The sun was shining on the gray city, and the snow was melting off the main street. It was the first clear winter day in a long time.

A few days after the start of boot camp.

Iris (Rene) was out on the town with Diana. Today, she is wearing a comfortable robe, without that torturous corset.

How are you doing with your studies?

Very hard. ......

The destination is the branch of the Adventurer's Guild in the city.

I've been getting almost all of my quests directly from the Count, but it's still polite as an adventurer to go through the guild. Adventurers who ignore the guild and accept quests will be subject to disciplinary action and even blacklisting if they go too far.

The reason why Iris (Rene) came along with him was because Rene wanted to see the Adventurer's Guild with his own eyes.

Adventurers are experts in locating demons and fighting them. They are heroes in many adventure stories and songs, though they are sometimes thought to be shady by the public.

The current threat to Rene is the Knight Commander, but there's no guarantee that he won't be facing strong adventurers in the future. You should know as much as you can about adventurers.

It was half out of curiosity that I came to see it myself, not because I was tired of just salvaging it from Iris's memory, though I gave it some reason like .......

”How to use a knife and fork. How to sit and stand in a chair. Elegant language and graceful hand gestures. When you walk, walk on a straight line.

In addition, ...... can you believe it?　The whole way through, they made me do it with a book on my head!

”Oh my God. I thought putting a book on your head was just a joke to laugh at the big guys, but you really do it.

They really do it.

The topic of conversation on the road was the training that Iris (Rene) was being given.

I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it. Even so, in order to make up for it, he was given a cramming education that would make even those not in the Ministry of Education want to cry ”yutori education.

”If you say you need to study for your job, it's so hard that I want to be paid for this time.

”Ha-ha-ha!　That makes sense!　But Iris, I'm sure this guy will be useful in the future.

Is that how it works?

That's the way it is. Just because he knows how to use a knife and fork, people will think, ”He's an adventurer, but maybe he's from a noble family. It might change the way the higher-ups look at you.

That kind of thing can come in handy somewhere unexpectedly.

I see, thinks Iris (Rene).

If you think of it as unpaid training, it's black, but if you think of it as being able to take the classes you want to take for free, it might be a good deal.

In fact, this is a great opportunity for Rene.

There will be times in the future when I will be possessed by another noble girl and take her place. In order not to be confused at such a time, there is no harm in learning the appropriate moves.

--Well, that's ...... going to have to wait until we get this country sorted out first, though.

In order to do that, you have to send the Night Python people to hell first.

It's not enough to live as a nobleman and shadow warrior of a lady. I have to manipulate the situation from behind the scenes and make sure that Night Python is destroyed.

--In the end, I'll just have to do it myself. ...... I'll have to see how far I can get with the Count and the Dragon's Throat. In the event that you're not sure what to do, you can always try to find out what you can do. ...... Well, first of all, you can use your physical body to gather information.

If anything, I want to gather information about the situation in Ciel-Teira after the coup. There's a limit to how much you can listen to people in a spirit body.

While they were thinking about this, they arrived at the guild's branch.

”Here, my lord.

”Hey, you're on a quest from your lord. I know.

The master of the guild, who was a familiar face to the two of them, said this as soon as he saw Iris and Rene.

The Adventurer's Guild branch was located in the busiest part of the city.

But the two-story building itself was small, like a tavern with a nice atmosphere. Although they don't serve food here, there are adventurers who bring in food and drinks from nearby stores to eat and drink. Around the counter, instead of a menu of drinks and liquors, there was a sign with a request (quest).

Since it is a small branch, the branch manager (master) himself sometimes stands there and deals with adventurers. The Master fills in for the receptionist's shift. If nothing strange happens, the branch manager (master) has the most free time,” he says. Well, actually, it seems to be more of a hobby of the Master.

A bearded man who is large horizontally and short vertically, with muscles like rocks. The master is a dwarf, the second most common race in this country after humans. Male Dwarves have thick beards even when they are young, so it is difficult for humans to tell how old they are, but the Master seems to be already in his old age. His muscles, which he prides himself on, have lost their strength, but he used to be an adventurer in his younger days, and even now, standing at the counter and seeing the faces of active adventurers is his greatest pleasure.

You guys seem to be in the lord's good graces.

”Favored is good and bad. This job is a bit dangerous. You know what it is.

Well, yeah. Depends on the situation. ...... If the enemy is serious about going all out, it could be dangerous.

Do you have an idea?

Oh, yes. ......

The Master glanced at the adventurers eating and drinking nearby.

The Master glanced at the adventurers who were eating and drinking nearby, ”It's best not to talk about this quest where it can be heard by the general public.

I'll talk about it upstairs. ...... Hey!　Wayne!　Give me a counter!

The Master walked up the stairs, followed by the young clerk who had come down.

They were ushered into the Master's office, which looked like the principal's office of a small school. This room was the only one that was equipped for secret talks. In addition to soundproofing, it has a magical soundproofing and detection barrier. I've heard that larger chapters have many more fully equipped rooms, but for a chapter of this size, one room is the best we can do.

”How much do you guys know about this coup d'etat?

The first thing that the Branch Chief (Master) said, Iris (Rene) thought that all the blood flowed back.
