I’m Buying!

This time, unlike before, I made no mistakes and properly pointed the bottom part of the spear, the blade, downward, so we were able to descend calmly.

And as soon as we came down, not only the priests but also adventurers rushed toward us.

“Hey! What were you doing up there all the time— whoa! What happened to you!?”

“You’re covered in blood?! Are you injured?!”

“No, this is just the Mountain Turtle’s blood that splashed on us.”

“Really? You scared me.”

“What’s this spear? A magic spear? Wow, is it really possible for it to extend like that?”

“Hahaha! Jealous?”

“You’re suddenly being annoying, you know?”

“No, more importantly, explain the situation! How did you defeat the Mountain Turtle that didn’t budge even when all of us attacked?”

“Hahaha! Well, about that… ahem, could we talk about that after we return to the Adventurer’s Guild? We really want to wash up quickly.”

Somehow I felt good and wanted to talk about it, but the desire to quickly wash off the sticky blood on my body was stronger.

And the priests and adventurers understood my words.

Well, our faces and entire front bodies were covered in blood!

◈

After returning to Gallio, we immediately went to the shower room, washed our bodies, changed into spare clothes we had prepared, and went to the guild.

“What, you already subjugated it? The Mountain Turtle?”

When we arrived at the guild, a sturdy-looking, older man was talking with other adventurers.

“That’s what I’m saying, Guild Master. I can hardly believe it myself, but the Mountain Turtle has been defeated now.”

That person must be Gallio’s Guild Master.

Usually Guild Masters rarely show their faces at the guild.

Do they get swamped with paperwork every day?

“Ah, there they are!”

At that moment, an adventurer pointed at us and said.

“Those three are the party that defeated the Mountain Turtle!”

“Oho.”

The Guild Master looked at us, walked over with heavy steps, and said.

“I am the Guild Master of this Gallio Adventurer’s Guild. The name’s Vankel. Is it true that you defeated the Mountain Turtle?”

Hmph. At times like this, I should step forward confidently.

“Yes! That’s right! Our Strongest~ Trio! We defeated the Mountain Turtle! Right! Luna-noona! Physique-noona!”

“Y-yes! Th-this time I d-didn’t contribute m-much though…”

“That’s right! We defeated the Mountain Turtle! And Luna helped us plenty, so she definitely contributed!”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Th-thank you…”

“Hmm. I heard from reports, but I never imagined that Physique would join a party other than the temple.”

It seems Physique-noona is famous even to the Guild Master.

“So can you tell me how you defeated the Mountain Turtle?”

“Of course! Let me tell you how it happened!”

And I told the story of our achievements at the Adventurer’s Guild.

After moving quickly with Luna-noona’s speed!

Using my uni~que weapon! The Yeoui spear to climb onto the Mountain Turtle’s shell!

And then using Physique-noona’s mighty strength and my awesome recovery magic to attack the Mountain Turtle for a full two hours until we finally defeated it!

“Hmm… just hearing it by words, it’s hard to believe.”

“Wait, so those loud noises coming from up there were from punching?”

“Well… if it’s Physique, I suppose it’s possible.”

“Can Physique really punch continuously like that?”

“She probably can now? I saw that party hunting golems before. Her broken arms healed instantly.”

“Ah, I remember. I got hit by golem fragments then.”

“Who would have thought the athlete’s foot healer was such an amazing healer.”

Hey, who are you calling an athlete’s foot healer.

I’m an all~purpose healer!

“Is it true? Can you really use such outrageous healing magic?”

“Oh, of course! I was incredibly~ helpful when stopping the Monster Parade in Kellion too!”

“Kellion? Could you be… one of the people involved in the Miracle of Kellion?”

“The Miracle of Kellion?”

What’s that?

“The Monster Parade that was almost certain to cause complete destruction. And in that desperate situation with a special entity, the Ogre Champion, appearing. To stop the Monster Parade without a single casualty in such a situation. That’s what they call the Miracle of Kellion. According to rumors, it was thanks to a single healer… Could it be.”

“Ah, that was me.”

I did~ make huge contributions!

“Ahem!”

“Hmm… to think that such a famous person was here in Gallio.”

“U-um, Guild Master…”

“Yes? What is it, Dendeli?”

“Um… Jin-sang-nim is s-someone who received a recommendation letter from Kellion’s Guild Master. He said he’s an e-exceptionally skilled healer.”

“Ah, right. I definitely received such a report. But who would have thought that a healer who could be called legendary would only be C-rank.”

“Ah, Kellion’s Guild Master said that for C-rank and above, you need to apply separately. But he said the headquarters was busy so it wasn’t processed well.”

