A Black Knights slave has been pulled out by the White Adventurer Guild to S-rank.

on the main cities of the Holy Republic.

Apparently this is not the central city, but the scale is small and large enough to be adequately compared to the Wang capital.

A large bronze statue of the goddess was built in a square near the center.

Do bronze statues feel like beauties with canes? It was big but not intimidating and inclusive of accepting everything.

"All adventurers who have been requested by the Alliance, gather here -!

The Knights of the Holy Republic had gathered near the bronze statue.

Yes, the bronze statue here is where the adventurers meet. There was also Queena next to me.

"... you're still eating"

"Mmm. It's as good as the King's Skewer."

Look at this one with the kind of look that Queena scolds.

It was too early for the rally time, so I bought skewers for sale at the outdoor store. Does it taste different from Wang Du? This one is meat but easy to swallow. It has a refreshing flavor. That's why it goes extra......

"Oh, you want some?

"No, fine. Don't look like that 'I don't want to split...' Looks like the reception's started more than that, and I'm on my way."

"Yeah, but it's not time yet, is it?

"It doesn't have to be time to go. Look, look."

Queena looks around. I followed the gaze that Queena put on me, too, as I was told. What caught my eye were the same adventurers we were looking at here.

Everyone is looking at this one without heading to the reception.

"What about them?

"They're waiting for us to go first."

"Why?"

"Easy, 'cause we're the ones in the top ranks."

"Ah."

Somehow I understood.

Adventurers are free to accept requests. I guess some adventurers have yet to accept the urgent request that came in this time.

Those are the adventurers watching me and Queena.

"I guess you think that when people in the top ranks receive it, they can ensure achievement rates and minimum safety. So wait for us to take it."

"You're smart."

I honestly thought so.

If they were in their shoes, I would have put it into practice if I had that idea.

Then Queena opened her eyes and said:

"Don't you get angry?

"No, no, that's it. Why?

"'Cause it's like goldfish shit, huh? Normally, I think it's normal to be frustrated."

"Um, really? Aren't there adjustments in there on the Alliance side? The higher the rank, the more money you get."

"Yeah, well, you're right."

Finish eating the skewers and throw them in the trash can installed in the square without being inches different.

And I headed over to the receptionist.

"Is that right? Nobody wants to die."

Even during the Knights.

I'll always go first.

That's how we spent dangerous assignments together. Still, they escaped in harsh days, or died, or lived in scattered days.

It is no different that it is still dangerous.

Then it's natural to want to reduce the likelihood of death or injury at all.

Plus, it sounds dumber not to take requests with a bling eye.

More importantly, if you're adjusting on the Alliance's side.

"Really, you're different."

Queena followed me, saying the same thing.

And the adventurers who were watching about us followed with a relieved chest.

On the way to the reception, I asked Queena what I was worried about.

"Speaking of which, how did Queena even know about me anyway?

"Huh? You're pretty famous, huh? He said he jumped in, became S-ranked, and in just three days he almost ate up requests near Wangdu. I wonder if your face is quite well known through magic items."

"Oh, really..."

I feel cold because of the fact that I first found out.

Right. Speaking of which, meeting adventurers from time to time was avoided. Is that because my face was known?

You don't want to get involved with the man who withered your request...

What a receptionist. Reception is a refreshing young man. I guess I just joined the Knights.

All these young people look dying in the kingdom, but this country looks perfectly fine.

"We'll take care of it. May I borrow your card?"

"Yes, go ahead"

"I do confirm... eh. S-rank...? What's the name of the party... this, is it an individual?

"Hmm? Individual? Party?"

There's a word out there that I don't understand.

Am I gonna be an individual? But Queena's with you, so it's a party?

Queena, who was waiting for me behind what I thought, snuck up on me and supplemented me.

"I have a rank that I can take personally and a rank that I can take at a party where a few people get together. You're gonna be an individual, but you're S-ranked, so you can take any request. This request was also made by an individual, so you're going to be an individual."

"Really? It's personal, then."

"Yes. I understand. Now that the process is complete, thank you for everything......!

"Ah, oh. Best regards,"

I was asked to shake hands. When I grip it back, I can grip it with both hands and bow my head deeply.

Is S-rank such a potency? That's why I feel the blame is on my shoulders.

Well, there's no such thing as being crushed by tension or heavy duty.

Then most adventurers completed the reception. And this assignment... - started talking about a request, not a request.
