I love how our main characters don't even bat an eye at the Orc-san and give sincere compliments. Just a bunch of good-natured quirky people. I wonder if the siscon can bear watching Voltemia risk injury during the tournament though...
Regardless, time for a TOOOOUUURNAMEEEENT!!!
You'd think the guild would have a way to promote D-rank adventurers without forcing them to do E-rank quests. Like an exam or something. At the very least, Yuri and Philea slipped through the cracks and are ranked far below their ability, and that's a major waste of resources (and muscle).
At least Astarte had a way for them to work their way up by showing their competence (and muscles).
Come to think of it, why is Astarte Town lacking in challenging quests when it's near a dangerous B-rank forest? Isn't that too unbalanced?
