Ten days have passed since the adventurer's guild began culling demons in the clan's area in response to a subjugation request.

"Alan-sama, it feels like the number of demons is decreasing ..."

"Oh, yes. It's obvious that it's diminishing even with the use of detection magic. In our area we don't have to do monster suppression for a while."

Of course, there should be influx of monsters from other clan's area, but since other areas are thinning out, it will not increase immediately and not all clan will go out. If it grows moderately, come back to hunt again.

"I'd like you to cancel this request. I've been checking with the guild every day, but I'm just going to check it anytime. Okay! Wa

"I'm going to accompany you, Alan-sama"

He seems to go out with the guild to complain. After all Walter is a good guy. Of course, since it is not a forced request, you can ignore the request and go hunting for other monsters, but you do not feel refreshed because you seem to be neglected. If there is no danger of stampede, please clarify as soon as possible.

After finishing today's hunt and returning to Gantz, I am waiting for an introductory inspection. There are only adventurers lined up, and no one looks good. Perhaps, as with us, members of the major clans have done the request. In the case of our clan, we use a drone to find out where monsters are located in advance and hunt for some pinpoints, so I think it's much better than those who are hunting in dark clouds.

After completing the introductory inspections, Walter and Walter went to the adventurer's guild, taking care of all the units' magic stones and defeated parts. Upon entering the guild, it was still crowded and there was a queue at the assessment counter. After waiting about fifteen minutes, the assessment was finally completed.

The result of today's battle was the greyhound, twenty-six, oak, five, goblin, twenty-five, for the entire clan, and the guinea that was cashed was 29,600 guinea. This is where the deficit is good.

"Okay, let's go! Walter"

"Yes! Let's say it!"

I went to the guild reception to complain.

"I'm Shining Star Alan,"

"Oh! It's a request! It's finally lifted. The Adventurer's Guild is grateful to the clans for their cooperation.

"... Ah, that's right."

I tried to complain with all my spirits, but I ate my shoulders. Walter and I went silently home.

"Is it Alan!"

I was called by a merchant-like man. The name tag, which is virtually displayed above the head, was displayed as Gerd. I don't know, but knowing Nanom's name is probably one of the many merchants who have been referred to a commercial guild one day.

"Are you sure Gerd?"

"Oh! You remember the name! Yes! Gerd."

"Long time, no see"

"I'll see you again! Why don't you have a drink if you have the time? There is a shop that serves cold ales. Of course, the companions are with me.

It's a cold ale or what I really wanted to drink. He looked at Walter and gave him a look. I guess I'll never refuse if I'm a little

"Then, it's a treat because it's a great deal."

"That's right! The store is right there."

The shop I was introduced to was a neat little bar with merchant-style men sitting around. Probably a bar for merchants. Gerd asked the clerk for ale and knobs for each person, and the ale was immediately delivered.

"I once wanted to talk to Alan slowly. No, I know. I won't take that much time."

"No, sometimes it's fun to talk to merchants."

"Alan, do you know that Shining Stars are becoming so famous now?"

"Well, that's right. Well, maybe because of this badge, some of the clans said they were calling out."

He showed Gerd the clan's badge on his left arm. Some had reported that they had been thanked for defeating bandits.

"No, of course, it's famous in this Ganz, but it's a story that rumors have been passed down to the royal capital."

"Hey, even the royal capital ..."

"Well, it's only natural to tell rumors because it's mainly a merchant. Speaking of which, is it true that you've captured more than a dozen bandits?"

"Yes, there were eleven groups of thieves caught, or two hundred and fifty-one in number?"

"Two hundred and fifteen! No, that's a big deal! Thank you very much."

"No, it was a commercial guild's request."

"Everybody says that the guilds will do a good thing, and that the guild leader Cyrus is very happy."

Indeed, it means that the stock of commercial guilds has risen. We've made money, and we have nothing to say.

After that, while listening to various rumors, he treated himself with two glasses of ale and separated from Gerd.

