be able to do it. --But this is a request that I want to accomplish even more than that, even if it means using more than a hundred forces to accomplish it.


　I told the girls with a firm intention.
