A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"Well, you missed the point. Please continue.

"Ha... yes.

The woman at the counter restarts her explanation.

"Adventurers' unions basically don't give personal information about adventurers to the state, nobles, etc... anyone.

Exceptions include those who committed and were caught committing crimes, and the provision of personal information to nobles or security agencies only in the process of identifying the bodies.

"Well, naturally.

Takeo nods.

"And here's an explanation for both of you, I'm offering you security cooperation by submitting demonic frequency information from the Adventurers' Union to noblemen, civilian and security agencies every two months in order to get a tax credit.

"Does that mean aggregating what has been accomplished?

"The same is true of the achievement of the demonic crusade, but we hear it in chatter when hearing the results with requests for herb collection, escorts, etc., and we all tally.

"I see... what do you think of the Goblin and other raids ahead?

Takeo listens back.

"Dear Kitamizato, I can't thank you enough.

I didn't expect it to end with victim 0... I didn't think there would be 400 raids.

Later, it was also discussed here at the Adventurers' Union, but even the last minute information showed no sign of goblins being assembled or convoked.

Totally... that raid has a lot of mysteries.

The woman at the counter sighs.

"Really... you didn't have any information.

I tried so hard to repel it... but I'd appreciate more information about it in the future.

"Yes. As soon as we know the signs of being assembled or convened, we've decided to provide information, so we're fine around there.

"Thank you. Keep it coming, please.

Takeo gives a gentle thank you.

"Okay.

So, next up is about adventurers.

Anyone can register as an adventurer.

You can, but you will create a base in some town, city, or capital.

Well, you don't have to live there, so I'll have you register an office that comes good.

Is this where you two are?

"How could that be? Aren't some wandering adventurers?

"Yes.

But for once, the premise is to stay at home.

Somewhere, when you are being moved home, take a record of your travels at the Adventurers' Union where you have gone each time.

This is so that we can see the distribution of adventurers and where adventurers stay.

"Okay.

But do I need to just make a temporary stay and get a record if I'm coming back to my registered home base?

"Basically not, though.

I'm asking you to do me a favor because if you can, you'll know where to stay.

"Okay.

"Next... adventurers are ranked.

Increased rank expands the content of requests you can receive.

That and the rank of each adventurer will be determined by the union, adding the degree to which the request has been fulfilled, the content, the creditworthiness, etc.

This is intended to maintain the credibility of the Adventurers' Union.

Because they don't make people who can't achieve it do high-ranking requests.

"How do you determine the rank that you can handle with your request?

"The Adventurers Union will assess the request for the response rank.

It's not for the client to decide.

"I see."

"Adventurers rank higher to S, A, B, C, D.

"No?

Takeo is astonished.

I came here and didn't see the alphabetical notation S, A, B, C, D.

"Huh? What is it?

The woman at the counter asks.

"No... that's a weird symbol.

"Oh, guys, I'll say the same thing at first.

This is a symbol created by the founders of the Adventurers' Union.

So... it hasn't changed in hundreds of years.

The woman at the counter laughs couscous.

"Really?

Does it make any difference when the rank rises?

"As I said earlier, you'll get a wider range of requests.

Higher ranks also make the bounty more expensive.

Sharing of information between offices is also measured, so if you are above the B rank, you can withdraw coins from us at the Adventurers Union office, which is located in a different location.

If the rank increases, so does the amount you can deposit.

Bonuses above B-rank will basically be managed here and set aside.

If you need cash, please come to the office to withdraw it.

"Okay.

"I explained all the time, do you have any questions?

"Hmm... you don't have one now.

How is Master Takeo?

"Right.

What happens if you exterminate non-target creatures in a crusade request?

"We will pay you an additional reward.

However, bring the target site of the target organism as evidence is required.

The deadline for applications will be one week after the battle.

"Okay.

Does that apply even if you have other crusade requests, such as escort requests?

"It will.

"I see.

And then, with regard to adventurers and unions, can you give a scale or figures for the total number of adventurers per country and for each rank?

And as for our journey, since we are beginners, can we have a journey manual?

"Er... okay.

I'll prepare it later and give it to you.

That explains the overview.

"" Yes.

"Now, if you want to register as an adventurer, please write your name here.

Oh, I'll write down where you two live here, so you don't need to fill it in.

The woman at the counter puts paperwork and writing instruments in front of Takeo and Alice.

Takeo and Alice read the paperwork lightly and fill in their names.

"Yes, then.

Please wait while we register and rate your rank.

Please wait while you read the rules.

and the woman at the counter left a few sheets of paper and headed behind the counter.
