ASCII Media Works began publishing the series under their Dengeki Bunko imprint in March 2021. A manga adaptation illustrated by Suzu Yūki began serialization in Dengeki Daioh magazine in June 2021.

Plot[edit]

Alina Clover became an adventurer guild receptionist because she thought it would be an easy and secure job, but unfortunately for her she has the vexing job dealing with meatheads and egotists, having to remind them of regulations; plus her coworkers constantly dump their unfinished share of the work on her, giving her unpaid overtime. It doesn't help that Dungeon bosses are unbeatable for long periods of time, which leads to more paperwork. Secretly, Alina has moments when she snaps and uses her divine skill to summon a powerful hammer to go after the bosses herself; venting all her frustrations on the monster.

Unfortunately, the leader of an adventurer group caught sight of her and is determined to add her to his party. With the threat of termination from her secure job for "side work" looming, can Alina shake him off?

Characters[edit]

Main[edit]

Alina Clover (アリナ・クローバー, Arina Kurōbā)
Voiced by: Rie Takahashi[2]
Receptionist at the Ifuru Counter, having worked there for three years. She has a first-class license, given to the top 10% of those with powers. Though she herself doesn't understand why she can use her divine realm skills, she has the power to destroy relics with one hand. In order to live a carefree life, she finishes overtime work the same day, as she grew tired of rolling it over to the next day. Alina always thinks about eliminating her overtime work and even directly negotiates with the guild master Glenn. Also known as the "Executioner".
Jade Scrade (ジェイド・スクレイド, Jeido Sukureido)
Voiced by: Kentarō Kumagai[3]
Leader and shield/tank of the Silver Sword. He is dexterous and helps Alina with her overtime work. The first adventurer to develop multiple super-range skills, he can also double activate his own skills. He has feelings for Alina.
Lyra (ライラ, Raira)
Alina's junior and a new receptionist. She has a crush on the executioner, whom she later realizes is Alina. There is a magic circle carved into her arm.

Supporting[edit]

Lowe Rossbrender (ロウ・ロズブレンダ, Rou Rozuburenda)
Rear guard/back attacker. He is a black mage who can use powerful attack magic.
Lululi Ashford (ルルリ・アシュフォード, Rururi Ashufōdo)
Healer. Belonged to another party before Lululi, who was just starting out, became impatient with her party members who were unable to recover in time, and left them dead.
Guns (ガンズ, Ganzu)

Glenn Gallia (グレン・ガリア, Guren Garia)
Guild master. Former member of the Silver Sword. Can use the super-range skill Time Observer. While active, he was shunned by fellow adventurers and was cold, stubborn, and selfish, but the presence of his adopted daughter changed his personality. He retired when he was 25 and became guild master soon after. In order to revive his deceased daughter, he fits a demon core into his left hand, which mutated his super-range skill; he was able to return to the past but was defeated by the boss and his party members were reduced to ashes.
