Henriette and others returned to Libert.
“Still, Leon-han, going home ahead is cold-hearted, huh” (Kanae)
“Wanted to enjoy loli-shota on the way back too” (Tina)
“No matter how you think, it’s your fault……” (Henriette)
To Kanae and Tina’s words, Henriette sighed. Just like the way there, they had intended to return together by carriage, but by the time they noticed, he had already left the village. Only a message saying “Going back ahead” was left with the inn staff. This time was merely for relaxation purposes, but since unexpected circumstances had occurred, she headed straight to the Adventurer’s Guild upon arrival in the town, also to report it.
“Henriette-san! We’ve heard from the Regina side. It really must’ve been difficult. To think there was a Queen Tarantula” (Maria)
Maria, the receptionist who was close with them, quickly noticed and called out to them.
“But it’s great that Henriette-san and the others were there. If not for you all, a promising boy’s life would have been lost” (Maria)
Henriette and others exchanged glances unintentionally.
“What’s wrong? Ah, of course, regarding this matter, Henriette-san and the others will be given a special reward” (Maria)
“……Can I ask one thing? Will that also be paid to Leon-han?” (Kanae)
“Eh? No, at this point…… R-right, of course! Since it was a more dangerous request than expected, we should consider increasing the reward……” (Maria)
“No no, that’s not it” (Kanae)
Kanae shook her head.
Apparently, the guild believed that their party had exterminated the spider swarm. They had properly conveyed it in the village as well… but it seems they weren’t believed.
“Just as Henri predicted” (Tina)
“Yes. I’m glad we came” (Henriette)
The reason they went straight to the guild was precisely because they were worried about this kind of situation. Henriette clearly declared.
“This matter, the majority of the credit goes to him” (Henriette)
“Huh? I heard there was a Queen Tarantula, Big Tarantulas, and many Tarantulas… For a D-rank adventurer, even one Tarantula is a heavy burden opponent…” (Maria)
“That Queen Tarantula was also defeated by him” (Henriette)
For a moment, time seemed to stop and Maria’s movements halted.
“…Y-you’re not joking… it doesn’t seem so. Setting Kanae-san aside, Henriette-san isn’t the type to say such things” (Maria)
“Isn’t that cruel, setting me aside like that?” (Kanae)
“It’s because of your usual behavior, Kanae” (Henriette)
Saying that flatly to the protesting Kanae, Henriette informed Maria.
“Therefore, please give the entire reward to him. Also, if possible, A-rank… no, if that’s difficult, even B-rank is fine, but I suggest he be promoted as soon as possible” (Henriette)

After seeing off Henriette and others as they left, receptionist Maria was bewildered.
“Did she intentionally refuse the reward for that boy’s sake? No, if that were the case, she could’ve just declined to receive it. She wouldn’t need to exaggerate the boy’s abilities” (Maria)
To begin with, Maria knew well that Henriette wasn’t the kind of person to tell such lies.
“That means… did he really defeat the Queen Tarantula…? He’s about ten years old, right?” (Maria)
To tell the truth, even though he had only visited once recently, that boy adventurer had become a topic among the receptionists. Not only was he a D-rank adventurer at that age, but also quite the beautiful boy. For them, who usually dealt with nothing but rough men, he was like a refreshing presence.
Even if there hadn’t been the trouble of him being accosted by adventurers and saved by this guild’s ace, Henriette-tachi, he probably would’ve become a rumor anyway. Moreover, he had an adorable slime sitting on his head like a hat, and also brought along cute beastkin children. There was no way he wouldn’t stand out.
“When he grows up, he will undoubtedly become a wonderful young noble. …Wait, I shouldn’t be daydreaming like this right now.” (Maria)
Maria thought she should report this to her superiors. However, unfortunately, her boss was rather stubborn. While advice from an A-rank adventurer couldn’t be dismissed, they likely wouldn’t believe her right away.
“Well, I guess I’ll wait and see. Whether the person Henriette-san speaks of is truly that capable or not.” (Maria)

After that, Leon the boy took on several requests.
For example,
Detection of a goblin nest
Gathering medicinal herbs needed for potion-making
Searching for missing artwork
These were all requests that low-rank adventurers would take on, so Maria thought it would be difficult to gauge the boy’s abilities with these. But then…
“I went ahead and wiped out the goblins.” (Leon)
“But there were over a hundred of them!?” (Maria)
“Some of them looked like higher-tier ones.” (Leon)
“Wait, wasn’t that a Goblin Lord!?” (Maria)
“I brought the herbs back.” (Leon)
“How many did you bring!?” (Maria)
“About a thousand? You said to bring as many as possible.” (Leon)
“There’s a limit to these things! And these are all advanced herbs!?” (Maria)
“I found the bandit hideout. I also captured the bandits.” (Leon)
“Why can you do all that as a side task!?” (Maria)
“To retrieve the artwork, we had to defeat them anyway, right?” (Leon)
“Call for reinforcements!” (Maria)
Maria was certain.
“It was real…” (Maria)
