I woke up earlier than usual and got ready for the day.

　Today is the day of the promotion request.
　First, I need to meet up with the other candidates at the Adventurer's Guild.
　The preparations will be over soon.

　Six strengthened muscles, six strengthened strength, six strengthened agility, six strengthened agility.
　That's the sum of your clothes and the knives and swords you currently wear.

　With this much gear, there would be no problem as long as there wasn't anything too serious.
　As expected, it is noticeable to wear accessories idly, so I only wore one necklace and bracelet.

　However, there is only one skill frame that can be worn with both of them at best, but it's enough.
　This time, there are no skills that I plan to use in my attack skills, so I'm granting them mainly to improve various basic abilities.

　As expected, with this much equipment, my body feels lighter the moment I wear it.
　........There's just one thing you have to be careful about.
　The speed at which your body can move is completely different from the one you use in your daily life and the one you can move at after the skill has been granted.
　You need to be aware of that difference and fight the demons.

　........In a manner of speaking, I don't think there's a problem since I was moving my body in this state on a daily basis.

''Well then, Val. I'm going off.

　I stroke Val's head once as she gives me a lonely look.

'Va,'

　The cries are somewhat hushed.
　I can't let Val join me, so I have no choice.
　I leave the room and go out the back door.

　Just then I see Ristina-san, who was sweeping with her broom.

'Good morning, Ristina-san,'
Mr. Relius. Isn't today the day to ask for a promotion?
Yes, sir.
Good luck with that.

　I look at Ristina in surprise.

'What's going on?'

'Eh, what? Did you want me to make fun of you, senior?

　Ms. Listyna leans in closer, squinting at me.
　She pokes my arm with the broom handle.

'No, because you were honestly cheering me on I read the back of it.
It's terrible. I'll support you properly too when I do!　Oh, it's a bento!　That said, all we have is bread and a little food!
Thank you very much.

　It's handed to me to be pushed around.
　Listina waves her hand fluttering back to the store.
　Her cheeks are slightly tinted with vermilion.

　
　Or rather, is it okay to be in the middle of cleaning?
　........well, there's not much trash or anything, so it won't be a problem.

　I put the received lunch into the small bag I was carrying on my back.
　Today I couldn't take my stuff out of the item box, or I had prepared a bag to hide the action of taking it out.

　I'll put my lunch in it. That's all I have to pack.
　As you would expect, I can't do such a wild thing as disassembling the lunch you made for me and collecting it.


　I can't just take it apart and collect it.


　When I arrived at the guild, the four of us were already there except me.

''It's nice to meet you, Lelius.

　When I went to the reception desk, there were already four people who were scheduled to be paired up today.
　........You're early.
　We arrived 30 minutes earlier than the designated time, but I was the last to arrive.

Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Warrior.

　The one who raised one hand in a friendly manner was a man carrying an axe.
　It's a divine weapon that looks quite strong.
　It seems to be a weapon called a break axe.
　There are five attacking skills in a row, and three body-strengthening skills as well.

　It seems to be a type that specializes in physical techniques.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm Sifu.

　Smiling, the fresh man smiles and carries what looks like a knife.
　It's a weapon called a six dagger.
　This one's weapon is rather modest. It has three body-strengthening systems on it, but they are all agility-enhancing.

　He is a dagger, so perhaps he focuses on speed.
　Now I have a rough idea of the abilities of the two vanguards.

　He glanced at the woman they were with.
　........Are they the pair of them that the receptionist had told me about earlier?

I'm Racine. Nice to meet you.
"Wow, my name is Chiyu!　Yo, nice to meet you, please!

　One looked imposing.
　The other looked very nervous.

　Rashin-san's weapon is a spear and Chiyu-san has a staff.
　Racine-san also has a vanguard skill, but Chiyu-san is more of a rearguard.

　If you had a purification magic with this, you might have received an invitation from the church.

''With this, we have all the members. Now please choose a leader.''

　With a smile, the receptionist smiled and at the same time, Mr. Warrior raised his hand.

'Ole!　I want to do it!

　The members of the group, minus Warrior, look at each other.

'I don't mind.

　is Mr. Racine.
　Following that, Chiyu-san shook her head.

''Wow, I'm........the same opinion as Racine,''
I don't mind, either. It's not easy being a leader.
That's fine with me, too.

　It was a unanimous decision, and Mr. Warrior clenched his fists happily.
　As we watched that, we looked at each other with a wry smile.
　........For the moment, it seems that there are no bad people among the party members.

''Then here's the request form. Please let the leader, Warrior-san, manage it.

　The receptionist gives a piece of paper to Ms. Warrior.
　Ms. Warrior takes it and the receipt of the request is complete.

'Well then, good luck with your promotion request. Of course, if you can't make it, you'll have to turn back immediately. I'm an adventurer who lives for my life.

　The receptionist said, and after a bow, she returned to her duties.

'Well then, let's go outside as soon as possible. So, all right, guys?
Yes. Okay. Let's go.

　Mr. Warrior said and Ms. Racine nodded.
　Mr. Warrior walked to the front of the line, with Mr. Racine and Mr. Chihu following behind him.

　Me and Ciyu-san lined up the same way.

''Relius-san is a pretty good fighter, isn't he?''
'What?　Why?
'Didn't you used to protect women from adventurers?　Here, in the guild.
Uh....

　Is this about Mr. Mair?
　Ristina-san also came to mind, but if we were talking about the guild, it would be Mea-san.

''That's right. Well, I think you have good body language in your own right.''
Yeah. Oh, I don't have to be a respectful person, okay?
...Uh...I've been serving customers since I was a kid helping out at home, so it's pretty ingrained in me.
'Oh, really?　Where do you work?
The Migratory Bird Inn.
'What?　Yes!　You're a famous innkeeper these days!
Yes. That's why I've been having so many customers.

　We jokingly talk about it.
　Mr. Racine, who was listening to us, interrupts the conversation.

'What!　The Migratory Bird Innkeeper is a place where you can live and work, I believe!　Next time you're recruiting, give us a shout out!　Hey, Chiyu!
'What?　Huh?　I don't know how to be a customer service person.
Really?　You can do a lot better than you think when you first start looking at it, right?　Some of our part-timers want to get over the fact that they're not very good at interacting with people.

　We haven't met yet.
　It would be important to get to know each other before confronting a demon.
　Especially Chiyu-san, she's probably not very good at opening up to people.

　Especially, we should be aware of it and talk to him.
