BXBX NOVEL 172 Episode 115: S-Rank Swordsman And Estaire Recommendations
When I was having trouble reacting, Kuga stood two fingers and continued the conversation.
"There are two reasons. One is that I want to compare forces with you purely. If you\'re referring to Claude and his masters, you have the strength to do so, don\'t you? The Adventurer Rank seems to be low, but sometimes it seems that some strong people stop at C-Rank, and that\'s not so strange."
Sure, because there are words like \'C-rank stop\'.
Apparently those who neglect the obligations that accrue to adventurers above the B rank will do it. You mean me.
"He\'s a strong man I never knew before. You deserve to want to deal with them, don\'t you?
"No, I don\'t know what that feels like."
I\'m sorry to hear that.
Kuga says in a way that doesn\'t look so bad.
Except for the story, if there\'s a reason, but basically I\'m not a combat freak enough to challenge the fight senselessly.
At least, saying \'cause they seem strong\' doesn\'t make me a reason to fight.
However, \'cause it sounds interesting\' is a reason for it, though it\'s a troublesome place for me.
"Here\'s the second reason. I want to take you down and show Mr. Lucea the good part."
"I don\'t understand what you\'re saying?
For some reason, the subject of Lucea suddenly came up.
Lucea doesn\'t act as an adventurer right now, but she used to act with Claude and the others at one time, so is it a relationship around?
"First to confirm, you\'re Mr. Lucea\'s \'Lord\', aren\'t you? He\'s got a good chance of coming out when you talk to Mr. Lucea."
Lucea, you haven\'t changed much outside...
That said, since Lucea and I rarely act outside the mansion, don\'t worry about how Kuga came to the conclusion that\'s what he said.
"Why did you think I was the Lord of Lucea?
"From the stories of Claude and the others, I made the prediction that Mr. Lucea\'s" Lord "would be the same person as Claude and his masters. There was no certainty, but as far as that reaction goes, you\'re not wrong, are you?
Maybe Claude accidentally slipped his mouth.
I looked at Claude more disappointingly and he had eyes as if he had given up living. My people are comforting Claude like that.... No, I\'m not going to do anything terrible.
Well, I don\'t know how to answer Kuga......
It\'s not like they took a pledge, so I can argue that it\'s not Lucea\'s "Lord," but it\'s also true that it\'s not enough to lie about things.
In fact, as there is an apparent relationship with Claude and the others, there is also an apparent relationship with Lucea.
My true relationship with Lucea is "husband and slave", but "employer and maid" is what I would call a superficial position. It\'s generally not a mistake, and it would be number one to use this.
"Oh, I am the Lord of Lucea. You\'re an employer who hires Lucea as a maid."
"Is it still true? I didn\'t know what it meant because you wouldn\'t tell me more about the \'Lord\', but was it the employer as I thought it would be? I didn\'t think there was ever a slave in a boulder..."
Too bad! I was really a slave!
"I\'ll tell you one thing first, I\'m in love with Mr. Lucea. I\'ve already confessed several times, but I\'m losing everything without an island to attach by saying," I\'m giving everything to the Lord. "
Apparently, Kuga is in love with Lucea.
Well, isn\'t it surprising that Lucea has someone to fall in love with because she\'s beautiful?
"I was a little anxious because some of the rumors about Claude and his masters were that he was\' already dead \'. If the other person is the deceased, there\'s nothing you can do about it. But not if the\' Lord \'is a living person. I still have plenty of chances."
Kuga fingers me and declares.
"By dueling with you and winning, you show Mr. Lucea my strength! Let Mr. Lucea see that I am stronger than the Lord who gave it all!
Strong determination can be seen in its eyes.
"It\'s an unlikely assumption, but even if this man beats Jen, I don\'t think there\'s any reason Mr. Lucea would like the person who hurt Jen..."
But Maria\'s thoughts (comments) told me that Kuga\'s determination was futile.
I feel pretty empty, but I understood Kuga\'s story.
There\'s no reason to be uncomfortable, and maybe you can take this duel.
Maria, I\'m going to take this duel depending on the terms.
Are you sure? S-rank adventurers are treated equally to nobility. Doesn\'t that fall under Jen\'s loathsome \'Trouble Related to Nobility\'?
