That day, Allen and the others were visiting the city's adventurer's guild.
The large building was crowded with people returning from dungeons, people looking for requests, and people getting materials they had stripped from monsters appraised.
There was also a bar in the back, which was busy sucking up the adventurers' earnings.
Thanks to that, the place was bustling and full of a unique energy.
"Wow... there are a lot of strong-looking people here."
"...Gau."
Charlotte looked around curiously, while Luu looked around cautiously. Allen had been there a few times, but this was the first time he'd brought the two of them here.
Their innocent reaction was endearing, and he couldn't help but stare at them.
At that moment.
"Oh, isn't that the Great Demon King-san?"
"Hmm... it's you guys."
A voice called out from the bar.
Looking around the corner, he saw a familiar face gathered in a group.
The Cave Group led by Magus and the Viper's Fang group led by Groh... about thirty people in total.
Magus, being a rock race, was bigger than a human, so he sit upright on the floor with one hand raised, and Groh followed suit.
When the other thugs saw Allen's face, they all rose from their seats and bowed.
"Chizzz! Thank you for your hard work today!"
“Looking radiant as ever, Goddess!”
"You're even more beautiful today... wait, is that beast… a Fenrir!?”
One of them had finally noticed Luu and cried out in shock.
Instantly, the entire room's attention turned their way. Charlotte shrank behind Allen’s back, flustered by the sudden stares, while Luu let out a low growl.
Allen patted Luu on the head and gave a small shrug.
“She’s Charlotte’s friend. We’re here today to get permission for her to accompany us into town.”
Beast tamers couldn’t just bring any magic beast into populated areas.
If a monster that hasn't been properly trained entered a town, it could lead to the worst possible outcome.
That's why they need to bring their magic beast to the adventurer's guild, where they would be inspected to prove they weren’t dangerous and would obey orders. Only then could they receive permission to walk around town together.
“W-When did you tame something that dangerous…?”
“You really are amazing, Goddess!”
"T-that's not true."
Charlotte said with a bashful smile, clearly a little calmer now.
Allen pointed toward the window counter at the back of the guild.
“See that? That’s the counter. I’ve already arranged everything, so go ahead.”
"Y-Yes. I'll do my best. Let's go, Luu."
“Gao-gaooo!”
With that, the two headed confidently toward the counter, drawing stares from all around. The assessment would take about an hour, but Allen had no doubt they’d pass without issue.
Allen saw them off and tried to go outside, but... Magus and the others stopped him.
“Wait up. That means you’ve got free time, right, Demon Lord-san?”
“Come drink with us for once!”
“In the middle of the day…?”
Allen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had actually planned to browse a bookstore while waiting for Charlotte, but on second thought…
“Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to get your opinions.”
"Huh? What is it? That's unusual."
"What? It's nothing important."
As he sat next to Magus, the group came over to Allen, wondering what was going on.
Until now, Allen had given them chores and trained them under the guise of training, but he had never asked for their opinions. That's why they must have been interested.
Taking a sip of the cheap liquor that was poured for him, Allen asked in a light tone.
“I’m thinking of confessing to Charlotte soon. What kind of situation do you think would be best?”
CRAAASH!!!
The table shattered, liquor bottles flew through the air, and all the thugs present fell over.
