29 Episode 29: Wang Du and S-Rank Adventurers

"I can see the king's capital."

When the leader speaks up, the adventurers who were escorting him at the same time look the other way.

"Is that the king's capital? I can only see the wall."

"You idiot, that's the Wall that protects the King's capital."

"Oh, really?"

Wang Du is the first adventurer. It conveys that the adventurers are excited.

"Has Mr. Liliera ever been to the King's Capital?

"Yeah, I've never been in the King's Capital before because I was working mainly around the town of Hexi. Where's Mr. Rex?

"It's my first time, too."

Yeah, it's the first king's capital in my next life.

So I'm pretty excited, too.

I wonder what the King's Capital is developing in this day and age.

◆

"Oh, this is the king's capital!

"Wow! There's a tea wreck and a shop full of them!

When we get to Wang capital, the adventurers who were accompanying us quickly raise their voices.

"I heard rumors, but it's actually amazing to see"

Mr. Liliera seems to be overwhelmed by the number of people in the King's capital.

"What do you say, brother, isn't Wang Du awesome?

Mr. Leader will speak to you from the top of your podium.

"Yeah, yeah, right"

"Hmm? You don't feel very surprised for that."

"No, I was just too surprised to have a voice."

"Ha-ha-ha, you bet. You bet!

And the leader laughs pleasantly, but to be honest, I wasn't too surprised.

Because the king's capital of this country wasn't as big as I thought.

In the memory of previous life and previous generations, the king's capital of the great powers was bigger and literally flooded with people.

But the king's capital of this country is much bigger than the king's capital of memories of the past.

Well, I'm not even willing to water everyone's emotions, so I'll shut up.

"Well, now that you're in the king's capital, you're done with your escort and your request. Look, it's a request accomplishment."

Mr. Leader will give us a piece of paper.

"Request Achievement?

"It's a piece of paper that proves that you have fulfilled your request. In the job that your client is doing, submitting this piece of paper completes your request and you get paid."

Liliera, resurrected from the emotion of coming to Wang Du, explains the request accomplishment.

"Heh, do you get that stuff"

"If we accomplish our normal request, we'll all get it, right?

"Well, I basically got paid for crusading demons and direct requests from guilds, so I didn't do anything to meet my client."

"That's unusual."

In that sense, the job of meeting your client is the first time you've asked for an escort.

"Thank you for everything. Not only did they save my life, but they even took care of the trouble we brought in."

The leader bows his head deeply.

"Hey, keep your head down!

The leader grabs Mr. Boz, who was nearby, and makes him bow his head.

"Shh, I'm sung up!

"No, never mind. I didn't do much."

"It may not have been a big deal for you, but it could have gotten rid of everything for us. It was just a big case. So I really appreciate it. This isn't a big deal, but thanks for saving my stupid son. Take it."

As such, Mr. Leader offered me a small crate.

"What's this?

"It's a magic item from our eyeball product. Open it."

"Father, is that true?!?"

Mr. Boz shouts his surprise when he sees the box handed to him by the leader.

Sounds like a pretty worthwhile thing.

"What is this..."

What was in the crate was a small pendant.

However, the pendant is not a free ornament.

Because there was a suspicious light coming out of the red jewels embedded in the center.

"Guardian's Talisman. It is a magical object that protects the life of its owner only once. Once upon a time, noble ladies and ladies defended their lives."

"Hey Dad, this is our eyeball product!? Are you sure you want to do this?!?"

"Let's fool around! We saved your life! On the other hand, I got stuffed until the end of the day. I haven't even given this back yet, you idiot!

"Aww!

Mr. Boz is being slapped in the head by the leader again.

"For that reason, don't hesitate to take it"

"... if that's the case"

I received my pendant without hesitation. [M]

"Then farewell here. We're gonna go get Keri, you idiot."

I guess what Mr. Leader is saying is about the magic grass.

If you don't complete it, your life is in danger, more than once you've been involved in the work of the back society.

That's why the leaders are headed to deliver the package they've received.

We can't get involved any more.

"Hey, are those people gonna be okay?

Liliera, who worried about Boz and the others, asks me.

"Well, you don't have to worry. What Mr. Boz asked for, whatever the contents, was because the job itself is delivery. Even the people on the other side won't do anything about a free haulier who doesn't know what's inside. Because whoever he is, if he's finished, there won't be anyone else to carry him."

"Is that what it is?

"Yeah, that's what it is"

Well, this is what I've heard from people in the back society I've known in my last life.

