Chapter 479: Klimut's Melancholy

「Guild master. I've brought Fran-can with me」

「Yeah, come in」

When we entered the office, she was greeted by Klimut, the elven, spirits user guild master. He's looking at her with the same stern expression as usual.

After Nell left, he offered Fran the couch and sat down across from us.

「Long time no see」

「Nn」

「Haah…So much things happened in such a short time……Even the word "genius" sounds dumb」

I guess Klimut's words are not just about rank. We didn't know much before, but Klimut is pretty strong. I don't need to appraise him to know that.

It's not about his status, but about the presence that oozes from within him. And Klimut must have felt the same way about Fran.

He looks at Fran in astonishment. Well, she much stronger than she was when she left Alessa.

「Anyway, congratulations on your ranking up」

Although he said congratulations, Klimut's face did not look like he was congratulating her at all. Rather, it was more of a frown.

「Good grief, even if they have the ability to do it, it's not like we can take advantage of a child……Well, what's done is done」

After all, he was against the idea of putting children in danger as adventurers. The other adventurer's guilds don't have tests in the first place. If a child comes to the guild, the guild will scare them away. After that, they are treated as apprentices and taught the basics.

「So, what brought you back to Alessa?」

「Training」

「Training? Are you still trying to get stronger?」

When Klimut looked stunned, Fran nodded her head with a serious face.

「Nn」

「You've reached B rank at age 12 you know? That's one of the top five in the guild's all-time record」

Top five, does that mean there's others above Fran?

「Who is the number 1?」

「Hmm? Are you talking about the historical rankings?」

「Nn」

「The youngest person to reach A rank is the old S ranked adventurer, 『Battalion』」

「Battalion? It's a nickname?」

「Yeah. However, because the records are too old, only the alias is now transmitted. His abilities are also unknown. However, it is said that this person became B ranker at the age of 8, A ranker at the age of 10, and S ranker at the age of 14」

What the hell is that? I thought it was a strange nickname, but what kind of monster he is? As expected of a genius with a long history.

「Even though you are not as strong as that person, you are growing faster. Do you still want to be stronger? Aren't you already strong enough?」

「I'm not strong enough」

Fran shook her head and muttered in frustration.

「I kept losing. If I hadn't gotten help, I would have lost every battle. And there are a lot of strong guys out there」

She must be thinking back to the battle with the Marquis and what I told her about the battle between the strong.

「Besides, I haven't beat the Beast King or Ashwrath yet」

「Haah. It looks like you've had a very intense few months huh. And you still can't win against them?」

He was even more dismayed. Come to think of it, Klimut doesn't seem to be a battle junkie, which is unusual for a senior adventurer. If you're asking me if he's a person with common sense, I think he's not.

「Is that why you're going to training huh?」

「Going to the Plains of the Demon Wolf to train」

「……Are you going to go in there? By yourself?」

「I'm already a B ranker, I should be fine」

I know Klimut won't look any better. But he can't stop her, because she's fulfilled the rank requirement.

「You're right……Haah, it can't be helped. Even if you don't get permission, you'll still go in there anyway, right?」

Fran nods to Klimut, who shrugs his shoulders in resignation.

「Of course」

「Then there's no point in stopping you huh. But that place has become quite dangerous lately, don't push yourself too hard」

「Understood」

「…Your prompt answer smells fishy…Dont push yourself too hard, okay」

「Haaah. Also, please don't go to the north. It's very confusing at the moment」

「Confusion?」

It seems that the skirmish with the Raidos Kingdom has not been settled after all.

「Yeah. Honestly, I don’t want to send a child to war」

As he said this, he gave a light explanation of the current situation.

「First, the first Raidos Kingdom army was prevented by an adventurer named Jean Doobie」

「I know it」

「Ah, by the way, did you and Jean know each other? He writes about being together with you on his diary」

「Nn」

「However, Raidos' invasion did not end there. It seems to have been done sporadically, on several occasions」

The reason for this seems to be an experiment in necromancy. It seems that the enemy is using an army of undead.

「I guess it's a countermeasure against Jean. They can't reach Jean, but there's so many of it. Jean and the adventurers he hired to guard him are running around to counter them」

Donadrond, who was an instructor for newcomers in this guild, is also out there.

「Klimut isn't going? You're Klimut of Calamity, right?」

「…Haaah. I'm not that big of a guy to be given such a big name, though. Well, when I get serious, the surroundings might be destroyed」

In other words, you're not going to go into battle with Raidos just for a skirmish huh.

「Anyway, you are allowed to enter the Plains of the Demon Wolf. But please stay away from the skirmish with Raidos. Is that clear?」

Klimt tells her with a sigh, rubbing the wrinkles between his eyes. Guild masters in every town seem to have a hard time huh. Well, Fran is making more work for them.
