Kuro no Maou

"Yes, we have indeed confirmed the achievement of all quests"

Elina, a young receptionist for her second year in the District Branch of Sparda Adventurer's Guild School, said the words clerically, without somehow representing her inner upset.

This face is not the only one ashamed as a maiden who falls in love with an adventurer named Chrono before, as she has now admitted, she is stunned by the fact that she has accomplished her quest.

(Oh, what, what, did you really complete all your quests? And it hasn't been a week, and no, more than that, what are the crusades count for this massive monster!?

A testament to the awesome number of monster crusades submitted earlier was that Elina was massive enough to see you get a job and start over.

(Dagger Raptor 124, Goblin 87, Windle 52...... oh the number of pump crusades 5 in the normal numbers looks rather unusual...... but the most unusual is 376 in the slime, right)

Rank 1 monsters are huge instead of weak.

As far from extinction as crusading a hundred or two hundred, the number of crusades spanning those three digits is not a good score for a Rank 1 adventurer.

The number of crusades of 376 in the slime is not an impossible number given the occasional situation of mass occurrence, but normally even a Rank 3 adventurer would choose to escape if more than 100 slimes appeared in a group.

The fact that he earned so many crusades in a short period of time, less than a week after his quest order, can only be assumed to have struck that large a herd, or a nest, directly.

There are sometimes rank 1 adventurers who recklessly challenge the nest to hunt many monsters, but most of the time they become the ones who don't return, so heartbroken that they quit the adventurer even when they return.

But Krono doesn't look like a very traumatized, pathetic person in the same calm atmosphere he did when he came here a few days ago.

No, I showed you my track record of crusading all these monsters in reality first,

(This guy could be... he's not very strong)

Chrono has a high strength that is not at all commensurate with the rating of Rank 1, it would be reasonable to think so.

(No, but wait, calm down, Elina, there's no way anybody's got the strength to be unworthy of that rank early)

At the beginning of the adventurer registration stage, if you are judged to be strong enough, such as already serving as a soldier, there is also a system that imposes exams and starts at rank 3.

For this reason, the example of having more than a certain strength in rank 1 is very rare.

But rarity doesn't mean that he's not here at all.

In a famous example, the eldest son of 'Sword King' Leonhardt, or Eisenhardt Tristan Sparda, the first prince of Sparda, started at Rank 1 and climbed up to Rank 5 while attending the Royal Sparda Seminary.

Others, such as secret apprentices brought up in the world by outlying figures such as the more famous sorcerers and martial arts masters, will rank up at an alarming rate.

However, both the Prince of Sparda and his master apprentice were also strong in the first stage, rank 1 state, simply because they were adequately trained and equipped with combat skills at a high level before fulfilling their adventurer registration.

And for the most part, people like that can be distinguished by the gear they wear, at least they don't show up with worn leather trousers on white shirts.

Now is the time for Chrono to wear an apprentice magician's robe, but it is still the lowest grade of equipment.

Again, it is a quick count to decide that he is a rare pattern with strong power in Rank 1.

(This is... yes, the party members are strong, you are!

Elina flashed.

If you think about it, the possibility that you did a parasitic act of relying on the strength of this fellow to accomplish your quest is the most likely story to exist.

Occasionally, a retarded aristocrat, Aaron, who admired the adventurer hero Tan, sometimes makes his bodyguard a party member and goes on quests with him protected.

This one has a much higher chance of showing up than a master apprentice, or he still exists on active duty.

(Oh, too bad, I'm so sorry, Mr. Chrono, if you were a mysterious man who really faked his strength and spoiled him to rank one or something, you could have given him the same 90 points as that face)

Oh, my God, when you're lost in thought,

"Sorry, now you can be rank two, right?

"Yes, now Master Krono and his party 'Element Master' will be promoted to Rank 2, congratulations"

It was the awesome thing about Elina that she was immersed in her world but could handle it without precipitation if she could speak up.

"Please wait while we renew your guild card."

Thus, Elina single-handedly manipulates the reading of the guild card and the input of the data writing magic instrument (magic item).

"Do you also want to update other members now?

"Right, we can do it later, but we usually update it together.

Do members have guild cards?

Yes, along with a voice that often passes, a guild card with two steel glosses was handed to Elina.

(Oh, it's not an iron plate!

