Ten days after finishi+ng the quest in the ancient forestーーin the counter inside the adventurer’s guild

Junpei shows the proof of identity that he got frouild on the table counter

「……I want to register as an adventurer, and request to join the B-Rank selection exam」

A receptionist lady with a s Junpei

「Ahh, it’s you huh〜…… you know〜……I……I have been interested in you quite a bit」

「Interested?」

「The receptionist lady wearing glasses before……she has quite a bad〜, part-time job you know〜?」

Pikuri, Junpei’s ear moved

「……so?」

「And, for so since she has h et caught in an accident……well, you could really say that it’s a co if you want」

The woman took out a book from the table drawer below

「And then……surprise!〜 here’s a report that I got with quite a bad〜 way……it’s frouild you know〜?」

「I read it, but, you……you’re quite ridiculous?」

Since earlier, Junpei has not changed his expression

He had maintained a perfect poker face with the【Mimicry】skill

「Ridiculous?」

「A group with the cousin of the Sacred E an S-Rank adventurer, they were all annihilated during the elf hunt in the ancient forest after an attack of the dragon species And the only survivor of that……is you, right?」

Junpei shrugged his shoulders and said

「Yeah, I was very lucky It’s the saathered, and reserved by the noble-sauild」

The wohed joyfully

「Ohthat huh〜 Onee-san, honestly……she’s quite surprised you know?」

「……what is it with you since earlier, what do you want to say?」

“Un”, she nodded, the woman said

「It’s not like I want to report you to the city guards or sooing to take it huh? The B-Rank adventurer selection exam」

「Didn’t I say that fro」

Once again, the woman opened the drawer, and took out a piece of paper from there

「This is the exam’s outline The scheduled date, well, around ten days I think」

Ski face

「Outline you say……all that’s written here is the map to the examination place What the heck is this」

「It’s because, you don’t need to know anything The only things you need to know, is the date, the place, and this, that’s it」

The woman with flax hair color took another piece of paper, and placed it on the counter table

Junpei who looked through the paper raised both his hands to the annoyance

「Pledge letter……huh」

「Right It just says……you shouldn’t have claih」

「You mean by that is?」

「In short……well, the possession of the body shall be given to the guild, I guess?」

To those words, Junpei thought rolling his eyes weren’t enough for that, so he made a wry smile

「……oi, that is……?」

「Well, I can just say, since elven liver could be sold, human liver also, yup, it’s just that」

Junpei spat out after clicking his tongue

「……daround, all of it’s full of shi+t Oi, lend me your pen」

「Ara, you didn’t get frightened huh? Most of the people ants to take the test, after receiving this threat……well, with their lacking brains……they would think about a lot of things though〜」

After receiving the pen, Junpei signed the papers

「Well then, I’ll confirht?」

「Yes, that’s right〜 Well then, I’ll be waiting for you on-site okay」

「Oi, waiting you say……what do you mean by that?」

And there, finding the answer to his own question, Junpei places a fist on his palm

「Ahh, I see, you’re saying, you’ll be cheering for rounds……is that it?」

Making a mischievous smile, the woman tilted her head

「Well, you should just look forward thereーーon what kind of situation I would have with you……I guess?」

「Honestly, I want to say “no thanks” I have enough of troubles……I don’t want to get involved with troublesouys more than this」

「Ara, you’re so snobbish……well, I ht now? Onee-san’s about to finish working, so there’s no problem?」

「Who’d go with you……and, so, excuse me then」

Junpei quickly turned around, and went towards the door

And while looking at his back going away, the woman with flax-colored hair licked her lips

「Oh my, I was turned doell, whatever」

And she took another piece of paper from under the table

「A special pen-shaped status gauge It’s quite expensive you know……he D-Rank adventurer……」

The wo

「I will surely……uncover your identity okay? Darling?」

The human race in this world, they are divided by three powers

One is the Holy Church of which the Sacred Eion, the Sacred Empire sphere of influence is the most powerful by a lot

And following that, the coalition of kingdoion is the Holy Church’s, the church’s control is comparatively lower

