Chapter 34 (2/2)

To finish off Grade Grande with certainty I had calculated that it would be necessary to accu the Cutter Tornado

Furthermore, if I were to be attacked by a breath attack in themana it would slon the entire process in the end as I would be forced to deploy a ical barrier

In the previous fight with the ancient dragon I had at all tiic airshi+p with a ical barrier That put my mental state considerably at ease, as far as I can remember the situation back then

『2 th so there shouldn’t be any problem Lad, you will stay back and prepare the Cutter Tornado I will challenge Grade Grande to a fight with all ht Burkhart-dono, you will be our reserve combat force and in addition to that I’d like you to supply me with mana in the rare occasion that I should run out at so)

『Please leave it to me』 (Burkhart)

Mana supply is the act of sharing mana with another person which is also the reason for that na

However, there are only few icians who can use this special spell

Well, all me your enerated

In the case of an ordinary ician, they can’t supply100 mana to do so

Thus the conclusion would be that they wouldn’t be too eager to share their own mana they can use with another person and there wouldn’t need to suffer from downtime

However, Burkhart-san is apparently able to supply100 mana

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a rare talent

As one would expect, even master and me weren’t able to attain such level of mana supply

Even so, Burkhart-san’s mana capacity could be called to be on the lower end of the advanced level category

Still, he was able to use spells that other -doushi+, one could only acknowledge his superiority

The high evaluation of his surroundings was that he was a veteran called 『Expert Magician』

『Then it is possible that Burkhart-san will fight as a substitute, isn’t it?』 (Wendelin)

『Even though that ht have been possible in the time of my active duty, noould be impossible for me』 (Burkhart)

It seems that’s the reason why he will only serve as -doushi+

『But, in reality I don’t think it will be necessary to supply mana Thus I will really stay in the rear as reserve』 (Burkhart)

『Because Burkhart-dono will be prepared in the rear, I will be able to act with corresponding co)

Is what Ar-doushi+ says

Challenging a for barely at the last moment

Considering this to be a saga read to children it’s no problem but since this will be an actual battle here which would only drive us to the wall, others would call it a fool’s act

Adding Arether defeated an ancient dragon, should considerably raise the probability of defeating a dragon

In that case, devising a proper strategy should even further increase the certainty

『I think the probability ofit by myself is about 60 But that would be certainly irresponsible in )

Ar talent that appears once every 500 years and thus is very fadom

Moreover, he has a good pedigree

Because he is the second son of an earl household there is only little interference by other nobles due to jealousy

Additionally, the character of the person himself is simple like that; he doesn’t try to amass more private property than is necessary, he isn’t absorbed in eagerly working towards a successful career in his lust for power, and he doesn’t show any movements to form an odd faction

Although he dons a ent and quite capable in politics as well

Going by Erich-nii-san’s explanation, he is the most trusted retainer of His Majesty

At the tiarrison in the outskirts, I was told this inforarrison and after all I was able to reaffir) is an ikemen

It could be called a fact though that we used the occasion to discuss the organisation of the associate Baron Bau to not think about that for the ti

『That’s true If you were to die now, it would be hard on His Majesty』 (Burkhart)

『There is no reason for worry I ah, Burkhart-dono, Lad』 (Ar)

After the above- in front of Grade Grande to face it

Fro-doushi+ rushes towards the Grade Grande before our eyes While setting up his large ith both hands, he shouts only a feords

“Magical Mobile Ar)

Thereupon Ar-doushi+’s entire face section is covered by a jet black full face helmet

Likewise on the wand he was holding the bright red ic crystal couldn’t be seen anye hammer

“Eh!” (Wendelin)

“Maa, the appearance is as you can see” (Burkhart)

While re in the air in the back, I was accu mana for the Cutter Tornado Burkhart-san, as likewise floating in the air besides me, leaked absent-mindedly

“It’s an unique e ical barrier but also boosts the defensive strength overwhel it into a hammer made out of the same material increases its power by leaps” (Burkhart)

Furtherthened to the liic) is the best in the entire kingdom

Simply put, he overwhelms his opponent with combat ability that could be labelled as one hit destroyer while he fights

Ar as he pleases with the helpless Grade Grande, striking its head, its arms and its feet

He was rando out heavy bloith his hae on it

Each time a blow lands, an unpleasant sound bakibaki escaped (T/N: Sound when so)

Because of the overwhele, Grade Grande raised his severe roar towards the sky consecutivelyup the air

“Incredible…” (Wendelin)

“There is stillyet…” (Burkhart)

However, Grade Grande wouldn’t allow to be one-sidedly hit without doing anything either

Grasping the habits in Aran to use it tail to shake off the attacks by predicting the place he would move to

Receiving one of those blows as an ordinary person, there was no doubt that they would end up bursting open like a water balloon

“Look out!” (Wendelin)

“It’s fine” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san really didn’t show any hint of worrying, but practically there was absolutely no reason to worry either

Did he foresee this?

