Even though it was a labyrinth city, there were still times when the guild was busy and times where there were less people.
After all, like ordinary monsters, dungeon monsters would become more ferocious at night, so naturally less people wanted to fight monsters during that time.
However, there were also monsters that only appeared at night as well as ores and plants that could only be collected at night, so it wasn’t true to say that no adventurers entered the dungeon at night either.
Then, there were the battle maniacs who enjoyed the act of fighting monsters itself rather than conquering the dungeon or collecting materials. For such people, entering during the night, when monsters were most fierce, may have been a sort of paradise to them.
All in all, with a few exceptions, the number of adventurers in Exil’s guild during the day was small.
Because it was just past noon when Rei and Elena entered the guild, the number of curious glances from the surroundings wasn’t high.
「I didn’t expect Set to fall asleep.」
「Even though you say that, it’s the same for Yellow. Even though it’s my familiar, it decided to prioritise sleeping with Set over its master……」
「Well, I guess that wouldn’t happen with ordinary familiars.」
The two of them entered the guild while conversing with each other as the adventurers and guild staff turned to look at them.

One was a boy in his mid-teens wearing a robe, seemingly a mage apprentice. No one paid much attention to him. The robe he wore seemed to be of good quality, but that was it. It wasn’t like there were mages everywhere in Exil……but there were still a decent number of mage apprentices around.
Unfortunately, there was currently no one in the guild who could sense the magic power of others. Not many people had that ability, and those that did had all gone into the dungeon. Because of that, those who saw Rei only thought of him as a follower of sorts.
As for the person next to him, she had golden hair and a feminine body that drew a rich curve that could be seen even from her armour. She had a dignified aura and couldn’t help but draw the eyes of onlookers.
Elena’s overwhelming presence quietened the guild for a few seconds.
However, whether it was Elena or Rei, both had become used to such reactions and they didn’t care as they made their way to the reception counter.
「Pardon me. We just arrived at Exil today but would like to go through the procedures to enter the dungeon.」
「……Oh, y-yes!」
The receptionist had been lost in admiration after seeing Elena up close but immediately recollected herself. That was as expected of a labyrinth city’s guild receptionist.
「Then, could I please see your ID? ……Him as well?」

The receptionist glanced over at Rei.
「Yes, please do it for me as well. Here is my guild card.」
Saying that, Rei took out his guild card from the Misty Ring under his Dragon Robe.
As he placed his guild card on the counter, the receptionist’s gaze was still directed towards Elena. After casually picking up the guild card, she turned to look at Rei to confirm his identity.
To be honest, the receptionist wanted to know Elena’s identity more than Rei’s. That was why she froze for a moment after seeing the guild rank on Rei’s guild card.
「……Eh? B rank?」
Her voice was almost a whisper. Normally it would have disappeared into the surroundings.
However, all the eyes in the guild were currently gathered on Elena and no one was making a sound. Because of that, even the receptionist’s small voice was loud enough to be heard by all the adventurers near the counter.
It wasn’t heard everywhere in the guild. In the first place, Exil’s guild was much larger than Gilm’s because it was a labyrinth city’s guild. In Gilm, it was hard for a beginner adventurer to subjugate monsters that appeared near the city due to its location on the frontier.

There were monsters such as Goblins that even beginners could kill without any problems. However, because it was the frontier, there would occasionally be monsters near the road that low rank adventurers wouldn’t be able to handle.
Because of that, most new adventurers in Gilm were born and raised in Gilm. There would rarely be low rank adventurers coming in from other places.
Compared to Gilm, Labyrinth City Exil basically only had low ranking monsters in the upper levels of the dungeon. Conversely, there were higher ranking monsters in the deeper levels. In other words, because of the larger number of new adventurers, the guild had to be large enough to accommodate them all. Furthermore, unusually, the guild in Exil didn’t have a bar attached to it. This was probably because there would have been too many adventurers for them to handle.
Because of the size of the guild, the receptionist’s words weren’t heard by everyone, but……
「B rank?」
「Eh? That kid?」
「Are you joking? No matter how you look at him, isn’t he just an apprentice mage?」
「Did the guild make a mistake? Even I’m still D rank, there’s no way that brat is B rank.」
「……-!?」

Like that, the news that Rei was a B rank adventurer gradually spread out from those near the counters to the rest of the guild……when a C rank adventurer who had come in late to the guild to train gasped.
That adventurer wasn’t famous in the sense that he stood out, but he was well known as a caring veteran who had spent nearly 15 years as an adventurer. It was natural for a person like him to draw attention after gasping with an astonished expression.
「Is anything wrong, Nebrus-san?」
Noticing the strange expression on the veteran adventurer’s face, an adventurer who saw him asked.
The adventurer was a young man in his late teens who had been indebted to Nebrus many times. In a sense, they could almost be considered to have a master and disciple relationship. It was because of there relationship that he asked worriedly, but Nebrus just silently shook his head in response.
「Don’t worry about it, I just thought of something.」
「But, you……ah, could it be something to do with that self-proclaimed B rank? If you want, I can call him out. At any rate, if he isn’t B rank, which I’m sure he isn’t, we’ll be able to find out if we cross examine him……」
「Stop it!」