This sphere of influence is second to the Sacred Empire

And the third, the coalition of countries where the ion is not the Holy Churchーーthis could be called the Manacuth Union

The Manacuth Union, their ethnicity are different, and their religions are also different They are the genuine mish-mash third sphere of influence, and up until recently, they did not have the right to speak in the international politics

However, in recent years, the different ethnicities and different religions created an iron pact, their powers increased just like a growing bamboo

And the country that became its center, it is the Manacuth Empire that once ruled over 60 of the continent

The Manacuth Eether with the Sacred Eoーーin the appearance of the eether the neighboring countries very quickly, and once again appeared in the international society as the head of the third power

ーーthe scene is, in the capital of Manacuth Empire, Brunsel

In the great hall of the iymnasium in modern japan

A party with a buffet is being held, dishes and alcohol that shows luxury are being lined up

Fat nobles wore glaood at all in the guise of pleasant talks

The difference froh society, is that the clothes the attendees wore have no uniformity

This is a scene that could only be seen in the Manacuth Union that has different ethnicities and religions

And, there, the nobles halted their pleasant talks, the hall was filled with silence

The place where all of the towards to

On the stage in the front of the venue, a eht Martial Emperor took a deep breath, he was just about to speak

「Everyone! We, the Manacuth Union is currently being shunned by the international society, we are being looked down upon on, and we are receiving disadvantages starting froned on!」

All of thereat hall, a low voice echoed clearly

「Sacred Edoion, we have named ourselves as an independent nation, but in fact, we are treated nearly as vassals……! Why, why do we need to receive the short end of the stick?」

Taking a deep breath, the Light Martial Eer

「ーーーーーーーーーーstrength! It’s because, we do not have enough strength!!」

He continues as if to scream

「Wealth!! Farrounds!! Mines!! All of theh!! That is whyーーour fighting strength is not enough!」

Everyone as in the venue held their breath

Nominally, it is the assembly within the Manacuth Union, but who knows if the Sacred Empire has sent spies

In other words, the speech, while it shows antagonism towards the Holy Church’s side of powers, its contents could also be taken as a declaration of war

「They……they created a system where they would squeeze out e have as much as they want! If soーーwhat do we need to do? Should we continue to spend our days being extorted like this?!」

Shaking his head fiercely, the Light Marital Eer

「ーーーthe answer is NO! It is no!」

“Ohh……”, voices of approval were raised from the corner of the venue

「There are s that the Sacred Empire has, and that we do not have That is e do not have enough strength If so, what should we do?」

Nodding hugely, the Light Martial Emperor continued

「So that only we have, and the Sacred Empire does not haveーーwe only need to create it!!」

Pausing for a moment, Pan, he sounded his palm, and slowly opens his arms wide

「ーーancient civilization!! The human race’s lost wisdoon species, to the the region they controlーーーーーto the forbidden land!! We shall advance forward!! Wealth!! Power!! Strengthーーeverything is in there!!」

Cheers were raised from everywhere inside the venue, and in some places, worried voices were also whispered

「There should be ones who are worried within you However, I want to ask you Since ancient tianisーーbut, is that really true?!」

Everyone held on to their breath, they watched every ht Martial Emperor did

「Since time immemorial, it has been said that countries shall be destroyed once they touched the dragon species’ reverse scaleーーbut, is that really true?!」

Exaggerated gestures, loud voice that passes on clearly

Expressions that shows extreether with the intonations of his words

「In the history up until now, there are only countable nuon species……within the long history, curious adventurers, by the that, there are only some」

Everyone in there were already drunk to the speech the Light Martial Emperor did

Co, have only ruled barbarians, the bloodline of the Light Martial Emperor is that of the ruler that once controlled 60 of the continent

The Light Martial Eht about the i since he was a child, he has no errors

「As the history shows, the whole hulass up until now As if to cover up so the fact that the resources exist there……they have never seriously tried to annihilate them……that is all that there is!!」

Breathing in a deep breath, the Light Martial Emperor shouted with the loudest voice up until now
