Chapter 110 - Requirements for Ranking Up (2/2)

“When you say dangerous…do you mean you could be eaten?”

“Yes. As it is underwater, you cannot reach it with magic. So you must use spears… And that’s when they bite you and drag you under the water, where you are drowned. And then you are eaten.”

I see.

It was as dangerous as you might expect from a quest near water.

However, strictly speaking, I wasn’t solo.

I had slimes.

While I didn’t know if my magic would work in the water, I felt like there were other ways to fight.

Of course, fire magic and bullets would be useless. But Area Freeze seemed like it might work. And as a last resort, I could just evaporate the entire river with Hellfire of Death.

If it would help me get to D-Rank, it was worth a try.

“All right. I’ll accept this one.”

“…You understand that it’s dangerous?”

“I’ll complete it while staying as far away from the water as possible.”

I said as I had her complete the procedure.

But…it was already dark today.

It would be a disaster if I lost my footing out there. So I would do it tomorrow.

Thankfully, I had 3 days to complete it.

A little while after.

I left the guild and went to Gaiger’s armor shop for monsters.

This was so I could give him the gemstones from the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon.

“Are you still open?”

I called from outside.

In this world, a lot of places closed in the evening.

“Oh. You’re that F-Ranker from before!”

I heard a voice, and then Master Gaiger came out from the back.

He did not sound particularly hopeful as he asked me,

“So, did you get the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon gemstones?”

“Yeah. …Here they are. Can you use them?”

I said as I offered them to him.
