On our way back, Marsha suddenly let out a yell.

“Hey! I was casually checking the bracelet just now and something crazy is going on with my points! For some reason my points have risen to 44?!”

Their attention drawn by her statement, everyone else checked their bracelets, as well.

“Uwo! I am only 19 points, eh?”

“I am 26.”

“I only have 15 points?”

George and the others unanimously informed each other of their points.

Following Marsha, Mondo had the highest points.

Hmm? Even if we did get points from our activities today, I thought it would have only been a few points…

When I hurriedly checked my points as well, surprisingly enough, it was at 41.

And when I checked how I got those points-it was listed that I got about 33 points from monster subjugation and 8 from aid actions.

Oi, oi, fish also count as monsters?!

And what’s this 8 points for aiding actions? Because I made a fishing rod for each of them?

Like 2 points for each? It’s more of a shock that I only got 2 points for that painstaking work.

But still, this is too unfair, this way of earning points… even I am astounded.

“If cautious actions gave 2 points then-we get one point for each fish we catch?!”

“I see! I also caught about 24, if I remember correct, so there’s no mistaking it.”

“Don’t put on airs just ‘cause you won in fishing, Mondo. However, that settles it. I also remember catching 17 so each fish gives 1 point.”

I heard George and Mondo conversing.

Oh, shoot.

With this, scoring points becomes super easy.

I started panicking inside.

“Hahaha, this is stupid. Earning points so easily, the person who set it up must be an idiot. Those Greed Circus guys are quite the foolish bunch, huh?!”

“Right? I also think so. I was thinking it would be quite hard~ But this makes it a piece of cake, right~?”

George said with a laugh and Aina also followed up with a nod.

Their words hurt my ears.

Why? ‘Cause I was the one who set it up.

It’s just a bit, no, actually, quite a bit embarrassing.

I had set the 30 points to be the passing limit so Marsha has already passed.

Mondo only needs 4 more points and even Aina who has the least points among them has earned about half the points needed.

[[Fufufu, exactly as calculated, huh, Rimuru-sama?]]

Ciel spoke to me happily while I was sulking.

What are you talking about?-when I asked her that, she replied with an atmosphere of ‘I know what you are planning’.

[[After today’s activities, Mondo, who is a dropout, will be viewed in a better light. And also Marsha, who has a talent for magic will be given a different role, right?]]

Wh-what?!

In other words, this grouping wasn’t appropriate, as I thought. It seems they just grouped the problematic ones.
