After the orc subjugation concluded, we met the guild master in the guild’s reception room.
When we faced the delinquent adventurers, he took our side and currently, he had an awfully apologetic expression.

“I heard what you guys did. Everybody in front of the castle gates saw you guys subjugate the 10 ogres. Additionally, if you didn’t subjugate them, not a small amount of people who couldn’t run away immediately would’ve been killed. Thank you.”
“No, it’s only because I had the means to defeat it.”
“Even so, in the report, I heard that you defeated six ogres with a Mana Crystal worth five small gold coins each shot.”

Shooting a pebble at high speed is possible even for a D-rank magician.
However, a normal rock would break when it hits the monster’s body.
This time, it was possible to break through the defense of the C-rank monster’s mana by using the disposable hardened Magic Crystal, but generally speaking, it’s not a method that can be used many times.

“I’d like to explain the guild’s opinion.”
“Ah, yes. Please do so.”
“We’re very sorry that you guys used these precious Magic Crystals, but within the guild, there was no ogre subjugation request posted, so as a result, there’s no request reward.”

‘Well, it can’t be helped,’ I thought as I nodded.

“However, the ogre’s materials are still completely intact, so the guild will dismantle it. In the case we sell the raw materials, they’ll be worth two small gold coins for one body. Normally, the ogre’s corpses are not intact, and there have never been this many corpses. There were no rewards due to a request, so we added a bit extra.”

If I combined the amount that Tet defeated, the total would be two large gold coins.
Considering that if a normal person used the Mana Crystals, in the same way, they would be at a deficit, but as far as we were concerned, we were plenty in the plus.

“Ughh, Majo-sama~, Tet’s magic gems~.”
“Ah, let’s see. Selling the ogre’s raw materials isn’t a problem, but can we keep the ogre’s magic gem.”
“We don’t mind, but the one that sells for the most is the magic gem though……”
“That girl’s obsessed with magic gems after all.”

He nodded his head as Tet replied, ‘Tet loves magic gems~,’ as I tried to explain the reason.

“There’s a lot of those people. There’s a lot of people who collect the monster’s magic gems that they defeated and decorate as their fruits of battle. Knights and adventurers especially have this tendency, and you can also sell it after you fully enjoy it.”

Animals that are hunted on Earth are made into stuff animals and decorated, but it seems like the object of adornment is the magic gem. 1 I see, the magic gem is in order to display your own achievements…… or at least I think.

“Of course, you can keep the magic gems, but we’d like you to sell a few to the guild.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll sell off the portion I defeated.”
“If so, then it’s six magic gems then. Well then, selling them off for 16 small gold coins fine?”

Being asked that, I nodded my head and agreed.

“Is our conversation finished here?”
“No, I’d like to talk about the rank up for the two of you.”

That being said, I listened carefully to the guild master’s words.

“The ability of the two of you was to subjugate 10 C-rank monsters in front of many people watching you. In addition, the party [Falcon Watching the Wind] also saw you instantly kill orcs which is a high-rank species, so it was judged that there is merit in raising your rank in terms of your ability.” 2

Then, he took a breath, moistened his mouth with a drink, and continued the conversation.

“Your attitude and actions of prioritizing to save human life is highly valued in the guild. As a result of the battle, I thought of raising the two of you up to C-rank.”
“You thought of. That means something’s different, right?”
“Chise. The method you utilized in the ogre fight was high-power physical magic that uses Magic Crystals. However, that can be thought of as utilizing a disposable tool and raising your original strength. Taking that into account, I’d like to raise Chise to D-rank. Tet, who soloed them, to C-rank.”

I wonder if the rank up was just compensation for the deficit of using the valuable Magic Crystals as disposables.
As for me, if I could obtain the minimum requirements of D-rank to enter the dungeon controlled by the guild, I had no objection to the guild master’s proposal.

“I don’t mind—-[Tet doesn’t agree!]…… Tet?”
“Hmph, I want to be together with Majo-sama~! I don’t want to be C-rank by myself~!”
“Wait, Tet!?”

Tet suddenly declared her objection, and I calmed her down while listening to her story, but it seems like she wasn’t pleased with my rank being different.
However, it was unreasonable to raise my rank to C, so Tet herself said that she was going to be D-rank.

“I’ve seen many requests to raise their rank up until now, but this is the first time where the person themself said to lower their rank……”
“Sorry……”
“No need, we haven’t processed the raising in ranks yet, so don’t worry about it. However, if you think about it carefully, suddenly raising your rank from F to C stands out, so guys like those delinquent adventurers from before might have an eye out for you guys. If that’s the case, it might be better to leave it at D-rank for a bit of cushioning. In exchange, I’ll apply for a test exemption and that stuff when you go up to C-rank.”

‘Anyway, if it’s you guys, you’ll raise your rank to C-rank in no time,’ or so he said.

“Yayyy, I have the same card as Majo-sama~.”
“For the time being, congrats on your D-rank.”

While I was finishing up my herb collection request, I received my new card.

“So, what are you girls going to do after this? There should be hunting for orc survivors for the time being in this town.”

The orc king settlement was destroyed, but there were countless orcs that ran away during that time.
The request to kill them was an orc subjugation one, so it became a D-rank request, it seems like there’s no need to be worried about requests.

“We’ve become D-ranks, so we’re going to leave the town and travel to a slightly different place. We have no particular goal and search for a place that looks like it can become a place where we can live in peace.”
“Well, that’s the case if you’re an adventurer.”

As he said that, he put his hand against his chin and was worried.

“Adventurers like you guys will make huge waves wherever you go. I want you to stay in this town, but I’ll be cheering you on.”

Having received the guild master’s encouragement, Tet and I excused ourselves from the guild and returned to the inn.

“To think that the two who defeated the ogres in front of the town’s gate was Chise-chan and Tet-chan! That’s amazing!”

The inn’s daughter was somehow treating us like heroes, but I only had an embarrassed expression and hurriedly returned to my room.

“I’m somewhat worn-out with the various things that happened. Let’s go to sleep for today.”
“Yes, Majo-sama, good night~.”

Then, even though we defeated an ogre, we slept in our bed quietly as usual.
However, when people heard that ogres which were a threat to the town had been defeated, the noise of the people downstairs in the dining hall-cum-bar continued until late at night.

  1. Not the stuffed animal you sleep with, but the kind where you hand the head on your wall.

  2. I CHECKED IN THE RAWS, but the author changed the name of the party they met for some reason, or it might just be a new party we never heard of. I’m more inclined to believe that the author just messed up.

  1. Hmm… I get that they wouldn’t want to over raise the rank of someone who used disposable tools to insta-kill their opponent, but I think they should consider party balance when talking about the party tank soloing the enemy. If you think about a traditional party, that’s like not ranking up the support units because they aren’t on the front lines I think. Not that there’s any real problem with it, but I do think it’s something the guild should be considering it it, especially since a lot of Tet’s power is from the magic provided by Chise.

    Thanks for the chapter!

    1. But eventually a normal adventurer would go bankrupt by doing the thing that Chise did, which means that even if they were C-rank, they would not be able to make a profit which means that they eventually would not be able to continue.
      Of course, for your point that Tet requires Chise to run, the guild doesn’t know that.

  2. I’m waiting for tet to consume some wierd magic Stone and turn into a kemonomimi as a bonus chapter.

  3. It’s refreshing to see a protag be so open, though that’s also potentially dangerous in the long run.

    As for the party name, it’s probably just a typo in the original text.
