Legend

"Is that it, Mr. Ray? What's wrong with you today?

Kenny, who noticeably spotted Ray entering the guild, calls out with a grin.

Keep going towards the counter, Ray.

It would be a sign of Ray's preference not to like alcohol so much around not choosing to go toward the tavern at this time.

It may also have the purpose of avoiding getting tangled up by drunks who have been drinking and making noise since daytime. In any case, there is hardly any other person in the primitive state who would hang a little on Ray already, but when he drinks and feels more concerned, he sees Ray... then a lot of troublesome things can happen.

"No, I stopped by for a little while... sounds like a lot of free time"

"Haha. It's winter anyway. This is how it always is this time of year. Hey, Lenora."

That's what I said, Kenny speaking to Lenora, who was checking some kind of paperwork on the side.

"Right. But it's not like I don't have a job. Like checking paperwork like I do. Oh, hello, Ray."

Lenora gently returns to Kenny as she looks at the paperwork and bows her head to Ray once she stops working on it.

At that time, the ponytail, already familiar to Ray, was shaking lightly.

"Cu!"

"... Huh? Did you just say something?

Lenora unwittingly asks the voice that suddenly came from Ray.

"... No, it's not your fault?

"Really? Um, I guess I stuffed the roots a little too much."

Lenora leaning her neck and taking her hands off the paperwork just for a break, but Ray turns her gaze to her own shoulder.

There's a disappeared yellow. I just thought I'd wait outside the guild with Seto, but for some reason, the Yellow moved to Ray's right shoulder heading for the guild. It's not making a scene because it's transparent, but if I had shown up, it would have made a scene again because I have a young dragon with me. No, or maybe I was convinced the other way around that I couldn't help it because it's Ray.

Even as a yellow, my husband, Elaine, tells me not to imitate things that make a scene. But more than that, superior orders. There was an order that was given priority next to an order to deliver and receive a letter. To fulfill it, Yellow stares at two of Lenora and Kenny, who are continuing their conversation in a cheerful manner with Ray. It's as if you remember that face as it is and never forget it.

... Yes. That is, faithfully follow the instructions from Elaine, who was ordered to investigate what kind of woman was on Ray's side.

"With that said, what happened to the scorching wind? This past winter, we were asked to crusade Lizardman."

"Well, because Mr. Mileyne seems to be wasting a lot of time on things. Mr. Sulnin was a little foolish. Still, he's accumulated enough to get past the winter with this previous request."

"Hey, Kenny. It's so easy not to divulge information about other adventurers!

He listened beside him and was Lenora, who accidentally frowned and cautioned, but Kenny shrugged his shoulders small.

"I get it. Because you're totally tough."

"Um... Think of it as the common sense of the guild's receptionist before then."

"Yes, sir.... Ah, so to speak..."

Kenny, who was talking to Lenora, retrieves the paperwork as if he had come up with something.

"Ray, I have a good report or a subtle one... which one do you want to hear from?

That's what I said, turn the two documents upside down and show them swinging in front of Hilarious and Ray.

(A good report… is probably about ranking up. In addition to the fact that we talked about being almost rankable when we were in the city of Barr, there was also the Blue Caterpillar crusade request and the case of a spy)

Past Ray's brain is a request from Langa processed as a nomination request. Probably included the price of a shutdown, but the reward was a broken reward for a Rank D adventurer: one gold coin.

With that in mind, I open my mouth just for the moment.

"Well, I'll ask for a good report"

"Okay. Bye!"

With that said, Kenny shows Ray the paperwork he had in his right hand.

That document clearly stated, as expected, that Ray's rank would rise from D to C, along with the Alliance Master's seal of decision.

"Rank C"

Because it was as expected, Ray nodded and received the paperwork from Kenny to fill in the necessary items with a pen, including his signature.

Kenny, watching as he did, opens his mouth somewhere distracted.

"Is that it? Aren't you surprised?

"Well, Min told me you'd be ranking up in a little while before you got Blue Caterpillar's crusade request."

"But it's Rank C in this short period of time!? They keep updating their fastest records since the adventurer guild was created in Guild City!?

- It was Kenny who recruited me all the time, but if I tried to lay it on, I wouldn't be happy enough to get so tense.

Of course, increased rank means higher rank requests can be received than ever before, meaning encounters with more powerful monsters, and at the same time an increased chance of obtaining unknown demon stones.

So of course I'd be happy if you asked me if I was happy or not. But there were times when I lost track of Kenny, who was far more excited than I was, when I was surprised.

"Mmm. Well, you can't help it. I hope so...... yes, next time you're on a subtle report. It's all about ranking up."

The word and offered was one request. They want you to train one person in combat for a week or so. What is different from normal is that its client's location is labeled 'Muet Sisne'? I have a last name, which means a request from a nobleman. Besides, it has been politely requested to be nominated. What a reward 5 copper coins.

……

Ray unexpectedly frowns at its content.

Anyway, when it comes to the nomination requests we've received so far, it's all about exploring the dungeons, delivering medication materials to the city of Barr, and capturing spies who were sneaking into the city of Gilm, all the trouble is still in line.

Of course, I know it takes the form of a request for nomination because of some reason, but it was also true that I would still hesitate to do so, given my previous experience.

(I don't have a problem with requests for nominations regarding the crusade of monsters... more so than training nobles. There won't be any requests that don't suit me like this. Besides, this unusually cheap reward or something)

"Look, you don't look so bad. This also involves ranking up."

