'It's such a hassle being an adventurer that you have to go up to F. Why don't you get it all the way up to E?

'Well, it's the rules. Are you sure Noll is okay with this?

I'm fine now!　I'm curious to see Estelle use her magic.

　The next day, I decided to go to the Adventurer's Society early in the morning to make a request. It was to see Estelle's magic and to increase her rank.
　I thought about asking Noll to rest, but he wanted to come with me because he wanted to come.

''Oh my, do you feel like you're expected to?　I'm going to stick with this one. Hmmm, let's try a big one.

Just be normal, Miss Esther, really, please.

　He proudly holds up his long cane and looks a little proud of himself.
　Don't let a guy who can submerge an entire city under water, because there's no telling what will happen if he gets serious. If he has an explosion spell or something like that, the aftermath could blow us all up.

But you don't need a new pair of glasses to have a makeover, do you?

It's a different story, isn't it? It makes you look more intelligent.

　I'm wearing my glasses now. I'm not blind and I don't have degrees in them.
　This is the SSR that came out of the gacha, monitor glasses. With these glasses, I can check the images on my phone's screen.

　------
Monitor glass
Slightly naughtier glasses. We can project your smartphone screen here.
　------.　

　The phone has a hole in my pants right now, and I'm pointing it at the camera looking out. Now I can check my status without them noticing.
　My equipment has also been upgraded by changing my armor and stacking my Excalibur and pot lid.

　　------
Excalibur☆6
Attack +990
Action speed +75%.
Pot Lid*3
Defense +350
Adamant Armor
Defense +500
　　------　

　Hmmm, that's a lot better. It's just that I look like a pervert in armor and sneakers with a crowbar and a pot lid.

"Oh, we've got goblins and orcs coming right away.

　When we arrived near our usual forest, we were immediately greeted by a demon. It's a bit pathetic to think that I'm about to fall prey to Esther.

''Well then, let's go. Eh~

　She waves her wand with a loose, distracted voice. Then a gray magic circle appeared around her, and there was a clunk.
　And the upper body of the orc and the head of the goblin that was coming towards us were crushed and shredded and scattered as if pushed by something. The remaining bodies then fell down without power and turned into drop items.

''Hee!　It's grotesque....

Hey, hey, Estelle. Couldn't you have something a little more modest?

　The Noll next to me sounds frightened. I want to tsk, you do the same thing, you do it all the time. I agree that it's gross, though.
　But still, what kind of magic was that? The top half of the orc's body was blown up while it was crushed backwards, but I didn't see anything.

'Mmm, this is still modest with wind magic. Oh, how about this then?

　Additional demons emerged from the forest.
　She waved her wand in another distracted voice, and this time something liquid-like began to gather in front of the magic circle.
　The moment the liquid became the size of a marble, it was shot out at the orcs with great force, punching more than a dozen wind holes in their bodies and killing them.

''........what was that?

Isn't it great?　I condensed the water and shot through it. I could cleave and slash it.

Everything is possible, isn't it?

　He proudly stretches his absent chest and smiles his best smile. It's great, but it's great...but it's really anything but.
　



























































































































"Hey, what's that?

Oh, that's a red oak!　Rare is rare!　It's extremely rare!

　Multiple demons flew out from the depths of the forest. Leading the way was a full-body red orc.
　Noll saw them and waved his hands in excitement. Is this guy that rare? I'm sure I didn't see one when I was collecting the magic stone.

"I don't think it was possible, but that one too...

Yes, sir!　It's also said to have three times the attack power of normal. It is dangerous to approach it.

　If it's red, does everything triple in this world?　Let's check the status app for now.

　------
Red Orc Species:Orc
　Level: 30
　HP: 10,000
　MP:0
　Attack power:1500
　Defensive Power:300
　Agility:10
　Magic Resistance:0
　No inherent ability
　No skills.
------

　Talk about expensive, but that's not a big deal to us right now. But is it still dangerous for Esther to be at a lower level?
　Let's finish them off here with Nol and I - that's what I thought.

　Me and Noor hold our weapons at the ready to take on the running orcs. But suddenly a tornado appears and swallows the orcs, sending rocks flying from around them and sucking them into the wind.
　After a while, the tornado disappears to reveal a red orc with its arms and legs bent in a different direction and gouged out in all the right places. Then, without moving, it turned into a drop item.

''........Hey, what are you doing?''

'What?　Is there something wrong with you, brother?　You've brought something weird into this, what is that?

"When I'm fighting as the vanguard, I'm asking you not to get involved...

　The Red Oak was processed by Esther without being noticed. She looks curious when she realizes we're stunned.
　Unlike Noor, she's going to be flabbergasted in another way, and I'm starting to get a bit of a headache.

●

''Hmmm, that's an F grade for me too. Well, let's get an E grade next time.

　He took the certificate of defeat, and Esther returned with a green plate, the proof of F rank.

'Well, wait, that's a story for another time. But more importantly, I have one suggestion for you, okay?

Mmm. What is that?

What is it, sir?

'Actually, you know, I think I'd like to go to Sting. You can take Esther's E rank in King's Landing. You'll probably get more requests there than here.

　Most of the requests to take down with a client are usually in some other village or other remote location. And since there aren't that many requests, it's also delicate to wait for those requests to come in.
　So I think I'd rather take this opportunity to go to the capital. I'm sure there are plenty of requests over there, and above all, I'm interested in the labyrinth.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. I want to go to a place called the labyrinth.

I'll be fine too!

'Right, so let's spend the rest of the day thinking about how to get to Sting.

　First of all, I don't even know which direction Sting is in. If I were to go there, I'd have to start gathering information.
　The map app doesn't remember the map until you go once, so it's a bit useful the first time around, only to find enemies.

'I wonder if there's a carriage to Sting or something?　I don't want to walk.

That's right. It's a long trip, and I think it will take quite a few days to get there on foot.

　Carriages. I didn't know that was even possible. There is such a thing, isn't there?
　We've been thinking about going on our own, but maybe we can rely on others.

Hmmm, I suppose so. Well, let's just look for a carriage.

●

Welcome.

Excuse me, do you have a carriage for the Sting?

　We talked to people in town and came to a shop that said there was a carriage going to Sting.
　As we enter, we are greeted by a young woman. I guess every shop has a young woman as a receptionist.

Thank you, sir. But as far as going to Sting is concerned, the flight will take place in 5 days, is that all right?

　Five days. I thought I could go tomorrow if I hired them, but I guess not.
　If it's fixed, does that mean we'll be going with several cars at once?

Yes, that's it, please.

Please check here. When you've reviewed it, you'll need to sign this form.

　The woman at the reception desk will give you a form. It's something to fill in, such as your name, and a note about using the carriage.
　The usage fee is 50,000G per person. So expensive.
　It says that you have to prepare your own food. It says that you can put your load on the carriage.
　In the case of Sting, it is said that the movement period will be more than 10 days, please prepare for it.

　Well, there will be no problem.
　I signed the paperwork and handed it to the woman. Then I receive a certificate of my reservation. It looks like I'll have to present this on the day.
　Well, I'm looking forward to the next five days.