I see. If you ask me, is there anything I can\'t take from the trouble of the aristocracy?
But I didn\'t come here using the abusive way I said I would force myself to apply for a duel wearing power, and I have no aversion to the arrogant nobility.
"I don\'t just hate nobility, I just don\'t care about the pride characteristic of nobility. If you don\'t have that pride, you can take it normally as far as I\'m concerned.
"Okay. I don\'t think so, but please be careful."
I guess Maria also checked Kuga\'s status and decided she wasn\'t my opponent.
Well, the next thing you should check would be each other\'s multiplies (bets).
If we don\'t decide on this, we won\'t get a duel.
"What are you going to bet on that duel, as it\'s good to give up 100 steps?
"A stake... I\'m fighting a strong guy, and if I win, I can show Mr. Lucea a good place, so I don\'t want anything, and that\'s gonna hurt you unilaterally."
Hmm, roaring couga to think.
"I\'d simply like to say \'gold\', but the fact that you haven\'t received a request at the level of freezing your adventurer credentials either means you\'re in considerable difficulty or you\'re wealthy enough not to have to take a request,... maybe the latter, right?
"Oh, you\'re not particularly troubled."
I haven\'t received a request, but my personal assets are increasing by passing on what I have acquired to the Advanced Chamber of Commerce. Recently, nostalgia has been moistened with jewelry dug up in "The Cave of the Gnome".
Well, if we talk about extremes, the Advanced Chamber of Commerce itself is like an asset to me, but I call the Chamber\'s earnings, which I don\'t even run on my own, my own, because there\'s some pitiful stuff.
"Ah, Mr. Kuga. Jen has a hobby for collecting magic tools (magic items). I don\'t think it\'s going to be a problem if you\'re the one who got it during this time."
"Hmm..."
So Claude, who was watching, gives out a help boat.
I\'m not so enthusiastic about it, but it\'s true that magic tools (magic items) collection is a hobby. I don\'t know what to say, there\'s a lot of playful stuff.
With my interest, Kuga also seemed to realize it was working, but he immediately looked like he had chewed up a bitter bug.
"A, that\'s it... Sure would be enough for the hanging, but I got the corner..."
Apparently, the magic tool (magic item) in the matter is a spare level of silo stuff to hang for Kuga as well.
Excuse me for a moment.
Truth Bell
Remarks: When you detect a lie, a sound sounds.
"When magic tools (magic items) become a multiplier, now don\'t lack this wager. Instead, we\'ll add Lucea to the party."
"Okay, I\'m on it! My bet is this magic tool (magic item). Lie in front of this bell and the sound will ring."
"Mr. Kuga......"
The magic tools (magic items) were interesting inside, so I gently raised the hanging, and they caught me well enough.
The effect of this magic tool (magic item) can be substituted by skill, so I\'m not saying it\'s mandatory.
"Well, let\'s get this duel started."
"Wait! I have to call Mr. Lucea. It makes sense..."
"Thank you, Lord, for waiting"
"Huh!?
As Kuga tried to hang the wait, Lucea came into the Adventurer\'s Guild.
At the time you needed to call Lucea, it was decided to call you, wasn\'t it?
Kuga heard something, but ignored it and we headed to the guild\'s training ground.
The only training ground we\'ve arrived at is Wang Du\'s guild, which seems to be fairly well equipped.
We\'ll split up on both ends of the training ground and start preparing for each.
"I expected it, but you have a lot of audience (galleries)"
"It\'s a battle between the A-rank Adventurer Master and the S-rank Adventurer. There\'s no need to get noticed. It\'s nothing more than that. Looks like I said a lot of extra things..."
I look sorry for Claude for following me.
Almost everyone who was earlier near the entrance to the Adventurer Alliance is following the training ground.
"Never mind. Things are changing from the time I picked you up. Now you don\'t have to keep the relationship as secret as you did then."
At that time, it was Eldia and Brave Associated (especially Weaver), moving in the direction of hiding who they were because it was depressing to get caught in the extra Gotagota.
Now the disturbing Eldia has vanished and the brave have gained the power to kick it off without any problems. I don\'t want to stand out for nothing, but not enough to say I really have to hide who I am.
