59 Episode 47 seems to follow.

I was promoted to fourth grade. It was the same every day that I received a request from the union and earned money.

It was more realistic than when I was in fifth grade, and I was able to get more difficult jobs, but there was no change in the flow (routine) itself.

However, when I went back to my place of residence, I could say that one of the big changes was that Cunei would welcome me with a smile. When I returned to the clinic, her presence saying, "Welcome home" was my healing and a great motivator.

There were other changes around Cunei than me.

The number of mercenaries using the clinic is higher than before.

The cut is still that fourth-grade promotion exam.

In that exam, besides those with deep leg injuries, there were also those with hand injuries. Each and every one of them is not so threatening as to be indifferent to the many. He was not rejected, but was nevertheless told harsh words by his supervisor, the second class mercenary.

Cunei's skill in rapidly treating wounded mercenaries was then passed down and gained a reputation within the mercenary union. Thanks to this, the clinic is thriving.

Nevertheless, it is not only the doctor's arm that has gained a reputation. Cunei is a former luxury whore. Some of them were extremely rich, but some of those who tried to buy Cunei were in the mercenary union, and some of the more advanced mercenaries actually revealed themselves to her overnight.

Few visited the clinic because of her beauty. There must have been some people who couldn't help thinking.

However, this did not cause so much trouble.

The reason is that Cunei knew Mikage.

Sometimes I forget, but the original Mikage is a tough mercenary for both of us. At least when you're talking to me. Thanks to her being the backbone, Cunei is confident that she is dedicated to the work of the clinic.

And the second big change that happened around me ─ ─.

On that day, I received a request to "exterminate the Urban Beast."

Mercenary work is extremely common. On the contrary, it was a job that always followed me beyond being a mercenary.

I left King's Landing after careful preparation as usual.

"Come on, Yukina-sama. Keep up the good work today!

"Why are you so healthy?

To the inspiring mica, I returned a dazed voice.

This is not the first time I've followed her, as a matter of course. I've already made several requests since I was promoted to Grade 4, but there's a good chance that Mikage will accompany me.

It is not uncommon for mercenaries to recruit and operate companions. Rather, the higher the rank, the more often you work with someone to make a request.

Some of the Grievers have much tougher bodies and giants than humans. It is also a good idea to challenge them individually. When dealing with an evil beast in his hand, teaming up with an ally (party) is a steady stone.

Nevertheless, many of the Grieves that can be fought up to the fourth level can be defeated individually. You don't have to make friends.

This request is one of them. As long as I am not alarmed, I can accomplish it without any problems with my current abilities.

And yet, when you're a lizard.

"If you're one of us, you deserve to go with us."

... speaking of which, I suppose you did.

A little while ago, Mikage said, "Put yourself down! I said something terrible, so I said," Let's start with my friends. "But I completely forgot about Cunei and the promotion exam.

In addition, it is not forbidden for mercenaries of another rank to work together to make a request. However, lower-ranking mercenaries cannot take orders from a higher rank than themselves. In other words, mercenaries of higher rank must inevitably make low-ranking requests.

If the fourth-class mercenaries were to join hands with the third-class mercenaries as backup to make a fourth-class equivalent request, we would still know. For me and Mikage, Grade 4 and Grade 2. There are two different ranks of mercenaries.

Shut up, the lizard doesn't taste good at all.

If she's going to make a fourth-grade offer to match me, it would definitely be better for her to take a third-grade offer alone.

Ask her about it at the beginning when she told me that she would follow.

"I'm not as troubled as I am in monetary terms. If you've earned so far, you'll have a few years of savings if you just live a normal life."

"Ofuu... that's a Class 2 mercenary."

─ ─ I was recessed when I was subtly declared rich.

Isn't that right, buddy? I don't need a lizard, at least not in case it happens. Anyway, my current partner (...) is so skilled that he can't win. "

"Ghahhh...."

Gram's words beat me even harder.

I could earn quite a fortune if I worked hard. Being a second class mercenary is a good amount of money you can earn with a single request. There are a lot of dangerous requests, but it's just right to call it a thousand taels.

It made me miserable, economically and capably inferior to women.

No, Mikage is senpai as a mercenary, and as a martial arts artist he has been engaged in tough training since childhood. It's obvious that it's inferior, but it's a little hard for someone close to your age to be on top of you a few steps.

Of course, Gram's words make sense.

I don't think there's anything like a Stampede runaway anymore, but it wouldn't be so comfortable if Mikage-sized people were together.

That's all, I'm good at advising (advising) heroes, but as a mercenary, I think Mikage is better at advising than I am. If you're going to go higher than you are now, tell me a lot. "

Oh, I didn't think of that.

After recovering from the mental damage, I told Mikage that Gram's suggestion would follow me anyway.

─ ─ So what do you think?

"I was going to refrain from overdoing it, but it would be cheap to do so. I am still immature, but I will do my best."

That is why an unbalanced and strange combination of fourth-class mercenaries and second-class mercenaries emerged.
