CHAPTER 21 – A NEW RECORD

When I felt refreshed enough and changed to a new set of clothes I finally went over to
the guild area. Even from the outside, I could hear some commotion happening inside. Pushing the door open I could hear Odi’s loud voice.

“That is why we must all unite and bring her back either dead or alive.”

“Hurrah! For the Queen!”

I had no idea what was going on or what were they trying to do. I entered the room unnoticed with all the attention on Odi-san and walked up to Volt-san whom I expected to know the reason for all this commotion.

“Excuse me Volt-san, can you tell me what is going on here? Just what is Odi-san planning on doing?”

“Eh? EEH? Naoko-chan? Is that really you? I can’t believe it, you’re alive! Everyone look here, Naoko-chan has returned to us alive and well.”

Upon hearing Volt-san’s shout I suddenly became the center of attention. As soon as the crowd saw me they erupted in cheers and tears were welling up in their eyes. I remembered how they all greeted me with strong killing intent the first day I came here and now they looked so timid and tame.

Breaking free from the crowd took a while, since everyone was trying to come up and see if I was really alive. I had no idea why they thought I was dead in the first place, but they were smothering me a bit. Finally when I reached the counter where Nino-san working I pretended not to notice his flustered look as I greeted him.

“Good evening Nino-san, it is quite the crowd here. I came to turn in my request. This one was really harsh, I haven’t slept since yesterday. I can’t wait to hit the bed after this.”

“Naoko-san, welcome back. You had the D-rank request for the goblin lair extermination, right?”

“Um, yeah, but the guild had wrong information on it. It was not 70-100 goblins. It was much more, took me forever to clear them all out. Not to mention other monsters again. I do not want to see another Rock Spider in my life.”

“We are aware, that is why the request was bumped to be a C-rank request. Do not worry you will be compensated accordingly. I assume that you didn’t dismantle them, did you?”

“You know me too well. This time around there will be a lot of work for the guys back there. Also some corpses are really nasty looking, but overall they should be able to salvage most items from them. But C-rank, how will that affect the contributions for the guild for the sake of rank up I mean?”

“That will depend on how hard the request is. Let’s head over to the dismantling area. I will evaluate the difficulty upon seeing the subjugation proofs.”

Nino-san and I left the guild main hall and as we moved away a train of adventurers
followed us in step. I heaved a sigh but didn’t send them away. I had no right to do so since this was all public area. Besides, I had to give them some credit since they planned on heading outbto save me and bring me back home.

“Grant-san I bring you more work.”

I called out to the person in charge of this building. We were in a love-hate relationship at the moment. I kept on giving him work that he didn’t want to do at all, but on the other hand, thanks to all that, he was able to earn some more money which he liked very much.

“Oh, Naoko-chan, you’re back, and here I was worried because you didn’t come in a few days.”

I knew it; he actually liked me despite his constant complaining every time that I came. around I knew it that he couldn’t resist my charm after all.

“Grant, I must confirm the subjugation proof that she brings, so I will be bothering you for a bit. She should be bringing quite a lot this time since it was a lair that she cleared out.”

“A lot? Last time she said that she brought over 50 goblins and 14 wolves… so how much are we talking about? Will I need to clear out a room for you to dump everything there?”

“Just under 650 corpses, but this time there should be something more interesting to
dismantle. I brought you 5 goblin general corpses and a goblin king one.”

I puffed out my chest saying that number. Despite using a cheat ability in the process of acquiring most of them, I was quite proud of my achievement. Hearing that number Nino-san dropped the pen and the form for processing my request. Grant-san almost fell out of the chair he was sitting in and I heard several screams from behind me and cries calling it a bluff.

“Naoko-chan, don’t mess with this old man, 650, and among them even goblin king and
generals? If you make up stuff at least make it somewhat believable.”

“I’m not lying, here take a look.”

I took out the six corpses and let them have a closer look. The goblin generals were all
cut down, but the king was oddly disfigured but other than that there was no visible wound on the body. When asked about it, I replied that I used magic to attack his internal organs. After getting the permission from Grant-san I dumped the rest of the bodies inside the freezer leaving them grunting about the huge amount of work.

I needed to wait at the guild hall while Nino-san finished up with everything. This will take some time, luckily the room was relatively empty with the majority of adventurers at the dismantling area. Tomorrow I will definitely sleep in and not do anything for the day. After all I needed sleep and I needed it bad.

“Naoko-san, you are amazing. I finished up the process. Killing the Goblin King is a
C-rank request and with how the state of the body was almost perfect it will be counted as completing 7 D-rank requests. Also each Goblin general is a D-rank request in itself, and adding on the lair extermination you have enough contributions to become a D-rank adventurer. And a new record for this guild branch; 3 weeks 5 days. I took the liberty to schedule the rank up exam tomorrow. Now for your payment; here is 4 gold 5 silver which includes compensation for the wrong information. Upon selling the materials you will be given the rest of the payment.”

I stared in disbelief at his words. Rank up already? This was not normal; also why schedule a rank up for me without discussing it with me. I wanted to sleep tomorrow. I don’t want to do anything that will require me to move more than necessary.

I was planning on heading back to the inn after this, but even that took a wrong turn
when I was caught by Odi-san who insisted on celebrating my soon to be promoted. He almost chugged the drink down my throat when I tried to decline. In the end, I decided that one drink couldn’t hurt. I was wrong, very wrong.
