Legend

Having finished his job of handing over the felled trees of Trent's Forest to the Alchemists, Ray decides to take a promotion exam to Rank A without any context while buying various skewers.

Once you make that decision, Ray acts fast.

I buy several dishes besides skewering in the stalls along the way and enjoy them with Seto before returning to the Lords' Hall again.

Hopefully the negotiations between Nielsen and Dusker have been over more than that since I left, I greet the gatekeeper, then go inside the mansion, break up with Seto heading into the courtyard, and then ask the maid to show me to the office.

Going out with some unrecognizable people along the way, but many of them have a look that doesn't seem interesting.

(Maybe it was rejected that I was scheduled to meet with Master Dusker)

It's more natural than having Nielsen, but I can't imitate meeting someone else.

If I were to meet him, I would need Nielsen to hide somewhere, but given Nielsen's character, Ray also found out that he couldn't have done that.

And as a dusker who doesn't want people to know as much about the fairy's existence as possible, he can't possibly imitate things like keeping Nielsen in the hands of others.

Also, given the possibility that negotiations with Nielsen are prolonged, I guess we don't have time to meet other people.

Or, if anyone had come to see Dusker on urgent business, it might have been another story.

In that, Ray is so lightly guided to the office, I guess, because he heard Ray was coming back from Dusker in advance.

Eventually, when the maid arrives in front of the office, she knocks on the luxurious door as usual.

"Dear Dusker, Lady Ray is here"

"Ray. Get in."

To the voices heard from inside, the maid gives way to Ray for a place.

This one was also told by Dusker before Ray came, that Ray is the only one who goes inside the office, and he doesn't intend to go in.

Word of thanks to the maid who guided me, Ray opens the door and enters the office.

"Excuse me....... oh, I knew it"

After all, the word was negotiated in the office in such a way that Nielsen and Dusker both did not take a step back, because they found it possible.

It should be noted that the skewer grill I left on the table had already disappeared beautifully and only the skewers remained on the plate.

(Nielsen, I wonder how you ate skewers? Doesn't look dirty though)

Nielsen is about the size of his palm.

So, if we were going to eat skewers, we would have had a pretty rough time.

That's not strange that the whole body is dirty with gravy and sauce, but from what Ray has seen, Nielsen's body is not dirty anywhere.

Maybe Dusker pulled the meat out of the skewer and did it? I think.

... It should be noted that Ray is personally the type of skewer that eats skewers while they are stung in the skewers.

When I was in Japan, I used to get into trouble with people who were doing things like pulling yakitori out of a skewer and eating it when I gathered with friends for some reason.

To be precise, if I were to pull my share out of the skewer, it was because I pulled the other's share out of the skewer as well.

"Are you back? Have you handed over Trent's forest trees safely?

"Yes. That's done fine. I stopped by the stall a lot later, so it was late."

That said, Ray takes out the skewers he bought from Mystering and puts them on a plate.

A scent that stimulates appetite, drifting inside the office.

Um, can Ray be the kind of thing that makes you smell like this inside the office? And I really think about it now.

In the first place, by the time I left the skewer before I went out, it was too late.

"Right.... so let's get down to business. Promotional exams to Rank A, what do we do?

As a Dusker, it was just now, and I didn't immediately answer when I heard it here, and I thought I needed to wait a few days.

Still, I asked because I wanted to let them know that I was taking this matter so seriously.

That's why I could only be surprised at the words Ray uttered at the next moment.

Okay, I'll take the promotion exam.

"... what?

A loose voice between, leaking out of Dusker's mouth.

Ray hearing that voice is better, that's what gives me the surprise look.

"What's up?

"No, now...... you said you would take the Rank A Adventurer promotion exam?

"Yes. Are you going to?

"... are you serious?

That's a word I don't know how to react to if I try it on Ray.

In the first place, it was Dusker who asked Ray to take the promotion exam to the Rank A Adventurer.

And when that Dusker says Ray takes the promotion exam, are you serious? That's what they're saying.

Could it have been some kind of joke you've been telling yourself whether to take the promotion exam?

Even if that's what Ray thinks, it won't be weird.

"Uh, was it possibly a joke about the promotion exam?

"No, that's not true. I was really going to ask Ray to take the promotion exam. I'm just surprised you didn't think you'd get such a light reply."

"This kind of thing is just confusing, even if you think deeply, so you should make up your mind about what's going to happen and the atmosphere on the spot."

"... no, you... it's a promotion exam to Rank A Adventurer, huh? Is that how you want me to decide?

"That's okay. If you think deeply about it, maybe you don't take a promotion exam or something like that, right? As a Dusker, you want me to take the exam, don't you? Then shouldn't it be as it is now?

To Ray's words, Dusker nods.

In fact, are you sure you want to take the exam here? If you listen to it like that and it also becomes something like stopping Ray from taking the exam as a result, that's the worst result.

"Then I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure about this?

"Yes, and now, if I take the promotion exam, I can get a lot of help from Dusker with a proxy or something.... but that's what I'd like to hear too, can you help me that far?