"It would be helpful if you could say that..."
"Good for you, Claude. Lord Jen forgives me."
"Yeah."
My buddies, starting with Koko, care about Claude, who is horrified.
... Me, they think I\'m that scary?
A: Approximately, but I just said 60% respect, 40% fear.
What information…….
Well, the first time I enslaved him, I intimidated him using even the < fear > of composite skills, and I thoroughly slapped him up and down the relationship, so there\'s no reason for him to remain afraid.
I\'ll take a training weapon, a one-handed sword, to the center of the training ground.
A training weapon is a magic tool (magic item) with the characteristic that comfort remains a normal weapon and does no damage to the target.
Because if an S-rank adventurer makes a bee duel without insurance, it won\'t be a sprinkle.
"Ready? You\'ve never used that weapon before, have you?
"Oh. No problem."
I tried to shake it gently, but there was no particular problem.
Now I use one \'English Spirit Knife/Unfinished\', but it\'s about as good as I used a gob sword in the beginning, and I\'m not saying I can\'t use a one-handed sword.
"So are you ready for both?
referee, or the witness, was to be conducted by Claude.
In the meantime, I am convinced that Kuga is also convinced that there will be no sluggishness, even though it will be said to be a related party of mine. In fact, if you do that, I won\'t forgive you...
"Oh."
"No problem."
Set up weapons against each other.
Kuga\'s weapon is a pretty gigantic sword. I treat that lightly.
"Okay, here we go!
"Ha!!!
The moment Claude declared his initiation, Kuga kicked the ground and slashed the Great Sword into a horizontal sword.
Sword speed, orbit, power, all of which were sophisticated slaughters that made years of training feel like it.
I wave my sword in orbit against the big sword that comes towards me and against Kuga.
Each other\'s swords bump into each other in the front of us, making a tall noise.
- Gakin!
"Wow!?
Unable to withstand the impact the swords hit each other, the great sword of Kuga blew away.
I was hitting the second shot in Kuga\'s abdomen without seeing the end of Kuga\'s sword.
"There\'s a battle."
"There\'s a battle! Winner, Master Jen!
The game ends with Claude\'s declaration.
It\'s been a long time since I finished lightly, but there\'s a reason for this.
"Ha, no way, I didn\'t think I\'d lose compared to simple power. No, if you look at the sword muscle, you can see it\'s at least as powerful as me..."
Kuga sits down at the training ground and honestly admits to losing.
As it\'s good to stand out to some extent, I\'m not going to show you much in my hand.
So he decided not to use his extra skills, but only his arm and sword strength to go to win.
"Your slaughter was pretty good, too."
It feels good to watch and say how to fight without thinking about extra small craftsmanship and purely specializing in slaughter.
When I saw Kuga\'s slaughter, I knew intuitively that I was putting all my efforts into the first shot.
Then I thought I\'d have to do it against that one shot, and I focused on the first shot settled (though the effective hit is the second, to be exact).
"It would help if you could say that.... the boulders are the masters of Claude and the others. Looks like Claude and the others are fighting a lot differently."
"Well, there are other bills."
"Right. Shit, I couldn\'t pull your full weight, then."
I say it remorsefully, but I don\'t have negative feelings in my eyes.
... I wouldn\'t hate to fight a legitimate opponent like this either. Too bad there aren\'t too many.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."
"You\'re lying, aren\'t you? No matter how much you say you\'ve freshly become an S-rank, your strength itself is real!
"Plus, you sink a cougar with two names," Duplicate, "on the other hand, with a first shot. That\'s not what you can do with a lot of strength."
"So you\'re saying the other adventurer is more than S-ranked"
That\'s right, the surrounding audience (gallery) is getting noisy.
After that, the two names of Kuga are "one-off". Sounds like it.
"I don\'t like being too noisy, so it\'s time for me to let you go"
"I just want to hear more..., what can I do? See, this is the promise mon."
That said, Kuga throws me a magic tool (magic item) that is a hanging.
"Sorry."
"Don\'t worry about it. I\'m the one who rode.... Ha, that\'s a long way to go to Mr. Lucea"
Leaving Kuga laughing at herself on the spot, I left the training ground behind.
