無事に冒険者登録できたが、Xランクってのがなぁ...。腑に落ちない。
「あ、そうだ。ランクアップ試験は今からでもうけられるぜ?たまに子供扱いして欲しくないからって、登録してすぐにランクアップ試験に挑む奴もいるんだ。どうする?アリムちゃん。やってみるか?ふふふふふ」
「あ......はい、やってみます!」
「うん、いい心がけだ。ふふふふふふふ。あ、ちなみに一回受けたら次の週までうけられねぇぜ」
ふふふふって、笑ってるってことは結構、意地悪な試験なのかな?悪戯でも仕掛けてるような笑みを浮かべやがって。
「じゃ、移動するぜ。試験の場所になっ」
俺はアギトさんについていく。
地下室のような場所に降りると、そこには体育館のようなものが広がっていた。
「よーっし!試験だぁっ!試験内容はこの砂時計が落ちるまでに俺に触れることっ!ちなみに言っとくが、俺も、元冒険者だぜ?手加減はしてやるし攻撃もしねぇけどさ」
あぁ、意地悪そうな笑み浮かべてたのはそのせいか。確かに子供じゃ無理だわな。本当に戦闘経験のない子供だったらな。
「準備はいいか? アリムちゃん。じゃあ、ヨーイ、スタートだ」
そう言いながら砂時計をひっくり返す、アギトさん。
俺は数メートル離れていたアギトさんの手を一瞬の内に掴んだ。
「なぁっ......!?」
(え、見えなかった?)
「合格......ですよね?」
「...............」
アギトさんはしばらく無言だ。相当驚いてる見たい。
「あの? アギトさん?」
「......あ?......あ、あぁ!勿論合格だ!すまん。少し驚いていた。これでアリムちゃんは晴れてFランクだ!おめでとう!」
俺らは上の受付に戻ってきた。
「ほらよ、ギルドカード。Fランク仕様にしといたぜ」
ギルドカードが改めて渡される。
「本当に、初日で適性年齢以下がFランクなんて、初めてだ。凄いんだぜ?」
「えへへ......そうですか?」
「あぁ、そうだとも」
「じゃあ、早速仕事を受けてみてもいいですか?」
「おっ、いいぜ! 今受けられる仕事はFランク魔物の素材採取か薬草採取ぐらいだが?」
「薬草採取してみます!」
「よし、じゃあ薬草採取な。薬草はどんなのかわかるか?」
「はい!」
「おぉ、こころ強いな。薬草は1束15ベルで引き取る。この依頼をこなしたことにするには12束あつめりゃいい。じゃ、気をつけてな」
(かわいいなー。)
ギルドを出るとき、さっきのおじさんに呼び止められた。
「おぉ! お嬢さん! 冒険者登録したのか~~っ! どれ~~ギルドカードみせーてーみー?」
どうしたんだろうか?
「あの?」
「............っ!」
「ギルドカードぉ......あのぉ......」
「あ、ワリィワリィ。ほらよ。これから頑張れよ!」
「おい?ガルガロ?どうかした?あの可愛い娘のギルドカードみて固まってたろ?」
「なぁ、ジエーム、聞いてくれよぉ~......。」
「あの、あの天使のように可愛い娘、 ア、アリムちゃんていうらしいんだけどよーーー。」
「天使のように可愛いい?まぁ、オーバーな表現でもないか。へぇ、いい名前じゃねぇか。その、アリムちゃんがどうした?」
「と、とにかくだ。あの娘12歳で今日、初めて冒険者登録したんだ。」
「ふぅ~~ん。じゃXランクか?でもそれがなにか驚くことあるんだ?」
「それが、Xランクじゃなくて......Fランクだったんだよ.........」
「は? お前酔ってんのか?」
「んなわけねーよ! すっかり酔いが覚めちまった!!!」
「.........いきなり、あの試験クリアしたってか?んなもん不可能だろ............え、本当に本当なのか?」
「だから、そう言ってるだろっ!!!」
俺らの声が聞こえていたのか周りの人も驚いてる。女性冒険者の一人が言い出す。
「ちょっと!ガルガロ!それ本当かい?」
「あ? だからそう言ってるだろ!」
別の奴らも喋り出す。
「可愛くて強い......?そんなのがあっていいのか?」
「んー?いいんじゃなぇか?才能あんだろ?」
いろんな奴らがアリムちゃんについて喋り出す。
「可愛い!強い!俺はあの娘を応援するぜ!」
「そうだな!飽きそうにないな!」
「俺も応援しようかな~。」
「あたいも応援するかな!これからに期待しよう!」
「アリムちゃんかぁ...。」
すっかり酒場はアリムちゃんの話題でいっぱいである。
こうしてアリムはファンを増やしていくのであった。
I have successfully registered as an adventurer, but I am a Rank X... this doesn't really make sense to me at all.
