I got scared of Lena's words, but I had already put too much booze in them.

"If you can beat a few A-rank guys, it could be dangerous... The armor's coming off..."

I wear weapons like swords without removing them as they are in the habit of adventurers, but armor often just takes them off. It's heavy and disturbing.

"Lena, you really don't even have a killer, do you?

"That's what happens when it's a sign of my perception. The kings know exactly what we're capable of, and we're not supposed to do anything nasty."

Still, scary things are scary.

What the hell are you hiding?

And the air in the room changed even more, so I was extra frightened.

Suddenly, his voice was lowered, and the silence came.

What? What's going on?

Fortunately, it wasn't the enemy.

Abtar, the king, was entering the room.

No matter how much, even a luxurious adventurer gets quiet in front of the king.

It's not like there's a stage, so there's going to be a king at the same height as us. That makes me nervous, too.

"Guys, this was a really hard time exploring the Lacri Relationship Historic Site. It would necessarily also lead to the national interests of the Kingdom of Gartred. It turns out that there's already some material that says magic about disease healing. If we can restore this magic, we might be able to help cure it."

From among the adventurers: "Whoa!" The voice goes up.

That is a great achievement. We feel rewarded, too.

"This, too, is all thanks to a party centered around Cage the Adventurer. Let me thank you once again."

"If it seemed to meet your expectations, I would be fortunate…"

I drowned a little on behalf of the party.

There the king slapped his hand out first. Others came out clapping their hands, and the sound of nature and applause began to sound.

That's a good place to praise and kill. Honestly, it's not even a lot.

But Lena said the air was weird and everyone was hiding something.

No way, there's no need for other adventurers to hide the King's appearance.

"So I thought about what I should do to achieve this feat as a king."

I could see the king watching each of our parties in turn. My gaze came on me too.

"Cage, Misha, Lena - I'm going to certify those three as S-rank adventurers"

"What?"

Cheers and applause went up before we could react. Now it didn't start flat, it sounded aligned from the beginning.

Isn't this the kind of reaction you knew earlier?

"It's the arm of a golden S-rank adventurer. I'll give this to you on behalf of my country."

And I gave Misha, who was nearby, that armband first.

"Oh, thank you......"

Still, pompous Misha. Neither do I. I haven't heard that story.

Then came the king to me and Lena this time.

"He's an S-rank adventurer without complaining because he supported the nation so much. Congratulations."

"Yes...... Thank you Happiness..."

I'm respectful, I got it.

No heart or I felt heavier than previous A-ranked silver armbands.

Martina says, "Congratulations to all three, S-rank adventurers!," he said with a voice.

Along with that, a loud voice goes up.

"Oh well... The other adventurers were informed... Sir, the air was weird because of this."

Makes the face that Lena was good at it.

"I see...... Then I can tell the story..."

The king has a tremendous face like a king, but some adventurers looked like he did it.

"That's why I wanted to surprise you. I don't think it's appropriate for adventurers to set a place that was a ritual on purpose."

"Was it...... I hadn't thought about it..."

No, you said Lyco was too humble to say he was A-ranked, too.

If you know it's going to be S-rank, it all sticks together.

"It will be officially announced tomorrow that you three have become S-rank adventurers. Keep helping me for my kingdom."

I bowed my head for now because I still don't even know how I feel.

And I asked Lena in a small voice.

"Hey, how many S-rank adventurers are there?

"Someone who was certified a long time ago may be alive, but aren't we the only ones on active duty..."

That's a serious responsibility again.

Rather than be happy, I have a strong feeling that it's going to be hard to be seen as an S-rank adventurer for a long time to come.

Seriously, I have to live like I'm not ashamed of myself.

However, Misha had already raised her head grandly whether her liver was sitting or whether she took it for granted as much as that.

"It's a big responsibility to us, but we're going to do what we can to make sure we're chosen. Kings, keep up the good work!

Hands on his chest, Misha declared.

I mean, let's do that more than just be chosen.

"Oh, I hope so!

said the king in a cheerful voice.
