Congratulations on your alliance.

Shazar, who had moved to the side of Virum and the others with applause, smiled softly and said his congratulations.

From his expression and mood, one could tell that he was truly pleased.

''The alliance between Spirit-sama's village and the Dizenaire Demon Empire will have a positive impact on the surrounding countries as well. I, as a witness, am also pleased.

It's a bit too good to be true, considering that we had no choice but to follow the path of destruction at that point. Come to think of it, didn't Shazar-dono have some matters he wanted to negotiate with Shazar-dono?

''Yes, there was. But it's already my... or rather the goal of the Adventurer's Guild, but it's almost like it's been accomplished.

To him, as a master of the Adventurer's Guild, the terms of this alliance were something he wanted to accept with all hands, as it would not reduce the amount of rare materials in circulation and the number of adventurers who would waste their lives would be reduced.

As a half-elf, the existence of the spirit village was a matter of secrecy to him, but there was no denying it if those spirits wanted the existence of the village to be made public.

This is a condition that is only beneficial to the Adventurer's Guild in this matter, without needing to negotiate.

You can't help but say that it is greedy to hope for more benefits than this.

''I showed it to Hinori-sama, but I got my resignation before I came here. Here it is.

Saying that, Shazar pulled out of his pocket a piece of decorated and processed paper that he had shown Hinori in the previous battle.

On the paper, he said, "To give compulsory command authority over the adventurers who participated in the request of the Rastabel Empress," "To give them the responsibility to protect the spirits who are likely to be attacked by the Rastabel Army," and It was written, "Leave me in charge of negotiating with the spirits to connect with them."

At that time, the reason Hinori entrusted the treatment of the unit led by Larsen was to owe Shazar a debt of gratitude.

In short, it included the meaning of "In exchange for listening to your wishes, you should make concessions to give us an advantage when negotiating.

''Huh, the Adventurer's Guild Association has a bold declaration of intent.

''It's because in the process of investigating Larsen and the Rustabelle Empress Country, we found out that their goal was to capture the spirit-sama. They cited the fact that they were able to get acquainted with Hinori (spirit beast)-sama before and that they didn't have time to spare, so they induced me to be appointed as a negotiator.

Shazar is smiling as usual, but there seems to be something slightly black mixed in with his face.

Not a few of the soldiers were pulling faces, as if the faces of Dizenaire were also feeling it.

''...kohon. Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild can't hope for any more advantages, and we owe Hinori-sama a debt of gratitude for missing the lives of our adventurers.

Shazar, who noticed the slightly drawn gazes of those around him, cleared his throat shyly and continued to speak.

''So, this time, Virum-kun will be promoted to S-rank. The battle power that allows one person to compete with the army on a more than equal footing, the enormous magical power that can summon spirit beasts, and the firm bond with the spirits... all of which are worthy of being S-ranked.

The one in question, Virum, is listening silently, but the three spirit beast sisters who are standing behind him are nodding their heads in a good mood, perhaps happy that their proud younger brother (elder brother) has been recognized.

''Furthermore, the fact that they are willing to wholesale the rare materials of the Demon Mist Forest to the market, not to mention the Adventurer's Guild Association, will produce enormous profits for each country. There will be close to no one who will object to Mr. Wyrm's promotion to S rank.

Shazar's expression of 'close to none' is probably because of the people who are jealous of Vilm's ability to reach the S rank in a short period of time, and the people who were trying to win a mountain in the forest of demon mist.

''Yeah, yeah. You haven't even been an adventurer for so long and you've already become the best. I'm very proud of you too, sister.

Hinori, the earth is coming out.

"Hi, sis.

Uh-oh.

To Hinori, who was so happy that her normal tone came out unintentionally, Radia looked at Hinori as if she was dumbfounded, and Fumir looked at her as if he was looking at the poor guy.

Hinori, who probably thought he couldn't mend himself, pulled a face and froze.

'It's not that much to worry about, is it? They're not going to underestimate us just because of the tone of voice they use here. I hear I'm going to be an S-ranked person too, so from now on, I'll just have to behave as normal.

Although neither killing spirit nor intimidation was included, the Dizenaire men, whose memories were seared with Virum's demon god-like fighting style, nodded their heads together.

''Hmph, we were able to learn an unexpected side of Hinori-sama. Well, now that we've got the story safely settled, there's something I'd really like to ask of you, Virum-kun.

I... What?

As soon as Shazar, who had been silent in the air, put an end to the story that had been sidetracked, he started talking again.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

''I want you to think of a name for your village, Spirit-sama, as a country.

The name of the village?

Yes, it is. There will be some new countries that will form new alliances in the future. There will be some new countries in the future that will form new alliances, because many of them care about appearances. A country's name is what people will recognize as a "country."

Shazar-dono is right. We would prefer to call it by its proper country name and not the Spirit Village.

Bewildered by the unexpected request, Virum refuses to tell Shazar and Geord, "Give me a minute," and goes into a consultation with Hinori and the others.

'I think my name is ━━━━ of ━, but ━?

'Hmmm, isn't that more like ━━━━'s ━━━━━━━...?'

"Oh, that's ------. Oh, that's great... that's the Hinori way... the Hinori way.

'Huu agrees with ━━. I'm pretty sure he'd prefer the name ━━━━━.

'Yeah. Well, if that's what ━━━━ says, then maybe you should go to... ━━━━.

Surprisingly, the time was short.

After speaking a few words (or two or three) with Hinori and the others, Virum quickly turned around and stood in front of Shazar and the others once again.

''Guildmaster, it's decided,''

"...That was very fast. Now, could you tell me the name of your country?

Shazar, who had stepped on the fact that it was a country name and that it would take a long time, or if it was a long time, it would be at a later date, was a little surprised to prompt an answer.

''Servantil. Our country's name is Servantil Spirit Nation.''

Vilm smiled somewhat proudly as he mentioned the name of their country, which was about to begin a new path.
