Have you ever heard of it? It's a type of stone that has a gemstone inside it.

"...... Oh, so it's a cave stone. I see, then this appearance is also .......

Natsuki seemed to have an idea and nodded in agreement, but I had no idea what it was.

What's a cave stone?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you go to a tourist attraction, you can find it at the souvenir shop .......

Oh! Oh, that! It's the one before you cut it!

It seems that Toya didn't understand either, so he nodded his head vigorously at Natsuki's explanation.

It's true that the outside of that thing looks like it's just a stone.

And yet, the inside is beautiful. Very strange.

So this is it. I'd certainly like to break it open.

No, I'd rather cut it clean off.

And I have the means to do it.

Yes, a "plain shift".

"Hey, Haruka--

No.

Yes.

Apparently not.

Leave it to the professionals.

I can't deny it if he says so.

What do you want? Do you want to sell them to the guild? The guild would be happy to sell them to you, but I'm sure the price would be higher if you took them to a store.

"Are you sure? Even so.

Yes. It's our job to support adventurers. The store I recommend in this town is...

The store that Diora-san told me about was...

Oh. I know that store.

...... What a coincidence. I know it too.

You do? Nao, you don't seem to be into jewelry.

Yeah, because that's where I bought .......

I glanced at Haruka's fingers.

You can't see it because she's wearing gloves right now, but underneath it, there's probably a ring.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

So, yes. I'm sure you've heard of it.

Did you know that? You know that shop?" "Yes, that's the shop. They'll give you a proper appraisal, and you can trust them to make jewelry or accessories. If you want to go to the trouble, you can go to Pining. ......

Is there any chance that pinning will be more expensive or technically superior?

It's not going to change. Unless you travel to King's Landing. If you don't need the jewel right now, you can have it roughly processed and keep it in that state. I think you should consult with them about that.

I see. That's also a good idea.

It's not that we need accessories,......, but the way the ladies are acting, it's not like we're not going to make any at all.

Thank you, Mr. Diora. I'll be right there.

Yes. -Wait a minute.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to get in touch with your loved ones, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What is it? I'm going to leave the Iron Golem in the warehouse properly. ......

Yes, please take care of that. But that's not it. I'm talking about your adventurer rank, Haruka-san.

Adventurer Rank: ...... Oh, by the way, there is such a thing.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

And the same goes for the rest of us.

The last time I was ranked up was ...... when.

I think it was about six months ago, when we defeated Dahl's Bear, so it was around spring.

We didn't pay much attention to it, so I don't really remember.

Diora sighs a little tiredly at us.

Don't forget: ....... There are a lot of adventurers who are busy trying to raise their ranks.

"Well, you don't really think about your rank when you're in this town, do you?

Even if you look at the forums, there are no requests for high ranks only.

That's right. There's no benefit to being a high rank... Oh, you said the appraisal fee is cheap. That's a benefit.

"It's not like people say, 'Wow, high rank! That's a benefit.

You don't really feel it, do you? Are we strong enough to begin with?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

...... Don't just say things you can't deny. You can't help it. We're in the country. And Nao-san, Nao-san and the others are much stronger than the average adventurer.

"Is that so, ......?

Of course, I feel that I'm stronger than I was when I first came here, and I think I'm better than the adventurers who are guarding the woodcutter around here.

But I couldn't beat the bandit-like soldiers who attacked me when I was guarding the Iliad.

Even here in the Kingdom of Rhenium, I've heard that the national army soldiers are far more powerful than Viscount Nenus's territorial army. .......

I'm not sure what to make of it.

And it seems that it was the same for Haruka.

"Average, huh? That includes adventurers who take on day jobs, right?

No, no, that's not including those who don't fight at all.

So, if the strongest adventurer is 100 and the weakest is 1, where would you rank them?

.................. Three, no, twenty-five, maybe?

That's not strong at all!

This is the first time I've been able to do this.

No, you can't help it! The top level is really outrageous! That's why we have a rank evaluation system. That's why we have a rank evaluation system. If we simply ranked them by strength, they'd all be ranked one or two.

Hmmm, that certainly doesn't motivate me.

You know what I mean? You don't have to be strong to rise, and that's what the rank system is all about. Mary and Mitya are happy when their ranks go up, aren't they?

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I don't know. I don't really understand.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

I don't know. The adventurer who can earn money is different, after all. It's also important to note that the higher the rank, the more the client will pay, so it's usually important. For adventurers with no money.

The adventurer's rank indicates not only his combat prowess but also his trustworthiness to the adventurer's guild.

Therefore, in order to receive escort requests, you need to have at least rank 3, and in most cases, rank 4 or higher. The higher your rank, the more rewards you will receive for escorting.

In other words, if you are an adventurer who mainly does that kind of work, whether or not you gain one rank will have a big impact on your income.

--But for those of us who don't take escort requests, this is completely irrelevant.

Well, that's fine. I think it's time to raise your rank to six, because it's going to be a problem if you're still at rank five.

Is it bad?

Yes, a little. You still haven't taken on any work for the guild, but you've done a lot of dungeon diving and haven't caused any problems. Considering the benefits you are bringing to the guild.

It seems that there is a balance to be struck.

But then again, I've heard that high-ranked adventurers can compete with nobles to a certain extent.

There was a nobleman who messed with Haruka at Baron Daias's wedding, and even though Viscount Nenus blocked him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to be able to compete with him ourselves.

In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to pay off your debts.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Huh? Nao, are you getting interested?

The other day, at a wedding ceremony I was requested to escort by Ilias-sama, there was a nobleman who tried to touch Haruka. I thought it would be good to be able to fight back.

"Hmm. You are loved, Haruka-san.
