Part 3

Soon after, Fort Port came into view.

Incidentally, the sky was purple here, too.

From the looks of it, the whole worlds sky might be tinted purple.

As I was thinking about that, Iris said.

Where are we going to get off?

In front of the Adventurers Guild would be fine. Ill deactivate the Divine Speed Blessing EX there.

I understand.

Iris nodded in agreement.

We then landed on the ground in front of the Adventurers Guild in Fort Port.

The people around us seemed to have stopped moving altogether while we were flying.

In fact, its the opposite; were just decelerating.

When I deactivate the Divine Speed Blessing EX, the people around us begin to move normally.

Some of them were surprised by our sudden appearance, but we didnt care, and we entered the Adventurers Guild building.

It was now late afternoon, the time when adventurers would normally be out on their quests.

Despite this, many adventurers were gathered in the lobby.

When they looked at me, they tilted their heads and opened their mouths.

That was the Dragon Slayer, wasnt it? Didnt he go to the royal capital?

Maybe he came back after seeing that sky?

What do you think? Should we go ask him?

Such conversations were overheard.

I dont mind explaining to everyone, but first, I should talk to the person in charge herethe Guild branch manager.

The Fort Port branch manager was Jess-san, wasnt he?

He was a man with silver-rimmed glasses and the air of a go-getter man.

I walked through the middle of the lobby and headed for the reception desk in the back.

The receptionist was the woman I had rescued from the pirate Zeed before.

Oh, Kou-san! Its been a while. How can I help you?

I need to talk to the branch manager Jess. Im sorry to interrupt, but could you call him for me?

I said and then pointed straight up.

I need to talk to him about the sky.

Do you know why the sky is purple?

Yes. I just dont know how much to explain to everyone. And I need some help in solving the problem.

I understand. Kou-san is a great benefactor who has saved Fort Port twice. I will definitely intercede even if the branch manager Jess doesnt like it. Please wait for me!

The female staff member stood up vigorously from her seat after saying that and left the counter, and ran upstairs.

Shes very motivated.

Iris says with a wry smile.

I wonder if its because of Kous popularity.

I dont think so. But its nice to hear that.

Nevertheless, he continued.

If its so easy to come to Fort Port, its probably a good idea to go to the casino with everyone else.

Certainly, Lily was very interested in the casino.

And theres a bar with a view of the ocean.

We went there before, werent we?

That bar had a nice, quiet atmosphere. Id like to go there again.

Yeah, we should go there again.

That was a lot of excitement.

Iris shrugged her shoulders.

It looked like they were about to start throwing a big party.

It sure was. Well, lets move on.

I then activated Space-Time Domination again.

Then, I activated Divine Speed Blessing EX and flew with Iris to Surier.

Come to think of it; Im not acquainted with the branch manager of Surier.

I wonder if the lord, Count Maillard, is still in town.

First, I went down near the mansion and deactivated Divine Speed Blessing EX.

Then I went to the gate and asked the knight standing guard if Count Maillard was present, to which I received this answer.

Yes. The Count is still staying at the mansion. He will be very happy to hear that the Dragon Slayer is here. Please wait a moment. I will inform him.

The knight said that and headed toward the mansion.

Its a similar story to the one before, isnt it?

Iris said with a chuckle.

But Im glad to hear things are moving so quickly.

Yeah, its a gratifying thing to hear, isnt it? Speaking of Surier, the hot springs?

Id love to go back to the hot springs and take my time.

Yeah. Also, what was the specialty here? I remember we played bingo.

The specialty is hotep. Its a soup dish, and Im sure its flavored differently in different restaurants.

Oh, thats it. I havent tried them all yet, and Id love to go on a food tour.

Also, Id like to go to Cals parents cake shop.

Cal is a D-rank adventurer woman, and I remember her as always being cheerful.

Where is she now?

While I was thinking about that, the knight returned.

The Count is coming to see you. Please come in!

Count Maillard, who had been exhausted by the curse before, had recovered his energy.

His demeanor had become more imposing, giving him the air of a dependable lord.

Oh, Kou-dono! Its been a long time.

It has been a long time, Count.

After we were pleased to see each other again, I explained about the Zogral and asked him to collect some of the peoples most cherished possessions.

Fortunately, Count Maillard immediately agreed.

I understand. When it comes to the crisis of the world, I have no choice but to lend a helping hand. Even in Surier, Kou-donos name is well-known. I am sure the people will be happy to offer their treasured possessions to you.

Thank you very much.

We then left the Counts place and continued towards Toue.

On the way, we saw the New Zard Bridge.

That bridge was rebuilt by Kou, wasnt it?

Oh, it brings back memories.

You really do a lot of things everywhere you go, dont you? You also defeated the Devil Treant in Toue.

Thats when we met Lily, wasnt it?

Yeah. Compared to that time, Lily-chan seems to have brightened up.

Yeah, its a good sign, isnt it?

While talking about this, we arrive at Toue.

As soon as the guild branch manager, Popolo-san, saw us, he shed tears and was happy to see us again and to know that we were safe.

Yes, I understand! One day is enough. Well collect all the treasured possessions from all over town!

Good.

Well then, the next stop is Aunen.