"... I heard you need exams from E to D and C to B when you rank up?

It was Ray asking, remembering what he had heard before, but Kenny nods like nothing.

"You're absolutely right. This isn't actually an exam. So, if you fail this request, it won't affect your Rank Up. However, when it comes to C-rank requests, there are requests like this... well, maybe it's like trying it out. That's why the reward is that much. Rank C Alliance cards will be given to you after this request is over."

"... I see. So, why are you bothering to nominate me and ask for me?

"It's the result of negotiations with the Alliance. I'm sure you're convinced the Alliance is recommending you, even over there."

"What is the failure of the request?

"That's a declaration from the other side. However, the premise is that we will only experience C-rank requests this time, so don't worry, there's no fines like regular requests."

(Well, what is it? No, whatever's going on, you're gonna have to take it to rank it up. Of course I guess I can rank up without taking it, but there's going to be some negative elements coming out later)

Sigh at Kenny's words, nodding Ray. On Ray's right shoulder like that, he rubbed his body against Ray's cheek as if he would silently encourage it.

Being silent, I guess I still remembered the word to keep my existence from being known. While admiring its unexpected smartness, Ray goes on to talk to Kenny.

"So, when exactly is that nobleman... eh"

"Baron Cisne."

"Should I go and do it with that Baron Cisne house?

"Especially not for how long. I just have a deadline. Uh... within 10 days, including today."

"Ten days. All right, I'll be there in a minute. Baron Cisne, can you get me a map to the house?

"Yeah, wait a minute.... Yes, this"

There's no way to get lost, and Kenny takes one handwritten map out of the documents nearby and hands it to Ray. Perhaps I had anticipated in advance that Ray would never refuse this request.

"... well, good"

"Huh? What?

"Nothing. Is that all you've got to do than that?

If you don't need anything else, let's go, Ray was just gonna tell him, but Kenny reaches out from the other side of the counter and grabs Ray's dragon robe hem.

"Do you still have something to do?

"Uh, I don't have errands... like a meal... how about that?

He was usually the older Kenny, but Ray is taller now due to the influence of sitting. I was an accidental attempt to snort Ray at Kenny, who invites me to dinner at the top of his head in that state...

"Cu!"

"Kenny, you always say that. Don't talk private at work."

His right forefoot hit Ray's cheek with a small yellow chirp, and at the same time Lenora's cautious voice echoed.

Fortunately, the voices of Lenora and Yellow almost overlapped, so I didn't seem particularly uncomfortable around me...

"... Hey, Lenora"

"Hey, what the sudden. You look different."

"Not really. Didn't you hear anything weird right now?

"... weird voice?

"Yes. Like some kind of small animal..."

"Hmm... there's no such thing as an obedient demon or a subpoena, is there?

"Am I mishearing you?

It didn't sound like Lenora, but it sounded more like Kenny who was on the side of the Yellow.

Still, I thought it was because it was only a whisper, or maybe I heard something wrong.

"Probably.... not. Just concentrate on Kenny."

"When I say work... there's hardly any more. Most adventurers are out of work anyway, so naturally it's less of our job, right?

"That's true, though."

In a way, Lenora unwittingly gets stuck in words at Kenny's point, which is an honest argument.

Ray was watching those two, but a transparent yellow touches Ray's cheek with his forefoot and hurries to move fast.

... Yes, this is one of the orders Yellow was receiving from Elaine. That was to find out who seemed to have a crush on Ray, or if that opponent tried to be close to Ray, stop him as much as he could.

Since the most porn itself is only about 20 cm in length, it cannot be imitated physically. I was able to do it, and it was just as deluding as it is now.

"Well, if you don't seem to have business anyway, I'll go..."

"Whoa, isn't that Ray? If you were coming to the guild, drop by our table!

Soon as Ray speaks the words to the end, someone's hand can be placed on his shoulder.

Fortunately during his misfortune, it would have been his left shoulder that his opponent's stretched hand grabbed him. If this were the right shoulder, perhaps because the yellow would have become a poked out outfit and exposed itself to it. Even if I say I can be transparent, it is only for appearance, and even in that state, the Yellow himself is present there properly. I mean, you can touch it.

Exhaling relief at that fact, it was a female warrior in his 30s or so who was ahead of him turning around. Probably drunk. Her cheeks are stained red and thin.

"Fron."

Ray, who turned around, mutters the name as he looks at the woman warrior's face.

He was a member of the Rank C Party Crusher Warrior, who had previously received Harpy's crusade request together.

Kenny, who had been twisted with Lenora until a few seconds ago, turns his alert gaze on Fron, who can still be called a lady's platter in his 30s.

Try Kenny, the guild's receptionist, and Fron, the same adventurer as Ray and without a specific opponent, was definitely one who deserved vigilance.

Most importantly, this is only Kenny's solo sumo. If you fron it, because Ray in his mid teens was still the only one who lived about half of his life and was not a subject to be recognized as very heterosexual. It is only a recognition such as a good and well made disciple if you try to flon it.

... It is forbidden to say 'son' or 'mother', or 'like a parent or child', even if they are mistaken. Given that Brasso, another member of the crushing warrior who said it, sank to the ground despite being a Dwarf with a reputation for being struck and strength, everyone will know the dangers of those words.

In the end, he was forced to attend a banquet with Fron and Brasso in a tavern that he co-housed in the guild.

Still, luckily, it would have been lucky for Ray to have been able to withdraw before he got drunk.
