Episode 187

“Ha~. I’ll be thrilled, really.”

Maria crossed her legs and nervously brushed her hair. A hideous aura that could not be easily approached was emanating from her surroundings.

That’s also true, the work in the guild she was in charge of was herded in so many areas that it was beyond imagination, but the things that lay underneath it weren’t things she had to worry about.

As the general manager of Summon Gate and the head of the guild, most of the things she touched directly could be said to determine the rise and fall of the guild, and Maria had handled quite a few important cases without difficulty.

The various interests expressed by the adventurers belonging to the guild were one of them.

Of course, nine out of ten of them were things that started with minor gains and losses between individuals or small expeditions and expeditions—the inside story was nothing short of trivial to Maria anyway.

It was nothing more than a tangled mess of trivial things that Maria could have dealt with without stepping out.

It was true that it was not too difficult to solve just by taking the name < Black Rose > during her active career.

However...

– Handbook of administrative authority cooperation and entrustment provisions for subjugation of the twisted portal

– Scope of application and irreversible interpretation clause of Imperial Imperial Decree No. 39

– Minutes of the 7th Adventurer Guild Branch Conference and details of implementation resolution

– Southern Continent Military A report on the fulfillment of the agreement and the trend of the family belonging to the Arno Kingdom

....

The numerous documents currently piled up in front of Maria’s eyes are documents that are dizzy enough to cause disgust just by looking at their titles.

Each of them is the product of continental interests that apply even to the minimum expeditionary force, kingdom academy, and government offices.

It could be said that it was related to the Terra Kingdom branch of the adventurer’s guild she belonged to.

“Ooh ooh ooh.”

Tub-seok!

The reason why she couldn’t keep her eyes peeled and became a heroine of tragic love that can only be seen in weekend morning dramas and kept her mouth shut was not just because she was exaggerating her acting.

It was because even Hassan, not Maria, would surely vomit if he had to read the papers of those hideous hybrids.

“In my later years, I had to dig through these crappy documents. If you were in front of me, you would just—”

Chew!

As Maria waved her finger into the air, a sharp incontinence was drawn through the outer wall of her private office.

It was an incontinence that had not even felt the slightest sign of it.

An intangible blade that is so subtle that if you don’t look closely, you might think it’s just a wrinkle in the grain of the wood, but boasts so sharpness that if it weren’t for the outer wall of the office, it would have cut your throat in one fell swoop.

Moreover, considering that it is just part of the ability manifested according to the will of Maria, who is cross-legged in the middle of the office.

And the causal relationship written from an extremely subjective point of view, unconditional condemnation of the mercenary belonging to the guild, the guild branch’s responsibility for failing to manage the mercenary, and compensation for the consequent material damage and the handover of the mercenary.

In Maria’s office, < Very Dangerous. Do not come in. > It could be said that there was nothing strange about it.

“I didn’t know that the dog was scary, but I have never heard of it from Abby ...? oh no If you send an official family statement without your father’s knowledge, it seems like you’ve gone as far as you’ve gone.... It seems that being unable to figure out the subject is the same for the father and the offspring.”

It must have been a funny letter to Maria Yones, who had crossed countless borders as well as air battles before and after childbirth.

“Hehe. How would you like to cook?”

Drooling!

Maria stood up as Gosran put down the letter. Instead of correspondence, her office was almost tortured instead, but it was much better that way.

It’s just a wooden outer wall, so it’s enough to go again, but this letter from Ahn Ha-mu, stamped with the Sayton family’s seal, could be good evidence to destroy the sender.

She knew well that the power of official documents sometimes exceeded the power of hundreds of troops, and it was one of the few tactics that Maria did not hesitate to use on the front lines.

It was enough to literally cook it to your liking.

Well, I thought that visiting Arno Kingdom after a long time would be a not too bad option.

Hassan, who is in charge of her boss and branch, was far from giving permission, and as a person registered as an asymmetric force that was restricted from moving between kingdoms, it was not a part she could easily move.

Even if it was included in the official schedule, it was the same.

Just as most kingdoms give titles to asymmetric powers such as sword masters and arc mages, and measure the defense capabilities of their own country and other countries based on those powers.

As a result, most of them maintain a friendly and close cooperative relationship with adventurer guilds that have spread across all continents.

On the contrary, it was because it was a self-evident fact that there was not one or two eyes on the continent looking at the asymmetric power.

“It smells too bad for something sent by a lump of blood that doesn’t know the world. Shall we start with a light warning about the entrance door? It’s better to poke a fork with a fork instead of snapping at it thinking you’re right.”

Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

As Maria raised her hand behind her back, the fountain pen that had been scattered across the desk flew into her hand as if it were a magnet.

That it was an air-submerged object using mana was a technique that only experts and master-class strongmen could recognize.

Of course, for a while, there was a scab on my forehead to the extent that the veins stretched out, but that was that and this was this.

With a pile of circumstantial evidence for making an objective judgment besides the letter from the Seton family, there was no reason for Maria, a grown-up (?) in her own right now, to play with the bloody rhythm.

It could have been a ploy by individuals and groups trying to motivate themselves and the adventurer’s guild by hiding behind this clot of blood.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such an open fuss, and he wouldn’t have picked Damian, who hadn’t even returned to the guild, and demanded a new recruit.

In addition, it could be said that the fact that the recent trends of individuals and groups surrounding Damian are going back and forth is something that the guild, which has eyes and ears on all continents, is also secretly contacting.

“Anyway, wherever we go, there are many people who are so jealous. This is why I don’t bend my back. huh? just try to come dead.”

Whirliririk!

At the same time, Maria’s wonderful signature—which, after all, was just a drawing of a bear—was scribbled on the payment documents, which happened in an instant.
