"Now, let's think about the rank!" (Mile)
"..." (Reina+Pauline)
In the end, Reina succeeded in opening the subspace, but the capacity was only about two or three buckets full, and the magic broke down when Mile spoke to her briefly, and all the contents were thrown out onto the ground.
…It's not like she could call herself a "Storage magic user" at all.
Or rather, there were dozens, even hundreds of times more inexperienced people like this than those who were capable users of storage magic.
Of course, it's of no use.
However, you were still in the hundreds of people out of millions, there was a good chance that you could become a full-fledged professional if you keep trying.
Although Pauline was able to maintain it for a little longer, it still collapsed when her attention was directed to other things.
The smuggling was so bad that all she could do was hold on for the short time it took to pass through the checkpoint.
…When Mile said that, Pauline said, "I won't do it! I won't smuggle!" but no one believed her.
"As expected, if we stay at F rank, it will be difficult for me to accept regular requests and escort requests… Please stop messing around!" (Mile)
Even Mile, who was known for her temper, cried out in anger at the sulking Reina and Pauline.
"Well, it can't be helped! ... No, it was my fault for giving you hope, though..." (Mile)
Mile highly valued the two's magical talents, and they also earned the authority level 2, something that was rare among ordinary people.
The same as most of those ancient dragons, authority level 2!
It's only natural to think that it would be as easy to use as storage magic, which even ordinary people with level 1 authority could use.
She knew that Kragon, who also had the same authority level 2, could also use storage magic, because she had seen him many times took out and put away the Dragon Ball and various other items.
In that case, if he were to coach them, she was sure the two of them would be able to easily master storage magic.
However, that expectation was completely foiled, and Mavis (the dark horse) made an unexpected appearance.
However, if I put the things we need for camping in Mavis-san's storage, everyone's activities won't be affected even if I go off on my own for a long period of time.
Unlike my item box, it doesn't have a time-stopping function, so we have to be careful about the number of days we store things like harvested items, hunted prey, and food, but the space of a six-tatami room is quite large. If it's small and light, we can store things like a bathtub, a toilet, or a folding bed... (Mile's mind)
Mile sometimes pretended to use a storage magic spell and used an item box, and other times she actually put things into the storage magic spell, and sometimes used both.
And actually, Mile's storage magic itself had such a ridiculous capacity.... like the capacity of several Tokyo Domes... So, she put all the big things, things that cool or get damaged or deteriorate, things that she rarely used in her item box, and only put a portion of them in her storage magic.
Even if it was Mile, she didn't want to store so many unnecessary things in a regular storage spell, which would always have a magical burden...
So, even from Mile's perspective, Mavis's storage magic capacity seemed ample.
In fact, it's probably one of the largest storage capacities of any country on the Old Continent... excluding Mile.
...But just how amazing is Mavis-san...?
She's not a "mock noble" like us, but a pure-born young lady from a distinguished Earl family, she excels in swordsmanship, a magical swordsman who can use Wind Edge and Mavis Ring, skilled in kiss healing, full of chivalry... and an apostle of justice and truth, and on top of that, she loves cool things and is brimming with chuunibyou (romance)...
It's hard to find a property as good as this!
Ah, I wish Mavis-san was a man... (Mile's mind)
Mile was not yet wise enough to think that as long as the person was "Mavis-san," gender didn't matter...
"No no, we're talking about rank right now!" (Mile)
Mile shook her head to reset her thoughts.
"The Hunter's Guild here doesn't have a system for applying for a skip. But, upon closer inspection of the regulations, there is one more system that is missing..." (Mile)
Reina and the others looked confused at Mile's gesture.
"I noticed something... in the guild rules here, there is no provision for a 'minimum number of years spent in the previous rank' in the conditions for rank promotion..." (Mile)
"Whaaaaat?!" (Other 3)
Reina and the other two let out cries of surprise.
That's not surprising.
What that meant was that if you completed a large number of difficult or high value gathering requests, you could be promoted quickly.
In the Old Continent, despite being long since B-rank in terms of ability and achievement points, the reason why Crimson Vow remained C-rank was due to the restriction of "A minimum number of years elapsed in the previous rank."
...That's not what's here.
Even in the Old Continent, those restrictions no longer exist, but...
"...That's easy."
"...That's easy."
"...Isn't that too easy?"
"...It's easy..."
"We are four comrades bound by soul... 'Crimson Easy'!!" (All CV)
"...No! No no no no no!!
What are you all talking about?!" (Mile)
Mile said as she scolded everyone, but...
"You said the same thing, didn't you? You were really into it..." (Reina)
"Ugh..." (Mile)
When Reina pointed that out to me, I was devastated.
"Buy it, please!"
"Oh, please put it out there!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
A large number of orcs, ogres, horned rabbits, and other monster corpses had been spilled from Mile's storage (item box) onto the floor in front of the cash exchange counter, along with a variety of high-value items that had been collected.
"Wh-what is this???"
The man in charge of purchasing shouted, drawing attention from the entire guild.
Since they were still F-rank, they could only accept requests to exterminate monsters such as the Horned Rabbit.
So, rather than taking on regular requests, the Crimson Vow decided to earn money and achievement points by taking on a regular request that did not require prior acceptance and only involves selling materials.
For now, if they continued this and reached D rank, they would be able to take on normal requests.
However, no matter how many orders they could receive, no one would hire a D-rank party as a solo guard, and they couldn't accept requests with strict conditions.
So, what do they do?
Yes, they just needed to make a name for themself by then, so that even if they were D-rank they would be allowed to take the job, and so that requests would come in specifically for them.
For that purpose….
"Buy it, please!"
Splash, splash, splash, splash!!
"Buy it, please~!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
"Buy it, please~!"
Splash, splash, splash, splash~!!
And so, every day, Crimson Vow continued to deliver large quantities of monsters and harvested goods...
