6 Receive a request




 Which request shall I accept? I was thinking about it while looking at the miscellaneous request forms posted on the board in the guild.
 Riff is next to me.
 Apparently it's like a handicap to me as an amateur. However, he said I shouldn't ask for help.


 It occurred to me before the request.


''Do you guys have any free time?
Why don't you come up to me?
Since you're just playing games with me and giving me all this attention, I thought maybe you had something else to do.
'You mean Kåñëa? He thinks that if he can beat this, he will get closer to the S rank. I've been busy with requests for nominations.


 Hoo.
 A request for nomination is probably like getting a request for nomination, literally. Well, it seems to be obsessed with the S rank, but I've also heard that the A rank is on top of the cloud ...... in the eyes of the general public.
 I'm sure he's a great guy too. I don't know.


"I'm talking to you, too. I'm just saying to you, you're in the jurisdiction of the organization, right?
In a manner of speaking, yes.
'...... My point isn't that you're a great guy, it's that you don't have a lot of time on your hands. So it's not something you can dignify with your chest, okay?


 Riff stretches his nose in a pompous manner with his childishly floppy chest.


I'm sure you'll be able to find some good men underneath. But more importantly, why don't you decide which one you want?
Can't it be that easy ......?


 He's a pretty irresponsible guildmaster.
 Is it really okay to join a place like this? No, well, it's not like I belong to a guild, I'm just a subcontractor, so I should consider it better.


 Well, though.
 The receptionists and the occasional staff-like person you see seem to be lively and happy.
 At least unlike the Knights I was with, there are no dying people that could be mistaken for zombies.
 It must be a good environment, this place.


 Now for the requests.
 There are countless requests on the board. They range from picking medicinal herbs and defeating goblins and things that even a child can do, to highly ranked and designated requests to crush an orc settlement or get Fenrir's hair.


 But ......


Hmm, they're all pretty bad.
Okay. Good.


 That's a rough estimate.
 One point for an F-rated request.
 Requests for an E rating are 3 points.
 5 points for a D-rank request.
 10 points for a C-rated request.
 30 points for a B-rated request.
 50 points for an A-rated request.
 And so on.
 However, there are no S ranks.
 And I don't think there are many A-rated ones either.


Is there no other place to post the request?
That's all I've got for Headquarters. I don't have anything else to offer except for appointments and urgent requests.
Well: ......


 That's true too.
 Just looking at the few A-rated requests posted is enough to destroy an entire village.
 There's no way that's being requested with a bang. It's no surprise that there isn't a single S-ranked one on top of that.


 And above all, this is the royal capital. It's the heart of the kingdom.
 Most of the places have been settled and the knights are keeping a close eye on it, so ......


 Wait.


If it's in a remote area or something, do you have an S-ranked request?
That's a fine observation. But there aren't enough people in the middle of nowhere to pay for a commission. That's why there are even branches that don't even have an A rating.
Not so easy.


 And while I was thinking idly, the guys in the party took one of the few A-rank requests.


''Oh, the A-rank,''
What do you think you should do? There are people in King's Landing who are making good money. There's only so much you can ask.
'Right. I'd better get going.


 Kåñëa had already left the guild with a request.
 I don't have time to dawdle either.


By the way, Kåñëa took one A-rank and two B-ranked ones.
Yeah. Is that really possible?
Simultaneous requests are not optional. Kåñëa is a trustworthy woman.
Can I do that?
He's as good as a warrior, but Jade's lack of experience in the execution of commissions means he'll be tough to beat.


 So that's what Kuehna was referring to as an advantage: .......
 That's not a good point.
 Now I'm going to go and get a commission without thinking about it.


"Huh, I've only had three hours of sleep this week.


 I took the most pointed request from the board anyway, complaining about it.
