Chapter 18 - I Accepted a 'Safe Quest'

I Accepted a ‘Safe Quest’

“Uh...this is really an E-rank monster?”

“Yes.”

...This is an E-rank?

Not just the dragon, but the other monster I defeated before arriving in the town seed a lot stronger...

-Ah. I get it. It’s numbers.

There were a lot of these guys in the forest.

They are E-rank because they are dangerous in large groups.

In that case, the quest won’t be complete with just one.

“...How many of them do I have to kill to complete the quest?”

“Just the one.”

...Huh?

My guess had been wrong.

“In that case...will my rank go up now?”

“Uh...we do not disclose any details about the criteria, but I do believe you will rank up after doing this much. ...Let go ask about it.”

She said as she disappeared towards the back of the guild.

She returned after a few minutes with an elderly man.

His tag read, ‘Manager: Agias.’

He was apparently very important.

“...So you are the famous Yuji?”

He said as he looked at carefully.

Uhh...If I rember correctly, we were supposed to keep it casual.

“Yeah. ...Have you heard anything about then?”

“Of course. After all, no one had entered the special bracket or beco a B-rank Scout in over fifteen years. How could I not know? The guilds information departnt talk about nothing but these rumors surrounding you.”

...That’s how they’re treating ...

I had never heard of the information departnt before, but it was likely where they searched for information regarding Adventurers.

“So... There are a few things I want to confirm. Is that alright?”

So saying, Agias put sothing that looked like a large round jewel on the desk.

It was probably a magic stone.

I had never cut open a monster, but they apparently had these stones inside of them that were used for magic tools.

“Yeah. Sure.”

I said, and so the manager began to ask questions.

“Alright. The first question then. ...During the registration test, did you use your own power and the power of the sli alone?”

“Yes.”

I answered. The manager looked down at the magic stone on the desk.

There was no visible change to it.

“The next question. Did you gather the Healia grass you brought in today yourself? And did you also kill the monster?”

“The slis gathered the Healia grass. And they helped defeat the monster.”

Again, the stone did not react.

Seeing this...the manager smiled with satisfaction.

“Yes. There is no deceit here.”

...I had had my suspicions, but the magic stone was apparently a lie detector.

This world was amazing. They could ask you questions and know if you were lying.

“Alright, you will be allowed to level up then. Rank G on the sa day you registered...to be honest, it’s a new record.”

The manager said as he handed my guild card.

My rank had already been overwritten to display a G.

“As a G-ranker, you are considered a full-fledged Adventurer. So that ans you can accept quests with strong monsters... But on the other hand, those who have just been promoted to G-rank have the highest death rate. It would be best if you didn’t accept hard quests right away and just started on the easy ones. ...Well, perhaps there is no point in telling you this since you already completed an E-rank quest.”

...I see.

New G-rankers died a lot.

While I did just kill an E-rank monster today, I still wasn’t used to this world. So it would be best to move carefully.

Besides, I was acting solo, so I didn’t have a party to cover for .

“Thanks for the warning. Are there any safe quests you would recomnd?”

The manager heard this and laughed.

“You’re awfully cautious for soone so strong. ...Hmm, what about gathering Dria flowers?”

“Dria flowers?”

“Aye. It is a flower that grows deep in the western mountains. It is used for dicine, but there have been shortages recently. If you like searching for herbs, it is a good quest. Though, it will take ti, as it is quite far. But at least it’s not dangerous like the eastern forest.”

I see.

So it’s just herb collecting.

“How long are we talking about?”

“Three days for a round trip. You will need to camp outside, but it’s much safer than the forest. So it is good for practice. Still, it might be good to form a party...”

That sounded perfect.

But I did feel like I’ve been doing a lot of herb gathering recently... Well, if he said it was safe, then I would do it.

“Alright, I’ll accept the quest. As for a party...I don’t have anyone to party up with now, so I’ll think about it later.”

“As a B-rank Scout, there should be no end to people who want you to join them...”

“Well, I also have my slis. I’ll consider joining a party when I go soplace that is too dangerous to be alone in.”

“...Very well.”

And like that, I accepted the quest and returned to the inn.

Even I wouldn’t go on a three-day trip right after pulling an all-nighter.

...So tomorrow it was. I would finally do my first proper quest as an Adventurer.

I hoped that things would go smoothly.
