\n\nLetâs increase our rank
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
With consecutive thrusts, Yumika defeats two horned rabbits without giving them a chance to strike back.
Kazane looks at the remains of her own share of monsters which were lying beside her.
(At long last, we have finally reached this stage)
Kazane also understood that Yumikaâs skill with the spear had increased tremendous each day. None would have been able to guess that she had just arrived in this world two weeks ago, in addition to becoming an adventure only a week ago.
(It seems just like the game mechanic. When the stats increase, then so does Yumikaâs power)
âOoi, why do you keep staring at me blankly?â
While cleaning the tip of her spear which was clotted in blood because of killing the horned rabbit, Yumika looked back at Kazane who was looking at her.
âWell⌠I just thought how amazing Yumika is.â
âI donât want to hear that from you.âYumika looks at Kazaneâs surrounding while saying that.
Kazane killed three horned rabbits. One of it exploded so no materials can be taken from it, the other one has a big part of its body missing, and the last one died with almost no wound.
âWhen it was a game, no matter how flashy the magic I used, the material would still dropâŚâ\n
âThatâs why I said that this is not game.â
Yumika answers while smiling wryly.
âRight. Well, in term of material gathering, the needle is the best thing to use. No one can beat its accuracy. Though, thereâs a need to reduce its convergence so that itâll damage them normally.â
While saying that, Kazane opened the window and quickly customized it.
âThen, what will we do after this, Kazane?â
âErmm. Well. Since Iâve become accustomed to magic, how about hunting four more and end it for today?âYumika nods. Because of yesterdayâs break, their body felt different.
âThen, do you want to continue here in âKwon grasslandsâ? Or perhaps move to hunt grey golems?ââNo golems for today, since if we go now,  we would only be able to return tomorrow. And we cannot camp outside, as we didnât prepare anything. Also, Iâm afraid that with your spearâs conditionâŚâ
Hearing that Yumika frowns.
âGuess so.âEven though her skill increased till itâs hard to believe that she was just an amateur a week ago, her ability to maintain her weapon is still amateurish. âI guess itâs about time to see master blacksmithâŚâYumika makes an excuse inside her heart.
âLetâs quickly repair it. I also want them to check my sword.â
âYou should increase your rank.â
Pran abruptly said it after we had finished hunting and while we were receiving the money for the materials in reception office.
âRank is it?âKazane asks back.
âRight, rank. Usually I wonât said it towards newbies who had just become adventurers a week ago like you guys, but you earn a lot.â
âThatâs so.âFrom the time they started working together with Master, all in all they had earned 5000 kirigia. Even from all the members of the guild in this town, let alone the newcomers, they are the biggest earners. Even if they had taken the core stones out of their calculations, their earning would still be high enough to be at the top.
Though, it might also be because the ability of the guild members in this town are low. Actually, the encounter rate with monsters is also not that high, so sometimes they are unable to gather materials. Encountering monsters five times in half a day, is normally impossible.\nâI guess inheriting the beastmanâs nose from your ancestor is advantageous. If you know where they are, you can make pre-empt and surround them, right?â
Pran looks at Kazane with eyes of admiration.
âGuess soâ Kazane answers with her usual expressionless face. Of course inheriting something like a beast-manâs nose from an ancestor is a lie. Itâs just a method to cover up how they have a high encounter rate, but in reality [[beastmanâs sense of smell]] is still lower than [[Dogâs sense of smell]]. Thatâs why, even for a high level beastman who has honed their sense of smell for a long time, their ability will still be below Kazaneâs.
âThe core stones we bought from you sells well, so my pocket contents has also increased, which is of course a wonderful thing. But, as I thought, it is still a bad appearance sake.ââBad?â
âTo be frank, thereâs a regular report next week. So, of course I will need to report about you guys.â
âAh! And then they might feel suspicious, right?â
âThey might think that thereâs some unfairness somewhere. Encountering monsters five times in half a day is a rare thing you see.â
âRather than rare, walking around for a day and encountering them three times is already a decent situation. Moreover, the group of monsters you guys encountered are just perfect for your party.â
âAdditionally for all encounters to be pre-empt is impossible. Normally in 2 out of 3 encounters, they were at least on the ambushed side.â Pran added to Kazaneâs sentence.
âThat means, it will become suspicious whether we hunt with only two people, us.â
âBecause, it will indicate the possibility of group hunting.â
âIs that a problem?ââWell, since we are rank F, they might think we hire people to increase our achievements.â
Kazane answers Yumika question.
âAnd itâs also possible they will think that you guys are threatening other parties and snatch their materials.â
âThatâs cruel. Do you really think we would do something like that?â
âYes. Since you seem like a malicious person.â
Hearing Pran words Kazane groans, but Yumika talks back with an unsatisfied face.
âThereâs no way we did something unfair similar to it or like that.â
\nHearing that, Kazane and Yumika nod at the same time.

TL: about the townâs name, the author sometimes changes it between âWinlardâ andâWenlardâ. As I was confused about what to do, I just left it as it was.