It should be added that Claude and the others were asked to be flesh shields in order to avoid being involved in vain. Even those that slipped through were fed by Fear.
Whoa, don\'t let a big adult leak it in front of the public.
There was a report from Claude and the others that night.
"I am going to move the place of activity to the Kingdom of Estea in order to get the necessary recommendations for the S-rank"
"It\'s relatively close to Kastal, and it\'s a country with deep ties to Jen."
"I didn\'t think it would be hard to get recommendations because that country has so few adventurers."
Julia the High Elf and Coco the Dog Beast Man put supplements in Claude\'s report.
These three are among the adventurers with a high level of leadership and often report on their behalf.
"Sure, there\'s a chronic shortage of adventurers in the estate, so it would be just fine for Claude and the others to work to get S-rank recommendations"
For the record, the number of adventurers has increased since we first went to Estea.
Of course, it is a maid. Estea is the land I essentially manage, so I\'m letting my maids handle the big impact problems.
The Advanced Chamber of Commerce is becoming a client because it is also difficult to assume that adventurers are operating free of charge. It\'s not the kind of trouble the Advanced Chamber of Commerce has to deal with, but it\'s part of the charity.
Advanced Chambers of Commerce are appreciated for their philanthropy, and maid adventurers are appreciated for fulfilling their requests. Adventurer Alliance makes money with an intermediary margin. And the residents of the area are kept safe.
This is what we call the perfect Win-Win relationship. Also known as Match Pump.
"There are a few connections in Estea, so you shouldn\'t be crippled. There are mansions in the capital, so do you want to stay there?
"Absolutely!" x 8
Claude and his enthusiastic hopes led him to call his stay in the capital my mansion. For once, we are going to say until we create a separate base...
By the way, Conne is a royal (Cattleya) or female knight (Elysia).
For the most part, they have a cone close to the top of the country and are not crippled. However, I should also add that there is an increased likelihood of getting involved in extra trouble.
"In the meantime, shall I call all Estea officials?"
I summoned people who were working in Estea because of the conversation.
"Are you calling? Mogmog......"
Cattleya came from the dining room first. You were at Castar\'s mansion.
Anything, he said he was having a late dinner. You come here almost every meal. Koitz.
"I\'m here!
"" Sorry to disturb you ""
Excuse me, sir.
A little late, Cynthia, Karen, Soura and Kate\'s Estea Adventurers group have also transferred.
Several other officials from the Estea Kingdom branch of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce also came. This one leaves the call to Lucea.
"Now, did Estea\'s officials call it all in?
Some musicians (Feuille) and vampires (Mira) belong to the musicians, in the sense that they work in the estate, but there would be no reason to call them to this gathering.
For once, the Crimson Empire Empress (Rouge) and the others are working in the labyrinth... but I don\'t care.
"This time, Claude and the others are moving places of activity to the Kingdom of Estea in order to become S-ranked. I want everyone to help me with that."
"So what do Cynthia and the others have to do?
"Sure, Cynthia and the others qualified as adventurers, right?
"Yes, I have them all. To the extent that the qualification is maintained in the collection request…"
In response to my question, Kate says she seems sorry, but I can\'t say anything because I\'m the same.
I mean, I recently failed to maintain my credentials and it was frozen......
"I\'m thinking of getting Cynthia and the others into Claude\'s clan."
"I got it."
"" Yes ""
Yes, sir.
"Uh, what does that mean?
The four nodded without hesitation, but Claude and the Adventurers didn\'t seem to understand what it meant.
"Cynthia and the others recently broke through 40 layers of the labyrinth. At the same time, we have unveiled the reach hierarchy within the Kingdom of Estea, making it the most famous explorer today."
"It is!
When I was flown to another world by Weaver, they repeated quite a few battles in the labyrinth to secure my status.
As a result, there was a significant amount of status to be restored to them, in addition to their dedication to me.
We were able to afford the status, so we speeded up our Labyrinth attack a little and finally defeated the 40-layer boss, Reaper. Cynthia\'s a brave man, so she\'s good at attacking light attributes, and she defeated them at risk.
And by publicizing the feat of reaching 40 floors to the public, Cynthia and the others have become the biggest celebrities in the One-Leap Estate Kingdom.
