"Oh, I see, so the archer is Lo...Lo...."

"It's Roel!" With the black hair and his black wolf ears swayed atop his face, the man with his face covered said with indignation.

"Ah, then, the Pinky one is Mars-"

"I am Margaret, the Vice Captain filled with love and wisdom!" With a provocative dress, the pink-haired girl with her face covered had her wolf ears stand on end as she said so.

"Well... I see... Then, the little kid and the little guy are..."

"I'm not a little guy! I'm Barbara, the cold-blooded strategist!" Holding twin daggers, the shota shouted angrily, then turned to his loli companion and said, "Banana! Say something too!"

"Zzzz...! Huh? Do- do you need Banana's Area of Effect Explosion Magic!?"

The loli, carrying a bunch of magic scrolls and holding a magic book, woke up and began chanting magic.

Despite not seeing any Area of Effect (AOE) magic being activated, the shota forcefully grabbed her cheeks to prevent the explosion.

"Alright! I get it. So now, let me repeat it. The captain is the archer guy, Lo...Lo...."

Derisha nodded and immediately tried to say the name she had heard a few seconds ago. But within seconds, she froze in place, her expression distressed.

Yeah, from the look of it, she forgot their name again.

"I can't take it anymore!" "I can't accept this!" "This is outrageous!" "Zzzz..."

The four dog-people then scattered, and the magical orbs that could produce cool spotlight effects disappeared, and the eighth replay has began.

"Deng deng deng deng! Deng deng deng deng! Do you see it? The wolf's footsteps racing under the moonlit mist!"

"Howl! Howl! Who is it? Who is it? Who is calling the wild wolf's howl?"

"The wind! The noisy wind blowing inside us!"

"Lurking in the cold night, dancing in the flashes of swords and blades!"

"The supreme leader, Roel!"

"The Vice Captain filled with love and wisdom, Margaret!"

"The cold-blooded strategist, Barbara!"

"Banana."

"Wild Four Wolves, the Red Wolf Mercenary Corps!!! Here to be your opponents!"

...I have to say, no matter how many times I watch it, that final pose of theirs is just hilarious.

It reminds me of a classic villain from a certain TV show from Earth about a kid that captures animals in a ball and uses them in duels.

Tanaya had already woken up and joined the audience during the second replay. Now she and Alice were drowning in silent laughter.

Looking at the reactions of the others around, Grace and Melon had already casually picked up snacks, while Barella... her reaction was more genuine, she looked bewildered.

Derisha? Derisha was just being herself.

Speaking of which, there's something I want to comment on.

If you look closely, those light orbs that created the sound and light effects, each one is actually controlled by a shadowy creature with a completely black body...

[Shadow Beast - Wolf_LV1_HP: 1/1_Status: Normal_Title: Summon]

Watching these summoned creatures clinging to the prop tree on the stage, it seemed like they could collapse at any moment due to the presence of "Margaret, The Vice Captain filled with love and wisdom" and the sleepy loli Banana.

On the other side, a group of cute summoned creatures that were diligently playing the background music suddenly made me want to cry. They were just too dedicated!

So-called, "ten minutes on stage, ten years offstage." Regardless of how absurd that unexpected performance was, let's pay our respects to those cute creatures working diligently behind the scenes!

[Roel - Ain'gelle_LV 61_HP: 3150/3150_Status: Normal_Title: Shadow Walker]

[Margaret - Ain'gelle LV 57 HP: 2753/2753 Status: Normal Title: Soul Harvester]

[Barbara LV 53 HP: 2456/2456 Status: Normal Title: None]

[Banana LV 61 HP: 1024/1024 Status: Normal Title: Magic Developer]

Hmm!? These guys are unexpectedly powerful! Three of them even have titles.

There aren't many people who can have titles, at least you won't see them on regular adventurers.

... Derisha! I will leave those guys to you! Make sure to keep them busy!

"This... this is just too much..."

"I feel uncomfortable."

"I feel like crying."

"Zzzzz..."

In a match between a Dumb vs. Silly person, Silly wins. The edgy Red Wolf Mercenary Corps fragile hearts are shattered on the floor.

Ah, except for that sleeping loli.

"Roel, who sent you guys here?" I used [Party Telepathy] to communicate with Derisha and asked these funny groups.

"Hmph! In non-essential situations, I won't reveal the client's name or the information regarding our mission!, it's a mercenary's professional ethics!"

"Professional ethics are the guiding principles of this strategist!"

"I absolutely won't say it's for the Miracle Water and the one next to you—"

"Shut up, Margaret!"

"She really let it slip!"

"Zzzzz..."

The one who sent these guys turned out to be Orlan Dorat! That makes sense now.

...Sending a bunch of morons like this, could it be that the [Sacrament Wardens] are really out of capable officers right now?

I looked at Alice, and she just shrugged helplessly.

Well, it's not that simple to deal with the church's matters. To really avoid trouble, maybe escaping to another country to lie low is a good option. After all, the information value of the Miracle Water is priceless, so it's only natural that those in power won't want too many people to know, especially outsiders from other countries. Using this to escape trouble in another country is the best option in the current situation.

This time, we are lucky that the party that Orlan sent is these four. You never know what will happen next time, and maybe a person at Lori level will appear, and they won't have enough lives to spare.

"Darn it! If it weren't for my big sister being taken away..."

"Shut up, Margaret!"

"Don't expose weaknesses to this strategist!"

Hmm? Big sister?

Never mind, it's none of my business, and I already know what I wanted to know.

Derisha glanced at me for my opinion, and I shrugged.

"Get going, we don't want to fight." After saying so, Derisha waved her hand, indicating that they should leave.

"Remember this! I am the supreme leader, Roel! You're lucky this time! Next time, you won't be so fortunate!" Roel jumped up and pointed at Derisha.

"Remember, I'm not Pinky; I'm Margaret, The Vice Captain filled with love and wisdom!"

"I am Barbara, the strategist!!!"

"Hmm? Mmm, I'm Banana." The loli woke up at some point.

"Alright, we'll remember you as Ro-ya, Pinky, Bar-gle, and Ban-na-na." Derisha nodded solemnly and then called the wrong name.

I suddenly felt sorry for these four.

"Next time, we'll definitely, definitely make you remember our names!!!!"

The four of them howled in unison, followed by a sudden explosion, creating a small mushroom cloud in the shape of a wolf's head on the ground.

Then, the four of them disappeared from my [Mini-Map].

...Next time? Are we being targeted by some strange organization?

Well... it's okay. Derisha is still with us. Huh? What's that sound? Why is there an eagle cry coming from the sky?

"Perverted Goblin!!! You drugged our food!!!!" A furious female voice roared like a lion.

Initially, I wondered whether the Vassal of Light and her party could catch up with the [Dog House],considering that a typical horse-drawn carriage couldn't catch up with us due to leaving a few hours earlier than them, but it seems I underestimated them a lot.
