Title: S-Rank Adventurer Claude's Unprecedented Nomination Request
Perspective: Claude
Timing: Around Chapter 12
S-rank adventurers are titles that are recognized in multiple countries and awarded only to those who have accomplished what should be called heroes, with many rights and duties.
When an adventurer reaches Rank B or higher, he or she is subject to the system of request for nomination as one of his or her obligations.
This is a request to nominate an adventurer, and can be said to be a popular testimony.
Nomination requests are expensive, and since the Adventurer Alliance scrutinizes requests to some extent, they are rarely chaotic, so it is also a delicious request from an adventurer's perspective.
To add, senior adventurers have told us that if the client's land and Adventurer Alliance are badly corrupted, the probability of a rude request jumps.
You can decline a nomination request because it is not mandatory, but you need to be careful when you decline it.
To refuse a nomination request is to refuse the request of the person who acknowledges his/her ability.
In addition, the client has the power and the means to pay a large amount of remuneration.
If you refuse badly, it is possible to 'turn a powerful man close to an ally into an enemy'.
Conversely, if you want to cut the edge and turn it over to the enemy, you can refuse the other party's nomination request.
And if you are an S-ranked adventurer, there are not many requests for nominations from countries.
A request for nomination from a country is usually a fairly important case as a country.
Because asking adventurers is nothing but a situation that cannot be dealt with by the human resources and combat power possessed by the state.
What came to us this time was not a single country, but a joint request from multiple countries, and it was a very difficult nomination request to refuse in various ways.
Having heard the request from the Adventurer Guild, I decided to take it back to the Clan House once and consult with the party members.
"... an unprecedented request for nomination."
It's not impossible to say that Knot was stunned.
This nomination request was impossible with common sense.
"It's never been easier to say no. I've never heard of a brave country asking for nominations under a joint name."
"The detention period is also long. At least a month."
"Instead, the request fee is unprecedented... Too many, I can't determine if the request fee is reasonable....."
Koko, Lolo, and Adele talk about the unprecedented level of their clients.
"But the most unlikely thing is definitely the content of the request, right?
"Yes, this is not a good thing to ask for."
Yulia nods at my words. [M]
The request was, in a word, "Fight with the brave and defeat the Demon King."
Let's sort things out a little bit.
The Demon King's reign is adjacent to the western part of the former Eldian kingdom.
However, the Magic realm is surrounded in all directions by high mountains called the Pasfir Mountains, which are very difficult to get around due to the nature of the mountains.
The Pasfir Mountains are characterized as' a huge strain on low levels of existence '.
The whole mountain is releasing something special, and at a certain level... if someone below about 50 levels takes in that distraction, they lose their health, and in the worst case, they die.
Since the concept of level is not understood unless it is related to the master, it is generally said that the weak cannot be exceeded.
The only exception of this nature is the brave, who can cross the Pasfir Mountains without falling below 50 levels. If the monsters on the road don't kill me, there's a condition.
This property is also effective on the Demon side, and basically weak demons do not cross the mountains.
However, in rare cases, this distraction may weaken, and the demonic side can detect it, but the human side is forced to disadvantage that it cannot.
The demonic side tends to send in an army of demons at a time when their spirits are weakened.
When the Master entered the kingdom of Eldia, the demonic army attacked King Eldia's capital because it was at that time.
I have heard that the heroes of the past fought the demons who crossed the Pasfir Mountains from the Demon Realm, and when they gained enough strength, they entered the Demon Realm and defeated the Demon King.
At this time, most of the time, only a handful of the best, including the brave, will enter the Demonic Realm.
This is different from the Pasfir Mountains in the Demonic realm, and has no effect on the Brave and Demons, but is harmful to others and dangerous to capture for a long time.
In the past, many demon kings were defeated in the Demon Realm, but still exist today because it is a land that people cannot live in and cannot manage.
The higher the level, the less effective it is, so it is said that 'only strong men who are more prepared can accompany brave men'.