[Ah, that's right. Do you want to try to take a Rank Up exam now? Some people take the Rank Up exams after they have registered, because they don't want to be treated as a child as soon as possible. What will you do, Alim-chan. Want to try it? Fufufufufu] 
[Ah... Yes!, I'll take the test! ] 
[Good... You sure are dedicated. Fufufufufu. Ah, by the way, after this, you won't be able to take one again after a week. ] 
Fufufutte, it's fine if you are just sneering, is the test maybe some sort of bullying? You're sneering as if you are trying to do something mischievous.
[Well then, Let us move. We will be heading toward the test area.] 
I followed Agito-san.
When we went down to the bas.e.m.e.nt, something like a gymnasium can be seen, the gym was spreading out there.
[Alright! For the Examination! It will be simple. You just have to touch me before this hourgla.s.s falls over. By the way, I am a former adventurer and will be resisting the attacks but won't attack myself. ] 
Ah, so that's why he is giving a nasty grin. Certainly, if it's a normal child then it will definitely be impossible. For a child, the real battle experience is certainly lacking.
[Are you ready, Alim-chan? Then let's begin. ] 
While saying that, Agito-san turned over the hourgla.s.s.
Within that moment, I quickly moved and grabbed Agito-san's hand that was several meters away from me.
[Wha, what... ... ... !? ] 
(Eh, you didn't see that?)
[I pa.s.sed... is it not?] 
[... ... ...] 
Agito-san stood still for a while. It seems like he was quite astonished.
[Ano?... Agito-san? ] 
[...Ah!... Ah! Right! Of course you pa.s.sed. I was just a bit shocked, so Alim-chan is now an F Rank. Congratulations. ] 
An then, we returned to the reception area.
[Here's your guild card, please verify that the specification has been changed to F Rank] 
My guild card was handed over again. It is said that F specification have been placed. There was and English letter F engraved on the card.
[Seriously, this is the first time that someone of age less than required for F rank takes the test and pa.s.sed on the first day. It's quite amazing you know?] 
[Ehh... is that so?] 
[Yeah... that's how it is.] 
[Then, can I take a request now? ] 
[Oh...there's no problem! The request you can receive as an F rank will be collecting demon materials and gathering medicinal herbs. ] 
[Then I will do the medicinal herbs collection. ] 
[Okay, then it's medicinal herb collection, do you know what medicinal herbs you need to collect?] 
[Yes!] 
[Ah, you sure are confident, then basic medicinal herbs would be 15 bells per bundle, 12 bundles are required to complete the request, so be careful. ] 
(That sure is cute.)
When I left the guild, I was called out by the old man I have met a while ago.
[Oh! Jou-chan! Were you able to register as an adventurer? How... can I see it? ] 
Was there something wrong with it?
[Th, that?] 
[... ... ...n!?] 
[Guild card... um... ] 
[Well, my bad, here ya go. Do your best from now on! ] 
[Oi? Galgar? Was there something wrong? When you looked at that cute little girl's guild card? ] 
[Hey, Jeim, listen to this...] 
[You see, that cute little girl like a little angel, it seems Alim-chan is her name, however...] 
[Well she really is cute like an angel, no doubt about it, but isn't that quite overrated... but well that's a nice sounding name. so what up with that Alim-chan? ] 
[That girl seems to be 12 years old and has been registered as an adventurer for the first time. ] 
[Well, it's probably Rank X right? But is there anything surprising about that? ] 
[That, the rank was not X... it was Rank F... ] 
[What! Are you drunk? ] 
[I am not, I clearly am not intoxicated and sober enough. ] 
[... for that to suddenly clear that test... It should be impossible... Eh, is that really true? ] 
[That's what I've been saying already!!! ] 
People that were surrounding us were quite surprised, probably heard what we were talking about. One of the female adventurers came to speak to us.
[One moment! Gargal! Is what you are talking about true?] 
[Ah, I have already been saying that! ] 
Another person also speaks out.
[So cute and strong...? May I also have something like that? ] 
[Hmm? Isn't that good? A bunch of talent is it? ] 
Many more people began talking about Alim-chan.
[Cute! Strong! I will be supporting that girl! ] 
[That's right! We won't definitely be bored of it! ] 
[I might as well cheer for her!] 
[Will you need my support! Let's expect that from now on! ] 
[Alim-chan!!!...] 
A lot of talks have taken place for Alim-chan in the tavern that day.
In this way, The Fans of Alim-chan gradually increased.
