Legend

Even though it's a labyrinth city, it doesn't change that much time, less time, of people in the guild.

Anyway, the monsters in the dungeons are also more ferocious if they are at night like regular monsters, so it was only natural that few would want to go out of their way to fight monsters that are more ferocious.

There are monsters that only show up at night, or ore and plants that can only be harvested at night in the dungeons, so if you ask me if there are any adventurers in the dungeons at all at night, that's no good.

Some of them are purely combat fanatics who enjoy the fight itself, not the strategy of the dungeon or the collection of materials. If you try to be such a person, a dungeon at night that increases the ferocity of your enemies may be called paradise in a sense.

Anyway, with some exceptions, it was true that a guild during the day is a small number of adventurers, whether guilds or eggs.

Even a little past noon when Ray and Elaine came into the guild. It was such a time period that the gaze of curiosity they received from around them was at its lowest.

"I didn't think Seto was asleep."

"If you're going to say that, so is Yellow. I didn't know that sleeping with Seto was a priority over the Lord when he said he was my user demon..."

"If you're a normal user demon, I don't think so."

The gaze of the adventurers and guild staff who were in the guild is exposed to the two people who entered the guild as they exchanged words that way.

One is a wizard in a robe, or a mid teenage boy who thinks he's a wizard apprentice. This one is fine. The robe you're wearing looks somewhat extravagant, but that's all. It's not as big as it looks in the city of Eggzil... but I was able to tell if it was a runaway wizard or something with quite a few of them.

The unfortunate thing at this time would have been that there was not one person left in the Alliance who had the ability to feel the magic of their opponent, starting with the Wizard. Not so many of them had such abilities, and now time was diving into the dungeon. Therefore, those who saw the two appearances could only assume that they were accompanied or something by Elaine, who was next to Ray.

And who's next door. A feminine body that draws abundant curves, even from the golden hair and from above the armor. Beauty enough to nail the gaze of the beholder, even though it makes you feel the strength of Rin's will.

Elaine's overwhelming presence calms her back in the guild for a few seconds.

But make it Elaine, make it Ray, and go to the reception because I'm already used to this kind of attitude.

"I'm sorry. We got to Exile today, but I need you to go through the process to get into the dungeon."

"... Ah, yes!

When I saw Elaine up close, she was the receptionist I had accidentally fallen in love with, but returned to me immediately. I guess this neighborhood is unique to the guild's receptionist in the labyrinth city.

"Um, I'd like an ID, please.... is that you too?

Chirali, and the receptionist who comes looking toward Ray.

"Oh, me too, please. This is my guild card."

Tell him so, Ray taking the guild card out of Mystering in the dragon robe.

Alliance card placed on top of the counter. The receptionist's gaze is still pointed at Elaine, and when she casually takes the card placed on the counter, she looks straight at Ray to confirm his identity.

As for the receptionist's feelings, I guess it's honest that she wanted to know Elaine's qualities more than Ray's. That's why I glanced at Ray's guild card, but the moment I saw the guild rank, the movement stops.

"... Huh? Rank B?"

It was the whisper that made me squeal. Originally, it was a small voice to the extent that it disappeared distracted by the murmurs around it.

But now the gaze of those in the guild is gathered in Elaine, and that is why she is quiet. I mean, even a small voice like the receptionist whined sounded good enough for an adventurer near the counter.

It doesn't sound like the whole guild. In the first place, Exil's guild is extraordinarily larger than Guild's in relation to that of Labyrinth City. This is because it is difficult for a beginner to crusade even monsters who are on the periphery of the city.

Some monsters, even beginners like Goblin, can defeat without problems, but also monsters that are peripheral but therefore out of hand at low ranks usually show up near the streets.

For this reason, most beginner adventurers in the Guild were born and raised in the Guild, and there are not so many low-ranking adventurers coming from outside the city.

Compared to such guilds, Exil, a labyrinth city, basically only leaves low-ranked monsters in shallow hierarchies like the upper level of the dungeon, and vice versa, there are high-ranked monsters if you dive into deep hierarchies. In other words, with more beginners, the Alliance needs to be the right size. What's more, Eggzil's guilds rarely have a tavern combined. This is also probably because there are many adventurers in the city because it is a labyrinth city.

There was no such thing as the receptionist's words echoing all inside the guild, just the guild with that size...

"Rank B?

"Huh? Is that the kid?

"You're lying, aren't you? I don't care what you think. You're an apprentice wizard, right?

"Isn't that why you made some mistake at the guild? Even I'm still rank D, but there's no way that kid's rank B or anything."

"... Huh!?

In that way, as it gradually spread from the stories of the adventurers who were at the counter to those who were in the guild that Ray was rank B... the man of rank C adventurers who happened to stop by the guild to sleep and train is breathtaking.

The man is not famous in the sense that he said he would stand tall and arm, but he was still known as a well looked after veteran for sometimes spending nearly 15 years as an adventurer. It was only natural to draw attention from the surrounding area because such a person gave a breathtaking and even more astonishing look.

"Mr. Nebros, what the hell is wrong with you?

The veteran adventurer, one of the adventurers who noticed something was wrong with Nebros, sounds worried.

