“Oh, everyone. Do you have a request today as well?”

“Okay. Is this the request to subdue monsters?”

I confirmed my request while looking at the now familiar face.

After the incident with Guynis, she suddenly felt like a receptionist.

For some reason, he himself seemed to have strong hopes.

Strangely, only the requests that fit our party came and were left out in advance, so I have no complaints.

“Ah, Airi. How do you feel about this request?”

huh?

What?

I was puzzled by the appearance of the receptionist speaking in a low voice so as not to be heard by colleagues who were talking about what kind of request they would receive.

Why on earth are you asking only me?

Since he didn’t seem to want to show it to others, I secretly read it.

[ Announcement ]

[ While investigating the population of monsters around Aben, which had increased rapidly over the past month, traces of a dungeon were discovered in a cave.

The soldiers attempted to enter, but were stopped by some kind of magic circle whose principles were unknown.

Just as I was about to give up and go back, a female soldier went missing.

Half a day later, she was found unconscious.

According to her testimony, it is believed to be a dungeon that only women can enter alone.

Since further testimony could not be heard due to the party’s vehement refusal, we ask for cooperation from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Recruit one of the strongest female adventurers possible.

Lord of Aven, Alfonso Aven. ]

I read the paper slowly.

…Apparently, they needed a female adventurer rather than a male adventurer.

And just one person.

“The strongest female adventurer around here is Airi.”

“Then why are you talking secretly?”

Honestly, I didn’t understand.

No, you can just speak comfortably.

Is there any need to tell me secretly?

“···Well, a few of my colleagues.”

You know?

When the receptionist said that, I unconsciously accepted it.

surely.

Those guys, I don’t know why they’re so sensitive.

In the early days of my life as an adventurer, I only brought in requests that seemed dangerous.

Requests that anyone can see are suspicious, so you can be sure you will see H-scenes.

As I went with only those requests, I suddenly developed a tendency to not accept the requests that were in my hands.

Maybe it was around that time.

There was a feeling among them that I didn’t know much about the world.

By the time I noticed that, my doubts had already turned into confidence.

From then on, he started to tease me.

It’s not like being tied down or obsessed.

···What should I say?

It’s like discovering a child entering a club without knowing where they are going.

So I blindfolded him and quickly took him out.

I developed such a strange protective tendency.

I thought it would be okay for Lisbeth to recruit me when I noticed that and gave up on trying to select the quests with my own hands.

What did I hear from these two people?

Before I knew it, I had joined the ranks.

There is no way they would accept a request like this even if they said they would.

“Ugh, I’m not a kid. I don’t know why I’m so sensitive.”

“···I think I know.”

“Huh? Can you tell me?”

“If you don’t notice that, there’s no point in saying it.”

What on earth are you talking about?

To signify acceptance of the request, I took the notice and stuffed it in my pocket.

“Anyway, I’m giving this to you because I think Airi is the strongest, but…”

“I understand. Are you telling me to be careful? Anyway, why are you so worried about other people’s safety? I don’t think anything will happen.”

“Now that you say that, I’m even more worried.”

No, really.

···I can’t act?

Why on earth does even the receptionist know everything?

Of course, I had no intention of being careful.

On the contrary, I was even thinking that a dangerous situation would arise.

When I looked in the mirror, I definitely had a cold impression, right?

I briefly put my hand to my face.

I touched the soft cheeks, but I couldn’t quite figure out what kind of expression I was making.

No matter how much I think about it, it seems expressionless.

Did his face relax when he heard the words “women only” and “entry alone”?

“Please be careful…”

“Don’t worry. I’m pretty strong?”

I left behind the receptionist who was looking at me with concern and approached my colleagues who were selecting requests.

“Hmm, then this is it for today?”

“That would be great! What do you think, Sister Airi?”

I looked through the request form Jupiter gave me.

Well, it’s a request to deal with the dryads that have multiplied in the forest.

It’s quite interesting.

A dryer.

Is it a plant-type monster with the appearance of a woman?

Dryad is also an interesting quest, but unfortunately I want to postpone it for now.

This is a more delicious request.

“Well, how about taking a break today?”

“···Okay? Let’s rest?”