"I did it! Alan-sama."

"Oh, it was a delicious ale."

"No! It's rumored to be in the royal capital."

"Ah, that's about it. I thought it would be good, but it wouldn't be. Well, I don't know how much rumor it is, but I can't say anything."

"If you think about it, it's a brilliant achievement, so I think it's a very rumor.

I got home while talking to Walter. Well, it's just dinner time when you take a bath.

At the end of the dinner, he approached Dulsim.

"Captain Dalsim, I'd like to meet a bit. Would you like me to gather the leaders in the office?"

"Okay, Alan, uh ... I'm glad you could call me captain, but I'm foolish that this clan already has a captain and isn't worth it."

"Oh, it was bad. I have talked about that too. Let's talk at the meeting."

"OK"

The party members and leaders gathered and started a meeting.

"First of all, the adventurer's guild's request for thinning has been lifted. This means that there was no need to worry about stampede. I hoped that it would be lifted four or five days earlier."

"The number of monsters is decreasing, so it's just fine."

"Well, that's right. One more report. It seems that the rumors of the defeat of the Shining Star bandits have reached the royal capital, but I'm not sure how they got through. I can't say anything.

"Oh!" "Is that a good rumor, of course?"

"Of course, that's right. I heard this story from a merchant, because it's a story that a merchant is spreading rumors. On the main subject, there was information that a set of bandits appeared again. No, but I think it's suspicious that a group of fifteen people camped for two nights in the same place without hunting for monsters. ''

Of course, this is the information that the drone has captured. I watched a video of the group, but it wasn't even an adventurer, and she was ambushed along the highway in the daytime, so it's definitely a bandit. You may also need to be attacked, but you want to keep them.

"Please let us do A Corps," said Serena.

"Okay, let's leave it, it's a night away. Prepare and leave tomorrow. Let's do B hunting for oaks. Attack the oak settlements. You may have a general oak. "

"Oh!"

Thieves without bases will probably have less fruit because they have nothing. Orc hunting may be more profitable.

"Finally, Captain Dalsim. I'd like to appoint my deputy if you can."

"I am Alan's deputy!"

"If I can do that ... but can you ask?"

"Of course, we will accept it! I'll use it anyway!"

"Yeah, good! As everyone knows, Dalsim is a strong man who should be immediately recognized as a captain in any organization. You know, but everyone should listen to Dulsim. I want you to think there is something. ''

Everyone there nodded.

Bad for everyone, my junior commander wants to be Serena anyway. Originally, Dalsim is more experienced and may be suitable for the next seat. However, Dalsim was pleased to be satisfied with his deputy secretary.

"Okay, then, when the seven o'clock bell rings as usual, both A and B depart. Please be ready."

After returning to the room after the meeting, Iris communicated. Probably waiting for him to return to the room.

[It is a regular report about the captain and the dragon]

The other day, I ordered Iris to look for a dragon that appeared in the Kingdom of Cecilio, and Iris found him in about two hours. I saw a video of the dragon's action taken by the drone in a digest version, but there were no signs of danger, and it seemed that she traveled freely without any purpose.

It does not cause any harm when approaching a human town, and it observes from the sky and after a while, gets tired or flies away. Meals also hunt monsters and big bores, and do not attack humans so far. It should be easier to hit humans, but not. Is there any idea of a dragon? It looked like a very clever demon.

The current position of the dragon is displayed on the map in the virtual window.

(Are you approaching Gantz?)

[I agree. But the behavior of the dragon is inconsistent. Probably by chance]

(I see. Continue to ask for monitoring.)

[OK]

Certainly, the behavior of the dragon was not regular. If you think you were in the same place for a couple of days, you would be traveling 150 kilometers ahead the next day, or you could be free. Can you care? By the way, dragon is worried, but tomorrow is early in the morning. Let's sleep already.

