"Congratulations, Mr. Shroud"
Handle all kinds of aftermath about the Bandits until evening...
Later, when called to the Adventurer Guild, Natalie, smiling, told me that.
"Congratulations, what... what do you mean?
"This time, Mr. Shroud's Adventurer Rank Up has been determined"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, it spills a missing voice between them.
Me rank up?
"Mr. Shroud will be promoted from F-rank to E-rank."
"Really?
"Oh, you did it, Rain. ♪ Congratulations!
Canade blesses me innocently, but not really.
Speaking of what I've done since I became an adventurer, it's still about collecting herbs.
Natalie seems to understand my question, and she explains it.
"All you need to do to rank up is make a certain number of requests. Mr. Shroud has not yet fulfilled the prescribed quantity request… special measures have been taken"
"How could you do that?
"Even though you did it yourself, did you forget? It's about black fangs."
"Oh."
Somehow I understood the story.
"The destruction of the pitch-black fangs that other adventurers were burning their hands on is often due to Mr. Shroud's accomplishments. Or thanks entirely to Mr. Shroud."
"No, I just paralyzed them, and I didn't make a big deal out of it."
"Be modest. We've heard that King Lizard has come along with Mr. Canade to help us escape."
"Eh, that's..."
It's a bit embarrassing to be pointed out by others again.
At the same time, I reminded you of something I didn't like.
At that time, I was self-absorbed.
Again, if you told me to do the same thing, I might say no.
That's how hard it was.
"Our guild has determined that Mr. Shroud contributed greatly to the destruction of the pitch-black fangs. Therefore, in recognition of his achievements, we have decided to increase Mr. Shroud's ranking."
"Oh well... thanks"
"Don't say thank you. Because if we were, we would have to apologize."
"What do you mean?
"A pitch-black fang is a request equivalent to a C-rank. Mr. Shroud, who has accomplished this, will be judged to have a strength comparable to the C-rank."
"Nha? Well, isn't it strange to get promoted to the E-rank? Shouldn't you be promoted to C-rank?
He questioned me, and Canade pinched my mouth from the side.
I've been thinking about something similar, so I won't stop it in particular.
"That's the problem..."
Natalie looks sorry.
"There was a decision that 'Adventurers must rank up every step of the way'...... sorry. It is true that Mr Shroud did a C-rank equivalent, but the rules are the rules. Yeah, so easy, we can't make many exceptions... Rank up was allowed as an exception, but this one couldn't. I'm sorry."
"Oh, no. I have nothing to apologize for. If that's the case, I can't help it. I'm not upset or complaining, either."
"It would be helpful if you could say that"
"Rather, I'm just glad it was easy to rank up."
……
"What's going on?
"Kusu. Mr. Shroud, you're sweet. You must care about me, don't you?
"... that's not true"
"If you mean no, let's just say that"
Natalie, smiling and laughing, is beautiful and stuck in love.
"Stay!?
"Nyah..."
For some reason, Canade stomped on me.
――――――――――
A lot has happened, but the rank has risen and I have been able to get paid as well.
"Wow, that's a lot of money."
"I can't rank them up, but they've got a special reward for them instead"
Three gold coins.
That's the reward for a series of cases.
You look like a canade ladder...
Then he looks like he remembers something all the time and his tail gets fuzzy.
"Ugh..."
"What's going on?
"I'm hungry..."
"Ha ha."
I'm stuck laughing at Canade-like words.
"Nyah, laughing is terrible. I've done a lot of good."
"Bad. Right, Canade did a lot of good work. Do you want to make dinner?"
"Ooh, dinner ♪ Eat, eat! Eat a lot -"
Canade smiles with a chuckle and a full face.
Hey, who was drooling?
It's a cash kid.
But maybe these bright spots are Canade's charm.
"Rain, Rain! Me, I want fish! Just thinking about who's going to come out of the grease."
"He's already out."
"Oops...... hehe, they saw me embarrassed. Rayne, let's go home! Fish for dinner today."
