After making sure my guild card was clean at the Adventurer’s Guild, we walked through the dusk-darkened streets back to the inn. Now we would each prepare for tomorrow’s expeditions.

I was given a servant’s room attached to the room designed for nobility, so I first returned with Reinbach to his room.

There, Reinbach handed his coat to Sebas and said, “I am glad to see that guildmaster did not cause you any more trouble.”

“Me too. Thanks to your help, things went very smoothly at the guild here, and I won’t be nervous to use my guild card,” I said.

Maybe it was inevitable, considering that three people who would have received the royal treatment at any guild—the former duke, the former Captain of the Knight’s Order, and the former royal sorcerer—accompanied me, but I was met with utmost respect and service at the Teresa branch. I detected a little awkwardness on the other end, but they ran my guild card, no questions asked. As it turned out, my guild card was properly marked with C-rank, and no records had been added.

“You need only to ask, and I will always lend a hand for something as simple as this. To reiterate what I told you before the sparring match, I owe you a great debt, and this hardly scratches the surface of repaying you... In fact, now it seems I owe you another debt altogether,” Reinbach said.

“Separate from defending Gimul?” I asked.

“Indeed. For agreeing to that match with Sever. To tell you the truth, his spirits have been low for a long time. Aging is one factor, but I suspect his new desk job has not been suiting him well. While he still had opportunities to fight on the front lines, he did well—but ever since he was appointed Captain of the Order... These last few years in particular, it seemed that he had grown weaker every time I saw him. After facing off against you, I see a good deal of the old spark in his eyes. Though I admit I did not expect him to register as an adventurer at the guild... Once he sets his course, there’s no stopping him.”

“Yes... That even surprised me,” I admitted. While we were all happy for Sever’s reinvigoration, none of us expected him to go and become an adventurer.

It was so unexpected that his friends even asked if he wanted to reenlist in the Knight’s Order instead. To that, however, Sever had said, “It would be selfish of me to ask to be reinstated after I retired against the advice of others. Besides, my replacement has already taken over the post. My return would disrupt not only the Order but all departments. As an adventurer, I will use whatever time and strength is left in me for the betterment of others.”

Sever was determined, just as he must have been when he’d resigned from the Knight’s Order. In the time it had taken for them to review my guild card, he had already registered. As an A-rank, I might add—with his promotion to S-rank almost guaranteed.
