I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"... so it's been four days since I heard from that pedestrian..."

"You haven't made any progress..."

"No way, I entered the country and happened to be the first to hear..."

"I can't believe it was the best information..."

Four of them looked disappointed and tired as they ate at night camp.

Yes, for four days after that, while pretending to be on a training journey, I talked from one end to gather information about travelers I met in the street's night vacant lot, the town's rice clerk and other guests, the receptionist of the lodging house, the lodgers, the staff of the Hunter Guild and other hunters...

The story itself was a lot to hear. Because the young, pretty girls talk to me and not many people hate me......

Besides, talking from one end of the spectrum doesn't make it look so odd because every time I change places. Therefore, the investigation went well. The reason why the client issued a request for nomination to the 'Red Vow' … the expectation that the other person would talk to me perplexed without any doubt… was fully fulfilling its purpose.

Yes, the only problem is that in those stories I've heard, 'there wasn't a single piece of useful information'.

"We are the ones who can talk perplexed about anything without warning..."

"Normal spies, good old men, can't have easy access to useful information..."

But Pauline disputed Mavis' words.

"No, if a handsome spy hears about a woman..."

"I wonder why you see me there, Pauline..."

Warm Mavis can also look unpleasant. I recognised that, it was Miles and Lena......

"Anyway, the first thing I heard, 'Hunter's casualty rate is getting higher', you got the back, didn't you?"

"Oh. The guild staff didn't really want to spread the word about it, but they said they didn't exactly take the stats, but they obviously did, according to what I heard from the local hunters, luxury ale at the 'I went as a job' tavern."

"I recommended more and more alcohol to get me drunk, and I tried to tell the truth, but no one just said, 'Stronger than Orc thought...'"

Is the hunter's insistence moving things to the worse...

And is Mavis also guilty of eating free meals (just mesh) as an expense when he purposefully stresses that he 'went as a job'... Lena and Miles said they were so disappointed and ate it because they could drop it on expenses......

"That's right! In the next city, why don't you check out the dismantling grounds of your guild? No matter how strong you are, it doesn't mean you can't defeat a single demon of your opponent, so if you confirm the demon that will be brought in to sell it as material..."

"A peculiar species can tell with one eye, so. All right, I'll go with that!

"" "Oh!

"... normal oak..."

"It's a regular orga, a regular cobolt, a regular horned rabbit......"

As Lena and Pauline put it, it was all just plain familiar to see, and there was not a single thing that seemed to be a mutant.

"What do you say, what do you want to check and do... What do you got?

A young guild clerk who was happy to hear Miles' request to see the demons in the demolition yard asked.

"Oh, yes, I couldn't confirm the birth of what I was worried about, but it's a great achievement to confirm that 'that didn't happen'. Thank you!

In keeping with the miles I answered that, everyone bowed their heads and said thank you.

While I was busy, he took the trouble to guide me when I heard an unintelligible request from the young hunter of the leftovers, so it was only natural to tell him clearly that thanks and that this act was never in vain.... even if the very reason could not speak.

Well, if it wasn't the young, pretty girls I asked for, this male employee might not have bothered to show me to the warehouse (with a magical freezer and refrigerator) myself either...

"You didn't have any peculiar species..."

"Unexpected, you mean?

"Uh-huh..."

Miles of words, we all think, but no matter how much we think, it will be futile. The information is overwhelmingly insufficient to draw conclusions.

"I didn't think it was a request to end so soon, nor is there a deadline, so let's just relax. Take other requests, save money and merit points so that you can take your promotion exam as soon as the required minimum years in the C-rank have passed......"

Miles says that...

"Miles, I'm very much in favor of saving money, but I've earned a lot of merit points to take the B-rank promotion exam."

"Huh..."

"Isn't that obvious? Wyburn capture, investigation team rescue, bandit extermination, prevention of deterioration of relations with beasts and ancient dragons, and more... You, the average C-rank hunter is going to be B-ranked, but what more, what more, do you want me to do?

If you don't qualify for the B-Rank promotion exam because of what we've done so far, I don't want you to be a B-Rank hunter!

"... did..."

To Lena's words, the only mileage I can convince.

Whatever, it's not "eligibility to be B-ranked," it's "eligibility for promotion exams." With all the difficult requests that The Red Pledge has made so far, that is, a number of high requests that have slipped through merit points, there can be no way you haven't earned enough points.

"That's why until now Lena and Mavis have said, 'In order to be A-ranked quickly, ask for a lot of merit points...' But now we're earning points pretty much ahead of time, so we're just waiting for the period to pass as the minimum required C-rank. So from now on, make your choice of requests with an emphasis on the amount of rewards!

"You ate on this topic because that's what you wanted to say?

Lena goes into Pauline's words, but it certainly doesn't make much sense to save up ahead of all the points. It doesn't make much sense to excessively earn points now that it's C-rank, because it takes' acting as a hunter for B-rank 'rather than C-rank to be A-rank.

No, of course, the number of points earned will be taken into account during the promotion exam to the B rank, but the Leonards do not want to be promoted with such a small score earner. The promotion exam will only be broken by strength at the time of the exam. That, at least, was what Lena and Mavis wanted.

Pauline doesn't have anything to do with anything around it, and Miles doesn't think about it.

... or Miles didn't want to be promoted in the first place. It was inconspicuous, that it would be sufficient if we could make money there as normal C-rank hunters, and that we should be able to find someone to marry in that state.

"Well, I don't mind..."

"No, because I want to train myself! If you don't get the strength you deserve as an A-rank swordsman as well as money, and ultimately just enough power to be mounted by a knight, it doesn't make any sense!

Mavis blocking Lena's words and claiming so.

Sure, it's not like a request that's going to be money, a request to fight equals strong demons and strong enemies.

It would be full of dissatisfaction for Mavis, even if it wasn't first of all a request to collect rare things or actually become a battle, a request for a decorative escort (apart from the real escort, where the good looking ones are placed on the side as decorative personnel), or just a "request that is expensive, but not something that can be a good experience or strong for a swordsman," Pauline who wants to save money, Lena who wants to be A-ranked anyway, and Miles who doesn't care, on the contrary, thinks it's better to remain C-ranked.

"Around there, ad hoc…. Besides, money and points are not the only jobs we choose. Most importantly…"

Miles of words, all voices aligned.
