Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

"Damn that was fun, we ate a lot of crabs," said Veronica.

??

"Indeed, the roasted fish was also good," said Ervas.

"Who would have thought that going around the beach and catching and eating whatever we found would be so fun?" said Veronica.

"Yeah, peko! It was delicious to eat fresh fish and crab roasted right after getting hunted, peko!" said Pekorina.

"Phew, my belly is full… I won't have space for dinner…" said Amelia saddened, as she rubbed her belly adorably.

"Let's walk back to the Adventurer Guild, I am sure that we can lower our belly a bit with the exercise," said Acathea.

"This was… a rather productive day… I never thought it would be possible for me to reach Level 100 so fast…" said Percy, who after gaining EXP from helping in defeating the Rank 6 Sea Snake monster reached Level 100 immediately, changing Jobs and becoming stronger.

Ervas, Veronica, Pekorina, Amelia, Acathea, and Percy walked out of the port, as it was getting rather late, their first quest did not take too much, but they spent most of the time exploring the beautiful beach and eating whatever little critter they found alongside Haru and Vampy.

"We already hunted this giant thing, we will go get that nice bounty and then head right back to the restaurant!" said Veronica.

"Hm, it is getting late, the sun is going to set soon…" said Ervas.

Veronica carried the large corpse of the Rank 6 Sea Snake with just her arm, while Ervas carried Haru and Vampy with his hands.

The two Rank 1 Monsters had undergone a few changes, as they had recently Ranked Up.

Although most people would not believe that Rank 1 Monsters could even kill a Rank 6 monster, thanks to Ervas and Veronica's strength, the two weakened the large sea snake enough for the two to bite it to death, gaining a bunch of EXP and raising to Rank 3 in one sitting.

Haru, a former Rank 1 Horned Rabbit evolved into a Rank 3 Wind Slicing Horned Rabbit, her appearance became a bit different, as her gray fur gained green-colored stripes, and her horn became covered in a metallic coating.

Meanwhile, Vampy, the former Rank 1 Black Bat evolved into a Rank 3 Crimson Blood Bat, his size increased by a few centimeters. His fur turned crimson red with black stripes, and his wings were long and black, with large fangs and razor-sharp teeth.

Both of them had become a bit stronger, although compared to their senpais such as Aqua and the rest, they still had a long way to go.

However, for today, Ervas and Veronica believed it was good enough.

"Haru and Vampy got so strong today! Rank 3 in one day, amazing! You guys are very promising! I am already expecting great things from you two!" said Veronica, as Haru and Vampy released little groans rather adorably.

"Hm, just like Aqua or Kyuu, they might get giant later on, I always like when small monsters evolve to become big…" said Ervas.

"A Giant Horned Rabbit would be hilarious to see, to be honest. And well, a giant Bat too! It would be very terrifying in comparison," said Veronica.

Carrying the large corpse of the Sea Snake into the Adventurer Guild, the two caused quite the commotion.

"W-What is that?!"

"T-That's a Giant Sea Snake… corpse?!"

"And those are Rank 3 monsters with them!"

"I can feel their strength…"

"Oi wait for a second, those two are the ones that showed up a few hours ago!"

"Really?"

"Oh…"

"T-They hunted a Rank 6 monster like nothing?"

"T-They are indeed strong…"

"I am pretty sure that their monsters were Rank 1 before this…"

"Shut up, they are close…"

Ervas and Veronica sighed, they could hear their comments from far away without problems, getting closer to them made them shut up because they thought they were not hearing their comments from afar but would do while being near them… which was incredibly foolish.

Potin, the young dwarf man glared at Ervas and Veronica with awe, what they had just bought to him was a giant corpse of a Rank 6 monster, were they expecting him to buy it or something?

"Hello? Are you there?" asked Veronica, as she glanced at Potin in shock while glancing at the corpse of the Rank 6 monster, something that he would never get to see as a normal citizen that hasn't changed Jobs into anything battle-oriented and was probably as strong as a goblin.

"A-Ah! Yes, yes… W-Which quest was this thing- I mean, this monster needed for?" asked Potin.

"This one," said Ervas, putting the paper of the quest over the table.

Potin glanced at the paper as he realized that this quest was made by an aristocrat that wanted to buy the entire Rank 6 Monster and also gets rid of the Sea Snake that was threatening the beaches of Seashore without letting fishermen catch fish.

"O-Oh… I see… T-The bounty, I will bring it here, please wait for a second," said Potin.

