DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 24 - Capturing the Fugitive

"You're Richard! I'll make sure you'll suffer once I'm free, and-Ugh!"

"That won't happen, after all the crimes you've committed. We will punish you severely, the death penalty is also an option." A knight said that, and look how the stalker earlier whose face was previously filled with grudges now turned into fear.

You deserve it, I don't think anyone's stupid enough to let someone like you go after what you said just now, do you? Yeah, I think it's all done now.

And in the days that followed, he was rightfully sentenced to death after his survivors one by one gave him grave accusations.

And, that's the end of the man that until now I didn't know his name.

Honestly, I prefer not to find out, it's just a waste of time for me.

"Congratulations, it looks like the guild has already decided to raise your adventurer rank one level." Whoah, did I make it? Aisha, with a smile adorning her face gave me my guild card that looked a little different in a certain section, "Congratulations, from now on you are an E-class adventurer."

"Thank you ..." I did say it casually, but actually in my heart I wanted to say, "I MADE IT! LOOK, I'M NOT AT THE BEGINNER LEVEL ANYMORE!" while jumping up and down in excitement, but I do not want to look ridiculous in front of Liya let alone to make many people in this place see me astonished.

"Good for you sir, it seems like all the missions we took over the past few days made you reach a new level." Liya commented, but was a bit sad on the part of her face.

I wondered why she was like that, until the moment Aisha with a smile adorning her cheeks shocked us for a moment after taking out another card.

"Who said only Richard rose the rankings. Congratulations, you're also one of the only ones!"

"N-Get to E you mean?" While Liya couldn't hide her shock, I slightly smiled a little.

Yup, that's gonna happen. I don't think Liya will miss. I mean, we became adventurers together and also took missions together. So I can conclude our rankings will not be much different later.

And, like that. On that day everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, we who managed to raise the adventurer rank and the shocking news from the court.

I didn't think too much about it, this way wouldn't I already be able to accept a rather difficult mission?

"Nmh ... Sure, you can take that for F, E, even for some reason, the Union also allows you to take missions with rank one level above you." Excuse me?! You just said 1 level above, you mean level D?

"How is that possible?" I asked for an answer to this, I was just curious. Although I've thought of some plausible answers, like one of them is successfully completing the difficult mission of capturing a famous fugitive. Emm, that must be the reason.

"No, it's more than that. We recently did an investigation, and, emmm ... I want to ask you one thing Richard, what level are you at?" I looked at Aisha who asked a rather difficult question to me. Wait, they did that behind my back?

"I am ..." While Aisha was waiting for an answer, I made my eyes turn towards the bottom.

"I'm now at level 85." Yeah, I'm sure about that. And after saying that I created a panel that showed my status was hidden.

She must have thought I was trying not to say it, right? You're wrong, I completely forgot or arguably was checking my professional status to make sure there were no mistakes in this. Then, it just so happened that I also saw Liya's profession.

[Profession : Level 69 Magician]

He's adding quite a number. About thirty maybe? Liya must have worked hard for this. So, I was wondering how she reacted when I told her about ...

"Can you repeat that? D-eight ... Thirty ... L-five?"

"Yes, it's at 85." Is there something wrong with that? Why does Aisha look a bit limp when she says that? And, this conversation made me wonder exactly what the highest level adventurers in the guild had.

"Thousand ... Might? I don't know, even one of the best adventurers in this branch office had only reached level 100 and he was now in his 30s. You could say you're gonna make it a few more years, maybe?"

"Hm ... I don't think so, I just trained a few months ago. So the chances of me getting to level 100 is at the moment ..." I was suddenly confused, unconsciously making Aisha even more limp, but seriously. Why isn't my brain working now? I mean, I need expertise for summation now.

"About a week." That's what the system said when I asked for his opinion.

Yeah, all right, one week! So that much! I immediately said it to Aisha who had fainted, "Basin the monster. You will become the best adventurer with your terrifying leveling speed!"

"..." - ".A monster? Best adventurer? There is no need to be too genius for me to know that I am really very strong according to Aisha! "really?! Does that mean I can take an A-class mission?"

And along with that, Bruk! What's up again? I heard something that made the door sound. I don't know who intentionally did this but it's very disturbing.

"Have come ..."

"Ah, not again. I don't want to deal with him!"

Everyone was preparing to leave, trying to dodge the person who had just walked inside. Yup, he was an adventurer, but his burly body made him look like a member of the military.

"That man is Bruno. The one who would challenge anyone he considered a rival." In a still asleep position Aisha said it while raising her hand. Really? Oh, but I don't have to worry, I don't belong in that category do I? "Not until I tell him about your powers."

What're those?! it was as if Aisha was telling me to, "Quickly run away. Before he finds you!" I failed to respond quickly due to being too confused, until.

"Who is Richard. I'm challenging you now! If you really are that unknown strong adventurer, then I will give you a chance to get it! Fight me here, let's show you who the best of the hundred adventurers who joined this small guild are!" Heh? He really did. UAWHAT?! This guy named Bruno is really challenging me to fight?!
