"No, thanks for this time. I never thought that many orcs would hit me."

When we arrived safely in the town of Togai, the leader of the merchant army told us that, while he wrote the paperwork to complete the request.

"No, I don't think so."

"I'm not in good shape!

It's always a sight for Mina to embarrass you, Gyro.

"Then let's go to the Adventurer Alliance and report on the achievement of the request."

"Oops! It's been a long time since you've had a guild here either!

"Well, it's been a long time."

Yeah, because this is where we started.

I feel a little nostalgic, even though it wasn't so long ago.

"You're going to the guild where Mr. Rex was active."

"Yeah, they're all good people!

"There must have been a lot of people swinging around."

and Mr. Liliera sighed, but what the hell does that mean?

Coming to the Adventurer Guild in Town of Toguy for the first time in a long time, it was incredibly busy inside.

"Wow, that's so crowded."

"What is this, not like the guild of the king's capital when it's crowded!? Even the guild of Hekiji town has never been so crowded!?"

Mr. Liliera was right, some of the guilds were so crowded that it was difficult to walk.

"Hmm, this sounds like you should slouch your time"

"Well, not very much, but I don't think I can go to a desk like this."

"Well, let's take the inn first"

We decided to take the Inn once, after the Adventurer Alliance, because we were all in agreement.

And when I shift time and come back to the Adventurer Guild again...

"There aren't many people at this hour on the boulder... I don't think so."

We slammed time and came to the Adventurer Alliance again, but it still remained crowded in the Alliance.

Nevertheless, I still wonder if it's better than just now.

"One, the next... Huh"

Elma, the receptionist, is dealing with adventurers who are waiting in order because they look tired.

Looks like you're busy like that.

"Nevertheless, you can't stay out of line"

But we'll be in line, too.

"Damn, I lost -!"

Behind me, Gyro, you are so full of regrets.

Apparently, Gyro, you've decided who to line up with.

Well, because I got a job at a party, it doesn't mean we're all in line.

After a while, my turn will come.

"Next..."

"Sorry, I'm here to report completion of the request -"

This is Elma, my contact person.

I haven't seen him in a long time, but he seems kind of tired.

"Yes... Then let me check the paperwork."

Ms. Elma confirms the contents of the document when she receives it with a yo-yo-yo hand.

"Yes, I checked the client's signature. Ah. Rex in S-rank accomplished the request......?

And that's where Mr. Elma slowly looks up.

"Long time no see"

……

But Mr. Elma stays perfectly still.

"Mr. Elma?

"Les..."

"Les?"

"Mr. Rex, whack!?"

All of a sudden I turn to Elma, who shouted out loud, and the people in the guild say something.

"Hey, why not!?"

"No, I came all the way to this town on a request."

"Yes, please!?"

"Yes. Nevertheless, you've had a lot more people while you were away. Is something wrong?

Could it have been found a medicinal herb that would be money or even a rare demon?

"Hey, you know what..."

Mr. Elma stares at me with trembling crocodiles.

Oh, that? Did I say something to piss Mr. Elma off?

"Well, it must be decided because Mr. Rex was promoted to S-rank."

"Yes!? My fault!?"

What the hell is going on?

"S-Rank!?"

"Who!?"

When I hear Mr. Elma scream, the adventurers around me start to blur.

"You mean that kid you're talking to, Mr. Elma?

"No, you, there's no way a kid like that could be an S-rank."

"That's right."

Wow, it's getting kind of noisy in the guild.

Perhaps we should withdraw this as soon as we get paid.

"Whoa!? You're a dragon boy! Long time no see!

In the meantime, the man who spoke to me was an adventurer who taught me all sorts of things when I first came to the Adventurer Guild.

"Oh, it's been a while"

"Oh, I'm glad you remembered 10,000 years of C-rank like me."

"I remember you well because you taught me a lot when I first came to the Adventurers Guild"

"Ha ha, you're as humble as ever when you get promoted to S-rank!

'Cause he's still immature.'

Talking to a familiar adventurer I haven't seen in a long time, the other adventurers speak up.

"Oh, he's really a dragon boy! I hear you're doing it flashy in Wang Du!

"Yo, Dragon Boy. Your rumors have reached this town!

"Huh? Are you sure?!?"

It's kind of embarrassing. I hope the other adventurers didn't have bad feelings because they didn't even do a lot of work but they got S-ranked.

