"Are you the ones?"
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the four girls before him. Leading them was a pink-haired girl who looked about twelve or thirteen. Beside her stood a short-haired blonde swordswoman, a red-haired magus, and another... magus?
"What are your names?"
"My name is Mailu."
At Fang Zheng's question, the pink-haired girl at the front spoke up.
"I'm Rena. Everyone calls me 'Rena the Red'!"
"I'm Mavis von Austin."
"I'm Bolin."
After hearing the girls introduce themselves, Fang Zheng spoke as well.
"My name is Fang Zheng. I'm the client for this commission. Will you be handling it from here on out?"
"Y-Yes..."
Feeling Fang Zheng's gaze, the adventurers seemed somewhat uneasy. That was only natural; from their appearances, they were all just children... Of course, Fang Zheng would not underestimate their strength because of that. After all, he had a whole group of little girls on his side as well.
Still, they needed to be tested.
With that thought, Fang Zheng smiled faintly and stared at the four before him.
Then Dragon Might erupted in an instant.
"Urgh...!"
The adventurers' faces immediately turned pale under that Dragon Might. Only the girl at the front, Mailu, still looked completely bewildered, as if she had felt nothing at all.
Hmm... That was about right.
Seeing that the other three were nearly at their breaking point, Fang Zheng frowned slightly. He had not unleashed his full Dragon Might, but their resistance to it gave him some idea of their abilities. The little girl named Mailu was fairly capable. For the other three, they were also not bad for their current age. They could not compare with Megumi or Eris, but they were not much worse than Priestess.
But... their minds were more fragile than he had
