11. Reasoning with sharp insight

***

[Mother, father. How are you? Bulcho Soja is not doing well. Lastly, saying goodbye is an occasional letter, so I’m really sorry. But I couldn’t overcome the shame and left the world…… ]

“—Evan-sama! Evan! Are you there!?”

While I was writing a will, a guest came.

I was a postman delivering mail.

The postman who handed over a letter immediately disappeared.

‘What… ?’

There won’t be any letters coming from me…… ? When I checked the sender out of curiosity, there was a name I had never seen before.

Franziska.

“F, Fran, Franziska?”

I didn’t know how to read it, so after chewing the cud a few times, I realized that the person who sent the letter was Francesca, the guild leader.

That’s how you read it── Right after realizing it, I carefully opened the letter and checked the contents.

[To the low-class adventurer Evan…… The adventurer’s guild judged that an additional test was needed to raise the rank of the nobleman–]

To sum it up, it was like this.

[There is a test, so come to the royal road.]

‘Why me?’

I was about to crumple the letter right away, but I realized that there was something left in the letter and checked the contents.

There were some pictures of a woman’s face inside. Thinking about this, I went through the letter again and found a postscript written by the guild leader.

[P.S. Enclosed are photos of people who will be taking the test together.]

Look at the picture again.

Check the stationery.

Check the picture one more time.

“—Okay, let’s go.”

It is said that love is forgetting with love.

It was indeed so.

The world was wide and there were many beauties, so there was no time to whine about being kicked once or twice.

So I headed to the royal road.

* * *

“—So, our opponent is this little kid. Are you saying this?”

The leader of the Valkyries. Saying that, Psyche glared at the guild staff in front of her. It was impossible for a single employee to withstand her gaze, which catches and kills even dragon monsters casually.

The staff member, who was so terrified that he couldn’t have bitten the bubble, cautiously nodded, and Psyche bit her lip as if her pride was hurt.

But that’s for a while.

“If you complete your mission before this kid does, you can become a top-notch adventurer. I hope it is true.”

“No, of course! Psyche, of course, and all Valkyries will be promoted to top-notch adventurers!”

The employee quickly explained as if he had found a genius opportunity, and then quickly left Valkyrie’s office.

Seeing her pathetically slipping away, as if running away, Anella burst out laughing and laughed at her staff.

“The subject of men is pathetic.”

“Anella. Quiet. What if others hear it?”

“Why- is it true? Speaking of the men of the royal capital, there are hardly any better than us. —And if we become first-class adventurers, there will be none left.”

After hearing Anella’s words, Psyche realized that they hadn’t succeeded in their mission yet, and even if they had succeeded in their mission, they, who had just become first-class adventurers, could not be said to be on the same level as those who had become first-class adventurers in the past. I tried to point it out, but I kept my mouth shut.

It wasn’t wrong, but being wrong wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Showing tolerance was the virtue of a leader rather than demoralizing and ruining the atmosphere with meaningless words.

A party of advanced adventurers called Valkyries. Especially if you are leading a large party that is on the verge of reaching the highest rank.

“What is your mission?”

“I haven’t heard yet. After this little guy comes, it’s fair to say something.”

“So what?”

“…… A while ago, a rare mineral was discovered in the county near the capital. Some monster is blocking it.”

“Aha. Then you can prepare it with a hammer or an axe.”

Anella, a warrior and the party’s vanguard, was already excited about the idea of breaking the monster’s head while flirting.

Psyche looked at Anella and beckoned her to leave.

Leaving Anella behind her as she escaped after hearing the leader’s words, she began to look through the materials her staff had been researching.

‘Evan Carl Shooter. Only 7 missions completed so far.’

I registered an adventurer last month.

So you’re a low-level adventurer who’s just been labeled a beginner.

I couldn’t understand what kind of match he was supposed to play with such a guy. Are you going to be a noble? To say that, I had never heard of the name Carl Shooter.

‘Are you kidding me?’

Or it could be to test their reaction. It could be that Evan is not just a low-level adventurer, but a guild guard disguised as an adventurer.

Anyway, the idea of competing with Evan vanished from Psyche’s mind in no time.

The label ‘Lesser Adventurer’ is real. The real thing, no doubt about it. Then…… It must mean that my skills are insignificant.’

The most rational strategy that can be built based on the information currently given in the head continues to spew out.

This is the driving force that raised Psyche and Party Valkyrie to the highest level of adventurers. It was an outstanding brain and insight that can be called the wisdom of a goddess.

“Good. Then let’s get ready.”

The fight was already over before it started.

With their victory.

* * *

“Wow… ….”