Colleagues are taken aback by the sudden suggestion of a break.

It’s definitely random.

However, this is the only way…!

A request that must be received alone.

I have to somehow get rid of the three people who always stick around.

“Okay. Now that I think about it, I’ve been running non-stop until now. It’s good to take a break once in a while. People can’t run all the time.”

“It’s not wrong, but…”

“Yes! We need rest! We’ve always been on missions without even resting properly. There are times when people need to rest!”

“No, I didn’t do much work?”

Lisbeth’s minor protests were ignored.

In things like this, momentum is the most important thing!

“People become weak because they work non-stop! That is definitely the reason why Jupiter was brainwashed!”

“Now, sister? Why am I suddenly…”

He diverted Jupiter’s attention by exposing his dark history.

Actually, the cause is probably good.

The only thing that matters is the result of being brainwashed and attacking the same side.

I had no regrets about the situation, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Even if you attack your opponent, you create a reason to rest!

“Then shall we rest?”

···!

Did it work!

Yuna took the bait!

“What you said is not wrong. Well, it’s not like I don’t have enough money right now… I think it’s okay to take a day off.”

“Hmm, if Yuna says so… Well, will it be okay for a day or so?”

“Okay. If it’s decided, take a break right away…”

“So, what should we play?”

uh?

Now, wait a minute.

Is something going strange?

“Me! Me! I heard there’s a cafe that’s popular these days. I want to go there!”

“I want to go to church for the first time in a long time. It would be nice to check on the children and see if they are doing well.”

No, wait.

Are we going to take a break together?

“I see… What do you think, sister?”

“Well, that is…”

Big trouble, big trouble, big trouble!

As a result of trying to somehow find time to spend alone, I was in danger of becoming more attached to him rather than leaving him.

“···.”

Before I knew it, Yuna was looking at me with sharp eyes.

Well, come to think of it, Yuna was smart.

I thought it was best not to lie in front of Yuna.

Has everyone already been caught?

Soon, Yuna smiled brightly and turned around to face the two people.

“I think my sister is a little tired. Let’s play together next time, then shall we rest comfortably today?”

“Hmm. Aren’t you going to the cafe?”

“Let’s go next time. Sometimes you need alone time.”

what.

The story is quickly progressing without me.

After boiling Lisbeth and whispering something to Jupiter to convince him, Yuna approached me.

“I don’t know what you want to do, sister.”

“Well, I don’t know. I don’t know what you mean…”

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing. You’re my sister. . . . Instead, should you come back soon?”

Because I’m worried.

Yuna smiled softly and whispered softly to me.

Oh, didn’t you get caught?

thank god.

I was really appalled.

I don’t think he understood the details, but he seemed to have already figured out that I was trying to do something on my own.

I can’t believe you noticed that in an instant.

She’s not like Yuna, a dog who trusts people very easily.

I really don’t know.

I have a good sense of humor in strange places.

···Is the fact that I can’t understand it accurately because Yuna is a person who trusts people well?

“Okay. Today is a break. Let’s do what we want to do!”

“···Ugh, it’s not a good idea to go to a cafe alone.”

“Then can I come with you?”

“Really?! But… Yuna must have something she wants to do too.”

“I see. I want to chat with Lisbeth while eating delicious snacks. Is that not possible?”

“···Okay! Instead, I’ll buy it. Let’s go quickly!”

Yuna and Lisbeth leave the guild in an instant.

Probably going to a cafe.

“Okay then, Sister Airi. I will also excuse myself.”

“Yes, yes. Have a nice trip.”

Jupiter also slowly left the guild and started heading towards the church.

It was a holiday for the hero’s party, decided in an instant.

“Well, that’s how it happened. How do I get to this place?”

“I will give you a map. . . . Hero, please be careful. If something happens, I think I will be questioned first . . .”

“Yes, yes. Be careful.”

I obviously didn’t do anything bad.

I felt a chill that I didn’t know why, as if I had made a mistake and was hiding it.

···No matter how late it is, I have to return within today.

As time passed, I realized that all I had to do was just say that I would take a break tomorrow.

At that time, we had already set off for the dungeon.

Well, it’s okay because it was successful.
