To confess his own mistakes, he went to the Guildmaster's office.

　He turned away the Weyla Empire to help his good friend old man. And it was so badly acted that it was obvious who he was. ......

　You should not have forced yourself to lie when you haven't even spoken to a person in a locality.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sorry for the weird thing I did.

That's okay. Why are you being so grave?

Oh, you're sure?

　Riff says simply.

　Rather, 'Why are you being so remorseful?' He looks dubious.

''If you confronted the Wayra Empire with the Guild's sign on your back as a prank, I'd consider punishing you. But you have a legitimate goal in mind, a request, and you're just taking steps to achieve it.

No, I got mixed up in the war.

"You were trying to save Kåñëa and Sheila, weren't you?　And to help Yui, who is part of the Charisma Party. Right?

Yeah. So it wasn't a request.

'How can I blame those who have tried to save their fellow man? In the first place, you have a request to make, so you can say whatever you want. Never mind.

"...... Sorry.

But just one thing. But just one thing. The mistress and the guild are not your enemies. You are an S-rank and belong to a more important party. If you need help, I'll accommodate and assist you.

　Riff sneers and lets it go.

　This little girl is too reliable ......!

But the man in the mask was Jide, as I suspected.

Hmm?　What do you mean?

　Apparently, Riff's ears could hear what he was saying in Stillbeats. Even though it happened just a few minutes ago, he has a good ear.

　He seems to have a handle on the situation.

There's already talk of the Empress choosing to become the Emperor. "There's already talk of her choosing the Empress, the monster who defeated the entire Imperial Army, from the Zero to the Tenth Army.

'Huh. It's on the news?

　I hurriedly checked my adventurer card.

　But Riff shook his head and denied it.

"There's no one on that battlefield who has the time to take pictures. It's only a rumor.

I see.

''If the position of emperor is prepared, I can't blame myself for being pulled out of the palace. You have other things to do today, don't you?

　Riff says, looking like he's realizing something.

　What else do you need ......?

　Perhaps you think I'm going to go to the Wayra Empire because of the previous words 'being pulled out'?

'No, I'm in the guild, though?'

"...... Mm?　But that's the Lord of Wayra's Empire, isn't it?　Even with all the shady business going on in the countries under its control, it is still a very powerful place.

I know, I'm learning a lot.

　When he's not being asked to do so, he also goes to the guild's library. I don't just have a lot of time on my hands.

'But you still have to go?'

''From my point of view, the guild is a comfortable place to live. As long as I don't change my mind, I'm going to keep my place in the guild.

Hmmm, that's funny. Every person the Empire has tried to hire has left.

Yeah, well, they pulled a lot of stuff out of you.

Yes. That's why I love you so much.

　Riff looks at me with big eyes.

　I'm kind of embarrassed.

'Not before I change my mind, you know. I might get pulled out of there one of these days.

You will make every effort not to be snatched away. Besides, I'm glad that you've only once said no. That's all.

...... Okay.

　Riff is honestly revealing his emotions.

　Somehow, for the first time, I felt like I was getting a glimpse of his true feelings.

'That's true. You're in trouble, my dear?

What?

　It's a sudden change of subject.

　I nodded my head, unable to think of any words that had been omitted.

I told you, people have seen you kissing the Empress and the story is spreading. The news should have reached Quena by now. He has multiple sources of information.

"Haha, that's scary. ...... I'm supposed to be at Kåñëa's afterwards to eat some food that Sheila made.

You look terrible.

　Riff chuckles and laughs at every other person.

'Be a pain in the ass, .......'

You don't hate it when he says that.

Well, yeah. I don't mind.

　He nodded at Riff's sharp words.

　It means he's favored. That in itself is a heart-warming feeling. And it's such a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl.

　Who can hate it?

Then it's your responsibility to accept it. "Then it's your responsibility to accept it.

　The riffs are bleeping!　And thumbs up.

　The little girl, who seemed to be saying good things but was enjoying herself, was still somewhat hateful.

'Oh, and. I have a request for the Charisma Party.

Request?

Mm, the Guild will do the talking.

From the guild?　What do you mean?

A request that even the most prominent S-ranked and A-ranked parties have failed to fulfill. --This is a request from the Elven Guild Chapter.

　Riff said as he took out the request form.

'Yeah, I'll take the request if that's what you're asking.

　I voluntarily accept the request.

　If it was the old Order, I would have hated to accept the job.

　But now it's a pleasure. The more I can say I love it, the more I can say I love it.
