Chapter 244: The D-Rank Adventurer Team
Tauro and his “Black Gold Wings” were all promoted to D-rank.
At last, a silver tag to show for it.
As adventurers, the D-rank band is proof of strength.
Because many adventurers retire at the E rank level.
That is why there is such a big barrier to advancement to the D-rank level.
The largest number of adventurers are in the E rank zone, which is called the general level, and among them, a handful of talented adventurers are able to move up to the D rank zone through assessment.
Because of the large number of skilled adventurers in this rank range, there are many who set their sights on this rank.
Tauro reached this rank when he was only 13 years old.

Aeris is still only 16 years, it’s understandable why Chloe, the branch manager, was reluctant to promote them.
Despite being a promising team in the Dansas branch, the leader is still a minor.
The envy and jealousy from those around him must be considerable.
That was one of the reasons why Chloe was reluctant.
Therefore, Chloe deliberately divulged the reason for Tauro and his team's promotion this time.
The fact that the “ Black Golden Wings” were promoted because of the recommendation of the A-rank team “Golden Mane,” the B-rank team “White night” and “Zekei,” the other B-rank adventurer teams from other branches, and Count Daredar, the lord, for their success in a certain secret special quest.
The level of the rumor seemed so outlandish that even the adventurers of the Dansas branch were unsure how much to trust them.
In the first place, it was surprising that all the first-class adventurers recommended them for promotion, and the recommendation of the top-notch 『Golden Mane』 was too big to be a lie.
The two vanguard members had fallen out, and two new recruits had finally joined the team. Those who heard directly from the branch manager who was the source of the rumor and the team members of "White night" and "Zekei," who recommended them, could only think it was a joke.
So the rumor was soon settled as a joke.
But a few days later, a message was received from the city of Daredar

“It seems that a top-notch team of adventurers had gathered together to secretly take out the assassination guild’s stronghold, and they have succeeded.”
When rumors spread to the village of Dansas, the adventurers,
“Is this what you meant!?”
And the rumors about the “Black Golden Wings” rekindled.
“Are you saying that ‘Black Golden Wings’ were the only E-rank participant in this quest?”
“I don’t think that’s true. If the lineup is as rumored, it really is only in the B-rank zone, right?”
“Certainly. There is no room for “Black Gold,” which was in the E rank band, no matter how much they want it, right?"
The main reason for this is that the people who were in the E rank band and saw “Black Gold Wings” as a lower rank were all negative about the rumors.
However, among some high-ranked adventurers, there were also those who appreciated the “Black Golden Wings”.
“the Leader, Tauro, has a calmness that you wouldn’t expect from a 12- or 13-year-old.”

"Ah,He was a very strong, if unspectacular, rearguard in the ogre subjugation battle, and his skill at making potions is amazing. He is a very skilled potion-maker, isn't he? If it's a supportive participation, it's quite possible.”
"No. It’s not. No one knows about the two new vanguards, but it seems that they are actually adventurers. The fact that they have risen to their current ranks in such a short period of time is probably due more to the abilities of the two newcomers than to Tauro’s support skills.”
“Is that so? They’ve actually become a D-rank. I’m sure they will prove their abilities in the future.”
While the high-ranking adventurers were calmly exchanging their opinions, one of them said to the other
“I think I’ve seen that new guy somewhere…. No, I’ve heard of him. …… for the features I’ve heard of.”
He mouthed the words.
“Which one? That beautiful lady?”
“No, the one with the big sword. The one with the big sword. I'm pretty sure he was a mercenary back in my mercenary days. ......"
"Yeah, you were a mercenary until a few years ago."
“…If I remember correctly, that man might be the one who was known among mercenaries as the ‘Red Devil in Black’.”
“The “Red Devil in Black”? It is true that he wears all black and has red hair. But, such a celebrity? I’m sure there are people out there who dress like them and bluff their way into imitating them."
“I guess so. I used to bluff my way to get a little more money in my contract at the time also.”
“I’m sure there will be people who will try to take advantage of that celebrity. In the first place, why would such a person become an adventurer and bother to take a child under his wing?"
“I’m sure that’s true. Ha ha ha!”
Tauro, who was choosing a quest in the guild, was eavesdropping on the conversation.

Information is important, so Tauro often listens to the conversations of high-ranking adventurers.
If the rumors are true, Ankh might be a well-known figure in the industry.
No wonder he is so good at what he does.
Tauro was convinced, but Ankh didn't change his complexion whether he didn't hear or pretended not to hear.
“Leader. I think we might as well play it safe and go on an orc subjugation quest today. It’s more of a day trip than this one.”
Ankh said, comparing the quests for defeating orcs and harpies that were posted.
Admittedly, it's a neighborhood quest and a reasonable quest for D-.
‘Orcs, I like that one! The proprietress of the “Dwarf Inn” will be pleased if we deliver fresh meat to her!”
Ragune seemed to agree.
"Hey Ragune. Don't think of things in terms of pork cutlets.”
Aeris warned Ragune about her appetite.
“I think I’ll go for this orc slaying then.”
Tauro took charge of the situation and went to the reception desk as usual to complete the quest procedures.
