It had been a few days since Rei had tested the effectiveness of the upgraded Poison Claw. During that time,, he went around buying and eating food from various stalls while roaming the streets looking for any bargain magic items or the like. Set also played around with Milein after they happened to meet in the streets.
In a sense it was business as usual, including having to deal with adventurers who were new to Gilm and had tried to mess around with him.
Of course, Rei wasn’t just playing around. He had also collected information on the Labyrinth City that he planned to visit soon. He also practised his fighting skilled outside the stables at the Dusk Wheat inn.
During that time, as a result of being asked by an adventurer staying at the inn if they could spar, he ended up sparring against more and more people, one after the other. In the end, Rei defeated nearly 20 adventurers in a row for a total of over 50 consecutive victories. The reason why Rei was able to fight 20 adventurers over 50 times was because Rei went easy on them and they took turns to recover while the others were fighting.
In addition, for the adventurers staying at the inn, sparring with a B rank adventurer like Rei was a valuable experience.
The adventurers had a lot to gain from sparring with a B rank adventurer and one with a title……Rei also pointed out his opponents’ mistakes as they were just training. In a sense he was just working for free.
In addition to training themselves, the adventurers were also lucky to be able to make an acquaintance with Rei, a B rank adventurer.
Aside from the adventurers sparring with Rei, the other guests watched them like spectators and some even started betting on how long someone would be able to hold out against Rei.
However, it was finally stopped by the thunderous voice of Lana, the inn’s proprietress.
As for Rei, he had to deal with Lana’s complaints after that.

The day before, a messenger from the guild had come to inform him that the meeting with the nobles had been scheduled and Rei should head to the guild the next day……that is to say, the afternoon today.
「Nobles, huh. I don’t feel like recruiting me would do them any good.」
「Gururu~?」
Set gave a cry as if to ask if that was really true.
However, Rei just silently patted Set’s head as they continued down the main street.
Considering that the guild messenger had told him it would be a dinner party, he didn’t buy and eat anything from the street food stalls that he had become quite well known among.
……However, considering that he would buy a lot of food to store in the Misty Ring, it would be a surprise if he didn’t become well known.
Like that, he continued walking without buying or eating anything and eventually arrived at the guild.
「Gururu~」

With a short cry, Set moved over to his usual spot, he already had his own dedicated space that other tamed monsters and horses wouldn’t approached even when Set wasn’t around. With that, Rei entered the guild as usual.
「Oh, Rei-san. Hello. The higher ups have let me know, so please wait a moment. I’ll get a carriage ready right away.」
Lenora called out to Rei when she saw him.
Normally, Kenny would be there alongside Lenora, but she wasn’t at the counter today, maybe she might have been on holiday.
Lenora spoke a few words to a nearby guild staff member and Rei waited for her to finish before asking her a question.
「I heard that Set can go with me, is that right?」
「Yes, that’s what I’ve been told, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Still, I’m a bit jealous of you. Having dinner with nobles.」
「……I don’t feel like it’s such a good thing though.」
「But, aren’t you interested in the food that nobles eat? It looks so much more delicious than what we commoners usually eat.」

Rei nodded his head in agreement with Lenora’s words.
「Now that you say that, maybe dinner will be good. I’m looking forward to what food will be served.」
「Fufu~, it looks like Rei-san’s interest has been raised. ……Oh, it looks like it’s ready. Please go to the entrance.」
Hearing those words, he thanked Lenora before leaving the guild.
A carriage was already waiting outside the guild, despite Rei only having spent less than 10 minutes in the guild.
It wasn’t a carriage normally used by the guild. Rei had seen guild carriages several times before and this wasn’t one of them. Of course, it wasn’t the garish carriage that looked like it belonged to some noveau rich that he seen during the rank up test either. There was no doubt that it was a guild carriage as there was an emphasis on practicality. However, delicate decorations were engraved in various places that expressed a sense of artistry that would impress viewers.
(Come to think of it, I wonder who actually owned that garish carriage.)
As Rei thought about that, a voice called out to him.
「Please get on. Everyone else is already waiting.」

Following the prompt of the elegantly dressed guide, they boarded the carriage.
Rei was slightly concerned about the various eyes looking at him, but ended up deciding not to think too much about it.
「Then, we’re heading off.」
「Okay, I’ll be in your care.」
The carriage started to move forward after Rei’s response. ……Looking out the window of the carriage, Rei tilted his head slightly after noticing the direction it was going in.
It was because he was familiar with the route. Yes, it was the way to the lord’s residence.
「Are we heading to the lord’s residence?」
「Yes, we are……weren’t you told about that?」
After hearing those words, Rei realised that he had only been told that he was going to a dinner party.

「……Come to think of it, I don’t think I was told that.」
「In that case, yes, the dinner party will be held in the lord’s residence.」
Rei nodded inwardly.
After all, it was easy to imagine that Daska, the lord of Gilm, wouldn’t want to hand Rei over to another power. With that in mind, it would be best for Daska to hold the dinner part at his residence under his supervision to stop Rei from being recruited by anyone.
(Well, I don’t plan on leaving this city. No matter how I look at it, it’s definitely better to stay on the frontier if I want to hunt monsters.)
Rei thought to himself as he looked out the window and watched the scenery pass by.
As he did that, the carriage eventually stopped outside a familiar outer gate, and after a word or two between his guide at the gatekeeper, they went in.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate to the lord’s residence and the carriage door was opened by a guard.
Rei got out before suddenly noticing many eyes on him.
