Chapter 110 – Ascension of Souls

After that, we, the fucking gagpers, couldn’t put our faces into the guild until late afternoon.

“Well, here’s the quest reward of 50 coppers from the underground water… Hmm? This?”
“What’s up?”

The guild staff member who was handing over the coin looked at my face after checking the document. Did something go wrong? Raising his monocle his, he inspected me for a moment as if to check on me, then returned his gaze to the document in his hand his.

“You’ll be promoted to D-class soon.”

And then it says so.

“Yes? What?”

Suddenly, my eyes started to darken as I wondered if I had heard something wrong.
A promotion to D-class?

“I told you that you will be promoted to D-class.”
“Hey, Amchang? No, this isn’t it. Really?”

A raise? I?

I was quite taken aback by the shocking truth that was revealed so suddenly. Of course, I thought that a person with skills like me would become a D-class in the near future, but I did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.

My heart raced and I became tense.
The employee handed over the document and explained it to me.

“It says that it is a great contribution to the ogre subjugation. A very large score is set. If it’s an ogre subjugation, that’s the last one, right? With the young lady?”
“Ah, yes. It used to be.”

Come to think of it, there was an ogre subjugation.

To be honest, the success of it was something I could credit almost 80 percent or more to myself (bullshit). Hmmm, is it like that? Certainly, with that level of merit, there was nothing strange about having accumulated quite a bit of experience.

“It seems that you have a lot of skill to build a ball there. Anyway, so if you succeed in one more E-class quest, I think you will be promoted right away.”
“Whoop, whoop…”

The staff started to lift me up.
Then an unbearable laugh burst out of my mouth.

“Huh-huh… Haha!”

Yes.

I, Kim Katt, was actually a bitch.

It’s a story that others don’t know well, but I was a veteran of reverses who had an incredible transcendent career of being discharged as an army sergeant at the front line from an engineering college, and even trained Taekwondo, a long-standing traditional martial art of the Korean people, to 3rd dan. It was needless to say that he had survived until now in a different world.

“Whoah,haha!!!”

It was only natural for me to become a D-class adventurer at such a young age.

Cancer, no way. Isn’t there a saying that the right place is right? Putting the right people in the right places meant just that.

“Haa!Haha!!!!!”

Memories of foreign workers filled with high school students in the past flashed through my head. Bye-bye, my pretty E-class memories. And welcome to the D-class world.

“Kat. Don’t laugh like an idiot.”

As if adding cold water to the atmosphere, Cloudy lightly hit the top of my head with the blade of his hand. I came to my senses with a blow and looked at the employee’s face his, and he was smiling awkwardly, as if he was taken aback by my sudden madness.

“Hmm. You’ve calmed down. So, there’s one suitable one, would you like to try it? There’s a party that’s currently looking for party members as an E-class quest.”
“Oh, what kind of quest is that?”

After calming down my rising tension, I decided to take this opportunity to stand up and become D-class.

There are several benefits to being a D-class.

F-class is just there, but it is an abandoned class that tells you to build your career and trust by giving only mana-worthy jobs.

Becoming a ‘guild member’ of a true adventurer’s guild started with D-class, which could be called a veteran adventurer.

Typically, the guild provides benefits such as making [Minor level] Loans and [Bankbooks]. Because trust has been built up. That’s why he also arranges high-yield quests with silver units.

It’s such a dangerous job, but wasn’t it originally an adventurer’s job to earn a living through rough things? That’s it. It’s a bit more dangerous for those with experience and trust, but something that can be entrusted with important work.

The explanation of the staff continued.

“Yes. It’s a request from the Mage’s Tower, and it’s a quest where you have to collect and bring back a bumpy fruit called Confeito. Confeito is an item that is often used as a magical material. We have a party.”

Conpeitora, I’ve heard of it.

The fruit, which looks like star candy, is said to be used as an ingredient for various magical reagents. It’s a simple gathering quest, and it doesn’t seem too difficult for an E-rank.

