Of course, even if it is aided by a high-ranking adventurer, it is not something that can be easily requested by a newcomer who has suddenly registered as an adventurer.

Well, normally I can't.

If you really need the power of a high-ranking adventurer, it is common practice not to ask for it as an adventurer, but rather to ask for a high reward as a requester.

Especially if you're in a position like me to handle money like hot water.

Not only the property of the Duke of Farrens, but also the money that is flowing in personally from various places, I am now a good wealthy individual.

Originally, there were lands and titles that had been given away from my parents, and I had quite a lot of money as an individual from the beginning of my marriage, but this is not the ratio now.

The wealth from those parents' homes was given by their parents so that they could live alone even if, after marriage, they were divorced for some reason. Even if it was comparable to ordinary people, as a nobleman, it was only a nobleman's belongings.

But for now... we have profits from the Wens Chamber of Commerce, and we also have profits from patents on magic tools that I personally own.

Even if it is cheaper than those, there is also a salary as a college professor, and if you count various other things, it is not clear.

Well, they are all based on the knowledge of the previous time, and as a result, they have taken the form of other people's inventions.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that... but I had no choice around here because my life would be in danger if I didn't.

For once, as long as I remember such an opponent, I would be better off not doing anything, even if I had to say that it was more or less equivalent to aiding or hypocrisy.

And that's why I don't dare rely on the power of money to register as an adventurer and seek high-ranking adventurers.

It is a simple matter that in this Holy Nation, we promised great rewards and recruited the Duke of Farrens while giving his name, because the outline of the matter will be clearly conveyed to the Holy Nation.

Well, you could send out a request anonymously without naming the Farrens, but either way, it's the same thing.

Promise a reward in an amount that ordinary humans can't offer, and ask a high-ranking adventurer to do it.

It is unnecessary to write about the contents of the request in the request form, and even if we talk about it after we actually meet, it is inevitable that the attention of the holy country will be paid.

But we can't let that happen.

I must break through the labyrinth before the Holy Nation knows it, and acquire the wands that exist there.

According to Lilly, it was in the deepest depths, so it wasn't that hard to figure out where to go.

I think it was good that it was in the room in front of the deepest part, that it fell when I noticed the aisle, and that it was not the way to find it in such a halfway place. It's too hard to find. The labyrinth is vast wherever it may be.

Instead, it seems that we have to defeat the mighty monster that seems to exist in the deepest depths, so there are some tough ones...

Besides, even Lilly at the time seemed to have struggled quite a bit... so it's a good idea to just think about it.

Even though Lily was still weaker than she was when I was killed, she was definitely the best sorcerer I ever had.

She struggled.

Normal humans couldn't have done it properly.

Of course, I see failure on my own.

That's why we really need high-ranking adventurers... "

Well, I've worked a lot of other ways and I'm going to try something other than the offensive method, but still.

With that in mind, we will describe the necessary items in the documents handed over by the receptionist.

As for the name, it's just Elaine and I.

This name is not uncommon, and it's not just for the nobility, it's for the common people.

So there is no problem.

I choose not to write my family name because it doesn't have to be written or written.

I wrote the worst pseudonym, but I didn't care about the adventurer registration, so I could do that, but I didn't want to lie as much as I could because I lived a life full of lies the previous time.

Even so, I do it when I have to.

I'm not going to choose too many means for this purpose.

I'm not trying to commit extreme crimes, and I'm trying to live as good a life as I can.

"Your name... is Elaine-sama." As for the battle... magic swordsman? This is unexpected again. As far as I can see, as far as that figure goes..... "

The official observes my body with a strange expression.

With regard to the appearance, with a magic tool, the hair color and the eye color are dimmed to gray, and in addition, the facial appearance is changed slightly, but the body shape is not changed.

I wonder if he's poor?

"No, it's not, you're lavish." Many women who have acquired warrior skills have muscle strength comparable to that of men. If you're an archer, it's a bit slim, but... it's mainly about swordsmanship. "

Do you suspect that you won't be able to fight?

"That's why... but if you're a magician, you can just use one or two magic, but if you're a warrior, you'll need a simulated battle to prove your prowess." Just to confirm, would you mind? "

There are different rules for this in the adventurers' associations all over the country.

In some cases, simulated battles are not necessary, but they can be proven by defeating an affordable monster, or by searching around the labyrinth and bringing the materials there.

This seems to be the case with the union here.

Well, I know about this because I've looked into it beforehand.

So there is no problem.

Besides, I knew who was in charge of this mock battle.

I nod to the reception and give my consent.

No problem.

Well then, I'm going to call in the examiner, so could you wait a moment?

"Yeah, I got it."

When I waited there, five adventurers entered the Adventurer's Union with a grunting voice.

Thank you. It seems that after drinking alcohol during the time period, there is a suspicious pace.

I don't know what the union wants after I drink... but I guess they'll have some time to catch sight of my request for tomorrow at night.

Nevertheless, when I found myself waiting for me in front of the reception desk in quite a mess, I came closer.

... this could be a bit of a hassle.

I thought so, but I couldn't leave the Adventurer's Union before I was told to wait here.