"That's the real big eater... you really are a kid"

"You weren't talking about the old ladies of ancient ginseng."

"He said he hunted the dragon on the first day of his adventurer registration..."

"And the next day, you crusaded the Evilborough herd, didn't you?

"I heard you crusaded demons in the demon world."

"He was afraid that all the trees in the woods would be plant demons, and he made his way to the Warcraft Forest, wasn't he?"

If you notice, the adventurers around you are looking at me and saying something far-fetched.

"" "" I'm afraid the other way around that it just looks like a normal kid no matter how you look... ""

"Mr. Rex......"

Liliera looks at me like she's stunned. [M]

"No, really, it's not a big deal. Because if I noticed anything, I'd just be weirdly overrated!

I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I think the adventurers think things are too positive.

The demons I defeated were usually like the ones I defeated in my previous life.

"Well, it's good, but is it better to leave people here alone than that?

"Huh?"

That said, Mr. Liliera points to the receptionist.

There was Mr. Elma staring in tears as he shuddered with a pull.

"I'm in the middle of a reception, are we done talking...?

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Oh, that? Is this how I apologize?

"Yes, then this is the reward for the escort"

Mr. Elma leaves Hoppetta puffy and bloated, offering him a reward.

"Oh, thank you. And this is a letter from the Adventurer's Guild of the King's Capital asking you to give it to this guild leader."

"Are you on our guild leader? Ok. I'll give it to you right away."

That said, Mr. Elma tells him to stop the officials passing through the vicinity and give a letter to the guild chief.

Phew, that's half done with the Guild Manager's nomination request.

All you have to do is ask the guild chief over here to write back a letter and deliver it to the guild chief in King's Capital and the request is complete!

"By the way, what do you mean because I was promoted to S-rank earlier?

Well, I was curious about what Elma said earlier, and I asked him what he meant by that...

"Huh!..."

The moment I hear the word, there is once again a swordswallowing light in Mr. Elma's eyes.

"Ah, no. If you don't want to tell me, fine."

"No, Mr. Rex would love to hear it."

Shit, it was a snake!?

"Heh heh... S-rank is a special title for adventurers."

"Special...?

Well, I guess I'm convinced of that too because it's the highest rank among adventurers.

Well, I'm a little sorry because I got overrated and S-ranked.

"That's why. The adventurers and adventurers of the world sometimes come together in the guild of the S-rank adventurers who want to impress such adventurers."

"Huh? But then you're coming to the King's Adventurer's Guild. Then what?

Because I've been promoted to S-rank, and now I'm the base of activity, is the Adventurer Guild of the Wang Capital.

"That's where it is. Because the Wang capital has many powerful people, and many have high levels of requests. So the size of the S-ranked adventurer is to open up to the first guild he signed up for."

Uh, what's that?

Even if it does, I feel like I'm falling for it.

"Nevertheless, there is no reason to have a big job in such a one-country town. As you can see, we are now in a state of takeover of requests, and all that remains is cheap permanent requests. Those people will be out of money and moving to other towns in a while. Until then, patience."

It's temporary.

"And you're used to dealing with it"

"Yeah well. It's good to have more adventurers than B rank. If you ask me, it's like taking charge of a gen."

I see it's like coming to the temple or sanctuary.

The adventurer is a meritocratic world that does its job on its own, so I wonder if that means taking on the edge for it.

But when this happens, I also nod. [M]

I'm kind of sorry.

And that was the time.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the guild.

"What's going on?

Apparently, the noise is happening at the entrance to the Alliance.

Besides, I feel like the noise is getting closer this way...

"Hey, Elma, you got a minute?

What showed up there was a knight dressed fine.

"Is that it?"

Strangely enough, I felt like I knew this guy.

But that's funny, I don't think I know any knights in my life right now.

"I need to talk to the guild leader for a second... is that it? You..."

But this voice still sounds familiar.

"Oh, I knew it was Lex! Long time no see!

"Also, could it be Aug......?

"Oh, yeah! Your trusted former senior adventurer, Mr. Aug!

I knew it! It was kind of so refreshing and beautifully dressed, I didn't know for a second!

"What, ex?

What does that mean?

"Oh, now he's retired as an adventurer and a knight! From now on, call me Knight Org!

Knight? Mr. Org is the Knight!? That's why he looks so sappy!?

"'Cause knights no, no, no, no!?"

Hey, hey!? Isn't this a bigger case than what I've become S-ranked!?
