Volume 2 - CH 429

10-15. My Bad.

Now that the conversation has come to a pause, I’d like to join everyone who should be here.

Considering Lacc as well, I’ll go check on him later.

Oh, should I ask for permission?

“Sorry, Asure. Actually, today I came here riding a flying dragon. Two mounted dragons and a battle horse are with me.”

“A flying dragon, mounted dragons, and a battle horse… You’ve really tamed them well.”

“Yeah, as for the battle horse… um… it’s a horse I received when I left from here!!”

“”WHA-?””

That should be the reaction!

Of course, they would react that way!

But it wasn’t on purpose!

Well, ……, I certainly left it alone for a long time, but that’s not the point!

A-anyway, I’d like him to introduce a place where it won’t be a problem to leave them…

What do they think about that?

“Oh well, if it’s something like that, we can handle it here. However… about that horse…”

“I don’t know why it ate monster meat…”

“I think it wouldn’t eat unless it’s in a state of extreme hunger. I don’t think such a thing happens in the Kingdom of Salettana… and I can’t imagine there being monster meat lying around. No one would just give it to him.”

“Is that so?”

“I don’t think anyone goes out of their way to create monsters.”

“Indeed…”

Let’s leave this topic aside.

Let the truth remain in the dark…

“Oh, right, Houen. We should get an inn.”

“Ah, you’re right.”

“You can just stay in my place, you know?”

“No, no, I can’t impose that much…”

“Ah… cough. Well then, Ouren-san, I have a question for you.”

“Huh, what is it?”

It’s unusual for Asure to ask something like this in this manner…

“The party known as Reitei is also well-known here… And with the addition of Houen, I’m sure they’re popular. But if such a person stays at one inn, resting becomes impossible.”

“I’ll gladly accept your offer!”

Sleep is important!!

I, who was bedridden for a month, can say that without a doubt!

I glance at Houen, and it seems we share the same opinion, so this time let’s rely on Asure.

Well, going to get an inn now would be troublesome.

By the way, I wonder what everyone else is doing?

“The other members have also had their rooms prepared here. It’s better to have a discussion as soon as possible.”

Indeed, that seems better. Where are the others now?

“They went hunting monsters. They should be back by night. But Thekil, a child, should have remained in the room.”

“Tekil… Thekil?”

“One of the people brought by Reizen. He has specialized skills in crafting magical tools.”

“Oh… So, how is he doing in the end? Is he fitting in?”

Thanks to Reizen, huh.

Well, that’s good then.

I can’t easily drive away someone Reizen helped, right?

It seemed like it was a conversation about whether I should accept him as a comrade or make the final decision, but it doesn’t have to be me.

If it’s clear that there’s no problem, I can just act together with him to prevent the resurrection of the Voice.

Well… I don’t really know what kind of person he is!

Now, I, who was bedridden for a month, have to do something!

I have to make up for it or Hoeen might get pissed for real…

But considering the current situation, my options are limited…

I realized that hunting monsters is pointless, so the only thing I can do is to use magic power…

“Oh, right, I remember now. My magic power reached 300,000.”

“””HAH?!”””

Ehh, uhmm, could anyone please say something? I’m really scared right now.

No need to give me that look, Houen…

Bart seems curious, huh?

Asure, are you also surprised? I’ve never seen that expression on your face before.

“Um… Did I… do something wrong?”

“It’s not something you should casually mention.”

“My bad…”

Huh, this feeling… It’s been a while…

I still don’t understand why it has become such an absurd number.

Dragons are amazing!

That much, I understand!

But this is probably the ultimate evolution.

It took a long time~

I was able to see the form of a dragon in reality, truly a dragon person!

I might even be classified as that kind of race!

…Although I might be the only one…

“Um, cough… For now, let’s interrupt the ongoing tasks and switch to magic power release.”

“That’s right. But how should we handle the monsters brought by adventurers that will probably arrive by tonight…? We should contact the guild first.”

“How are you going to release your magic power?”

“For now, I’m thinking of gathering soldiers and having them release magic into the sky. With this much, we can do it without relying on the citizens. Maybe I’ll also ask for Ouren’s help. If you have that much magic power, I’d like to ask for your assistance.”

“Leave it to me! I haven’t had a good opportunity lately!”

“Ouren, don’t overexert yourself.”

“I- I know!”

It wouldn’t make sense if it goes out of control.

Let’s make sure to be careful about that…

In that case, today will be a free day.

Well, I’ll just wait until everyone comes back~