Anything, you think the royal family called you to give the king a compliment straight away? The king\'s daughter, Cynthia, is having a grip next to her...
Doesn\'t matter, Cynthia and the four of them are working as explorers in maid clothes. The nickname is Battlemaid.
"I\'m aligned with your husband!
That\'s what Cynthia flipped out of it was a black cape. It is the wing (Nosferatu) of the immortal you know. It\'s Reaper\'s first crusade, and I\'m taking care of him.
I was the first to defeat Reaper, and since I became a Dungeon Master, I decided that the first Crusade Perk should be revived.
Well, it\'s my subordinate (Cynthia) who got that, so this one doesn\'t go away with the match-pumping look either.
After that, you don\'t look good in a black cape on your maid\'s clothes. Cynthia doesn\'t seem to care......
"If those Cynthias put Claude and the others in the clan, it would be nothing more than a publicity effect. Claude and Cynthia are already celebrities. corner visibility, you\'d better use it well, wouldn\'t you? Maybe it\'ll be a shortcut to S-rank."
To be famous is also to say that there will be more trouble.
But it would be effective if I were to say it would be S-ranked.
"The troubles generated by becoming famous want to ask Cattleya and the Advanced Chamber of Commerce to follow up. I wonder if I can make a direct nomination request later. It would be easier to get S-rank recommendations if you showed them that you were being cordial with the Royal Family and the Grand Chamber of Commerce, right?
"That\'s it, have you been thinking..."
Claude gives the look of surprise.
This is why I called in officials from Cattleya and the Advanced Chamber of Commerce.
"Okay. Claude, if you say it\'s for Jen, I won\'t spare your cooperation."
"Yes, the Advanced Chamber of Commerce will do its best to back it up"
Katrea, representatives of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce also nod.
"Jen, why are you suddenly helping us? Until now, I thought that Jen\'s policy was not to provide direct help..."
Sure, I\'ve rarely helped Claude and his adventurers before.
That\'s because Claude and the others didn\'t like putting cross spears in the stuff they piled up. Never, it\'s not relentless. No.
When we talk about it in the first place, it can also be said that benefiting from alien powers is the number one help.
"The Claudes have become A-rank adventurers and have taken two recommendations for S-rank adventurers. It\'s only a matter of time before they take the third, isn\'t it? Then there must be nothing wrong with moving forward quickly. \'Cause it\'s not just about giving those who haven\'t done anything, it\'s about the difference between early and late."
Just try to talk a little faster to someone who has enough strength and track record.
Nor is it what can be described as aid. If that bothered you, Claude and the others would have nodded comfortably, even if they had asked directly.
"... ok. We want to do everything in our power to meet Jen\'s expectations."
"Don\'t worry too much. I told you to make an effort, but I\'m not telling you to make it impossible."
I asked Claude because I remembered.
"With that said, what are you going to do with the trip to Estea?
"Of course, it\'s meant to be a carriage..."
"Don\'t take too long.... Okay, let\'s put him on the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)"
"Yes!?
Castar, even though it\'s relatively close between the estates, it still takes nearly two weeks.
Anyway, if the journey is an end in itself, as I do, it is a huge burden to say that it will take two weeks to travel for those who do not.
If you use \'Portal\', it\'s a moment, but then you lose your alibi.
It is therefore the turn of Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) transport. It is the turn of the mysterious masked knight Gene.
I\'m not even going to fly the dragon race (Dragon Newt) across the border to the boulder, but at least I\'m going to carry you to the border with Estea, the border I once crossed.
From there, the city of Lilia is close, and if you care about it, you can make shortcuts with phase transition stones. You can make an alibi by saying… and use the \'portal\'.
But Claude shook his head sideways at my suggestion.
"You can\'t be so sweet to Jen. We\'re used to carriage trips, and you don\'t have to worry about it, do you?
"Hmm, that being said, it\'s obviously a waste of time... Yes, as a foot for mobility, let\'s give you an inferior wind dragon (Wyburn)"
The inferior wind dragons (Wyburn) that we gave to the Knights of Castar are still treasured after the war against Eldia, he said.
