Chapter 15 - Silver-ranked

" Ladies and Gentlemen, we finally arrived at Town Allure"

The old and worn cart we rode in clattered over a rock, Over the crunch of wheels through thick mud, I was jolted from my sleep, along with my partner, Mya

We been out of the road from half a day, we arrived in exactly afternoon, At last, we arrived in Town Allure, my hometown

Allure was more or less, an town that is closer from the capital city, It's population is different from Tata,, Also Allure is one of the town's that have a trading post, where you can collect rewards from slained monsters,

Allure is special because of its trading post, merchants and it's high-status on a town, besides the capital of Andromeda, Caria City

" Roxy, where here!"

Seeing Mya face is exited as it seems, we arrived at the town gates, hoping to enter Town Allure safely, First, we payed the toll from the guard

" Ma'am, toll for one silver"

There I gave exactly two silver from the guard, one for me, and from Mya, there we safely past the town gates, Seeing the busy streets full of merchants made Mya widened it's eyes, full of curiosity

After we safely passed the gates of Town Allure, we arrived at the Merchant District from which my house resides,

" Roxy, is this your house, I never seen a large house like that"

" Yes, you will be living here permanently"

Then, the house didn't change as usual, beside is where my sister meat shop located, and the exterior didn't change at all, not a single dust had fallen from our house, I only left in exactly three days and yet nothing has changed

Also, one thing I notice is that, there was no people in the household, I knew that Elicia currently lives in Caria City, and my brother, Elias who is an Luminous Knight, the place feel empty, like an abandoned place that is mostly quiet

" Woah, your house looks creepy, Does anyone lives there?"

" None, only I lives in this house"

After that, I opened the door with my rusty key I kept, Nothing was out of the place inside, the worn out table remain stable, the meat shop full of dried blood, the melted remains of a candle dropped in the floor, it was remained untouched in days, This was a symbol of my earlier life after I reincarnated, Until now, Then, now I will begin my redemption

There I lit an candle with my stored matchstick, and proceeds to light the inside, it was gloomy, But Mya was surprised from the inside of my house, It's expression says otherwise

" Woah, this is the first time I stepped in a wooden house before, it was the best experience I ever had"

I felt bad from Mya because she had to endure the extreme poverty from her life in Tata, only her grandfather remained in their household, But from this experience, she reminded itself as her home

Seeing that Mya was wandering and admiring the interior, I asks Mya calmly

" Mya, follow me,"

" Okay, Roxy, I can tell that this house is a small place'

Sure that my house is small, but it has three bedrooms, One kitchen and one bathroom, in this household, there was no living rooms, leisure rooms and any other rooms from the modern times in my past life, It is very rough in the medieval era

There, Mya followed me and I unlocked one of the rooms in my household, This is where Mya will be staying in for the rest of her life, it was a small bedroom, with a king-sized bed in the middle, I can already tell Mya delightful face

" Woah, this room is wonderful, I suppose that this is where I rest now, Am I right?"

" Yes, Mya, from now on, this is your personal bedroom"

This bedroom was originally from my father, Richard Rynd, he died in an unknown accident two months after I reincarnated in this world, it's cause of death was unknown and his remains were never to be seen, My older brother, Elias was currently investigating my father's death, pinpointing the exact killer that caused the death of my father, At least he reminded me of…

There, it was occupied by Mya, the cat hybrid girl that I stumbled in the woods, alone and was about to die, I rescued it and learned her tragic life in the slums, there she left her homeland and decided to live with me, to make her life better,

" Mya, use the remaining clothes from the drawer to change, They were my father's clothes"

" Sure, Roxy, I will get tidy after you come back"

" Mya, I will go outside for a second"

" Okay, can you prepare dinner for me, I'm hungry"

I was curious and wanted her to continue, but also she was half-right, I was getting hungry after our trip, we didn't ate a single meal since that day, I only ate a single stale bread that Mya grandfather gave me after our departure

I left the house behind as I stepped through it's old doors, inhaling the fresh air of my homeland, I was destined to return in this place someday, there, I picked a sack from one of my pockets,

Inside that sack was the heart of spider queen, a peak-level beast that I fought in the deserted village, I risked my life just for this, and I extracted it's heart to repay my sister taxes, that is the only reason why I participated in this event,

Upon my return to the Central Plaza of Allure, i went to the trading post for my reward money,

It was full of rough-looking adventurers standing shoulder to shoulder, the crowd was full of adventures and parties, holding thei sack that contains ehe hearts of their slained beasts, Getting mixed up with these types could only lead to trouble, so I slipped through the crowds and took my place in line, holding a sack of the hearted spider queen

" Hey, stay away from those slimy fingers of yours, Can't you see I was in line?"