The most unlikely thing this time, regardless of our readiness, is that we are about to be forced to enter the Demonic Realm by a nomination request.
"You understand that, too. That's why I think the requisition explanation is so detailed."
Appointment request is a method of requesting the name of an adventurer, although it recognizes the ability of the adventurer.
By stating the reason in the request form, it can be claimed that 'we are evaluating this part of you'.
In this request form, the reason items were written in detail.
There are four main reasons why we were chosen:
S-rank adventurers are more likely to cross the Pasfir Mountains.
· Owns the inferior wind dragon (Wyburn), making it easy to evacuate the demonic domain.
· It is the only S-ranked adventurer party and has excellent coordination.
Among S-rank adventurers, it is close to the average age of brave men and easy to get used to.
Certainly, except for the first reason, it's the only element we have.
The third reason is that many S-ranked adventurers are strong and the sad reality is that they are not suitable for collective action.
"It's unprecedented, but it's not a bad request, is it?
"I see. At least I feel sincere from the requisition. Just like Adele, I don't know what the fee is."
"The receptionist said that the fee was reasonable. If I summoned an S-rank adventurer operating in another country and detained him for an extended period of time, it would be about this much."
From the receptionist's point of view, it seemed like it was unprecedented, and I was giving out the materials and calculating.
Iris, who had been silent, opened his mouth with a serious expression.
"Did Master say anything? You're asking for a brave man, right?
It was Sicily, who had been silent until now, who shook her shoulders in the words of "Master".
"It's okay, because Master says," You can do whatever you want. "
There is a connection between the master and the brave.
Since the Master's intention was ignored and the request could not be accepted, confirmation was taken in advance.
Well, that's good.
Good ~
England and Sicily look relieved.
If the master says no, he ignores all the other elements and decides to decline the request.
As I mentioned earlier, turning down a nomination request means breaking a friendly relationship.
If it is also a joint name of several countries, its scope of influence is very large.
Still, I think it's much better than hurting my master's mood.
"In the future, we're going to have four to six participants, not all eight."
This nomination request was addressed to the S-Rank Adventurer's party, not to me personally.
When I thought it was for all eight people, the request stated "4 to 6 S-ranked adventurers belonging to the party."
"That's true. I didn't realize. Does it make any sense?
I nodded to Rollo's question after reviewing the request form.
"I heard from the receptionist, too, but it seems to be a concern for Castar."
"?" x 7
Though we have grown up as adventurers, we are only as educated as we look (including Julia).
Political stories cannot be understood without explanation.
According to the receptionist's explanation, S-rank adventurers are a national treasure, and it is not praiseworthy to summon a large number of S-rank adventurers from other countries and detain them for a long time.
When requesting the nomination of an S-ranked adventurer from another country, it is also reported to the top of the country, so it is not possible to make a request confidentially.
Since it is a request for bravery, it is not a problem if the brave support country is the other party, but this country (Castar) clearly refuses to become the brave support country, so it does not apply.
Because the brave man cannot be used as a reason, he appeals to the client that he has no malice by not saying "all of us".
"If you accept a request, you also need to make a decision."
"Oh, I'm sorry. If it doesn't have to be all of us, let me refrain this time."
Knot said he was sorry.
"Maybe it's a blacksmith's job...?
"Oh! I'm helping Mimi with her work right now."
Knott is an S-ranked adventurer and blacksmith.
Mimi, a leading blacksmith, is studying as an apprentice.
"Hee, what are you doing...?
Mimi's desire is to create a masterpiece exclusively for her master
"Of course, you give priority to your master, right?
"Oh, that's what I'm gonna do."
Knott answers the English who reacted to the word "master".
If Master Shizukuishi is the reason, I can't let him participate. After deciding to accept the request, the remaining participating members were selected.
This nomination request was made under a joint name, but there are some countries represented in the joint name.
It is the kingdom of Sanokia, a great power with 17 of its greatest braves.
Generally unknown, the 17 brave men of the Kingdom of Sanoquia have already lost their blessings (gifts) and cannot technically be called brave men.
