"Hello, Mr. Shroud"

I visited the Adventurer's Guild in Wangdu.

Mr. Nanary greets me with a smile.

But soon its face will cloud.

Keep your head down.

"I am truly sorry for this incident. It's not just about misapprehending Mr. Shroud, but then he points the blade at him...... you may have no choice but to put it into words, but our guild, and our adventurers, reflect deeply. Later, I will officially apologize from my guild master."

"Uh... don't worry so much about me. It's not Mr. Nanally's fault..."

"No, that's not how it works. I am also responsible for more than being a member of the Alliance. We will do everything we can."

"Then I'm glad you don't care too much. Because the bad news is Arios, and if I tell you, everyone else is a victim"

"... you're really sweet, Mr. Shroud. It's who my sister said it was. Whoa, this was a secret."

Me, what are they saying...?

"Oh, wait a minute."

Did it include a surprise dialogue?

"Didn't Mr. Nanary say Guildmaster, or something...?

"Ah, yes. Exactly."

"... why?

"Eh, I'm confused too... in an earlier case, the upper management, including the previous Alliance Master, was taken responsibility and resigned... and for some reason, I was nominated..."

That's what Mr. Nanally says with a troubled face.

Surprised.

I can't believe the aftermath of that incident appeared in this way...

But you might rely on Mr. Nanary being an Alliance Master.

Because you're someone who can work.

"So...... as a guild I'm going to do anything, so don't hesitate to say anything if there's anything"

"Uh... okay. Then I'll make it sweet."

"First, take a rest. There are plenty of tourist facilities like that in Wangdu, so I think you can relax. Of course, the cost will be here. At least as an apology..."

"I'll let you do that. So, what's the errand that called me in?

Mr. Nanalee told me something important and I visited the Alliance.

"Oh, yes, I did. I did. By accident, I almost forgot. If you forget it's a very important story, I'm going to get really pissed off."

Much like Natalie...

Is there something slightly inadvertent about it?

"Mr. Shroud, do you have an adventurer card?

"I have it."

Natalie has told me that I should not lose sight of my skin, so I try to carry it with me except when I sleep and when I bathe.

"So could you lend me that one?

"Give me your card? Uh... yes, go ahead"

I gave Mr. Nanary the Adventurer card as he told me.

Then, Mr. Nanary holds a magic pen.

It's a special magic trick called writing letters with magic.

I used it and wrote something down on my adventurer card.

"Okay, that's it. Yes, go ahead."

Receive the Adventurer card from Mr. Nanally.

That card stated… 'A-rank'.

"This is..."

"Congratulations, Mr. Shroud. Mr. Shroud's promotion to A-rank has been granted."

Titty, and Nanary smiled and applauded.

"The results of the promotion exam are particularly problem-free. Besides, Dear Valiant......, the credit for uncovering the plot of the rebel Arios Orlando to bring the case to a close is so great. So Mr. Shroud's A-rank promotion was unanimously granted. I don't think this will be enough to apologize..."

"Oh well... Really?"

To tell the truth...

I completely forgot about the promotion exam.

Haunted by the Arios trap...

I'll be separated from everyone...

Sarya, I need your help...

Really, it was a dense day.

It's so dense, what happened before the incident... I completely forgot about the promotion exam.

But... well.

Me, could I be promoted to A-rank?

I have a strange nostalgia for when I became an adventurer and started with the F-rank.

Like years ago, I feel like a long time ago.

Meet Canade.

Meet Tania.

Meet Sola and Luna.

Meet Nina.

Meet Tina.

I was blessed with an important companion.

Therefore, I think I was able to run through to this point now.

I'm hooked on the Arios trap, and for a time, I know perfectly well that my people matter because I was separated from everyone.

Again...... thanks.

For starters, I crushed it in my heart.

Speak directly, again later.

By the way, I'm acting differently from everyone right now.

Everyone was now undergoing a health test.

For a week, I was put in jail...

Besides, they had magic locks on them.