"What's up with him? He looked pretty freaked out, peko! Not like we are freaks or something, right, peko?" asked Pekorina.

"Not at all, he's the weirdo by looking at us like that!" said Acathea.

"Yeah! …Can we take a bit of the meat of the sea snake before selling it?" asked Amelia.

"A-Amelia-san, I don't believe that's possible, the client wanted it entirely…" said Percy.

"Sure why not?" asked Veronica, cutting off a large chunk of the sea snake tail and saving it inside of her soul!

"T-That's… Well, whatever," sighed Percy.

"Yay, Sea Snake for dinner!" said Amelia.

"Weren't you full a little bit earlier though?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah but now I'm hungry again, hehe," said Amelia cutely, as Ervas could not help but pat her head, which made her blush a bit.

"I-I also want head pats, peko!" said Pekorina.

"I don't mind," said Acathea.

"Sure thing," said Ervas, petting Pekorina's head, and caressing her long rabbit ears, which made her shiver a bit while flushing.

"Mufuh…" said Pekorina.

"S-Sorry, is it a delicate area?" asked Ervas.

"N-Not at all… I am fine…" said Pekorina.

Suddenly, two large men entered the room and began to carry away the corpse of the Sea Snake, as Potin walked in, bringing a large sack with money and some items.

"Oh, what are those?" asked Veronica.

"These are magic rings made by the sir that made that request, they were left as rewards as well…" said Potin.

"Magic Rings?" wondered Ervas, using Appraisal in the Rings and finding out that they were Rings that gave a slight resistance enhancement, magic, and mana and also a bit of elemental resistance, the rings were two of the same type.

"Interesting, we usually don't wear something not made by Veronica," thought Ervas.

"Oh, is that lord some kind of crafter?" asked Veronica.

"Indeed, Lord Aran owns several weapon and equipment factories, and is one of the main providers of equipment for Adventurers in Seashore," said Potin.

"Well, nothing that Anna cannot make herself," thought Veronica.

"Here are two Special Resistance Rings and 20 Gold Pieces, which should be what the corpse of such a monster is worth plus a bit of a bonus from Lord Aran's side," said Potin, as Veronica grabbed the rewards and saved the inside of her soul.

"Also, it seems that your monsters have evolved… and you can clearly kill Rank 6 Monsters… so I have received the approbation from Vairvec-sama to increase your Adventurer Ranks to C…" said Potin.

"C?! That soon?" asked Percy.

"Y-Yes, this is an exception and does not usually happen unless already very strong people join as Adventurers… like you," said Potin.

"What are the requirements to increase in Ranks?" asked Ervas.

"Well, it is as easy as bringing a Corpse from a monster of a certain Rank and proving that you defeated it… Also, Stats can be checked through our Appraisal Stone to see how strong you are and calculate that to your Adventurer Rank… But it seems that all of you want to keep that a secret, so Vairvec-sama had decided to simply increase the Rank of all of you to C for now, as the requirement, which was killing a Rank 6 or above monster has been accomplished," said Potin.

"I see…" said Ervas.

"Wait, what are the requirements for previous Ranks?" asked Acathea.

"A-Ah well, for Rank E, defeating a Rank 2 monster and bringing its corpse or proof… and for Rank D it would be defeating a Rank 4 monster and bringing its corpse or proof…" said Potin.

"Quit the simple system, I thought it would be way too complicated or something," said Veronica.

"Well, no… it is in fact quite simple to understand and accomplish as long as the person does have the strength to be part of that Rank. As Vairvec-sama always says, there is no need to make things overcomplicated," said Potin, who seemed to admire Vairvec, the stoic Night Elf.

"I always thought gaining merit was also needed, like completing quests and stuff?" asked Veronica.

"Well yes, that as well, but usually below C-Rank, it is as easy as that. Then, from C-Rank and above, such as B-Rank, A-Rank, and S-Rank, the increase of Ranks becomes harder and it also needs the approbation of many aristocrats and the Guild Master… sometimes there will be people with the power of an A-Rank, but would never be given such a title because the higher-ups did not think of him as deserving of such title yet… It is sometimes unfair, but as long as merit is gained by completing quests, it should be possible… Although Vairvec-sama recommends you to not start fights again, if possible, Veronica-sama," said Potin.

"O-Oh, alright, I will keep that in mind… Very well, see ya," said Veronica, as she and the rest of the party walked out of the Adventurer Guild at her side.