At the same time the seven o'clock bell rang, both Corps A and B left the platform. A Corps is a horse and a carriage, so it will take the lead. Of course, B Corps is walking. The destination oak settlement is some 20 km away and will be back on a day trip.

I walked through the sea of trees and was able to come close to the oak settlements before noon. Greyhound was attacked twice by Greyhound on the way, but has been exterminated without any problem. After all the number of demons is small. Guild decimation is a success.

Gather everyone and explain the strategy.

"In the future, there is an oak settlement at 500 meters. There are 55 altogether. The settlement looks like this."

He drew the shape of a settlement on the ground and placed the leaves around the location of the oak.

"Initially, as much as possible, I will use magic to make it unnoticeable. It is not a big problem if you notice it, but the rest of the fight will be easier, so let's go as quietly as possible. Don't panic, act at each party. ''

Everyone nods with a nervous face. Speaking of which, is it the first time for B Corps to fight against more enemies?

"Oak is not a big deal. If only I can beat it alone. Let's be comfortable."

When joking, some people smiled.

"Okay, let's go."

They approach the settlement slowly in a single column without making noise.

Without encountering an oak on the way, I was able to get to the immediate side of the settlement at a distance of 500 meters for about 40 minutes. Not yet noticed.

After all, the settlement is a circular place with a diameter of about 115 meters, and there are sunshades that are like standing long leaves in some places. Most of the orcs were sitting under that awning or sleeping.

Instruct each party by hand sign. Many people have heard of oak hunting and brought bows today. First, let's attack with magic and bow from outside the village.

When everyone was ready, they swung their arms down and ordered a simultaneous attack. As expected, fifty people attacked and noticed quite a bit, but the orcs didn't seem to understand what had happened yet.

At least 20 orcs could be defeated in this swarm. Well done.

"Arbitrary attack start!"

He entered the village with a loud instruction. At last he notices that it is an assault and strikes a light arrow into the forehead of the approaching oak, and he catches one after another.

Oh, bowing attacks are pretty effective for slow-moving orcs. Orcs fell one after another after receiving many arrows.

At that time, a shout came from behind the village. This would be General Oak. Did you do it after all?

"I'll kill General Oak!"

It's hard if an important face gets scratched. Attack your body as before and defeat it. The General Oak is smaller than last time, but is likely to be nearly three meters tall. Locking on around the heart of General, who had a large club-like object and walked with confidence, fired light arrows one after another. The General Orc slowly collapsed when he received his fourth shot.

"Oh! Alan-sama has defeated General Oak!"

Already a large number has been decided, and all that remains is to leave the mopping. After the General is defeated, the three orcs who try to escape are killed with a light arrow. Alright, that's all.

"Okay, everyone did well! The operation is over."

"Oh!" "I did it!"

"If you take a break, let's collect the magic stone and the defeated part."

"It was easy! Alan-sama"

"That's right. With such a number, it's natural given everyone's ability."

He turned over General Orc and dropped his head with the sword that fired the Final Blade. Let's drain blood properly. It's always a pretty ugly face. This ugly thing will surely sell high.

After a light break, everyone separated and recovered all oak magic stones and defeated parts. It is 14 o'clock. If you don't hurry home, it will be dark.

"Okay, let's go back to Ganz!"

"Oh!"

At that time, communication came in from Iris.

[Captain, the dragon seems to be heading for the Jukai]

(What!?)

In a hurry, I displayed the map in a virtual window and checked the position and speed of the dragon. I see ... I'm definitely heading here, but I'm not aiming straight at us.

(I guess you're not aiming at us)

[I don't think it is, but you should be on guard]

"Um, Alan?"

Oh, Walter seems suspicious because I don't move forever.

"Bad news. The dragon is heading here."

"Dragon !?"

"Yes. Let's go back with caution as much as possible."

Everyone heard of the dragon, and left the orc settlement while looking up at the sky with anxiety.

Around thirty minutes later, Iris communicated again.

[This is not a good situation. See this]

I'm in the middle of a march right now ... He raised his hand and stopped the entire procession. Everyone stops immediately and is watching over the sky.

