My name is Claude. He is the slave of Jen, my husband.
He now works as a B-rank adventurer, focusing on Quindam, the king's capital of Queen Castar.
When it comes to B-rank adventurers, they are also called advanced adventurers, and they need to go beyond the tough exams to reach them. Of course, there are rewards commensurate with the struggle, and they are treated very differently than below the C-rank. Sometimes they are treated equally to nobility in some places.
I've only been called to a party hosted by a nobleman once, too, and I remember how uncomfortable it was. The food that came out is also many times better than that made by Senior Mio and the mansion cook......
I've talked a little bit about it, but to say I'm a B-rank adventurer if I'm meant to be, I can't be a slave. Naturally, because it's usually impossible to treat slaves equivalently to nobility.
So how could a slave of a child like me (12 years old) have become a B-rank adventurer?
I'm not going to go into detail about that on this occasion, but simply put, "thanks to Jen". My husband is out of standard...
"Once you have successfully requested a B-rank or higher, you will be granted permission to establish a clan"
I told Jen that the establishment of the clan was imminent. [M]
"That was faster than I thought."
When I say clan, it's one of the forms of a group of adventurers, and it becomes a larger group than a party. If I say so, I mean the faction/regiment of adventurers.
I have been ordered by Jen to build a clan and become the leader of that clan. There are a number of conditions for making a clan, but we've already met most of them.
Later, the only remaining condition is to successfully request a certain number of B-ranks. Simply put, it means we don't have enough track record.
We become B-rank adventurers and the sun is shallow, so it's natural in a way.
"Coco and Rollo were straining..."
"Well, I'll have to compliment you next time."
"I think we'll both be happy"
Coco and Lolo are my fellow girls and have publicly stated that they love Jen.
They want Jen to praise them, but they're getting more B-rank requests than any other member. If I knew I could get compliments, I'd be thrilled.
"And we've successfully made sure that requests above B-rank are uninterrupted on the 'Portal'"
"Well, of course it's sooner than planned."
Nodding as Jen was convinced.
To say a B-rank request is naturally not comparable to a C-rank or lower request is dangerous or difficult.
Think normally, there's no way there's a ton of such requests left. If there are guilds left with a large number of requests above the B rank, I think it's okay to say that the vicinity is a critical situation.
Therefore, it is customary to refer to the number of B-rank requests achieved as the most difficult conditions for the establishment of a clan.
But we wanted to make a clan as soon as we could, so we decided to cheat a little.
It's an out of common sense cheat that ordinary people can't use Sakura-sama's metamorphotic magic of "portal" to move around and look for requests above the B-rank...
Of course, I'm hitting a lot of hands so I don't find out, but it's dangerous to use too much, so this is the first and last time.
"Yes, and I'm looking to get my last B-rank request. They say it's" Vampire Exorcism. "
"Wow..."
Master Jen looks delicate. Is something wrong?
"What's wrong with you?
"No, it's not a big deal. In the Kingdom of Estea, we were also asked to get rid of vampires."
"Oh, speaking of which, I remember Senior Serra telling me. Yes..., Mira was a vampire too, wasn't she?... request, should I say no?
Mr. Mira is Jen's submissive vampire. I've seen him train as a maid at Castar's mansion. That......, she was a very big breasted woman.
It wouldn't feel good for Mira if we crusaded the same vampires as ourselves.
"Well, you don't mind. Ask Mira just in case......" Sammon, "Mira."
"Aah!?
Jen used "Sammon," the magic of invoking his subordination, to invoke Mira in maid clothes. As always, Jen is free, isn't he?
"Master? What can I do for you? Suddenly calling?
"I wanted to ask Mira something. It seemed faster to summon him than to read."
Anyone in this mansion knows that Jen is free, so Mira doesn't raise any particular protest either.
"So, what do you want to hear?
"Yeah, it's like Claude fights vampires on a B-rank request, but what do you think as Mira?
"Are you a vampire? Please keep doing it. It's not worth living for a bad vampire."
Mira says it lightly like it's nothing. I'm a vampire myself......
"Mira is an ex-human. The vampires made me a vampire even though I didn't want to."
"It's..."