Dusker is the one who leads the neutral faction of one of the three main factions, making it a lord with territory on the border that exists only in the Kingdom of Mireana.

It would be natural to wonder that such a person, who is also not a subordinate - although others see Ray as Dasker's katana - could cooperate so far with Ray.

But Dusker nods naturally to Ray's words.

"Thanks to you, the benefits Gilm has received so far are enormous. With that in mind, that's about as natural a story as it gets."

"Still, I also feel like it's a little too much. No, as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad you did. That's why I was willing to take the promotion exam."

Bad expression, but it's a big point that I was going to take the promotion exam now because I can get a lot of help from Dusker.

Even when I was in Japan, I used to see a mail-order show on a TV show that did things like 'I'll put a special extravaganza on it now', but if I told you, it was also an undoubted fact that this time Ray was willing to take the promotion exam at the request of Dusker, which was affecting him.

(Maybe a little more stickiness here would have increased the help from Master Dusker.... though, if I were forced here to imitate that, then I might have been told I wouldn't help)

It's where Ray wants to avoid saying he can't help and that he's going to lose that help after all.

If so, it would certainly have been best to take it on in the present circumstances.

"So, if I take the promotion exam... what am I supposed to do?

"In the meantime, get ready this way. If it's going to be a promotion exam to Rank A, I don't need a letter of recommendation from nobility. Besides me. Let's get that ready here."

"Okay, but... Anterm, you've often been a Rank A Adventurer"

If you can be your own strength, it's not surprising that Anterm can also be a Rank A Adventurer.

When Ray fought, he knocked him out without using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor in his back hand, but his strength was definitely what he deserved to call first-rate.

But what is its strength? Back to back, Anterm has a personality problem.

... Although Ray may not be able to talk about people again in terms of having personality problems.

Either way, given Anterm's character, I didn't really think I could get a letter of recommendation from any other nobleman, which was also multiple.

Still, I'm pretty sure the fact that Anterm was becoming a Rank A Adventurer also cleared the terms around it.

"Anterm is drawing noble blood. With that in mind, it wouldn't have been a difficult story to get a letter of recommendation from a nobleman. I guess I had the strength. And..."

So once he stopped the words, Dusker turns his gaze to Ray and opens his tease.

"Anterm is only drawing noble blood, and he's familiar with courtesy towards nobility. In that regard, I'd say it was closer to a Rank A adventurer than Ray"

"I'm jealous to draw noble blood."

"I guess. But it can be detrimental because it draws noble blood. I don't know if my personality is distorted by my growing up. You'll see that when you look at the anterm."

"Well, that is. Though, you're not distorting your personality because you're noble, are you? In fact, some of the nobles are solid."

"I guess. But this is a matter of possibility. Something else might have to do with the character of the family."

Ray also understood what Dusker said.

I was able to do it, but if you ask me if Anterm didn't have the same personality if I grew up differently, I can't help but lean my neck.

I can't imagine that Anterm isn't that kind of personality.

"Anterm, what happened?

"Dead."

That's how Dasker responds to Ray's words lightly.

Ray doesn't even know if that word is true.

Or there was still the possibility that he was alive, but still, that Dusker would affirm this way, I guess, that if he were alive, he would never come out on the table again.

If so, I didn't have to think about anything more like what happened to Anterm because he's the person for Ray to never get involved with again.

"Really? Ok.... Whatever the case, when exactly is the promotion exam going to start?

If this is a lower ranked promotion exam, the exam is done quite often.

Because that's actually how the promotion exams Ray has been going through.

But what Ray will take this time is a promotion exam to Rank A.

Rank A is the best rank as an adventurer if you skip the rank S that exists in a special sense.

It is not possible to imitate that exams are carried out immediately, beyond being promotional exams to such ranks.

Ray had heard that from someone before, so I somehow understood the neighborhood.

"I don't know. I want to make it as hasty as possible, but the Alliance is busy with the construction work."

"I guess."

Many are now gathered in the Guild in search of work in the construction works.

And the Alliance assigns jobs to such people, and that's how busy hell they are every day.

If it's a simple task, it imitates that you don't have to come directly to the guild to do the procedure in the workplace, but still only to the extent that the baking stone is somewhat better than the water.

Promotional exams to such guilds...... it is difficult to deal with them in guilds as a matter of course when that is also a promotion exam to Rank A.

Originally, people are sent from another guild nearby at times like this, but it is also difficult to do so when it comes to a periphery like the Guild.

Near Gilm there are cities like Abu Ero and Subrusta, but that's a city on the way to Gilm.

Naturally, the adventurers also stop by when moving to the guild, where they do things like take some kind of request or complete a request, so make sure it's not as good as the guild, the guild staff is busy.

Still sending some manpower to the guilds, but still the guilds of the guilds were busy.

(Considering that, will the worst rank-up test be a winter or something with a paragraph in construction work? I wish you could do it sooner)

Yes, Ray thought.