I need to get rid of it and get a promotion.

“How many people did the party save?”
“Well, since it’s a party of four, there’s only one empty seat. Would you like to? Then I’ll put your name here.”
“Yes? One seat?”
“Is there any problem?”

I turned to Cloudy. If there is only one gardener, can’t we go together?
She looked at my face and smiled.

“I’m fine. It’s a chance to prove your skills, so to speak? Go and come. It’s only a day or two anyway. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Yeah? Claudy can you get along without me? I’m worried.”
“Well, I’m not a child. Hehe. I might be a little lonely.”

It’s okay, so let’s go.

I’m not okay… Aren’t I at best a Meat Club Man without Cloudy? It’s a bit uneasy, but it’s still a promotion match. Must be completed Because I don’t want to disappoint Cloudy.

Having made up my mind, I answered.

“Yes. Then let’s do it. Could you tell me the names of the party members?”
“Everyone is E-class, the party leader is Custo, and the others are Selka and Roel.”

It wouldn’t matter if everything was E-class.

Knowing that, I accepted the quest. The meeting place is said to be seen in front of the adventurer’s guild tomorrow morning, so I think we can start preparing for the expedition from now on.

According to the attached explanation, the place where konpeito grows naturally is a little far away, so you should be prepared to come homeless at about 5 out of 10.

There are a total of 10 konpeitos to bring along as a request.

The commission is said to be 60 Cooper per person. If so, is it a reward of 24 coppers per fruit? It seems to have great value, but after adding the explanation that there are many monsters around, I was convinced.

By the way, it’s been quite a while since I did a quest with strangers.

…Hopefully nothing will happen.
Even when Cloudy wasn’t around, I ate and lived well by myself.

“Kat, you know if you fail? You’ll be very disappointed.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll never succeed. Even if I die, I’ll definitely succeed. You don’t have to worry about that part.”
“No, you can’t die.”

After all, even if I saw Cloudy, I had to upgrade unconditionally.

On the way, I went straight to the general store and bought things I always buy. There is nothing special about homeless goods and emergency supplies and dry goods. I also took jerky in particular… Should I buy new equipment to become a D-class?

First of all, the equipment I have is Quilted Armor, a cloth armor called Gambeson that looks like a rug, and an iron breastplate that I have been using after killing bandits. Also, there is a pair of gauntlets purchased at the blacksmith shop and a Greaves, a product of the Salvation Heaven Society.

Here, a bastard sword was worn around the sword belt, and a water bottle and a multi-purpose pouch were attached to the other side. Lastly, the cloak that I bought in the past covers it. The cloak could not withstand the wind and waves of the years and was torn and shortened. I guess it would be better to call it a cape.

If there was anything more to buy here, would it be a pauldron that could protect the shoulder?

“Cloudy. Let’s stop by the smithy for a moment.”
“Do you have anything to live for?”
“My shoulders are a bit empty. I’ll have to buy pauldrons. Men’s shoulders, after all.”

What I found was an armor specialty store. When I entered the back of the blacksmith shop where armor was lined up, a muscular blacksmith greeted me.

“Nice to meet you, friend. What did you buy?”
“Do you have any useful pauldrons?”
“Everything here is useful. Take your pick.”

I looked around the store with Cloudy, who showed a long interest in the armor on display.

Plate armor and chain mail. And it was full of leather armor and mysterious armor mixed with various things. I don’t know anything else, but I was going crazy because I wanted plate armor.

Looking at these things, it was as if an irresistible urge to buy tickled my heart. Men are such pitiful beings that no matter how old they are, they are creatures that are obsessed with swords and armor.

And while looking around the armor, I found something amazing.

“Uh, uh! What is this!”
“Huh? Is there something?”
“This is bikini armor!”

What caught my eye was Gura Anchigo Real Bikini Armor!

Gray barb bra and panties!
There was absolutely no armor, but maniac underwear.

“Mister! What the hell is this!”

