Legend

At first, Ray didn't know what Dusker was talking about.

But think about it a little… understanding the meaning of the word makes me even less clear.

No, Ray knows what Dusker's talking about. I can see why all of a sudden I'm telling myself to be a Rank A Adventurer.

"Uh, is that some kind of joke?

For a moment, it was Ray who thought of words like Mireana jokes and Gulm jokes that were not American jokes, but Dusker shook his neck sideways with a serious look at Ray's words like that.

Nielsen looks interesting while eating skewers at such an exchange between Ray and Dusker.

If you try Nielsen, this exchange is just fine as the dish of liquor you see while eating skewers - although there is no liquor anywhere -.

Especially if you try Nielsen, it was very rare to see that Ray, who is not usually upset, was surprised and upset so far.

Ray asks Dusker again, not even realizing he is being turned into a dish of Nielsen liquor.

"Dear Dusker, if I'm not mistaken, I think I told you to take the test of becoming a Rank A Adventurer."

"That's right. In the first place, it's weirder for someone as strong as Ray to be acting as a Rank B Adventurer"

When they say that, Ray can't argue aggressively either.

I understand that I am too overwhelming as a Rank B Adventurer from previous experience.

Basically, the Adventurer ranks nine levels from H to S.

Among them, Rank H is for those who have just become adventurers to receive miscellaneous requests from around the city, where they are equipped while making money and become Rank G by being proven to have more than a certain amount of fighting power.

Also, even though Rank S truly stands at the apex of the adventurer, there are currently only three of them.

Except for such a bottom and top, the remaining ranks are G to A.

And E to G is the novice, C to D is the veteran, A to B is considered first class.

In other words, Ray, now rank B, also deserves to be classified as top notch.

The vast majority of those who become adventurers will be in Rank C or D at their best, and only truly chosen handlers will be above Rank B.

But... Still, in Rank B and A, even the same top notch has different statuses.

In that sense, there was no doubt that Ray was also a rank that was not regarded as truly first-rate.

Most importantly, in Ray's case, he has a deep red alias, so that's why he's treated as more powerful than rank.

For that reason, the current Ray still acts as a Rank B adventurer deserves to be described in a sense as a rank fraud.

"Maybe Ray wouldn't have gotten involved with Anthelm if he was rank A."

"I don't think so."

To Dusker's words, that's what Ray returns when he says it never happened.

In fact, Anterm seemed to know nothing about Ray.

If so, even if Ray was a Rank A adventurer, he wouldn't have understood it and been involved.

If you try anterm, you are a noble blood drawer and rank is the closest a as an adventurer.

I guess that's what you thought when you could do whatever you wanted with just such a person.

"I guess..."

Dusker also collects a variety of information about Anterm.

However, the anterm, amputated by Ray, has completely broken his heart by lightly destroying the magic item, which was also a symbol of his strength.

It would also be significant to be shown the difference in strength to the point of being overwhelming, which existed with Ray.

It was the anterm that I thought we could fight each other at first, but the fact that Ray was on the defensive side of the war by doing something to break Ray's heart was also an action until it was deadly if we tried to make it a prized anterm.

So now the anterm is completely caged inside and even difficult to communicate with.

"Whatever. Leaving aside the Anterm thing, it's hard to remain rank B for a powerful man like Ray. You know that, right?

"Well... it"

Ray can't even argue with Dasker's words.

In fact, even if the Anterm case is a special example, it doesn't necessarily mean that the same thing won't happen in the future due to rank issues.

... In fact, I am often insulted by Ray's appearance rather than ranks.

With Seto, there are not many who insult Griffon by the fact that he is subjugating him.

But if you're traveling with just Ray, it's not uncommon to be tangled up by the effect of the cover-up in the Dragon Robe that you don't think you're a powerful person, judging you're a busy opponent.

Many people in the Guild know Ray's face... but now a large crowd is gathering for additional construction work.

Many of them naturally don't know Ray's face, and given that, there's always a chance of trouble.

(Rather than rank, it looks good after all. It's been a few years since I've been in this world, but I'm not getting any taller)

Ray was also used to his current body, but it was only natural as a man that he still wanted him to be a little taller.

Nevertheless, I decide that I can't afford to think about that now, and see Dusker again.

"I understand the Rank A Adventurer thing, but then you'll see a lot of nobles and stuff, right? I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a nobleman, am I?... No, I think it would be rarer for Dusker to talk to me like this normally as a nobleman."

Ray's words to that effect are true, not flattery or anything.

Basically nobility is a lot of pride as you can see from the anterm.

What happens if such a person meets Ray?

That would be obvious without even thinking about it.

In that sense, it can be said that faces like Dusker and Elaine, Vihera and Ara are more peculiar examples.

"I know that. But given the current situation, Ray needs to be a Rank A Adventurer for anything."

"... as it is now, do you mean no?

"That's right. Deep red aliases are now very large. … there are quite a few things I can't get on the table, and the information is not widely available."

