A dozen or so knights were gathered in the conference room.

“I see everyone is here. Excellent. Then I’ll explain the mission details!”

As the one leading the meeting, Carlotta stood in front of her subordinates and spoke, her voice ringing clearly in the space.

“This time, we have been given the task of conquering a labyrinth that threatens the coastal regions. In short, we will be defeating its demon lord.”

Her words made Nell’s heart pound for a moment. Once she allowed her superior’s mention of “coastal regions” to sink in, however, she rubbed her chest in relief. Thank goodness. Mr. Yuki’s dungeon is nowhere near the ocean.

“‘Coastal regions’? Does that mean we’ll be heading to the district of Rhone?”

Carlotta nodded affirmatively in response to the question posed by one of the knights.

“That’s right. The labyrinth is located approximately four hours from the Port of Powza in the Rhone district.”

“Four hours, you say? That’s surprisingly close. Why has it taken so long to subdue the demon lord?”

“Well, until now, a host of adventurers has been tasked with capturing the labyrinth. But it seems they’re yet to reach the stage of their plan that involves defeating the demon lord.”

“Hmm... If their plan of attack is proceeding well and there aren’t any foreseeable problems, why is our involvement being requested? In a dungeon conquest, no less.”

That question came from another knight. The knights’ primary duties revolved around maintaining public order in their parishes, cooperating with the military to apprehend criminals, and protecting important individuals. Simply put, it was very unusual for them to be assigned to missions that took them outside the towns and cities they were stationed in—missions like dungeon conquests. The fact that a job outside their jurisdiction had suddenly come to them had to have meant that the circumstances there were quite serious.

“Right, about that. As it turns out, the adventurers who set out to defeat the demon lord returned after failing their task. The demon lord evidently poses quite a threat, so defeating him is a matter of urgency naturally. But the adventurers capable of subduing him can’t take on the mission right now due to other obligations. Unlike the military, we knights aren’t bound by constraints, and we’re all relatively powerful as individuals, which is why we’ve been selected for this task. At least, that’s the official pretext.”

At this point, Carlotta paused for a moment. Then, with an annoyed expression, she resumed speaking.

“Do you remember the two cardinals we apprehended before? Well, the fact that there was a quarrel among the Church’s leadership came to light within the general public, leading the people to lose trust in us. In order to win it back, the Church wants to put on a display of its power to protect the masses. In short, politics.”

She snorted derisively.

“What I’d truly love to do is shove my foot up their asses and send them flying for presenting us with such a useless demand. Unfortunately, there’s no denying that our capture of those idiots partially caused this situation in the first place.
