After defeating tons of demons, a few dozen minutes later.

We were safely heading back to the city to the Alliance where we were asked to go.

"Something was over very quickly... but wouldn't you be suspicious..."

"You don't have to worry, you're definitely going to get suspicious, right?

Alma responded instantly to the worried Lurii.

Sure, there's a good chance he'll be suspicious.

That is why we are deliberately ranking the Kingdom of Jesus in friendly territory.

By now, the lord here will have told me that I am coming to the realm and that it is necessary to fight the Demons.

The guild of this country is not under the lord, so it won't be possible to have it ranked higher, but it reduces the likelihood of jamming it as much.

... while I was thinking about it, I arrived at the guild.

"That was pretty quick, wasn't it? There will be some interest, but liquidated damages will be allowed in instalments…"

When I saw my face entering the guild, the receptionist who accepted the request spoke to me.

Apparently, you're assuming I failed the request.

"I don't want a penalty. I've accomplished all my requests."

"Uh... you can't lie, can you? You must submit a Crusade Proof Site to achieve the request, so even if you come to the Alliance with your bare hands, you will definitely achieve…"

I see.

Apparently, they thought the request failed because I didn't have the crusade proof site in my hand.

"Is this it?

That said, I'll take the proper crusade proof site out of the storage magic and put it on the counter.

I don't get on the counter after giving out too many, so that's about three requests.

"This is... the Late Sizer crust! I can't believe you can defeat so many in a short time, Mr. Mathias. Maybe you're not really a rookie, you're a veteran adventurer?

"Not that I'm a veteran, but I was an adventurer in the Kingdom of Aces. That card also says the place of issue: the Kingdom of Eis"

That's what I'm referring to, my guild card.

On the back of the card it was written: 'Place of issue: Embassy Branch of the Kingdom of Alliance Ais of the Radinian Union'.

"Oh, it's true. That's unusual!... With this strength, surely that number of requests could be handled by the deadline too!

"Instead, I've already worked it out."

"You said you could handle it... you didn't just say this, you defeated all the requested demons!?

"Oh.... I think we should settle one at a time because the counter is another"

With that said, I'll take the proper crusade proof site out of the storage magic again.

But what the receptionist noted was a different part from the crusade proof site.

"... where did you get it out now?

Storage magic, though.

I've seen this flow somewhere before.

- Oh. When we started entering the labyrinth, the Adventurer Guild?

You can somehow predict the reaction after this.

"Storage magic!?

Yeah.

That's the same reaction you had when you were in the Alliance of the Kingdom of Aces.

The explanation is cumbersome, so the next time I go to another guild, I'll take my stuff out beforehand before I take it.

Then, a few minutes later.

We managed to get past the question about storage magic, and we were back to the original topic.

"Uh... all crusade requests are accomplished. Can the client accomplish four things: Mr. Mathias, Mr. Iris, Mr. Alma and Mr. Lulii?

"Does that increase the rank for everyone?

"Yes, a party of up to six will accumulate all the points you need to rank up."

"Well, then, please"

Apparently, you don't have to accomplish the request for the number of people.

Save yourself the trouble and don't help.

"Okay. Wait a minute, please."

That's how the receptionist pulls our cards into the back of the guild.

A little while later the receptionist brought it in a different color than before.

It used to look black, but now it's blue.

"You all met the promotion criteria for the E-rank because you would have achieved ten requests for the G-Rank and fifteen requests for the F-Rank in a row. You don't need an exam to get an E-rank promotion, so you're promoted like this!

That's how the receptionist gives us our new guild card.

Apparently, the color of the guild card changes when the rank changes.

"This, by the way, is the shortest promotion Dantoz has ever made! Normally, it takes a month no matter how soon..."

Will it take you a month just to accomplish 25 requests......

Well, G-rank and F-rank are probably beginners' ranks, so it's something that goes up while practicing.

It would be a special case for you to come from another country and increase your rank at once.

"By the way, getting up to the E rank means you can get a request to the D rank, right? If any of the demons I just defeated have a D-rank or something, can I submit that crusade proof site?

"Well, you can't say it's material from a request that's not out now, or a demon that you've defeated elsewhere, but otherwise, you'll be treated as if you've accomplished the request right away."

"How do we tell what demons we've defeated elsewhere?

"You know, the freshness of the material. Because if you carry the material far away, it will get old after all. … so if it's someone with fast legs, it seems that some people will bring it to other guilds."

Freshness.

Using time stopping storage magic, you can cheat all you want.

Well, this time it's the real thing, the demon I knocked down in the woods nearby.

"Okay. Well, that sounds..."

That said, I look for material that looks about D-rank among the materials in my hand.

The only demons I just looked into are those that were in the request I received, so I don't know what demons are the subject of the D-rank request, but you can look for them that look like from the requisition.

With that in mind, I look at the D-rank requisition.

