Lazy Dungeon Master

Igni was entrusted to Itetsu, and we returned to the village.

I also had him carry me home on my back...

"We didn't end up with more luggage, so let's go down the hill."

"Oh, come on, Wataru. What are you doing?

"Ready to go down the mountain?

"... isn't this a cliff?

"It's just the shortest route you can't use to climb because the slope is a little tight."

"Hey, scary, scary, scary!

"I'll be as careful as I can, but you bite your tongue when you're talking, right?

"Hey Gozo, stop it! I was wondering if I could get off this near-vertical place!

"What are you talking about? You can get off normally to this extent. Oh, don't let the cake hang around your feet, 'cause you can scrape it."

"Are you serious..."

I wish I could have returned in 15 minutes where it took me three hours to get there, but I was more scared than a lousy jet coaster.

I mean, Nik and the squid were flat sliding down the slope, but what, am I crazy? Or are you doubling your fear when you're on your back? I'm glad I finished the bathroom beforehand.

"Well, you're home safe."

"Uh, welcome back -"

And it was Locco and Nerne who welcomed us back. For some reason, Rokuko was waiting for Jen royally.

Was Itetsu contacting Locco or something?

"I thought it was time to come home.... Kama, come here and give in a little?

"Hmm? What?

I descend from Wataru's back and approach and bow as he tells me.

"... oh, welcome back... chi... Nhh! Welcome back!

"Whoa, so don't slap me. I don't know if it's blinding, but don't slap it."

He's my father. Get to work.

Rokuko aside, Wataru was also called by Nerne. Yeah, I knew we were getting along, but were we close enough to give you a welcome?

"So, Mr. Wataru? Any souvenirs? What's the scale of the Flame Dragon? What about Tuno?

"Ah... well, there are circumstances... I don't know what to say instead, how about firerat fur or red slime fluids..."

……

"Ahhh! I'm sorry, I reconciled with the dragon, so I hope that wasn't the kind of air you could collect!

"Next time - do you expect some rare souvenirs?

"Yes! I'll take care of it!

And Nerne went back to the inn. Leave me a wattage to try my best next time.

... Oops, they're rolling. Why don't you just go ahead and make a contribution where I don't know?

"Wataru. What do I say, okay? So?

"It's okay. It's more comfortable."

Oh, no. I'm a pervert.

"Oh, no, it's not like M (Mazo) or something, like this, like a cat?

"Well, does Nerne look like Ketsey or something from Wataru"

"Is Ketsey in this world?!?

It was in the catalog. I guess I am. Monster frame, maybe.

And you noticed we're back. The villagers came too, about five.

"Oh, it's true, the village chiefs are back! And no one's missing it!

"That, what about the dragon meat?

"Are you all right! So, what happened!?

Villagers asking orally.

"Uh, yeah. It's all right now. 'Cause I can handle it."

"Oh, really? Did you knock him out after all? Though there were brave men, you were able to defeat them so well with such a small number."

"Well, I didn't knock you down.... um, what can I say"

I told Gozo, "Explain it to me from you, too. But don't say anything unnecessary," he said.

"... let's conclude. I didn't have to worry about this village being attacked by the Flame Dragon because I ran over the dragon with the secret of Kama."

"What?"

"You slapped the dragon..." Ha ha, Mr. Gozo. What are you such an idiot? "

"It's a fact. I saw the dragon bowing its head with these eyes, too. I'm sorry I burned the field, man. Hey, Wataru?"

"Hey, Mr. Kama, you did a great job this time! Clo and I were almost like a one-horse hit!

Shit, the "extra thing" range wasn't telling. Even for Wataru.

"Hey, seriously. There's a misconception that you just settled."

"Hey, the village chief said he was a dragon-tamer!

"Seriously, you're better than a dragon slayer! I, the mayor of the village, will brag to everyone that you've taken Dicon's revenge!

"Seriously!? I'm not tayming you!? Hey!"

And, well, that's how it spread all over the village that I dropped the dragon lightly.

