Legend

Hearing about the nomination request a week later from Gran in the conference room, Ray, who ostensibly decided not to accept the request, goes down the guild's stairs thinking about how to spend the week leading up to the start of the request.

"Oh, Ray, it seems like only one of you was late, but something happened?

Kenny, who found such a ray, called out quickly, but he was dutifully deluded because there was no reason to talk about the Duke's Ladies in such a crowded place.

"Kind of about this rank-up exam. It's the first time I've ever been a party leader."

"It is. But I'm sure you're a solo, Ray.... Rank went up to D too and it's time to think about a party or something? Look, there's going to be a lot more dangerous requests and stuff like that."

"Hey, it's impolite. Mr. Ray has a lot on his mind, too."

It's Lenora who embarrasses Kenny from next door, who insists we should throw a party.

"What, so Lenora says you can stay solo?

"I'm not saying that, but I'm saying it's not a good idea for us, the Alliance employees, to speak up."

"... I know. At all, Lenora would be tough on you. That's why they say you don't have the stiff, feminine softness."

Lenora instantly lifts her eyebrows to that word that was bossy and grunted at the subtle size she could hear around her.

"Hey Kenny. I'm not going to listen to you. I wonder who's saying that?

"Bezu. Mi-na says..."

Kenny tells Lenora she's stuffed, in an openly provocative tone.

Seeing that, naturally, there was no way Lenora could keep her mouth shut, and the usual squabbling started.

Fortunately, there will now be very few adventurers in the Alliance in the afternoon. Also, even if I were there, most of them would be in the tavern late for lunch or a little hungry.

... although I wouldn't exactly imitate it in the early mornings and evenings when adventurers overflow.

"Well, they're busy that way, so it's time for me to let you go. Bye."

"Oh, hey Ray, you!? Your sister celebrates passing the rank-up exam..."

"Hey Kenny! You're still at work!

Lenora enters Kenny's invitation to pass all the rank-up exams from face-to-face who was probably coming down from the conference room first.

Ray left the guild listening to such an exchange on his back.

"Grrrrrrrr"

And welcoming such a ray was the sound of Seto being stroked by several children.

If you look closely, the one stroking Seto is also the figure of a child who was trying to give him dried meat when he went on the rank-up exam.

"Ah, brother. Look, Seto's eating dry meat now."

The boy who finds Ray is happy to report.

Ray grins uncommonly and not bitterly as he scratches Seto's head with coldness as he rubs his head on listening to it.

"Good for you. Now it's time for us to go, okay?

"Yeah! And Seto. See you next time."

As the boy says so and runs all over the city, the other kids go after the boy by saying hello to Ray and Seto with their mouths.

It was Ray walking off stroking Seto's back at the back of those kids.

"Soon, you've become a city favorite."

"Gru."

"Well, shall we return to the inn once? … but how will you spend the rest of the week?"

They don't even say it's forbidden to take on a crusade request, but Gran has stabbed me with a nail asking me not to take it as far as I can. If you can, is that a sampling request? While thinking about it, one and one head to the wheat pavilion at dusk, which has already turned into a boarding house.

And on his way home, he bought easy food in the open air.

Whatever you can't eat, you can always eat freshly made if you put it in the mistering, so there's no need to let it rot. That's why I'm going shopping without any hesitation.

In that way we reached the wheat pavilion at dusk while contributing to the sales of the dewstore as usual, and an unimaginable sight came into Ray's eyes when he broke up with Seto at the stables and went inside the inn.

"Ah, Ray. Over here. It was late, but what's wrong?

Calling while Firma drinks the wine in the glass.

"You did slow down a lot."

Spelvia calls out as she eats a stew full of meat.

……

Scola is just as focused on the magic book as she was when she saw it in the conference room, and she doesn't notice anything about Ray.

"... hmm"

Alogan turns that way but carries the skewered meat into his mouth.

"Surprised? Surprise success."

Cullot greets Ray with a grin he did.

"... what's going on?

As I speak to those five, I approach the table.

"What a celebration of passing the rank-up exam. It's a corner, so you have to make noise at times like this."

"No, I haven't heard anything about that area?

"That's right. You were still in the conference room when we talked about having a party."

Understanding that it was decided when he was apparently made to stay, Ray also lowers his back to his vacant seat.

Then Lana puts a glass of wine in front of Ray just waiting.

"Congratulations, Ray, on passing the rank-up exam"

"Oh, I can handle it."

"Well, then Ray just got a toast too...... look, Ray. You're a party leader, so divide up at times like this."

Cullot forcefully tells me to lift a glass of wine in sigh.

"Well, celebrate all those who took the rank up exam successfully and then wish us all the best in the future...... cheers!

Cheers!

Only then did Allogan cheer and mouth happily without disputing anything in particular.

"Still, that was just a tough one to call a rank-up exam. Physically, mentally."

Cullot with a slight frown, but with a mouthful of that. I guess it has the influence of alcohol, but I can feel it from that tone that I was overcome in myself that I killed people.

"Well, that's not a very pleasant thing to do."

Firma agrees with that.

I didn't put it on my face too much when I was actually fighting, but I guess killing people was still a pretty heavy mental pressure.

"... I'm sorry. It's not like I want to talk dark. Let's change the story. What do people do when they get to Rank D? I'm the..."

Cullot says, turning his gaze to Chirali, Alogan and Scola.

"I'm supposed to throw a party with these two."

And a startling word was uttered.

"Oh, come on, you don't have to tell these guys."

"What. I'm one of those guys I ranked up with around the corner, so it's nothing. Synchronization, in other words."

