Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

"Whoa. - Will. Hey, look, look at this."

As I went down to the dining room, the other three had already gathered at their usual table.

One of them, Satsuki, called me and showed me what's on his chest.

When I get to my usual seat, Satsuki shows off.

"Is that an E-rank Adventurer ID?"

Shine on Satsuki's chest It was a small plate made of bronze.

If you look closely, Satsuki's name is carved on its surface.

Satsuki strapped it down from her neck like a necklace.

"Hmm, that's what I'm talking about. You can still call me" Sister "from the F-Rank."

It is a satchel that stretches its chest well.

It should also be noted that the content of the statement does not make much sense.

"I got an E-rank and got applauded for adding and subtracting Satsuki's silliness"

"I wonder. Though I think it was originally like this."

Mi and Cyril had a light breakfast as usual.

Bronze Adventurer ID shines on their chests, just like Satsuki.

The three Satsuki had promoted their Adventurer Rank from F to E as a result of their last quest to defeat the undead.

The rank itself was up in the quest achievement phase, but I guess that means it was this morning that I received my new Adventurer ID.

By the way, I also have a small plate-shaped Adventurer ID.

Although it is still made of regular copper because of the F-rank.

I received it from the Adventurer Alliance the day after I signed up for Adventurer.

The Adventurer ID has different materials depending on the Adventurer rank, and each material is colored.

If you look at it, you can see the Adventurer Rank at a glance.

Still, the fact that I'm the only one at a party with a low adventurer rank is a little unsettling.

It might be interesting to describe that mood as a joke once and for all.

That's what I thought, and I decided to get on board with Satsuki's statement.

"Then Satsuki, sister. Can you take a little butter over there?"

That's what I demand from Satsuki as I lay my hands on the breakfast he asked me to bring.

But Satsuki's reaction to hearing it was bizarre.

"Fu-ha-ha"

Satsuki raised her weird voice and shook herself blindly.

And he rambled after me as I sat in the chair, and fell behind every chair as I did.

"Ya suck! Oh, shit. This is it!

Satsuki, who rose, undone the shittiness and the fallen chair, and sat back there.

I'm blushing for some reason and breathing rough haha.

"No, rather than suck..."

"One way or the other, it's different..."

Cyril and Mi, on the other hand, were blue-faced on the contrary.

I'm not sure how to react, but I might say the echo was the best joke of the past.

When I was thinking about it, Cyril, who was so relieved, asked me something else with a serious face.

Will, did you decide what to do with the example?

"Oh, is that it?... I guess we should still avoid giving it to the government constitution and power suzi without thinking"

"... I knew you would.... Our temple, honestly, can't be trusted by the people up there."

When Cyril and I were talking about it, Satsuki, who had been listening to it strangely, pounded her hand like she was good at it.

"Oh, is that what you are? It was in those bandits' halls, the paper in the information box. That box, I wonder why it was so tightly locked up and even set a trap. Sure, it says the lord's name around there, and he's a jerk."

Mi blocked Satsuki's light mouth with her bare hands.

Mi immediately looks around to make sure she's not getting any particular attention and leaks a ho soothing exhale.

Then I let go of Satsuki's mouth and stuffed it against her.

"Are you stupid!? Is Satsuki really stupid?!?"

"... hey, what is it? Did I say something wrong?

"I said it! I'm just wondering if it's something you can say out loud in a public place like this!

"Uh... I was so sloppy then, you didn't read exactly what it said on the paper."

"... okay. Hey, Mi explains, so don't shout out loud and listen very hard."

"Oh, wow."

Satsuki shows an attitude of listening, albeit under barometric pressure by how Mi is doing.

As I leave the explanation to Satsuki to Mi, I will consider the handling of the documents in advance.

The information box that was in the office of the bandit's hall.

It contained more important documents - letters of assignment - across several sheets, mixed with a number of unusual documents.

And what was noted there was astonishing.

"Become...! So the Earl of Goldart gave the bandits instructions to destroy that village!?"

Satsuki, who has been briefed by Mi, utters a whisper of surprise.

Mi who got it puts her index finger on her mouth and urges her not to talk any more.

Satsuki nods silently at it.

─ Yes, that's exactly what that document said.

To raid the village on what day of the month and kill all the people in the village.

At the dawn when it is done, give a considerable sum of money, or land, and serfs.

I'll send word after him, so wait.

The name "Earl of Goldart" was inscribed along with a description of such contents, indicating that the promise would be kept by oath in the name of the Earl of Goldert family.

And I was collecting and bringing back a series of materials from inside the file box.

The name Earl of Goldart is that of the lord who governs a certain part of this neighborhood.

The city of Gordia, about a day and a half walk from the city of Atlatia, and dozens of villages around it, were his territory, as were the destroyed villages of Filia, the territory ruled by the Earl of Gordato.

But there are parts of the story that don't fit that the lord destroys his own ruling village.

Although the territory of the Count is deposited from the King, the Count has the right to collect taxes on the territory, allowing a certain percentage of the taxes collected to be put into his own pocket.

Whatever bad lord you were, it's usually hard to think of having to throw away your own financial resources.

In many other respects, it is a document with endless questions.

The description should not be peddled and various possibilities should be considered.

But...

"... if that's true, I can't forgive you. Phyllia blames him..."

Satsuki's eyes were filled with angry emotions.

I turn to that satsuki and try to nod to show my consent.

"Oh, I agree with Satsuki.... but as things stand, there is too little information. Besides, we're adventurers. Not on the side of justice."

"... Huh! What the hell, Will! Then you mean pretend you don't know me like this!

Hearing my words, an exasperated satsuki banged his hands on the table and stood up.

Dishes on the table shake.

The attention of the people in the cafeteria gathers at our table.

"... Satsuki, be quiet. You're not the only one whose bowels are boiling back. You know what I believe in."

Staring at Satsuki as Cyril mouths her tea.

Satsuki took his seat again, as he had said he would not accept it.

The surrounding gaze weakens to such an extent that it looks here and there.

I'll check it out and explain it to Satsuki.

"As I said earlier, I agree with Satsuki, and I'm going to be able to share that sentiment of Satsuki. But it's not simple. First of all, fact-checking is a prerequisite, and even if the description in the example were true, it would crush you if you didn't move carefully. We need to consider social instruments in view."

"... okay, I'm sorry"

Satsuki seems a little unconvinced, and still manages to apologize for what he said earlier.

I add another word as I nod towards her.

"And as I said earlier, we're adventurers. It would also be a little unhealthy to work for free for justice and belief. If you do anything, you should turn it into a reward."

"Is...? Turn it into a reward. Uh, how?

"I have an idea about that. I don't know if it's gonna work."

"Ha...... I can make my own rewards..."

I started to go to breakfast while I watched such a frightening look.