Why. I tried to push Wataru for trouble...

"Hey you guys. Don't push me to merit... what do you think I took you guys for?"

"You're a living witness, aren't you? And you didn't say anything about Lord Salamander."

"You just didn't do anything, did you, us? It's usually up to Mr. Kama to push, isn't it?"

"See, there's a fine feat in taking care of trouble."

"I wouldn't call that merit. Maybe this will make Mr. Kama a B in Adventurer Rank, too?

The Alliance guys know I'm double-ranked.

When you get a chance, you say you're trying to raise the ranks and unify... yeah, it's possible.

Uggs, I didn't even get a B-rank on the table. You're noble from the B rank, right? Nobles are trouble, I know.

"No, but that's right, you don't have a second-class special in D-rank right now."

"No, Kama. I know you don't want to work, but this time, me and Lop will be B-ranked, too. Even if I honestly told you I didn't do anything."

"Right.... If I told you the truth, Mr. Kama would go as far as a, right?

"Well, how can that be?"

"The Dragon Crusade is a feat that multiple B-rank parties are making sacrifices to accomplish. In other words, you can say B-rank just by participating and surviving. Even though I (S-rank) followed that to two parties, I haven't handled it at all. Mr. Kama challenged the dragon for one more party in substance from there, but also for two as a reality, intact. And even the lashes.... It's already about the A-rank (out-of-person), no, S-rank (out-of-person) area. You know what I mean?

If you ask me, I think I understand the seriousness of the matter.

Maybe I underestimated the existence of a dragon.

The best known dragon is Ledra, and he's a casual opponent with Itetsu... even though he fought a bee in a dungeon battle once, I guess he didn't know the threat.

No, I still don't know what I'm doing. Blah, blah, blah. I'm only feeling friendly about the Dragon King, or Core 5, which would be the pinnacle of the dragon, as well as "Something's wrong with that guy over there".

"I mean, even if we blur Mr. Kama's achievements as much as possible, thanks to Mr. Kama's secrets, we succeeded in leaving the dragon at victim zero, so much so, right? It's not going to go any further than that."

Yes, this world has magic tricks to spot lies.

Shit...... Can't I be deluded if they ask me about root digging leaf digging, huh?

"... er, dragon exorcism... no, hmm. Can't you do that much with a B-rank or something?

"That's why I can't. I'm tough on dragon opponents, aren't I? One or two of your arms will be ready to be eaten. Recovery magic can take a couple of days."

Seriously, B-rank was a weak guide... no, the dragon is actually too strong?

"Well, b-rank is certain, congratulations"

"Do you want to quit?

"That means quitting the Adventurer Alliance. I wouldn't recommend it."

"... then I'll stop being an adventurer and live as a village chief or an offtonist priest."

"Either way, I think Master Haku will call you in on this one and you'll be acquainted with it. I thought if I refused, I'd be executed for disrespect."

Uh. Mr. Huck would do it. Absolutely. Apply disrespect here and there. Because it's Mr. Haku. 'Cause it's Mr. Huck!

"Well, you don't have much trouble with the head of the organization having the power to go through even outside. Oh, do you want to come with me to Imperial City? I'll keep the escorts cheap."

"I'll take a different route. You're not gonna pay for S-rank escorts or anything."

"I mean a friend fee, because that's fine if you cover transportation and food on the road!

... Then you might want to ask for it.

I've never been to Imperial Capital on a proper route, and it might be a good opportunity to be an escort to the brave. You won't be able to talk about Imperial Capital without knowing exactly what's on the road.

"Well... yeah, if that's what you're going to be called, do me a favor"

"Okay, then we need to get our journey ready now! Oh, Mr. Kama [Storage] You have it, how long are you free? You should put in plenty of water and food."

Wataru said that in a somewhat upbeat manner.... No, is this guy always like this?

Also, the Dragon Exorcism Success Party on this day was quite exciting with my liquor "secret dragon killing".

No, that's because it's just sake! Don't name yourself a secret or a dragon killer! And I didn't kill him!
