After that incident with massacre of B rank Seeker party, their "beginner" dungeon got classified as B rank, and thus all the quest rank are being reclassified. Mercedes also got promoted to C rank.

Margit's drawing sold for high price as the visual information is really useful. They have many powerful seekers, but most of them are illiterate, so there are often trouble because they can't have the exact information about the monster or materials they're supposed to hunt for. It reminds Mercedes again, many people are illiterate in this world.

Mercedes gave part of the illustration's sale to Margit for her to pay for her debt and living expense. Mercedes won't take Margit to the dungeon again as it has became more dangerous and her cousin also have to take care of her sick mother. In exchange, Mercedes gave her book to learn writing. Just by being literate, Margit could get job as scribe, it's a safe and stable source of income for her because they can't depend on their father and family.

Benkei (the orc) told Mercedes she's kind, but his master said she just don't want to carry burden of someone else. Yet, it's not like she even need to help in the first place.
