That's how Mr. Elena showed me into the room and sat down.

"I'll get right to the point, are you sure?

"Yes."

"Yes, sir"

"Okay. What I want to talk to you about is this previous oak thing."

? Didn't that end with you knocking down the oak?... Could something have happened about Yua's party?

"Maybe I'm wondering a little bit, but yesterday there were a lot of things that I couldn't do immediately to evaluate Mr. Lena and Yua, but I separated them, so I was waiting to tell Mr. Lena and the others.

"Huh? I've done very little, haven't I?

Yua seems to have doubts that she's being evaluated. Well, I don't even know Yua thinks that, but I could be more confident in myself...

Some parts are slightly inferior in terms of combat, but I think he's pretty good at being a bandit. Well, I don't have anything to reference, but I think it's pretty awesome to be able to detect the demon's location or something... Yet I was a little concerned that her rank was the same as mine.

"I heard you put an attack in the oak?

"But only once, right?

"You were causing quite a few injuries, weren't you?

"But you didn't inhibit your behavior, did you?

"As long as the attack goes through properly, you'll be fine. Besides, you're not the kind of monster you can defeat on your own, are you?

"That's right..."

"And there are some parts of your party that weren't ranked up, so it's okay."

"Huh?"

Yua was surprised to hear about Elena, but as far as I'm concerned, I was convinced to hear about Elena. I knew this rank was weird with her strength. Or the strength of the party she's been at is not in the ranks. I thought so, but speaking of which, because I remembered what Emilia said when she asked me about their rank, "no problem," is that the strength of the E-rank... I reconsidered.

"I'm going to raise your rank to E-rank on this one. As for Youre, there may be a big part of the environment you can raise, but I'm not more confident because you have a good talent, too."

"... Huh?

Yua was surprised to hear you say that, even though she was very convinced of what Elena was saying.

"Because Elena is right..."

And Yua was puzzled when she said that with a little confusion.

"Until Lena..."

"Be more confident in yourself"

Sometimes the environment I've been in is terrible and I don't know how awesome I am. But it might take a little while to figure that out. I thought so.

"(Kind of like sisters)"

"? Did you say something?

"Yes, no. That's not..."

I felt like Mr. Elena was whining about something, but was it your fault?

"And you're close, right?

"... well"

That's what they said. I was scratching my cheek. On the other hand, Youre was blushing and laying face down...
