Two as One Princesses

Though I said I'd work hard, this one must be at a disadvantage.

Hunter unions won't be as weak an organization as leaning just because my little C grade daughter quit, so it won't do much good where she threatened to quit.

However, this is also a phase that involves the country's advancement and withdrawal.

Countless demons attack the king's capital. Confusion is imperative, although it has been demonstrated in the past that even if the King's capital is turned into ruins, the country will never be gone.

The state and hunter union, even though they are separate organizations, will be deeply linked, and if there is anything in the country, individual hunters can suffer from less jobs, etc. So naturally we will cooperate.

This time it won't be a ruin militarily, but I've never crossed the line with a lot of people and supplies.

... I've made a big deal out of it, but I'm having trouble thinking about it.

I wonder why this is such a pain in the ass.

Yeah, let's think simpler.

What the union wants is for Syel to carry supplies.

However, even if the difficulty is considered low, grade B and, normally, grade A. Ciel, by contrast, is a C class.

So there is a promotion to level B as a reward for success.

As for those of us who want to be a B, there's no reason not to take it.

But I don't want to take it... because it seems to be dancing over the palms of the Alliance?

Or is it because the union side is of the view that the Hunter union breaks the rules it has set itself?

Either way, how childish am I?

However, if we continue to obey in silence, it may be used for good in the future. Even if that's childish, I think we should push ourselves through it. At least because this country has no in-laws.

There's more reason here than that one trying to break the rules.

Besides, they probably know that going to the king's capital is a pain in itself for us.

"With that said, what is the rank of the artificial no god no deportation i?

"... from the top of the A-rank to the bottom of the S-rank"

"I mean, the guild chief got the S-level request to the C-level."

……

The guild chief answers my words in silence.

"Nominate a further request for grade A or higher"

"... right. This is the only way to do it for the country."

"The guilds of this country hustled my vocation, and tried to kill me by joining forces with the nobles to make my mistakes go away. Hunters in this country tried to fit in with a demonic flood of resentment. People in this country just make it evil to be a singing princess.

Still, I intend to contribute to the Hunter Union. No? "

……

"I'm not saying I won't take another request. But I'm in danger just going to the king's capital.

It is possible that the aristocrats will kill me again.

And then you say, 'When you achieve it, I'll make you a B, so take the request'?

No matter how polite you say it, this is what the Hunter Union claims.

On a favorable note, I can accept it as a nominal, easy-to-understand feat to get it up to grade B.

But that should be enough for a golden wolf.

In the end, the situation now deserves what the Alliance has continued to devalue us.

In my present day, I cannot favorably receive words from the Alliance.

"If it's not a post-achievement promotion, what do you want?

"Don't you see?

"It's time to move up to level B…"

"Is there a problem?

"Can't you trust the guild?

"You think you can? Naturally, I won't allow you to drop it to C-status if you fail."

I want to say what I fell asleep with. He's probably looking at the guild leader with that eye, but he also has the look of giving up on receiving that the guild leader himself is a natural reaction.

The problem with this claim is that it's C-grade, so I'm just asking you to give it a B grade first. That's all you have to do, even though the Alliance side can wave the big hand and nominate Ciel. Though the major players may not be able to shake it, as the request they are trying to make me take is normally A grade.

If I come forward with a demotion in a request failure as a claim has passed, I will escape this occasion.

Normally you don't get demoted to the extent that you fail once, and even if you get promoted to B, it's a grade A equivalent request. If this is what you're going to fail to demote, you can't help but get bullied for being an Alliance tyranny.

"Okay. Let's hang each other up. Anything else?

"Hold the magic bag to put supplies in there"

"It would be good. Wait for me."

A depressing guild chief leaves the room with me.

Apparently, this one went through. Precisely a first stage breakthrough?

Although I was frustrated, I think the guild leader's position is difficult now. It's a matter of country, and it's not the guild chief here who's hostile to me, and if you try it on him, it must be just fine.

"Looks good, huh?

'Right. It must have gone so far as to think,' cause he was the guild leader here. '

"It might have been difficult if it had been the King's capital."

'I don't feel like I pulled the poverty lottery because I don't have it here as an individual guild leader, even if I have something to think about guild.

That's why I'm not going to compromise at all. '

"So when you get to B, do you leave without asking?

"Let's not do that."

"Right."

You can leave this country without having to make a request if you are in B grade.

But if you do that, you'll be in full conflict with the Alliance.

Even if it fails, it may be difficult to move after going to the center unless you have achieved a degree of visibility.

