When the five of us enter the Adventurers Guild, we get the same attention from the adventurers who were inside.

What the fuck?

I'm concerned about the reactions of the adventurers, but I'm off to the reception without worrying. As usual, there was Mr. Routie at the reception, so I head down to her, who is in charge.

"Long time no see, Mr. Rooty"

"I heard you were going to war, but you're back safe, Mr. Mars."

Mr. Rooty smiles happily.

My gaze is turned from me, who was in the lead, to Iris, who was supposed to make sure the party members next to him were safe and joined anew. At that moment, I didn't miss Mr. Rooty's cloudy expression.

"What, what is it?

Illis is also wolfish when he realizes he was depressed the moment he was seen.

"No... as a sister, it's a little complicated when a boy I've known since I was a runaway adventurer would be welcoming a fourth woman to a party to build a harem by the end of a year."

"Wow, I...!

Iris reacts abnormally to Mr. Rooty's words, which seem a little off.

The moment I saw Iris' reaction, Mr. Routie's somewhat depressed expression turned into something niggardly.

"Nice. Deny the relationship while blushing a little. I was expecting this kind of initial reaction. I was bored because Sylvia didn't react very well these days, but I'll be talking again in the guild."

"I didn't want to offer that topic..."

It's impossible to say that I don't want to get more attention now because I already have a lot of activities that attract attention.

"More than that, I'd like you to register her new base today."

"Yes. So can you show me your adventurer card?

"Please"

"What, A-rank...?

I am surprised that Mr. Rooty has confirmed the rank of Adventurer in the United Kingdom on the back of the Adventurer card.

Normally, when it comes to A-rank, no one is an adult adventurer who makes base or party changes. We have to try not to mislead her here.

"Actually, because of this war, her party was devastated, so we decided to take her to our party, the only one left on active duty."

"That's what happened. If you have any problems, say anything."

"Thank you"

Mr. Rooty, who received the adventurer card, will process the paperwork at hand.

The adventurers who heard Mr. Routie whine and found out that Illis was A-rank were also listening, so he told them out loud so they could tell, and they perceived the situation.

Nevertheless, I feel more concerned than usual.

"Speaking of which, I kind of feel like I'm getting your attention, did you offer anything on the subject as well?

"That's because most adventurers in the guild know that all of you, Mars, have been promoted to A-rank. After a meeting with Krashel's guild master, our guild master began to celebrate his promotion, so at least the participants knew he'd been promoted to A-rank."

Why are you celebrating without us?

Well, it doesn't matter what our rank is. If you take an A-rank request for a while, you'll be known.

"It's unusual for all party members to be promoted to A-rank, so it attracts the attention of many people. Besides, even newly added members have A-rank, so there are some difficulties with guilds."

"Really?

"Especially the request's good offices."

"I was going to bring the requisition, just like before."

"I can't do that."

My actions were denied by Iris.

"There is no such thing as a requisition form for A-rank adventurers. In the first place, A-rank adventurers are mediated on requests that are unsuccessful by adventurers below B rank or requests that the Alliance has determined to be impossible by adventurers below B rank, from which they begin to take on requests. Alistair doesn't change, does he?"

"It's generally like she said. Of course, it doesn't mean that A-rank adventurers violate the policy when they take on a request below B-rank, so please be free to take on the request that is on the bulletin board. Also, the A-rank should increase the number of nomination requests, so I think we'll take it from there."

"I see."

It would mean getting a request as challenging as this war is.

When that happens, I get in a lot of trouble.

Highly challenging requests can be expected to be rewarded as well. I don't even have to rush to get a request, but we don't have much benefit from not needing that much money. After all, it could have been a failure to accept the rank increase.

"So, Mars, I have a request for you to take."

"Already?

"That's all I'm hoping for."

"Transport of Orion Diet" was the request that was written on the requisition form that Mr. Rooty sent out to me.

Orion Diet can occasionally be found mining the mining field of the labyrinth, now the only one available with already lost resources.

"Is this the transport of Orion Diet?

"Yes, recently I was told to carry a lot of Orion Diet from the King's Capital because I was able to unearth it. So, Mars, your party is being nominated for escort to that convoy. And of course, there are two other parties to follow."

Orion Diet is starting to get unearthed a lot because I messed with the setup a little bit.

I heard rumors a while ago that Wang Du was looking for Orion Diet, so I was increasing the frequency of appearances to invite adventurers.

"But this is a superficial request."

"I guess so."

The four of us who were at the party from the beginning didn't get it, but it seems to me that Luti, the receptionist for the Iris and Adventurer Guild, who has been acting as A-rank adventurers, did.

"A convoy escort is a sufficient request even in B and C ranks. It's a deficit because of the commission to send a nomination request to a party that only has A-rank adventurers for such a request. So the goal would be to have income other than the Orion Diet sale, or to call us to the King's Capital."

"I agree"

Why bother calling us to the King's Capital until you make a false request?

I don't have a verse in mind.

"Possible possibilities are that someone interested in your abilities called to the King's Capital. Others were too active in the war, so I want to talk to you. Well, there's not only promotion to S-rank, so you'll be fine."

How much attention will you get on the day you become S-ranked even though promotion to A-rank alone will get this much attention?

Nevertheless, as Mr Rooty said, there is just no promotion to S-rank.

There may be people out there who wonder if it's okay to promote us to S-rank adventurers if our strength has led the war to a truce, but unfortunately we have not achieved anything as A-rank adventurers.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a while ahead even if there's going to be talk about promotion.

"What do you want to do? If you ask me, I think I can handle the other parties alone, so it's fine if you say no."

Mr. Routie has said this to me, but if you think about the future, it seems more troublesome to keep turning down the convocation from Wang Du. If you refuse, a similar story could ensue in the future.

Trouble is limited to just getting rid of it.

"No, I'll take the request. When will you be leaving?

"We're assembling in front of the West Gate early tomorrow morning"

"Okay. I want to be ready by the end of the day."

Request as your first A-rank adventurer.

Something's going to be a hassle.
