The creation of the guild is very much the same as that of the Horizon.

There is a reception counter, a billboard with a requisition form, and a place for adventurers to interact with each other.

Compared to the Horizon, it is large and boasts several times the size...... otherwise the basic making is the same.

Axe and Cell were sitting in a chair and talking to strange adventurers.

Probably was having a request meeting.

"Uh... that's a hiccup"

"Yeah, right."

An unscrupulous greeting is exchanged.

Neither me nor Axe have a good look at them.

He's slightly out of sight and looks awkward.

"Ooh, it's a cell. Long time no see." "

"How have you been?

"Yeah, you don't even have to ask."

The women seemed to have nothing to do with the awkwardness and were delighted with the hissing reunion.

Seeing a partner like that, Axe panics.

"Oh, come on, Cell. Why are you treating me like that?

"You say strange things. I met a nostalgic face, so it's not normal to do this. Or do you want me to look nasty?

"I'm not saying that... but, you know, me and Rain..."

"You're in conflict."

"If I know, why...?

"Ha...... ax. Are you nuts?"

Says the cell as if it was stunned.

The word seemed unexpected, and Axe made his face snap.

"We used to be in conflict, but now we wouldn't have a reason to, would we? We fought, but we didn't want to kill each other. Or maybe Axe won't make up with someone he had a fight with for the rest of his life?

"That's not true... but it's all of a sudden. You can't break it off so easily."

"That's because you're a child."

Does that mean I'm an awkward kid too...?

I'd like to ask, but they're going to say, "You're right," so I stopped.

"What... I'm sorry. I interrupted the conversation."

Cell apologized to the adventurer he was talking to.

He seems like a good person and smiles back.

"Don't worry about it. Listen, you know him, don't you? I'll go, I'll warm up my old relationship."

"Thanks"

"Oh, come on, I'm not..."

"Well, I'll see you later on that one"

The adventurer left a smile behind his guild.

……

……

Silence.

It seems everyone left it to me to talk to the two of them, and I won't say anything.

Cell, too, apparently gave Axe the lead in the story, and he won't say anything.

"Uh... how have you been?

It's also alley to keep quiet all the time, so I threw in a hard word.

"Sort of. What about you?"

"As you can see."

"You're the same harem... damn. I wish I was surrounded by so many beautiful girls..."

"Oh. If you're not happy with me, you can always dissolve me, okay?

"Sorry it was my fault. So don't say that!!!

Axe was grounded at the speed of light.

"Yes, now I couldn't see how I got grounded..."

"Wow... that's pretty good"

Canade and Tania were at war in strange places.

"You look good."

"... and the Rains."

A little, but we could finally laugh at each other.

For once, I thought the edge was broken...

That didn't happen and we could interact again.

Well, just face to face, I don't know if we can get along like we did when we were traveling together...

Still, I'm honestly happy to be able to talk to you again.

"Do you have time? Well... we're free. Don't hang out with him for a little while."

"You're a tundra"

"That's a tundra."

"Ugh!

To Sora and Luna's clinging, Axe turned red in his face and shouted.

I decided to take Axe's invitation, and I got on the table.

By the way, because of the large number of people, I decided to connect the two tables.

Everyone just took their seats, and the cell smiles softly.

"Again... hiccup. Looks like she was feeling better, more importantly."

"Sounds like you're both the same."

"Oh, does that mean it's not growing?

"No, that's not what I meant... Cell, are you being mean?

"Pfft, I'm just kidding."

"... you guys are close?

Axe has turned to Zito's eyes.

"What makes you think that Cell's smile is just for me!?

"Who belongs to whom?

"Shh, sorry...... I'm on track"

Axe has a distressed look on his face.

Probably being stepped on.

"By the way, why did the Rains go to Wang Du? Could it have changed the base of activity?

"No, that's not it. Trying to take an exam."

"Maybe an A-rank one?

"Oh. After Axe and Cell left, we had a little incident at Horizon... and when we solved that, we could have been promoted to B-rank. That's when I heard about the A-rank promotion exam, so..."

"I see. Wouldn't that be nice? I don't think Raines would have a problem. Still... is this on the edge too?

"Yeah? What's that..."

"Don't tell me. These things are funnier to keep quiet"

Sounds like something, but they're not going to teach Cell.

I don't think it's a bad thing because you look like your kid is plotting a hoax...... hmm, don't worry about it.

――――――――――

"Well, it's time for us to go."

We talked for a while, and that's what the cell says and stands up.

Axe also follows and takes his seat.

If you noticed, about half an hour had passed.

Looks like he talked into it unexpectedly.

"If you like, I'll see you around. This is the contact information for the inn we're staying at."

"Thank you. We haven't decided on an inn yet, so I'll call you when I do."

"I'll be waiting. Look, let's go, Axe."

"I know. Before that...... uh, Rain"

"Yeah?"

"... see you later"

"Oh, again"

Regardless of the cell, there's still something awkward about Axe.

Still, I'm walking away a little bit.

"Rayne, you look happy."

"Really?

"Yeah, I am."

"... right. I'm happy for you."

For once, I thought my relationship with you was completely broken.

I want to thank destiny that didn't happen.

"Well... shall we do what we do?"

"It's a gourmet tour of the king's capital!

"No."

"Apply for a promotion exam."

"Tina's right, don't forget your purpose, okay? Gourmet tours, that's what happens after that."

"I heard you! It's a promise!

I grin bitterly and head to the reception.

"Excuse me."

"Yes, what is it?

"What, Mr. Natalie!?

For some reason, Mr. Natalie was playing receptionist.

"Oh, do you know Natalie?

"Huh? Huh?

"Heh, you seem to mistake me for Natalie for that."

"Is it not...?

"No, I'm not. I call my twin sister Nanary. Best regards,"

Surprised.

I can't believe Natalie has a twin sister and is an adventurer guild receptionist as well...

I guess you didn't tell me this because you thought we'd be surprised.

Natalie, there's something naughty about that.

"Maybe it's Mr. Shroud?

"Why are you talking about me?

"My sister tells me a lot about it. A lot... Phew."

What the hell are you talking about...?

"On what business today?

"I'd like to apply for an A-rank promotion exam, haven't you heard the story? Oh, and this, a letter of introduction."

"Yes, I'm listening. I'll leave you a reference, too."

Mr. Nanary summarizes by making a statement on the tequila and the paperwork.

He's as good as Natalie.

"The process is complete. Please come back to the guild as the exam will take place at a later date"

Copy that.

Thus, I decided to take the A-rank promotion exam.

I don't know if I can pass safely...

Do everything you can to make sure you have no regrets.
