Koruntum Request
Esily's eyes opened.
“Ah, I'm… Sorry. I was a little sleepy…”
“Oh, it's okay. Well, I doze off sometimes too.”
I didn't really care.
After learning how much work Esily had, I didn't really feel like saying anything.
Should I say that I even felt like taking care of her more?
With that in mind, I brought up the main topic.
“So, I came to get promoted to the Gold Plate Rank, is there any chance my achievements have been filled?”
I caught the One-Eyed Bandit last time, and my achievements were filled up tremendously, but I didn't know.
It would be nice to ask.
“Um… One moment, please.”
Esily brought the documents around her and looked through them for a while, then smiled and said.
“You're short on achievements!”
“Yes?”
Short on achievements.
I was a little dizzy.
I thought it was all filled up, so I've been through all that trouble.
I was ashamed of my actions.
All this time, I was wondering why I was attracting attention in the forum by asking about the Gold Plate Rank, and even going to the Harang Hall to spend money.
As I was in despair, Esily said with an awkward smile.
“Well… You don't have to be too disappointed, if you succeed in one big mission, you can be promoted to Gold Plate Rank.”
“…Big one?”
“Ah, yes. You're still lacking in achievements… If you were just a little short, I could promote you at my discretion. That, ahaha…”
In short, the point was this.
It's hard to promote me to Gold Plate Rank even if she uses her authority as an Adventurer's Guild receptionist because I haven't accumulated enough achievements.
To be honest, I thought there was a possibility, but this was a bit dizzying.
It's not even a little bit left, I have to solve one big task.
I think I'll have to carry the money for the time being.
“Ah… Then I understand…”
As I was about to leave the Adventurer's Guild in disappointment.
Esily shouted at me from behind.
“Mr. Eugene! There is a pretty big request among the requests that came in, do you want to do this? I think you can get promoted if you do this.”
“…Really?”
I was a little tempted.
To ask for a request like this right away.
So I decided to just listen to the details of the request.
If the details of the request were strange, I was thinking of refusing right away.
“Yes!”
“What kind of request is it? I'll have to hear it and decide.”
If it were like before, I would have accepted it right away, but now I've got a little bit of seniority.
It meant that I could listen to the details of the request and decide whether to accept it or not.
If it seemed too dangerous, I wouldn't take the request.
“Koruntum is looking for an adventurer with large-scale firepower and assassination skills. This time, they're going to wipe out the remnants of the monsters.”
“Hmm… Wait a minute.”
Koruntum.
There was someone else to ask about Koruntum.
So I turned on the forum.
I could search, but there was no need to.
There were people who would answer right away if I asked about Koruntum.
It was convenient to think of it as Namu Wiki.
With that in mind, I wrote.

After writing the post, I asked Esily for a moment.
“Just a moment. Let me think about it.”
“Ah, yes.”
I sat down at any table and pretended to think and checked the forum.
I decided to check one post before enough comments were posted.

[Content: If you just tank in the front, I'll give you a buff. Adventurers must be at least Gold Plate Rank or higher lol]
L: The conditions are so strict lol
ã„´: Real talk
ã„´: What's so strict about Gold Plate Rank lol
ã„´: Gold Plate Rank is really strict, there's a guy who doesn't know the world
L: Is Gold Plate Rank someone's dog?
ã„´DieIllegally: Of course you have to be at least Gold Plate Rank lol
ã„´DieIllegally: At least Gold Plate Rank is required to be a tanker in the front
L: Is this for real? I'm curious
ã„´DieIllegally: Yeah
ã„´DieIllegally: It's real
L: The announcement is written like an attention-grabbing post lol
L: You might as well say Platinum Badge lol
ã„´DieIllegally: I was going to write it like that, but it seemed too attention-grabbing
ã„´DieIllegally: So I just went with Gold Plate Rank lol
‘…I can't even apply.’
Only those who are Gold Plate Rank or higher can apply.
It was like ignoring the Silver Badge Rank.
But there was nothing I could do.
All I can do is work hard to get to Gold Plate Rank.
Thinking about it, I checked the comments on the post I wrote.

L: I heard things are good in Koruntum these days
ã„´: Yeah, it's pretty good
ã„´: How good is it?
ã„´: It's just good
L: I don't think the situation is that good lol
ã„´: Huh
ã„´: They said it was good from above…
L: Damn, I want to kill the title, it's so attention-grabbing
L: So where's the picture of you peeing on the street
ã„´: This is really martial artist lol
ã„´Cthulhu: No, why is everything related to martial arts?
ã„´: But if there's a problem, it's mostly martial arts, lol…
I felt a little uneasy.
The comment from the person I was looking for wasn't visible yet.
So I slowly checked the comments below.
L Ferus: Koruntum is buzzing with Necromancers these days, but overall it's fine.
ã„´Ferus: I'd say it's just right. It's similar to other cities.
ã„´Ferus: So the conclusion is that it would be okay to come, but are you thinking of coming?
Ferus seemed to have strange expectations of me.
The more combat personnel, the better.
Thinking about it, I left a comment.
Since he's the one who always leaves me kind comments, I thought it would be right to be kind to him as well.
ã„´ReallyDirtPoor: I'm not really thinking of going
ã„´ReallyDirtPoor: I have things to do
Since Ferus guaranteed that the atmosphere in Koruntum wasn't bad, I was thinking of going, but there was no need to tell other people that.
The more I hide my identity, the better.
I could be threatened in real life if I reveal my identity.
Of course, I was caught by someone I didn't know last time… but I don't think anyone knows yet.
Thinking about it, I went to Esily and said,
“Then I'll take the request. Can I go alone this time?”
“Ah, yes. I think you can go alone this time. There are already a lot of adventurers there.”
“Then I'll come tomorrow morning, so please prepare the relevant materials. I'll take a look at them on my way.”
“Yes.”
I haven't asked Esily for anything much, but this time, I thought I'd need some materials since I'm going somewhere else.
That's why I asked Esily for the materials.
I was a little grateful to Esily, who always helped me like this.
She's a receptionist, so she wouldn't have to do this.
Thinking gratefully, I said goodbye and left the Adventurer's Guild.
Creak-
I walked home, hearing the familiar sound of the Adventurer's Guild door opening.
“Ah.”
That's right.
I was going to buy some tanghulu.
I almost forgot.
I immediately went to the tanghulu store and bought one.
The flavor was Trililos.
I hadn't tried it before, but it looked delicious, so I bought one and headed home.
“Hmm, okay.”
Fortunately, the house was fine.
I was wondering if someone had broken in.
Thinking it was fortunate, I opened the door and went inside, and a rat greeted me.
Squeak-
I wasn't a big fan of rats, so I just said hello.
I'm only keeping it because Basil has itI greeted it and went down to the basement.
Knock, knock.
As I knocked on the door, I heard a cautious sound from inside, and a woman with black hair peeked her head out.
“Hello.”
“Ah, did you eat anything?”
“Not… yet.”
“Then have this.”
I said and handed her the tanghulu.
Then-
“…Thank you. To think I'm eating something like this every day… I'm so touched.”
“No, well… You're guarding the house.”
Just by guarding the house when I'm gone, Basil was doing her part.
Thinking that, I handed her the tanghulu and went up to the first floor.
I was getting tired.
I was sleepy too.
So I put up an alarm spell and a barrier around me and went to sleep.
I don't distrust Basil, but… just in case.
That's why I'm preparing.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
