Infinite Gacha - Chapter 211

The first Lilith level-up was successfully completed.

This time, Lilith reached level 100, but we had to stop because she seemed to be mentally at her limit.

The level 100 mark will be carried over to the next day.

She wants to resume her level-up work tomorrow, but she should work on recovering from the mental damage.

She is a busy person herself.

undefinedEven though there is a perfect substitute for her in "UR, Double Shadow," it is not a reason for her to skip her official duties, since her memories cannot be transferred.

It would be meaningless if the person cannot return to work because he/she skipped too much.

Therefore, the level-up work will be resumed not immediately tomorrow, but when Lilith has time to spare again. As for her equipment, we will temporarily take care of it at the "Giant Tower.

In the meantime, we will not just play around, we will do what we need to do.

So, what are the "things to do"?

We, the "dark" adventurers, are to raise our adventurer rank to A level.

According to Lilith, "We need Adventurer Rank A in order to participate in the Six Principality Conference as royal guards, but with Light-sama's help, we should be able to get it by the time of the conference.

For some time now, I have been gathering information on the ground by creating an adventurer named "Dirk.

It is not difficult to get Adventurer Rank A because I can set up roots in various countries and have a decent track record. ......

If I had not created an adventurer named "Dirk" before, it would have been a close call.

Lilith's level-up work, the next day.

The next day, me, Nemmu, and Gold, as a party of "Black Clown" adventurers, set out for the ground to take Adventurer Rank A. We were the only ones who could make it to the top of the class.

We were headed for a town in the Dwarf Kingdom near the border of the Queen Elf Kingdom, where we first stayed and had a run-in with Kite, an elf species.

......The streets haven't changed, as expected.

Well, it's only been a few months since we left.

But thanks to you, I can get to the location of the Adventurers' Guild without getting lost.

Gold and Nemum continue to open their mouths in response to my impressions.

As usual, the city had a large number of adventurers due to the presence of useful dungeons.

Too close to the borders of the Queen Elf Kingdom, which has been in dispute with the Dwarf Kingdom for many years, there are few Elven species and many Dwarf species are visible.

Next, when I was here before, I saw many adventurers of the beast race, but now there were only sparsely represented.

In fact, there are more human adventurers now.

Incidentally, the reason why this city was chosen for the adventurer A level up is because ...... in the Elven Queen State or the Dwarf Kingdom capital, there is a high possibility of various questions from the guild side, and in the case of the Beastmen United States, there was a recent massacre, so there was a high possibility of internal problems. The procedure takes a long time because the mess has not settled down yet.

On the other hand, this town has a connection with our party of black clowns, and we are acquainted with the Adventurers' Guild, so the process will go smoothly.

That is why we chose this town.

We move toward the Adventurers' Guild without hesitation, as this is where we used to work as a single adventurer until a few months ago.

As we moved, we were approached by some familiar faces, including some adventurers, and we waved them in, and headed for the Adventurers' Guild.

The inside of the Adventurers' Guild has not changed at all.

There is a board on the wall, and a piece of paper with a request for a quest on it. It was almost empty, and the place was deserted, as it was still late in the afternoon.

We came to the guild at this time of the day when there was the least amount of time to spare, as adventurers returning from the dungeon would line up near evening.

We headed for the window on the opposite side of the board, where the receptionist was located.

The receptionists of the Adventurers' Guild were standing at each window, separated by a small wooden frame.

Since the guild is located in the Dwarf Kingdom, the receptionists are basically Dwarf women.

When one of them noticed our appearance, her eyes lit up and she raised a high-pitched voice filled with joy.

Isn't that Dirk-sama and the others?　When did you get here?

It's been a while, we just got here today."

One of the dwarf species receptionists approached me in a very friendly manner.

We made our way to her window in a familiar manner.

At first she looked down on us, saying, "You human (inferior species) have a cheeky habit,......," but her attitude suddenly changed when she began to secure large quantities of ice magic stones, which are in high demand, and wholesale them to the guild.

