"Since everything's fine, I'll be heading back now."

The Magical Girl dropped her crossed arms to her sides, ready to turn and leave.

"Wait." Shami called out to the Magical Girl, "There's a task that needs to be assigned to you."

"Hmm?"

After a month, the main quest, which had shown no progress, finally appeared.

[Main Quest: Destroy a somewhat renowned mercenary group or adventurer team.]

[Quest Reward: One-Time Teleportation Gate Creation Skill Plus Version]

[Note: The One-Time Teleportation Gate Creation Skill Plus Version can produce high-quality teleportation gates with almost no risk, similar in effect to the Demon King Teleportation Gate.

Functionally, it includes an optional 'teleport back to the Demon King' feature. In terms of creation time, the Demon King can produce one level 3 gate per day.]

After obtaining level 1 One-Time Teleportation Gate Craft, Shami invested 5 skill points to upgrade it to level 6, but the manufacturing efficiency was still low; basically, he could only make ten per month, and it didn't have the ability to locate him.

The One-Time Teleportation Gate had already been verified in practice as a very useful tool. Possessing the plus version would greatly facilitate the Demon Envoy's travels, allowing them to quickly return to him even from faraway places.

"The development of nearby Slimes has been greatly disrupted. There's a mercenary group specializing in hunting Slimes around the Fess Kingdom. This mercenary group has resurfaced, and I want you to take care of them. Assign personnel as you see fit."

Shami instructed the Magical Girl.

The Magical Girl was silent for a moment.

Though a bit hesitant, unsure if her condition would allow her to complete the task, pushing back on the first task Shami assigned her would definitely hurt his feelings.

It's not out of fear of hurting his feelings, mainly... it's just best not to refuse.

"Or do you need to rest?"

The Magical Girl looked at Shami. Don't underestimate the Magical Girl; she isn't concerned about such a small mercenary group.

"No need to rest. Leave it to me."

Before Shami could finish speaking, the Magical Girl casually called out to a few Slimes and stepped through a Teleportation Gate, arriving on a patch of grass.

Shami wanted to provide some additional information, but seeing how hastily the Magical Girl acted, he had no choice but to follow.

The visitor was the newly reformed [Tree Hunter] mercenary group, led by Shute. In their recent frequent activities, Shami's four Slime Nests had already been destroyed.

Initially, Shami wanted to personally deal with these bothersome guys, but when the main quest appeared, he decided to give the Demon Envoy the opportunity to complete it. This would not only allow the Demon Envoy to gain experience but also offer a chance for special rewards upon completing the quest.

As the recently joined Demon Envoy, the Magical Girl was the best candidate to tackle this medium-difficulty main quest.

Currently, Shute was leading his subordinates toward another Slime Nest.

Shami did not use a briefing but stood behind the scenes to observe the battle.

The Magical Girl donned a cloak to conceal her identity, standing behind 5 Poisonous Slimes and 5 Frost Slimes.

Ten Slimes blocked the [Tree Hunter] mercenary group.

"Alert! It's the Slimes!"

"Formation! Form up!"

Over thirty people in the mercenary group quickly arranged into a combat formation. Shute angrily drew his Long Sword and stood at the forefront, shouting at the Poisonous Slimes.

"I've finally found you! Poisonous Slimes! This time, I will send you all to hell!"

The Poisonous Slimes and Frost Slimes looked confused.

"Stop pretending to be innocent. I've already found a way to deal with you."

Shute laughed heartily; whether it was the armor on his body or the special Long Sword in his hand, both were created to counter the Poisonous Slimes.

The battle was about to ignite.

Both sides charged into battle.

In the rear, the Magical Girl under the cloak fidgeted slightly, with a slight pout.

"To think a mercenary group was specially formed to hunt Slimes, what kind of incredible experience have they had? But this lady doesn't have time to mess around with you right now."

Gazing at the soon-to-clash sides, the Magical Girl softly chanted a spell.

On the battlefield.

The experienced and green-haired Shute reminded his subordinates while charging.

"Beware of the Poisonous Slimes' toxins and collisions; their attacks only consist of those! For honor, fight!"

"So motivating, boss! Although this is just a routine battle against ordinary monsters, there's a vibe like we're charging against the Demon King's army!"

"Everyone, my wife is about to give birth. After this battle, I'll become a father, so come drink at the celebration!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted, following Shute to dodge the Poisonous Slime and Frost Slime attacks, preparing to draw their weapons, when a volley of fireballs appeared from behind the Slimes, striking the group like meteors.

[Tree Hunter] mercenary group's personnel decreased by 70%

"What?"

Shute quickly pulled back, looking incredulously ahead.

"After not encountering the Poisonous Slimes for some time, have they evolved to use Fireball Technique?"

"Boss, it's obvious someone's behind the Slimes! Stop being so scared of the Poisonous Slimes!"

The mercenary group's members rolled on the ground trying to extinguish the flames.

The Magical Girl slowly appeared beside the Slimes.
