Book 9: Chapter 24: City of Gareth
Ryuushin was there in his dragon form when we went to slay the Evil Dragon.
He told us that he already defeated the Evil Dragon, so Seira and I went back with Lawrence, the person who brought the commission notice for the subjugation of the Evil God, without doing anything.
Halt-dono, is it really okay to trust that black dragon?
Lawrence asked while we were on our way back.
I think its probably fine. I didnt sense any malice from that Kokuryuu, and the girl was even trying to protect that dragon.
Ryuushin seemed to get along with a girl in no time.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
Was it because shes the sacrifice, and he saved her from death, so they became friends?
She was unfazed in front of my power and even tried to protect him, so I guess she mustve adored Ryuushin a lot.
Well, I just released a spell that would make Ryuushin come back to his senses, so it wouldnt kill him even if it had hit him. Besides, the holy attribute magic wont injure humans even if it touched them.
There would have been no problem even if the girl was hit.
Well, in any case, Im quite relieved that Ryuushin didnt attack and force that girl.
I was also uneasy at the thought of seriously taking on Ryuushin, given that hes become my younger brother-in-law.
By the way, I decided to pay the commission fee that the villages owe for requesting help from the Adventurers Guild.
I was bothered why Ryuushin was in his dragon form so I did a bit of mind-reading, and found out that he was trying to intimidate the subjugation team so that they could jump the bill.
I didnt condone that idea of his, but since he was trying to protect the girl, I decided to just let it slide and do something about the deposit of the request fee.
Seira and I didnt even do anything, in the first place, so I think its fair that to cover the cost of Guild Master Lawrences preparations to defeat the Evil Dragon.
It wasnt even much.
Lawrence the Guild Master and I had also become acquainted, and thatll be a plus when I create a clan in the future.
By the way, Sir Lawrence, have you always lived in the city of Gareth?
Afterward, Lawrence led us into Gareth.
And there
T-This is
How is it? Isnt it such a masterpiece? This is the statue of the Guardian Hero, the person who protected this city and the entire world!
A colossal statue was enshrined in the central plaza of the city.
The Guardian Heros statue in short, its my statue.
I feel like they beautified it too much.
Even I thought it was handsome for a while there.
It was attracting a lot of attention, especially since its right in the middle of the city.
Honestly, its quite embarrassing.
Halt-sama, can we also have this in the Holy City of Sanctum?
Seira quietly muttered.
Please, dont even think about it.
Seira knew that I was the Guardian Hero.
In the first place, the Holy City was dedicated to the Creation God, so it would be really shameless if theyre going to put a statue of me in that place.
By the way, you can also buy a miniature version of this statue at the souvenir shops around here. Its one of the specialties of Gareth.
Rocks suitable for sculpting could readily be found in this region, so theres a lot of products made out of them.
It seemed that the most popular among them were the statue of the Guardian Hero.
Seiras face lightened up when she heard what Lawrence said.
Seira, dont tell me youre planning to buy one, huh?