Elina's prediction that there would be a guild card with a perfectly golden glow was completely overshadowed.

Erina's update meant Quest Achievement, but apparently Chrono's update indicates something that goes up from Rank 1 to Rank 2, just like herself.

If you're the bodyguard for your aristocratic idiot son, you should be hired someone of rank three or higher strength.

Dedicated bodyguards are already a different profession from adventurers, but most hold guild cards in order to show their strength clearly.

(Members also rank one. Cotto doesn't hire escorts - wait, if it was really aristocratic road trip in the first place, I knew the equipment was too poor)

In the end, Elina reconsidered herself as being a Rank 1 adventurer who, as we saw this adventurer named Chrono, was so worn around there that she threw it away.

And when you load the guild card that is his member, it becomes more decisive.

(Lily, rank one... Fiona Soleil, rank one... we're both adventurers in the same village of Iles, almost at the same time)

If we take this information for granted, we can only predict that young people living in the countryside have come out to Sparda admiring adventurers.

(No, but for that, the composition of the party is strange, to the two magicians, this class of people called Lily is a fairy, and that's not just a race name!

For example, there is no way a human adventurer can write a class as human, a class is one that represents one's fighting style in the end, and at worst it shows the type of weapon one uses.

But the grand description of this unthinkable race name means that at least this Chrono doesn't care at all.

(Rabbit is also a horn, I'm pretty sure this Chrono and his party Element Master are not just Rank 1!

The moment I thought about it that Elina's appreciation of Chrono,

(This is not gradable at this stage)

It was to be changed.

At the same time, the transformation of a man named Chrono, who only saw this face as a good and unfortunate adventurer, into a bottomless being, made him seem fascinating as soon as possible.

(This is pretty much an anticipating rookie, ugh, I'm gonna have to check out their trends from now on)

Thus, Chrono and the rank of "Element Master,"

"Yes, we're done updating."

No, now that he had made the promotion to Rank 2 at this moment, Elina handed Chrono a new guild card that became a bronze plate indicating Rank 2 with her highly anticipated eyes.

"Congratulations, I look forward to your continued work"

It's a dialog that I'll always say when I rank up, but Elina has never been as emotional as she is now.

"Thank you"

Thus, with a gentle smile that was cold and sharp looking but somewhere reassuring, Chrono received a guild card that emitted a brilliant glow of copper.

(Shit, it's kinda seriously cool...)

For the first time in a long time, Elina remembered the highs in her chest, but Krono called out as if she hadn't noticed such a change in her.

"Excuse me, can I have another one?

"Yes, what is it?

It was Elina asking back, but given what happened to Krono last time, I could have predicted what she was going to say.

"Can you tell me the quest you need to make to Rank 3?

Bingo, already in Elina's brain, a Rank 2 quest list has unfolded.

"Yes, this way"

We presented a bundle of all of the Rank 2 quests currently in this guild, and showed the quests to Chrono as we remembered that would be necessary for ranking up.

"Bye -"

"Ugh, will you take it all?

To that half-joked dialogue, Chrono gave a slightly surprising look,

"Yes, please"

I nodded forcefully.

(Well, if he gets promoted to Rank 3 without difficulty here, he's... real.)

Erina began to process her quest orders as she raised her chest to expectations.

This Sparda Adventurer Guild School District Branch made a rather different impression than the guild I've used so far.

Quite different from size in the first place, Alsace was four stories, including the space in the inn, but this place extends to five stories only in the work space of the Adventurer's Guild.

The number of floors should only vary by one, but the floor area and height to the ceiling vary, so this one looks more overwhelming.

It is also true that there is a clear atmospheric difference between the two, even if those parts are omitted.

If the village guild is to be used as a liquor store, the atmosphere here is as strong as the bureau.

The lobby doesn't have the space to eat, it just has a big white painted clean space, and the adventurers waiting there seem like salariers somewhere.

No, I'm sure a lot of people wear blazer-type uniforms, so maybe even more so.

As far as I've been working in a small guild in one country, I find myself somewhat uncomfortable with this atmosphere where all serious conversations about work fly apart from this tavern, noisy in a different way.

I wonder if I'll get used to this air by the time I get to Rank 3, or what, Tanuki's idea of a dermal calculation doesn't make sense.

First, you should think about going up to Rank 3 quickly.