It was a man in his late teens who talked to him, and he has taken care of Nebros more than once. Perhaps you could have called it the relationship between the master and the disciple in a way. I asked worryingly because it was such a relationship, but Nebros shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing.

"Never mind, I just had an idea"

"But I don't... Oh, could it have been something done to that self-proclaimed Rank B or something? I'll say Gatsun if you like. Anyway, such a kid would be a mistake of some sort for Rank B, and if you ask him with strength..."

"Stop it!

Unexpectedly loud. Because if you do that, you know what you're going to see. Yes, that's just like the first time Nebros found out about the existence of Ray...

"Mr. Nebros?

"... I didn't even know he was Rank B, but it's true he has that much strength. I'm checking directly with these eyes."

"Direct confirmation... this is the first day I've seen them in this Exil, isn't it? No, I don't know the kid over there, but with all those beauties, I don't like them, but they'll be rumors."

What are you talking about? And he was the man who asks me if Nebros is even joking, but what came back to that is Nebros' gaze so serious that there is no more.

"Look, you know I took part in the war with the Bestian Empire in the spring, right?

"Yeah, yeah. Of course. I wanted to join in, but I can't and regret it because of the rank issue... No way. Is that kid in that war?

I guess I understood what Nebros wanted to say in the middle of the story. A man who turns his stunned gaze to Ray.

War in the Bestian Empire, those below rank E were barred from participating in the war as mercenaries by the Alliance. The man himself, at the time, was almost ready to take the rank-up exam to Rank D, but he couldn't take the rank-up exam because of the question of the time, and ended up not being able to participate in the war. I mean, the apprentice wizard at the end of his gaze... even though he looks like a wizard who has finally just become independent, it would mean that that kid was at least rank D or better at the time.

In other words, rank B, which the guild receptionist spoke of earlier, may also be treated as rank B due to a mistake in the guild.

He was the man who thought so, but reality betrays it easily.

"Have you participated in the war? No, it's not that simple. He's... he's... deep red,"

Takeshi.

Other adventurers who were listening to Nebros and the man around them shrugged as soon as they heard the name Deep Red.

Only one adventurer inflicted near devastation against enemy front forces. Who can even be called the newest hero, following the Griffon of the Rank A monster, also known as Reaper of the Great Sky. A man who is not out of time, but is rumored to have won or lost the war because of the power of the man among adventurers, knights and soldiers who participated in the war. That's who has the alias Deep Red.

Deep Red, several adventurers who heard the word and were about to tangle into Ray for Elaine accidentally stop moving.

Note that the gaze of those in the guild is gathering in Ray at this time, and no one realizes that Elaine is the Princess General, even if the alias General Tara is ringing in the surrounding countries, there was no one who actually saw her. And if anyone knew the face of General Princess, it would have been due to the assumption that General Princess, who is also the Duke's Lady, could not be in a place like this.

"What is deep red... is there such a kid!?

"Oh. I see him using magic directly.... That was awesome. Honestly, I've never seen a giant flaming tornado like that before in my life. Plus, it throws a barrel from the air inside that tornado, and when that barrel is destroyed, it adds extra killing power with metal pieces. Or stroke your enemies with a patterned sickle long enough to exceed your height."

……

It's not the eye you're joking about. I'm telling you the truth that Nebros has come to see.

Not so much for many years... Just because Nebros taught me the adventurer Iloha, the man figured it out.

I mean...

"Real, deep red"

Whimpering and accidentally swallowing spit.

That was also true of the men around us who were listening to Nebros.

Deep Red, the word spread similar to the word Rank B released earlier by the receptionist, and the gaze of the adventurer now in the guild is all toward Ray.

While receiving such a gaze, Ray calls out to the receptionist without looking concerned.

"Is there a problem with Rank B?

"Yes, no. No problem at all. I'll be ready in a minute. … who is that woman…"

Chilari, and turns his gaze to Elaine and asks terribly.

I wonder if this overshaped woman is out of common sense again, just like Ray.

Because of such preliminary knowledge, I didn't have to speak up when I saw the documents I was given.

Even if you look at the name Elaine Kelevel, which is written there.

"Huh!?... Ok. No problem. I'll have it ready in a minute, please."

Breathtaking, the receptionist, who decides there's no reason to make a scene just like when Ray was there, rushes through the process.

Few of the adventurers around them noticed how the receptionist was, thanks to their focus on Ray.

And a few minutes later, two cards prepared and something like a crystal sphere slightly larger than a flat hand are placed on the counter.

"Please place your right hand over this crystal and gently let the magic flow while holding this dungeon card with your left hand. That will complete the process.... Let me check it out, but you can let the magic flow, right?

Two people nodding silently at the receptionist's words.

It is necessary to use magic items, large or small, to flush magic. That was, for example, the act of Ray using a death size, or Elaine using a jointed sword… the same was true when using magic items that create seed fires like those used in everyday life.

However, some of them can't even use magic items like those used in everyday life due to their physical condition, so the receptionist asked, but that was only just in case.

Either way, it's General Deep Red and the Princess standing in front of me.

And in fact, the registration of the dungeon card was completed without any particular problems.