And the upper echelons of the kingdom of Sanokia (including the Queen) and the 17 ex-husbands are under the command of the Master.... In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say our colleagues.
"Did the Kingdom of Sanochia explain?
"Claude, you're confirming this, right?
Yulia nods to Lolo's question.
After receiving the request form, I first checked with my master and then with the Kingdom of Sanokia.
As a colleague, it's as easy as asking questions about a request.
"Of course, it's been confirmed.... I just want you to judge by the request form."
"What is that?
"It's the other way around. My Master told me to" defeat the Demon King with as many regular procedures as possible. "I want to refrain from explaining it behind the scenes because it's not a formal procedure."
The details of the request were not explained, but the policy was explained.
The Kingdom of Sanokia follows the instructions of its Master and aims to crush the Demon King without relying on his abilities as much as possible.
It seems that explaining the situation and forcing them to accept the request is contrary to the policy.
Well then, you can't force me to ask.
"Instructions from the Master" has great significance for the master's subordinates.
You may say that it takes precedence over anything else.
As a result of the discussions that followed, we decided to receive a nomination request.
I have five members in attendance: Adele, Loro, England, and Julia. Knot, Koko, and Sicily will not participate and will continue to focus on Castar.
I don't know about the situation, but since the Kingdom of Sanoquia is the representative of the coalition, it is certain that it is an important nomination request to 'defeat the Demon King in as formal a procedure as possible'.
Looking at the reasons given in the request form, it will not be easy to find alternatives.
As an S-ranked adventurer, this is an absolute request.

Title: To defeat former hero Kino Aichi Demon King
Perspective: Aiichi Kino
Timing: Around Chapter 12
My name is Aiichi Kino.
One of the brave men who belongs to the Kingdom of Sanokia... Wrong. Correctly, one of the former braves.
A hero is a being given a blessing (gift) by a goddess, and I should not be called a hero if I have already lost the blessing (gift).
Currently, there are 17 brave men in the Kingdom of Sanokia, including me, all of whom have lost their blessings (gifts) just like me and have become former (...) brave men.
The Blessing (Gift) itself is not unpretentious, it is not something to mourn when it is lost, but for one reason at least one is needed.
Blessing (gifts) is why we need them.
Our Code of Conduct is' Defeat the Demon King in as formal a procedure as possible ', concealing that we have lost the Blessing (Gift) and trying to defeat the Demon King as a normal hero.
According to legend, when a hero defeats a demon king, a myth tells him how to return to the original world.
It is said that this deity can be given directly to the hero who defeated the Demon King.
In the past, there have been no cases where people without blessings (gifts) have defeated the Demon King, and we do not know what will happen as a result.
Given the nature of the deity, it is unlikely that any deity will be given to anyone other than the brave.
In other words, the presence of blessings (gifts) becomes a necessity if you want to follow proper procedures.
At least one. The Demon King needs a brave man to stab him.
Seventeen of us don't have a blessing (gift), and even if we had another chance, it's certain that none of us would have chosen to get it.
So what should I do?
Easy. Bring a hero with a Blessing (Gift) to the Demon King Crusade and let him stop.
One of the monster realms in the Kingdom of Sanokia is a forest called the "Forest of Ends".
The monsters in this forest are said to be among the strongest in the Kingdom of Sanokia and are not allowed to enter adventurers below C rank.
Brave men who are not adventurers can enter with permission from the state.
"What a powerful monster...! Sister, let's go without hesitation!
"Yes, that's right! I'll show you what we really mean!
The Asahi sister and brother who belonged to the student council in the original world are now fighting monsters in the forest.
They were twins, and their sister Asahinagisa was in charge of accounting, and their brother Asahikuru was in charge of the secretary.
The blessings (gifts) they received as heroes were of the same name, almost the same ability.
The name of the blessing (gift) is. Simply put, it is the ability to transform.
After transformation, the sand is slightly more exposed with ruffles and accessories, and the sky is wearing armor and helmets on tights. Both have the same image color as black.
