CH 26.2

Part 2

「So why did you asked me to come today?」

「Eh? Ah, right, about that you see. I was getting really impatient and wanted for you to come over here sooner.」

「Did anything happen in the city today?」

「Well, there’s nothing of that, It seems that the subjugation troops still haven’t returned」

It doesn’t seem to be a problem related to the town but is urgent. It’s probably not just an ordinary request.

「Ah, you did mention about an emergency request.」

「If possible, I would like for you to accept it.」

If I don’t go and refuse, there will be huge penalties for the adventurer. I guess, I can’t just decline it. To follow this guild master’s schemes, it doesn’t really leave a good taste. I told the Inn’s poster girl that I won’t be coming back for a while, and then left the Inn after that. An adventurer sure feels like working for a black company.

「Though I asked for Rena-san to find you at the inn but it seems that you were absent, Just how long were you away from the Inn?」

「Is that how you ask for a person you threatened with an emergency request?」

「Oi, oi… …」

Drew-san who was waiting for me at the entrance urges me to come in. He ask me to talk while having a drink, but that won’t deceive me.

「So, what’s the problem this time?」

「Ah, A messenger from the subjugation unit arrived around this afternoon, it seems that the adventurer’s will be returning this morning.」

「Finally everything’s going back to normal, so was it completed?」

「Yo, You… … …」

At the same time as he drunk his alcohol he smashes his hand on the table.

「The subjugation force escaped, they said that the Red Dragon was far stronger than they thought, and they came back from a losing battle… Shit!!」

Drew-san doesn’t hide his impatience as he slams the reports he was holding down on the table.

「What about dead and injured people?」

「About 80% of them are injured, miraculously though no one died. About half of the injured will probably be incapable of continuing their business…」

That really is a lot of damage. It could even be considered a huge disaster. It seems that a lot of them ended up having missing limbs, and probably ending their adventurer lives. Not to mention that the ones that have received those injuries were the extra adventurers who would have only been a burden for the request.

「Most of them were beginner ranks, so it’s not like the effect on the town will be a huge, but realizing its future effects, the damage will be far more horrible… A lot of young ones have been affected after all… Haaaaah…」

「So what’s the urgent request for me?」

Drew-san raised his face that was facing down, then looked at me with a hint of tension then asked.

「… … …Can you defeat that Red Dragon?」

… …Hmmmm, that one fought over 131 people right?

「I have never fought one. So how strong is that?」

「It is considerably strong enough that even 5 A rank parties were taken down」

A ranks? I guess they were also added on the subjugation team. Because their strength should be around the same status as Drew-san, everyone would probably be around 60-80 in level. So if they weren’t able to defeat such dragon, its level should be around three times higher, not to mention the status would be way different considering its race.

「There might be a possibly for me to be injured but I can probably beat it 」

After calculating possibilities, I was confident that I can somehow defeat it. However, I cannot ascertain just how strong it is. But,

「You have already considered it as an Emergency Request right?」

「Will you really do it? Then this…」

「All materials are to be donated to the Town. I understand so will you process it now?」

「Ouuu!!」

And then drew san began processing the request like an excited child. Oh, I wonder if there was a complaint. It might have been also ok for me to receive penalties and not accept the request, but I’ll probably have to find a place to settle down again or they might even try to bind me.

I received the request from Drew-san and verify its contents.

Emergency Request – Red Dragon Subjugation

Completion Reward – 2500 Gold Coins

Request Contents – Must Subjugate the Red Dragon who settled in the Hill of Lizar.

Requirements for Completion – Defeat of Red Dragon, Recovery of Materials

Designated Rank –

Designated Number of Applicants – One Person

「What a terrible amount for a Reward. It’s even higher than any of the reward I have accumulated.」

「If you are able to complete this request, you might be promoted to S Rank at worse it will be A Rank in an instant, so please do your best and complete it!」

Well, that was out of my expectations. But, becoming S Rank is it. The opportunity of meeting Royals might increase greatly. My Motivation rose a bit. And if we have that much money, we can just travel for a couple of years without doing adventurer work.

「Since I will be explaining this to the Adventurers for a bit, you can take your time and rest for today.」

「Okay, then See you tomorrow」

「Aidle, are you going to fight the dragon?」

「That seems to be the case this time」

「Is it okay for me to follow?」

「Probably Impossible this time」

I will donate the materials of the Dragon to the town this time. That is how they want it so I can’t really complain. I will give up on taming it this time so I’ll just wait for the next opportunity.

「Well if I defeat the dragon, we will have a picnic on that hill after, the view will probably be good」

「Unn!!~」