“Ah, certainly headquarters was in various turmoils at that time. But sigh, to think we’ve been keeping such a talent at C-rank. Really.”

Heh, heheh, he called me a talent.

“Oh right! We were supposed to take the B-rank promotion exam!”

I forgot because of the Mountain Turtle.

“Hm? B-rank promotion exam?”

“Yes. I heard we just need to complete a specific quest to be promoted.”

“Ah, that… I had already submitted an application, and permission for the exam came today!”

“Is that so? Dendeli!”

“Yes, yes! Guild Master!”

“I’ll write a recommendation letter too, so submit an application immediately to promote this party to A-rank! While you’re at it, write a letter to Kellion’s Guild Master and ask for a promotion recommendation letter! With recommendation letters from two Guild Masters, it should pass immediately!”

“I-I understand!”

Huh? A-rank? Not B?

“A-rank?”

“Hahaha! Of course you should be promoted directly to A-rank for defeating the Mountain Turtle, which is no different from a disaster-class monster! If I had my way, I’d make you S-rank, but that requires going to the capital and receiving it directly from His Majesty the King, so that’s unfortunate.”

Wow! That means we’re effectively an S-rank party!

“Luna-noona! Physique-noona! We’re becoming A-rank!”

“A-A-A-rank!?”

“Wow! This is truly amazing!”

Both Luna-noona and Physique-noona were a bit dazed but happy.

“By the way, what will you do with the Mountain Turtle’s corpse?”

“Um… what should we do?”

I asked Luna-noona and Physique-noona.

“U-um… W-wouldn’t it be b-better to s-sell it to the guild?”

“I think so too! But! I think it would be good to keep enough materials to make armor for Jin-sang!”

“Yes! Let’s do that! Guild Master, we’ll keep just some materials and sell the rest to the guild!”

“Alright. Hmm, in that case, it will take some time. Dismantling the materials and calculating the price will take at least a month. Oh right, the promotion to A-rank should happen within two weeks.”

Well, given its size, that makes sense.

“Yes, understood! Yahoo, we’re getting promoted!”

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations, athlete’s foot healer!”

“Congratulations, Physique!”

“Hey, congratulations to the rabbit beastkin girl too!”

Clap clap clap clap clap! People applauding and congratulating us.

Ah! It feels good!

But I know.

I can sense the expectations from most of the adventurers who are applauding and congratulating us.

I know!

This is what I should do at times like this!

“Uwahahahaha! Thank you everyone!”

While thanking everyone, I took out a money pouch from my chest, held it high, and shouted.

“To commemorate this! I’m buying tonight!”

“”Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Jin-sang is the beeeeest!””

Even people I wasn’t particularly close with called me familiarly and cheered for me.

Ah! This is the feeling!

◈

The next morning.

“Wow… what a mess.”

I said, looking at the drunkards sprawled across the Adventurer’s Guild floor.

I mean, I did say I’d buy, but… do people really drink from early evening all through the night?

Well, I could afford it with the money from the Iron Golem subjugation.

By the way, since Luna-noona, Physique-noona, and I all dislike alcohol, we drank what we liked and didn’t end up like this.

In the first place, the other adventurers didn’t force drinks on the person who was paying for them!

But we did stay up all night talking and having fun with the other adventurers.

“So sleepy…”

When dawn came, the drunk adventurers and priests were sleeping on the floor, so I was planning to go to my room and sleep.

“Yaaawn…”

“I’m sleepy…”

And I wasn’t the only one feeling sleepy; the noonas were the same.

At that moment.

With amplified drowsiness and a dazed mind from staying up all night, I blurted out something bolder than I would normally say.

“Luna-noona, Physique-noona.”

“W-what is it, J-Jin-sang…”

“What is it…”

Both answered in a half-asleep state, looking drowsy.

I said to the two noonas.

“Want to sleep together?”

“”Huh?!””

Luna-noona and Physique-noona’s eyes snapped open.

“W-what are you s-saying! J-Jin-sang?”

“Please explain exactly!”

“I’m extremely sleepy, and Physique-noona, isn’t it annoying to walk all the way to the temple? I really want to sleep deeply, and if possible, I’d like to hug noona’s hair while sleeping…”

“Y-you want my hair again…!”

“And Luna-noona can also experience how nice it is to hug Physique-noona’s hair.”

“I-I can also e-experience it?”

“Above all…”

In my drowsy state, I clenched my fist and blurted out words I would normally be too embarrassed to say.

“I worked hard yesterday and I need a reward! I want the reward of sleeping with pretty noonas on both sides!”

This is a man’s dream!

“O-okay!”

“S-someone who worked as hard as Jin-sang… deserves a reward.”

And the noonas granted my request.

Yes!