I won't get my hands on the cat unless I'm basically hostile.

If you get your hands on the snail poorly and take care of it, there is a great chance that the gendarmerie and the Knights will move out.

If that's the case, it would be better not to make a bad little noise.

Unlike robbers, villains don't strike indiscriminately.

"Well, then I guess you don't have to worry about it."

I'm glad Mr. Liliera's worries seem to have been resolved, too.

"Hey, are you guys going to the Adventurer Guild now?

And the adventurers who were escorting me with them speak up.

"Yes, I have a report of the request and a separate delivery."

I have to deliver a letter from Mirisha about the auction at the enchant plant.

"Well, we'll take the inn and take it slow today. I'll be looking for a job in Wangdu tomorrow, and I'll report back."

Then say goodbye to me.

"Oh."

That's what Liliera told the adventurers when we were about to break up.

"Hey, are you guys glad this thing ended that way?

"Is that how it ends?

"It's what caused the trouble the demons attacked. You were involved, weren't you?

That's how Mr. Liliera summons us to the corner of the road.

And I started talking about this matter in a low voice.

"We arrived safely in Wang Capital on this one, but you ended up carrying the example array. Besides, you're out of mosquito nets. I want to know what you think about that."

Ms Liliera asks them for their opinions on the magic grass.

Even so, what are you going to do by steaming that story back here?

"If that's the case, we didn't see anything."

"To see nothing?

Why again?

"That matter was out of our hands in the first place. If your brother hadn't been here, we would have died in the first raid."

"Yes, yes. That's why we didn't notice anything about it. I didn't even care what happened because I was focused on escorts."

Ooh... these people are good people.

Maybe Mr. Liliera worried that these people would try to tell someone about the demon grass.

But that worry seems to have been utterly worrying.

"Well, and because thanks to you guys, I took down more demons than usual and got tons of materials. I can't thank you enough for making an extra statement."

That said, the adventurers told me that there was no such thing as this one.

"If I make a loud noise and turn you against my enemies, that would be your life. Thank you for saving my life around the corner. Let me take care of it."

"Ha ha, that's right!

Having listened to those laughing adventurers, Liliera broke this story off just saying that she was satisfied or that she understood.

Good luck with that.

"Yeah, you're all good."

◆

"Is this the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild? Big."

"Well, it's bigger than the guild in Hexy Town."

Separating from the adventurers we traveled with, we continued to walk on a stroll through the Wang capital and finally discovered the Adventurer Guild.

The Wang Du Adventurer Guild is big and we are amazed at the size of nearly twice the town of Hexi.

When it's this big, I'm thrilled to see how many adventurers there are.

"Shall we come in then?"

"Yes."

We enter the Adventurer Alliance with excitement in our hearts.

◆

"Wow..."

"This is..."

When we entered the Adventurer Alliance, we were first surprised by the number of people.

I thought it would be a lot since I saw the building, but this is more than I expected.

"I can't believe it was so deep."

Yes, as Ms Liliera said, the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild was also wide in depth.

I thought it was about twice the Adventurer's Guild in Hexy Town, but would it be about four times as deep?

"And anyway, should I report on the achievement of the request at the desk?"

"Oh, yeah."

Excited by surprise, we head to the desk.

"There's a lot of contact points."

"That's a lot."

The building was huge, but the number of contact points was also high.

Is this about twice the town of Hexi?

And there were a lot of adventurers lined up.

◆

"Welcome to the Adventurer Alliance"

Line up and submit the request because our turn has finally come around.

"... Yes, I checked. So here's the reward."

After receiving the reward given to me by the receptionist, I will not forget to give the letter I left with Mr. Milisha to the receptionist.

"And this is from the Adventurer's Guild in Hexi Town."

"Accepted."

When the receptionist receives the letter, he flips the envelope and checks something.

"Is there no address? Let me take a look inside."

That's how when you open the envelope seal with a paper knife, you start reading the letter inside.

"… so far, we have confirmed the contents of the letter. Now that this case is complete, we will contact Mr. Rex."

"Thank you"

"Will Mr. Rex be staying in King's Capital for a while, as the letter says? Or can I get a request to stay in the vicinity of Wangdu? Once the auction is over while away from Wang Capital, the reward will be returned."

Oh, well, if you were away from town on an adventure, you wouldn't get a report.

"Okay. I haven't figured out what to do so far, so I'm going to look at the request board later and think about it."

