Ch 62 - C rank Adventurer
"To move on, sir," the Guild Master continued, "I presume that presenting all those goblins ears as proof of subjugation means that you want to improve your rank?"
Oh, I nearly forgot about that. Well, it's because of a certain someone who took me to a goblin village that I collected that many goblin ears in one request.
"If that's so then I can raise you to C rank using my authority as Guild Master." he went on.
"Eh? I'm ranked G at the moment and I only really wanted to go up to F rank so I could move around without getting demoted out of the Guild altogether after a month. Jumping straight up to C rank, is that really OK?"
"It's not a problem, any Guild Master such as myself can do so in exceptional circ.u.mstances. The bigger problem for us is that someone who has contracted with a Fenrir is only rank G."
I'd planned to rise from rank G to rank F but I'm suddenly going to become C-ranked. If I'm rank C then I'm safe from demotion for six months even if I don't complete any requests.
"Even if you decide not to rise to rank C there are some requests we would like you to consider."
Ah, it's like that is it? I wouldn't need to be rank C to do these 'requests'?
"Ummm, I'd be inclined to turn the requests down, I must admit." However there was another party involved. "Fer?"
"You're wanting to go up in rank, right? So what's the problem?"
"Well, it's a pain..."
"The requests, there's no problem taking them as I'd help you get them done quick."
"Pardon me for interrupting but since the requests would actually be of rank A or even rank S difficulty, in reality we would be asking Fenrir-sama to carry them out for us." the Guild Master said to Fer.
Ah, that's where he was going with this. I understand now. "Fer, you OK with this?"
"Huh, I don't understand this A or S stuff but there ain't anything that can beat me after all." he said matter-of-factly. Of course he'd say something like that...
"Oh, that's very good. You see, high-ranking requests don't appear often. If you became an A rank or even S-ranked Adventurer then the number of requests that are worthy of your attention is very limited. Usually such high-ranking Adventurers are only called upon specially when an emergency arises. Other than that then they are free to do as they please."
