CCM 40 – Yo, it’s Getting Really Rowdy Tho

---

The following morning.

I, who has thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast served by Maeri, along with Rei, spurts immediately into the adventurer’s guild.

.

As for Maeri, she will be on house sitting duty today.

I can’t really say that she’s working for me as I am not paying her so I am just letting her do what she pleases.

.

Still.

.

[It is my duty to provide Arios-sama a warm welcome everyday when he gets back.]

.

So Maeri says as she tells me as well her intention of not leaving the village. I just can’t really be anymore grateful to her.

.

By the way, it appears that the news regarding the hideout has already spread immediately through the village.

.

Due to it, the nickname ‘the newbie adventurer – Arios-san’ is being whispered around.

.

[O-onii-chan]

.

What’s more, some of the people that were held prisoners back in the hideout yesterday are residents of this village.

.

They immediately bow their heads just as they see us passed by.

.

[I, when I grow up, I will marry you, Onii-chan!!!]

[Haha… I see.]

.

Didn’t expect to get a pretty cute confession though.

.

Now then.

It took us a while but we have now arrived in the guild where we immediately see the guild master Arturo waiting for us before he gives us a warm welcome.

.

[Ooo! Arios! You have arrived!]

[Yes… Perhaps I arrived too early?]

[No no no. I have been waiting for you.]

.

Arturo shows us a smile before he shows us both of his hands holding a large single pouch.

.

…Uhm, the nearby adventurers giving us weird stares though.

Why does it feel like all of them waited for me as well?

.

[This is your official reward. Do not hesitate to accept the fruits of your labor.]

[Th-this much…?]

.

I’ve been thinking since before I received it but isn’t there too much money inside this pouch?

Is it really fine for them to give me this much?

.

I am not really sure about this but let’s accept it for the mean time.

.

Then.

.

[OOfuuu…!]

.

The heck.

This is quite heavy though.

.

[A, Arturo-san. Don’t tell me…]

[Fumu. Five gold coins, eight large silver coins, and three coins of silver. Feel free to-]

[How can I accept these!]

.

I can’t help it but I decided to cut Arturo’s words from there.

.

This is an absurd amount of money.

For instance, a single gold coin is enough for a person to last a month without any worries.

.

By the way, the value of money is as follows:

.

.

1 gold is equivalent to 10 large silvers.

1 large silver is equivalent to 10 silvers.

1 silver is equivalent to 10 bronze coins.

.

Long story short, with just a single quest, I was able to secure money equal to five month of living expenses.

.

[Fumu? What’s the matter? Was it not enough?]

[No no no, in fact it’s too much!]

.

This is so absurd in all sorts of ways.

I can’t really accept this.

.

[Oho, the fact is I anticipated this kind of response from you already.]

.

Arturo says so with a bitter smile on his face.

.

[However, you have to realize that you didn’t just discover the hideout of Saviors’ of Arceus but you’ve also freed and helped a lot of their victims. Or are you saying that their lives aren’t worth that much money at the very least?]

[I… Is that what this is all about…]

[Indeed it is. That’s why you should just accept it.]

.

Well… I end up receiving the reward.

I am broke anyway so it’s good to get some cash into my hands.

.

[Also, Arios. There’s another piece of news that has been delivered.]

.

There’s still more? Now what.

.

[It is an announcement from the guild headquarters back in the royal capital. Arios Makuba, you are now hereby officially recognized as a D rank adventurer.]

[[[[wooooooaah!!!]]]]

.

Then, cheers and applause resounded in the surroundings.

.

[Arios! You did it!]

.

Even Rei is so happy she’s practically jumping in place.

.

Really?

Is that supposed to be amazing?

.

Arturo must have seen through the doubts I have as he speaks to me with a bitter smile.

.

[For an adventurer to be promoted this fast a day after his registration is in fact historic and unprecedented. That is how much your ability is recognized… Still, I personally feel that D is quite an understatement.]

[No no no. I’m just already overwhelmed as it is.]

.

Afterall, expectation for adventurers does not just come from their fighting abilities.

.

That’s why I believe I still have lots of ways to go.

.

…However, now that we’re talking about this, I remember Yujes from yesterday. This make me wonder if B rank is really that worth it though.

.

[That’s all for the  announcement. Arios, keep up the good wor–]

.

At that moment that Artuto’s words is about to finish his words.

.

[[[[[ARIIIOOOOSS!!!!!!!]]]]]

[Arios! Why don’t you join my party!]

[No no no! Join ours!]

[Arios-sama! Can you still remember this stupid girl!? Please by all means, take me…!]

[No, no, no! If you join our party you can build a harem of your own!!!]

.

[Ah….!!]

.

The adventurers started to scramble around me and I just can’t help but get flustered. 

These guys are going really wild and rowdy.

.

[Waah! Waaaaaaah!]

.

The commotion as expected made Rei start to panic.

.

I don’t understand anything anymore.

.

[Ooiii, you lot, just calm down! Caaalm – caaaaaaaallllllm doooooooooooooooowwwnnnnnnn!!!!]

.

Even Arturo’s scream is in vain as the crowd of the adventurers didn’t show any sign of letting up.

.

If this keeps up, this might cause some accidents.

.

In times like these — yep, let’s run away.

.

[Rei, a moment.]

[eh? Ah….!]

.

I took Rei’s hand and ran out of the guild with all of my might.
