Hmm... What should I do? I should probably check at least once...

Oh, Hans! What? You're asking about this request?

This is a mission of pretty high rank. I think someone may have sent it over here by mistake.

I mean...

...taking on Van Nader and Van Lucy at the same time? That's much too dangerous.

Both of these demons have shown up recently, but due to their menacing and otherworldly mechanical appearance...

...even the most skilled Summoners avoid fighting them...

Anyway, I'll go report this to my superiors, so could you wait here for just a minute?

There is no need for that.

Eeek! Lord Owen?!

I was the one to send in the request. I think it's the perfect opportunity to see what Hans is truly capable of.

Well, I do agree that Hans has grown quite powerful so far...

...but this mission is--

That mission was meant for me.

Noah!

This is a mission for the Regular Army, so I should be able to take it on too, right?

Of course.

And seeing as you were once leader of the Demon Slayers, I suspect you'll have no trouble completing it.

Hmph.

Noah! What kind of attitude is that in front of Lord Owen?!

It's fine.

The end results are all that matter, so we shouldn't trouble ourselves with the details in between.

Well then, I'm entrusting this mission to you.

Phew! Talking to Lord Owen always makes me kinda nervous.

Noah. You too, Hans.

From what Lord Owen was saying, I can tell that he has really high expectations of both of you.

That's amazing!

Hmph. Well, I'm sure he's aware of my abilities by now. Of course he'd expect great things from me.

But...

...I didn't like him putting me on the same level as Hans. Not one bit...

I have way more power, experience, and talent than Hans.

Ugh, there you go again!

Spare me. Just get my things ready so I can go as fast as possible.

I'm gonna slay those two demons in a flash.

So Hans, you just stay here and gossip with Elise.

Are you going out there by yourself again?

Of course.

My expertise should be more than enough to complete this kinda easy mission.

You just wait and see.

He's gone!

Hans.

Could you please do me a favor?

Please join forces with the others, and complete the mission together! Without pushing yourself too hard, of course.

Well, let me fill you in once again regarding Lord Owen's request.

The two demons which have appeared in the Moize Plains...

...Van Nader and Van Lucy, are the current targets of this mission.

These demons are far more powerful than any other opponents you've faced before.

So please proceed with caution.

I'll be praying for you to come back safe and sound!
