Chapter 43 (1/2)

After a Different World Transition, I Founded a Nation in a Week

In the Grado Village, which is derided as the farthest village, the village chief Denma was groaning with a difficult face.

「It has been difficult for me…」

Denma is talking to himself about the parchment that is laying on a shabby table.

The incident that happened on the village the other day was listed in a bullet form.

While Denma was troubled, a sound of knocking sounded from the door of his house.

「Who is it?」

Denma murmured so while he let his irritation showed in his mouth. He went to the door.

When he opened the door, the mage girl Sherry was there.

Sherry greeted Denma and lowered her head.

「Hnn? What's wrong, Sherry?」

「Yes. My mother's condition has improved so father seems to want to serve Ren-sama when he returned.」

「Hey!! You dare to call apostle-sama's name…! 」

When Sherry says Ren's name, Denma was dismayed and blocked Sherry's  mouth with his hand.

Sherry, who suddenly got her mouth blocked, rolled her eyes in bewilderment. She immediately shaken off Denma's hand and sharpen her eyes.

「What are you doing? Even if he's an apostle-sama, didn't apostle-sama introduced himself as Ren-sama? 」

「Don't be stupid! Apostle-sama said that because he has a big heart. He had given his name to me. Perhaps I'm the only one who heard his name. 」

Denma proudly said so to the angry Sherry.

There, a voice other the the two have interrupted.

「What are you doing, Sherry? Didn't I tell you to come back quickly?」

「Father, it's not my fault. The village chief has said so many things.」

Sherry looked back at the source of the voice while being sulky. Sherry's father was there, Dan.

Dan looked at Denma with an uninterested face and rang his nose.

「That's why I told you to quickly return. The village chief speaks in a long manner.」

「W-What are you saying? In the first place, it's because of you that Sherry thinks lightly of apostle-sama…」

As Denma complained, Dan sighed and looked at the table behind Denma.

「Although you tried to make a profit by making a book about apostle-sama.」

「No, it's different! The mission of Grado Village is to pa.s.s on the feat of apostle-sama as a new myth! Don't talk like that's what I've decided to do!」

Denma, who reacted excessively to Dan’s word, countered loudly. Dan looks at Denma with half-eyes and shrugs his shoulders.

「Is there a meaning to spread something like a girl's gossip? Roughly speaking, that's a way of making money out of apostle-sama.」

「Don't a.s.sume that I want to make money! What a rude fellow. In this time, the world will be full of hope if an apostle-sama appears. This is a good deed that apostle-sama would desire.」

「Who will find hope in a hero's tale that came from such a limp village?」

「E-ei! Get out of here brat!」

Dan scoffed off all of Denma's lines. Denma's face reddened and stomped his foot on the ground due to frustration.

At that time, a loud voice went up somewhere in the village.

「Dr-dragon! It's a dragon!」

「What!?」

Reacting sensitively to the cries of the villagers, Denma ran outside, and Dan and Sherry, who saw it, followed the village chief.

Looking at it, everyone in the village looks up in the same direction uniformly, pointing and screaming.

It is the direction of the forest of abyss.

「Dragon…no way, to see one alive.」

「Is it really a dragon? Hey, village chief! Don't be absentminded and tell everyone to evacuate!」

「Lie… that size, about 10 meters.」

The three of them responded to the dragon but only Dan was able to move instantly.
