Chapter 325: Promotion
Rumors of this battle, which was changed from a battle to defeat the Goblin General to a battle to defeat the Goblin King, quickly spread in the royal capital.
The Goblin Army numbered over 800, with less than 200 on their side. They were clearly outnumbered, but the 30 adventurers from the royal capital group not only turned the tide, they defeated the Goblin King in a very short time!
The other adventurers, who had not seen the battle, were impressed by the skill of the B-team “Silver Goblin Hunters,” who were experts at killing goblins, and the men they had appointed to this task.
“The most active team this time was the D-rank team "Black Golden Wings''! Don’t just say things based on your imagination! It was the Black Gold Wings that defeated the Goblin King, you know?”
One of the adventurers who participated in the subjugation loudly praised the work of the “Black Golden Wings” at the tavern in the guild.
“Hey, hey, I know the reputation of “Black Golden Wings”, but the Goblin King is a B-rank subjugation target, right? It’s not something a D-rank team can win against.”
“I’m telling you not to imagine things! I’ve actually seen them in action there. It’s a wonder they’re still D-rank. That’s why when our team went back and reported in, we recommended them for promotion. That’s the kind of team that should go higher.”

The success of the “Black Golden Wings” was recounted by the participating adventurers, and their strength was once again recognized.
Noisy
For that reason, the tavern attached to the guild was abuzz with talk of the quest to defeat the Goblin King.
“How did the B-team “Silver Goblin Hunters” do?”
“Right? They’re experts when it comes to killing goblins, right? Did they get outfoxed by the D-rank team this time?”
“No, I heard that they defeated the goblin general. The “Silver Goblin Hunters” were the ones who initially brought in the demoralized Viscount Danton’s army. The leader of the “Black Golden Wings”, that kid said it, so I’m sure of it.”
Tauro was actively going around telling such stories to other adventurers because the success of the "Silver Goblin Hunters" was about to fizzle out.
In fact, they were the first to turn the tide against the goblin army.
No matter how bad it felt, it didn’t change the fact.
That is why we were able to preserve our strength and do what we did against the Goblin King.
So it was all thanks to the “Silver Goblin Hunters”.

By emphasizing the fact that the success of the “Black Golden Wings” was partly due to the efforts of the B-team, which fought hard, Tauro was able to preserve the face of the “Silver Goblin Hunters” and avoid the atmosphere of a solo victory for the “Black Golden Wings.
Yes, it was because of everyone’s efforts.
Tauro decided that the rumor that only one team, especially the lower-ranked “Black Golden Wings,” would gain fame would only cause resentment and envy later on.
Perhaps because the rumors that Tauro spread had saved them face, the adventurer's guild received an offer from the “Silver Goblin Hunters” to promote the “Black Golden Wings” to a higher rank.
“──This is quite unusual, but after a review by the upper management, the promotion of the “Black Golden Wings” has been officially approved. From today, you are all D+. May I?”
At the reception desk of the Adventurers’ Guild Royal Capital Branch a few days later, Tauro and his fellow “Black Golden Wings” were told this by the receptionist.
Of course, they had no reason to refuse, so they all agreed to be promoted to D+.
“I was amazed ……! I never thought I would be promoted to D+ in such a short time! Would it be possible for me to be promoted to C rank before I reach adulthood?”
Aeris was most pleased with this promotion.
For her, “Black Golden Wings” was an important place to be, and she was very happy that it was being recognized.

And she plans to leave there in a few months.
Aeris was so proud to be moving up the ranks of such an important team and thought it would remain a part of her even after she left, that she was thrilled to see the possibility of moving up to the C rank band, which she had never even imagined.
“ Aeris’s right, the path to the C rank has been opened, so there is a possibility.”
Ankh, who was thought to be unconcerned about rank, unusually agreed with Aeris.
“You're both getting ahead of yourselves. Don’t get carried away or you’ll get your foot in the door.”
Ragune unusually admonished the two.
This is because Ragune usually agrees with her.
“Ragune is right. You both just got to D+ rank, so you have to steadily work on the quests of that rank first. What if you let your guard down and get hurt?”
Tauro also quieted them down in line with Ragune.
“Sorry, sorry, Leader. Aeris looks so happy, I just couldn't help it. Ha ha ha!”
Ankh laughs to cover it up.
“Hey, Ankh! Don't make it sound like I'm the only one who got carried away.”
Aeris makes an angry gesture and pokes Ankh’s bare shoulder with her staff.
“Ouch! Hey, Aeris! Stop that, it hurts like a stone!”*
Ankh was holding his shoulder in pain from Aeris’s blow.

Tauro and his teammates were elated by the promotion, and “Black Golden Wings” would continue to play an active role until Aeris’s birthday, when she announced her withdrawal from the team, but the road to reach C rank was a long one.