Ar at high speed and finished it by hurling that large build as it is away

“Seriously!” (Wendelin)

“The materialised armor’s purpose is to serve as last defense The reason for that is his favorite est physical ability” (Burkhart)

Furthermore the surprises continued

As the Grade Grande was trying to stand up and recover fro-doushi+ hit its body one after the other indlike snakes

The weakness of the earth systeic

Slowly Grade Grande was covered in wounds all over and began to bleed in several places

“Lad! Are the preparations done?” (Ar)

“Eeto, it’s ready!” (Wendelin)

Although I was unintentionally fascinated by the shocking spectacle in front of et to accumulate the mana

The tihtly passed the 2 athered

After -doushi+ had evacuated the area quickly, I released the Cutter Tornado ic

As the naulfed the first target within a tornado

Continuing the tornado will produce one by one sharp blades as it held the dry wind attribute The target will end up being continuously injured by the blades

Each time its wounds increased, Grade Grande raised a roar As the tornado continued, its color began to tainted in a red color

The streaed into the tornado Gradually that red color thickened

And then, as the red color was thickening, Grade Grande lost the blood from inside its body

“Is it slain? Died due to loosing a huge amount of blood, huh? Very well done, Boy” (Burkhart)

“Is it your )

“He was also a person who nonchalantly had absolutely no mercy for monsters” (Burkhart)

A fewexhausted of alhout the body, Grade Grande collapsed to the ground accoreat tremor

No ht be, if they loose all blood they will end up dying all the same

“As one would expect of a dragon, it didn’t die from the cuts, huh?”

“True that Now then…”

Just because Grade Grande had died, it didn’t mean that it all was finished with this

As I approached the still whirling red tornado, I began to use ic from the water system this time

“What are you doing?” (Burkhart)

“The blood of a dragon is expensive” (Wendelin)

As a ation of the Grade Grande by the kingdom this time

Reason being that it was a noble’s obligation to fight at the front

Because they usually got their profit from the annual pension and their territory, it was inevitable to return those favors with public duty For that reason it often happened that nobles were pillaging the battleground

Even if it is a bad thing to do, the kingdo able to pay the nobles a salary and thus this pillaging was tolerated

Since there was no war foritself didn’t really occur This ti froe in itself as well

Instead, now, after the subjugation of Grade Grande, the soldiers participating in the strategy to exteriven a reward

That was the privilege to collect the raw materials of the monsters they had hunted themselves

The monster’s raw materials are well known to be very expensive

Therefore, the soldiers participating in the reatly looking forward to it

Because the adventurers had this tihting spirit and their competitive awareness had been awoken

As it would get bloody, victi rawthe usual income, would allow them to live in luxury with their families or lover The procured raw uild to produce various goods which they could sell

The kingdom’s tax revenue would rise as well But above that, by liberating the Palkeia Grasslands frorain-producing region

In such situation the developricultural land would advance and thus increase the grain production output even further

Having relied on the rain and herbs in the grasslands ought to multiply

As the food self-sufficiency rate of the royal capital was low, the kingdorain from distant nobles, too If theby the citizens in the neighborhood would becorain would more and more decrease as well

Going by econo the amount of businesses is a cheerful matter

“For that reason I aon blood” (Wendelin)

After gathering the dispersed blood in one place by using water ic within the tornado, I froze it and retrieved the lu

“Boy, that was admirably skilfull” (Burkhart)

“That’s because the ly skillful themselves” (Wendelin)

This can also be called an old man’s wisdom

It had reached the point that I was regularity receiving coaching in Burkhart-san’s s

Even now Burkhart-san e the foundations and power in his coaching asto expressively declare it

So like this I did for myself after all

“All that remains is the corpse of Grade Grande”

Not just the blood, there was no portion of a dragon’s body that couldn’t be processed, thus no matter which part of it, they all sold for a lot of money

Therefore I quickly put away the corpse of Grade Grande in

Since ti, it would be fine to have it butchered at the guild afterwards

As one would expect, forit poorly and wasting ti up lowering its price

I should entrust this to a professional

“A the profit on sales of Grade Grande equally between the three of us, right?” (Wendelin)

“I anificient Just talking about its power, it has already exceeded Alfred’s ” (Ar)

“Yes” (Wendelin)

“Now then, since we have defeated Grade Grande, we should expect the monsters in the vicinity soon to come here Today ill ca the )

“Eh?” (Wendelin)

“What did you just say?” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san and I ended up being astonished by Ar-doushi+’s unexpected statement

The mission this time was for us to defeat Grade Grande and for the adventurers to exterht here, we certainly would be snatching away the military’s and adventurer’s job

“No matter whether we defeated Grade Grande, the ae Consequently, without our help, the number of victile to)

“I a even ordinary monsters…” (Wendelin)

“The first and second ering amount of experience However, since I have already retired from active duty…” (Burkhart)

“With the three of us together it will beco)

In the end, the three of us were rushi+ng around across the Palkenia Grasslands for the length of an entire week afterwards It took all of our energy to hunt the numerous monsters

“Ano, me and the hunted monsters…” (Erwin)

“Erwin-kun, you are Wend’s representative, therefore you are not allowed to to leave the front lines at any time, isn’t that so?” (Ina)

“If you don’t move out, you won’t be able to return Wend’s money” (Louise)

“Since there will be a reward for an excellent representative” (Erich)

“Is it old coin?” (Irna)

“…” (Erich)

“Erich-san! Don’t be silent now!” (Erwin)

In the e to become accustomed to their post as mikoshi+3 within the associate Baron Baumeister household’s troops Everyday they departed while experiencing stomach pains

Translation Notes

1 It isn’t quite clear whether he rave or indirectly in his duty as proxy of the dom and thus as vassal of a vassal so to speak Both lead to the sah, so I chose to word it as I did

2 The author used “ics” but I kind of iic foric describes the effect and not soabout here

3 Their post is 神輿 which is mikoshi+ in romaji Translates to portable shrine … so don’t askI left it out because it sounds odd noadditional infor the mikoshi+ used in the context:

japanese mikoshi+ is a type of activities where a lot of people ( a portable shrine from one sacred location to another for soroup and back group to drag it, and it’s pretty round or for it to be daroup of Wendelin must/should have been/supposed to be situated in the center of their arht for theer nointerlude) But Ina and Luise are full of fighting spirit, so they don’t let Erwin remain behind and continuously advance to the frontlines
