Chapter 08 : Dragon Scale and Simple Training
My name is John.
The talented butler who serving
Viscount Grimoire-sama.
Today, I came to the adventurer guild
again to find out the mysterious adventurer who defeated the dragon.
It’s time for my Lord Viscount
Grimoire-sama to return from the auction held in the capital.
Therefore, it would be very bad if I
didn't look for adventurers until then.
No, I am a competent person and very
necessary for the Viscount family.
The extent to which Lord's impression
will be a little worse.
Is that true?
However, my pride will not allow
further delay.
After arriving at the guild, I went
straight to the receptionist.
Initially, if you used the Viscount
surname it would be easy to call ordinary people, but it was difficult to do so
because of the rejection of the dinner invitation earlier.
Basically the adventurer guild was
friendly to the Lord.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for
adventurers to get along in the area.
So, when requested by the Lord, the
guild acts as an intermediary and notifies the adventurer of this invitation.
However, if the adventurer refused
the nobleman's invitation, the guild would stop mediating the adventurer from
the next time.
Of course, information disclosure
too.
This is for organizations to protect
the existence of unique adventurer powers.
As said, adventurers must be free.
Therefore, I cannot give up on the power
of violence.
Although it is not strange to say
that they are accused of making mistakes, it is said that the first guild
master was an adventurer guild, who said that it was an extraordinary thing to
protect people from the global catastrophe that had happened.
With such a background, each country
has given the adventurer the right to refuse unreasonable orders from the state
and to protect the adventurer.
In other words, because you cannot
summon using the power of the nobles, you must go and made a negotiation directly
with you.
That's quite troublesome.
I went to the receptionist as usual
and asked if the adventurers of the case were there.
"Welcome to the adventurer guild,
John-sama."
"Good greeting, do the
adventurers of that case exist?"
The receptionist was Elma, a
beautiful woman who seemed to be incompatible with the wild adventurer guild.
She is in charge of this since I
asked the adventurer.
"Yes, this is the right time. He
just arrived a while ago."
Oh, finally I can meet the adventurer
who defeated the dragon!
Gosh, how many times have I set my step
here?
I turned my gaze to the lobby to find
out who the dragon slayer was.
And I realized that there was a big
crowd inside.
"As for him, he just received a
quest ..."
"No problem, I understand."
That's right, there was a dragon
slayer in the crowd.
"Ah, please wait, John-sama!"
I immediately began to act.
What kind of person actually who kill
the dragon?
Is he a warrior, a magician, what is
his adventurer job?
Various questions popped into my
head.
The guild did not answer the answer
to this question after being rejected for any reason.
Because of that, even if the rumored
dragon slayer becomes a revered figure, I can feel happy without worry.
"Excuse me."
Penetrating the crowd, I head toward
the middle.
And I see it.
The figure of a man dressed in
sparkling pale green armor.
I'm sure, this person is a rumored
dragon slayer.
"What’s with this sparkle, this
is no ordinary armor."
Apparently, the dragon slayer- dono
was showing off his beautiful armor.
It seems like his personality is very
surprising.
It's true, it's not ordinary armor.
I'm not an adventurer, but I can see sparkles that attract attention.
"Sorry, may I interrupt?"
"Oh? Who are you?"
The dragon slayer who saw the
conversation was interrupted looked angrily.
This sight can't be trusted, I can
see it being raised in a bad way.
However, human strength did not all
grow up, because in reality this man had defeated the dragon.
"Excuse me. I'm a member of
Viscount Grimoire-sama, who manages this city, my name is John."
"Viscount Grimoire!?"
Not only the dragon slayer-dono, but
also the surrounding adventurers were shocked.
No wonder they were surprised. That
was because the nobles did not call adventurers in the usual way.
"If you can, can you tell me
your name?"
"M-Me!?"
"Yes."
"I'm Aug ... Aug. So why a noble......?"
The dragon slayer-dono, no, it’s
Aug-dono who asked why I spoke.
His words sounded harsh, but there
seemed to be respect for the nobles as long as they adjusted their pitch
throughout the conversation.
"Actually, I'm looking for an
adventurer who meets certain conditions from Viscount Grimoire-sama."
"An adventurer who meets certain
conditions?"
"Yes, for example, talented
people who can wear such beautiful armor."
"Armor?"
Aug-dono stared at his armor.
"That armor, I see it's a pretty
big armor. Even ordinary people like me can see it as a pretty big item."
That's my true feeling.
I don't understand the good or bad of
weapons and armor, but because I am trusted to manage Viscount Grimoire-sama's
artwork, I have certain beliefs in aesthetic eyes.
My eyes say that the armor was made
by top craftsmen.
"Fuu, do you understand? This is
a special armor made by Master Craftman Gordoff."
Gordoff!? I've heard of it. It was an
armor craftsman from my territory who was said to compete with neighboring
countries.
Of course, Viscount Grimoire-sama
also has Gordoff's sword.
It is a work of art, decorated with
beautiful and charming decoration and art.
But that's why Gordoff's armor is
quite expensive for ordinary people.
Because he can buy it, this man still
has good abilities as an adventurer.
"That's not all. This is
something made using dragon scales!"
"Dragon scales!?"
So that’s how it is!
The dragon material had just been
prepared to be auctioned in the capital and it was too fast to flow in general.
