Upon hearing the lord's question, the female adventurer... continued to smile—a mischievous one that found further amusement in the apparent naivety of this young lord.
"Hehe~, oh dear, are you seriously asking the most obvious question, my lord?" she teased, maintaining her almost playful grin.
"W-what are you implying, Miss Vivi...?" the lord, Anastasia, stammered, her voice wavering slightly.
The female adventurer let out a small giggle at the lord's obliviousness. "My lord... I'm an adventurer... so of course, I'm here to hunt down some monsters~!"
"...!"
The female adventurer's casual yet bold statement made Anastasia tense, almost forgetting to maintain her dignified composure.
"Y-you're here... to hunt down monsters...?!"
"That's right~."
And her quick, nonchalant answer only affirmed the lord's bewilderment over the female adventurer.
Anastasia had almost forgotten what kind of land she had been trying to govern.
The Garden of Hell.
