So far, they have destroyed all of Gilmouth's operations. Well, I'd be surprised if we can't kill them, since we've heard all about them. The rest are number 4 and 5, but I think I'll give up on them since I've already lost the forced-request mission because of the rank-up of the keystone of the mission.

"As far as I'm concerned, the rank issue is important and I hope you'll take it, but it's certainly not a topic we should be talking about here. I am sorry."

You're not giving up on the mandatory request procedure, are you?

I hope you understand. Are we done?

No. No. We still need to talk. It's not a bad story for Yuta, so please listen to me."

They're going to keep going. A heart that won't give up! That's what's important. If I hadn't gotten the information from Sylphy, I might have accepted it, especially if the next mission would have been a disaster.

"Okay. What is it?"

"Because of my prejudice against the genie magician and because of me, Yuta-dono has been unable to form a party. So I told him about the situation and prepared a party that would accept Yuta. We will be able to search for things that have been impossible for him so far. These are the men!

Guilmouth exaggeratedly pointed to the back of the room, and five beautiful women appeared. Guilmouth must have been crazy to stage this kind of performance at an apology meeting. Leaving aside the question, they are indeed very beautiful women.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why would Valkyrie accept a guy like that?

I'd definitely be more useful to you.

God is dead!

"No! The sisters will be defiled."

...... That's a lot more noise than when Guilmouth bowed out. But they really are beautiful. If I didn't know any better, I would have followed them.

But Sylphy says the leader of the Valkyries is quite ambitious. He had a wonderful smile on his face and was secretly discussing with Guilmas about how to take advantage of me.

You must be Yuta. The guildmaster told me about you. It must have been hard for you. The guildmaster regrets what happened to you and we are willing to help you in any way we can. Let's work together from now on.

...... wow. She has a beautiful smile like the Virgin, plus her spirit-class good looks. Why are you an adventurer? Is this guy ambitious? I looked at Sylphy with a question, and she told me that she understood my question.

"That leader only considers his collaborators as his servants, except for those who are useful to him," he said. He has a perfect facade, though."

Servant...... female king type, huh? That would be in demand. The other members are pretty too, though not as pretty as the leader. If possible, I would have liked to play the role of dashing to the rescue when this party is in trouble.

When I didn't answer, he smiled more and said something to me.

"Is something wrong?"

Yeah. Deep down inside, my good looks have won you over! I think he's thinking.

"No. There's no need for that.

Uh-huh. For a moment there, I thought I saw Prajna in the leader's face. ...... hallucination? I rub my eyes and look again, still smiling like the Virgin.

What did you say?

"So, I don't need it, thank you."

It feels so good. I heard a similar line in an anime. It's like denying someone who is absolutely sure. Now I know how it feels a little. I think I'll get into the habit. 

"Hey, is he crazy? He turned down the Valkyrie's invitation."

"I can't forgive you for refusing my sister's invitation."  

"Oh, by the way, his friends are a boy and a girl. Maybe he's a Loli-shota? Otherwise, there's no way he would have turned down the Valkyrie's invitation."

"Oh, by the way, there are rumors that they dragged other girls into the labyrinth too."

You mean Mel? She's not a little girl, she's an adult. But you know what? I've been told she wants to ask Sylphy to bury the whole Adventurers' Guild.

"I'm not a loli or a shorty. I like adult women. I just said no because I already have friends and I don't need them."

I wouldn't abandon my friends.

Me, too. I'd beat you up and spit on you, too."

..................That's the one. You can't convince me with words. If I cut off one of his limbs, would he listen to me a little? While I was thinking about taking out the magic saw, the leader of the Valkyries spoke up again.

"Of course, we will welcome Yuta-san's friends into the Valkyrie, don't worry.

The leader with a smiling face. This guy is a pain in the ass because he stands on the side of complete goodwill. If I say the wrong thing, I'll be the villain.

Which is fine, because you're already a villain at ....... I can't tolerate the spread of an unacknowledged proclivity.

"I'm honored, but my companions are the apprentices I'm training to be spiritists. I'm training at a lower level now, so I can't waste my time to bring an A-ranked party along with me. I don't know what the other adventurers will say. Don't you think so, too?

This is a tough situation for an individual. I'm sure those jealous adventurers would be glad to have me on their side. Sure enough, the adventurers started to make a fuss.

"Of course. A Valkyrie is too good for the lower ranks. Come to think of it, we're stuck at the twenty-sixth level. I wonder if anyone can help us..."

"Oh, yeah. We're going to need some beautiful help to get us through the swamp!

"Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me. What use is a Valkyrie to a small fry that struggles in the swamp! We deserve help to get through the undead layer, which we have trouble with."

"Screw you. The Valkyries are mine."

Shut up. I'll kill you!

Oh. The fire was ignited more easily than expected, and a fistfight broke out. The popularity of the Valkyries is even greater than I expected.

"Quiet!

The loud exhortation of Guilmouth, who had been in the air for some time, echoed through the guild. The clamor stopped. This is the first time I've seen Guilmouth in a Guild-like place.

