If you train Lv1 Magic Arrow to Lv999 - exiled aristocratic students, train without giving up hope to reach the strongest

- Give it to me!

The moment I heard the mayor's relentless voice, the woman screamed.

"Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no! Thanks for saving me! No more, I don't feel that way -"

A woman crouched with her ears blocked.

I gave up once. I was prepared to give my life for the village.

But thank God.

Because of your help - I guess the word now tightened her chest.

- You don't have to die. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I remember her joyful voice.

I'm the one who helped. I'm the one who told her I didn't have to die when I decided to.

If so, I can't abandon her.

"... could you wait"

"I'm sorry, but let's not talk about anything else.... because this is a village problem"

"Doesn't work either."

I pointed to the sky.

"The rain stopped. So that's not a problem?

"I would have told you. Rain is just a precursor - and I don't know how you stopped it, but I'll get out again. That was caused by the force that loosened the seal of the Nine-headed Dragon and leaked out. Close the seal and repeat."

"What are those nine-headed dragons and what are they?

The mayor of Omura shook his head left and right.

"Go home. I'm not talking about how you can do this to something else!

"I'm sorry - it's not something else."

Apparently, this Great Village Chief is unwilling to talk. Then this one will only go out by hard means.

I raised my crest plate high and shouted out loud.

"My name is Alberto Luminous! He's from the Luminous family who rule this realm!

――

The yarn-like eyes of the Great Mayor were wide open, not knowing if they were closed or open.

The villagers are also stifling their bodies.

I didn't really want to reveal my identity because I knew how to react like this...

The mayor of Omura told me to tremble my lips.

"Is that your thing?!?

"That's right.... Do we need to trick the Marquis into doing this in the first place?

The mayor of Omura nodded after a few thoughts.

"... ok. I believe...... to my house. Let's talk about the legend of the Hydragon."

Then I call out to the woman who keeps crying.

"... rest a little. Somebody give him a hand."

The woman went home with a motherly human hand.

Laura and I are moving to the Mayor's house.

"I'm sorry... it's not a very Marquis place to go."

"... I don't mind. I don't care, so talk to me."

When he sat face to face with us, the mayor of Omura started talking.

"It is an evil dragon sealed a long time ago, far from the Nine-headed Dragon"

Ancient Evil Dragon......

"A nine-headed dragon is a very huge dragon, whose body, according to legend, extends all the way to that lake, and its height is like a mountain. It has nine necks, as the name suggests -- and terribly, it can't even get close enough to sprinkle intense poison around it."

... That's a hell of a one...

Is that sealed in that lake...?

"Poison fog that just comes close to endless endurance and dies. The land was devastated by the riots of the Nine-headed Dragon. And there appeared a magician."

"A certain sorcerer? What's your name?"

The elder shook his head at my question.

"Unfortunately, I don't know. The sorcerer sealed the lives of a hundred women at a price, and he used magic to seal the Nine-headed Dragon in that lake."

Laura frowns and vomits her words.

"A hundred people's, lives - how sad..."

"I had no choice. If we didn't contain the Hydragon, we would have lost more lives..."

The Great Village Chief exhales loudly.

"Here's what the magician said. 'This seal is only a temporary occurrence. To maintain the seal, sink the young woman's life into the lake. If it rains long enough, think of it as a signal." - That's what this village is all about. "

The village chief says with a distant eye.

"Then every ten years, we dedicate the village woman to maintaining the seal of the Nine-headed Dragon."

... That's what I'm saying...

It's a story I have no idea.

"... you didn't tell the Marquis?

"It has been a long tradition since this kingdom was founded. In the first place - this kind of inheritance, you won't believe it. … it is a disgrace to the village…"

The mayor of Omura said in a spicy voice.

Earlier, the mayor of Omura said, "Give me your sacrifice! I insisted," but I'm sure that's just what the position made me say. I guess it's not true......

Laura opened her mouth.

"... Um, excuse me. I'm just curious."

"What is it?

"You said earlier," Once every ten years, "right?

"... um"

"But you said 'every two years' that you were talking about a woman earlier. What does this mean?

"That's right...... once every ten years. Talk about the first time. Once every two years, that's what we're talking about."

"... what do you mean?

"I dedicate myself more and more - it's getting shorter until the next long rain, so..."

"What's that?

The Great Mayor nodded at Laura's words.

"The sorcerer said." It's a shame, "he said. As the word goes, perhaps -"

The mayor of Omura continued, spilling a heavy exhalation.

"The seal of the Nine-headed Dragon itself is about to be lifted."