"So, Mr. Chrono was put up with that beautiful receptionist, and he got a ton of next requests, right?

"Oh, hey, don't say that kind of bad things to people."

Respond with a cold gaze somewhere in Fiona.

"Mmm!

Something tells me Lily has a disgruntled gaze on me, but I'm sure it must be her fault, because Lily, the young girl, is a good listening daughter at all times.

"You've never crossed the rank up early, say rank two, but if you just complete it, you'll be right there.

You don't have to crusade another 100 or 200. "

"Isn't it the same Mr. Chrono who crusaded 100 bodies?

"No, I'm 87."

I knew it was the same, and I rarely got a scratch from Fiona.

No, even I thought I'd just go home if I knocked five bodies out, but I felt like it was time for the Xu to evolve, so I tried my best to make him suck blood.

Then there were no more demon bullets, no more demon swords, and I almost hung into a goblin's nest with a single piece like a swordsman's class.

After all, I didn't evolve.

"So, how many quests do you have?

"Eleven in all."

Deadlines are falling apart unlike last time, but if we do it in order from the early ones, we'll end up there for a month.

I avoided ordering long quest periods, such as merchant escorts.

If you put it in the dungeon, most of the crusading system depends on your strength later, if you dive for a few days, you can make instant money such as 10 or 20 crusades.

"I see. Sure seems like we can handle this much."

Fiona also agreed with me as I turned around a bunch of orders with a summary of the quest.

"I'm relieved I wasn't confused by the receptionist's incense."

"What are you worried about?"

Would you avoid saying that in front of a very young child, Mr. Fiona, or I feel Lily's gaze hurts because of you?

"Well, for now, do you want to celebrate your promotion to Rank 2 and go for a par drink?"

and give them a new guild card for the Proven Bronze Plate of Rank 2.

"Ooh."

"Wow!

Two people who receive guild cards looking quite happy.

Yeah, I knew there was something emotional about this.

"So today is the second part of the Sparda Gourmet Tour, right?

"Oh, oh... yeah, that's the kind of recognition that's OK"

It's not my treat this time, okay?

"And whatever you say, thanks to the momentum Lily and Fiona have earned us a few crusades to extinct the monster - look at this!

Don! Put up a bag of 10,000 clan gold coins with momentum that is likely to have a phonetic sound.

Oh, and Lily and Fiona blessed me with a small, patsy hand slap.

"There's just enough money to eat and drink as much as you like and live for a while, can we split it it up after dinner?

The reward share also employs the most basic rule of the adventurer, the 'equal share’, in our 'Element Master'.

"But is that okay? You don't have to equip Mr. Chrono."

"No, you can do it after you get to Rank 3.

This reward is enough to make a living, but not enough to buy the gear you want. "

I need a million clans to buy a single weapon of curse, so much so that I can use all my rewards this time to get a little change.

My share is a third of that, so if you still don't do the quest until you get to Rank 3, you won't get to the purchase amount.

"That's fine, but if it's a little short, me and Lily will be there to help."

"Thanks, I'll just take your feelings"

Monetary relations are better as clean as possible, at least I want to be on a par with these two all the time.

Even I'm only seventeen, I'm not experienced enough in life to carry weird anxiety elements and solve them well, this much attention should do it.

"Neither me nor Lily are people obsessed with money, so if you can, it would be desirable for Mr. Chrono to be well equipped and empowered as a party.

So you don't have to be so firm, do you?

and when Fiona encourages Lily,

"Yeah, Lily's buying Chrono a weapon!

My heart hurts so badly at that pure word.

What the hell... it's like a bad guy is tricking you into contributing...

"Oh, thanks...... but if I borrow the money, I'll interest you both back at the greyzone rate"

"Grey zone? Well, it's easy to convince Mr. Krono if it's a debt."

"Lily's buying you one!

For God's sake, you're the one who's going to contribute so much wheelie. Lily, I'm serious, because I'm going to be anxious.

"And anyway, forget about the work relationship now, let's celebrate, huh?

"Well, let's open up a new store today"

It was a slightly forceful way out of the way of talking, but it ate beautifully.

"Okay, shall we go then?

Oh, yeah, Lily, long time no see in the hood?

I merged with Lily, who jumped into my hood with a smile on her face, and we left our guild behind with a whim.