In fact, there are quite a few requests Ray has received so far that he cannot be out-of-the-box.

But it is also true that more than that, Ray has made many requests and has become famous for them.

"So you think I have to be a Rank A Adventurer?

"There's that, too. … A and B. There is only one difference in rank, but the difference in influence is enormous"

Ray nods honestly at Dusker's words.

Among adventurers, rank A and B both count as top notch, but rank A is still overwhelmingly higher in terms of visibility.

Sometimes the presence of Ray is entangled in aristocracy, but even then it will be very different in the correspondence between rank A and B.

With that in mind, it can still be said that Ray's ascending to Rank A is definitely the best choice.

... Nevertheless, there is no doubt that something more troublesome will come up than it is today if it becomes Rank A.

"What do you do with requests for nominations from nobles? Of course, you may want to decide not to take it from the beginning..."

"Of course, I'm thinking more than telling Ray to go up to Rank A in this situation. Why don't we have a deputy and have that deputy make contact with the nobles?

"Agent, is that it?... It helps as far as I'm concerned, do you agree with them?

From the feel of Ray, if a deputy came when he tried to call himself... an alias adventurer to ask for something, not very much, but I don't think the aristocrats would be convinced.

Some of them would be convinced, but many should have been uncomfortable with it.

If so, isn't it all kinds of unsavory to have a deputy?

It's natural for Ray to think so.

Besides, there's also the question of whether Ray can trust the deputy.

Representation, naturally, would also entail various negotiations at the request of the nobility.

In other words, if the agent is entrusted with the negotiation, it will be the agent who will decide on the remuneration.

Of course, even if that's just a personal request that doesn't pass the guild among the nomination requests, if you're going to pass the guild, you probably don't have to worry about that area.

"Some people will say the deputy doesn't care. But if you're a proxy, I can prepare it."

"... Master Dusker? Why are you doing this to me?

Ray is aware that he is close to Dusker.

I have received many requests from Dusker before, and I have taken the job in the form of a personal request rather than a request.

If you say so, in the form of a nomination request that doesn't pass the guild.

In that sense, I'm pretty sure there's trust between me and Dusker.

Also, I'm pretty sure Ray respects Dusker, who also - though not entirely - rules a city called Gilm without a problem.

But still, Ray didn't even know why he would do that.

"This is like a forward investment if you ask me. Ray doesn't understand how much his presence benefits the Guild."

The word is a pure fact that is neither great nor nothing.

Given the benefits that the presence of Ray has brought to the Guild so far, that's as good as having one or two deputies, nothing wrong with Dusker.

No, that still won't be enough.

So many profits, Dusker and Gilm are getting from Ray.

"Pre-investment, is it? To be honest, I don't know if I can live up to that. Given the current situation, maybe you should do that. But you're gonna let me see that deputy, right?

"Naturally. I'm Ray's deputy, so I'll have someone that Ray can be satisfied with."

I'm pretty sure there are no stranger people than Dusker has prepared.

But still, people have compatibility.

No matter how capable you are, Ray doesn't feel comfortable acting with someone he doesn't personally fit with.

It was still necessary to prepare someone to meet Ray personally in order not to do so.

(Can't you just say no when you get this far?)

As for Ray, it's true that he had the idea that he could remain a Rank B Adventurer.

But I can't imitate anything more than saying no to Dusker, Lord of the Guild.

That's how I think about Ray, the Dusker who thought it was another push speaks of his profits as a Rank A adventurer.

"Some Alliance requests are such that only Rank A Adventurers can receive them. If you think about it, I don't think this is such a bad story.

"You can't deny that. But there aren't that many requests that only Rank A adventurers can get."

To be precise, there are many requests that only adventurers above Rank B can take more than Rank A are top notch B and A because of their distinction as Rank A, but when it comes to Rank A exclusivity... it's not that there aren't... but there are still never many of them.

If you think about it, it's only natural, because there are so many requests that you can't take unless you're a Rank A Adventurer.

Besides, this is the Gilm of the Border.

In that sense, it's not surprising that there are many requests for Rank A Adventurers.

"I understand the story. But... Being a Rank A Adventurer can be a hassle, right?

"Of course."

I'm going to ask Ray again, and Dusker nods like he deserves it.

If this is also rank S, that's the only way you can even kick a request from the country, but you can't get that far in rank A.

"There are a lot of troubles, but the nobleman's case will be solved if you give him a surrogate. But... the problem is, if you have a crush on the royal family,"

"... do you have one? I'm an adventurer after all, aren't I?

"You can't call someone with an alias, a Griffon an obedient demon, and an item box a one-time adventurer"

Dasker returns so lightly to Ray's words.

In fact, it is an unmistakable fact that the elements Ray has are easy to get into the eyes of others in various places.

(Royal?... Isn't that so funny when you think about Vihera?

In Ray's head, he thought of the beauty of his companion, Vihella, as the Empress of the Bestian Empire.