"I'm sorry. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuta. I'm sure they will help you. I know you have a lot of work to do with your children, so I think it would be a good idea to ask for their help, don't you?"

Guillmuth is quick to recommend Valkyrie. He's stubborn.

"We can't have our best people training children at the lower levels," he said. I don't want this to bring me bad publicity again, and I'm sorry, but I must decline. Valkyries, I thank you for your kindness. If possible, please lend your help to those who are in trouble besides me.

Yes, yes. If you get a chance, please contact us at ......."

The Valkyrie leader nodded his head in puzzlement at my sincere and beautiful request.

"Me! Help me."

No, it's me. I need the power of the Valkyries!

The adventurers who had been listening to the conversation started to make a commotion again, but were calmed down by Gilmas' loud exhortation once again. The Valkyrie exits with a slight twitch. This was the most difficult foe I have ever faced.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you, Yuta-dono. It was none of my business.

GILMAS. Your mouth seems calm, but you can't hide the expression on your face. His eyes are too sharp and scary.

"I appreciate your concern, but a word of advice would have saved the Valkyries a lot of trouble.

"Oh. I'm sorry for what I did to them. I'll apologize again later. So, Mr. Yuta. Are you sure that Yuta is dissatisfied with the current situation of the genie wizards?"

"Yes. At least, I would like to avoid being tangled up and discriminated against when I try to join the guild.

I think I can help you with that.

Enter number five. This guy really never gives up, does he? Since things haven't gone so well, why doesn't he think about starting over?

Oh, he doesn't have the time. The orders for the materials for the labyrinth and the Shinryaku-so are flooding in. And a lot of important people. Their necks must be cold. Maybe I can give them a scarf or something. Would they be pleased?

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, how about holding a training course for necromancers at the Adventurers' Guild in the labyrinthine city? If you are a good spiritualist, your students will grow up to be excellent, and the reputation of spiritualists will change. Of course, the guild will provide the reward. Let's assume that each lecture lasts two hours, and we will pay you one million elts. What do you think?"

The adventurers around us are in an uproar. Some say, "Why is he the only one who gets a good deal? I don't think they'll envy him since he's turned them all down. ...... I guess it's not a matter of logic.

"That's a wonderful story."

Unless there's more to it.

"Oh. I'm glad to hear you say that. Eltina, the contract.

Guilmouth is overjoyed and asks Ms. Ertina for a contract, and several documents are quickly presented to her. You've prepared well, haven't you?

"Yes, I know it's only a formality, but just in case I need your signature. This will make it less difficult for the necromancer. That's great."

Guilmouth nodded in satisfaction. I don't mind if you don't mind if I ignore the whole thing even if you sign it, but there's no need to be a criminal. As I begin to look over the contract, Guillmas speaks to me.

Apparently, he can't tell me not to look over the contract, so he wants to distract me with conversation. For some reason, he complimented me on my fluency with the written word. Was he hoping for the possibility that he might not be able to read?

That would be too foolish. Well, I can read it by cheat, but I wouldn't have been able to read it if I didn't understand the language.

"Guilmouth. What do you mean when you say that the guild selects the people who teach here?"

"Yes, that's right. It is dangerous to teach the arts carelessly. However, it would be difficult for Yuta to decide who to teach by himself, so the guild will act on his behalf.

Then they would send people who were convenient for Guilmouth.

"So, what if I tell you that you are not allowed to teach anyone other than those selected by this guild? Are you not allowed to take an apprentice for yourself?"

If you find someone you would like to take as an apprentice, just report it to the guild and there will be no problem. We will only conduct a formal screening.

That's not in the contract, so I guess they'll just shrug it off when you sign it.

"But you're in trouble. Restrictions on movement from the labyrinth city. Acceptance of the guild's request to collect materials in the labyrinth. The contract is automatically renewed for three years. To break this contract, I need permission from the guild. All of these conditions are so unfavorable to me that I cannot sign the contract. What does this have to do with the course?"

The artifice is that the conditions against me are placed inconspicuously in places where the eye can easily slide over them, and the sentences before and after them are phrased in a plausible manner, making them difficult to understand. Also, the font is too small.

...... It's no big deal. It's just a formality, so just sign it and you're free to do whatever you want."

I don't think so, no matter how hard you try. The adventurers around here are getting restless. Are they nervous because all their plans have been ruined?

"It's a contract, you can't just say that. I don't trust anything Gilmas says or does. Please pretend that this whole thing never happened.

I pretended to get up from my seat, and in a hurry, Guillmas started to say something crazy.

"Wait a minute. I have a request for a nomination. My own nomination."

I refuse. I may accept the nomination if we can reach a settlement that satisfies me, but under the circumstances, I am not inclined to accept the nomination."

If I had to accept such a request, I would accept a rank-up with a mandatory request. Guilmouth is finally going crazy. Maybe Guilmouth is in more trouble than I imagined.