I read my thoughts, Jen adds. I didn't hear the details, so I didn't know that far.
If you've been turned into a vampire regardless of your will, then it's natural that you don't feel homosexual about vampires. Not to mention if it's the vampires that did it, there's no reason to resent them.
"That's the thing. You don't have to worry about getting rid of vampires."
"Okay. Thank you for your concern."
"Good luck with that. I'm here for you. Oh, will you let me talk to you in detail after you defeat me?
"Yes. Okay."
"Please, hey"
Mira, you really don't like vampires...
The next day, four of us, Coco, Sicily and Julia, headed to the Adventurer Guild to receive a request for a vampire exorcism.
Knott, Adele, Rollo, and Illis are in the middle of another request, so they won't join this one.
In the beginning, the eight of us were mostly asked to do it together, but these days we've also been acting quite a bit differently. Well, only Sicily is with Coco all the time.
When we arrive at the Adventurers Guild, we take a B-rank request "Vampire Exorcism" form to the receptionist.
"Oh, Mr. Claude, are you going to take my request for a vampire exorcism?
"Yes, as long as we can accomplish this request, we can set up a clan. Let me do my best."
"Nice to meet you. The guild leader will explain the details…"
"Okay."
I head to the reception room as the receptionist guides me.
After a while, the guild leader arrived.
"Sorry I'm late."
"No, it's okay"
"All right, let's try to explain the request in more detail soon."
"Please"
With that said, the guild chief widened the map he had.
Apparently, it's a map around Kastal.
"First of all, there's a vampire in the woods, south of the king's capital Quindam, on the way to the Kingdom of Estea."
"Here, it'll take you about three days in the carriage"
Yulia calculates the approximate travel time from the distance on the map.
To be honest, there's a 'portal' nearby, so if that bothers you, you can go on a day trip.
"Well, you did keep the carriage, didn't you?
"Yes, I bought it when it got B-rank."
"Not too expensive, though."
Sicily and Coco are right, we also bought a cheap carriage when we got to B-rank.
When it comes to B-ranks, because the range of action expands rapidly, and I struggle not to have one of the carriages, it's because I was asking Mr. Kuga, the A-rank adventurer. Mr. Kuga is a solo activity, so I hear he travels on horses, not carriages...
"So what's going on with that vampire damage?
"Um, that's..."
Guild leader reluctant to answer my question. I guess a significant number of people have already been harmed.
"There are 0 victims in the general population."
"" "" Yes?
Everyone raises questions about unexpected answers.
"The average person said no one was dead. Apparently, that vampire is not interested in killing ordinary people. So far, a bunch of B-rank adventurers have been challenged, but they all get paid back, and many of them come back alive. I heard from them that they had stood square and square in the front and challenged the fight."
"Are you square......?
Words came up that were roughly unworthy of use against demons.
"Oh, raise your name before the battle, and tell those who don't fight to back down. Of course, we don't imitate things like not fighting."
"You're really square."
"They'll let you get away with it on the spot if you surrender to it. A few adventurers who chose to fight to the end are dead..."
Think normally, there will be nothing but death if you lose the battle against the demons.
Losing to a B-ranked demon opponent, but being able to survive if you surrender, is a broken treatment.
"I just told you I wouldn't fight, but I'm going to attack you with no mercy for anyone who attacks you later. Even in that case, there are a few dead."
"Well, if you defiled the battle of squareness, then you'd be angry"
"If you're proud of the fight, I guess so. From the above, this vampire has the impression of being a" battle freak, "or a" seeker. "
"Right."
"Right."
He's a vampire, so it would be advantageous in the dim woods.
You wouldn't choose to challenge the battle from the front without surprise in that situation unless you were the one who wanted the battle itself.
"But it's practically harmless, but just saying vampires doesn't make a difference to dangerous things. The neighbors have asked me to get rid of them."
"Is that it? Isn't that a crusade?
"It's a demon, isn't it? I know if you want to get rid of wildlife..."
Coco and Mr. Yulia raise their doubts to the words of the guild chief.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? Sometimes they say that no harm has been done to the general public, and this time it's okay to 'crusade' or 'drive away'."
