“What will be your next step?”
“I will not fall for Count Bakuak’s tricks. Garrison commander, you should step up your vigilance from now and strengthen identity checks on those who enter the city.”
“Certainly! It just so happens that the thugs they paid are from another territory, so this is a good excuse.”
Since such an accident has already occurred, they will now be patrolling with great vigilance. So, in a sense, it is also a formal justification for patrolling.
“Shun, you also need to be vigilant. Sue is with you but considering you’re a promising new recruit, you can handle it for sure.”
“Promising new recruit?”
The Margrave just said something ridiculous.
Are we new recruits?
“I’ll explain the rest.”
As we sat there looking puzzled, the Guild Master came to enlighten us.
“Everyone took a rookie training course, right? That was not a simple training course, it was also meant to measure the ability of the new adventurers.”
“Uhm, actually, I kind of felt that might be the case.”
“Shun and Shiro got the highest evaluation. Sue got a pretty good evaluation before those two.”
“The highest evaluation? But aren’t there other people who have received such evaluations?”
“There were none last year. I think the year before last, there were two people too. That’s how highly evaluated you guys were.”
As for me, I felt like I was just dodging the Guild Master’s attack at that time. To be honest, I didn’t have time to see what kind of fight Shiro was having.
“It’s not an evaluation of just practical skills. It also includes the classroom learning beforehand. There were others who were simply strong, but that’s not good enough, one should be good not just as adventurers, but as people too. Shun and Shiro are observant of their surroundings and are highly regarded by adventurers around you. Above all, the fact that you guys are receiving nomination requests despite being rookies is proof of that.”
“Thank you very much, but I think we are also fortunate to have such good clients.”
“Don’t be humble, even the innkeeper spoke highly of you. It’s also a good practice to train properly every morning.”
Well, it’s kind of amazing to be highly evaluated.
Shiro and Ao are genuinely happy, but Sue seems to be a little embarrassed as well.
“With this rescue, Shun and Shiro will get extra attention, and as was the case during the beginner course, there is a good chance that those two will hold a grudge.”
“Thank you for your advice, we’ll be very careful from now on.”
Now that we know what the Guild Master is trying to say, we’ll be extra careful for the time being.
Then the Margrave gave me some information.
“Depending on the outcome of the investigation, I will make a strong protest to Count Bakuak and write to him that the fine will be further increased.
“If the fine is paid, those two will be released. Once that happens, they will naturally be targeting you.”
“Thank you. Knowing this much, we can definitely take measures.”
“We will also be on high alert so that you will not be harmed over such a trivial thing.”
This was the end of the discussion, and the Margrave once again treated us to dinner.
Since it was the second time, I was able to relax a little and have more time to have a conversation.
“Mmm~, it’s delicious! Seconds please.”
But once again, neither I nor Sue can be as calm as Shiro and Ao.