Magic can be used to erase signs, but in general, the Adventurer's Association should avoid the use of magic as much as possible.

This is because adventurers can instantly enter a combat position if they feel signs of magic aggregation. Especially in a tight space, they know that a momentary mistake of judgment can lead to life, so in some cases, they can't complain because they've been killed.

Therefore, even though there were few people, I could not even go to exercise my magic, and I had no choice but to stand there.

The magic tool change continues from the time it was outside, so there was no sign of magic power in the sense of aggregation, and there was no problem. The magic tool itself was covered in hidden magic.

However, since they are not the type to hide my existence, they will, of course, fall into their sight.

Sure enough, the five adventurers stand in front of me and talk to me.

"Oh? What's the matter, what happened to the young woman?" Do you want me to do it? Then we'll take care of it... that's why, come here a little bit. "

The most drunken man at the forefront said that.

Well, this kind of person is common in the Adventurer's Union.

So don't do anything suddenly, I say.

"The receptionist is telling me to wait, so I can't." You're too drunk for that, aren't you? I think it's better to wake up. "

"Huh? I'm not drunk...!"

Having said that, the man fluttered and reached out to grab my arm, thinking, "Well, I think it's good enough to defend myself," I clenched my fist hard and struck the abdomen as close as I could to being invisible to the other four adventurers.

Then, the man falls and loses consciousness, so I support it.

I feel a little sick because of the strong smell of alcohol, but I can't help it because I defeated it.

Besides, the weight of the man came all at once, so it was just a little heavy.

I would like to

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, he's fallen. Take me... it's heavy. Besides, it's dangerous to stay like this."

It is known that in some cases people die because of excessive consumption of alcohol.

It seemed that this man had drunk too much so I let him use it as an excuse.

One of the fellow men seemed surprised that the man lost consciousness, but he still seemed to recognize that he was drinking too much... He immediately took the man from me and said.

"Huh? Oh, Garz, are you all right?... so I told you to drink too much... haah, you're not done either." I didn't ask you to talk to me. She said she didn't see her face. If we were going to be in trouble, we were going to stop, so forgive us. "

"Really? It wasn't really a gaze without loyalty... well, that's fine." Take me to the clinic sooner. If I die like this, I won't be able to wake up. "

"Yeah, okay, guys, let's go."

Having said that, they left the Adventurer's Union.

Then, looking at the door of the Adventurer's Union for a while,

"... I'm sorry to keep you waiting"

I looked back because I heard such a voice from behind the receptionist.

There stood a receptionist woman and a young man.

Is that the examiner?

"Yeah, that's right... but this guy..."

"Oops, more than that, you're a magic swordsman? Really?"

The young man interrupted the staff member and asked him such a thing.

Obviously, he looks suspicious, but I'm not lying to him, so I'm going to answer honestly.

"Yes, it's true. I thought you were going to let me prove it... was it not?"

"No, it's not." I didn't doubt your prowess. You certainly seem to have the strength to be a warrior. "

Huh?

"That was before." Look, you beat Garz's stomach, didn't you? "

"... have you been watching? So if you're an official of the Adventurer's Union, you shouldn't help them?"

I don't know if they actually stopped us, but at least they have a duty to do so.

The Adventurer's Union is forbidden to interact with adventurers anywhere.

Even so, if you go outside the Adventurer's Association, adventurers will struggle for various reasons, such as territorial disputes, prey encounters, and problems related to ups and downs.

As a minimum benevolence, the Adventurer's Association is strongly advised not to fight.

And for that reason, it is believed that staff should also firmly stop if there is a possibility.

"And yet..."

You must have noticed that I had such distrust in my eyes.

The young man gives a look of apologies and then says:

"No, no, I'm sorry. I seemed to be fine, and Garz isn't really a bad guy." I was surprised when I tried to grab your arm... it seemed a little too drunk. In addition, it was too far to stop the boulders. I know what it's like, so I'm a little lost to yelling at you. "

The excuse stains me... but, um, at least my muscles aren't passing through.

I thought it would be useless to say anything else here, so I shook my head to the side.

"... hah, I see." Instead, you're the examiner? "

What is it?

"I wonder if I can take the examination right away." Today, I want to complete the registration and go home early. "

Otherwise, I will be interrupted in my work from tomorrow.

I came today because I could afford to register, but I couldn't suddenly work in the Adventurer's Union.

For a while, I've been busy with lectures at the college and with the children.

The young man may not know such circumstances, but it is fine to hurry.

In my words, youth,

"Was it?" I thought you were a relaxed person because you were coming at this time of day, but was it the other way around? I'm sorry about that. I'll show you to the test site right away... erm, you can go back to work now. I'll take over the rest. "

The young man said that to the staff and then walked out of the Adventurer's Union hallway.

It seems that he really took a good interest in me because he was a fast-forward.

I have a little idea about the things that didn't go into the cessation, but I don't think I can evaluate this.

As he walks, the young man says:

It's a detailed test, but have you already heard about it?

"Yeah, that was a mock battle." But I haven't heard about the format yet. "

There were many ways to do simulated battles.

