“Well then, you two were in your rank assessment period, but with the achievement of this special request and the subjugation of the Dragon Zombie, although it’s an exception, both of you will be promoted to A-rank!”

“Wow…”

“Land did it! He made it to A-rank in one go.”

“Damn it. I wish I could’ve grabbed such an opportunity too.”

“But hey, could you really handle a Dragon Zombie?”

“Well, I mean… I’ll probably end up dead.”

The adventurers around us reacted before I did.

“Um… Can I also be promoted?”

“Of course.”

Gihren responded immediately.

It wouldn’t make sense if only I were promoted and not Milim.

The guild’s ranking system was based on strength. Considering that, Milim was easily S-rank…

‘Wait? I had already been certified as S-rank…’

‘Oh well… It might be just a matter of time before I go up again.’

Milim seemed to appreciate this kind of recognition, so it was good to have a buffer. She still had a sparkle in her eyes.

“Furthermore! Due to the power of Land and Milim, they will be recognized as an S-rank party when they work together!”

The heat in the guild seemed to rise as if everyone felt it at once.

“An S-rank party!”

“Since Fade’s group!”

“But just two people!?”

“But if they really did defeat the Dragon Zombie, they definitely have more than enough power.”

“Regardless, this is amazing! Another S-rank party has been born in this region!”

It was generally well-received.

There were some jealous voices, but the achievement of defeating the Dragon Zombie silenced those voices.

“Hey…”

“What’s up?”

Milim tugged at the hem of my cloth and spoke.

“This is a big deal, isn’t it?”

“Of course it is.”

“I see… I see.”

Milim murmured as if she was savoring something.

“I see.”

Maybe this was the moment Milim was recognized for the first time.

Accepted by the guild, appreciated by many, and given a position of recognition because of her achievements.

This might have had a better effect on Milim than I thought.
