System vs Rebirth

"Hm?! There is a big fight in the front." The muscular man from the Supreme Devil Organization looked up. "Qiel, should we interfere and make them owe us something?"

"While it might be good to gather some information, we've been tasked to do it secretly unless it's necessary. So, no." The old woman called Qiel shook her head.

"Still, do you know how far they have gone?"

"I believe it's not that far away. Don't you remember that we've gotten the clue?" Qiel sighed.

Nelfer couldn't say anything, remembering that they managed to gain a clue about a person with a masquerade. The previous town had given them that information, allowing them to track Noel.

"Still, it's been a few days. Don't you think he has gone even further? It will be hard to find him in the middle of the desert."

"That's why we're going to the cities before him. In any case, we'll be looping around."

But before Nelfer could agree, a figure appeared before her and said, "We've found what we believe to be the second son of the Grand Protector. If we're not wrong, there is also a Great Protector called Legolaz."

"Huh?!" Qiel widened her eyes. The Supreme Devil Organization obviously had a lot of information about other kingdoms as well, especially the high-ranking people, so they didn't provoke them so much that it led to war. But it was surprising that they would find the second prince in this place. "Are you sure?"

"We have confirmed their identities with all the records we have."

"Hoh? The second prince…" Nelfer smirked. "Don't you think it's good to make them owe us?"

Qiel looked down, falling into deep thought. On the one hand, their focus was on Noel. On the other hand, having someone at that level helping them search for Noel would be beneficial to them.

Before making a decision, she asked, "What kind of problem are they facing?"

"A single Superior Demon and its followers. There are only a few hundred."

"If it's only that, we can take care of it within thirty minutes. Don't you think this is a perfect opportunity, old hag?!"

"Thirty minutes for the favor…" Qiel nodded her head. "Sure. Let's go with that. Nelfer will lead ten people to exterminate the demons. I'll provide you with some—"

Before she finished her words, another person appeared to report. "Ma'am! We have a situation over there."

"Huh?" Even Nelfer became confused. They had brought a lot of experts this time, so they shouldn't have any problems dealing with the enemies. So, this emergency looked serious.

"What's wrong?" Qiel asked.
