160 Episode 160: The Triumph of Young Heroes (1/2)

”No, thanks for this time. I never thought that many orcs would hit me.”

When we arrived safely in the town of Togai, the leader of the merchant army told us that, while he wrote the paperwork to complete the request.

”No, I don't think so.”

”I'm not in good shape!

It's always a sight for Mina to embarrass you, Gyro.

”Then let's go to the Adventurer Alliance and report on the achievement of the request.”

”Oops! It's been a long time since you've had a guild here either!

”Well, it's been a long time.”

Yeah, because this is where we started.

I feel a little nostalgic, even though it wasn't so long ago.

”You're going to the guild where Mr. Rex was active.”

”Yeah, they're all good people!

”There must have been a lot of people swinging around.”

and Mr. Liliera sighed, but what the hell does that mean?

Coming to the Adventurer Guild in Town of Toguy for the first time in a long time, it was incredibly busy inside.

”Wow, that's so crowded.”

”What is this, not like the guild of the king's capital when it's crowded!? Even the guild of Hekiji town has never been so crowded!?”

Mr. Liliera was right, some of the guilds were so crowded that it was difficult to walk.

”Hmm, this sounds like you should slouch your time”

”Well, not very much, but I don't think I can go to a desk like this.”

”Well, let's take the inn first”

We decided to take the Inn once, after the Adventurer Alliance, because we were all in agreement.

And when I shift time and come back to the Adventurer Guild again...

”There aren't many people at this hour on the boulder... I don't think so.”

We slammed time and came to the Adventurer Alliance again, but it still remained crowded in the Alliance.

Nevertheless, I still wonder if it's better than just now.

”One, the next... Huh”

Elma, the receptionist, is dealing with adventurers who are waiting in order because they look tired.

Looks like you're busy like that.

”Nevertheless, you can't stay out of line”

But we'll be in line, too.

”Damn, I lost -!”

Behind me, Gyro, you are so full of regrets.

Apparently, Gyro, you've decided who to line up with.

Well, because I got a job at a party, it doesn't mean we're all in line.

After a while, my turn will come.

”Next...”

”Sorry, I'm here to report completion of the request -”

This is Elma, my contact person.

I haven't seen him in a long time, but he seems kind of tired.

”Yes... Then let me check the paperwork.”

Ms. Elma confirms the contents of the document when she receives it with a yo-yo-yo hand.

”Yes, I checked the client's signature. Ah. Rex in S-rank accomplished the request......?

And that's where Mr. Elma slowly looks up.

”Long time no see”

……

But Mr. Elma stays perfectly still.

”Mr. Elma?

”Les...”

”Les?”

”Mr. Rex, whack!?”

All of a sudden I turn to Elma, who shouted out loud, and the people in the guild say something.

”Hey, why not!?”

”No, I came all the way to this town on a request.”

”Yes, please!?”

”Yes. Nevertheless, you've had a lot more people while you were away. Is something wrong?

Could it have been found a medicinal herb that would be money or even a rare demon?

”Hey, you know what...”

Mr. Elma stares at me with trembling crocodiles.

Oh, that? Did I say something to piss Mr. Elma off?

”Well, it must be decided because Mr. Rex was promoted to S-rank.”

”Yes!? My fault!?”

What the hell is going on?

”S-Rank!?”

”Who!?”

When I hear Mr. Elma scream, the adventurers around me start to blur.

”You mean that kid you're talking to, Mr. Elma?

”No, you, there's no way a kid like that could be an S-rank.”

”That's right.”

Wow, it's getting kind of noisy in the guild.

Perhaps we should withdraw this as soon as we get paid.

”Whoa!? You're a dragon boy! Long time no see!

In the meantime, the man who spoke to me was an adventurer who taught me all sorts of things when I first came to the Adventurer Guild.

”Oh, it's been a while”

”Oh, I'm glad you remembered 10,000 years of C-rank like me.”

”I remember you well because you taught me a lot when I first came to the Adventurers Guild”

”Ha ha, you're as humble as ever when you get promoted to S-rank!

'Cause he's still immature.'

Talking to a familiar adventurer I haven't seen in a long time, the other adventurers speak up.
