The man glanced at the document, scoffed, kicked the counter hard, and then left with his companion, cursing all the while.

Outside the guild, Dekomori stood guard at the entrance, holding a huge iron hammer. Behind her, a wounded beast-eared loli was clinging to Dekomori's waist, pointing at the man.

"Boss! It's her!"

Dekomori raised his eyes, revealing an excited fighting spirit: "Evil deserves to be defeated and killed!"

boom--

……

Inside the guild.

The little elf Eina, who had just joined the group not long ago, asked timidly:

"Senior Rose, I've heard that the Soma Familia is exploiting loopholes to oppress merchants in remote streets and using slaves as supporters to swindle money from novice adventurers. Is that true?"

The red-haired dog-girl Rose handed over a piece of paper:

"Curious? Then please deliver this notice to me."

"Eh?" Eina hurriedly waved her hands: "I, I, I can't, they look like they're going to eat people."

“There’s a first time for everything, right? It’ll hurt a little, but you’ll get used to it quickly. Eina, I believe in you.” Rose gave her a thumbs up.

"Eh~~"

The night is dark.

Eina stood in front of the Soma Familia's encampment, clutching a stack of documents.

Ugh, why do we still have to do this after get off work? 996 is awful.

The little elf stood before the silent, hellish building, hesitant and uncertain. Sometimes he would take two steps forward with determination, and sometimes he would retreat, clutching the documents and trembling with gritted teeth.

I've heard that Commander Chanis is not a kind person. What if he yells at me? What if he gets angry and tries to fight me?

Should we ask the adventurers who are usually in charge for a favor?

During hesitation.

Behind them, a dwarf holding a wine bottle and reeking of alcohol slowly approached.

"Hey, what are you up to, sneaking around like that?" Chandra burped and shouted.

"Eek—" Eina was startled and bent over, turning her head away.

Chandra saw Eina's outfit and scoffed, "Tch, from the guild?"

"Come here, are you looking for the commander?"

"Yes, yes," Eina said timidly, shrinking her neck.

"follow me."

The little elf followed the dwarf into the building, and the two walked through the empty corridor, slowly approaching the captain's room.

During this time, Eina secretly glanced at Chandra a few times.

'It's said that this dwarf uncle is a high-ranking adventurer, just like the [Wine Keeper]. Now it seems he's not a bad person.'

A moment later, Eina saw Zanis, who was furious, in the commander's office.

Upon seeing Chandra, Chanis gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Where have you been? Do you know what happened to your clan?"

Chandra clicked his tongue: "My business is none of your concern."

He only cared about whether he had alcohol to drink; he didn't care about anything else.

"I'm the leader!"

"Who cares about you?"

The two engaged in a heated exchange, while Eina trembled as she clutched the documents.

When the situation reached a stalemate, Eina slowly stepped forward and said timidly, "Excuse me, this is a document from the guild."

"Huh? Give it to me!"

Chanis glanced at Eina, then took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, took the documents, and began to read them seriously.

As time went on, Chanis's face grew increasingly pale, then turned purple, and finally became as black as the bottom of a pot.

Eina didn't dare to utter a sound the entire time.

She knew exactly what was written on the document.

Not only are there taxes with unclear financial matters, but also fines for all the relatives arrested for illegal and disorderly conduct, and even the total amount involved over the past few years.

"Heh heh heh, three hundred million?! You want me to pay a three hundred million fine? Are you crazy, or am I crazy?!"

The total amount is close to 3 million fares.

3 million is not a crippling amount for Chanis. Just from alcohol alone, he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in net profit every day. Over the years, his assets have become a terrifying figure.

Not to mention the Dharma gained by exploiting the families.

However, after years of reckless spending and enjoyment, he doesn't actually have much liquid capital, so losing 3 million at once will definitely hurt him.

The important thing is...

"Why should I share the money I earned through my own abilities with the guild?"

Chanis looked at the huge stack of criminal records and ill-gotten gains of each clan, his heart filled with rage, and he crumpled the documents in his hands.

He cursed inwardly, wondering which madman had captured his entire clan!

Shakti? That woman isn't that free!

He fixed his gaze on Eina and said coldly, "Tell me, who kidnapped my kin?"

"They're targeting me!"

"A total of 150 people, and more than 150 people were arrested! Tell me, what else could this be but targeted attacks!"

Chanis's gaze was too fierce, and Eina shrank back.

Chandra stepped in front of the fairy and said in a voice tinged with alcohol:

"Don't make things difficult for these young girls."

"cut."

Chanis sat down and reviewed all the document details again.

Just then, a henchman stumbled in.

"Commander, we've found out. It's the Astrea Familia. Apparently, Astrea has returned. They caught quite a few troublemakers outside in just one afternoon."

"It wasn't just our clan; many other independent individuals were also arrested."

Chanis's pupils contracted, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Could it be [Gale]?"

No, that's not right. We have no grudge against [Swift Wind], it's impossible for that to happen...

"Keep talking!"

The younger brother said tremblingly, "It is said that the newly formed Astrea Familia has returned, and the leader is a red-haired boy who looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old."

"A newborn?" A hint of ferocity flashed in Chanis's eyes.

"It's great to be a new student."

The next day.

Xia Jia first received news of the return of the Blank Squad, so he brought everyone to greet their senior.

"This is where most of the clan members are. The only vacancies are the potato ball shop clerk and the researchers who stayed behind."

As for Makise Kurisu, she is currently busy handling the funeral arrangements due to her father's unexpected death. As for Ankage, that guy seems to have some mental issues.

After asking Kotoko, I learned that it was a side effect of the prop.

Shalga was slightly surprised by this; had the eerie creature actually followed the shadow to another world?

After getting to know each other, Ryu said:

"The procedures for the Stardust Mansion have been approved, and we can move there today."

Everyone was delighted and followed Liu to a corner of the old town.

The Stardust House is not large, roughly a three-story duplex villa of about 400 square meters.

Apart from the lobby on the first floor and the bathhouse in the backyard, there are only about 13 rooms.

Xia Jia stood in the living room and looked around, saying, "If each person has their own room, there aren't enough rooms to go around."

If we include Cecil, Ryu, and Astrea, Shaga's total number of people is 15, which is clearly not enough.

Ryu said helplessly, "Lady Astrea doesn't spend too much money on enjoyment. All the money is used to upgrade the equipment of the members of the clan. The rooms are kept to a minimum that are just enough to live in."
