「I cannot thank you all enough」

「Grandpa…」

They were bawling their eyes out They must'vethe defeat the bandits and ere invited But unfortunately we had to refuse We had to report back to the guild right away and request for soldiers to arrest the bandits we tied up

「Once things settle down, please do visit us again We'll be waiting」

「And I' to start over Good luck on your endeavors, Noir-san!」

The village chief and Good on Toramaru's back, I hesitantly asked the others

「Did I do reat!」Ement and ability to take action was re points, I would think」Lunsan added

「Being a leader ht actually fit you」

「We took down the Magic Eater too It was tough and disgusting, though so we couldn't take anything fro! You should be Odin's ace by no if you'd just bewould be perfect Anyway, serious jokes aside First, the request for soldiers to arrest the bandits And with the completion of this quest, you've pretty ratulations!」Laursan said as she dragged everyone in the guild to congratulate lad Now I could finally enter Treasure Mountain Emma, however, put a stop to the celebration

「Wait a sec! What about me?」

「You're still a D rank」

「What? You shouldn't be a jerk just because you see istered before you and has completed more quests」

Now that she mentions it… She had some idle times as hen she didn't take quests But she shouldn't be that far behind A quest or tould probably be enough for her to rank up

I definitely didn't want to fight the dragon without any proper planning whatsoever It should be more powerful than our recent foe It would be best to plan things out carefully to the point where there'd be a huge chance of success

Just one ofI was eously or playing with the odds was just not me

The most important job of the leader, however, was to not let his members die That hat I believed and I would continue to stick to it in our future quests
