Next morning.

We are now in the eastern part of the 《Ancient City Amzeria》, 『parliament house』, which is right across the residence of the prime minister.

And since this morning there are about 10 Rakshadian soldiers that came for us.
Other than our party attracting too much attention, this much of hospitality is pretty great too…

And before we arrive at the 『prime minister residence』, the soldiers stare gazes at us.
… Actually those gazes are annoying.

「(… Hey, Rei-san… Why are those guys glancing at us for a while? It’s really annoying though…)」

I whisper to Rei-san’s ear.

「(… We can’t do anything about that, Kazuha-sama. I am the tournament’s winner furthermore all of our members are 『girl』, so we really stand out///)」 Rei

… Why does the end, like, have feelings?
But I kinda knew you’d say 『all of our members are girl』…

「This is the place, Reinharein-dono. The prime minister is waiting in the top floor of the 『special reception room』. Please take-」 Soldier

Rei raised both of her hands and abstained the soldier from further explaining.

Oh, how cool-.

「I understand. I am a girl but I too am part of the 『hero family』. I won’t do things in other country that will sully my name」 Rei

After saying that Rei entered and ascends the really really long stairs.

「(… Though Kazuha is the one most likely to do it…)」 Tao

「(… Right, she will)」 Ruru

「(… Yeah, Kazuha will)」

It’s unanimous, eh.

OI!

Well, I’ll just leave this too Rei-san who seems to be used to this (Wait, didn’t I do this 2 times in the past because of becoming a 『hero』, why can’t I do something in this scene… Ku…!), so I’ll just wait patiently.。

『Prime minister Residence: Top floor: Special Reception Room』

「Ooh! I have been waiting for you! Honored Reinharein-dono!」 PM : Prime minister

An oily old man popped out—–!
Err, I did meet him in my 『first』 though…

「… We the mercenary party 《Infinity Corridor》, is truly grateful for requesting us, Prime minister」 Rei

Rei-san said with a somewhat really amazing bow.
Her shoulder is knee length, is it a party greeting?

So I bowed too.

「Raise your head, Reiharein-dono. I am very sorry for the long travel that you had. I also wouldn’t mind if your attendants too take it ease」 PM

I’m… an attendant…

「(… We have no choice. You don’t want to stand out so you formed this party right?)」 Tao

… Yeah.

「(… How about you 《bind》 this big shot and take over this country, Kazuha?)」 Ruru

Outrageously said by the spirit!

「(… For starters, I didn’t have enough to drink, Kazuha)」 Selen

You had enough alcohol, Selen…

「I’ll take you up on your word…. So, Prime minister, this quite sudden but what is the details of your 『request』」 Rei

「…Umu. The truth is…」 PM

The oily old man, called prime minister, then told us, the 《Infinity Corridor》, the contents of the request.

Ah, now that I remember it, I haven’t said it but, I was the one who named our mercenary party, amazing right?
It’s fine since Rei-san instigated something non-understandable 『If Kazuha-sama will name our party then I’ll be able to indulge with it!』
So I became haughty and named it myself.

There’s no twist or whatsoever, I just named it 『Mugen Kairou』.(1)
Yup, that’s it, just as it is.
I named our mercenary party with the 『Infinite Loop situation』.
Funny, right?

So, the problem is…

The oily old man, called prime minister, the one who requested us about the job: his wife had found a 『secret underground pa.s.sage』 under the 《Ancient library》 here in 《Amzeria》.

So, the one who found it was fine and all, however a strong sealing magic was cast upon it, numerous level was repeated and numerous pa.s.sage was sealed.
In a way, it’s kinda like a 『dungeon』, that has many doors sealed, and the archaeologists predict that the door at the farthest back is the one which has the strongest sealing magic, that it has 『something』 important in the field of history.

Then, the sealing magic was deciphered leaving the expedition of the dungeon ’til the very heart of it. Upon opening the hardest of one sealed door, swarms of fearsome monsters appeared, seeing it they frantically closed the door.

So funny.

「… So you 『requested』 us because…?」 Rei

「… Umu. It is to go with my prided magic casters and go to the underground dungeon below the 《anceint library》, to bring back an 『important cultural a.s.set』」 PM

「(… 『important cultural a.s.set』」, huh…」 Kazuha

「(…? Kazuha…?)」

Indeed something like this event haven’t traversed during the time I visited the 《Ancient City Amzeria》 in my 『first time』.
Wait, that was the time I was ignoring the tournament, and haven’t 『registered as a mercenary party』 so it was certain, maybe but…

Then in my 『second time』, I went in the 『arena』 en route of the shortest course in clearing, in order to level up my skills in 『two sword skill』, so I didn’t stop by here in 《Ancient city Amzeria》…

(… Perhaps it’s a 『3rd time only event』, or not, right…?)

But I was suddenly turned to a 『woman』 state too…
These situation changes is much many than my 『first』 and 『second』 time…

(… There’s something fishy about this… What is it about this murky feeling….)

With that uncomfortable feeling, I–.

— had pretty much gave up on talking with that oily old man.
