The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"so boring……"

Philippa lay face down on the table, her eyes looking like a dead fish.

"The Adventurers' Guild's quests are all about guarding and finding herbs. Occasionally there's a monster hunting quest, but it only requires low-level monster pelts. They even have quests for finding an old lady's lost cat. There's no challenge at all. How can this be considered training?"

Princess Heroine complained.

"The client, Grey Brandt, has lost his cat and hopes that you adventurers can help him find it. The reward is one silver coin," Sophia said calmly from the side.

"What? A request from Gray? Where did you see it? Why didn't you tell me?" Philippa was immediately startled upon hearing this, and her three-part question earned her a disdainful look from Sophia.

“Ha, women.” Sophia shook her head.

Seeing Sophia's expression and actions, Philippa immediately realized that they were in Camelot Territory. Although it wasn't impossible to run into Gray, this wasn't Gray's hometown, so there was no way they would have a request to help Gray find his cat. She had been tricked by Sophia.

"Double standards, to put it bluntly, you just want men, right? Planning to take on some tough jobs to train yourself, are you trying to quickly defeat the Demon King and go back to chase after your Grey Brandt?"

Sofia has pretty much figured out Philippa's love-struck thought process: prioritizing Grey Brandt, she really doesn't know what's so great about that jerk.

However, Sofia at least realized one thing: she shouldn't belittle Grey Brant in front of Philippa, who was in a love-struck state. Not only would it be completely useless, but it would also lower her image in Philippa's eyes, which was definitely not worth it.

But if you tease the two of them as a couple, Philippa will be embarrassed but happy.

Sophia now fully understands that if that Grey Brant is also interested in Philippa, no, even if it's just a superficial lust for her beauty and status, she won't have a single chance.

The only hope lies in the fact that Grey Brant and his fiancée's relationship is strong enough to prevent Philippa from having any chance to interfere.

Yeah, it looks like there's little hope.

Men are all creatures who think with their lower bodies. Her Philippa has looks, a great figure, affection, and status. Which man wouldn't be envious? She's envious too...

Well, the chances are slim anyway.

“However, Sophia, this can’t go on.” Philippa turned to Saintess Yi: “Your hobby is too unconventional… too niche. You probably won’t find anyone who shares it. Why don’t you consider converting your sexual orientation to normal and trying to find a talented young man?”

"No need." If anyone else had advised her like this, Sophia would have exploded, but there was nothing she could do. This was what her princess, the heroine, had said, so she couldn't get angry and had to indulge her.

In response, Sofia said, "It would be much easier to turn you into a lizard than to turn me into a normal person."

Upon hearing this, Philippa suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, Sophia, why do you hate men so much? Could it be that you were deeply hurt by men in the past, and now you're afraid of everything because you were once bitten?"

Sofia shook her head: "No, it's just that I hate it. I feel uncomfortable whenever I see a man—that last sentence was pretty good."

Philippa smiled and boasted, "Impressive, isn't it? Gray said so."

"Tsk." This clicking sound was Sophia's conditioned reflex upon hearing the word "Grey."

But what's wrong with Sofia? Why does she hate men for no reason? Normally, people would hate men because they have a hurtful past, right?

It’s weird.

Philippa felt that if they could investigate further, there was a chance to cure Sofia's misogyny.

Another possibility is that there is a reason, but Sofia is unwilling to say it, so she just made up a reason without a reason.

But Sofia's expression was natural, showing no sign of lying. Or was it that Sofia's skills were so superb that Philippa simply couldn't see the problem?

“I actually hope you can get it treated, so that the relationship will be normal and I won’t feel so uncomfortable…” Philippa whispered.

"Alright, Miss Philippa, let's not worry about that anymore." Sofia felt that this topic was meaningless, so she changed the subject.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t find any good quests? Then let’s just stop looking for quests and go on an adventure!” Sophia continued, “Anyway, we’re not short of money, we don’t need to take on quests to support ourselves. Being free and not taking on quests is even freer than being a free adventurer.”

Philippa thought to herself, "That's true, it's not always necessary to take on commissions and risks..."

Philippa longed for freedom. In the past, adventurers were the symbol of freedom in her eyes. But people in society are always not in control of their own lives. Adventurers are not as free as she imagined, but it is still much better than a princess who can only stay in her boudoir and whose movements are restricted.

No need to learn boring etiquette, no need to be forced to meet boring people.

Compared to before, I am already very lucky and free.

The word "adventure" held a huge attraction for Philippa.

Beyond the sea lies freedom! (Hopefully not the Smurfs)

“Great!” Philippa immediately agreed. “Let’s go find Taric and discuss where to go on our adventure.”

"Tsk." With this second instance, Sophia's misogyny is already in its late stages and beyond saving.

They had spent some time together, but Sofia's attitude towards Taric remained hostile and showed no signs of improvement.

They are a squad, a squad of heroes, so Taric's opinion also needs to be taken into consideration.

Sophia understood this. She wasn't someone who liked to make trouble, but her misogyny often flared up, and she simply couldn't stand it.

"An adventure..."

After learning of the two girls' plans, Taric quickly offered a suggestion: "Why don't you go on a dungeon adventure? Don't go for dungeons that are heavily managed like those on the Holy Light Pilgrimage; try to find newer, wild dungeons."

As a middle-aged man, Taric was also quite fond of adventure.

Wow, so cool! (Anya's voice)

Compared to the two female members of the team, Taric has a much higher level of knowledge about adventure.

This is determined by different educations. Philippa was the daughter of royalty and received a rigorous aristocratic education. It's already quite remarkable that Philippa wasn't raised to be a spoiled princess.

Sophia came from a commoner background, but she quickly discovered her talent for light attributes and was immediately chosen by the Holy Light Church to be a saintess, where she received her education.

However, it is clear that the education the two women received had no effect, otherwise how could they have raised two outstanding talents, Philippa and Sofia?

Tariq is too well-behaved; his family education has been remarkably effective.

Philippa had no objection to Tarik's suggestion, and Sofia, unusually, did not nitpick or make sarcastic remarks.

“In that case…” Philippa, as the squad leader, gave the order: “The secret realm is yours!”