If you take a request for it and leave it, it'll be kind of a mockery. This is my feeling, but I don't want Ciel to be the kind of person who would easily break his promise.

So when I get a request, I want to do everything I can.

◇

The guild chief did not return for a while, so he returned his body to Ciel, and Ciel, who was returned, was playing with the Spirit.

I don't know if I can describe it as fulfilling and playing because I just see it, but I'm satisfied as far as I'm concerned because Ciel has a year-to-year expression.

Someone tells Ciel where he is approaching, and Ciel's expression returns.

In the hands of the guild leader who opened the door, there is enough rucksack for several pieces of paper and Ciel to carry.

It took about an hour or two over time, but I guess I got the permission and do it above. Considering that, I'd say it's a pretty quick response.

Though I was prepared to take a few days, things may be in need of more urgency than I thought.

"Special provisions were granted. This will be Miss Siermeer's B card."

A more luxurious card is placed than the one the guild length used to the table up to grade C.

Ciel tried to take it, but 'wait,' he made a stop.

Receive this = You will receive the request. Although I don't think I'd fool you now, it's better to confirm the request again.

"Reconfirm Request Details"

"... right. This will be the new requisition form. At the same time, it's a magic contract, so make sure."

"Okay."

Ciel receives the request form and confirms its contents.

The new contents include "Accept Grade B if requested" and "Work to achieve the request to the best of our ability".

Nothing else has changed in particular.

"Mostly this is fine. But I'd like to add a sentence."

"What's in it?

Asked by the guild chief, Ciel writes a sentence instead of answering.

Looking at the requisition I returned, the guild leader looked like he had said something, but signed "this is fine" without touching the contents.

Syel signs as well and takes a Grade B card.

"Should I say sooner or later?"

'Finally, I guess. I finally got the keys to get out of this country'

"Yes, but I'm not very impressed."

"Me too."

'But for now, it's a problem in front of you. Let's get it delivered and get out of this country, shall we?

'Do you want to make your way there fastest?

"If only Ayn could."

"It's okay."

Ciel puts the B card in a magic bag and puts the C card on the table instead.

Then, a rucksack - carry a magic bag with supplies.

As it was, Ciel tried to leave the room, but stopped right in front of him.

"You were decent."

"Right. It's an honor."

"Good luck."

I laughed bitterly when I wondered if the Alliance Master had given a bewildered look to Ciel's short words.

I'm afraid of bitter laughter because I'm on the strong side, but I feel somewhat adorable only at this moment.

Had the guild chief of the Wang capital been him, he would have had a more different relationship with Siel.

Happily, even if not, I might have done enough to work as a force against the demonic flood.

It was out of order, bad timing, bad roundabout. That would be the place.

After the Hunter Union, Ciel went straight out of town.

◇

The day was also tilted as we left Norvell, so we decided to give up the full trip and walk to where we could get there on foot.

Being in nature as it dimmed was sad, and I would have felt lonely and creepy if I had been alone.

But now that we have Ciel, we can walk while we talk.

"Nevertheless, how can there be a demonic flood?

We should've been okay for another year or two, right?

'Our conclusion is... Perhaps there are exceptions, because it is only a comparison with past cases'

"It has to be thought that the rate of reproduction was faster than ever before."

'When that happens, the question also arises whether it's just that forest or elsewhere...'

"We should leave that kind of thing to the professionals, right?

'Actually, I've made amateur judgments and they've been off for years.

Well, now I think it might have been a mistake to judge just by the price of the potion '

"Speaking of potions, will one day I be able to make one, too?

'Do you want to make it?

"If I can make it, even if I quit hunter, I'm going to make money"

Demand seems high, and if I can make it, I'll sell it. It depends on the cost of the materials, but we would be able to go and collect the materials, and it feels like we could do it.

Because once you collect the herbs, you should keep them pretty good...

'Oh!'

"It's unusual for Ayn to raise her voice like that. I wonder what's wrong?

"Surely a year or two would have been okay if we'd saved the herbs properly, right?

"You said it. I see. That's the devil flood."

'Yes, so perhaps if we could have seen the request record or something, we could have predicted enough of this demonic flood.'

It was kind of very neat. If it's not abnormal reproduction, it's not artificial.

I guess I worked hard for two years using the medicinal herbs the alchemist had stocked up on, putting the price aside so that I couldn't beat the potion being carried. Potions can be a lifeline for those who fight, and it's not surprising that they stockpile a lot of herbs for some time.

Still, it should be difficult to keep delivering the same number, so would I have found out if I had looked more carefully into the supply of potions? I can't help thinking about it now, but I'm glad one of my worries disappeared before a job.
