13 Episode 13 There was a strange request.




The Adventurer's Guild is a building that looks like a government office, and the reception counter is divided into two sections: "Orders/Achievement Reports/Materials Purchase" and "Procedures (New Adventurer Registration, Party Registration, etc.)".

The one that doesn't report orders/accomplishments or buy materials seems to be organized in a very messy way. ...... Considering how often it's used, I guess this division is appropriate.

With this in mind, I approached the counter to register as a new adventurer.

But .......

"Hey ......, that's a wise guy, right?
"Wow, I've never seen ...... before.

Because of my hair color, I suddenly stood out.

...... Hmmm, I guess that's what happens.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
The existence itself is also rare, so it naturally attracted attention.

If she had kept her black hair, this wouldn't have happened, but ...... I didn't dare take that option.

The reason is that it is more convenient for a wise man to register as an adventurer while revealing that he is a student of the Academy of the Elite.

First, the reason for revealing your identity as a student of the elite academy when you register as an adventurer.
This is because, as an elite student, you can show your student handbook and start at the middle rank of C, instead of the lowest rank of F.

There is no way not to take advantage of this.

And the reason why he keeps his blond hair, which means he is a wise man, is because if he changes his hair back to black and acts as a student of the elite academy, he might get into trouble.

If there is an elite student who is a tamer, it will definitely be a topic of conversation, and if the rumor reaches the elite academy, there will be a lot of confusion.
In addition, in the worst case, even the forgery of the student handbook would not necessarily be suspected.

You can prove a false accusation,......, but even so, you don't want to risk being treated like a criminal, even if it's only for a time.

So I decided to be a wise guy, even if it meant standing out a bit.



As the adventurers looked at me, I approached the receptionist at the procedures counter.

I'd like to register as an adventurer.

Sage ...... Oh, excuse me! Adventurer registration, yes, sir.

The receptionist looked at my hair and froze for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and proceeded.

Please fill out this form.

I wrote my name, age, ...... and the name of the school I was attending on the form.

When I finished, I handed the form back to the receptionist.

It's ready.

"Okay, thank you. ......, huh? Are you an elite student of the academy? I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

The receptionist's eyes are black and white.
It seemed as if the situation would continue for a long time,......, but after a few seconds, the receptionist hurriedly asked, "What can you prove?

Do you have something to prove your identity?

I showed the receptionist my student handbook.

"Here it is.

This is the student handbook of the ...... Elite Academy. Thank you very much.

The receptionist went back to the back, did some work and came back to the counter with a ......1 card.

This is a guild card, and it will allow you to start as a C rank adventurer. Here is your guild card, so make sure you don't lose it.

"Understood. Thank you very much.

The receptionist handed me the card, and I put it in my storage spell.

That's it, registration is complete.
The next step is to look for a good request on the request board.


The request is for the lowest level of F



There was a wide range of requests, from the lowest F-rank to the second highest A-rank.
It seems that there are no S-rank requests in this town.

Now, I can take up to C-rank requests solo, but ...... this is my first time in a guild, so I might as well look through all the requests from F to C.

Let's see. ......

I was able to get a general idea of what to expect when I skimmed through them.
The lower the rank, the more requests for gathering, and the higher the rank, the more requests for killing and guarding.

Well, that's reasonable.

There were no notably interesting requests in the F to D ranks, so I decided to look carefully at the requests of the C rank, which was the same as mine.

So far, there was not a single request for gathering.
I almost thought so, but ...... I found one exception in the corner.

It was this request.

---------- -- ------------------------
Collecting Lunar Metal
Rank: C
Request: Pick up the Lunametal Ore that has fallen at the foot of the mountain. Buy it for 200 zols per gram.
---------- -- ------------------------

For a moment, I thought it was a bad joke.

It's also questionable that it's a C-grade request for a harvesting request, but that's understandable.
The reason is that it is possible that the area where it is possible to collect is a dangerous area where demons that are beyond the control of beginners appear.

Even if that's not the case, it's also possible that the terrain and environment are so extreme that only an intermediate player with the ability to deal with them can reach the location.

But that's not the problem with .......
I've never heard of such an ore as Lunametal, even in my previous life.

It's the kind of request that makes you wonder if it's a prank. ...... The request has the guild's seal on it.
Therefore, it must be a legitimate request.



...... I should accept this request.

So I picked up the form for the Lunar Metal collection request.

There's one reason.
This request is perfect for me.

If there are powerful demons around, I can leave them to Caucasus and Belzebub, and concentrate on gathering them.

Even if it's a problem of terrain or environment, I can do it easily if I go straight to them with a muscle dungeon.

Considering that a meal at a cheap restaurant costs about 1,000 sols, 200 sols per gram is a good price, depending on how often you find it.


How could I not accept such a request that seemed to be made just for me?

I lined up at the reception counter with a request form in my hand. ...... When it was my turn, I told the receptionist that I wanted to receive the order.

Then the receptionist saw me and rolled her eyes.
Then she said .......

You are really going to order "Lunar Metal Harvesting"? This request ...... has sent many adventurers home with serious injuries. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
