The Lazy Dragon is Working Hard 009 (1/2)

My name is Ars Funnel.

I am the son of a humble farmer. However the Demon Army is on a rampage. It is not my problem since I’m just a rural farmer.

However, one morning, on my forehead, an insignia of a Dragon appeared.

When I show it to Dad and Mom, they interrogated me and took me to the mayor’s house.

“This is.. The brave emblem.. The Hero sign!! ”

The mayor spoke in an exaggerated manner, some spit was sprinkled and he held my head until it was going to explode.

What? Hero? I’m just a child of poor farmer. Mom and Dad isn’t special. How can I be the hero?

”It is a sign of blessing from one of the Seven Guardian G.o.d. This is the insignia of Guardian Dragon G.o.d. How can a playboy, lazy, a good for nothing young lad be chosen? ”

It was an overstatement. I am a hard worker. watching the cloud, plowing the field. Altough my friend considered me as a ” useless human being”, I retaliate with a pitch fork.

Suddenly, a childhood friend of mine, Pigna came and closed her mouth with her trembling hands.

“It’s a lie.. Ars is the hero? It’s an absolute lie.. ”

She was even crying because of the shock. Am I really not qualified to be a hero?

When I looked back, Knights in s.h.i.+ny armor and several guards came inside.

”Is it the King's guards? Welcome to our village. I’m the mayor. ”

The mayor approached  the knight and shook his hand. He even rubbed his hand afterwards like a suspicious uncle trying to haggle. like a poisonous snake trying to kill you.

”The youth there is really the hero? ”

”Yes, there is no mistake. ”

”Alright, you need to come with us. ”

”Of course. It's finally pleasing to see the good for nothing lad leave the  village. Just take him as soon as possible. ”

The mayor gave an unusual good smile.

”So, Ars the hero. Please come with us. ”

”Eh. Eh. Wait… ”

I was dragged in both sides by two guards and was thrown into a luxurious carriage.

Dad and Mom showed a refres.h.i.+ng smile. The onlookers didn’t lose in terms of satisfaction. Why did I feel like a slave being sold l. The village grew smaller as I moved farther. Only Pigna was crying and chasing after the carriage.

Is it an abduction? I do nothing except to sleep.

When I woke up, I could see the royal capital. The carriage then drive to the royal palace.