"Was I? Fortunately, Wang Capital has more requests for A-rank than any other town, so the range of jobs that Mr. Rex will receive will also increase."

"Is that so much?

When I asked the question, the receptionist nodded with a sneer.

"Yes, there are many people in Wang Du, so many people apply for a request for it. The fact that there are many people means that there are so many different kinds of requests, from the F-rank, and that's why there are S-rank requests."

"S-Rank!?"

Speaking of S-rank, I mean the highest ranked adventurer among adventurers.

Wang Du also has such a request for adventurers.

"Could there be an S-rank adventurer in Wangdu?!?"

The receptionist also has a niggling grin.

"You two are in luck. There are a handful of S-rank adventurers staying in the capital right now."

"Oooh!

"I don't usually know where I am across many countries, but this time they came to my country because of work."

Oh! S-Rank Adventurer at work!

"I'm out of King's Capital at work today, but I think I'll be back in a few days."

Wow, I'm thrilled to have Mr. S-Rank Adventurer!

"That's exciting, Mr. Liliera!

"Huh? Really?

But for some reason, Liliera seemed uninterested in S-rank adventurers.

"Is that it? Doesn't Mr. Liliera get excited about S-rank adventurers?

"I'm nothing. Where the first S-rank adventurers were, we had nothing to do with it."

Clever opinion.

"Come on, let's go because it annoys the people waiting behind us even if we're chatting any more"

"Ah, yes."

Mr. Liliera rushed us away from the reception.

First of all, there's a real S-rank here, especially if you need to be surprised.

"Huh? Did you say something?

In the midst of a bustling guild with a large crowd of people, Mr. Liliera mutters something with Bosoli.

But the voice was small, and I could not hear it in my ear.

"Nothing."

◆

"Shall we look into the request tomorrow and find the inn later?"

And, Mr. Liliera proposes.

"Is that it? Don't you check the requisition board? I came to the Guild of the Horned King's Capital."

"I don't have a big job at this hour anyway. We need to secure the lodging first. Yeah, I'll tell you what, too cheap an inn is dangerous, so don't. 'Cause I'm gonna stay in a pretty good place."

"You didn't spend money on gear, but you spend it on inns?

That's a bit of an unexpected statement.

"Too cheap inns are susceptible to pick-ups and robberies. That's why I'm staying in an inn with minimal security, even if it's a little expensive."

So much so that you're defenseless while you're sleeping.

Speaking of defenseless......

"That's right, Mr. Liliera. I'll bring it up."

That said, I give Mr. Liliera the talisman I took out of the crate.

"Huh? This was earlier"

"Yes. I don't use it, so I'll raise it to Mr. Liliera

"Oh, I'll give it to you. Is this a magic item?"

Well, it is.

"I'm a little bit allergic to guys like me. I'll give it to Mr. Liliera."

That's how I try to give it to Mr. Lilliera, but Mr. Lilliera doesn't try to accept it.

"No, you can't! It's a magic item, isn't it? How much do you think it's gonna cost?

"How many do you want?

"Uh, uh, I don't know the exact amount, but even disposable is a magic item, so I'll do hundreds of gold coins!

"Hundreds of gold coins!?"

This!?

"No, no, you won't do that much no matter how many"

Because it's me, isn't it?

"What are you talking about? It's the price of a magic item. It would be fundamental to have a minimum level of 100 units of gold coins at the disposable level."

That's stupid, 'cause this is child protective equipment, right?

Because it's a babysitting magic item made to keep kids from getting hurt when their parents go somewhere in the gap where they look away.

How do you know that?

That's because I made it.

Well, even though I made it, that was me in previous generations.

My boss asked me to make it because your kids are going somewhere soon.

But I'm surprised this is coming back to me for the rest of my life.

'Cause this, instead of 100 gold coins, I can make it with about one silver coin.

If it's anything, you can make it now.

"Well, isn't that good? Besides, I want Liliera to use it. [M] Look, you look great on Mr. Liliera. This."

So I put a pendant on Liliera's neck with a gap. [M]

"You look great!?"

"You look great. Most importantly, if you can protect Mr. Liliera with something like this, it's cheaper than a few hundred gold coins."

"... I get it. Let me use it. I'm sure you'll need me more immature than you."

You didn't say that much, did you?

"At all, if they make this easy on me, I won't have this one in many ways."

"What do you mean?

"Nothing!

Mr. Liliera, who turned red in his face, suddenly runs out.

"Oh, wait. Hey!

