Bertram, who managed to return, comes to Atal and Caro.
"... Ugh... Ha ha, sorry to keep you waiting... I did"
Bertram, who looked painful because he was hitting everywhere, breathed constantly.
"Oh, oh, calm down a little. We don't run away from each other. Look, you should sit on this and rest."
Ataru, who had his cheeks pulled by surprise, offered Bertram a chair that was close by.
"Thank you, ugh"
Calm down, Bertram drinks up a glass of water the receptionist brought him.
"So, what's your business? I'm not in a hurry, so talk to me slowly."
"Yes. What about your rank?"
Ataru clouds his expression when he hears that. Caro also looked up at Atal with a hazy look on his face.
"... talking about increasing our rank or something like that?
Bertram was nodding deeply when he heard Atal's prediction of a slightly disgusting voice.
"I confirm the activity of the two of you myself. It's not inferior to the S-rank adventurer's Fewder. Then I think it's natural for you to rise to a higher rank!
and declare it out loud.
The other receptionists snorted at the words.
The other adventurers didn't come out with their mouths either, but there was an atmosphere where they generally agreed with that opinion.
"- Uh, on the pass. I mean, we've never had another problem in our current ranks. It doesn't mean I can't live without a request from the guild, and I thought you needed to take an exam to be A-ranked. Besides, if you get above A-rank, there's also a reverse nomination, right?
Atal turned down Bertram's offer with a flinch of hands up.
Reverse nomination - that is, an adventurer may be nominated by nobility to make a request to this adventurer instead of choosing to take this request.
"And you can't refuse that request - can you?
Caro, who guessed what Atal wanted to say, supplements his words.
"Oh. Yes, what happens if I say no?
"Depending on the opponent's response, basically, is the demotion of the Adventurer Rank. Sometimes when it's bad, it's adventurer guild banishment."
"I see."
Atal knew the answer and asked the question, and Caro was mouthing the answer he was looking for.
As if they had been prepared, the two thought the same thing and uttered the conclusion they wanted to make.
"... uhm, that's true..."
"Noble requests aren't all bad, either, are they? Basically, the rewards are high, and it's not bad to have connections with powerful nobles. I can ask you to help me if I have any problems. I can't tell you about people either, but don't you guys ever get caught up in a rub?
Bertram gets stuck in words and Fewder actually talks about the benefits he is receiving.
"You're weak to that extent. We're not in trouble for money, and we know a few people in power."
"Right. I've met a lot of people so far."
Master of Adventurer Alliances everywhere. I also met royalty in one country. In this country he helped the minister's son.
The two of them had remembered such a journey so far.
"Hmm, then that's it. If you get a higher rank, you'll get an interesting request. It's like I can't usually take it..."
"Like defeating a dragon?
"Ugh......!
Fewder manages to mention any good points, but it gets lightly rounded up in the return of the atar.
"Basically, I think it's a good idea to increase your rank if you want to make money. Besides, if you want to target the top material, as Fewder says, it's important to get a difficult request, including that information. But we fought those dragons in this rank. And lots of rewards."
Previously, other countries have been able to participate regardless of rank.
Moreover, most of them were all those whose rewards would be multiplied depending on the outcome.
"But we didn't have to give them rank. We did them. In the first place, Rank Up will be honorable when it's more than constant...... oh yeah. Give Caro his rank to B. It's easier to understand than me."
"Of course it is!
Bertram, who sparkled his eyes, responds instantly to the words of a light atar.
He seems happy to finally hear the Ataru's request.
"- Huh!?
No way, I don't think he's going to rank up just himself, and Caro startles and sounds weird with his ears pinned.
"A, Dear Atal! I'm the only one who gives..."
"That's okay. We've always stood next to each other and fought. So it's okay to rank the same."
He sees Caro grate and atal as he eats down, but he doesn't seem to be going to bend it because it's already a matter of decision in him with the leopard over his shoulder.
"Ugh...... ok. Well, thank you for ranking me up. Oh, it's B-rank! Please don't ever do it above that. Hey!
I'm glad for her that it's the same as Atal, but Caro was firmly cautioned when he approached Bertram to eat in, because being above him is absolutely something to refuse.
"Wow, I get it"
Bartram, barely pressured by her temper, receives Caro's card and asks him to hand it over to the receptionist for immediate procedure.
The process was completed in about a few dozen seconds over time, and Caro received the card.
"Well, we're going now, but if you need anything... where?
"Um, is it at the minister's?
But I'm not necessarily there.
Ataru and the others are staying free, so let's just say there is no place to settle.
"Well, I think I'm still in this country anyway, so look for me appropriately. The guard and the minister can see your face, so hit me from the bottom of it. Bye."
When I told him that, Atal and Caro left the Adventurer Alliance behind.
The remaining Fewder, Bertram, the receptionist and the adventurers who were nearby have a surprising look on their face.
"... Did I just say minister?
"Why does an adventurer look like a guard...?
As everyone on the spot stood flaunted, we were to drop off the Ataru's backs with all of these two questions in mind.
