Chapter 301 (2/2)
“Well, it’s not like we defeated it… miving him a look that asked him to do it but not say too much
“… I’ll start froon with Kehma’s secret on anyon? Haha, great joke, Gozoh”
“It’s the truth I saw the dragon boith ht, Wataru?”
“Man, Kehma-san did basically all of it this time! He and Kuro-chan took it on theet that that was in the ‘toopart’s a reement”
“HEEEEY! OUR VILLAGE CHIEF’S A DRAGON TAMER!!”
“Seriously!? That’s WAY cooler than a dragon slayer! I’ot justice for h!? Hey!”
Like that, the on quickly spread throughout the village
Why though? I’d even tried pushi+ng it all off onto Wataru…
“Hey guys… don’t press all your achieveht?”
“To be witnesses yeah? And I didn’t say anything about Sala There’s nothing for us to press onto you, everything was your doing”
“Co over my troubles a splendid achievement?”
“That could not be called an achieveh to allow you to becouild people know abouttwo ranks
So this means there’ll be a chance for those ranks to be equal… yeah, it’s likely
Ugugugu, but wouldn’t that make me be B-Rank on the surface as well? B-Ranks are basically aristocrats Aristocrats are troublesome Yeah
“No way, I still haven’t even done the advancement from D-Rank”
“No, Kehma I know you really don’t want to work, but this matter could eventhat we didn’t do anything”
“Yeah… If we told the whole truth, you going straight to A-Rank wouldn’t be a stretch, Kehma-san”
“Wait What’s that now? Why?”
“Dragon subjugation is a great accomplishment that would normally require several B-Rank parties to accomplish withit would h IS-Rank ca, I didn’t help at all Even then, Kehma-san, you really just did it with your own party—a party of just you two—and challenged the dragon Uninjured And you even ed to make it docile… that’s already A-RankInhuman, no, S-RankSuperhuman Get it now?”
Now that he put it like that, I started to understand the significance of what just happened
I think I was undervaluing the existences known as dragons too on I’d met and knoas Redra, one that was casually lovey-dovey with Ontentoo… I’d fought
her in that Dungeon Battle back then, but I probably just couldn’t understand how much of a threat she really was
No, I still don’t understand It’s the sa, the one at the suet toward theerous huh’…
“I mean, Kehma-san, even if we obscure your achievement as much as possible, your plan on with no casualties That’s iht… this world has lie detectingif they ask to deeply, huh
“… Eeh, dragon subjugation… I mean, h to tell you that’s iet out uninjured, alright? I’d have to preparethat would take even recovery ic two or three days to bounce back from”
Seriously? B-Ranks are unexpectedly weak… or ?
“Well, you’re definitely B-Rank now at least Congratulations”
“I want to decline it though?”
“That uild I don’t reco and just be an ordinary village chief or a Beddhist father”
“Either way, I’m pretty sure that Haku-sama will summon you to elevate your rank You’d be sentenced to death if you refused, probably”
Ah… I’ll do it if it’s Haku-san I’d have to No lese majeste for me! Because it’s Haku-san Because… it’s Haku-san!
“Well, organization heads’ authority is far reaching, so there’s not much trouble you’d have to deal with Oh, how about we head to the capital together? I’ll drop h another route And no way I’ive you the friend bonus, you’d only have to pay for food and transportation!”
… In that case, maybe I could ask him to?
I’ve never been to the iood opportunity if I have a hero escorting me I don’t even know the normal route there, after all
“Well… sure, why not If that’s all, let’s do it”
“Yes! I’o prepare for the trip now then! Oh, Kehht? How much of it’s open? You should put tons of water and food into it”
Unexpectedly happy about it, Wataru spoke… Actually, I guess he’s always like that
Later that day, the successful dragon subjugation party engorged theon Slayer]
Haha, nah, it’s just norive it any name like that! And it doesn’t kill anyway!
