Can I Become an Adventurer Without Gift?

Goulia seems to have liked Hal, who doesn't move and doesn't leak information unannounced, and he colored the reward a lot.

"... can I get this much?

"Absolutely. Rather than that, I wouldn't have a problem paying this much if I thought about the rarity of that material. Still a little more, I expect that from you. [M] Unlike the other adventurers, your eyes are full of strength and hope."

Hal is surprised because Guglia with a full grin told him that from the front.

"Oh, do you have those eyes?

Hal summons a water mirror and checks his eyes. But there was just my face there that I always saw, and it didn't look like there was anything special to dwell on.

"Ha, that's funny. That's a nice place to be. You feel something different from other adventurers. [M] This is my instinct as a former adventurer, but... my instinct works, doesn't it?

Goulia, fond of Hal for his honest reaction, laughed niggardly with his last words.

"... thanks for appreciating me. It would also be appreciated if you put a higher price on this purchase of materials. However, judging by the results of being an adventurer - that's not the prospect or the expectation."

Hal said this with a clear and serious look, as he was just unhappy to be grumbled.

"Hmm, that's an addition. But okay, I'll try not to treat you special unless I get results about you. Well, I'll give you some consideration because I've already got results on the Kohlo case and the other two requests."

Hal decides to convince himself of Guglia's words, who laughed and nodded lightly after a moment of neatness.

I said something more because I thought it would make my relationship with Goulia worse.

"Well, shall we go back?"

"Ah."

Hal gets up when he packs the money he gets into his bag, and the two leave the room behind.

"Oh, he's back!

Returning to the guild hall on the ground floor, the receptionists, who had already finished checking the Kohlo, were waiting for the two of them.

"Hey, hey, sorry to keep you waiting. So, how'd it go with Kohlo?

The receptionist answers Guglia's question with a smile.

"Yeah, it's a great thing! It is beautifully cut, and there are no major scratches except those that are naturally applied. When it comes to more than this, it shouldn't be!

The adventurers around me are also surprised to hear that from a shaggy receptionist.

Their receptionist checks are fairly rigorous and hardly highly regarded. It would be because depending on the handling of the material, it would also involve the credibility of the guild.

It was shocking that they were raising their hands and judging it to be good.

"Hmm, as expected, but that's a very good thing. I'm sorry, but can you take it to the warehouse?

Copy that, sir.

A bear beast, the receptionist lifts the armor forcefully and takes it to the warehouse in the back.

"Well, then, Hal, will you register your request achievement? I paid you first for the reward, so you just have to go through the process."

"Yes, it's already done there. Mr. Hal, you're returning your card. And the Adventurer Rank went up by two to become D-Rank!

Hal, who received the card from Alicia, tilts his neck with an unexpected look when he hears a word.

"D-Rank!? I've only done three requests... why not two at once?

Hal was right about the doubt, and the adventurer in the hall was nodding.

"I think it's a natural question...... I'll explain. Usually, the rank goes up one by one. This is a basic rule, and I think you all know that."

Everyone was nodding, not just Hal, to Alicia's explanation of the bitter laughter.

"But there are special provisions for this. This request - what Mr. Hull accomplished was the delivery of the power turtle's methyl. This request is highly challenging and is not usually received by F-rank adventurers."

Against this, there is also a voice that says yes indeed.

"And Mr. Hull was left with more results than originally requested. I brought the Grand Power Turtle's armor. It is the Alliance's decision that those with all that power cannot be placed in the F-rank."

Alicia looks satisfied when she finishes her explanation.

"Oh, uh... can I ask you a question?

One of the adventurers was raising a terrible hand.

"Yes, go ahead!

Feeling good, Alicia encourages the question vigorously.

An adventurer who casts a question for a moment on her moody face, which she usually doesn't see, turns bright red on her face and stops the words, but never opens her mouth to will.

"Well, I don't doubt it, but I don't think there's any certainty that he's taken down the demon... if you buy it or give it to him, right?

If that's all you've defeated a strong demon, it's proof of strength, but if it's something you've bought from somewhere, you don't know strength - his question was there.

"Hmm, sounds like you're making a little mistake. In the first place, we guilds don't basically ask questions about the process leading up to fulfilling the request. Even if you ask questions with interest, that doesn't affect the outcome. Unless it's a criminal act."

It was Goulia who answered that question.

"The power to accomplish a request - the power in this case is not just the power of battle. We have a gift, so we may not have to defeat it to get the Kohlo. Then there's no point in asking. Well... just to add, Grand Power Turtle's methyl rarely goes on the market. Even if I did, I'd be able to pluck a lot of money."

That's all you can tell, right? and with a meaningful grin, Guglia finishes her explanation.

"Ha...... well simply put, I have the power to make difficult requests, so is it okay to increase the rank?

Hal puts the explanation so far into one word.

"That's right."

With Alicia's acknowledgement of it, the adventurers were convinced to scatter.

"... thank you. Now I can take other requests."

When Hal finally sighed losing interest from his surroundings, he said so, leaving the counter and moving to the request board.

"- Come on, you're still gonna take something."

It was Zaus, the A-rank adventurer, who called me that.

Watching what happened, he was worried that Hal, who had just returned, would be asked to continue standing.

"Oh, I want to get more and more requests because I can finally act as an adventurer. It also broadened the range of requests you can receive by becoming a D-rank at once."

Hal's eyes look glittering when he said that instead of the unsympathetic words.

"... well, don't push it"

Zaus laughed so gently that he decided to smile and watch over Hull.
