When Shiraori left the adventurers guild, she left towards the east, also the place where her quest takes place.
Her quest is to scout and eliminate 50 earth lizards, earth lizards are basically just big and strong lizards with the ability to manipulate the earth around them to the point where it's like moving their own limbs and as easy as breathing.

Shiraori stopped at a restaurant before leaving and ordered 10 sandwiches, these were of course to take with her so she has food while traveling, after all, why would she fly if she could take it easy anyway and it also presents a chance for her to scout the surrounding area.

After 20 minutes of waiting Shiraori got her sandwiches, payed the bill and left the Establishment.

Another 10 minutes later she stumbles upon a dark alley that radiates hatred and malicious intent, Shiraori disappeared from the street and instantly reappeared at the end of the alley, she looked around but couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from and as such resorted to using magic in order to determine the cause of it.
Shiraori sent out a small pulse of magic that covered half a mile in distance and discovered that hidden passage along the left wall that was revealed after tapping the outsticking brick.

Shiraori decided that she would follow the hidden passage to the end and ended up in a huge room littered with hundreds if not thousands of cages, every cage holding something or someone, it was even easy to tell which ones were criminal slaves and which ones were not, the criminal slaves all had scars littering their bodies and the kidnapped slaves were showered no outwards scars or injuries but instead looked ragged in appearance.
Shiraori didn't free them and instead walked passed the cages and into a sideroom, this sideroom was the office of the person that ran this place, evidenced by the fact that there were heaps in documents laying around, some of them were about auction selling and others were secret sellouts to corrupt higher ups in the government as either maids, butler, or bed-warmers.
Shiraori got mad at last option but quickly calmed down and continued searching.

In the end there was nothing much to find about selling them. Their was no name, so she didn't know who it belonged to and their was no information regarding clients, only meeting places and times.
Shiraori quickly teleported towards the guard station placed down a letter concerning the location of the base, entrance and function.
The guard which had been sitting in a chair looked up at the distinct sound of falling paper and read the note, he quickly yelled "Group up, we've got news regarding slave trade around the borders of the city, be ready in 5!!"

Shiraori having reappeared near the alley had walked out of the alley and quietly walked towards the forest in the east again.

After 25 minutes, the guards had arrived at the alley and quickly searched for the entrance, one the the guards had quickly noticed the brick and pushed it opening the hidden passage.
The guards quickly ran down the passage in formation and arrived at the giant room noticing the hundreds of cages filled with slaves.
The guards called for extra personnel in order to bring these slaves into a shelter specifically made for slaves that have nowhere to go, if the slave is a child then they will have the choice of getting adopted by a family and adults can choose what type of work they're going to do and most of the time they join the guard in order reprimand slave traders and abolish slavery.

The guards had opened all the cages and had two people stand on the lookout for unexpected visitors, another 4 guards were sent to check the office in order to find anything that may of use to the investigation.

The slaves that have just been freed by the guards had still not snapped out of their trance like state until a guard snapped their finger in front of one the teens in order to attract their attention.
The guard managed to get the teens attention and asked "Do you know anything about this place and who runs it?" The teen nodded and answered with a dry voice "H-Here .. is w-wher-re the s-slaves are sold a-an--" the guard noticed the teens pain while speaking and cut her off "Stop for moment, once we get to the station we will give you something to drink and then you can answer us, is that okay?"
The teen nodded and stayed silent.

After half an hour they managed to gather all the slaves and lead them towards the closest shelter which was 10 minutes away.
The slaves quickly settled down and were given food and drinks.
The teen from before was brought in for questioning and soon every slave had been questioned.

Now we go back to Shiraori who had long since arrived at the forest but was now just looking around in order to pick-up on any signs of a big lizard having been around here.
Shiraori had noticed several marks on the trees and ground but they weren't form earth lizards, these tracks were from smaller and possibly weaker monsters that live around here.

After 40 minutes of slowly exploring this forest she managed to find a nest of earth lizards, this nest consisted of a giant carved out portion of the mountain and many soft patches of soft grass covering the stones and ground.
The earth lizards were laying down next to the little pond in the middle of their 'cave'.
Shiraori had sent out a pulse of magic alerting the now 71 earth lizards around the pond.
Shiraori took the scythe from her back and dodged and incoming earth lizards bite, the earth lizards raised it's tail and a spike of earth shot out of the ground aiming towards Shiraori who blocked it by simply opening her eyes, she then glanced at the earth lizard that had now turned to dust leaving nearly nothing behind.
The 70 remaining lizards weren't fazed at all and instead rushed full in.

Lizards 2 and 3 were quickly decapitated, lizard 4 died due to a punch that Shiraori launched at him, lizard 5 was vaporized and lizard 6 was kicked into lizard 7,8 and 9 before stopping at the wall.
Lizard 10 was crushed by her magic pressure while lizards 11-17 were obliterated with a magic blast.
Lizard 18 slashed at Shiraori before falling onto the ground in a thousand pieces.
Lizards 19-31 were all killed by portruding earth spikes and 32-37 were sliced in two with single attack. None of the lizards had any time to react as Shiraori swept through their forces in mere instants, everytime she disappeared at least 5 lizard die.
38, 39 and 40 were also killed as they were sent flying backwards through the wave of water that swept another 5 lizards with it.
46-53 were instantaneously killed with an attack that warped the fabric of space itself.
54-61 were vaporized by a magic beam that tore a hole through the mountain as 62-71 were now running away in all directions but were quickly subdued by the forest of earth spikes.
Shiraori looked at the quest paper she copied and read at the bottom of the page (left horn required.)
Shiraori collected all the horns and noticed that there were a few missing, Shiraori noticed that there were only 62 left of the 71 lizards so she opted to copying them with her magic.

After Shiraori returned to the guild, she walked towards the receptionist and handed over the 71 horns as well as the quest paper.
The receptionist stamped the quest and stored away the horns, she then stamped Shiraori's card and went back to work.

Shiraori arrived home late afternoon and noticed Rimuru sitting naked on the couch while watching tv and eating chips.
Shiraori dropped her clothes and joined Rimuru on the couch, Rimuru wrapped her arm around Shiraori's shoulder and they enjoyed the rest of the day watching tv and making dinner.
