Chapter 105 I just wanted to say 「 Thank you 」 Part 1 (Patreon)

La Veil ordered the 『 Blue Dragon 』 Lucretze to disperse the remaining adventurers. Lucretze didn't know that she had come here either, so we asked him to tell us the whole story and why we ended up here. Well, we were all wearing hoods, you know. It's no wonder he didn't know about us immediately.

「 Let's see, where shall I start. Ahaha……」

「 Oi, what are you laughing at? You think this is funny?」

「 Hiii!! 」

... I can't believe he’s the same ancient dragon, but I can't talk about that with La Veil here anyway, so I sat Arena on La Veil's lap to soothe her. That should be good.

「 So, what did you want with us? 」

「 I'm talking about the stray backers, of course. If they're all dead, you're all in danger because you acted recklessly and carelessly. I just wanted to confirm and get you people banned from the guild as soon as possible. If you didn't want that to happen, I was going to ask you to hand them over and...... stop any more of this nonsense  」

「 Before we answer that, why did you assault Jess-san?」

「 I was thinking that he may have been involved with the deaths of the children. We have to use some force to get him to talk. Information is also important as life after all 」

「 Even though you’ve never really cared about the children’s lives? 」

「 You didn't kill him out of spite, did you? 」

…… He’s just blatantly dodging the subject of the matter. I think he knows that the Red Dragons brought the children out of the dungeon. The matter with Jess with was only serving as a warning to. To show us that he is a superior in terms of position and power of power.

That’s why Lucretze changes the subject with a triumphant look on his face.

「 I was surprised, though. I never thought I'd see a violent dragon working with a weakling. How did you manage to tame it? 」

「 I simply beat her, that’s all 」

Lucretze claps his hands and starts laughing. Lucretze who begins clapping continued so, as if he heard an incredibly funny joke.

「 Hahaha, this is amazing! You even started to lie. I think you're leaning towards the way I am now, aren't you? I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with humans. 」

「 The one you are talking to is not a human though neither is everyone in our group 」

「……what?」

Lucretze stared at me again.

「……Looking at you again, the flow of your magic power is indeed strange……or rather, what is with this ridiculous amount of magic power? What, what is the meaning of this?」

「 Let me tell you something, you fool. That one over there is a monster that can no longer be harmed even if there were hundreds of me against her. Trying to venture into murky waters are you, you might end up falling into an abyss, you know....... And she can easily wipe you out of existence 」

I took advantage of her words towards him and gave Lucretze a bit of a powerful killing intent for a moment. No, I'm not going to kill him, for now.

「 La, La, La Veil. What was that just now, I felt like I being glared at by our parents by several magnitudes……」

「 I’d rather not talk about it. More than that……why don’t we start this conversation once again from the beginning?」

「Yes, I'll talk about anything!!」

Lucretze has been an adventurer in Amone for a few decades, and within a few years he became the head of the guild with a major title in his hands. From then on, they tried to induce various people to have many children.

But there is no place to raise children in this city, and most of them are abandoned. Lucretze had an adventurer told him about the children living in this city and that they would not be able to survive in this situation, and followed with.

「 They can live as stray baggers. That way, adventurers will be able to hire them 」.

In fact, for many years Amone was in a shortage of baggers and carriers. That's why he told them that because they were children, they can’t become adventurers just yet, but they could take them in as a bagger.

「 That's what I got the guy there to tell them. He'd been worried about the kids since then, it seemed. 」

It was Jess who he pointed at. I see, that's why he said it like that and walked away. Because he felt guilty that he let something like that happen.

And so began the hell of earning the children's daily bread. Sure, there weren't enough backers, but still the adventurers thought that it was better for them to do it themselves than relying on the kids. However, the Guild Master also promoted this, saying that 「 They could be hired every once in a while 」 so the adventurers hesitantly agreed to it.

It's a life-threatening job. Protecting a child in a dungeon is quite difficult. And if you let them die, you'll feel guilty. That's what Lucretze did anyway without much concern about it.

「 『 Stray Baggers are equipment. They're just forsaken children, and if they're no use for them to be alive, we'll use them ourselves to make their life at least worth living.』. It is what I suggested, and the rest is as you see. It was fun to see their negative cycle slowly spiraling until their minds got corrupted. 」

I look at the trash with a cold stare as La Veil spits at him with ridicule.