Apparently, adventurers are not included in the damage. That's intelligent.
Well, until then if I say self-blame......
Because if I had some strength, I would have had the hand to identify the difference in strength and surrender early.
"How can I prove it if I get rid of it?
Yulia makes a sharp point.
Sure, in the case of crusades, I can check with the guild card, and I can show you the body, but it's very difficult to prove if you choose to 'get rid of' it.
"Well, there will only be direct visual confirmation by guild officials. In the first place, this request was made in an Adventurer's Guild near the woods. But the B-rank near the village came up to King's Capital because of its total annihilation. I want you guys to crusade vampires and go to that village after you get rid of them. If you crusade, you show the body, if you chase it away, the Alliance staff is supposed to go to the woods to confirm it."
"Not to mention after the reports, isn't it dangerous to send Alliance officials to the woods? Vampires may be returning..."
"Claude, you're right, I think 'getting rid of' is temporary. What's going on around there?
In response to my question and that of Mr. Julia, the guild chief nods.
"That's what the vampire said." If you have a good fight and your opponent wants it, I'll leave this forest. "
"Oh..."
"That's outrageous..."
"So you said you wouldn't have to defeat a vampire, if you fought a battle that vampires admit, you'd leave yourself?
The guild leader nodded heavily at my confirmation. [M]
"Um, that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't have swallowed that argument, but there were zero victims other than adventurers for how many minutes. It's my instinct, but I don't think it's a lie.... Besides, it's better to make it conditional on getting rid of it. Don't lower the asking fee."
"Do you mean adult circumstances..."
"Adults are filthy..."
Yulia and Coco show disgust at adult circumstances.
It seems that "get rid of it, but it's okay" makes the terms easier and the asking fee goes down than "be sure to kill it".
In the end, a vampire just goes elsewhere, and it hasn't been a fundamental solution.
"Okay. I'll actually think about crusading or getting rid of it after I see you. If the Alliance staff is going to the woods, we just need to escort them."
"Um, Regards"
He then asked a number of questions and decided to leave where some information had been gathered.
"Be careful."
"Good luck. Mr. Claude!"
"Come on in!
"Yes, I'm coming"
We left Quindam, the king's capital, while the guild chief and the receptionists dropped us off.
By the way, the receptionists are here to drop me off, so I hear the Adventurer Guild business is behind schedule.
Then three days later, he arrived in the city where he made a request for a vampire exorcism.
I'm not using the 'portal', and I can't help but take some time.
The city was usually busy and it didn't seem like a mighty vampire lived in a nearby forest.
It seems true that there is no real harm. Still, I guess it's an unsettling thing to have a presence nearby that can easily harm ourselves.
Be the first to head to the City Adventurers Guild and tell them you've been asked to get rid of vampires.
When you enter the Adventurer Alliance, the adventurers look surprised, as usual. I always get tangled up by adventurers when I go to a strange city. You have no choice, do you?
The women are used to it, and they don't seem to care about the gaze of other adventurers.
"I came to this city on request. This is a B-Rank Adventurer Alliance Card and Request Form."
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
"Nice to meet you ~ Su"
Only at times like this can I just present my identity.
Present the guild card for four and the requisition form to the receptionist.
"Are you Mr. Claude, the youngest B-rank adventurer famous in Wang Du?!?
"Yes, I'm going to join my people to exorcise or get rid of vampires."
"Good luck."
The receptionist's sister shouts her surprise when she sees the guild card.
The truth is that the receptionist shouldn't divulge information about the adventurer, but I'll forgive him this time by saying he's in restraint to his surroundings.
The adventurers around us bothered, but it doesn't feel like they're thinking about giving us a hand.
In fact, you don't want any more trouble because you've been tangled up so many times before and beaten the adventurer you've been attacking the other way around, you even got a weird nickname for 'Rookie Crush (Rookie Killer Killer)'.
Safely, the report is over. I'm heading out of town.
"That's crazy. I thought Claude would be involved..."
"No, Coco. Because you don't get tangled up again and again, do you?
"Claude, you'll get involved."
"No, so..."
"I think this is a rare case."
"... that's enough"
It hurt a little.
