Chapter 54 Those Who Are Seduced by the Sweet Temptation Will See Hell

While waiting for Ian’s father, I decided to dive into the labyrinth as usual.

The guild is taking care of Leftover-kun, so I don’t have to worry about him going wild outside or dying, but… it’s awkward to just wait around without doing anything.

The attack on the kobold room has become a task, but fortunately, the status growth is going well, so I can maintain my motivation.

「Air Cutter! Air Cutter! Air Cutter!」

The only thing that worries me… is that there is a guy next to me who is desperately trying to be useful, squeezing his MP to the limit to continuously firing magic….

「Ian, it’s about time for you to step back and take a break. Switch places with me later after I shot 60 magic!」

「Yes!」

Because Ian is forcing himself, I end up supporting him and watching over him to make sure he doesn’t fail to keep up the pace and make a blunder.

The danger of one-hit-kill has decreased since both of them have increased their HP, and their movement has improved significantly compared to when they started leveling.

Nina’s changes are particularly remarkable.

Her MP increased rapidly, and she acquired two types of magic skills.

Both are still level 1, but… the girl who only had farming skill has changed to a multi-skilled adventurer who can use magic even without using enchanted equipment.

Ian’s MP and magic skills are also growing steadily.

Even with his magic skills alone, he has reached the level where major clans and high-ranked parties would want him.

He’s now in a state where his feelings of impatience and anxiety are showing in his behavior, so I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t do anything reckless….

Well, I’m sure he’ll be back to being the handsome honor student after his father takes back Leftover-kun.

「You two, good job! We’ve finished our quota for the day, so let’s go back to the surface and get some rest.」

「「Yes!」」

「We have a simple, non-life-threatening, job for you! 3 copper plates per person and you are just going to count numbers! We will only accept the first 20 people~」

As soon as they saw me, the guild staff started recruiting people to count the materials.

The adventurers are starting to get lured by the advertisement that’s coated with sweet words, but… that request is poisonous bait.

If it’s really an easy job, the guild staff will take care of it in their spare time.

They wouldn’t go out of their way to issue a request with their own money….

「You guys are recruiting people to count the materials on the first floor, huh? …… There are 20 people today. My condolences….」

「Ufufu…. With 3 copper plates, they can secure a place to sleep and brown bread, so it’s a really profitable request for low-rank adventurers. It’s not unusual for them to get less than 3 copper plates even if they risked their lives hunting slimes for one day.」

…… That’s a fair argument.

By allocating the free time in the evening to counting work, they can earn a day’s worth of income without worrying about risking their lives or wearing out their equipment, so… it’s a job that’s like a paradise on the surface.

Still… Mona-san, I can see the letters behind you, who’re smiling more than necessary, saying, 「You guys will taste the same hell as me!」….

When I returned to the guild after replenishing the supplies… as expected, Mona-san was counting the materials while working the low-ranked adventurers hard.

The adventurers were counting the materials with dead eyes, and the guild staff bowed to me slightly while smiling….

It reminded me of the unreasonable hierarchical relationship in the company.

But well, it’s more or less a profitable job with a reasonable reward….

「There are 41298 magic stones with a unit price of 7 copper coins and 41938 kobold knives with a unit price of 5 copper coins, so the total is 49 gold coins, 87 silver coins, and 76 copper coins.」

「Thank you. It seems like you had a lot of fun, Mona-san….」

The wickedness that can’t be concealed sticks out from her beautiful face and elegant gestures.

Nina… you shouldn’t grow up like this….

「With your delivery this time, you have accumulated enough rank points to take the exam for promotion to the temporary B rank, but….」

Oh, it’s finally accumulated enough, huh?

I guess it was worth working hard like a corporate slave.

「…… Is there a problem?」

「Since the temporary C rank certification, the materials you have delivered were all from weak monsters, so some of the requirements for rank up have not been met. In Jink-san case, since your rank is temporary, you are exempted from escort requests and request to judge your cooperativeness, but… you don’t have proof to show your strength….」

Ah….

…… Certainly, defeating slimes and kobolds alone isn’t enough proof to show the strength of a B rank level… and attacking the monster room is only a personal statement.

「I see. How can I meet the requirements?」

「If you clear the boss room on the 15th floor and deliver the magic stone to us, it will be sufficient proof that you have met the standard.」

「I understand. I’ll visit the boss room when I have the chance.」

If I’m not wrong, the boss on the 15th floor is a B-rank Orc General….

It’s a monster that I’ve hunted solo before, so I guess I’ll hunt it after finishing the next leveling.
