We were on our way to Regiata, the halfway point between Bailanaea and the king's capital Regalia.

Buildings are a city with many ancient and historic feelings. With that said, Tsar said he picked up Lara around here.

Betty peeked into her face as she secured the inn and the pouch began to sleep well and turned into a pouch pillow, removing the compartment between the bed and the bed.

Yes, we were unlucky and only had one room available.

Betty and I have been in the wild a few times, but this is the only room we can talk about.

So much so that I thought I'd teach Porch the magic formula and sleep in the storeroom.

"Hey, Azli? Are you excited to sleep with your sister?"

"There's no reason! It's early tomorrow, so get some sleep. That's what I'm trying to say, mountains, but I just wanted to ask you one thing."

"Hehe, I need to talk to you too, so I peeked. So, what's Azley talking about?

I was about to lie down. I woke up and I sat on my bed.

Betty also folds a snake-bellied compartment and sits on the bed.

"Haven't you heard from Brutes and Blazer? What will you do with the rank S promotion review?"

"Oh, about that. I'm listening. I was just about to talk to you about that."

"What do you mean, Betty's talking about something else?"

Betty continues to snort.

"The rank s promotion review will be assigned to each person in charge. I don't know exactly how to judge you because you said the officer in charge would decide on the spot, but it's more like seeing the lowest level of strength than seeing our strength. If that number is above the threshold, if it passes, if it's below the threshold, then it doesn't pass."

"Minimum Strength…… well, that's why you're moving so fast"

"Well, you're probably going to cut your strength. Of course, this will not cut our strength, and there may be some kind of trial after we go to the king's capital, Regalia."

"I see... then would it be less likely to be selected for lack of strength? Thank you, thank you."

"Azley's magic made it so easy for me to come. It's good to see you, too."

No, I'm no match for Betty, who's still going through all these years.

I was helped by various things on the road. He said he took one way to hide it. One experience changes how you do monsters. I would have arrived at Regiata later if it had been meant to be, but I can tell you that thanks to Betty I could have gotten here sooner.

Of course, it's because of the all-up magic, but including that doesn't change the awesomeness of Betty.

When I put my arms together and looked at Betty again, I turned away a little bit of the smell.

This is not good. So I shook my head (wearing it) and tried to get back to it.

"Oh, so, what are you talking about Betty?

"Oh well... Azley, when Regiata arrived, you said, 'I met these silver people', right?

Yeah, I do think I said that.

Sometimes I didn't have time to tell everyone about silver, but I finally remembered it when I got to this city.

"I did say it, but I went to someone else right away... so maybe you're right that I got through"

"In it... the red-haired woman warrior... was there?

Red hair...... was there such a person.

Sure, there was a female warrior at the beginning, but I can't give you an answer if you asked me if I had red hair.

"There he is, red-haired warrior."

My thoughts were approximate, and I heard a reply from behind affirming Betty's question.

"Really, Porch?

"What, are you awake? I thought you fell asleep."

"Yes, because the master didn't make it easy for me, too. I wasn't that tired."

My face skews a little on Porch's little irony.

It's mellow, it's usually "light! ♪ Or so you say!

As she stretched her poached cheeks with that in mind, Betty looked more mysterious and thought of something.

Silver red-haired warrior............ you mean Betty has something too?

They were rivals because they were women, or something like that? No, this face doesn't seem that easy.

Is this Betty's problem? I think so. We decided to cut to the chase. Betty has always been a serious face... hopefully it won't affect the promotion review...

The next morning, I learned that I was worried about that.

"Come on, we'll be in the king's capital, Regalia, in the twenty-fourth day tomorrow! Both of you, get in the mood!

You look better than usual, huh?

Apparently, you're all right. Me and Porch laugh dullly at each other.

And when I started running again from the North Gate of the city of Regiata, I received the magic of reading and contacting from Lina.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

'... okay, I'll do a little research on mine, too. Thank you, Lina.'

'That's not true. Uh, but I'm glad.'

By the way, I hear a cowardly, sweet voice. Lina really makes me realize that I'm a woman these days.

I remember that smile by grabbing the silver key necklace that Lina chose for me.

"Well, bye."

'Oh, yes! Good luck with the review!

