The success of the Demon King's Crusade was conveyed and the King's Capital became a festival.
The faces of brave parties, including brave men, are also glued to consecutive nights, celebrations and consolations.
Naturally, it is also rewarded by the royal family.
Though a step ahead of the brave, we were given lots of titles and medals besides the brave.
From now on, the brave man is His Excellency the Count.
Me, the warrior, the healer became the Viscount. Together, it's just a title where you get a pension without territory.
But the royal nobles attach great importance to the title. That it was given means nothing more than recognition of merit.
I was glad that the greats tried to reward us for our hardships, more than the title itself.
The Adventurer Alliance gave him the S-rank title.
It is the first title revived in roughly 200 years to give to a brave party.
Usually there is only from F-rank to A-rank.
The S-Rank title is the highest prize the Alliance has ever prepared.
I had a knee ache and smiled at an event I couldn't count.
When I was able to return home, a week had passed since the triumph of Wang Du.
Three days after returning home, a warrior Luca came to visit me at home.
"Al, are you still grubbing?
"Rest is important"
I was pulling myself home three days after I got home.
A long journey filled with the ordeal of the Demon King's Crusade. various festivals after return. For me, nearly forty years, it was very tough.
Rest is a natural right, no, it can be considered an obligation.
Yet Luca tells me as if she was frightened.
"Cruz, you took Ulina this morning to crusade the demons, didn't you?
"I'm not like youngsters like you."
"Haha, what's that, old man"
"What the hell. I'm an old man."
All brave parties are young. Everyone but me is a teenager.
Brave Cruz and healer Yulina are fifteen years old.
The warrior Luca is seventeen years old.
"Whatever I am, old man, don't you have to work?
When I said that, Luca laughed.
"I went to college yesterday to work."
Speaking of which, Luca is a warrior and a brilliant scholar. I guess I've also given special lectures in that relationship.
I remember that the specialty was the study of divine script and warcraft.
Seventeen years old, but excellent.
"Right. I'm sorry about that."
Luca approached me once.
"Hmm. What do you think?
Touched my knee and began to observe.
"It hurts, but it's not unbearable"
"Liar. You were pretty much impossible to celebrate or something."
Luca is still sharp. That's the scholar.
"I'm not lying. The celebration. On your knees or standing still. It was tough, though. The more you sit down, the more it just hurts."
That's what I said in my mouth, but it hurts especially today because of the bad weather. It's not unbearable, but I don't want to exercise.
"Hmm. Don't push it too hard!
After a while Luca left with the wound pills. You must have come all the way here to see me worried.
After all, Luca is sweet.
After Luca returned home, new visitors arrived. It is a great nobleman in a key position in the country. Was he only a military secretary?
"Sir Lint. Actually, I need to ask you something."
Greetings I'll cut it out early. Looks like a busy military lord.
By the way, Lint is my last name.
"... ah. Yes, why?
For a long time, I was confused for a moment because I had never been called by my last name.
It is normal for a surname to have only those above the middle class. Adventurers are far from surnames.
It is rare among adventurers that my father is a knight's squire and I have a surname.
By the way, the brave men were struggling with having to think of their family names during the epistle.
The military secretary says with a serious eye.
"Sir Lint would love to lead the new Knights of Magic."
Even though the Demon King has been crusaded, there are still vicious demons everywhere.
They expect the new Knights of Magic Guidance to crusade particularly vicious demons scattered all over the place.
It's a great honor. I would have been happy to weep if my father or my mum had asked.
But it's honestly tough to turn around with a sore knee.
Besides, both my father and my mum, who delight me, are dead long ago.
"Much appreciated the story......"
I thought a little and said no.
The military secretary unfortunately makes it look like he can't give up.
"Too bad."
"I'm so sorry"
"... right. Sir Lindt. Will you put an archery on the court magicians?
"Huh?"
"If you look at Sir Lint's exceptional moves, you must be in the mood for all the out-of-the-box magicians!
I thought I'd say no. But I can't refuse to be strongly asked to "just today", "just once to try", etc.
He refused to accept the request to assume the post of Commander of the Demonic Knights. Even after that, the bees don't hit.
That's what the military secretary seems to think.
"... ok"
"That helps!
I put up with knee pain and did an archery on the court magician for about three hours.
And when I tried to go home,
"Sir Lint!
Now comes the total former tightening of the Adventurer Gilt. Guild Grandmaster, a man of higher standing than the Guild Commander of every town in every country.
I don't know exactly what he's doing either.
However, I know that the upper ranks of the Alliance, including the Grand Master, are working so hard that the Adventurer Alliance can exist independently of the nation.