This toon gains a huge increase in Physical Proficiency and strong resistance to attacks. Something like a Special Attack can be used, and with the exception of one fatal drawback, it's a pretty good ability.
If the transformation is released, there is a limitation that you cannot transform for 24 hours, but there is no limitation on the transformation time itself, so you can expect some continued combat ability.
The fatal problem is that you can't go to the bathroom because you can't take off some of your clothes. If you want to go to the bathroom, you have to undo the transformation. Or give up and leak.
After giving up, I proposed a countermeasure to use "clean", but it was rejected.
Although there is a problem with deformation, since I was summoned as a hero, my basic physical abilities have also improved, and I have skills other than blessings (gifts), so I am not completely powerless.
However, both of them have a strong tendency to rely on Blessings (gifts), and they are still transformed and fighting.
"Eat it!!!
"Let's go!!!
Here, two special kicks burst and the monsters were crushed with a mysterious flash.
"I did it!
"I did it!
I'm sorry for the two of you who seem satisfied, but to be clear, 'weak'.
The monster they fought fiercely wasn't like the boss in the center of the forest, it was just a very ordinary monster who was right there.
Conversely, the normal monster opponent pushed me to use a Special Attack.
That night. I, Seven Treasures Senpai, and Fifty Arashi all had difficult faces.
"Honestly, it was unexpected...."
"Oh, I didn't think they were the best..."
Our goal is to have a hero with a Blessing (Gift) defeat the Demon King.
Currently, the strongest of the surviving heroes was the group of four, which we called the "Student Party", and we shared to confirm its strength.
I was in charge of student chairman Senpai Nanahoin, vice chairman Senpai Isarashi, secretary and accounting.
"The student chairman has a lot of skills and good moves, but he doesn't step in very well."
"The vice president is no good. Blessing (gift) does not match the person's personality. It won't get stronger."
Like I failed, both of them failed.
My rating was' I don't watch the monster's movements very well with my skills'.
"As it stands, the brave men I accompanied could die."
"That's troublesome, let's review the plan."
One policy is to minimize the sacrifice of brave men.
We can't help dying in places we don't know, but we are taking care not to let the brave die in the strategies and operations we have devised.
"... it's tough not to have enough heroes and strength."
After seeing the documents of the surviving brave, Senpai Igarashi sighed.
"Besides, we can't do anything about it."
"Ah, if they find out that we can't fly and are strong, they might tell us to go to the demon king crusade alone...."
Seventeen former heroes belonging to the Kingdom of Sanokia are "overwhelmingly stronger" than other heroes, but appear to be "somewhat stronger" in the world.... correctly, we made you think.
Beyond letting other brave men stop the Demon King, I made the decision that the difference in power should be hidden.
"It's most efficient to strengthen the student council...."
At the moment, the strongest members of the student council, excluding us, are.
If we can strengthen them as much as we can, we'll be able to stop the Demon King.
As Senpai Nanahoin said, it is probably the most efficient way to defeat a few elite demon kings.
"It's harder than not tolerating the death of a brave man."
"Yes, think of another way."
The most efficient way to strengthen the hero is to capture the remains of Blessing (garbage) that appear when the hero dies.
It is the only way to enhance blessings (gifts) and improve physical abilities, but it does not mesh with our policy because the sacrifice of the brave is necessary.
"If you can't make a breakthrough, you should increase your overall strength. We can only increase the number of heroes who participate in the demon king crusade, and gradually increase their strength through training."
"The problem is that it's not enough to increase your strength a little."
"Ahh....."
The more heroes you have, the more 'little' stacks you can use to crush the Demon King.
However, the lower the number of people, the higher the demand per capita will inevitably be.
Will the remaining heroes be the only ones to reach the total power needed to crush the Demon King?
………………
"If you can't increase your heroes, why don't you increase your alternative strength!?
We were too preoccupied with crushing the Demon King with only the brave.
This idea later led to an unprecedented request for nomination, "Cooperation in the Demon King Crusade against S-Rank Adventurers."
