Manowa 337

 Chapter 337 - Let's Become Aware of the Son


The prosthetic arm『Cindy』was created by Kazane using various things: materials from the Black Rock Dragon, Beared Dragon, Muscle Clay, etc.

It also had gimmicks, like auxiliary arms, Giant Arm, and the adhesive sword (which hadn't been used in actual combat yet), but its biggest feature was the Thunder God Cannon, which could shoot cannonballs from long range with tremendous destructive power.

That peerlessly powerful armament became known due to the monster hunting quest they received from the Adventurers Guild at the East Dragon Village, and Jinrai started being considered a candidate for rank S at the same time as Ghost King Yohan.

Hyvern's Deputy Guild Master approved after he received a report from Dragonewt City's Adventurers Guild, and Tsuvara's Adventurers Guild Master also approved after a report from the royal family. Minshiana's Guild Master's approval had been on hold, but due to this time's Mad Spider subjugation, he approved, and Jinrai was finally designated as rank S.


(Even though Kazane's more qualified for rank S than me.)


Jinrai cursed in his mind.

Thinking about『Devil King's Intimidation』,『Mega Beam』, etc., Kazane was certainly a target for rank S. However, due to the wishes of God Dragon Emperor Naga and Archduke Rynox, God Dragon Empress Kazane's information was treated as top secret even in Hyvern's Adventurers Guild. As a result, Kazane wasn't considered a candidate for Rank S.

There were such circumstances, and Jinrai also wasn't a fool who would do something like expressly disclose his companion's trump cards. So he swallowed the words he felt like he would blurt out and leaned back on the sofa with a sullen expression. Rank S was a designation, not a promotion. It seemed that Yohan, whose nature wasn't suited for attacking, was able to decide for himself after he was recommended, but Jinrai's Thunder God Cannon was highly dangerous, so he couldn't refuse unless he left the Adventurers Guild.


「Rank S, huh.」


Kazane also heard about it yesterday.

There were non-negligible powers given to a rank S. Concretely speaking, to begin with, they were given command authority equivalent to an Adventurers Guild branch manager, they could use Adventurers Guild facilities for free, and they had high level access to information disclosure.

Also, since they were higher than rank A in form, they could accept quests of any difficulty level. A certain amount of freedom was permitted, and a certain amount of authority was given. But such things didn't also simultaneously create obligations. The various powers given were nothing more than privileges to keep the person tied to the guild.

At the same time, they were also subject to monitoring, but for people with high ability, that wasn't particularly strange. In the first place, for the White Party, it could only be said to be too late to worry about that. If anything, it had stronger meaning as an appeal to relieve the surrounding people by conveying that the guild was monitoring them.

Therefore, rank S was completely different from rank A, which compelled certain obligations, but Jinrai wasn't pleased. If he became rank S because his own fighting power was acknowledged, he might be happy about it, but he was only designated rank S due to the abilities of the prosthetic arm. It was no wonder that he wasn't satisfied with it.


「Hmm. Well, there's nothing I can do about it.」


Jinrai replied with a sigh. Prosthetic arm『Cindy』was now part of Jinrai. That being recognized is surely a happy thing... he thought as he decided to switch his mindset.

「It's helpful that you say that. The official guild card will be issued by the Guild Master in Royal Capital Shubain, so please receive it there.」

「Understood.」

Jinrai had been in a visibly bad mood, and Morlock seemed relieved to see him regain his composure and nod. Rank S meant a person had the ability to destroy a city. Simply displeasing such a dangerous person was terrifying.

Kazane cut in from the side.

「Guild Master... isn't it that elf?」

Kazane also met Minshiana's Guild Master when they accepted the request to subjugate the Black Rock Dragon.

「Ah, that's right, but... hmm. Kazane didn't know?」

「Eh, what?」

Kazane tilted her head, and Jinrai continued「No, we certainly didn't say it directly.」

「Minshiana's Guild Master is Louise Nee-san's son. His name is Runei Cancer.」


「Whatーー!?」


Kazane's eyes widened as she shouted, but from Jinrai's expression, it didn't seem to be a lie. Morlock supplemented Jinrai's words.

