The public guilds in the town of Eiren were not permitted to use Crown cards to carry out procedures.
There was recognition by Crown, but there was no way to verify whether the card was genuine or not.
The lady at the reception desk said that if she knew it was genuine, she could have processed it right away.
If it was a card issued by a public guild, it could be read immediately because they use a common standard.
However, the Crown Card could not be used for the transaction because it could not be identified as a genuine card.
Hearing this story, Kousuke thought that this was an issue that would have to be addressed in the future.
A Crown Card identification machine itself could be made without too much trouble.
If the Crown branch was to spread throughout the world, such a machine would have to be made as well.
The procedure at the official guild in the town of Eiren did not take very long.
However, Kousuke took advantage of the fact that there was no one waiting in line and asked many questions, so it took a long time.
The lady at the reception desk was also aware that there was no one in the line, and she was willing to answer Kousuke’s questions.
Yes. The cliché event occurred even though so much time had passed.
“Are you listening, hey!”
A loud male voice was heard in Kousuke’s ears.
Or rather, he had been saying something earlier; however, there was too little substantial information in it, so he had not been listening to him.
There was Mitsuki and Peach with him, who could not be matched.
Kousuke was thinking that it would be strange not to get tangled up in this.
Beside Kousuke, Wanri was pulling Peach’s sleeve and asking her.
“Why do these people say and do the same things?”
“Hmmm. I wonder why! Maybe there’s a certain stylistic beauty that is beyond comprehension in front of them?”
“In general, even doing something about big brother will not necessarily make us flirt with him.”
Kousuke wondered where she learned the word “flirt” and thought about something unimportant.
“Well, these people think that as long as they can handle men, the rest will be taken care of.”
Following Peach, even Mitsuki said something that seemed to upset the men.
“Ah. Now, now, you guys. Don’t go out of your way to stir things up, will you?”
“Eh? Oh, I’m sorry.”
“No matter what we say, these people won’t change.”
“That’s right.”
Kousuke admonished, but Wanri was the only one who felt sorry, while the other two were completely oblivious.
What they were saying was something I wanted to agree with to the hilt, so even Kousuke didn’t say it too strongly.
“You guys, that’s enough!!!”
As I continued to ignore him, the man tried to grab Kousuke, as if he had lost his patience with the stones.
Kousuke wanted to give the man a break, so he quickly took a few steps backward and ducked.
“Just out of curiosity, what is the guild’s response to a situation like this?”
“We basically don’t interfere in troubles between adventurers.”
“Basically, huh?”
“Yes. Basically.”
When Kousuke confirmed this, the woman at the reception desk smiled and answered.
Seeing that she was unfazed by the man’s condition, this kind of thing must be happening daily.

Now what to do, Kousuke thought.
It would be easy to deal with the man in front of him if he sent out the fairies.
But if he did so, he might stand out in an unnecessary direction.
As was the case at Amamiya Tower, it would be best to assume that there were few beings who could casually summon fairies.
Kousuke’s physical ability was not that high, so he might be beaten in a simple contest of strength.
While he was thinking about this, Peach looked at him.
Unusually, Peach seemed to be doing something about it.
Kousuke quickly entrusted Peach to take care of the situation.
First, Peach asked the lady at the reception desk for confirmation.
“Let me ask you something. In this case, is self-defense possible?”
The receptionist seemed to be in a good mood and immediately answered the question.
“I guess it’s a delicate question. If you were the person to start the fight, it might be difficult for us to deal with the situation.”
“I see.”
The man who was about to put his hand on Kousuke grinned, perhaps feeling better about the receptionist’s answer.
“Oh, that’s right. If you don’t want to be involved, shut up and watch from there…!?”
The man was about to finish saying something, but then he was already lying on the floor.
“Wha…?”
The man probably had no idea what had just happened. His face was filled with surprise.
“Oh, my~? I wonder what happened to him?”
Peach smiled at the confused man.
Incidentally, the place where Kousuke and the others were located was the guild’s reception area, so it was quite spacious.
Inside the guild, there were tables set up so that adventurers could exchange information with each other.
There were not many people there because it was midday, but even so, it was not entirely empty.
Those who were watching the commotion also watched, wide-eyed at what happened for a brief moment.
“How could you fall down in the middle of nowhere, you could have gotten sick? I suggest going to see a doctor~?”
The man’s face turned red as Peach said this to him.
“You’ve got to be kidding…?”
Peach glared at the agitated man.
“If you continue to be an adventurer without knowing the difference in your abilities, you will soon lose your life, so you should quickly retire, you know?”
From the outside, Peach looked calm and smiling, but to the man she was facing, it was anything but that.
As soon as he saw it, his face turned completely blue.
Apparently, he was good enough to sense Peach’s intimidation.
“Ah, aah, I’m sorry. I seem to have tripped over something.”
“I see~. Your body is important, no matter what weapons you use, so please take care of them.”
Peach smiled and washed away the man’s excuses.
Seeing the look on the man’s face, he got up in a hurry and quickly backed away toward the entrance.
Seeing this, some of the men also left, so it must have been one of his friends or subordinates.
“Well done!”
“It wasn’t much~ If it had been Mitsuki, it would have been much quicker, no?”
“I don’t know. I might not be able to hold back that easily.”
Currently, Mitsuki was in a state where her powers were sealed away.
They had discussed it and decided on it when they agreed to go on the trip.
Sylvia had advised him that there might be someone among people who would be able to see through Mitsuki’s power.
Unless there was a great deal of trouble, the seal was not to be broken.
“Well, whatever, let’s continue with the procedure.”
Kousuke said and turned to the receptionist, where the lady laughed and responded.
“Oh, the procedures have already been completed, so please take this one.”
With that, she held out their Guild Cards to them.
The lady’s attitude showed no sign of the trouble they had just gone through.
Kousuke was impressed in a strange way, thinking that this person was really a professional.

“What’s the matter, bro? How could you miss such a big fish?”
The servant who had been following the man who had fled the guild asked.
“Shut up. There’s no way we can beat that monster!”
“Monster… Well, they were beautiful enough to be monsters, weren’t they?”
The minion, who did not feel that intimidation at all, looked at him strangely.
“That’s not it! That woman is outrageous. If you guys don’t want to die, don’t mess with them.”
It was outrageous that she didn’t seem at all competent when the man was observing her closely, and yet she was so intimidating.
He understood that there was no way he could win in a proper fight.
Gritting his teeth, the man still tried desperately to think straight.
He really wanted to give those who had humiliated him in front of others a good beating.
“You guys, listen up…”
The men who followed him grinned and listened to what the man was saying.
The man would then sign his death warrant himself, not knowing that he already had a noose around his neck.