Evan exclaimed in exclamation as he saw the grandeur of the royal capital in the distance. The walls surrounding the great castle and city, and the roofs rising from within.

I couldn’t imagine how much effort went into making them, how long and how much time and resources it would take.

‘Can you cut it?’

Evan, who quietly put his hand on the hilt of the sword and measured it, realized that she could cut it if it was him. Of course, that was under the assumption that she had no interference…….

“Uh ha ha! Guest, are you new to the royal capital?”

“Yes, this is my first time.”

“Everyone who comes to the capital for the first time reacts like that. If you react the same way inside, you’ll immediately notice that you’re a country boy and try to catch him. Be careful.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

Heeding the advice of her coachman, Evan rode into her carriage and entered the royal capital. It didn’t take long for her to enter because there was a guarantee from the adventurer’s guild.

The coachman who stopped in front of the adventurer’s guild headquarters dropped off Evan and left leisurely. Evan, holding a guarantee from her, got off in front of the guild and looked up blankly at the guild headquarters.

‘It’s big…… Are all royal roads big?’

Fortress walls, castles, and buildings. Thinking that there was nothing small, Evan opened the door of the adventurer’s guild and went inside.

Then I bumped into someone walking out from the inside and took a backward step.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ugh….”

“Huh? Oh, kid sorry.”

“…… Wow, the royal road.”

“What?”

Evan burst into admiration seeing the kingship of the opponent he collided with. The woman she bumped into Evan tilted her head as if she didn’t know what she was talking about, then looked at Evan’s face.

“Ummm… ? Little boy, where have you seen me?”

“No, I’m seeing you for the first time today.”

“Isn’t it? Even though I think… What’s your name?”

“Evan.”

“Evan, Evan- I don’t know! Ahahahaha!”

The woman burst out laughing and started slapping Evan on her back as she walked by. Every time she burst out with her laugh, her royal road trembled.

Evan gently rubbed her back as she prodded, and she entered the guild. The adventurers who were playing leisurely inside the guild looked at Evan with her childish eyes, probably because they saw her being attacked by an unknown woman at her front door.

Evan approached the reception desk of her guild, ignoring the stare at her, and held out the certificate she was holding in her hand.

“The request reception is not this way.”

“Oh, they say they’ll know if I show it here.”

“Yes? What is that…….”

Seeing Evan’s youthful appearance, the staff at the headquarters, who thought that she was a little boy who had come to entrust her mission, stiffened when he saw Evan’s letter of guarantee.

A guarantee of the rank of his identity. He noticed that he was not just a person who came to the headquarters, but also a guest of the guild.

“Can you wait a minute?”

The staff led Evan straight to the VIP room. The employee who offered tea and refreshments and asked to wait a moment moved quickly to call someone.

Evan, who was waiting for an employee while snacking on refreshments, hesitated a moment later when he saw five women bursting open the door.

‘I saw in the picture… ….’

Five different beauties were there. And one of them was someone I had actually seen before.

“Oh, kid. Why are you here…….”

“Anella, do you know someone?”

“I met you at the front door earlier. I think he said Evan…….”

“…… Evan?”

“You know?”

“…… He’s the one who decided to take the test with us.”

“Ah-!”

Anella finally realized Evan’s identity and exclaimed. Then he started glaring at Evan as if he were looking at his competitor.

Valkyrie, who sat on the sofa next to her without saying hello to anyone, naturally took the refreshments placed in front of Evan.

Deprived of her sweets, Evan glanced at them with tears in her heart. Anella smiled at Evan.

“Little boy, what are you looking at?”

“No, nothing.”

“Why. Do you want to see your noonas because they are pretty?”

“…… Yes, you are pretty.”

“Uh ha ha! I like it! Have you ever slept with a woman? If not, this older sister-.”

“Anella.”

“Ah- Why? I haven’t said anything yet.”

Looking at Psyche who lightly subdued Anella, Evan instantly grasped the ranks of the girls. That woman…… The fact that Psyche with silver hair is the leader of that party.

“—Oh, you’ve waited a long time. Everyone.”

And then, the head of the adventurer’s guild appeared in the VIP room. Evan and Valkyrie, who saw the Headquarters, exchanged greetings.

The general manager, who received a light greeting, immediately got to the point.

“As you know, you are competing against each other for a mission. Only the winning side can be promoted.”

“What is your mission?”

“This is it.”

Swoop – Upon receiving the data, Evan slightly frowned when he saw the hideous monster drawn on the document.

“─Rock Eater. The one who first defeats this monster that appeared in the Blind Earldom and brings the material wins.”
