‘Tsk.’

Unfortunately, it was a Magic-grade item. It seemed difficult to obtain a Rare item with 4th place in contribution. However, since this belt is a set item, I figured I could definitely sell it, so I decided to be content with that and slowly make my exit.

“Vice Guild Master! What place did you get in contribution?”

‘What is it now?’

I briefly turned my head and saw a guild member with sparkling eyes. It’s hard to get used to a guy acting like that.

“4th place.”

“Wow~ 4th place?”

Is he making fun of me?

Just as I was thinking that, Aizen, who had been surrounded by guild members, approached me.

“Rudin-nim. Please accept this.”

“Huh? What?”

I responded and saw Aizen’s glowing hand, then accepted the trade. And in the trade window, I saw a single box appear.

This is…… a Rare Box?

Looking up at Aizen again, he spoke casually.

“If it weren’t for Rudin-nim, we wouldn’t have succeeded like this. So, it didn’t feel right for me to keep all three.”

“Oh, is that so?”

I had no intention of refusing. Considering the value of a Rare item, how could I refuse? I quickly accepted the Rare Box, and Aizen, after giving it to me, turned back to the guild members.

‘I got a Rare Box from an unexpected source.’

[Rare Box] (Rare)

Description: A box whose contents are unknown until opened. It can contain anything from equipment to potions, recipes, and materials, but its grade is fixed at Rare.

━Acquires a random Rare-grade item.

At first glance, it seems like a much better box than the ones sold at the Duel Arena. Those boxes are said to only contain materials.

‘So now I have two Rare items.’

The sword and the box. And if my guess is correct, I should be able to extract the desired item slot from this box. Meaning I don’t have to worry about what item will come out.

“Vice Guild Master~”

‘What now?’

Then, a cute-looking girl approached me with a beaming smile.

‘……Who is she?’

“I was so impressed watching you fight earlier, Vice Guild Master.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

“Do you have a partner by any chance? If not, let’s be partners. I’ll take good care of you.”

I don’t know what she means by “taking good care of me,” but she subtly linked arms with me and looked up at me slightly. It wasn’t necessarily unpleasant, but……

‘Why is she acting like this?’

We’re not acquainted, and she approached me first with a friendly smile, so it was natural to have such thoughts.

“Or do you not like me?”

[Friend ‘Raz’-nim has requested a conversation. Will you accept?]

“Huh? Ah, hold on a second.”

Since I had a good excuse, I detached myself from the guild member’s arm and accepted Raz’s conversation request.

[Connected to the conversation.]

━Rudin! I saw a message saying the Bamut Cult was subjugated, was that the Emperor Guild?

Raz’s speech was quite fast, as if he was in a hurry. Was it that big of a deal? The subjugation of the Bamut Cult?

“Yeah, we just finished.”

━Wow…… I’m envious. Did you get anything?

“Well, there is something. The message said Aizen defeated him.”

Come to think of it, that message indirectly informed everyone that the Emperor Guild had succeeded. But the fact that he requested a conversation to ask about it means he really wanted to confirm it himself.

━Ah, right. That’s true. Anyway, good work.

‘It’s worth talking about…… isn’t it?’

Quite a few guilds have challenged the Bamut Cult so far. Moreover, if you count individuals rather than guilds, it easily exceeds several thousand, and the problem was that they all failed. In comparison, the Emperor Guild succeeded on their own without any help from other guilds, so it was bound to become a hot topic.

“But you didn’t contact me just to ask about that, did you?”

━No, that’s right.

“……”

This girl?

━Hehe, anyway, good job.

[Conversation ended.]

“Vice Guild Master. Are you done with your conversation?”

“Yes. But I think I need to head back to town first. Excuse me.”

“Yes, no, wait.”

Leaving behind the guild member who was about to say something, I took out a Return Scroll from my item window and immediately teleported to the mansion.

[Using Return Scroll.]

Pabat!━

“Phew.”

Returning with the Return Scroll, I could truly feel that the battle with the Bamut Cult was over. Although the fact that it was someone else’s house still bothered me.

‘I’d like to buy a mansion, but……’

Where do I buy one, though?

Anyway, I didn’t intend to stay here any longer, so I went outside and took out the Rare Box I received from Aizen.

‘What should I extract?’

A shield? A Rare shield would be worth extracting. The problem is that I acquired an S-rank crafting skill. The defense of a shield crafted with Recipe Creation didn’t seem like it would be inferior to a Rare shield.

Excluding that useless Black Thorn Shield, of course.

‘Then, something I can’t craft would be…… a cloak?’

Coincidentally, I didn’t have a cloak among the equipment I was wearing. Realizing this, I briefly contemplated and decided to extract a cloak.

Yeah, a Rare-grade cloak would be different.

I moved to a less crowded area and used Intuition. Fortunately, Intuition activated as usual, and when I set the target as a cloak, it was extracted ridiculously easily.

[Ding!~ You have acquired ‘Mantle of the Azure Guardian’.]

‘That was easy.’

Having extracted the cloak in less than 5 minutes, I smiled and checked its information.

[Mantle of the Azure Guardian] (Rare)

Description: A cloak that has turned azure. It is one of the pieces of equipment worn by the now-vanished Guardian of the Sea. This cloak, made from the scales of a dragon inhabiting the sea, had its color faded due to the infusion of powerful magic power during the crafting process. However, the fact that it hasn’t lost its original function is also one of its advantages.