Shocked, I pointed to the ugly bikini armor on the female torso mannequin and called the owner. He approached and said with a smile on his face that he seemed very satisfied.

“That’s my masterpiece. How about it? Why don’t you buy it?”

What bullshit!

“No, why the hell do you buy this? Isn’t a woman wearing something like this just being beaten with knives or teeth?”
“It’s a sound I hear often, but that’s what weak people do.”
“Yes? A weakling? Is that a distant sound?”

The blacksmith who expressed doubts explained to me that such a sexy type of armor was not worn by ordinary women, but was worn by high-level women who could use mana to strengthen their bodies.

Since you can protect your skin by strengthening your body with mana, the shape of the armor is not particularly important. At first glance, it sounds like it makes sense, but if that’s the case, it would be more efficient to just wear armor and spend mana elsewhere.

“That’s why female knights often wear them.”

The very bullshit babbling of that kind of explanation seemed like an excuse for one’s own sordid taste. His explanation His was that bikini armor was just an ornament with no practical use, but there was some demand for it.

“Cloudy, do you think that makes sense? You fight wearing something like this?”

I asked the opinion of the female warrior right next to me.

“Hmm, it’s not that uncommon in my hometown. I could fight wearing it too, but I don’t really want to do that.”

She ran her fingertip through the bra part of the bikini armor, and she suddenly grinned and looked at my face her.

“Why should I wear it?”
“What!”

2nd surprise.

I pictured Cloudy wearing only bikini armor in my head. A silvery, barbed brassiere that barely covered her brown body her… Indeed. I think you know what bikini armor is for.

Every time she rocked her body her, the barbs glittered and it seemed like it would be very exciting to make her iron sound.

“Whoa, are you imagining it? Why did you want to wear something like this, but that’s what it was. The feeling you want the other person to see? Katt, as long as you’re happy, you can wear it as much as you want…”
“Stop.”

As if she was about to try it on for real, I stopped her from removing her bikini armor from her mannequin.

“If only I can see it, I don’t know, but other people can’t see it.”
“…Ah.”
“Mr. Owner. How much are these pauldrons here?”
“It only takes 5 silver.”
“Oh, it’s so expensive. Can’t you cut it down?”
“I can’t do that to you who don’t know the beauty of bikini armor.”
“Damn it.”

Anyway, I bought a pair of pauldrons. It was a hardened leather pauldron made of so-called hard leather. It’s not too heavy, and it’s comfortable to wear. It would be able to block the teeth of monsters and sword attacks by robbers.

When I returned to the lodging, it was time for the sunset again. It was a natural time since I went to bed all morning and midday and went to see my routine. Even so, it is enough to be tired and stay up all night with the strokes of youth.

When I was waiting for Claudy after washing up first, she came out with a large towel wrapped around her body. What? Usually it just comes out and gets attacked.

“Here, Kat.”
“Yes?”

She said, somehow her face her flushed. I couldn’t understand the meaning of being strangely shy while looking nervous. It was then. What happened was an oddity.

—Sureuk.

“It’s called bikini armor, but how about this?”

I screamed as if I would break the world. Her towel her was untied and she was not in her naked state.

“No!”

He was wearing only underwear.
And that underwear that looks very lascivious!

Pure white!

The panties with frills had already lost their identity as panties, and were designed with extremely little fabric, completely exposing the genitals, and the bra was also in a state where the nipples were half protruding, whether it was a small size or a design like that. Even the speed seemed transparent.

She said softly.

“…What do you think?”

Hesitantly, Claudy, her face blushing severely, began to avoid my gaze as if she was very embarrassed to show it.

“W-Where did you buy that!”
“…It’s been a while. The other day, when you were in the middle of training at the swordsmanship guild, wasn’t there a time when I went out alone? , I bought…”

She said with a shiver on her shoulder, dressed like that.

“I-I’ve been a little shy, so I couldn’t bear to try it on… Hey, do you want to fit in? Do you like it?”

I quietly raised my thumb and declared, ‘It’s the best.’
It was the best cheer.
