Chapter 266
"I'm this guild branch head, Dakufu . . . Baron Hildesheimr, we deeply apologize for our staff earlier . . . She did not mean ill will--"
I see .
I forgot that I'm technically a temporary baron .
My peerage should have been a temporary one for a duration of doll war--but the king seems to fully intend to make it permanent .
As such, I'm practically still a baron even though the doll battle is over .
"No, it's nothing to worry about . "
"We're ever so grateful for your generosity, Baron Hildesheimr . "
. . . Getting treated as a noble like this makes me feel all fidgety . . .
Though it may have its use in negotiations like I'm currently in .
"So let me be straight with you . . . I need to take on this quest due to a certain circumstance . And I'd also like to meet with the client of this quest . "
" . . . We're truly sorry . Even if it's a request by Baron Hildesheimr, we cannot just ignore the rank specified by the client . . . We're also unable to share client's information, even if it were the lord here asking . "
"What if I say that the client is a criminal?"
The branch head looked surprised when he heard that .
And then . . . he turns his sight at the client's name .
"Are you telling us that the client of this quest, Picas, is a criminal?"
"He possibly is . "
" . . . I'm sorry, but we cannot divulge client information just because of a possibility . We'd be glad to comply right away if you have evidence to prove your claim however . . . "
Well, I guess I'm pushing it without evidence .
If a noble who isn't even a territory lord could get information from the guild by simply saying 『The client may be a criminal』, no one would trust the guild anymore .
. . . Even if we catch the client, the one who posted the quest is probably someone hired by the [Swords Extremers] .
I don't remember anyone called Picas in that group .
Which means, what we need to do here is . . . to raise our ranks as planned .
"Then I guess we'll just have to raise our ranks to A . . . The demons we have defeated are counted in the rank up assessment right?"
"Of course . . . In that case, you need to get to rank C . . . I believe Mathias-san's party is able to take on a special test if you negotiate with the guild . "
Special test huh .
Something like that is possible even without the king's intervention huh .
" . . . How long would that take?"

"I believe it would take two days at the quickest . "
