I was being hugged by the Sword Saint and pushed forward. Speaking of her grudge against dragons, I remembered that Sister Levi also had a title called "Dragon Slayer". She dedicated her life to studying various methods of slaying dragons, so it's clear that her grudge with dragons is not that simple.

In just ten steps, another group of boys were staring at me. I guessed they were surprised - huh? How could the renowned platinum-level adventurer "Sword Saint" Lady Levi be hugging a maid? I shyly lowered my head.

She led me to a round table where a mint green-haired elven girl was slumped over, yawning.

She is the sister I've been talking about. Her surname is Moyue, which is the elven surname, and her name is super duper long, so... even I'm used to calling her Moyue now.

Don't let her appearance fool you, she's actually 800 years old. Elves are truly amazing when it comes to preserving their youth. Even I envy them, even though I know I'm a boy - still, I envy them.

"Captain, guess who's here?" Levi smiled mischievously and pushed me towards her.

"Hmm?"

Sister Moyue looked up at me. She had a lazy look on her face. I weakly waved at her - "Hello, Sister Moyue."

As for why I was so lacking in confidence, it's all because I'm dressed as a maid, a bit embarrassing.

"Kri...s?" She looked me up and down. "Why are you dressed like this today?"

Indeed, everyone had the same reaction. I'm almost used to it.

"It's a long story..."

"I've been wanting to find you at the church, but I didn't know when to go. Come sit down and tell me your story, I'm bored to death."

"If you feel bored, go slay a dragon," Levi whispered.

"The dragon's den won't run away, no rush."

"..."

I sat silently next to Sister Moyue. She rested her cheek on her hand and looked at me with a smile.

Sister Moyue is really beautiful. Being stared at by such a beautiful elf, I felt too embarrassed and lowered my head to look at my shoes.

"Tell me, how did you end up wearing a maid outfit?"

"Well..."

Because there were so many people around, it wouldn't be good if news about the traveler got out. I quietly told Sister Moyue, Levi, and Nono the details.

"That's pretty much it, just make sure not to spread it, okay?"

I finished telling them and made a shushing gesture.

"I never thought there would actually be someone who could defeat the big boss. But sister, don't you think this is too unfair to yourself?" Sister Moyue looked at me and asked.

"I think it's okay."

I smiled.

"I heard adventurers are well-informed. I wonder if you've heard any news about that person?"

"Anyone who encounters the Demon Lord definitely won't survive, so how is it possible for news about her to spread?" Nono said softly. I saw her tightly gripping her wand, as if she was scared just thinking about that person.

"Sigh, on such a beautiful day, let's not talk about that person. Besides, isn't the unicorn a weird creature that can't perform unless it sees a virgin? What would a traveler want with it?" Levi asked.

"Don't describe it as so evil..." I said weakly. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to face it if I had to keep it on my estate.

"The unicorn's horn can be used to test for poison. Sister Moyue, does the traveler not trust you?" Nono looked at me seriously.

"No... that's not it," I hurriedly said.

Sister Moyue worried too much. How could Lienchi be worried that I would poison her food? She... just wants me to call her "Master"...! She didn't do anything that made me hate her.

Oh no... I actually called her "Master", now that I think about it, it's so embarrassing...!

"Drinking unicorn blood can prolong one's life. Does the traveler want to use the unicorn's blood to extend their own life?" Nono asked solemnly.

"N-No, it wouldn't be that cruel, right?"

I don't think Lienchi would do that.

"It's pointless to make wild guesses. Sister, do you want us to help you catch a unicorn?" Sister Moyue asked me.

"Yes, yes...! Because Sister is an elf, and unicorns inhabit the forests where elves live, I want to ask you to help me catch one, is that okay?"

I shyly smiled and clasped my hands together, begging her for help.

"When do you want it?""Of course, the sooner the better..."

"Understood."

Eyemoon Sister said and stood up from the chair.

"Well then, I'll leave now."

"Ah—? Saintess, you actually cured her procrastination syndrome!?" Livi said with an incredulous expression.

"Kfir Sister rarely asks me for anything, and we still owe her a favor, have you forgotten?" Eyemoon Sister said to Livi.

"It's okay...! That thing before was nothing, really." I quickly said.

"Alright, let's go. How about we follow the normal procedure, Saintess, you submit the request, and I'll tear it apart instantly."

—As soon as she finished speaking, Livi hugged my waist and pushed me back to the receptionist, and I heard Nono say from behind me, "Oh, Livi, are you trying to earn some social contribution points?"

"Does the Holy Lady wish to submit a request?" The female receptionist bowed deeply to me with the most professional smile, completely different from when she received the old farmer just now.

"Um... Can you give me the request form and a pen?"

"No need, no need! I'll help you fill it out!" she hurriedly said.

"Hey, what do you say? Shouldn't fulfilling the tasks assigned by the Saintess earn you ten thousand social contribution points?" Livi leaned on the counter with a mischievous grin.

"If you want social contribution points, go hunt some goblins." Nono whispered behind me.

"Um... Of course, whatever the Saintess says is what it is." The receptionist said.

Isn't that too easy-going? I was surprised. Does the Adventurers' Guild have no principles?

"I don't understand things like social contribution points, so let's go with what Livi said, right?" I said.

"Okay, okay! No problem!"

I looked at the receptionist, who seemed a little panicked. Isn't ten thousand points too much?

"Sorry... One more thing."

I said to them.

"Just now, there was an old man who submitted a request before me. His village was attacked by a bandit group, and his daughter and son were both kidnapped. But I saw that the reward he raised was very little... It might not be enough to hire a few brass-level adventurers..."

"Oh? There's something like that?" Livi expressed surprise.

"The Holy Lady doesn't need to worry about it. Occasionally, such people appear, and the Adventurers' Guild won't ignore them." The receptionist said.

"Don't you understand what the Holy Lady means? It's just a mere bandit group, leave it to me to deal with." Eyemoon Sister said.

Huh?

I was surprised. I didn't expect Livi to agree so readily.

"Really? But it means you will have to do another favor."

"It's no big deal!" Livi waved her hand with an indifferent attitude. "I'll settle it right away. You all wait for me to come back for dinner!"

"Are you sure it's okay to make such a promise?" Nono said to her quietly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Can a great sword saint like me fail against a mere bandit group?" Livi said.

"Then let's split up, I and Nono will go catch the unicorn, and you can join us after dealing with the bandit group," Eyemoon Sister suggested.

Livi nodded and made a gesture to Nono, "Give me two teleportation scrolls.

"After catching the unicorn, where should we send it?" Eyemoon Sister turned around and asked me.

I tilted my head and smiled at her. "Fontainebleau Mansion on the outskirts of the capital."

It's really great to have the sisters helping me. I sighed in relief. Lienchi demanded that I come home for dinner, and there's still some time. Finally, I can go buy some black stockings that don't run.
