224 222 Behind Serdio

Serdio's body was recovered by Alliance officials and his squire was taken to the dungeon.

Diaz will take us through the guild. For once, it's a body that hears the circumstances from the reference person who murdered the Viscount.

The Alliance clerk's sister brought me some tea.

"No! You did great!

When I entered the Guildmaster's office, Diaz let go and praised me. Take Fran's hand, and I'll get my head down.

"Thank you so much!

"Are you that happy?

"They were truly the nests of the Kranzel Adventurer Guild! You got rid of that for me! Keep your head down, too!

Sergio hates lesions.

"Have you seen him appraised?

"I did."

"So for Rank A's sake, didn't you think he was weak?

I thought so. I was wondering if he would only have the strength of Rank B at best.

It's just that for the opposite reason that Fran couldn't get to Rank B, if he's weak but has a lot of merit, sometimes he'll be Rank A, right?

But they don't have that.

"Rank A and above is an area called hero. Absolute power is required. On top of that, it's a rank that can only be reached by overlapping achievements."

I mean, whatever great feat you have, you can't admit it if you don't have the fighting power that Rank A deserves? Then why was he rank A?

"There it is. Why was that lunatic rank A?

"To be a Rank A Adventurer, there's like a vetting, isn't there? How did you get through that?

"Right. First of all, I have a few things I need to become a Rank A Adventurer. Accomplishments worthy of Rank A, strength worthy of Rank A, contribution to the Adventurer Alliance, and endorsement of more than 15 Alliance Masters in each branch. With them, you can be rank A for the first time."

That sounds pretty difficult. Especially if you agree with more than 15 guild masters, or you're never going to get together?

"Normally...... That's where his skills become problematic."

"skills?"

"Oh, do you guys know how many female guild masters there are in this country?

I could tell by the words.

"Heterosexual preference, heterosexual attraction, and then around the title of femicide"

"Yes. Seven female guild masters were poisoned with teeth"

Heterosexual preferences tend to gain preferences from the opposite sex, and heterosexual attraction seems to be a skill that has the effect of attracting heterosexual interest.

And the title of femicide has the effect that a woman who has a slight preference for the possessor is strongly attracted.

"He whispered his faint love, and he went Colo, didn't he?

'So, you admitted to Rank A?

"Well, I see it felt like a tribute. I put 40 of them in the younger generation, and some of the ladies tilted the guild."

That's also...... But the seven of us haven't even reached the majority, have we?

"And then I used a lot of pressure from my parents, a lot of bribes, conveniences since Rank A, and a lot of different ways to collect votes."

"Guild Bullshit?

'Are you getting worried?

"All I can say is I'm sorry there. The Alliance Master is still a human child, and some scumbags mix inside."

"I don't know..."

Even the planet, politicians and police officers sometimes sin. It would mean the same thing.

"It's just that only three of the guild masters who admitted Sergio's promotion still remain. We're not just looking at each other."

'Yet Sergio remained rank A?

"Unfortunately, if you become rank A, even the Alliance Master will be unable to help you. It gives you more say and a lot of discretion individually. Some say that once you cancel a promotion, it involves a guild ticket."

It seems there are some types of people who care about precedents and stuff like that.

"That's why I kept an eye on them and waited for the scandal to happen. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like the kind of crap that could chase him down."

'But isn't it like you did cuttlefish or something on a daily basis?

"They were bad this time, but it's usually legal. I'm a little overwhelmed, but I'll give you the chicken and the money, and then there won't be any accusations from adventurers."

"Huh? Why? Is everyone crying to sleep even when they take their weapons?

"Well, you guys are strong. You think you're in power? Come on, come on! It feels like it. Do you think an ordinary Rank C or less adventurer can face and teeth a dangerous opponent who is a Rank A adventurer, a Viscount, with a Marquis shadow behind him, with constant bad rumors?

Well, I guess so. If you're bad, you're in danger of your life. Maybe I'm glad they took my weapon.

"And the trouble is that the Viscount is completely destroyed."

"It's broken?

"What's so troublesome about that?

"I have the magic tools I use to uncover a sinner's sins, but I don't react when I'm unconscious of saying I've sinned."

I see. That magic item won't respond to Serdio, will it? He thought his actions were serious and just.

"There was a title that said he was a regular magician?

Isn't that a bad pill?

"Sometimes a small amount of magic medicine is used to treat you, so simply because you're using it doesn't make you guilty. Besides, many noblemen use it for pleasure. Do you feel guilty?

Uh, you know, if I tried to catch Serdio on the grounds of the magic potion, I'd have to catch the other nobles. There will be a lot of cross spears in there... There will also be a deterioration of relations with the nobles if they are bad. It's troublesome.

"What's a magic potion?

