"That old man just turned you into a sheep!"
The bearded man helped Joey up and whispered something behind him.
"A sheep?"
Good heavens, Joey never dreamed that she would have such a bizarre experience, and at the same time, she became awestruck by this archmage.
"I wonder what brings you here?"
Joey's tone was very respectful.
"The city lord noticed you've been here for a while and figured you might be getting bored, so he's given you a mission to go out!"

"Since it's the city lord's order, I will definitely do it. After all, my current identity is Lady Catherine's guard, and I still have to continue my shift!"