It's not strange if it's harmful to your health.

So I asked Sarya to take a medical exam.

Sarya took it on with pleasure.

Appreciate it.

I mean, Sarya's just helping me, me.

They're princesses, but that doesn't matter...

I wanted to thank you for something soon.

What can I do to please you, Sarya?

"Mr. Shroud? What's the matter, sir? I think I'm confused."

"Ah...... sorry. I've been thinking a lot."

"Heh heh, you can't help it either. Because from what I've heard, it seems like a lot really happened. Just listen to me right now, okay? Even though I'll send you the materials later, it won't hurt to hear about A-rank adventurers."

"I know. I don't get confused anymore, I ask properly"

"Yes, please. First, then, is the authority of the A-rank Adventurer..."

Then, after about half an hour of explaining Nanary...

I left my guild behind.

――――――――――

The next day.

When I went to a room in the royal castle, I saw everyone.

The health check was done in Royal Castle...

It was late at night when it was over, and they stayed in the castle as it was.

I've been staying at the castle lately without taking care of Sarya...

Of course, the room is separate from everyone else's, so it will be the first reunion of the day.

Because even after the case was solved, I was too busy to talk properly...

It's been a while since I've been able to talk to you slowly.

"Ah... Rain."

Little Nina noticed this way, and she hugged me, poof.

I'll hold Nina tight and stroke her head.

"How was it, what about a health test?

"Hmm... I'm fine... right? Problem...... None. Ahem."

For some reason, it makes Nina look like she's good at it.

Lately, I felt like I was being influenced by Luna.

"Oh well. I hope it's not a problem..."

Nina became an adult with the mysterious power of 'Awakening'...

Immediately after that battle, I went back to where I was.

Under what conditions did you become an adult?

Why did you go back to what you were?

Various parts are mysterious.

He doesn't know anything about Luna, either, and he can't tell if it's harmful to his body.

So I was most worried about Nina in this health test...

Glad it doesn't seem to be a problem.

"What about everyone else? Everything all right?

"Ugh... Rayne, I can't do this anymore... it turns out I have the incurable disease 'If I don't eat something sweet, I'll die'. Get the cake now... or you can cookie?

"Don't worry, Luna's fine enough to say the usual shit like this. Oh, of course, Sola's fine."

The twins were as usual.

Really as usual, so at the same time I'm relieved, I'm starting to laugh a little bit.

"We don't have a problem! Even so, we're not ill from ghosts."

"Sure, it may be, but you might have a mental illness, right? Are you okay with this?

"I'm fine. We have a thick heart. There's no such thing as a sickness."

"Yeah. Glad you look good"

Tina was rarely moving when she did the doll's body, as she appealed to the healthy.

I know you're fine, so I want you to calm down a little.

Though the doll, if it moves boldly like that... it's going to look like a lot.

"What about Canade and Tania?

"Nyah. I don't have a problem either. Full of energy, full of stomach!

"You've been eating bread for a mountain in the morning. You eat so much so often... you don't even know if you're fat, do you?

"Wha!? I get fat... I'm fine because I'm moving my body a lot."

"Really? Don't you pinch the flank here? This knob cat."

"A knob cat!?

Apparently, they're both fine.

Full of smiles and looking happy and healthy.

Now I can know who has no problem with one.

Relieved.

What if something happened to everyone...

Arios... and I'm not going to be able to forgive myself.

"By the way, what was Rayne doing?

"Oh, yeah. Will you listen to me? In fact, in the Adventurer Guild…"

I told everyone I could be promoted to A-rank...

Plus, we talked about a lot of things.

We talked a lot so as to fill the time that had been pulled away.

It's so warm...

It was a sweet time.

"... yeah?

How much would I have told you?

After a while, the concon and the door were knocked.

"Excuse me."

Slightly, the door opened and Sarya showed herself.

"Excuse me while I talk to you. Mr. Rain, do you have a moment right now?

"Uh... yes. Yes, but what?

"My father... wants the king to talk to Mr. Rain"