"... I think you two were arguing about the reward, when were we talking about that?

Even for Ray, Cullott's remarks were shocking, he asks with surprise in his face.

It wasn't Alogan or Cullot who answered that question, it was Scola who was finally stopping reading the magic book and enjoying his meal.

Looks like that's what's causing it.

"That?"

"Yes. I think I would have been willing to at some point had I been arguing about the reward. So, the conversation went on to a ton of clapping."

"No, are you good with that? You must be a part of Cullot's party."

Spelvia, who was listening to Ray and Scola's conversation, thrusts in like that, but Scola just nods small that there's no problem.

"Look, me and Cullot are wizards and bandits, right? I've been telling you about the lack of avant-garde because the two of them are partying together. If the two of us were to split it into an avant-garde and a rear guard, Currot would have to be avant-garde... because whatever you say, he's a bandit in the end. Insufficient defense for lack of decisiveness. Given that, it would be a pleasure for me to have a warrior as powerful as Allogan at the party."

"But there's also the compatibility of the party, right?

Instead of bitterly laughing and arguing over Firma's question… I turn my attention to Alogan and Cullot, who are twitching.

"There you go. Similar things are guys."

"... hopefully it won't be inbred hatred"

Bosoli and Ray groaned, and was that fitted in the bump or the power of alcohol? The three men, Skola, Spelvia and Firma, were about to blow out unexpectedly.

"More than that, the three of us have a party, but what about the three of you? Ray the Magic Warrior who can do both the avant-garde and the rear guard on the warrior spelvia, I think it's perfect in balance with the rear guard fielda who can use spiritual magic and a bow."

"Hmm. That sounds interesting too, but if we're going to have a party in that face, I'm not going to say we're going to beat Ray against him... but we need to be able to get across it in five minutes. Kind of."

Spelvia drinks up the wine with a bitter smile and squeals so as she orders a new ale for the damsel Lana.

My pride as a warrior, so I guess I can't stand being held by you in a weaker state than Ray.

"Right... I don't mind anything else. What about Ray?

Ray shakes his head small in Firma's words.

"Whether you want to throw a party or not, you can't do it for a while."

"Oh, why?

Ray opens his mouth by deciding that these people would not even spread the word to everyone on the spot, who felt his gaze gather to himself, including Alogan and Cullot, who should have been twitching until a few seconds ago.

"Take on a little bit of a difficult request. I don't know how long it's going to take, but I guess it's just partying after it's cleared up."

"Oh, could that be why only one person was left in the conference room?

Nodding at Cullot's words.

"Oh. I just got up to Rank D, and it's a sudden nomination request"

"... well, given the strength of Ray, it wouldn't be so strange to talk about it"

Nodding as Spelvia says so.

In this exam I was asked to accompany the training until I reached the Negijo of the Bandits, and at the same time I saw its strength in the fight against the Bandits, and on my way home I was also accompanied by the training. If I tried Spelvia, who played mock battles with Ray almost every day during this rank up exam, I would not be particularly surprised to hear that Ray had just risen to Rank D with a request for nomination, but rather the recognition that if he had as much combat power as Ray, it would be natural.

"Besides, I tried to be a party leader this time, and I knew I wasn't good for group action. I'm sorry about the party leader, even if it's less."

"I do think we could do it solo if we were as strong as Ray... isn't that a little harsh?

"I can see Cullot's worries, but I have a partner, Seto... oh, Griffon. I'll try to act on one and one for a while."

In fact, if you think of Seto as a force, Griffon is a powerful monster, but there are many more skills acquired by absorbing demonic stones. You could say that that power outweighs Rank A adventurers.

(Plus, it's a little bit when you think about the possibility that you can rub it on the Demon Stone thing. It's a solo choice considering the area)

While thinking inside, carry the stir-fry of Poison Toad momomo meat on the table to your mouth.

Just then, at dusk, the wheat pavilion door opens and the pair comes inside.

And those two head straight to the table where the Rays are.

"I heard it in the guild, congratulations on ranking it up"

"Oh, my God."

That's what I've been saying: one wizard and one bowman. He looks familiar to Ray, too.

"Sulnin and ecrylic? Long time no see. I'm glad you took care of Seto while I was gone."

"No, thank you for your help.... Oh, are you sure you want to join us?

I turn my gaze to the surrounding faces at Sulnin's voice, but I nod and recommend a seat because everyone seems to have no particular objection.

"No, and are you rank D already? You're going to be caught up in no time if you stay like this."

"Auntie, I and this one have ales too. Afterwards, appropriate what you can pick."

Ekril also places an order with Lana as she sits in her seat.

"Ray, could these people..."

He nods at the way Firma looks, judging that he knows about the scorching wind.

"Oh. It's a scorching wind sulnine and ecrylic. Get to know each other during the oak crusade.... With that said, what happened to Mileyne? Are you acting differently today?

"Uh... that's it"

Sulnin scratching her cheeks with a bitter smile. I just saw how that went and Ray had a general anticipation.

I see, the stables.

"Yesterday at the guild, Ray, I heard you guys were back, but that made it extra hard to break up with Seto."

"So, you went into the stables?... Well, fine. Drink up here and you'll be here in time."

"Right. I think that's likely. Well, let's celebrate your promising promotion and we'll have the payment here today."

"... okay? You said you didn't have any money until a while ago."

"What, because of Seto, you didn't have to work to defeat Trent. There's plenty of room now."

Thus, the day fell as-is into the banquet.

During the banquet, the face of the scorching wind and the five fielders will be broken down quite a bit, and after that, they will have a lot of eyes.