"Thank you"

Where Lina's encouragement came in, I undone the speed.

Thank you. Don't let your body move slowly while you're using the magic of reading and contacting.

I'm well aware of the difficulty of parallel work between nerves and nerves, but I figured I should be training these things too.

Do you want to practice next time with Porch?

Porch and Betty, who understood that the conversation at the reading was over, also speed me up again and gave me back my courtesy of "never mind".

What Lina told me...... Raid Cobolt mutation.

Is it possible that a monster equivalent to Rank C will be enhanced? But Brutes and Blazer actually decided that.

Sure, it would change somewhat if it was magically fortified, but then I can't explain the kind of black vapor that was erupting.

Black steam...... you still have a strong magical element. That's horrible magic, too.

Is that still black magic? Or something more ritual than witchcraft. Do you want to find out more when you get home?

Then we reached the hill where we could see the king's capital, Regalia, without slowing down.

Countless spires that grow in giant royal castles just like the other day I saw them. They say the warrior emperor Verse lives in the central tower, but now, what is Merqui doing?

Why don't we put in a little exploration after the promotion review?

From there he ran for about thirty minutes, and when he reached the gates of Regalia, the time was eighteen o'clock.

It is only said to be the boulder king capital. Every district has countless people walking more than the commercial district of Bailanaea.

The building also ranged from old to new with lots of decorations, all of which surprised me and Porch.

Oh, there's also a Gaston magic prop store. I looked inside with a stream, but there seems to be a lot of people in and out of the boulder.

But……… the disparities in the city are even greater than that. The alley behind the city, which looks brilliant at first sight, is still visible to vagabonds and people who are dangerous because they see it.

Betty's the same in all this.

I'm on my way to the Legalia Adventurer Guild in the promotion review report, but you'll give me the information I need straight away.

Makes me want to say it again and again...... It's a boulder king's capital, if the city's too big for you to come alone, you'll get lost. Might be worse than exploring the labyrinth.

Around nineteen o'clock we reached the Legalian Adventurer's Guild.

It is famous among adventurers when it comes to the Legalian Adventurer Guild. Whatever you say, it's the best guild in the country, a sanctuary of adventurers with arms pride from all over. There will inevitably be strong ones.

We opened the Alliance door and went inside.

In the tingling air, Betty headed to the counter as if to recieve it.

Porch follows my cloak from behind in fright.

After all, the number and quality of adventurers are not comparable to Bailanaea. It is true that the overall level of Bailanaea adventurers has improved in the last two years, but Regalia is easily on top of it. If you say it only by strength, is it the average rank B?

Hmm, get your attention because of your mind... are you there?

Oh, is Betty the one who's getting noticed? Speaking of which, I guess silver is familiar even in Regalia because it was moving all over the place.

At the counter, a beautiful blonde with an eyelid was at reception. Is he a former adventurer? I have a scratch on my neck, and I'm retiring early to work in the guild.

"I'm here for a promotion review, from Bailanaea."

"Me, too."

Me and Betty gave Duncan the notice we got, and the neighborhood went all the way around.

"Seriously, the Betty one was already rank A when he came here a few years ago, right?

"Is that a promotion review to Rank S?

"Definitely................ who's the guy next door?

"He's like a promotion judge, too, huh?

"Dude, you're still a kid. You still can't do that, can you?

I heard that voice. Kid...? Right, I admit I'm still inexperienced.

"Master Master!

Ignore it. Ignore it. Porch doesn't always say a lot of things at times like this.

Last time I was breathed in my ear, let's keep my ear guarded this time.

"They say you're still young! I'll do my best to make youngsters too -!

…………

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The lady at the Adventurer's Guild told me where to go next, and we took the lodging.

I arrived a day early, and he seemed surprised. He then rested slowly and woke up a little early the next day for breakfast.

We talked about the promotion review starting after noon, so we carefully woke up and played a simple game with Betty and killed time.

Having a light meal, we were able to come to the promotion review in full swing.

And close to the time of the promotion review, Betty got a promotion review somewhere else, so we broke up again with the promise to rendezvous later.

- March 25, 1944, 15: 00 p.m. -

in the northeast district of the Wang capital Regalia. We..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Wait............... Porch, where am I?

"Come on, you won't even consider it!

Lost.
