DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 44 - Rise To C
"Did? Little boy ... Do not interfere in the affairs of the dead ... Argh!" Awwww, that must hurt, right? Receiving a blow to the abdomen from someone you refer to as a 'Little child'?
Seeing all this, I could only laugh mockingly at the thugs.
"Basic bastards! You ... Yeah, you're gonna get in trouble for hurting us!"
"And, are you guys also not going to deal with the knights for trying to rob?" I looked around, there were a lot of eyewitnesses here. Obviously they have chosen the wrong place to launch their action.
Honestly, if I could choose. We were supposed to come from a somewhat deserted road for some reason.
"I don't care! What matters is who gets the tentacles and hands them over to the guild for the first time?!" They're very stubborn. I hesitated to touch it ... Ah, naw. Rather than reaching this tentacle, to pass this girl beside me alone they would definitely not be able to.
"elvin ... They're so upset, can I break their bones?" Are you seriously seeking my approval for this?
It should be Charlotte's nature to tend to act alone without listening to my words.
Haha ... I had no reason to refuse this kind request from the girl beside me, so I decided to agree.
"Good ... And now for you!"
"Ah, what are you waiting for? Give her-Aww! Ah, stop that!" Charlotte took the arm of one of the screaming ones then overturned her laugh in a few moves.
"Basic boy! You dare to do it, huh?! You'll be in trouble because of this! We'll make sure -" Hmmm ... Too much talking, you don't even realize something's gonna hit your head in a few seconds.
"Then ... Next ..."
"Ah, not again! We will come again to reply! You don't expect to be ..." The other one blurred so shamefully, he fell down a few times then stood back up as if his gaze was only glued to us to make sure no one was chasing.
"How's it?" If Charlotte asks my opinion when she sees him fighting.
"Gruesome." Ah, really. He does look like that, anyone would be surprised to see a child able to beat some people older and taller than them, right?
Never mind, I'll just give Charlotte a natural congratulations. That is giving a sentence of praise that is appropriate for his work today.
At least, in the time after. It will make her face red for some time, ah, I didn't notice it.

"What's? You managed to defeat the squid monster?" Elina looked at me in disbelief, after everything I did in Rithea, I thought it would not hurt to tell you a little about my experience there when I returned to Tulha City.
Of course, for the part of my routine with Liya I purposely did not let her know, or arguably I missed that part.
"Congratulations, besides that I can also already say you graduated to reach C rank. Same with your partner, Liya if it's not the wrong name, right?"
"Ah, yes." Suddenly the girl in question was already beside me. Liya seemed to be very enthusiastic when she met Elina, it seemed like something was causing her good mood.
"Congratulations to you, you guys are C-class adventurers for Richard and D for Liya. Arguably, for now, you Richard are in a position to match Bruno in the best rank of adventurer." That sounds good to me. Bruno huh? I thought the man wouldn't be happy when he heard that I would be one step ahead of him.
Well, I'll accept the challenge of his duel if he forces me to do so, if that happens.
But, within days after, there was no news of the single adventurer. What has caused Bruno to disappear over the past few years?

"Ah, you've finally come again. Sorry for the incident back then, I really didn't know you had that ability." Well, I don't really mind it. After all, it is natural not to trust anyone easily, especially to strangers like me.
"I came to take on another hunting mission around the ocean territory." Because it looks like there's someone who is hooked on the food in this town (Seeing Charlotte) "I decided to fight something that is in the water. Is there?"
"Let me see ... A-It was a crab that bothered the residents and some other monsters." Crab, huh? It seems like it doesn't matter to me, as long as he can make dinner and no less important, it's one of the things that can improve the ranking.
I then took a mission and went out to sea to find something we were looking for that turned out to be around the coast.
"That's my part, let me do it!" There were two, three even up to five large creatures with two claws roaming around to mess up.
The three of us struggled in the beginning because they overran when they first attacked, but I would easily outsmart this by ...
"Wait ... Don't do that ..." What was? Suddenly Charlotte was blocking me while I was using [Shock]. "Do you think everything can be finished with just one attack? At least let us grow!"
Ah, yes! I finally realized what Charlotte meant by developing it.
How could I forget about it, that I could not rely too much on a single skill and try to occasionally rely on my comrades.
"Well, what if we start with Liya's fire magic?" For my entire assessment, it still remains the same, too devastating!
The girl was able to make the beach full of holes. In fact, on several occasions you can conclude, Liya only managed to hit two of the total number of crabs.
Then for Charlotte, she relied on her spear this time and added the [Sharpen] skill to her weapon, as well as something I know as [Speed Up] which made her move very fast ... Eh? Wait up!
"HOW DID YOU LEARN IT?!!!"