"I won't wait. Yo!

I've been like that in my previous life, but women really don't know what they're thinking.

◆

"Well, this is my first request in Wang Du."

The next morning, we returned to the Adventurer's Guild in Wangdu.

"I wonder what kind of request I'll take"

"Well, since I don't know the geography and security of Wang Du, I don't think I should get a request for an escort in the city yet. If you're going to do it, would it be a request outside the King's Capital?

"Then is it a request for a crusade of demons?

"I mean, it's unusually common. Crusade request."

Sure, we look around the request board, but the majority of the request board was filled with crusade requests. I guess the rest is a little bit about escorts and permanent requests.

"And there are many types of demons. You don't have to call it any demon, but if you defeat demons near the king's capital properly, you'll be able to accomplish any request."

Yes, the more Mr. Liliera joked and said, the more requests for the crusade of demons.

"Get a proper B-rank crusade request. I wonder if the purpose is to understand the geography and demonic distribution around the King's Capital."

Is that how you collect information while making requests?

That's adventurer wisdom.

"Shall I make this request, then?"

At Liliera's suggestion, we decided to take a B-rank demon crusade request.

◆

"Cyclone Break!"

A minimally compressed small tornado hits a demon over the sky and is slammed down to the ground.

The demon that hit the magic has already run out and I will store the demon in a magic bag before the demon falls to the ground.

I kept shooting down demons with this repetition just now.

"Hmm, that's a lot of demons to say"

I groan at the demons I crusaded. [M]

"I knew you felt the same way?

"Yes, there were also many demons in the Warcraft Forest, but this is more than that"

We were searching the wilderness near Wangdu for crusading demons.

But while I was looking for demons, I couldn't find them because of all the demons that attacked me.

"It was all demonic, including the trees around it, so I guess it's an exception."

"Sure, there's a huge number of demons here, even though it looks wild, isn't there? Wyburn was delicious just now."

"... I just heard a remark I shouldn't have listened to so much."

Mr. Liliera turns this way with jito eyes as he dismantles the demon.

"Yeah, Wyburn, who had been hiding in the rocky shadows since earlier, was suddenly jumping up and attacking me, so I was shooting him down a little bit. Maybe there's a Wyburn nest around here."

"I heard an awesome noise from earlier, but that was what caused it!?"

Mr. Liliera looks at this one with a surprise look.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Was it loud?

Shit, was that in the way of the fight?

"No, thanks, that's good. But Wyburn is a subspecies of dragons, so even a B-rank party is a pretty tough one. How many did you take down?

"Uh, Wyburn is hi-humi... about 10 heads? You've got one more big head. I put it in a magic bag as soon as I knocked it down, so I didn't even confirm anything, but, well, it was a monster that wasn't a big deal."

"Hmm. I don't think so, maybe. Well, that's good."

Unchanted magic incinerates the body of the demon that Mr. Liliera disintegrates and no longer needs.

This is also part of the unchanging magic training.

"Since we just defeated all the demons to be crusaded, shall we return to the King's Capital?"

"Right."

When it gets too late, the gates of the King's Capital will be blocked from getting inside.

That's why we rushed back to the King's Capital.

◆

When we return to the Adventurer Alliance, we notice a strange noise in the Alliance.

"Is something wrong?

I thought so and looked around and saw a crowd in the corner of the reception.

"What is that?

As I approached the crowd, I noticed a large demon body on the Alliance floor.

"Oh, it's Wyburn."

Yes, it was Wyburn's body that was placed on the floor of the guild.

That's not just one head, either. Would there be about 10?

"It's awesome. That's an S-rank."

"S-Rank?

The conversation between the adventurers who were nearby got to my ears, and I raised my voice unexpectedly.

"Did the S-rank adventurer crusade that Wyburn?

"Hmm? Yeah, they do. The S-rank adventurer, Roddy, the leader of the adventurer party, said Cyclone had crusaded that Wyburn herd."

Whoa, the S-Rank Adventurer Party is here!

"They can't get into a party unless the majority of their members are A-ranked and at least B-ranked."

Heh, that feels exactly like a high-ranking party.

"Oh, look, isn't he Roddy?

A blonde adventurer shows up from behind the guild.

"He's an S-rank adventurer..."

S-rank adventurer Roddy wears silver, brilliantly decorated armor.

Plus the sheath of the sword and the decoration of the feathered cape are amazing.

It's going to cost a lot of money.

S-rank adventurers are also concerned with appearance.