"Oh, it's a horrible pill that breaks the human spirit instead of giving us a very strong pleasure to say exorcism. Commonly used are royal palaces and aristocratic houses. For example, they give this medicine to the powerful, and they say they can't think properly, and they puppet it."

"I see. So that was weird?

"I think so. I think he was taking his meds by regulating the amount he was given, leaving him with conversation and thinking skills, but mentally insane."

"With that said, it felt like you were being manipulated by the words of your servants."

"Those squire, the mastermind?

"Well, I don't know. I think the Marquis Ashtoner is behind this."

"But if Sergio commits a scandal, isn't it rather the Marquis Ashtoner family that's in trouble? Even my parents are going to blame me for the Rank A Adventurer scandal. Do you use magic drugs to destroy your personality?

Besides, do you imitate manipulating your own son with drugs? What's in it for you?

"One of the reasons is that Sergio before he was destroyed by the magic potion was a scum of truth. Were there 10 suspected assaults, rapes, robberies alone? It was wiped out by the power of my parents and the power of the female guild master I was in contact with. If you still want to accuse him... this is it."

Diaz poses as a slayer with her thumb.

"Huh? Assassination?

"Oh, if it's also the Marquis, it's because you have that kind of dark spot. That's why it looked better after it was broken with the magic potion at first glance. If we talk, we'll know it's completely crazy."

So you're saying you can make it look like it's been revamped?

"Besides, I think it's a huge advantage to say you can puppet a Rank A adventurer, right? Because the Marquis, who normally do not have the right to order the Adventurer Alliance, say they can order the Adventurer through Serdio. Its power is immeasurable."

Any hater, if it were an order from Rank A, would mean many adventurers would obey.

'Then why don't we just order Sergio not to marinate the demon?

"I guess you decided that Serdio was too stupid to be rank A as it is. Besides, I don't even think I'd honestly follow my parents' orders until after I got rank A. Don't you think it'd be quicker to manipulate them with magic pills?

Dos, it's black! It's black! I knew there was nothing to do with the noble world!

"Sergio is a concubine in the first place. It would only be one of the pawns if you tried Marquis Ashtoner. Instead, I can tell you that I've come in trouble for a spark of disturbance."

Um, I'm not convinced, but I understand. I just have one question.

"Those squires, why were they letting Sergio imitate what a cuttlefish is? I'm a rank A adventurer with a corner, and I'd rather keep you company?

That won't damage your reputation, and your influence over the Adventurer Alliance will increase.

"That's a mystery to me, too. It's just that rumors say they're looking for the sword, right? In fact, he had skills in weapons control, and I think he's a great candidate for divine sword exploration."

"No, you play cuttlefish there, and you'll find the divine sword?

"Even if I tell you so. I guess they have their reasons..."

Concon.

I was talking to Diaz, and someone knocked on the door to the room. When Diaz told me to come in, it was the staff who came.

"Alliance Master, this way."

"What's this?

"Yes, it will be an item that came out of a dimensional ring that Sergio had in his possession"

A vial with liquid and some kind of paperwork?

"Hmm, this sounds like a magic potion. Proof of immobility. And this one... what is it? Sounds like it's got a godsword's name on it."

What? That's interesting. Ask Fran to move him to a position where he can peek into the paper Gilmouth has. It does say the name of the Divine Sword. It even says what it looks like inside.

That's a little different from the list we showed Lumina. Is it newer this way?

"But this hand item box must have had authentication, but you opened it well, didn't you?

"Yes, well, as soon as Mr. Elsa tightened it up, he said how to open it."

"By the way, who is it?

He's a bandit.

"Oh, a man with a bad feeling like him seemed like your type, Elsa."

Hey! Elsa, what way did you hear that? No, I don't ask because I'm scared! Seems like a pretty amazing way to hear it, even from a bunch of staff dons.

"Ha, uh, hi, Fran!

If you're determined to make sure you never defy Elsa, here you are. Let's just say I didn't see you look weird and tedious.

"Good day, Elsa. So, did you figure something out?

"Yeah, a lot. It was easy to hear because you were so hungry. He didn't even see a sword curse coming, though he had a unique skill in weapons domination, did he?

So the squire didn't stop Serdio either? I mean, it feels like I let him have it aggressively.

"Looks like it's still working on Marquis Ashtoner's orders, huh? I didn't exactly break my mouth."

"Fran, do you see why they tried to take the sword from you?

"I see that."

"I want to know"

"That's a hell of a reason, huh? Looks like they were ordered by the Marquis to explore the Divine Sword. Even if you rot, you're a rank A adventurer? You're in a position to even know the information behind the guild. But Sergio was broken, wasn't he? Because of that, I became very obsessed with demonic sword-like objects. We can't manipulate it by destroying it ourselves."

I see. You mean Serdio, who was ordered to look for the Divine Sword, started reaching for the ordinary Devil's Sword or something because he was crazy? I really have to laugh.
