"... are you there?

"Yes. I think there were a few of them.... Famous adventurers are so easy to fake. I'll find out right away, though. Among them, Mr. Mathias is popular."

"Popular......?

"I don't really come out in public, so few people know my face. About five more, I think there were fakers... but they probably all found out, so it's okay."

I see......

I'm an E-rank adventurer, but you still get fakes.

Well, if you're gonna find out soon, it's fine.

"By the way, how do you distinguish a phony?

"Uh... all the phonies are normal people, so you'll see soon enough!

"... normal people?

"Yes! Avoid dangerous requests, care about money...... it's normal anyway! The principal of the second school has informed me, 'If a commonsense man shows up to name Matthias, he's a phony'!

... Common sense guy, fake...?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Is that how you can tell?

With that in mind, Alma and Lurii squeaked smugly.

"That's a good way to tell..."

"... it doesn't seem like the first thing to do is to get the person wrong..."

Apparently, the two of them agree with that discernment law.

I thought this party would be better served by a good convergence of opinions... but unexpectedly, there's been a disagreement.

"... you're a common sense guy, aren't you?

"I was actually wondering, until just now, if that's what it is. I was wondering if I would ever catch the real Matthias by mistake..."

"Oh. That worry is right"

"No, I was wrong.... Normal people can't carry all the citations, crusade proof sites that defeated 700 demons in one day. Plus... this is the crusade proof site!

That said, the receptionist took out the crusade proof site - some sort of demonic horn.

This time around the corner is nicely cut to keep the luggage as small as possible.

Normally, I would cut it out into bigger messes... but this time the amount of luggage was tighter.

"What's wrong with that crusade proof site?... If you're hunting with a lot of luggage, it's natural to take it home in the smallest possible form, right?

"Uh, the size itself is... look at this cross section! This isn't human business!

The receptionist showed me a section with the corners cut out and said so.

... This horn was cut out with a sword made by Lurii.

Lurii's made sword has a different level of cleavage than a normal sword.

So when you treat it well, it makes the cross section so beautiful.

The receptionist must be saying that.

Well, okay.

The truth is, it's a cross section made thanks to the weapon, more than my arm... but I just explained it, and it's not going to make sense to me.

Let's say we get to the request fulfillment process.

"... can that horn be used as a crusade proof site?

"Also, of course you can use it! Because it's no more proof!

Apparently, the crusade proof site will be played.

It would have been a hassle if they had mistaken me for the demon I defeated in "Genesis," so I'm lucky.

"Okay. Then ask for the process of accomplishment"

"Wah... ok! Keep the material out on the counter more and more as you store it while counting!

"Oh."

That said, I'm building up more and more crusade proof sites on the counter.

The receptionist, counting it from one end, notes the number and packs it in a box.

Such work will continue for some time….

"This is the last time.... Enough requests?

Less than an hour later, I finally lost the crusade proof site I brought.

The problem is number.

When I defeat demons, I don't count how many I defeated.

Or... at that time, 'Mira of War moves' was also in the fight, so I couldn't count it.

I hope it's enough.

That's what the receptionist said.

"Totals, done! With 320 E-Rank Demons and 862 D-Rank Demons...... Reward is 240,000 Elmi, C-Rank Promotion Criteria, Complete!

... Apparently, you've had enough.

Now I seem to be able to rank up safely.

"Uh... wait a minute. How far does this go in rank......?
