「Oi, Shion, you’ve come at just the right time! A request that’s to your liking has come up!」

「Shion, I’ve heard an interesting story. Won’t you come with me after this!」

「Shion-san, I want to borrow your strength!」

At the same time they entered the Guild, Shion and Nino were simultaneously surrounded by the Adventurers.

They were receiving too much attention in a good way.

Although there were a few unclear points in his personal history, he was a Magician that possessed talent that was second to none.

And accompanying him was a Maid Knight of exceptional ability.

It was quite a substantial reaction even when the two of them had first appeared in this Guild.

After all, two people that possessed unprecedented ability and talent even if one looked throughout the entire country, let alone the Adventurer’s Guild, had appeared at once.

Furthermore, their appearances weren’t bad, and even the equipment that they possessed were first-class goods.

There was an uproar as to just who in the world they were.

Though, if it was just that, the interest would probably fade immediately.

It was because those that indulged in their talent and weapons and then died from it wasn’t uncommon.

Those that did that would generally boast about it, and die without knowing their place.

However, Shion and Nino weren’t like that.

The requests they accepted mainly subjugation-type requests that went against monsters. They even willingly accepted the ones that others avoided, and would always come back after splendidly resolving them.

Those actions that could be seen as noble were more than enough to gather their trust.

Of course, Shion didn’t have even a fragment of that sort of aim.

If monsters acted violently and amplified damages, then no-good rumors would circulate.

In other words, people that would elevate the Demon King as the cause would probably come out in great numbers, and they would probably say things like “there’s no mistake that the Demon King has revived” or “it’s because of the Demon King”. In that case, as the Demon King himself, that wasn’t something he could endure.

Therefore, he only had to crush them before that happened. Even in his original objective of carrying out intelligence gathering, the social status of an Adventurer was optimum position.

Because of that, being called things like noble or a hero was extraordinarily troubling, but looking at it from the surrounding people’s point of view, Shion was noble Adventurer that couldn’t just ignore people suffering from monsters, held enough calibre to be recognized by a Maid Knight as her master, and was undoubtedly a young man with abundant promise that possessed talent of a record high rank SSS.

On top of that, since his appearance wasn’t bad, there were a lot of female Adventurers that though of calling dibs on him at once. Furthermore, there were extraordinarily many people that schemed to have themselves accepted into their party or get the two of them into their own party.

The result of that was situations like the current one.

「Yeah, un, for the time being, could you let us through?」

When Shion said that, the crowd of people that surrounded the two immediately split and created a path.

「Un, thank you.」

Shion and Nino walked to the counter at the back.

Compared to the acceptance counter that already had people lined up at it, the counter dedicated to reports was empty as always. Shion made a gentle greeting to the staff member that was sitting there.

「Ahh, hello. I’ve come to make a report a Goblin extermination but.」

A subjugation report.
