The Margrave told us that the appraisal for the Orc King we defeated had been issued, so I headed to the Adventurers’ Guild with Sue, Shiro and the others. As for Silvia-san, she will receive a separate reward for guiding the spectators to safety during the Orc battle.
“Ah, another mark has been added!”
“Since you’ve defeated the Orc King, you’ve been granted the title of Orc Hunter.”
With this, the titles recorded on our adventurer card reached three. Although my adventurer rank remains at D, in practice, it’s treated as equivalent to an A-rank.
“Fran-chan and Horn-chan’s adventurer ranks have been upgraded to E-rank.”
““Yey!””
Fran and Horn’s adventurer ranks increased as expected. They had completed their tasks properly, so even without counting the Orc King’s defeat, the promotion was justified. To celebrate, I’ll buy them a reward later.
By the way, Fran and Horn each hold two titles, making them effectively C-rank adventurers. As a party, they would be equivalent to B-rank, but for now, we don’t plan to take on anything too big.
“Heh, what’s all the fuss from these kids?”
“They’ve only succeeded in some pocket-money-level quest anyway.”
“Hahaha, these little ladies are just too cute. Gahahaha!”
At that moment, a drunkard came up to bother us. Since the Southern Margravate, it had been a while since some foolish adventurer hassled us. Looks like they were talking about Fran and Horn.
Fran and Horn, thrilled about their adventurer rank increase, didn’t notice the drunkard at all.
“Hey! Don’t ignore us!”
“All right, that’s enough here.”
“What the hell are you!? Even the slime’s trying to get in my way!”
One of the drunks became furious, so I stepped in between them.
Sigh… there’s really no reasoning with this type of drunk.
Ao came over to me, looking up at the foolish drunkard.
“Hey, that drunkard just picked a fight with the Lightning Chef!”
“Yeah, and he also went after the Champion. That drunkard won’t make it out alive.”
Uh… people around me are calling me some rather terrible nicknames.
I get the Champion part because Ao is the Champion of the martial arts tournament, but… Lightning Chef? What’s that supposed to mean?
“Excuse me, can we restrain these guys?”
“Yes, they’re disturbing the peace in the guild. Go ahead.”
“Hmph, try it if you dare!”
Having gotten permission from the receptionist, we decided to make this fool in front of us leave.
Crackle!
“““Aahhh!”””
With Ao and my lightning attacks, the drunkards were quickly silenced. The guild staff pulled the paralyzed drunkards away. They are probably in for a harsh reprimand.
Then, I figured I might as well ask the receptionist about the nickname.
“It’s simple. Shun-san is a cook, and you often use electric magic, so that’s how the nickname came about.”
“Um… I’m not really a cook, though…”
As I slumped in disappointment, the receptionist said something even more shocking.
“By the way, Sue-san is known as the Holy Empress. Her healing skills are exceptional, but if you make her angry, she’s terrifying.”
“Ah… ahaha. I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that.”
Sue was happily celebrating Fran and Horn’s level-ups with Shiro, so it was good she didn’t hear this.Indeed, when Sue gets angry, she’s seriously scary.