It ranged from using only certain weapons, forbidding sorcery, to using no magic tools, and vice versa.

No matter what the rules were, I had no problem with them, but I needed to check them first.

It is not interesting to be accused of violating the rules later.

The young man answers my question.

"Basically, [anything]... oh, you'll have to use only our wooden weapons." I was hoping that you would refrain from using magic to kill me. In other words, it's the edging rule. "

"It's good that it's easy to understand." So, what are the requirements for passing? "

"If you beat me, I'd say..."

But?

"If you do that, you won't be able to enroll all the warriors." If you show me the right technology, I'll be fine. "

It is good to say that this dialogue shows the confidence of the youth.

It's pretty strong.

Well, I don't know.

That's why I asked without particularly pushing it.

Specifically?

The youth gave a slightly sad expression to this.

Maybe you wanted me to mention that I'm confident, but that's not what I know.

The young man seemed to understand that I was unwilling to impose on him, and he had no choice.

If you show me the strength to fight the forest goblins around here, that's fine.

That's good, isn't it?

"Yeah, it's ridiculous to ask new registrants for more." But if you don't have that much strength, even if you become an adventurer, you'll soon die. "

Well, that's right.

But I was a little curious.

"What would happen if I didn't have that much power?"

"There are many things to do, but if you're going to be an adventurer, you might want to ask them to attend a free union course or something and learn some skills." If the cost of living up to that point is severe, I feel that I will receive a lot of requests for miscellaneous services. This city is rich, so you can live well just by clearing up such requests in the city. Of course, I can't afford the luxury, but.... "

I see, it's not a bad story.

It is said that Istward often causes the registration itself to be given up.

There is no such thing as free classes.

Because I couldn't spill that much money on the boulders.

Apparently, the Adventurer's Union here is quite moist.

Or perhaps there were quite a few subsidies from the state.

After all, this is the Holy City of the Holy Land.

Because the Episcopal Church also has a philosophy of allowing many people to work without abandoning them.

That said, the church doesn't have the strength to do it anywhere in the world, but I think it's about your knee.

I think it is an initiative that has been looked up.

It was my dialogue with that meaning, but did the young man make a mistake?

"Oh, are you already worried about falling?" As far as I can see, I don't think you have any problems at all. "

Then you don't need a simulated fight, do you?

I don't want to be able to do it... well, given my purpose, I can't say that either.

I just asked.

Young people are

"This is something we're doing to everyone." I've seen you fight the boulders, so I can't exempt you. "

"... is that really all?"

I felt a little suspicious, so when I asked, the young man smiled bitterly,

"... if I confess, I'd like to experience your strength with myself." I don't think so.

“No, it's good to be honest. But... why? That's what you saw earlier."

"Simple moves, right?" Well, I know how strong and quick you are. I mean, I wouldn't do anything like a drunken Garz. You're a very capable adventurer, aren't you? Even if you're drunk, it's quite a blow to sink it. ”

"Then it's not a problem."

"But you didn't use any special physical enhancements, and you didn't use any weapons, did you?" I wonder how strong you really are... and if you show me how much you can defeat Forest Goblin in this simulation, I can register you as a warrior adventurer, but if you show me more than that, it doesn't mean there's no benefit. Haven't you heard of it? I'm the one who registers for jump class. "

"... there is. You can start with the appropriate level of Adventurer, which must start at Level 10 or Level 9." But I heard it was an exceptional treatment. "

“That's right, but you could make an exception. Well, I don't know how much. From what I just saw... well, I think it's about grade seven. By the way, Garz is in grade six."

If you're a Grade 6 adventurer, you can say you're a mid-career veteran.

With a few people together, I could do something about Flying Dragon.

There was no strengthening, and I thought that it was probably because I was drunk and conscious.

"I hope you can enroll in the higher ranks as much as possible."

"I was hoping for that too... well, here we are."

There was a large door with two doors open in front of her.

The Adventurer's Union was usually accompanied by a training ground for adventurers.

Of course, it is not limited to places where the land cannot be secured, but there are tests like this one, so it is usually there.

However, it varied in size, from something that could train a few people at most, to something that could still afford to use a few groups of parties.

What is in this holy city is a stone, and it will be bigger.

I could understand it from the door alone.

The young man puts his hand on the door.

"There are no patrons at the current time." So you don't have to hide your strength. It's okay if you do everything you can. "

"... will someone come in along the way?"

"I can't say it's definitely not possible... but basically, it's reserved here." I didn't get any bookings from any parties this evening, so it's okay. ”

"... yes. If so, let me spoil your words."

"Wow, that's very motivating. I'm looking forward to it. Please, miss. Come here."

It was a young man who, in a rude manner, said like a butler and offered his hand.

For a moment, I wondered if my identity had been revealed, but from the look on my face, it seemed that it was just funny, so I guess it was my imagination.

I wanted to give you back a little, and I was like a lady... actually a lady... but when I took his hand and went inside, the young man seemed surprised.

It must have been because the workmanship was in the hall.

Of course.

It's something I do well at home.

Then, as soon as I entered, the door was closed.

The simulated battle begins.
