Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

"Well, hang up. Can I get you a coffee?

Alana urged Meryl, a red flashing magician with a much changed atmosphere, to take a seat.

"Um, you know..."

"Don't hesitate. It's uncomfortable that we only have drinks."

"Heh no. If I do, I will petition Milg for more sugar."

"Oh, you like sweet too. You're just like me."

"Hey, I'm afraid."

"By the way, Lord Yoichi is drinking without putting anything in it."

"Heh!? That's very odd..."

And, Meryl looked at Yaichi with a surprised face, but rushed off her gaze when her eyes met.

"It's a cultural difference. It's delicious when you get used to it.

Soon after, a beverage was brought under Merrill that should be called cafe ole rather than coffee.

"So, what can I do for you?

To Alana's inquiry, Meryl corrects her posture.

"I'm sorry about Evening."

And toward Yangichi, I offered my head.

"I feel bad about Evening, and I do what you do. It's Bagemon. I'm sorry for what I said."

"No, it's fine. On purpose with that?

Meryl lifts her head.

"It's important."

And look closely into Yaichi's eyes.

"If you think bad, apologize as soon as you can. Your father and mother taught you."

"Uhm, that's a special triumph."

When Alana said that, Merrill seemed a little relieved, slightly loosening the expression that was frightening.

"But the atmosphere seems to have changed a lot since yesterday?

"Oh. The real thing is the fancy outfit that you gave me, Graf says Dacedase, and I don't know how you hate me..."

"Hmm. So you think you can hate me anymore?

Then Meryl shook her head.

"I decided to go back to the countryside. After that... a lot has happened..."

And so Meryl's cheeks became more and more red.

There's a lot going on, and you should look around.

"It's been a while since I saw Graf, and she said she'd like that."

We're talking cursory at some point, but we both went through there.

"... and I'm a good adventurer. I don't care what you do around here."

Such Merrill seemed somewhere sad, but also reassuring.

"Hmm. Then go home. What? Do you wash your feet from adventurer operations anymore?

"Yes, no. I think you can do it on the border, in the countryside."

"Right. Which part of town is it?

"In the corner of Viscount Skinner's territory."

"Hmm, so the Beresta branch is close?

"Lagu, you know. It's the closest thing to my village."

"Right. All right, let's go."

"What?"

With that said, Alana got up after a cup of coffee and walked up to the receptionist.

"Uh..."

Meryl is swimming her gaze between Alana and Yaichi.

"Don't you have an idea? Shall we go too?"

"Heh, heh, no"

Yaichi encouraged Merrill, which later continued.

At the reception desk, Alana seemed to be writing a letter.

Alana puts the finished letter in an envelope and gives it to the receptionist.

"Give this to the Alliance Master of the Beresta Branch"

"Yes, sir."

"Um, Alana...?

Merrill, who came to Alana with Yaichi, raises questions.

"Mm-hmm. Tell the Alliance Master at the Beresta Branch. A brilliant adventurer from the border will be there."

Then Merrill gave her a surprise look, and shook her head.

"I can't believe you're brilliant! I'm not..."

"Graf's an adventurer who wants to reach C-rank at a little over twenty, right? It will be decided excellently. You're also in the E-rank... you were certainly younger than Graf, weren't you?

"hehe no... two down"

"Then start with the H-rank and rank E at 18. Isn't it good enough? Besides, adventurers on the edge are said to have about one rank of strength compared to adventurers elsewhere."

"So, but..."

Merrill looks at Alana after seeing Yuzu and Yaichi.

"I, uh, Yoichi, am such a coward that I run away..."

To the words, Alana sighed lightly.

"It's Meryl. What's the most important thing to an adventurer?

"Uh... hey, strength...?

"Strength matters, too. The most important thing is to survive."

Meryl's eyes open to the word.

"So last night, your choice to escape a battle without a chance of winning is the best adventurer you've ever had."

"Ah..."

"You should stick your chest out and go home. An adventurer returns to his hometown after being young around the border and climbing to the D- and E-ranks. This is a triumph, isn't it?

"Ugh... Ugh..."

To Alana's words, Meryl began to pour and weep.

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

And after crying and thanking Yaichi and Alana for a moment, Meryl left the guild.

(Me, that was almost air...)

Well, it's Yaichi who hasn't been an adventurer for a whole day yet.

Whatever you said isn't convincing, so I guess you were right about being in the air.

○ ● ○ ●

"Good luck with the course. I just had my assessment done."

Time passed so well while I was talking to Meryl, and soon afterwards Yaichi took the course.

Even when it came to the course, I just got a detailed explanation about the Adventurer Guild system, but it still took a lot of time and by the end of it I was tired there.

[Healthy body] also doesn't seem to work very effectively against the mood fatigue you receive in the classroom.

"So here's the reward."

The reward for selling demonic materials amounted to nearly two pieces of white gold coins, and they were paid by mixing one piece of white gold coin with gold and silver copper coins.

(Even though it's a lot of high tech, the only currency I have is coins)

I thought it was a strangely chaotic civilization, Yaichi, but on the contrary, if the humans of this world went that way, it would feel chaotic.

"Dear Yoichi, please submit your guild card as we will conduct the rank-up process"

"Rank up?

The Adventurer Rank is increased by the ratings awarded by the achievement of requests in the Alliance.

There are many kinds of requests, but here in Mailgrad, demonic crusade requests are constantly being made.

This is something many guilds have put out, but here at Mailgrad there are especially many constant crusade requests.