And from behind Mr. Roddy, many beautiful women represent themselves.

They're all dressed in armor and robes, so I'm sure those people are Mr. Roddy's party members.

"Oh, that's S-rank. That's S-rank, too."

"Ha ha, you can't let a beauty like that samurai even if Temee is S-ranked"

"Shut up."

There's no need for adventurers to do that.

In fact, they're all amazing beauties.

"Hey, let's just go to reception"

If Roddy and the others had blinded me, Liliera would have pulled my arm a lot.

"Oh, excuse me"

"Damn, I'm deleading to another woman."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing! Here, come on."

For some reason, the prickly and angry Mr. Liliera took us to the reception.

"Excuse me, please confirm your crusade request"

"Okay. So can you put the material on this appraisal bench?

"" "" Whoa!! ""

And suddenly I hear cheers from the side.

"What is it?"

If you look at it, S-rank adventurer Roddy was raising his arm to heaven to declare something.

"Everyone, this Wyburn is an appetizer. What we're after is Kaiserhawk's crusade, the Lord of the Wilderness, an S-ranked demon who's suddenly nestled in the wilderness!

"" "" Oooh!! ""

Kaiserhawk, he's definitely an ultra-large eagle demon, dozens of times the size of a regular eagle.

Besides, he's not just big, he's a rough guy who eats big demons like Wyburn and fights with dragons.

"But it's funny, Kaiserhawk shouldn't show up anywhere near people."

Oh, is that why Mr. Roddy came to defeat Kaiserhawk?

Surely from the general public, demons fighting dragons are dangerous.

I'm sure it doesn't matter how strong the demon is for Mr. Roddy.

Any demon fights for everyone's peace.

You're thinking about people who can't fight like the Great Swordsman Rygaard!

"So rest assured everyone! In a few days, we Cyclones will defend the King's capital from the threat of Kaiserhawk!

"That's good, Roddy!

"I'm counting on you, s langu!

Everyone is very excited about Mr. Roddy's declaration.

"Excuse me, can you put out the material and wear it?

And the receptionist noticed me from behind.

You shouldn't, I was obsessed with listening to you.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry"

I take crusade material out of my magic bag.

"Oh, yeah. I also defeated demons other than the crusade, so can you please buy them with demolition?

"Understood."

"I won't be on the appraisal bench, so I'll leave you on the floor"

I'm leaving the Wyburn I just defeated on the floor. [M]

Line up with two of them, and finish lining up all the demons.

"Oh, man. Isn't that Wyburn?

"Isn't that what S-Rank took down?

For some reason, the adventurers around me are looking at this one and bothering me.

"Heh, are there other parties besides us that can hunt Wyburn? The adventurers in this country are pretty good at it, too."

And Mr. Roddy, who was just over there, came this way.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Anyone can hunt if it's about Wyburn, right?

"You guys knocked him down?

"Yes. We sniped up where we jumped off the rocks."

Describing what happened when I shot Wyburn down, Mr. Roddy nodded as impressed.

"Heh, it's usually something to crusade before you jump up, but I see the moment you jump up and change direction, you aimed at the moment when that speed drops. That's an unusual way to beat them."

"Oh, thank you"

I really just shot him off appropriately...... no kidding?

Well, this guy sees me take down Wyburn, and he tells me there's a way to take him down!

You mean more efficient ways to fight and fight for a variety of situations!

That's Mr. S-Rank Adventurer!

"Well, but it's not much to force. If you're overconfident in your abilities, any adventurer will die in no time."

"Okay, Mr. Roddy!

"Huh, an honest boy"

That's S-Rank Adventurer. No shards of alarm!

"Um..."

And the receptionist who was doing the appraisal there talks to me.

"Yes, what is it?

"Well, that's the body of this demon..."

And the receptionist pointed his finger at the body of the last demon I crusaded.

You don't remember what you defeated because you packed it properly.

Um, this guy...

"Ko, is this!?"

"Oh, hey, I can't believe it."

"You're lying!?"

Mr. Roddy starts shouting surprises and the adventurers around him start bluffing.

"Ah, it's Kaiserhawk. You were in the Wyburn that you shot down earlier."

I thought there was only one big guy in the woods.

Could it be that Wyburn was in the rocks, hiding from this guy?

Well, the details, okay? It's Wyburn and Kaiserhawk.

"Then buy this too, please"

"" "" Is that just the reaction - whoa!? ""

For some reason, I get total clinging from everyone around me. [M]
