The day after returning to the city of Farren, Virum and the others received a call from the Adventurer's Guild and showed up at the guild's reception desk.

Celica, who had been completely put in charge of Virum and the others, responded to the call with a smile.

''You have reached the promotion line by completing this job. Congratulations! Mr. Wyrm and Ms. Cunaria will be promoted to the rank of C as of today.

''... Isn't it too soon for you to have been promoted to a D grade just the day before yesterday?''

'There's no problem. Defeating bandits and thieves is normally a C-rank or higher request, so there are more promotion points for that. Investigating and defeating bandits' hideout, disposing of corpses, transporting stolen goods, etc. are all separate jobs. Normally, after you reach the promotion line, you will be asked to take the job of defeating bandits and thieves as a test, but Virum-san and the others have done it this time.

Vilm had doubts about the premature promotion of his rank, but after Celica's explanation, he was convinced.

The adventurers around them were also talking about the gossip ever since Virum and the others entered the guild.

''That elven girl is a B-rank Meldina-san, huh? I'm not sure if she used to be mainly exploring ruins or not, but she's a beauty because she's an elf.

I'm a fan of Kounaria-chan. It's a good thing that you have a healthy atmosphere that makes you want to protect them. I've heard that she fights with a big axe on her back, but I like that gap.

I've always shied away from them because of their looks and the rumors about the human race, but Virum is a great guy. He's not picky about what he does, and for a young man he seems very calm and reliable.

''I mean, just three people can't eradicate almost thirty bandits, that's not a C rank. I'm sure they'll be able to climb up to the A-rank, maybe even the S-rank. Those three.

The rumors are clearly more favorable than the day I came to register with the Adventurer's Guild.

''But I can't forgive that guy from Vilm. To keep Meldina-san and Kounaria-chan to himself...!

Oh, you talk so friendly to Mr. Meldina!

'I envy you! I wish Kunalia would call me 'Master' too.

The jealousy of the vindictive men seemed to have been sent against Virm, though.

After completing the procedure for promotion to C-rank, Virum and the others were led to the guildmaster's room under the guise of handing over the reward for their emergency request.

The room was filled with Shazar, Sierra, the Farren representative, Assem, the production guild general manager, and Nanaterra, the merchant guild general manager.

''Virumhan! Honestly, you've been a real help! The number of merchants being robbed of their goods by those brigands has been increasing, so we've been having a hard time with it.

As soon as she saw Vilm's appearance, Nanaterra, the merchant guild's general manager, took her hands and buzzed them up and down.

Tears pooled in her eyes, telling her that her gratitude to Virum and the others was genuine.

'I didn't expect to be able to resolve the urgent request we decided on at the meeting the next day. On behalf of the residents of Farren, I would like to extend my thanks to you all.

Farren's representative, Sierra, bowed her head deeply and thanked him.

I'm sure it's going to have an effect on our side as well. This is the way to go,” he says. I'm glad to hear that the weapons we gave to the girls were also useful.

What? Assem, you're the one who told me you couldn't run away. Why didn't you tell us about this?

I didn't run off with you. You said you were looking for a weapon for your daughter, so I just gave you one of the weapons I have in my shop.

Leaving Assem and Nanaterra, who started arguing with Yayoi Yayoi, Shazar moved in front of Virum and the others.

''Sorry for the noise, Virum. We were all expecting more damage before it was resolved, so we're excited about the outcome of an immediate resolution.

No, I'm glad it was helpful. It was a good experience for Cunaria, too.

You've been very helpful. Well, now, about that reward...

Shazal placed several bags of drawstring that he had prepared beforehand on the desk.

I'm going to be able to say that the basic reward written in the request form is 30 gold coins, 10 gold coins for searching and discovering the hiding place, 15 gold coins as the number of bandits was higher than expected, 6 gold coins for disposing of the corpses, 2 gold coins per person for transporting the stolen goods, and a total of 67 gold coins.

...sure.

It seems that there are 20 gold coins in each bag, and after a firm count, I handed one to Meldina and Cunaria each.

The seven extra coins are the portion that repays the lodging fees that were paid in advance, so they ended up in Virum's pocket.

Meldina has a beaming face and Kounaria has a restless expression because of the large amount of money that came in.

''Roughly, Assem-han...''

Nana Terra, do you have a minute?

Suddenly, as if Virum had an idea, he called out to Nanaterra, who was still arguing immensely with Assem.

''Yes... yes! What's that? Wyrm's Version

Nanatera, as if she instantly forgot that she was arguing with Assem, lowers the corners of her eyes and moves to Virum's side.