Looking at the video on the virtual window, it looks like a dragon hunting video. Of course, it was recorded not live video. The dragon seems to turn around and aim for prey. Set your aim and descend at once. He sneaked into the trees, killing a big bore that was likely to be 500 km.

[Unfortunately there were adventurers nearby]

Oh, it's not.

The figure of about ten adventurers is zoomed. The adventurers were scared of the dragon, but were trying to manage the dragon who was hooked on eating.

Oh, stupid things! I would have to escape here without noticing. How do you defeat it? As the adventurers wrapped behind the dragon, two spells of magic seemed to concentrate. stupid! I understand that it can't be defeated with just one magic. The result was clearer than looking at the fire.

When ready, three other party members fired arrows at the back of the dragon. The arrow is played as a matter of course, and the dragon interrupting the meal turns around grumpy.

The two who were preparing there cast magic. Timing is exquisite. Both seemed to have fired a frame arrow, and six fire arrows flew at the dragon's face and landed.

Oh! One of the six stuck in the eyes of the dragon. The dragon screams irresistibly.

He rolled around for about twenty seconds, but as if the pain had subsided, he stood up with his eyes closed and glared at the adventurers, giving a long roar. Ah, after all this?

Adventurers were panicked by the roar of the dragon and were trying to escape. There was still a way to go if I managed to crush the other eye instead of running away. When the dragon inhales, it exhales a flame like a flamethrower from its mouth, and the flame swallows the adventurers. Ahh….

The dragon keeps roaring into the sky to see if he can't help killing the adventurers. She soon became tired of shouting, and when she took off she began to fly in a circle as if searching for something. The upper body of the dragon is zoomed. After all, the dragon looked at the ground and looked for something hard. I'm sure he's looking for someone to hit eight.

If you check it on the map, it is gradually approaching here. Well, this is certainly a bad situation. If you find a dragon, it will probably hit you.

But this is also an opportunity. This is exactly the opportunity we have been waiting for. An adventurer who defeated several Wyverns was awarded the title in Starweik. Then what if it was a dragon?

That opportunity comes all the way. It's worth wagering here, even if you're trying a bit.

"Walter, the dragon is approaching again. I'll take another action and try to manage the dragon. You can take the B Corps back to Ganz."

"What do you say! If that is the case, we will also provide you. If we all work together, we are not afraid of dragons!"

"No, in terms of dragons, everyone is still underpowered. To put it bluntly, they're just barefoot.

"Sure! But we can do something!"

"Walter, this is an order. If you're a military person, do you understand what the order is?"

"……… Yes"

"I don't think this is the case, but if I didn't return, I would ask Captain Serena's instructions. Captain Serena would be the clan's second commander."

"… OK"

"Oh, yes. Give me the oak magic stone. I'd like half."

I received an oak magic stone in a hemp bag. That's enough.

"The dragon is approaching from the east. Ride about an hour to the west, then go north to return to Ganz. Walter, I'll ask everybody."

"I see. Alan ... please don't overdo it."

"I know. Well, leave it to me."

(Nanom, long-distance driving mode)

[Roger that]

I started running east.

Of course, you can easily beat the dragon with a drone. But I didn't want to. If the dragon sees humans like greyhounds and orcs, it might be if it's a monster that strikes right away.

However, that dragon was different, and did not attack people unnecessarily. The same thing can be called justifiable defense. If such a dragon had lost himself and was about to attack a human, I wanted to stop it with my hands.

...... No, really? Am I so cool? Of course I'm not that kind of person.

Do you hate to lie that you have defeated what the drone has defeated? I don't want to lie. But is that all?

That dragon is undoubtedly the strongest creature in the human world. Until now, I have never really used magic. There was no need or opportunity to use it. But one day, he would have wanted to use magic all his might.

Ah, yeah ... I just want to test my power against the dragon.

Alright, let's do it!
