“Did I go too far?” I asked.
“You did! Have some restraint!” the other three replied in unison.
I reflected on my actions while glancing over at Kuruta, who had nothing to do after I’d stolen the spotlight. I shouldn’t have done everything by myself—and I had to take better care not to destroy the forest next time.
“Confirming the delivery of ten ogre molars!”
The receptionist smiled cheerfully as she accepted our proof of the kills. Well, at least the job had been completed safely. The ogres hadn’t been where the job request had said they would be, so we had searched the whole forest for them. It had been quite an effort. The hunt itself had been pretty quick, but the search had taken half the day.
“The ogre den was in a completely different location than what was written on the request. This is one of the requests the guild regularly puts out, right? Please correct it the next time you post it,” Nino said.
“Huh? Where was the den, exactly?” the receptionist asked.
“Here. It wasn’t in the north of the forest.” Nino took out her map and pointed to where we had found the ogres.
The receptionist immediately changed her documents to reflect the information. “This should do. Thank you for the intel!”
“No problem. It’s an adventurer’s duty to work with the guild.”
“Still, it’s a bit concerning that this keeps happening. The guild rarely ever got these things wrong before,” Kuruta said with a frown.
Right around the time I had settled things with my sister and Kuruta had officially joined our party, this kind of inconsistency in monster habitat had started occurring more. According to the others, such a thing was almost unheard of until now. As one would expect of the guild in an adventurer hub like Rajah, they were normally on top of their information.
“Yes, the guild is aware that things have been abnormal around Rajah recently. We plan on calling experts to come and investigate things soon.”
“Does that mean someone from the research lab will be coming here?” Kuruta asked.
“Yes. There should be an investigation escort request posted soon.”
“Seriously?” Rouga muttered with a frown.
Kuruta and Nino both looked gloomy as well. It seemed the three of them weren’t too fond of these researchers.
“What’s the research lab?” I asked.
“Their official name is the Monster Research Laboratory of the Adventurers Guild. It’s a gathering of monster-obsessed maniacs,” Kuruta explained.
“Monster-obsessed maniacs...”
“Yup! They only care about monsters, making them a real pain to guard.”
“Last time, one jumped headfirst into a wyvern nest,” Nino added.
“Right! The whole herd came after us. I thought we were done for!” Rouga said.
“The one I escorted tried to hold a conversation with an ogre king after stripping half naked,” Kuruta said, sighing.
“Yeah...they do that a lot with demihuman species. Something about attempting communication.”
Hmm... Based on what everyone was saying, these researchers sounded like a crazy group. If the escort request came to us, we’d have to consider things carefully before accepting. It would largely depend on the reward, but it wasn’t like we were struggling for funds right now.
The receptionist looked at our expressions and smiled awkwardly. “Just to be clear, there’s no doubt they’re professionals in their field. They’ve contributed enormously to the monster encyclopedias and the guild’s operation...but it’s true they can be a little eccentric.”
Ah, so she didn’t deny that part. Well, researchers did tend to be a little odd. Back at home, Ciel looked like a rational person, but there was something off with her common sense. Like when she stayed up for a full week, then spent two whole days sleeping. Or when she blew up half the house by trying to pour magic into already-charged magic stones.
“It sounds like it’d be best not to go near them if we can avoid it,” I said.
“Yeah,” Rouga agreed. “All right! Now that work’s over, let’s go get a meal!”
“There’s a good place I go to regularly on the south street. Interested?” Kuruta offered.
“Kuruta’s personal recommendation? Sounds great!”
We had just left the guild to head to the restaurant when I felt a gaze on me. I turned to see Raiza standing behind me.
“Oh. Hey, sis!”
“Long time no see.”
“Long time? We saw each other just yesterday.”
“Really? I don’t recall.”
Raiza was blatantly feigning ignorance. We’d had this exact conversation word for word just yesterday—and every other day since she moved to town. Whenever my party came to the guild to give our report, she was there. Was she keeping an eye on me?
We had decided to keep our background a secret, but it still wasn’t good for her to loiter around the guild. Regardless of her Swordmaster title, Raiza was pretty, so her mere presence garnered a lot of attention, and anyone with a trained eye would be able to see the quality of her armor was on another level.
“You guys won’t mind if I tag along on your outing, right?” she asked.
“I don’t mind,” Rouga said. “Pretty ladies are always welcome!”
“I’m fine with it too. As long as Sieg and Kuruta don’t mind.”
“I don’t have a problem with it—”
“But I do!”
What was almost a unanimous agreement ended up being heavily opposed by a sullen Kuruta. She stepped before Raiza without showing any fear of the Swordmaster.
“Why do you have to join every one of our after-parties? It’s fine once in a while, but you’ve been coming to all of them recently!”
“I’m not causing you any trouble, am I?”
“You being there means we can’t relax and talk about things as a party. Everyone has to watch what they say.”
When she put it that way, that probably was true for Nino and Rouga. Raiza was my family, but she was still the Swordmaster. Everyone was getting used to having her around, but they were still far from relaxing around her. I would be nervous if I was in the presence of someone so much more important than me too. But I couldn’t figure out why Kuruta had emphasized “as a party” so much. Did she actually care more about teamwork than I thought?
“I-In that case, I’ll join your party!” Raiza stammered.
“Um, that’s out of the question. The difference in our strength is just too great. Please be more realistic,” Kuruta replied.
If Raiza joined our party, we’d end up relying on her for everything. Besides, the whole point of me coming here was to get away from her. If she joined us, it would completely defeat the purpose.
“You can say that again,” Rouga agreed. “We already struggle to keep up with Sieg.”
“Right. If you joined us, there’d be nothing left for us to do,” Nino said, nodding.
Raiza grumbled wordlessly.
“In the first place, you’re not even an adventurer, remember?” Kuruta pointed out, dealing the finishing blow.
Raiza’s shoulders shook. “Hmph. That may be true!”
“So it’s even more impossible.”
“Fine, I get it. Then let’s do it this way.” Raiza suddenly grabbed my right hand, pulling me toward her. “Sieg will come eat with me. It’ll be a private, family-only meal.”
“Ah! That’s unfair!” Kuruta protested.
“If you’re allowed to reject outsiders, then we’re allowed to reject outsiders too. There’s nothing unfair about it!”
“I won’t accept that! Help me, Nino!” she cried.
“Right away!”
Kuruta and Nino both grabbed my left hand and started pulling me like it was a game of tug-of-war. Ow! Stop that!
I looked to Rouga for help. But he just folded his arms and nodded with a satisfied look.
“Nice. Very nice. This is what youth should be.”
“No, it isn’t! Save me!” I yelled.
Ignoring my screams, Raiza and Kuruta continued fighting for a while after that.
“Phew... Yesterday was hell,” I muttered as I rolled my shoulders.
Those three really hadn’t held back. I’d honestly thought my arm would come off. But while Raiza had her reasons, I couldn’t figure out why Kuruta was so insistent on inviting me out to eat.
“Hey, Sieg! Sorry about yesterday.”
“If you actually feel that way, you should have saved me, Rouga.”
He laughed loudly. “It’s not every day you get to have three pretty girls grabbing you, you know? I thought you’d enjoy the experience.”
“Not when one of them is my sister! And I doubt Kuruta and Nino had that kind of intention either.”
Rouga shook his head with an exasperated sigh, then corrected me with a disappointed look. “No, no. I agree Nino was just following Kuruta’s orders, but Kuruta was serious. She was imprisoned by an evil demon when a gallant hero came to her rescue. It’s only natural to fall for that hero.”
“But it was my sister who defeated the hydra.”