Because Mailgrad is a periphery surrounded by wilderness, with few, if any, supplies and people in transit, but many parts that become self-sufficient.

For this reason, demonic material is a very important resource.

There is also a great significance of the demonic thinning that gets in the way of further development.

In other words, even if you don't bother to take requests, if you defeat the target demon and deliver it, it will only lead to evaluation and hence ranking up.

Virtually all demons of interest, even those confirmed in the Jana Forest, are covered.

"Yes, from today on, Mr. Yoichi will be ranked E"

"Suddenly two ranks up?

"If it's just a rating, you have a D-rank, right? Because I just need an exam to get promoted to the D-rank. I'll arrange it, if you don't mind?

"Uh..."

When Yaichi looked at Alana a little confused, Alana nodded silently.

"Well, please"

"Yes, I did. The next Rank Up exam slot is available, so we'll arrange for you to take it."

"What is it, by the way, what do you do with a rank-up exam?

"You will receive a request prepared for the exam. You will be accompanied by an examiner to evaluate different behaviors."

"I see."

"I'll let you know when I have a date, so don't come to the guild once every couple of days"

"Okay."

Adventurer rank, but if you have a track record in knights, soldiers, mercenaries, etc., you can start with an E-rank at the highest with your past track record.

Also at the start from the G-rank, here in Mailgrad, there are two ranks up on the day, because one or two people exist a year, so the example of Yangichi is not particularly unusual.

Although not particularly rare, it is nevertheless a very small number and a feat from the overall percentage.

For your information.

Half of the adventurers here in Mailgrad are H-F ranked.

Approximately half of the remaining half, or roughly 25% of the total, is in the E rank, plus the D-C rank accounts for the majority of the remaining 25%.

The B rank is less than 1% of the total, and only three are limited to adventurers belonging to Mailgrad when it comes to the A rank.

However, there are circumstances when there are few A-rank adventurers.

Do you need to take an exam in Wang Du to get to A-rank, or many B-rank adventurers, including Alana, remained in B-rank because of the hassle.

In fact, it is said that none of the three A-rank adventurers can beat Alana.

Lord Yoichi, you're annoying.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired."

"So are we going home for today?

There was still time for sunset, but I didn't feel like doing something today, Yaichi.

"Right. It's a little early, but let's take it slow at home."

"hehe, okay"

"Well, give me the money..."

Looking at nearly a hundred coins piled up on the counter, Yaichi thinks.

(The wallet I have presupposes use in banknote culture)

Yaichi once held his favorite purse in [infinite storage], but that's only the main thing to store notes and cards, and the part to put coins and other coins in isn't that big.

Or even if it's a coin pocket in the other world, there's nothing like being able to put 100 coins in it.

Even when it comes to coins, each is about 500 yen in size.

I don't have a problem putting it in [infinite storage] while it's naked.

"Leather bags can be prepared for a fee, hemp bags can be prepared for free?

The receptionist has suggested that you have guessed from such a Yangichi appearance.

Yaichi decided to ride the proposal and bought a slightly splendid leather wipe containing about 300 coins for one silver coin.

"Oh, that's heavy."

About a hundred coins in the wipes were firmly heavy, but at the same time pleasant.

Yaichi has spent his boyhood with the game.

I have enjoyed many games ranging from masterpieces to waste, preferring the RPG "role-playing games" of fantasy things among them.

How many times have you had tears, buying software while doing small pennies, or swapping for classmates, but still not getting them?

That's when I always had something to think about as a child.

"I wish I had enemies around there and if I defeated them like a game, I'd get the money"

and.

Now, feeling the weight on his hands, Yaichi was remembering that.

(Enemy down, I made money, me)

Should I say I had a dream?

Yaichi felt something springing up from the depths of her body.

When he found out he could go to another world, Yaichi had thought about what to do there.

You think, for example, you can use the difference between civilizations to get your hands on something internal, or you can look for something cheap in the original world but expensive in the other world, or vice versa, and make money from something like inter-world trade?

If you can, you can earn money for something that's not dangerous, and you can relax and live freely.

I got a ton of weapons only in self-defense.

I signed up for the Adventurer Guild because I came to another world to commemorate it.

That's what I thought.

Defeated the demon, delivered it and received the money.

I thought that might be secondary to doing that in running a different world life.

But what is this gushing emotion?

Defeat demons to earn money.

Somehow it made the dream I had in mind as a child come true.

And I've learned the joy.

"What is it, Lord Yoichi? Let's go."

"Oh, yeah."

Yangichi, who left the Adventurer Guild about after Alana, narrowed his eyes to the light of the yang.

The sun was shining soft in the cloudless winter blue sky if you looked up.

Yaichi walked through the city with Alana, small and heart-pounding.

○ ● ○ ●

Returning to the inn, the two returned straight to Grand Court, where they decided to take their time that day without doing anything.

As they both changed into ruffled outfits and relaxed while streaming the TV, the intercom rang.

That wasn't in front of the entrance to the auto lock on the ground floor, and the intercom in this room seemed to be pressed directly.

"Yes."

Yaichi, who was a little upset because he was spending a whole lot of time, did not check the door camera monitor, unlocked the front door and turned the door knob.

Sometimes I'm not used to autolocks or intercoms with cameras yet.

Gachari, and when I opened the door, I saw the person standing outside.

"Oh, Minori..."

Minori, who confirmed Yangichi's face, suddenly hugged him.

"- Take responsibility"