The adventures were fiesty as before, they boasted of their slained monsters in the wild, based on the event, it was only located on one singular place, Karama Village

The muscular adventurer at the end of the line turned and peered down at me, He chuckled indefinitely, one look at my feminine clothes, and he probably figured that I was just some scrub running errands from a free adventurer, Whatever that was fine by me

After the last adventurer left in the line, holding a handful of silver, I was the next in line, claiming my rewards for slaying a beast

The cashier called on me, " Ma'am, your next in line"

Then, I took my small bag that only contained a single heart of a spider queen, it was hard as a rock, showing a tint of purple, and a ragged shape of an heart, There the cashier examined it thoroughly

" Let me see here… My, My, I can already tell that this is a hell of a magic beast, Is it a high level beast, I suppose"

" Yes, this is a spider queen that I found on Karama Village,"

Then, the cashier jaw dropped at the counter, There he bowed repeatedly with a touch of politeness,

" To think that somebody finally defeated the Spider queen completely, My, My, this is truly a splendid day"

According to the cashier, this particular peak-level beasts had been the kingpin of the widespread population of spiders, For generations from now, The Luminous Knights put out a bounty from this specific kind of beasts, due to its high regeneration and it's famously acid spit, almost no one survives battling this kind of monster, Until now

When I thought about it, almost my whole party did all the work, draining its mana so that it surpasses the inability to heal, I finished it in one go, using my Blood Sword as an weapon of choice

" Wait, did I hear that girl slained the magic beasts, all by herself!'

" Yeah, she definitely slained the peak-level beasts"

The trading post reverted with noise from the crowds that have gathered, they were shocked because a simple girl like me slained a dangerous beasts that handed multiple generations, people glared me by my figure, bit there was nothing to do about them,

Then, the cashier at the trading post handed me a small token, made entirely made of silver, showing a cross at the center, The cashier explained it easily

" Ma'am, this is an adventurer token, it will show you stats and your current ranks, The material of the tag shows both and identification with the person ranks, This token is an silver-badge"

Then the cashier continued explaining, He said that there were five ranks, the lowest rank is bronze-ranked badge, second to that is stone-ranked badge, thirdly is silver-ranked badge, then, gold-ranked badge and the highest is the diamond-ranked badge

Each rank holds your abilities and it is measured based on your slained beasts, My current rank is Silver-ranked, making me one of the adventures that are not fun of…

Silver-ranked adventurers are considered rare, based on the cashier information, but achieving higher ranks such as gold-ranked and diamond-ranked is considered challenging and hard from most adventurers,

There, I picked my silver token and placed it at one of my pockets, there, the cashier handed out the reward money, exactly five gold,

After I collected the reward money from the trading post, I was met a dozen of adventurers in my way, blocking the path as I went there,

" Ma'am, please join my party, I definitely need stronger adventurers like you"

" Please join our party instead, A silver-ranked adventurers is needed from our group, we will give you half the price from those monsters"

Seeing the people below begging me to join my party, My current silver-rank changed the atmosphere of the people from the crowd, they needed me as a tool for their adventures, and yet, I wasn't comfortable from this kind of situations like that

Luckily, having just defeated the bane of the spider existence, it still wasn't enough, I keep myself out of the spotlight, most who have gathered me in open arms, now my identity was known from my very own eyes

But at that moment, A masked lady suddenly shouted at the crowd, a mysterious figure that I know of, then, the mysterious lady approached me with no harm,

" Ma'am, what is your name?"

Then, the masked lady was wearing a hooded leather, I can already tell that she is an adventurer, its sword scabbard was visible from my eyes, then she told me my own name

" Roxy, My name is Roxy"

" Roxy?, what a familiar name, because of your skill, why join us our guild,"

I shouted my nickname out loud, Banishing my old name " Eirene" and replacing it a new one, I used my nickname as an identity, the same I used as Mya, there I said my fake name from the masked lady

" Ugh, what guild are you talking about?, is it crucial?"

Then, the masked lady lend out three single words that I know of, I easily recognized it's guild easily

" Yellow Flower Guild"