The first thing that caught my eye was a crusade request for 'Otsuno Turtle'.

The number of crusades required is three.

From the name 'Otsuno Turtle' would be a big, horny turtle.

There were two kinds of tortoises with horns, but they're probably the bigger ones.

There were only three larger tortoises, but I can accomplish the critical request.

"First of all, you're asking for a crusade for the Otsuno Turtle. Crusade Proof Site, corner, okay?

We haven't looked into the crusade proof area of the Otsuno Turtle, but in the case of a demon with horns, the crusade proof area is basically a horn.

I hope that fits......

"Yes, it fits in the corner."

"Well, now, please"

That's why I took out the big turtle horn.

The tortoise you knocked down was about five meters long, but the corner itself is less than a meter long.

Big is big, but the insight was the strength of the feeling of a turtle, so it's hard to think of this as a D-rank... If it's available for ranking, let me use it.

By the way, the smaller tortoise was even weaker than this.

"What... isn't this a little too big?

"... it's an otuno turtle, isn't it a big one?

"No, it's usually about this size..."

That said, the receptionist spread her hand about 30 centimeters wide.

When it comes to 30 cm......

"Is this it?

That's what I said. I took out the little turtle horns.

"Yes! That's it! I have ten requests for otuno turtles, how many do you have?

Apparently, it fit with the smaller tortoise.

There are a lot of small tortoise horns, but is it ok that I have set this D-rank?

Isn't that a setup error?

"Thirty for ten."

"Thirty!? How did you take him down so much?!?

"I don't care how you ask me."

That reminds me of the battle.

But I wasn't very impressed with the turtle.

"Normally slashed with a sword..."

"Shooting through with a bow..."

"You blew it with a spear. I don't remember what I defeated because I was just swinging my spear appropriately..."

Apparently, the other three have similar feelings.

Or, Iris, didn't you even discern the enemy?

"Normally, I don't think that's the hardness I can defeat..."

Listen to us, the receptionist squeals like that.

"Speaking of which, it could have been a little stiff. I tried to shoot three together with an arrow, and the second one stopped me."

"Ah. I could have felt a little stiff when I did slash him with my sword"

"Really? It was normal..."

When I hear the demon is stiff, I nod like two other people besides Illis were a little convinced.

Sure, maybe it was just a little stiff.

That is so......

"So what horn is this?

That said, I'm referring to a corner that got started because it was too big.

"Uh... Could this horn be the one taken from a demon that feels like it's tripled the size of an otuno turtle?

"Oh. It could have been a little bigger, but that's roughly it."

"... that's a b-rank demon fujitsuno turtle! How the hell did you take him down!?

"I just approached him and appropriately fired a sword at him."

That turtle... B-rank?

There's a demon that's just stiff and doesn't have a particularly strong attack capability?

With that in mind, a receptionist with a frightened face asked me.

"I've heard rumors that there are a lot of students in the kingdom of Ace who look like monsters, but maybe that student...?

Who, the one who spreads such rumors?

As I search for the killer in my heart, the receptionist tells me as if she remembered.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the material! Materials from Huge Tuno Turtle!

"Here it is."

That's what I'm saying. I'm pointing at the corner.

"It's not, it's non-horn material!

"I've thrown it away.... Could it be that other than the corners are crusade proof sites?

Storage magic is the magic of storing luggage in exchange for a maximum of magic.

I want to keep the amount of storage to a minimum, even though the maximum value will revert if I take out the luggage I put in.

That's why I've thrown everything away except the crusade proof site.

"No, the crusade proof site is a corner... what a waste..."

"If you want, you can collect it separately. It must be falling around here."

That said, I magically map the paper I had on hand and check it around the time I defeated the demon.

"What, is that magic now!? Just paper on the map!

"Description From there..."

Despite repeated derailments in this way, the report of the request proceeded.

And roughly an hour later.

"Now you've achieved your 100th C-rank request!... so Mathias and the others qualified for the B-rank promotion exam! Wow! Oh, by the way, it's the shortest record, needless to say!

The receptionist screamed in a bad mood, and we qualified for the B-rank promotion exam and the do-it-yourself exam.

Apparently, they need exams first from the B rank.

"What do B-rank promotion exams do?

"... did you qualify for the exam without even knowing that!?

"Oh."

"Uh... B-rank promotion exams are, in short, exams that accomplish requests accompanied by exam supervisors. Ordinary requests can be cleared at parties, so there are people who don't have the strength to do it every once in a while, but get a higher rank. Beyond the B rank, there will be more requests from countries and other levels involved, so people who don't have the strength will be tested to avoid the B rank."

"... I see. Where can I take my exams?

"Eh, only a large branch is running the B-rank promotion exam...... the nearest is the heart city of Fredia territory, the Frigia branch!

… the central city of Fredia territory.

It seems easy to talk about, which is convenient.

"Okay. Well, let's go up the ranks."

"Yes!"
