Chapter 319 – Popularity in the Royal Capital
Tauro and his party were visiting the Adventurers’ Guild headquarters in the royal capital again after completing their usual quest, “Help with the dungeon capture,” at the Adventurers’ Guild Dragon People’s Village branch the day before.
“That’s the ‘Black Golden Wings’ led by a young 13-year-old boy, you know?”
As Tauro and his companions opened the door to one of the several doors of the large guild headquarters and entered, they could hear the other adventurers who had noticed them whispering.
“It’s really a kid. …… Are you sure they're not just carrying him because he's new here”
“No way, I’m telling you the truth. The other members are also great. Among them, I recommend that black-haired beauty, Ragune, who plays the shield role. We were together once in a battle to defeat an orc army, and I was impressed by the way she managed to survive the enemy’s magic attack all by herself. After seeing that, I’m in the process of training my shield skills.”
“Really? I’m more curious about that big sword bearer. …… Can he swing that thing?”
“Oh, come on, that's Ankh, the best attacker in "Black Golden Wings". He can wield that great sword like a stick, approach an enemy with wind-like swiftness, and slice off an orc’s head with ease. He's pretty awesome, too, huh?"
"Then, what about that girl? She looks like a wizard, but she's still quite young, isn't she?"
Ad
“She’s a ‘trifecta, you know? a wizard, a priest, and a warder, ……. She’s literally a genius. She was the previous leader until that boy became leader, and she’s a genius at getting around.”
“So what's so great about that kid who's the leader?"
"He’s a bowman. He usually wears only a small sword, but he has a magic storage. The accuracy with which he brings out his bow at the right moment and makes sure the enemy is killed is amazing. Besides, he shoots arrows of such power that it’s hard to believe he’s a child, and he must have been born with that talent as well.”
"...The royal capital is amazing... Are such people still in the D rank zone..."
The conversation of the adventurers watching Tauro and his friends from afar was clearly audible to them, but Tauro and his friends pretended not to hear it.
We hear that kind of conversation a lot these days.
“…… Tauro is getting a lot of praise.”
No, Aeris seems a little happy.
“Leader, what are we going to do today? It looks like the usual quests ‘over there' are on hiatus for the time being?"
Of course, when Ankh said “over there”, he was referring to the village branch of the dragon People, and by quests, he means quests to help them conquer dungeons.
The day before, the dungeon conquering group had decided to take a rest period, and they had all come back to the surface.

“Hmmm… I heard they are going to dive again after almost two weeks of rest, so I guess we can participate in some longer quests over here.”
Tauro replies while pondering in front of the guild’s bulletin board.
“‘Black Golden Wings’-san, just in time! I have a nomination from a B-rank team, so could you please come over here and listen to what I have to say?”
One of the receptionists noticed Tauro and his group and approached them.
She seemed to be concerned because Tauro and his group did not often show up at the Royal Capital headquarters.
“Yes?”
Tauro and the others are used to it, so when they hear it's a nomination, they walk up to the receptionist.
“The truth is, we have a request from another branch for a quest to take down a goblin general, but the deadline is by the end of the day, and they have to leave tomorrow morning.”
"Goblin General? That’s, isn’t the proper rank in the C band? Why would a B-ranked band go to the trouble of participating and nominate us?”
Aeris questioned the receptionist.
Ad
“My nomination to you all was made by the B-rated “Silver monster Hunters”. It is true that the appropriate level for defeating goblin generals is usually in the C rank range, but this time, there are many hobgoblins mixed in below that level, and it seems to be the size of an army. Because of this, adventurers from the local branch alone could not compete, so a rescue request was sent to our headquarters here in the royal capital.”
“How big are these goblins?”
Tauro asked for precise information.
“According to the report, there are approximately 300 goblins, 80 hobgoblins, several goblin mages, and a goblin general.”
The receptionist answered Tauro with a serious expression.
“About four hundred total, that’s a lot again, where the hell did that come from? Eighty hobgoblins is also a lot of trouble. ……”
No wonder Ankh was surprised.
Hobgoblins are a higher rank species of goblin, basically in the D rank range, and are as large as a person, which is easy to understand if you consider that one hobgoblin is as strong as several goblins.
“How many are you planning to dispatch from the royal capital headquarters?”
Tauro asked about the number and their strength.
“From here, we are planning to dispatch one C-rank team and four D-rank teams to cooperate with adventurers from that branch, including the B-team ‘Silver Demon Hunters,’ which will be in command.”
“Isn’t that a little too small?”
Ragune twisted her head when she heard the strength of the team.
“Although there are no B-rank adventurer teams in that branch, but there are several C-ranked teams and several D-ranked teams, and the territorial troops have also been mobilized, so the request seems to have settled at this level. “
“ the territorial troops too? I see. So how’s the situation going?”
Ad
“As of yesterday, when the request was received, there is still a standoff.”
“By the way, where are we headed?”
“It is Viscount Danton territory located in the northwestern mountainous area. It is a three-day journey each way from here.”
"... It's close, okay. Guys?"
without jumping to conclusions, Tauro asks everyone.
“You’re waiting for us, right? There’s no reason to refuse.”
Ankh grins and agrees.
“That’s right. They asked for us. How can we say no?”
Aeris nodded as well.
“If everyone’s okay, I’m okay too!”
Ragune, as usual, agreed.
“Everyone is okay with it, so we’ll accept it. We leave the royal capital early tomorrow morning, right?”
“Yes, yes. That's great, thank you. Okay, then.”
The receptionist finally let out a sigh of relief as the number of people for the quest was full, and started the procedure.
