“Welcome〜♪ Now then, present to me the unknown item!” (Guild Receptionist)

I wonder if this Onee-san is truly all right. Even now, perhaps we should reconsider.

“I watched the video. The drop from the ‘Goblin King,’ of course, you retrieved it, did you not?” (Guild Receptionist)

“The ‘Goblin King’?” (Kouta)

“Ah, the one Kouta called the Goblin Chieftain.” (Mira)

“It was amusing, so Mira and I decided to leave it alone.” (Haruka)

“Thanks to that, the viewers’ reactions were excellent.” (Emilia)

“Yes, it was surprisingly well received.” (Mira)

If the two of you had noticed, could you not have told me? Is it not the duty of comrades to correct their leader’s mistakes?

“Everyone except Master was aware of it. It is common sense that the one called the Chief in a settlement would be the King.” (Muze)

Everyone in the party nodded at Muze’s words.

May I perhaps sulk a little?

“This is the very quality of Muze’s Master.” (Muze)

Are those who nod along warm-hearted, or are they cold hearted? There is room for debate on that, is there not?

“You must take care, or your stomach will twist from laughter.” (Muze)

There is no room for debate. Muze, you are guilty. You are most certainly a willful offender.

“Muze, three days without water.” (Kouta)

“Such a thing is nothing to fear. I have already promised Mira and Emilia that they will give me plenty. More than that, watching Master’s face, which looks far more pained than Muze who is being punished, hurts far more. Unless you compose your expression a little, Muze cannot continue her mischief.” (Muze)

I have scolded Muze many times before. There were even occasions when I imposed punishment. Muze accepted all of it without complaint. She truly was an obedient and good child. Muze…

“Master ought to learn a little from Shizuka. Look at her. This face that shows no remorse even after appraising something without permission.” (Muze)

“Wh-what are you talking about?” (Shizuka)

Suspicious gazes gathered upon the guild lady. Her eyes darted about in panic.

“With this level of leniency, Muze can do as she pleases. Yet looking at Master’s face truly pains Muze’s heart.” (Muze)

After recording someone while sleeping? After wasting water by flushing the toilet out of thirst? After emptying the stockpiled water? You even chased me with scissors once, did you not? Does your heart truly ache? Setting that aside, is this Onee-san really alright?

“Um, well, please keep this between us. I was doing it under the orders of my bald superior. I am not doing it anymore, truly. That baldy has already been arrested. I almost got blamed for everything. He even claimed that I had acted on my own without any written order. That bald fool. I wish he would just die.” (Shizuka)

It truly was a dreadful workplace. After that strike, quite a few people were demoted or had their pay reduced, and some were even arrested. I remember seeing that on the news. So, that infamous superior was indeed that person.

“More importantly, was it really all right for you to reveal the matter about the skill?” (Kouta)

“That part is fine. Once a proper databank is made, the value of the appraisal skill will fall. There are also more appraisal items now. The danger ranking will probably drop before long.” (Shizuka)

So, that mysterious ranking actually changes.

“Kouta, the first and second places never change. The only question is what comes in third. Do not misunderstand.” (Mira)

Mira, so that is how things are.

“If the third place becomes Tamer, Muze will be in trouble.” (Muze)

“With this event, debuff-related types have probably gained attention.” (Kouta)

Both Muze’s predictions and Haruka’s reasoning make my headache. Since we are comrades, we can see the usefulness of each skill. That is surely the origin of Haruka’s perspective.

“Well then, what about the appraisal?” (Mira)

“We have already reserved the appraisal chamber.” (Shizuka, Mira, Emilia)

Shizuka-san, who slumped forward with her shoulders drooping, can she truly be trusted?