"I was just lucky to be here to greet the royal palace and see Sir Lint. I was just about to ask you at home."
The Grandmaster looks very happy.
"What can I do for you?
"Yes, we are planning to establish a new Adventurer Guild in the former Demon King's Realm soon, and I would like Sir Lint to be the guild leader there."
If you are also an Alliance of the Old Demon King, you will have to confront a vicious demon. Pioneering also becomes an important role.
If you don't have enough men, you will need to be on the front line as the Guild Leader himself.
I guess that's why it's my promotion...
My knee hurts.
"It feels a little heavy on me. There's something more experienced."
The Grandmaster laughed out.
"Ha, you're too modest. Modesty, though virtuous, is too much of a dislike."
I'm not being modest.
Again, politely saying no, the Grandmaster looks sincerely sorry. And...
"Oh, yeah! Let it also be fate that was here. As a matter of fact, there have been reports of undead appearances near the Wang capital."
"Huh."
Too different story to follow.
"I'm supposed to be sending crusade troops soon, Sir Lint. Could you coach them?
"Huh?"
"Near here, I am an adventurer with one arm... but the king's capital is relatively peaceful. If you look at the magic of Sir Lint, who dived through the fierce battle, you will learn a lot."
It is not the duty of the predecessors to foster backwardness.
But my knee hurts.
I thought I'd say no. Even the adventurers of the King's capital should be able to do as well as the undead.
But before I refused to take up the position of guild leader first, it's hard to say no.
"Absolutely! Absolute! Think you'll help me!
My head was bowed by the Alliance's Grandmaster and I couldn't refuse.
"Okay."
When I was able to crusade the undead and go home, the sun was down.
"Bad."
When I got home, I accidentally snapped.
"Very bad"
My knees are hurting more than this morning. He arched dozens of court magicians and ran down mountain roads to crusade the undead.
The undead wasn't just a ghoul either, they were rich. And there were a lot of them.
The King's Capital adventurer party alone is full of fleeing. Crusade would not have been possible, not very much.
If that happens, either way, there will be a convocation for us, which is S-rank.
"Damn, I didn't know there was such a trap in S-rank..."
When I was given the S-rank title, I remember being explained and sworn in as being obliged to do so.
It was floating, so I wasn't thinking deeply.
It's not just work from the Alliance that's going to hunt my knees down.
Other greats besides the Secretary of State have decided to push the challenge.
That's the title for it.
Even when I get the title, I remember sworn in for the nation, for the king.
"Shit. I can't hold my knee"
I think.
I was going to eat it while I was pulling it home, resting my knees.
Having been an adventurer for a long time, I should be able to get that much rest.
You get a pension for getting the title, even if you do nothing. Otherwise it's like paid vacation.
Since I was an adventurer at the age of fifteen, I have worked almost without rest until I became Arafat.
And my knee hurts.
"How to Rest, How to Rest...... Sacramento, How to Be Sacramento"
I had a sleepless night.
The next day. I got up early and jumped in at the same time the guild opened.
"Mr. Alfred? What's wrong!?
Find what you want from a request affixed to a wall, responding appropriately to a surprise receptionist.
There are three conditions for the request I'm looking for.
That it seems like an easy request.
The client must be so rural that it cannot easily come from Wang Du.
And the long deadline for requests.
I thought about it overnight, it's a way to get back.
Just going back, they must say what your duty as an S-rank adventurer is. So if you've been asked by the Alliance from the start, you'll have no problem.
And I found it.
"Recruitment of Guards in Murg Village. Wolves and pigs are out and in trouble. The reward is clothing and accommodation. * There are hot springs in the village '
There is nothing to say with hot springs. Ideal for knee therapy.
I don't get paid much, but I don't have a problem getting a pension.
"This is it!!
When I removed the requisition form, I took it to the reception of the guild.
"Oh, is Mr. Alfred going to take this?
The guild's new receptionist is baffled. That's right.
The S-Rank Adventurer wants to take an F-Rank request.
"Yeah. Please. It's urgent!
If it was a little later, it must have been stopped if it was specifically the time the guild chief was at work.
Why would an S-class adventurer do this? Or a scattered question, there's a more appropriate quest, it must take convincing you to stop.
And if the time runs out, the Hands of the Secretary of State will rush, or someone at the Brave Party will listen and rush.
It's no bother.
But at this time when only the new receptionist is at the desk, I can order it. That's how I calculate it. Early morning orders.
"Yes......"
As I thought, he went through the process even though he didn't seem a little convinced.
(Ok!
I was delighted inside while trying not to change my expression.
