Mr. Gorelius took me out through the north castle gate.

"Look, you guys! Stop about five demons per person between now and closing the door! Don't pull out the magic stone, okay? Bring it as a corpse! Whoever's late for closing is disqualified! Stay in Nojuku! You get it!? Go!"

Everyone runs out in unison. Approximately five hours from now until closing. I can afford it in time, but if I consider the time it takes to get back and forth and the power of the 10th star, I have a limited area to target. It's natural to rush ahead.

"Mr. Gorelius. If you're a fresh demon, you've got a lot, but then you can't, can you?

"It's a hit. If you're shutting it down and keeping it fresh for a few hours, just shut up and give it to me and I'll make it easier for you. Hey, let's get out of here.

Right. Let's go. You can use great magic here to call in demons, because there are many 10th stars. I don't feel good when I'm dead. Let's just say we look honestly. That's why I should run, too. This must be a page of youth, too.

An hour towards the northwest. I don't encounter demons at all. Yah. Let's fly. Let's fly and go to Mount Owest and hunt properly.

A silver golem appeared when I was hunting for a cobolt, so I removed the demon stone and kept the body in storage. That's just not dirty silver. What a golem. Ask Mr. Gorelius and you'll see. Well, I stopped seven cobolts, so let's just say we go home. Is it by the time someone's back?

Whoa, they're back about two. That guy, too, you do it inside. Looks like he's working on the demon stone removal on the spot.

"I'm back now.

That's what I say. I'll only get five cobolts out in front of Mr. Gorellius.

"Okay, then take out the demon stone. If you want to sell or throw away any other parts, do as you please.

"Patience!

Then it's just the Demon Stone. Other than that, it's rubbish. Let's store it.

"It's over. Go ahead."

Submit the Demon Stone to Mr. Gorelius.

"Hey, Omei is the number one passer. Grab this guy and go to reception.

"Patience! Thanks!

Looks like the two of us who were arriving first are trying to sell other parts than the Demon Stone. That's gonna take a while. After you.

Walk through the castle gate to the guild. After walking for a while.

"Hey, wait. I'm done, too!

Is that Ikram?

"Whoa. Did you pass? Good for you.

"Where were you, Kobolt? I was lucky to have a goblin.

"Oh, I've even been to Mount Owest. There are no demons nearby.

"Huh!? Mount Owest. Ah!? How did you get so far..."

"I've decided to fly away. If I run, I'll just be there in the evening.

Naturally.

"You carsed and said... and that outfit... are you kidding me, Demon King?

Whoa, are you surprised?

"Correct. Not that I mentioned it, but it's called the Demon King.

"Why is the Demon King still the 10th star..."

"I wasn't interested in rank. This time, the union leader told me to become a seventh star, so I had no choice but to participate. So I will also be taking the eighth star exam next week.

Alec is also an eighth star, right? Match.

"Are you serious that once upon a time, you smashed down the walls of the castle gate in the territorial capital?

"No, I don't. I hear a big demon came in here, huh?

"On the face of it, right? I hear the Demon King has a glance at deputies and Uncle Borderline.

"The deputy told me you were like siblings or something. Did you take care of Uncle Borderline a little?

"Heh, I had a hell of a sync. Well, do me a favor.

"Oh. I guess we don't get to face each other much because we're not that much of a request.

If you're honest with me that way, why don't you respond to this one?

Well, we arrive at the guild. Submit to reception.

"Congratulations. I'm promoted to the ninth star."

They gave me a new guild card. There's no change in appearance. Is it a little new?

"Hey, I know you because of me. Why don't you have a drink? Luxury?"

"Are you sure? I'm gonna drink this, okay?

"The guy who drinks milk sake or something says, right? Drink as much as you like.

Oh. You don't know that, do you?

"Oh bastards! Ikram said he was extravagant in his ninth star promotion celebration! Drink as much as you like. Hey!

"Oh, hey idiot!

"Goddamn it!

"Nine stars. Ah!?

"Can't you pay?!?

"It's not a candy! Drink, drink!"

"Yikram!

I stopped by straw. Ikram has tears in his eyes. I'm getting a little pathetic.

"It's a joke. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Drink, too.

"Ma, demon king, idiot! Beh, I can pay you nothing!

Well, it's not synchronized, but synchronization is good. Still, it's not even evening yet, but you're going to get together unexpectedly. I wish I could come to the bard or something.

"Mr. Curse, it's been a long time.

Hmm? Who is this successful young man?

"Sorry, who was that?

"It's me. I was a classmate, Grants.

Oh! It was the only civilian in a group, Grants Apollinere. It was you!

"Oh! Long time no see! There's no shadow at all! Too big!

"That's you, Curse, isn't it? That was a slip!

"Huh!? Mr. Grants, were you there?

"There he is! Because you don't notice at all!

Even if they say it like a girl with just a few haircuts like that.

"Did you become the ninth star today?

"Yeah, I finally passed. Curse, you don't meet in the guild at all, do you?

"Uh, you're going everywhere. Grants, did you leave school today?

"It is. Exams are mostly Val's day.

If this is modern Japan, the exam should be mostly a holiday. Even exams here want to take the holidays off. There's no company animals!

Well, instead, there can't be coverage for the rest of the day.

"Eat and drink if you like. Let's have some fun and cheer up for today.

"You're welcome. And even though you don't feel any magic at all, Curse, you've got some style. I don't think he's a very classmate.

"That's Grants. So are you. Obviously, Steed is bigger than you.

"Steed, is that you? I wonder how everyone is.

Grants, I wasn't so much friends with you, but nostalgia also took sides and the conversation played out.

"Oh? Does Grants know the Demon King?

Ikram has also been mixed up. This guy seems a little drunk. Do you know Mr. Grants?

"What are you talking about? Aren't we classmates?

What do you mean?

"Uh, the two of us didn't interact with one group. Well, I don't know.

"Curse, you don't know either, do you? There wasn't a single kid in the two groups who stood out.

"Right. Nobody knows, right?

This is a reunion, in a way. Well, okay. Let's say I drink cancer.

"Hey, sister. Dino Speciale?"

"A Yikes. Two gold coins a glass."

"Just three drinks, please.

When I think of it as the same price as coffee, I also feel that famous sake is cheap.

"Oh, you, how dare you..."

"Mr. Curse... can we drink too...?

"Fine. Sometimes. Dino Speciale is the best, isn't it?

Obviously not the booze a kid like us drinks. But that doesn't matter. Drink what you want.

In the end, the bard did not show up on this day. Does this really need to go ahead with guitar development...... it's a liberal issue.
