Elena took Hermes to her mini world and even used time acceleration to finish his reforming as soon as possible. Hermes did behave rudely toward them but she did not judge his wrongdoing to be too severe so her punishment was not very scary. Elena needed to inflict some amount of pain on him at first as without that an arrogant person like Hermes would never listen to any word of hers. So she first made Hermes to be scared of herself and then she told him why his behaviour was bad and what he needed to change.

In his fear, Hermes listened to every word Elena said and reflected on his behaviour for the last century or so. After contemplating on this matter inside a dark prison for an unknown amount of time, he started to feel regret over it and wanted to change himself and only then Elena took him out of the prison. Even though Hermes had spent a long amount of time inside the prison, only a few minutes had passed in the outside world. So when Hermes reappeared once again with a completely changed personality, it almost looked like Hermes' mind was manipulated to change his personality. But obviously that was not the case.

Soon Monika woke up and saw her grandfather smiling happily with her friends. When she asked Dalia what happened, she told her that she suddenly fainted and fell asleep so her grandpa got very worried about her. At that time Elena helped her with wood and light magic and Monika got alright. And after seeing Elena helping his beloved granddaughter, Mister Hermes started to feel like the girls were not bad people and started to get along with them.

Dalia felt a little bit bad about lying to Monika but after seeing the happy and relieved smile on her face, Dalia knew that her little white lie was a good thing.

...

After this incident, Hermes sold the girls fruits without creating any more problems. As this was not a needed purchase for their journey Elena paid for the fruits with her own money otherwise the girls would really not be able to afford them. When Elena said she would be coming to this world, her friend Youel had given her permission to create as many gemstones as she needed. So Elena really had unlimited money in this world.

Elena had actually used a bit of mind manipulation on Hermes to make him forget what Elena actually did to him. He just remembered that he was defeated by her and then she told him many things that he had never noticed and then he thought things through and improved his personality. So Elena went from being a god in his eyes to becoming just simply a powerful person.

After selling the fruits, once again all the girls sat down in the drawing room. This time Hermes served everyone the fruit juice and honey water properly and everyone also accepted it. Then after a little chit-chat he asked Eldriana for a favour. Now that Hermes' behaviour had improved Eldriana had no problems with him and asked him about the favour.

Hermes told them that an auction was going to take place in the Halsdorwen city the day after tomorrow and there he had gotten news that various seeds of rare fruit plants would be sold there. But unfortunately he had some important work on that day and would not be able to attend the auction. So, he wanted to request the girls to attend it on his behalf to buy all the things related to plant and farming there. He was also offering them a good amount of pay for this simple help. He also wanted them to bring his granddaughter along with them for the auction.

This was a very simple request to fulfill and they needed as much money as possible before reaching the city of Nigur, so she decided to accept this mission. Hermes gave them a black card of that auction house. It had quite a huge amount of money inside and Monika had the permission to use this card. That way they would be able to make the payment. Only sending Monika was not an option as she was still very young and an auction house was not a very safe place. So Elena and her group was a good solution to this problem.

...

After taking the request from Hermes, the girls left his house. Then Monika apologized to them once again and also went on her way after making the plan to meet again the day after tomorrow. There was still some time before evening, so the girls decided to take a look at this city's explorer office.

The scale of this city's explorer office was incomparable to the one that they saw in the village of Bouhou. The office here was big, well decorated and looked like a high class establishment. Most of the famous figures in the history of this world were explorers and for that reason this job was very popular. Ruins were a dangerous place and many explorers died while investigating ruins. But even then, many people still became explorers with the dream of one day leaving their name in a legend.

Ruin exploration was not the only thing that the explorers did. This job was like adventuring and just like adventurers many explorers also did many odd jobs. The only big difference was the fact that monster extermination was not a very common job here. That was because in this world there was another job called hunters and these hunters were specialised in monster extermination. Actually Elena also planned to register in the hunter association too, but unfortunately the village of Bouhou did not have a hunter association so they were unable to become a hunter there. Tomorrow the girls planned to visit the hunter association of this city to register themselves as hunters there.

The hunter association and the explorer office had a harmonious relationship and most of the explorers also registered as hunters. But hunters also could take mercenary jobs so not all hunters were explorers and vice versa. As there was only a single high level ruin close to this city, Eldriana and Dalia would not be able to go there, so Elena decided to register with the hunter association to take some simple extermination jobs here to earn some extra money while staying in this city.

...

The next day, Elena went to the hunter association with her group in the noon after having their lunch. They spent their morning inside the inn room taking a lecture about magic from Elena. Dalia was a mage and Eldriana was also trying to learn magic, so Elena decided to give them some fundamental knowledge about magic to make their base stronger.

They did not go to the hunter association early in the morning because, that would be a busy time for both the hunters and the receptionists. Trying to register at that moment would just create problems for everyone and would make them late. So, they decided to go to the hunter association a bit late to avoid that busy time.

Just as they expected, currently the hunter association was quite empty and the girls would be able to take their sweet time registering. So they went to one of the receptionists who was free at that moment and told her that they wanted to register. The registration process was very similar to the explorer office and very soon they had their cards identifying them as licensed hunters.

The only difference from their registration as explorer was the fact that they were not registered as rank 1 newbies. As the hunter association and explorer office had a cooperative relationship, the hunter association believed the explorer office's assessment about the girls to be correct and gave them the ranks mentioned in their explorer license.

This went even better than Elena had expected and they happily took one of the remaining extermination jobs and went out of the city.