「 Master, as you can see, this is this one’s true nature, that’s why he wants to be in the human world. This is why grandfather asked me to bring him back, kill him if needed. He told to not leave a trash of a monster who is not even considered as an ancient dragon anymore. 」

This was the first time he had heard of this fact, and Lucretze began to shake again, looking pale. Well, it seems that there are countless charges against you. Or perhaps you'll do anything as long as it gives you pleasure.

「 Are you sure about this? This is a human world. I'm the guild master here, and if you kill me, you'll be in serious trouble as adventurers. You're living in the human world now, aren't you? Come on, you can say something, too. 」

I'm sorry to say, but I'm not going to let you get away with it.

「 It's true that the death of the guild leader would be a problem for the adventurer's guild. But that's only if you're still the guild leader. 」

「 Hey, hey, hey, I'm the guild leader of this city, right? 」

「 Then let's check with the person in that mirror then 」

「……eh?」

I had only seen that magic tool once before. Something that only Guild Masters have the authority to use, a 『 Communication Mirror 』. From the moment I entered this room, I had activated it with fairy magic. I had it muffled and disguised, so it wouldn't have looked like it was active.

And the channel we tuned into.

『 Ou. I've heard all of it, r. Guildmaster of Amone-san 』

It was Haval’s guild master's office.

「 Long time no see, Drew-san. That's what I'm talking about. Please report back.」

『 I'll take care of it. I'll make sure to tell HQ. Amone's guild leader is a child predator and a trash who has no place in an adventurer's life. But it seems like you are still the same, just like the time you got involved with Haval and the Royal Capital 』

「 Aren’t you always happy to see me.」

『 Shut it!!…… Haaah, can’t you get a grip? Nah, it’s you after all 』

Then the communication was cut off. I turned to Lucretze with a refreshed look on my face.

「 Okay, what was that again, guild master? 」

I no longer need to hold back. I took out my holy sword and activated it with all my might, and Lucretze looked horrified.

「 Ha, how are you able to use a Holy Sword, you are not Human!!??」

「 Don't worry, the other one is a normal human, you see. Isn't that right, Mika? 」

「 Yup, holy sword activate!」

「 Haah, there’s two!!? Damn!!」

Perhaps thinking that we would cut him down, Lucretze acted quickly. He threw himself out the window of the room and immediately transformed into his true form. It was a Blue Dragon with indigo scales glittered as it took flight into the sky.

The adventurers and merchants were astonished, but Lucretze didn't care and ran away as fast as he could, his face serious because he knew well the persistence of La Veil and the fear of fighting against a hero.

La Veil tilts her head and looks at me then asked me a question.

「 Are you not going after him?」

「 Nah, we don’t need to chase after hit. Because 」

A sound of something exploding was heard from the roof. After a few minutes, a fairy came into the room and humanized into an old gentleman.

「 Welcome back Quad 」

「 I’m back. By the way, Aidle-sama, I dealt with a rare species of dragon that suddenly appeared when I was on my way back, and I took the jewel from its body by hardening it with fairy magic. What would you like me to do with it? 」

A nice middle-aged gentleman, Quad, showing off the jewel with a nice smile. He was probably thinking that it's just a monster that was a little stronger than the usual. I feel sorry for the dragon who ended up in this pathetic state.

「 thank you Quad. I’ll take care of that. 」

「 Okay, here 」

「 What about the body?」

「 The effect of the fairy magic I used turned him into water, and was dispersed. 」

Eh, what kind of image did he use......

The jewel was placed in a small bottle. This was also made very strong with fairy magic, so it would not break easily. Then I threaded a string through the vial. Fill the vial with water, mixed it super-dense magic power into the water, and cover it with a lid. ...... Okay, I guess he won't die with this.

「 La Veil, I'll leave this to you 」

「 Yes, I’ll handle it 」

La Veil took it with a wicked grin on her face, and judging by the way Arena went to be carried on Quad's shoulders, she thought it was a fair punishment.

「 Can I borrow your ear for a moment? 」

「 Yes, yes...... Hmm. Okay, thanks.」

「 No, no, It's but a small price to pay 」

Well, it's all been a bit of a prelude so far. Let's get to the original objective, shall we? I slap Jess on the cheek and wake him up.