They welcomed us with open arms, a 180-degree turnaround from before.

The Dwarf receptionist asked me with sparkling eyes, "What do you want from me?

Are you returning to the dungeons of this city, by any chance?　If so, my guild is ready to back you up, Master Dirk and the others!"

Haha, thank you very much. But I'm not here to return to the dungeon, I'm here to move up to Adventurer A level.

She wore the mask of "SSR, Mask of the Clown," and I told her about this business while unintentionally letting out a slight giggle at her attitude under it.

The receptionist blandly shrugged her shoulders.

I'm not sure if that's so. ...... If Dirk and the others would return, we could meet the demand for ice magic stones a little better. ...... is, eh?　Are you moving up to Adventurer Class A?"

Yes, here are the letters of recommendation from each country.

Disappointed at not getting the ice magic stone, she immediately notices something strange.

When she heard that we were going up to Adventurer A level, her eyes went black and white.

Currently, we are in rank C.

C-class is a rank that is normally reserved for seasoned adventurers who have been adventurers for three or four years and are finally allowed to move up in rank.

However, we were able to move up to the C level because of the information we obtained and passed on from the "adventurer-killer" Kite.

It is a tremendous honor to be promoted to C level in such a short period of time after qualifying as an adventurer.

But in a few months, he had also reached the "A" level, which is a kind of milestone for an adventurer.

The receptionist can't help but be more confused than astonished.

The receptionist is confused, but checks the letter of recommendation given to her.

The Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen Alliance ...... all of the letters of recommendation are genuine!　Eee!　How can you be an A-level adventurer in just a few months? ......, what on earth have you done, Master Dirk and the others?"

I know this is a national secret, but if the receptionist wants to know, I can give her a special ......

No, I'm sorry, I was indiscreet. So please don't tell me, I don't want to die yet. ......

The "Beastmen Allies" illegally imprisoned a race of people and held them hostage to threaten the "Giant Tower. At that time, we cooperated with the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' to rescue the hostages. We were supposed to be 'giving them a big credit for that achievement.

The fact that the Allied Beast Nation had illegally imprisoned people and taken them hostage was kept a secret and treated as a state secret.

However, it is difficult to stop the mouths of a race of people who have been captured, held hostage, and released by illegal means. ......

This is a state secret because there is no need to lower the status of the Alliance of Beastmen any further.

The Dwarf species receptionist thought it was 'dangerous for herself' to hear 'dangerous stuff treated as a state secret' from a party of adventurers who had risen to Adventurer A level in a short period of time, and she politely apologized.

Since I had no intention of mistreating her any further, I let it slide.

The receptionist said, "Please wait a moment while I inform the head of the guild.

A few minutes later, we were called by the guild leader and moved to the back of the Adventurers' Guild.

After moving to the back of the Adventurers' Guild, the contents of the letter of recommendation were checked, and the official procedure was completed to upgrade our rank to Adventurer A level.

However, because of the various procedures required, he could not immediately call himself a "Class A Adventurer.

He will be staying in town for a while to complete the procedures.

The two of us will be staying at the same inn we stayed at before, right?　They know what they're doing, so it'll be a lot easier.

Because their faces are hidden by masks, they inevitably have to eat, etc., and explain to other guests.

It is easier to stay in a place where you have stayed before than in a new place from scratch, because you know each other.

I don't mind.

I have no problem either. The food is not very good, but it is tolerable.

Gold readily agrees, and Nemum agrees, but expresses dissatisfaction with the food at the inn.

Inevitably, the food at the lowest level of the "abyss" is better.

So Nemmu's assessment is reasonable, and I can't say anything myself, but I can't help but laugh under my mask.

After receiving permission from the two to stay at the inn, I was about to move on when I was stopped by a familiar voice.

Brother!　Miss, isn't that you, boy!　I'm so glad you came back!"

When we turned to look, we found the bears, who had previously tangled with us and then reformed after being defeated by Gold, standing there.