Inferior Wind Dragon (Wyburn) does not have a high (set) combat capability per se, but it seems that it is often dispatched to various locations as an emergency force due to its high mobility. In addition, it is a strength that some opponents can unilaterally attack from the air.
There will be nothing more crazy than Sakya being a queen to use for aggression.
And I gave it to Sakuya, so I wouldn\'t have a problem giving it to her subordinate.
"If it were to be an S-rank, it would broaden the scope of action more than ever. I don\'t think you\'ll have a problem with convenient legs. One for each person."
Claude and the others are partying, but they\'re not doing solo activities at all.
Therefore, every inferior wind dragon (Wyburn) would also be mandatory.
"That\'s... I know it would be useful if it did..."
"I\'m not going to give it to you from me, so I\'m going to give it to you in Gene\'s name. If you decide to tell Gene and I have a date, and you give him the Bad Wind Dragon (Wyburn) with that handout, you\'ll have no problem."
"Oh, you\'re sure to give it away already"
"Oh, it\'s decided"
To tell you the truth, there is only one concern or concern.
Today, Claude and his master announced what they would call me.
If you decide to tell Jean and I have a date on top of that, there\'s a good chance that Jean and I will find out about the same person. I can\'t tell you my fake name is working.
Of course, where I found out, there wouldn\'t be a big problem...... Because for the upper echelons of this country, it\'s a public secret about me and Gene.
Small objects that do not know the details will not be dealt with, and those who know the details will speak.
There\'s no room for problems, is there?
"Well, think of it like a pre-celebration of ranking up to S-rank. You may be quick, but I can assure you that you guys have the strength to be S-ranked."
Sebastian, Kuga, I\'ve defeated two S-rank adventurers, and I\'ve seen many S-rank adventurers in the uproar of the Demon Nation (Romarier), and I\'m going to push my heartbeat.
To be clear, there won\'t be 10% of S-rank adventurers who can beat the Claudes right now.
"If Jen is going to say that much, I would appreciate it. I will definitely meet Jen\'s expectations and become an S-rank adventurer."
"Oh, I hope so. Claude, Knott, Adele, Coco, Rollo, Sicily, Illis, Julia"
"Yes!" x8
The eight Claudes replied out loud and went back to their base (Cranhouse).
"Cynthia wants an inferior wind dragon, too."
Cynthia whines after Claude and the others leave.
"Cynthia, don\'t hesitate."
"Cynthia, you have no hesitation."
"I don\'t even think we need an inferior wind dragon (Wyburn) to operate in the labyrinth..."
I can take the Tamed Demon into the Labyrinth itself, but I don\'t really hear demon (Tamer) enter the Labyrinth because I will need extra phase transfer stones.
In the first place, flying demons can\'t fight decently with restricted movement... Yeah, on a 40-story platform, demons fly, too, so I have a turn. Far away.
"If you ask me, I did. It\'s a shame..."
"Dear Jen, can\'t you also deploy inferior wind dragons (Wyburn) to the Estea Kingdom? I heard from Sakuya, and I thought she was jealous."
Ignoring Cynthia, who softly drops her shoulders, Katrea says, who remained as well.
Sakya, you were blowing your country\'s military might at your neighbor\'s royal opponent.
A: Katrea has also leaked quite a bit of state secrets.
Is that all right with you, the royal family of the great powers...
"There\'s nothing to say, but don\'t lose too many big names. Gene is only a Knight of Castar, and you won\'t be able to twist the excuse to give a Poor Wind Dragon (Wyburn) to your neighbor on a boulder"
"Right...... Sure, I can\'t think of anything any time soon."
"Let me know when you come up with a good excuse. The number of inferior wind dragons (Wyburn) you give will also vary depending on their content, so do you intend to?
"!? but I\'ll do my best!
Let\'s say you give away one inferior wind dragon (Wyburn) per score gained, out of 100.
50 points or less would be rejected.
"Cynthia and the others will give you Bad Wind Dragon (Wyburn) and everything in celebration once they\'ve cleared the 50 layers of the labyrinth, so do your best."
"We work hard!
"" I\'ll do my best!
Even in lieu of this life.
"Kate, it\'s heavy!
Cynthia puts in a penetration against Kate, who only one person answers with a different color.
I can replace my life, it\'s usually annoying.