If so, the only route you can get is
to hunt for dragons yourself!
"I never thought you had dragon
scales... Where did you get them?"
Alright, how do you answer it? Aug,
no, dragon slayer-dono?
"Eh, ah, no, that's... I, I
happened to get it while on an adventuring. Well, I was lucky."
That's a pretty complicated reason.
But there is no doubt that this
person is the dragon slayer.
It seems like you might not want
anyone to realize your identity for some reason.
I heard that many adventurers want to
hide their identities.
If you can examine the surrounding
area properly, it will be a means to control this man.
"I see. But if you are able to
get such extraordinary items, it turns out you're really a first-class
adventurer."
I indirectly told him that he was the
one who defeated the dragon.
"Hm, I-I guess."
Confess! I knew this man was the
dragon killer.
"How, why don't you go see my
Lord? My Lord is looking for an armed army. If you want, you can also be a
knight."
"Knight!? Me!?"
Aug-dono rang his throat.
Even though he is an adventurer who
wants to hide his identity, he still has ambitions to look for a career.
"Ah, but I don't want to stand
out too much..."
Fumu, this means it can be concluded
that he declined the invitation from Viscount Grimoire-sama huh.
"Don't worry. If you want, I'll
give you a lot of flexibility. No need to answer hastily. Why don't you eat
with our Lord once?"
With a little hint to be assigned to
an invisible department, I suggested meeting with Grimoire-sama's Viscount by
eating.
"Eat, huh?"
"Yes, let's prepare lots of
delicious ingredients."
"Eat, if that's the case..."
Yosh, the appointment has been
attached.
The rest is to attach a promise to
become a follower of Grimoire-sama's Viscount between meals.
There are many ways to bring a man
who only has weapons.
"All right, if you're ready,
I'll come back later, so I'll excuse myself now."
"Y-Yes."
Fumu, I somehow managed to make an
appointment with the dragon slayer-dono before Viscount Grimoire-sama returned.
With this, the Viscount Grimoire’s territory
is safe now.
◆
When a noble official who spoke with
Aug-san returned, the noise returned to the already calm guild.
Everyone gulped and listened to
Aug-san's conversation.
But as I thought, Aug-san is a great
person.
There are only A-Class adventurers
who can be recruited by the Knights of Lords!
"Tsk, how dare you talk to
someone like that after skipping Aniki, that uncle doesn't have eyes to
see."
This is Gyro-kun who was thrown by
frustration.
"If you say something like that,
it's useless. Because Aug-san was recruited as a Knights of Lords because of
his ability."
"What are you saying, Aniki. He
was recruited only because he was wearing armor made from dragon scales. He is
not at all a great person."
"That's absolutely not true.
That person recruited Aug-san because of his abilities. That armor is just a
coincidence."
Because the dragon scales I gave to
Aug-san are green dragon scales. Nobody thought that the armor was using that
kind of material.
Besides that, I made that armor as a
training medium for the technique of mixing iron and dragon material as I
taught Gordoff-san.
Aug-san also offered me the dragon
scales I gave, because he could only get armor from the scales made by
Goldoff-san.
So the dragon scales are just a
prototype used as Gordoff-san's training.
Who would have thought that men
wearing armor like that were amazing?
"How to say it… Aniki is so
boring that I'm afraid I'm not misunderstanding."
"There is no such thing. More
importantly, today you practice swords right? For that reason we will now take
the quest for subjugation."
"That's right! Today is the day
for Aniki to teach me the sword!"
"Right, if you train well, you
might be able to become a knight like Aug-san!"
"... That's not convincing, is
it?"
Hm? If it's Gyro-kun, I think if you
try hard you can become a knight.
◆
"Then, let's start around
here."
This is the plain near the forest
that we encountered before. I brought Gyro-kun and the others from Team Dragon
Slayer to this place.
"So, what are we going to do!?
Swinging !? Or maybe a secret instruction!?"
"You fool, a less intelligent
person like you can't possibly be taught secret instructions."
"What-!?"
I started to explain, and immediately
interrupted by Gyro-kun and Mina-san who started fighting.
"The first thing taught is from
basic magic, an easy physical strengthening magic."
Yes, physical reinforcement is one of
the basics for a warrior.
"Physical reinforcement magic?
But I can't use magic!"
Gyro-kun said he couldn't use magic
because he was a warrior.
There are many things taught for
beginners, but first I need to correct this error.
"Just because you're a warrior,
doesn't mean you can't use magic."
I will explain to Gyro-kun while
showing an example.
"There’s always magic power in a
human body. And even though there is a difference in the amount of magic power
depending on the person, there is no human without magic power at all."
I concentrated magic in my right
hand.
"Now I'm concentrating magic in
my right hand. Everyone, look."
Then I slowly touched the ground with
my right hand.
*Boomm!!*
The ground exploded with the sound,
and a 5 m wide crater was formed.
"This is the basis of physical
strengthening magic. This is a technique that is useful not only for warriors,
but also for magicians and priests, because all the power related to the body,
such as strength, agility, defense, etc., can be strengthened if you apply this
magic to your body."
And, after a brief explanation, I
turned to Gyro-kun and the others.
"See? It's easy, right?"
"""" No, no, no,
no. """"
Strangely, for some reason I was
rejected with all might.
