After I finished talking about the Charisma Party and whatnot, I left the Guildmaster's office and went downstairs.

'Mmmmmm.'

　Sheila lets out a frustrated voice as she puffs out her cheeks.

　Next to me, Kåñëa is also glaring at me resentfully.

'If you can hang up the party, you should tell me soon.

'Sorry. I couldn't tell you because Riff was laughing so happily.

That Stupid Gilmouth: ......

　I'm not sure if they are training for a poke or not, but Kåñëa is cutting the sky with her arm.

　I'm not sure what kind of relationship Kena and Riff seem to have with each other. It's not as if they simply have a professional relationship.

　Suddenly, Sheila peeked at me.

'So, Jade isn't interested in the party?

Hmm, a party. Unless the guild wants us to form a party directly. There's no shortage of them, and I'm not sure I'd ever consider forming one.

"Charisma party, huh? ......

　Sheila was in contemplation with a finger to her chin.

　After all, it was Riff's word that both Sheila and Kåñëa would have no problem joining in terms of competence.

　But competence is secondary in this party. The fame on the surface has a big impact.

　In terms of the guild, rank S is required. I'm already rank S this year, but if Kåñëa or Sheila becomes rank S in the next year or so, I can join. ......

　I don't think it's a case that has that much time on its hands. To begin with, even if you get in smoothly, it's calculated to be one person per year.

''Well, Sheila will still take some time to get into the A-rank, so if I were to get in, it would be me first.

You'll be an A student next year.

Yeah?　At least in King's Landing we don't get requests, so it's hard to do that.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm... ......!

　He's giving accurate advice while appearing to be inciting anger.

　King's Landing has taken a big chunk out of my request. There are still large remnants of it.

'If that was the frontier of the kingdom, there would be a lot of requests moving around. I heard the skirmishes with the demon tribe are terrible too.

Oh, I've heard that. I've heard that the demon tribe has become more active. But defending the kingdom from other forces is like the job of the Knights either way: ......

　It doesn't sound like he's dragging it out, but I guess he's out of the Order and wants to work like an adventurer.

''What do you think of the Holy Republic? Isn't it rough because there have been two major demon outbreaks?

　Sheila asks.

　Quena is surprisingly well-informed, so surprisingly Sheila seems to trust her.

You can't. It's just that they were attacked out of the blue, and the Holy Republic is a powerful military force. It's a good thing that the main force of Soria's team, which was visiting various locations where they were injured in the skirmishes with the demon tribe, has returned.

"That's a neutral country. ...... A little flustered, but they're getting it back quickly.

Well, the fact that some monster was contributing to it is a big part of it.

　Where is this monster?

　Kåñëa's gaze is stabbing at me, but I'm just bringing the Empire and its dragons home.

'As I said before, our target is the frontier of the weakened Kuzela Kingdom. It seems that mercenary groups from all over the world are gathering there, and the kingdom doesn't seem to have any money to spend.

I'll have to leave Mr. Zied for a while. ......

　Sheila's face is on the verge of crying like an abandoned dog. It's not that I've done anything, but my heart hurts.

　In fact, if the guild has a request, I'd rather head to the frontier with them.



　While I was thinking about this, I saw a group of people struggling at the request reception desk.

''That's why we can't accept that request as a result of the review: ......

Why?　We have received a noble life ......!

　One is a girl with green hair and about four or five years older than Riff.

　The others are sparse in age and gender. Some are young women, some are older men.

'What the hell,'

It's a cult that's becoming more and more active these days, calling itself the True Astaire Faith. They must have come to make a request.

　Kåñëa responded to my muttering.

'True Astaireism?'

'Yes. The Holy Republic's state religion, Astaireism, is a fake, a group that calls themselves the real thing.

Oh, yeah. How come they're in the guild again?

'I thought you wanted the guild to help with the missionary work?　But the Guild doesn't lean towards one force, and when I say Astaireism, it's the cult that Soria belongs to. You don't want to have any more problems with that place now.

　I'm convinced by Kuena.

　Is it because of the Charisma Party thing?

...... in case you want me to nail it down?

　Quena looks at me with a jittery look.

'What do you mean?'

'You don't get it: ....... I'm saying don't get into the weird stuff. I feel like there are weird things going on with you as the main focus and ......

That's where you're wrong. Things happen every day without me.

We have different degrees of problems!

　Quena shoves me hard.

　Well, it's enough to get rejected by the guild. I don't go at them blindly either.

　Then a group of people who call themselves the True Astaire religion walked out.

''Well then, I'm going to go to the frontier of the kingdom to accept the request while I'm there!　Wait for me, Jide!

　Sheila says, pointing at me with a beastie.

　She's really going to save up the points to receive an S rating next year. If that's her intention, I won't hold her back.

　For now, I wave my hand and tell her to hang in there.

''Then maybe I'll follow Sheila's lead.

Hmm, you too?

'Yes. Actually, there are a few loopholes to get an S-rank. So it's not Sheila then, but you'll have to wait and see, Jide.

Oh. Good luck.

　I felt like the ends and the means were swapped, but well, it's a good thing I'm in the Charisma Party because I'll have a much better chance of looking back at my sister if I join the Charisma Party.

　Well, let's see what I'm going to do.