「Yes. It seems the Guild Master was reluctant to approve Jinrai-dono as rank S because he's in a party with a relative. It looks like he decided to approve due to this time's matter, however.」

It was a shocking fact.

「Louise Nee-san's children are all excellent people.」

「Ah, well, I've heard about that before.」

In fact, the former archduke of Hyvern was her son.

It seemed she had 7 more children, but Kazane had only heard a little about them, like that they were all strong people and big-wigs. According to Louise, it was the result of giving birth after carefully selecting seeds. She was a fearsome slut Onee-san who personally gave birth to her connections.

Though Louise wasn't just enthusiastic about having children; she enthusiastically strove to raise them well until they were adults, and it seemed she was such a good mother that Kazane also wanted to use her as a reference for Tatsuo.

Anyway, Louise's children weren't the main subject this time, so that conversation didn't continue in particular.


「Also, this can be filled in whenever you request a guild card rewrite, but everyone in the White Party will be given a title for this time's affair.」

「Ah, there was also such a thing.」

For Kazane, this was the first time since Rea King. Actually, they had been active enough to be eligible for other titles since then, but most of those were for secret incidents, so unfortunately, her titles hadn't increased.


「『Liberator』. This title is given to those who have liberated an area invaded by monsters.」


It was a title that was originally given to those who had been suitably active as part of a search and destroy operation while in a party of 10-100 people. It seemed they had judged that the activities of Kazane and the others this time had exceeded that.


「Are there any benefits?」

After Kazane's question, Morlock nodded and answered.

「Yes, there is. In addition to the subjugation reward from the Adventurers Guild, the government will give you a reward. At the moment, the threat level of this matter is still under scrutiny, so the amount will be reported later.」

However, since Jinrai had been confirmed rank S, it was certain that it would be judged to have a high degree of threat.

「Also, it comes with a certain amount of prestige, so a certain level of trust will be given in each city and country, but that may not be much different from the titles that Kazane-sama has earned so far.」

The three subjugation titles that Kazane had earned were Ogre Killer, Dragon Slayer, and from this time, Liberator. Since Dragon Slayer was earned from defeating a dungeon dragon that had a low threat level, Liberator was probably the same rank as Ogre Killer?

Originally, the conditions for giving a title of this class wasn't the number of defeated monsters, but the degree of threat to people as well as the presumed and actual damage to the country.

For Ogre Killer, the threat level was extremely high because the Berserk Ogre swarm aimed directly at a city. On the other hand, for the Demon Wolf subjugation, the damage was only in monster territory, so such a conversation didn't occur.

In some ways, this time was similar to the Demon Wolf subjugation, but the fact that the Mad Spiders had moved from their habitat to invade other areas along with the high fertility of insect-type monsters meant it was a case where Minshiana's Army would have needed to respond. It seemed the Liberator title was judged to be appropriate this time because it was a single party subjugation.

As for the Dragon Slayer title, since the Black Rock Dragon was in a dungeon, its threat level was low, so they normally wouldn't have been given it. The situation was a special case because their contribution to the country due to the growth of Prince Sieg was recognized.



After that, Morlock discussed the liquidation of the materials that were still being appraised, the monster subjugation reward, and the additional Quest reward.

The appraisal itself would be done by the end of the day, and it seemed they would contact them with the results tomorrow, so Kazane and the others would visit the Adventurers Guild Office again tomorrow.

Yumika:「So the Mad Spider subjugation reward and liquidation will be prepared in Shijiri City.」

Kazane:「That's right. The reward from Minshiana Kingdom should be given to us in Royal Capital Shubain. I'll have to try asking Yuuko-nee later.」

Yumika:「And the reward for transporting Hagasu's heart will also be paid at the Adventurers Guild in Shubain, right?」

Kazane:「It's been more than three months since we accepted the request. It's been a long time, huh.」
