''So I'm going to take the promotion test, what do you guys think?''

　After that, I left the guild and went home to...
　I thought and thought and thought and thought about the A-grade promotion... and as a result, I decided to take the test.
　Then he gathered everyone in the living room and talked about it.

'Hmm, an A-grade? Finally, my success will be worldwide!
'Why do you think the way you do?　I'd like to see what's going on inside Luna's head once.
Well, don't give me that kind of credit. You're embarrassing me.
'I'm getting seriously worried about my sister's future...'

　Sola and Luna are the same as always....

'A grade, how great is that...?
Hmmm... if I had to pick an analogy, I'd say he's going to be a king.
Oh Rain, my King... are you going to wear a crown?
'That's the point of the king, that's the point...'

　After all, Nina and Tina are the same as usual.

Meow ... question!
Why do you want to get straight A's?

　Kanade and Tania are somehow solid, so they asked me why.

'It's partly because we get a lot of benefits and it makes it easier to do things in the future, but I think the main reason is that it gives us more voice.
Meow?　Speech power?
''Natalie-san said that an A-ranked adventurer would be given the power of a nobleman.

　Luna and Sora react to my words.

'Hm?　So does that mean it's going to be my peril?　Hmph, I'm going to show all the people my authority.
'It's not going to be about prestige, it's going to be about showing shame.
'What the hell?　You're going to do it, man!
'Do you know what?　Conflict only occurs at the same level, right?　There are many levels of difference between Sola and Luna.
'Nah!
You both need to be quiet...
"I'm sorry.

　Sora and Luna were pissed off at Nina, and Sora and Luna were squirming.

'Uh ... back to the point, but if you're going to be given a certain amount of power, you'll have more say, right?　There's nothing wrong with working individually, but when multiple adventurers are working together, as was the case with Iris, they will follow the orders of their superiors.
Rain what are you still dragging around?
No, I'm fine.

　He smiled at Tania, who gave him a worried look.

'Tania preached to me, you know. I'm looking forward to it, all right.
Yeah, well that's okay.
Meow I'm curious.

　Kanade was looking at Tania with zit eyes.
　Tania pretended not to notice it and turned her gaze to the side.

'I think that with more say, you can disagree with your superiors' orders, and you'll be allowed to act independently to some extent.
You don't have to worry about that, do you?
That's not going to happen.
Naturally.
So I wanted to be able to move around freely when the time came so I wanted to make sure I got an A grade for that.

　So I cut off the words once and looked at everyone's faces.
　They all listened intently to me.

'What do you guys think?'
'I think it's fine. I agree!
I agree. If it means I don't have to follow bad orders, then so be it.

　First of all, Kanade and Tania agreed with me.

'I don't see anything wrong with it either. Hmph, I'm trying to be dignified!
'It doesn't make Luna great, though. Oh, I agree with Sora.

　Luna and Sola agreed with me as I continued.
　The other two were.

Don't think so.
You're good?　There's a lot of other benefits, right?　If you can get promoted, I think it wouldn't hurt to do it.

　He agreed to do so, as if it were a given.

'I mean, why did you bother asking us?　Since Rain's husband is the leader, he could have made the decision on his own.
Yeah, yeah. Who's going to complain about that?

　Tina and Kanade say so, but...
　As you can imagine, that would be called selfishness.

　I wouldn't have made it this far without you guys...
　If I was alone, I think I would have died in the wild in the process.
　And yet, you can't do something that neglects everyone's opinion.

　........When I told them that, they all looked at me warmly, as if they were looking at their grandchildren for some reason.

''Hey, what?　What's going on?　What did I say?
Hmmm. I've been thinking that Rain is Rain. Right?
Yeah.

　Kanade said something I didn't understand, and everyone nodded at it.
　There seems to be a common understanding among everyone that this is what I am...
　What on earth do they think?
　I was just curious.



----------



　We decide to take the A grade promotion exam........three days later.
　After we finished our preparations, we left the house and headed for the exit of the city.

　There were many carriages lined up at the exit of the city.
　We couldn't use the carriages on our way to Pagos, though, because there was a problem that we might get caught up in a fight.......
　It's different this time.
　There is no such thing as danger since we are heading to the royal capital to take the promotion exam.
　So I decided to use the carriage.

''Oooh, a carriage~''

　Kanade's eyes were shining and his tail was twitching.
　Apparently carriages are rare.
　He was looking around the carriage like a child, patting the horse.

　A cat and a horse.
　The horse was purring pleasantly and was being stroked obediently, as if there was something in common.

'Are you going to use the carriage this time?'
What about me, do I walk?
It's a long way to King's Landing. I hear it's going to take two weeks to get there on foot.
'I knew I wanted a carriage!　Carriage awesome!

　Luna hugged the carriage when she heard it was a two-week walk.
　She's not very good at exercise, after all.

''I mean, why don't we just have Tania turn into Tania and carry her around like the last time?
I'm not a carriage, but...
'If you do that, you'll be in big trouble. A dragon has appeared, or something like that, and you'll be shot down by magic. Is Luna's head so empty that she can't even imagine such a thing?
That's right!
"You admitted it in a big way!

　While Sola and Luna ramble on, he grabs Nina by the waist and lifts her up and puts her in the carriage.
　Nina is too short to get in and out of the carriage on her own.

'Arigato........Rain.
Thanks, man.

　The doll version of Tina, who was riding on top of Nina's head, was also riding in a chirpy way.
　Tina can fly with her magic, so there's no need for someone to lift her up........
　I guess I was too lazy to get beside myself.

　Kanade and Tania climbed in, followed by........
　I threw in Sora and Luna, who had started a fight at the end.

'Oooh, this carriage is so comfortable,'
'Really. I've always thought of carriages as being a pain in the butt, but that's not true.

　Since the carriage was not designed to transport goods, but people, it was designed to be comfortable to ride in, with cushions installed to make it easier to sit in.
　Even if we used the carriage, it would take us about five days to get to the royal capital.
　So I chose a good carriage so that I wouldn't get tired.

''Come on, let's go, Black Thunder!　Carry us to King's Landing!
Um...I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't give my child a strange name...

　The driver gets a confused look on his face.

'Luna, calm down. You must not embarrass thee.
Hm?　How do you come to that conclusion?　I didn't do anything.
Are you unaware of this?
Luna can be funny sometimes.

　Finally, it was Luna who even got a hard time from Kanade.

　Well, from Luna's point of view, it's the first time she's ever been in a carriage.
　It's probably because of the curiosity of the thing, and the tension is rising.
　I'm sorry to the gentleman, but I want you to close your eyes.

''Well then, would you mind setting off?　As I told you beforehand, I'll leave the route up to you.
Yes, I understand.

　The Gosha pulled the reins and the horse began to walk slowly.

Oh, it's working!
'Luna, don't be so flippant, it's embarrassing. Oh, you're surprisingly fast!
Sora is excited too...
Good friend, Mr.....

　It's a bit noisy, but....
　And so we set off for King's Landing.
