Episode 118 Promotion Ceremony
- The city and makeshift hall of Pars
Promotion ceremony day. We go to the city centre, to the temporary venue built in the multi-purpose square used during the festivities. Next to the aisle in the center of the venue is a chair for guests, and the general visitors are made to see from the outer perimeter of the hall. But creating a venue of this magnitude in three days is amazing. Is it still due to the power of skills?
"Ah, Kelvin! You were already here."
"Morning, Ange. Do me a favor today."
"Haha. It's an honor to have a new S-class adventurer ask for you. Yeah, I'm on a big boat. I got it."
She said Ange will accompany her as an escort for the day and guide her through promotion ceremonies and mock games. Ange is the closest member of the Alliance's staff. Maybe Rio cared for me.
"It's a little early, but I think I'll explain today's schedule first"
Take the paper out of the pochette Ange put on his shoulder and distribute it to everyone. Hmm, sounds like today's schedule.
"The ceremony starts at 10: 00. Until then, I'm free and okay, but I wonder if it would help if you would wait early. You can get dressed in the armoire because we have a guild ready for the number of people."
"You're gonna do it in costume? I thought it would be good for a mock match."
I've just worn my current favorite black robe, the Wisdom Embrace (Astaroto Brace), and I'm in the mood for it.
"I'm sorry. It's not a decision, but our guild leader is weirdly motivated. I think I made everyone's share. For once, you can wear it to any ceremony because it's an Alliance approved ceremony. Because I'll give it to you for free, just put up with it during the promotion ceremony...... is that it? What about Mr. Mel?
"Mel, hey, I'm not feeling well and I'm off today. I haven't been well since yesterday."
"Really? I have to go visit you later."
Rion explains to Ange on the pretext of ill health, but this is a bright red lie. Melfina is in my magic right now. As I used to talk to Melfina, it's a response to keep her from showing up against the people of Colette and Delamis. I don't think we need to go that far, but the others say that Corlette is very likely to feel against Melfina. Are you telling me that Dada is not taking protection from Melfina and playing witch? Witch of Delamis, you're a boulder.
'Yes, but do you say you don't...'
"Hmm, did I say something?
'... I actually think it would be quicker to meet'
You've been looking a little weird about Melfina since this morning. Is it really not well?
"When the ceremony is over safely, we'll have lunch and in the afternoon it's a mock game we've been waiting for. Guests from other countries come to the game to say one way or the other. We can only watch S-level games like this."
"Kelvin, you must win! Because if I lose, I won't know!
"Naturally, I'm serious about winning."
Serra is under a lot of tension this morning.
"Se, sela, you're weird."
Ange has been sneaking in my ears.
"Yesterday, there was a lot going on. Well, leave me alone."
"It is. Kelvin's in trouble too...... I'll talk to you if you have any problems, so count on me!
"Thanks, Ange. It'll help."
Ange is still a good friend. I want to keep you company as a friend.
"Your husband. We have two more hours to go to the ceremony, how are you?
"You came a little too soon. Kill time somewhere..."
"Oh, Kelvin, aren't you and Gerard's uncle?
I heard a wild voice from behind. I don't have to turn around to find out who it is. Gerard's upset.
"Pretty. You swing it yesterday."
As I expected, it was Goldiana Pretiana who was behind it. My makeup looks thicker and more stylish than when I met you before. Is this Pretty Dress Up? You're in danger.
"Yeah. It's finally a promotion ceremony today. I'm watching you in the shadows too, so keep up the good work."
"Ha, that's comforting."
"Still, we still have time for the ceremony, huh? I'm going to be my favorite coffee shop, and I was just going to do some reading while I was having some mornings... do you guys want to come with me?
Capi! and hearts fly from the wink, but this belongs to Gerrard. I can't take it. Let's avoid it.
"It's not even my fault!
Yeah, Gerard avoided the impending heart, too. Absolutely, you lighter.
But coffee shops aren't a bad choice. It sounds like Pretty can tell us some interesting stories, and we'll be here together.
"We're wasting our time, and we're gonna get in the way."
"Oh really!?
"Ange's with me. - What's up?
When I saw it, Ange was solidified.
"Kelvin, Kevin. That one is" Peach Ghost "Gordiana Pretiana from the Western Continent. Yikes!? When did you get to know each other?
"Is that it? Didn't you hear about one thing with Serra?
"Mr. Serra's? Lyon's here to report on the new dungeon? What does that have to do with Mr. Goldiana?
Hmm? Isn't it Pretty who contacted the guild?
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm in Kerr. You didn't tell me the details. I was the one who went to report the monster crusade in the new dungeon. I tried to get Pretty's name out, but I didn't have to ask if I needed a share.... and put me and Jerrah in front of the guild and went into the mansion alone."
"... so Lion arrived at the Mansion one step late"
Well, the guard golems will react if Pretty alone storms in.
"No, I... I ran ahead."
"Pretty girl looks just like you already."
Pretty with her tongue out and turning red. No, I want our women to do those poses.
"And the raven is also horny! Let's go to the coffee shop! Talk about it!
We killed time at the Pretty Push Coffee Shop, and time travels there to the venue hall. Once we broke up in front of the venue, we went to the lobby and Pretty went to the guest room.
"That was quite an atmospheric coffee shop."
"Oh. I thought it might be a bit more outmoded, but surprisingly, Pretty's got good taste."
Except for my own clothes. Now, let's just say I change into the outfit that Rio has prepared for me where I calm my feelings.
"Well, this is the dress."
Ange gives me the package. Each seemed to have a different type of ceremonial garment, and mine was an aristocratic black outfit. Decorations are made at the mall, with wings engraved, the crest of the Pars Adventurer's Guild.
Effil, Selah, Lyon and other women can be dressed to suit their own atmosphere. These are designs that Alliance staff have been working on all night. Hey, that's where you've been putting your strength. Wings carved, just like my courtesy clothes, and a pretty high rank as A-grade.
"I also have Mel's dress for you, so give it to me later"
"Copy that. I'll be glad to hear it."
"E, Effil! I don't have a hole through my wings and tail in this dress!
'No problem. I left my sewing tools with Crowe, so you can fix them if you have a few seconds'
Serra's in a hurry, but if you leave it to Effil, you don't seem to have a problem.
Now, Gerrard in armor is given a white exterior with engraved wings, but due to the 'self-modifying' characteristics, if equipped, the deep red exterior (crimson cloak) disappears. What's the matter? Or you can't even remove this exterior once you're equipped.
"Hmm, Lord Ange. I'm sorry about all the personal circumstances, but can I keep doing this?
"Ah, Mr. Gerrard is fine. He never took off his gear, so he gave up his guild leader."
"Ugh, um. Really...?
Gerard, I think something's strangely misunderstood.
"Kelvin's in the dressing room over there, and Effil and the others can get dressed in the women's dressing room over here. Because I'll come and get you when it's time. As we talked about at the coffee shop, don't worry, just say" yes "to the ceremony. Bye ~"
Ange pushes me and pushes me into the dressing room alone.
"... do you want to get dressed"
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems a shame for some reason."
