Chapter 34 (1/2)

Chapter 34 – Reward

I received it!

Eh? How much did I receive?

Well listen to this! It’s a total of 11 gold coins!

It seems the reward for the kidnapping incident was 3 gold and 8 gold for the bounty reward.1

It’s too little even though it’s a bounty you say? No, it seems that’s not the case. I asked the receptionist onee-san and there’s a whole range of bounties. The lowest bounty appears to be 1 gold~, the highest bounty is over 500 gold it seems.

This time’s bounty was ranked upper-bottom.

Since I’ve gotten the money, I’ll head to Garam-san’s place right away!

As I was thinking that while leaving the guild, the receptionist onee-san called for me to stop.

「Fujino-sama, please wait a moment. Your card needs to be updated.」

What update is she talking about?

「Fujino-sama’s adventurer rank is now E rank after completing this time’s commission.」

Come to think of it, I should’ve achieved it from the prescribed points from this time’s commission.

But if that’s the case, why didn’t they process it at the time I came to report the commission?

Having that question on my mind, I asked.

「Properly speaking, that should’ve happened, but this time, because the difference is that the special commission was achieved by Fujino-sama, it’s decided that it’ll be processed together with the rewards. And because the bounty was also captured, all of it will be processed together.」

A special commission, is it that kidnapping incident?

Since it’s still a commission in the end, there should be points ne.

Does the bounty also have points?

「I understand, Then please.」

I hand over my card to the receptionist onee-san.

「Okay, because I believe this will take some time, please wait over there.」

She points towards the coffee room.

I waited while drinking herb tea.

「Fujino-sama.」

To the voice calling out to me, I head to the reception desk.

「Thank you for waiting. Since the update has finished, please confirm it.」

Handing back the card, I confirm the card’s display.

Adventurer rank is…

Eh?

「Umm, how come my rank became D?」

E rank should be the rank above F rank.

「Yes, Fujino-sama has became a D rank. The reason is because of the special commission, the capture of the bounty and the five kidnappers you captured by yourself, in addition, your evaluation was increased because you safely protected the children. As a result, it’s been decided that you will be ranked up to D rank.」

After hearing the full story, resolving the kidnapping incident and capturing the criminals, protecting the children, it seems the points are each calculated differently.

Also adding up the capture of the bounty, as a result, there were enough points to carry me though to D rank.

It seems this special commission originally needed a party above D rank to resolve. Was that how the evaluation was done?2

With me having an unexpected large amount of money and a rank up, I head towards Garam-san’s place for the time being.

「h.e.l.lo~. Is Garam-san here?」

Entering Garam’s Weapon Store, I call out towards the interior.

「Ou, it’s the jou-chan. What’s happened?」

Garam-san immediately appears from the back.

「I came to buy since I’ve saved up enough money!」

Looking at me

speak with a smile, Garam-san makes a doubtful-like expression.

「You’ve already saved enough? Only half a month has pa.s.sed ya know. Oi, you didn’t do anything bad right?」

Mu, what are you suddenly saying.
