Kazuki and his group finally emerged from the dungeon, their clothes dirty but their spirits high. After completing their quest, they decided to head to the guild to report their success. The guild hall was as bustling as ever, adventurers filling the large room with chatter and laughter. They walked up to the receptionist’s desk to submit their dungeon report.

  The receptionist, a young woman with bright red hair, took their documents and read through them. She gave them a warm smile, but then her expression shifted slightly as she reread the details.

  "I... think there's been a mistake," she said. "According to our records, the dungeon you explored isn’t a D-rank one at all. In fact, it's more of a B-rank dungeon." She glanced at the group in surprise. "You’ve all done exceptionally well. The monsters you faced were no joke."

  Kazuki tilted his head, his friendly expression not fading. "So, does that mean we’ve been promoted?"

  The receptionist chuckled, giving him a nod. "Exactly! You’ve proven yourselves capable. As of now, you're officially C-rank adventurers."

  The group’s faces lit up with joy. Their hard work had paid off. They celebrated for a moment, exchanging high-fives and congratulations.

  "Well done, everyone," Kazuki said, his voice filled with warmth. "We did it!"

  After the guild's official recognition, they decided to take a break.
