As I walked through town leaving church, the Cenanis came from across the street.

Exactly, by the time I met them, the burns on their faces had also disappeared.

"Ah, Master Rude."

That's what Alika said, and then Larfan comes along.

Plus beside them are Timeo and Drinkin.

"Five... what happened to Lillifer?"

"Lillifer wants to take the day off, so I left it at home."

Well, we adventurers can decide for ourselves when to work.

Though, it's unusual for her to put in the day off.

"Are you sick or something?"

"No, it's not like that. In the morning, once. We've looked at it for once, but there's nothing particularly wrong with it. Weren't you with the Fantims and wearing them in training?"

Right. Fantim uses the sword, and Charlier deals with the sickle.

Serving that opponent can be a good practice for a man-made demon opponent.

Maybe that's the part where Lillifer wants to get used to it.

As a senior, I might be tempted to take care of him.

With that in mind, Larfan sticks with me.

"What the fuck, Larfan?"

She loosened her face gladly when I reacted.

"Something about Sinanis being called to the guild, so we're like its guardians"

"Hey, what are you talking about, Larfan! I told Rude to shut up!"

Called? What the hell is wrong with an adventurer being summoned from his guild?

If there's nothing wrong here, I rarely get my hands on it from the other side.

For example, if you're a beginner adventurer, your guild actively asks how you're doing... because that's not enough to call an individual.

If so, even if there is something wrong......

"Sinanis, do you have any idea?"

"I don't have any..."

He's been roughing up his voice until earlier, but he's dropping his shoulders.

Larfan and Alika, who were watching it, talk to Hiccup.

"Sinanis is pretty weak at times like this"

It's true, isn't it?

"Ugh, you can't do that!"

Sinanis roughs up his voice and turns his fangs to both of them.

Looking at the three of them, Timeo and Drinkin talk.

"And I guess it's all the same"

"I don't know... Mr. Sinanis said he wouldn't even notice."

I wonder. I don't know either.

However, if you were having problems, you should apologize as a clan leader.

"I'm coming with you."

"... right"

Head to the Alliance with the cheerless Cenanis.

Entering the guild, it was busy with adventurers.

You're so familiar with adventurers and guilds.

When the adventurers notice me, they bow their heads in a panic.

No, you don't have to react like that.

I walk away laughing bitterly. Sinanis lined up in a row, a tense face.

Eventually, it becomes his turn. When I told the receptionist what was going on, he pulled back like he remembered.

It was Lilia who came out. Sinanis' cheeks caught on her appearance.

Many adventurers can be seen by Lilia, but many fear her strong attitude when dealing with her for a long time.

So did Sinanis, it seems.

He is swallowing his sauce and spit. Lilia looked at this one and then nodded as if she was convinced of something.

"Sinanis. This."

Lilia took out a piece of paper in a cold tone.

Sinanis receives it, then opens his eyes.

Lilia opened her mouth as I approached her worried, too.

"Request for A-rank promotion. I was wondering if you'd like to take it. Recently, I have received a lot of B-rank assignments. For once, it seems the Alliance is strong."

"... do you have that? Haven't you ranked it quite right so far?"

The achievement so far is the guide to the main rank decision.

Human beings diving all the way into the labyrinth were difficult to rank up and were often judged by the material they were selling as a special case of it.

Some adventurers abused it.

For example, getting along with an Alliance official and pretending to be selling material like every time, falsifying rank.

Sometimes there have been cases where the rank has been used to deceive beginner adventurers in the local Adventurer Alliance.

In the end, however, no specific action was taken on this.

... Some of the stories also said that some of the upper levels of the Alliance had been made up that way.

"Recently, the top of the guild has changed. Then, things are changing. In particular, adventurers of A-rank and above are also involved in the overall guild assessment, so it feels like doing what we call an exam here."

"... I see"

"Oh, and. Rude, Guild Card"

Get it out quick, and she'll move her hands so she can blame it.

I hand her my guild card as I twist my neck.

Lilia puts her guild card on the table at hand, then puts the demon stone Kakela on.

Seems appropriate, but Lilia is pretty good at this.

A light light was created when Lilia put her hands on the guild card. She brought the card back here.

Demon Stone Shards were added further.

5 total. B-rank adventurer.

"Because the system above has changed, that's all we can manage over here. However, in Rude's case, there seems to be a special case. It was a labyrinth attack."

"... oh, speaking of which, you did"

"The guild is also bulky with the replacement of people, and I'm finally putting together some information on that one now. Probably, but wouldn't it be an A or S rank? In the meantime, I responded because we talked about giving it up to B-rank."

Copy that.

"And then, because I think we need to talk about it sometime at Alliance headquarters. Ma, maybe I should be able to go when they call me in. As a clan leader, an easy to understand rank rating is good, right?"

Oh, sure.

This guild card is proof of strength for us adventurers at the same time as identification.

If you show this to the adventurer as it is, it will only help intimidate them. There used to be a play like that... an unappealable adventurer, actually in S-rank... like. I've been looking closely at it with Manichia. I don't really remember the content. Shagu Manicia was cute, about. And was there a rastard next door? Anyway, Manichia was cute.

"So can I ask you something about the promotion exam for Sinanis?"

"This is easy. Just ask for an A-rank equivalent and an Alliance official will accompany you as an Examiner. Sinanis asks you to carry out the attack with the members of your choice. And then Lilia makes an overall decision about whether or not to get promoted to A-rank."

"... I see. It's going to be hard this time because you're here."

Not all the Alliance employees who are capable of doing so.

"Sort of. It's just that there aren't that many adventurers themselves who can raise to A-rank. In some cases, the clan may also be asked to cooperate. And because Lilia and Lily are now headquartered too."

She makes pieces.

... when it comes to guild employees in headquarters. That's the admiration of the guild staff.

"Wow. Well, you have your own power."

"You can have a cake if you want to thank me"

I'll see you later.

At Lilia's same rate, bitterly smiling, she turns her gaze to Sinanis.

"So what? A-rank promotion exam is"

"... well, that's up to you!"

Sinanis solidified his fist much longer and Lilia nodded.

"Then... later"

"Hey, Lilia. Is it possible for me to accompany you?"

"Nothing's fine. Lily's going to take him, too. … Oh, can I have that on the move?"

"... you mean the Holy Dragon?"

"Yeah. Lily wanted to ride and shorten the trip. Because if I went by carriage or dragon car, it would take about a week. Isn't it possible for a saint dragon to take a day trip?"

In the requisition she's been showing me, I'll check the location.

Sacred dragons fly faster, and more importantly, they can travel in a straight line.

She's right, day trips may also be possible. As we were meeting specifically, the Alliance's door opened up in momentum.

After a moment of quiet, an adventurer rushing in screams.

"Oh, my God! The Devil's Sword has appeared!"

... The Devil's Sword that Schgor was talking about, he said!?

If anything happens to the people in town, oh my god...!
