'Hush!　It's refreshing and a little rusty around the neck. Ah, here it is. Just as the woman just told us. I thought it would be more compact because it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's surprisingly big.


　After refreshing myself at the barbershop, I came to the Adventurer's Guild to earn a living in this frontier city of Ygghanotes.

　It was my first time in the city so I didn't know where it was, but when I asked a woman walking down the street where it was, she was kind enough to bring me closer.


　Alright, I won't be using this platinum adventurer insignia anymore, so let's throw it away. From now on, I'll have to start from scratch as a fledgling adventurer flick.

　There are many requests that I won't be able to take on for a while, so I may not be able to earn any money, but I'll use all my experience to complete the requests so that I can make it to platinum in one fell swoop.

　Okay, let's go.


　I tossed the small badge in my hand that indicated the platinum grade I'd obtained through my achievements with Alfine as a Feen in the trash, and opened the door to the Adventurer's Guild and walked in.


　Inside the adventurer's guild, there was a tavern and waiting room for drinks and simple snacks, as well as a receptionist's office for receiving requests, and it was built just like the adventurer's guild we used in King's Landing.

　I went to the new adventurer registration window without hesitation.


Welcome. Do you want to register as a new adventurer?　We can accommodate you now with no waiting time.


　A young receptionist dressed in the matching blue adventurer's guild uniform answered the door.

　The receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild has a reputation for being unresponsive in the royal capital, but apparently it's different in the frontier of Yggha-Notes.


''Thank you. Could you please register as an adventurer?''

Yes, sir. Please take a seat there. We'll have the paperwork ready for you soon.


　As I sat down in the chair the receptionist recommended, I looked around the guild while she was getting ready.

　Inside the adventurer's guild in the afternoon, the only people in the guild were those drinking in the waiting room and those chatting small talk with the receptionist at the window.


　I'd heard that the frontier was full of strong demons prowling around, so I thought there would be a lot more nastier people there.

　The people who are here now are all weaker than the adventurers in King's Landing.

　It's past noon, so everyone has gone out to accept the request.


　If it was the royal capital, the window was always crowded with adventurers' requests even if it was past noon, and the waiting room was always full of people.


''Thank you for your patience. I'm ready for your paperwork, so let me explain it to you.''


　I've had the same explanation for years, but I've been given the same explanation for years, so I hmmm and hmmm, and fill out the paperwork for what I needed to do to register.

　I didn't play around with my age, changed my name and place of birth, and was able to register as an iron grade new adventurer Flick.


''Mr. Flick, as of today, I have completed my registration as an iron grade adventurer belonging to this Yuguhanotes Adventurer Guild. Please wear this insignia where you can see it.


　The Adventurer's Guild is open to anyone, regardless of rank, as long as they are of age and have no criminal record.

　The badge of the insignia, which showed the rank of the adventurer, was divided into five grades, starting with iron, then bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, and requests received by adventurers were also subject to grade limits set by the adventurer's guild to prevent them from failing to achieve their goals due to lack of ability.


　And the design of the insignia differed depending on where the adventurer's guild city was located.

　The royal capital was in the shape of an eagle flapping its wings, but this Yggernotes was in the design of a dragon spitting fire.


　I took the insignia from the receptionist and pinned it to my collar.


''Are you okay with this?''

Yes, that's fine. Mr. Flick, if you need any help, please feel free to contact me. I'll be here when the Adventurer's Guild is free.


　I glanced at the name tag and saw that it said 'Rebecca'.

　Unlike the receptionists in the King's Capital, she's a very kind girl, so if I have a problem, I'll ask her for advice on various things.


''Ah!　Yes!　Mr. Flick, the Adventurer's Guild of YughaNotes is now recommending new registrants to check their magic power measurement for free, would you like to try it?


　Rebecca, who finished the registration process, longingly brought out a crystal ball to measure magic power in front of me.

　I've never measured my magical aptitude until now because magic is evil, according to Alfinae, who showed a natural talent for swordsmanship even before she became an adventurer.


　Magic, I guess I can try it.

　Even if I don't have an aptitude, I can probably get by with a sword, and if I have an aptitude, I'd like to use magic as well.


''Hm?　If it's free, I'll check it out. Can I just touch this?

Yes, if you touch it, it changes color depending on the amount of latent magic.


　My interest in the magic that Alfine had stopped me from doing as evil, I followed Rebecca's recommendation and touched the crystal ball.


　Crack!


　As soon as I touched it, it glowed strongly for a moment and the crystal ball cracked.

　I glanced over at Rebecca's face, wondering if I had broken it.

　She froze, her eyes glazed over.


''Um, do I have to pay for this or something?''

'What?　Oh, no, I think it was a bit broken. I'll get you a new one: ...... Oh, please hold on.


　Rebecca rummaged under the window to hide underneath the window and brought out another crystal ball.

　She touched it herself and saw that the crystal ball had turned a pale green color, making sure it was working properly.


'Now, come on, here's your measurement. This is a brand new crystal ball--


　I touched the crystal ball in the same way as before and it cracked just as strongly for a moment.


''I'm sorry. I think I broke it again.''

''Well, I didn't expect ...... that the only person who broke this crystal ball is Noelia Enestrosa-sama, who is known as the 'Infinite Magician' ....... No way, Flick-sama has the same amount of magic power ...... as she does.


　The commotion seemed to be known to the other receptionists and adventurers at the window, and onlookers were gathering one by one.


　No way, I'm a halfway decent swordsman, so it's impossible for me to have such a large amount of magical power: ......

　It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go.


It's not possible. They were both defective. Wow, I'm surprised.

Wait a minute. I'll talk to the Guildmaster immediately and have him take precise measurements.

'Oh, no. All I know is that it's magical, and besides, I'm going to eat over here. I'd appreciate it if you didn't take care of it.


　I was showing the panicked Rebecca the cheap sword I bought when I first arrived in this city.

　It's not quite on par with Alfine's sword talent, but at least I have the skill to handle the request to defeat the demons I received at the platinum grade, so I should be able to handle it.

　Saying that, I was about to walk away from the reception desk---


Would the gentleman in there please wait a moment?


　Someone approached me as I stood up from the reception desk.
