Act 3: Port Town Hospitality

It was early afternoon; three days had passed since Tigaro’s welcome party. After enjoying a meal out together, Oltea, Frieze, and I parted ways with Tigaro and headed to the guild to pick up a request.

Upon arrival, I went to the reception window without delay. When the receptionist noticed me approaching, she greeted me with a bright, cheerful voice.

“Welcome back, Mr. Kaito. I’ve been expecting you! I have an important announcement to share with you!”

“An important announcement?”

“Correct. It concerns your promotion to rank A!”

“Oh, you finally made rank A!” Frieze said.

“That’s amazing, Kaito! That’s the absolute apex for an adventurer!” Oltea said. The two of them were excitedly shaking me by the shoulders while they praised my accomplishment, but truth be told, I didn’t feel much like I’d achieved anything. If anything, I had just satisfied my desire to fire beams.

Even so, I was pleased to be celebrated by my friends like that. I thanked each of them and turned back to face the receptionist.

“So, is there a promotion test for this rank too?” I said. As soon as the question left my mouth, Frieze and Oltea’s enthusiasm dampened. Uncertain expressions spread across their faces to replace the overflowing joy that had been there but a moment prior.

“Oh, right... There’s a test, huh?”

“The A rank promotional exam is almost definitely something terrible too...”

When one spoke of an A level monster, things like Vlad came to mind, and Vlad had manipulated the minds of countless adventurers in an attempt to take over the entire country... Oltea and Frieze’s fear was only natural if we were going to have to face another foe of that caliber. Even I wouldn’t be able to treat the challenge lightly.

The receptionist fished around in her cabinet for a while before withdrawing a paper, which she handed to me, saying, “First, take a look at this.” It was a monster hunt bulletin reading “Devil Flies.” The insects depicted resembled ordinary flies but with the addition of large mandibles like those of a stag beetle. Beneath the rendition was information pertaining to the monster’s danger level, reward, and so on. But this was...

“Is this the right one?” Oltea voiced the question on both of our minds before I was able to.

Frieze, too, nodded and pointed at the bill. “It says here that the monster is...danger level C.”

“It’s as you say: this bulletin is for rank C adventurers. I don’t believe Mr. Kaito has ever taken a request to slay devil flies in the past, so please allow me to begin by first explaining a bit about these monsters,” the receptionist said. While I listened to her, the words of the King returned to me.

On the day of the Spirit Festival, when I was visiting the castle,
