One summer day two years ago, around the time when Alina had just become a receptionist…

It was the last night of the annual Centennial Festival in Iffole, which was held for three days and nights.

Excitement in the city for the festival’s finale was reaching fever pitch, and the sounds of lively groups of musicians performing and the rough laughter of drunk adventurers reached Alina’s ears.

Yes, Iffole Counter was right in the middle of the great city, and in the empty office at night, she had heard it so clearly it hurt.

“Why…do I have to do overtime…even on a special day like this…?”

To little surprise, there was nobody else in the office. Everyone in town had finished up work early that day to partake in the festivities. Alina was the only one putting in overtime, and it went without saying that thinking about that only amplified her distress over the situation.

“How can these people call themselves adventurers…? City of adventurers, my butt…!” Alina muttered resentfully as she glared at the mountain of papers piled up in front of her. “Those good-for-nothings can’t even defeat a boss…but somehow they manage to party it up during a festival…!”

The Adventurers Guild had been established in this land to survey and understand the technology and powers of the ancients. So it followed that there were many adventurers living in the great city of Iffole, which was their base. They called it the hot-blooded city of adventurers.

The Centennial Festival was originally a ritual for the ancients to beg for the power of Dia, which had long been passed down in this land. People had started copying the rituals as part of an investigation, but of course no blessings came of that, so these days, the event had become an excuse for the adventurers to have a wild party.

But, thought Alina’s lazy mind, if that legend was true, and she made a wish with all her will behind it, then that Dia or whatever might just get rid of her overtime.

“Please, let me go home, God!” she wound up yelling unintentionally, but of course there was no one to respond. The loud sounds of festival merriment continued to reverberate through the quiet office.

“Someone…anyone…hurry and defeat the boss…”

Silent tears falling from her eyes, Alina entreated the adventurers.

The guild raised the reward for defeating monsters while the Centennial Festival was being held, so Iffole Counter would always get a flood of quest applications during that time. Maybe the guild thought of it as just a bit of an event to
