25 The beginning




 A new feature was added to the Adventurer's Card.
 It was a feature that 'tells you the news of what's happening across the continent'. There are pictures and videos inside, too, which is useful.
 I don't know much about the continent. I heard from my colleagues that there are several races and countries, but if asked to draw a map, I can only draw fragments of the kingdom of Kuzeera and the countries close to it.
 It was because I was like that that I was rather looking forward to the news that the cards were updating.


 Riff had even called me, Kåñëa, and Sheila to the Guildmaster's office when Riff called me over, but the important thing was that Riff wasn't there.
 So I was looking at the cards.


'Oh, there's a new article updated. What's that, the new Empress of the Weyla Empire has been appointed ...... ho ho.


 It seems that the new head of the country called Weira Empire has been chosen.
 And it seems to be a woman. Congratulations.


I'm sure you're not the only one. I remember there was some kind of conflict originally.


 Sheila looks at my adventurer card.
 She's in the form of standing behind me on the couch.


'Oh, it says something about that too. Oh, the empress's face is on there too. Red hair and red eyes ......, does that look anything like Kåñëa?
Oh, my. You're right.


 Kåñëa sits on the sofa across from me, uninterested, drinking the tea that's being poured into her cup.
 After seeing the article, I'm starting to remember that she has the grace to think she's a real empress.


'There are so many people out there, it's not surprising that she looks like someone else.


 Kåñëa seemed to hear what we were talking about and returned it as if it didn't matter.
 Well, there's no doubt about it.
 First of all, the Kuzela Kingdom and the Weyla Empire don't get along very well with each other.
 If you're related to the new Empress, you wouldn't be in this place first. Unless there is some reason.
 I'm sorry, but the door was opened with a bang as we were talking about this.


I'm sorry, I'm late for various reasons!


 A young girl, the master of this room, walked in, shaking her purple hair that stretched almost to her knees.
 It was Guildmaster Riff.


''You're late. So what's this request for appointment to these three?


 Kåñëa asked Riff, disgusted.


'Hmm. It's not just the three of us, but the ones who are recognized by the king as being exceptionally skilled in the capital. I would like you to accept the nomination request.
All right. So what do you want?
I don't understand how you can be so quick to agree to this ...... or at least check out the details before you accept.


 Kåñëa said, holding her forehead.
 Sheila puffed out her cheeks, miffed at Quena.


'If Zied fails, I'll make up for it!
No one said it would fail. I can't imagine Zid failing. I'm just saying that you don't have to take everything just because it's a request.
Hahaha. Well, I've heard about you~


 Riff responds to Kuena's words.


'Rumors? What's that?


 I was curious and asked him about it.
 I don't think I've ever done anything that could be construed as a rumor.


"You've been asked to do things that no one else would do, haven't you?
Yeah. I'll take it. I've been taking requests at random and he's pissed off. I'm taking requests that tend to stay in the planning.
Or a lost and found sewer for F-rated people?
Yeah. Because no one wants to take it on, do they?


 Riff shrugged at my question, 'Oh man. It's half angry and half cute when a little girl does that.


'What do you think happens when you have an S-ranked lord taking care of it?'
............ Oh. Guild foil falling off?
Well.


 I finally understood and felt a shock like a knife in my heart. I couldn't help but utter a woof.
 I see.
 It's like the guild has no work to do when I get a request for a lower rank?
 I'm sorry about that.


''But on the other hand. I'm sure there are some people who have been saved by such petty requests. This is the reason why some receptionists, low-ranking adventurers, and townspeople like you are more popular than others.
'My stock has been capped!
No one is talking about Sheila.


 Sheila took the opportunity to interrupt the side and come forward.
 To that, Quena made a calm comment.


'Oops. I got off track. So I would like you three to accept the nomination.
You're asking me to do this at a party?


 Quena asked without pause.
 It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.


I'm sure you're aware of many things. --Well, you must be aware of the many things - I want you to take it personal.
What, privately? I thought I could work with Zid. ......


 Sheila's eyes glaze over.


'Hmm. Kåñëa will have the request done at the same place, but Sheila will have another request to take care of - ......
What? Why? Why Quena!
I wonder why.


 Sheila is extremely frustrated.
 Seeing her, Kåñëa is also smiling a crazy, victorious smile.
 What a fight.


''No! He's replaced by Kåñëa! I want to be in the same place as Mr. Zied!
Even so, Sheila is a rare knight type ...... for the guild. It is worthy of this request.
Yes, yes, yes!
Moo.


 Riff is fumbling with Sheila, who's been fumbling around.
 But then he remembered something good, like a peon.


If I do this job in order, you'll be spending a lot more time with Zied in the future.
What did you say? I'd love to take that one! Let's get on with it!
Simple.
It's easy and convenient to handle.


 Finally, he began to explain the request.
