“What are you gals here for?”

Shiryoo felt as if alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and they were at maximum sound. He attempted to check the women’s purpose while taking care not to offend them unnecessarily.

His senses were tingling from the dangerous vibes that he could feel from the woman who looked like she has Elf blood and the other two seductive beauties clad in kimono. The elf girl seemed to be younger than the other two, but she was undeniably gorgeous.

Most of the Notorius members were captivated by their beauty; however, Shiryoo and the remaining handful of seasoned adventurers harbored an indescribable fear towards the women.

“You’re asking for our purpose, is it? Let me state it frankly then, we are here to buy this land.”

“… Huh?”

Shiryoo was dumbfounded when the beaming girl crossed her arms and uttered those words. He immediately realized that the beautiful girl, who was none other than Tina, wasn’t joking.

He could sense a cold bloodlust emanating from the mana enshrouding the smiling woman. Shiryoo shivered after his attempt to probe her lineage resulted in him touching her mana, and it was at that moment that he recognized she was an enemy.

“You don’t seem to have any idea where you are.”

Shiryoo drew the sword on his waist. The upper-ranking members of the clan immediately understood what he wanted to do, so they too got ready to fight. The mid-tier and low-ranking adventurers started to panic, feeling confused without any inkling of what’s going on.

On the contrary, Tina and the other two kimono-clad ladies – Youko and Kikyou – calmly observed them.”

“We know. It’s Notorius, the greatest adventurer’s clan in the entire Glendale, isn’t it.”

Kikyou’s melodiously seductive voice charmed some of the adventurers. Shiryoo’s heart also stirred a bit because he was standing right in front of them, but he endured it somehow.

“…So you guys came here knowing full well of what’s going on behind the scenes and you’re fine with that, right?”

“That’s right. I’m glad we’re not beating around the bush.”

“Our master decided to become an adventurer in this kingdom. He surely intends to establish the greatest clan in this country – no, in this entire world.”

“If he finds out that the greatest clan in this kingdom, which he intends to surpass, has decayed to its core like this, he would probably feel saddened.”

“That’s about it, so you guys need to disappear, alright.”

Tina was smiling as she remained still, but Kikyou and Youko were already releasing ice-cold bloodlust. Even the adventurers who fell for their beauty finally sensed that they were a threat.

The members gathered here pulled out their weapons and faced Tina.

“I don’t know who you are, but do you think three lassies can win against us? Huh?”

“Hmm, seems like it won’t even be a match.”

“Hey, hey, what the heck are you thinking about? No way, are you here so that we can do you in? Is that it?”

“Oh, no, that’s not what I meant. It won’t even be a match because you all can’t win against us.”

“Haaahh!?”

Shiryoo was almost overwhelmed by an unexplainable fear, but the weak-looking girl’s taunts made him snap. He still had his pride as the top leader of the greatest clan.

Tina continued on, not paying mind to the guy whose veins were popping out as he gripped his sword.

“By the way, we won’t fight. No, actually, we can’t fight.”

“That’s right. If this sensed that we’re in danger, Master’s magic will be activated.”

Youko touched the bracelet on her wrist. Halt gave a bracelet to each member of the Ernol family, and it has a magic spell that would release a few flaming knights once it sensed any threat to the family.

“Halt-sama will surely notice if the spell is activated. However, we cannot pass this opportunity to clean up trash and give him a present while at it. That’s why we –”

“We came here expecting that the gap between our powers and yours are so huge that the magic tools that Master created can’t detect you as threats.”

Tina said those words to the twenty men considered to be the top class adventurers within the kingdom.

“Why you cheeky brat, I’m gonna have my way with you until you’re too broke—aghhh!”

Shiryoo was about to pounce on Tina, but he stopped on his tracks, and it was against his will. He can’t even say a peep. He wasn’t the only one; all the adventurers in this place experienced the same thing.

“This is just hypothetical because it’s absolutely impossible, but all the same, no one other than Halt-sama can lay a hand on us.”

“That’s right, just the thought of you guys imagining our bodies makes me wanna throw up.”

Kikyou was now a divine beast, and Youko also achieved her complete Nine Tailed-form.

Their magic took absolute control of the entire place.

It was the highest-form of mind-control magic.

There was no need to directly touch the target and no need to utter commands.

The other party would be completely brainwashed just by coming into contact with the mana released by Youko and Kikyou. They could even deprive their targets the ability to move freely while still being conscious. Shiryoo and the others were currently in this state. The moment Tina, Youko and Kikyou entered the door, they were already on the offensive.

Shiryoo’s legendary grade anti-mind control magic tool could’ve worked against Youko if she came here on her own, but unfortunately for him, there are only two people in this entire world that could resist Kikyou’s mind control after she became a divine beast.

One was the guy whose status was frozen because of a curse, and the other was his sister, a hero.

“Well then, you have to reap what you sow, if you planted evil then you must receive punishment.”

Tina didn’t stop smiling from beginning to end.

She, along with Youko and Kikyou, didn’t have any qualms raiding the kingdom’s most powerful clan.

In fact, she was delighted that she had found to legally acquire a suitable piece of land that she could give to Halt as a gift.
She was imagining how she would report the situation of this land acquisition, and she could picture how ecstatic Halt would be, so she couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
