The next day the school of magic was closed, so I was coming to the cave of evil dragons with Hinata and the inhabitants of her village.
To recover the remains of the villagers killed by the evil dragon.
Perhaps Hinata's parents' bones are also here.
I also heard about my parents from her mouth yesterday.
It is a cave inhabited by evil-stained dragons, so demons frequently occur until they are purified.
Waiting for it to be purified naturally will take hundreds of years.
Furthermore, under the influence of the demonic powers of evil dragons, which were originally attributed dragons, demons of the highest and rank B had emerged.
There is no inhabitant in Hinata's village who can defeat B-rank demons.
So when I stayed in the village, I decided to help recover the remains as much as possible.
We bring in about twenty villagers, including Hinata, but it seems impossible in a day to carry out all the remains for hundreds.
When more than twenty people follow, it becomes difficult to protect the inhabitants from demons.
I'm also letting Shadow Dragon escort me, but I don't know what it is, so I had no more than twenty people coming to the cave.
I didn't want to bring Hinata in if it's true because it's dangerous, but I insist that she follow me, so I'm here with you on condition that she doesn't leave me.
All the clothes on the body, etc. are worn out by the evil dragon's temper, and I can't tell which remains were who.
So we have to take out all the remains and provide for them.
The villagers lost their words when they saw the stacked human bones.
Less miserably, there were a few who wept.
Everyone then went to work silently, not from anyone.
When I was working on it...
"Oh, village chief! Dear Lucin! Ha, my God!!"
The inhabitants of Hinata's village ran all the way to the cave.
This is the girl who brought some food to me during the feast last night.
I was going back and forth through the deepest part of the cave and the entrance and exit, carrying out the remains, but just when I was outside, the girl came.
"What's wrong with you? So hasty."
"What happened?
"And the Crusaders, the Evil Dragon Crusaders are coming here!
I breathe constantly, and that's what the girl who's been running says.
"Crusaders? If it's an evil dragon, I'll take it down."
"That's why it's bad. One person outside our village took the liberty of asking the Adventurer Alliance to crusade the Evil Dragon!
"Hey, what?!?"
The mayor's complexion changes.
"What's wrong with that? The Evil Dragon isn't here anymore, so why don't you ask the Crusaders to go home soon?"
"It's..."
"Dear Lucin, making a request to the Adventurer Alliance means that you will need a request at that point. The request is for an evil dragon crusade… you will need a tremendous amount of money"
The village chief explained to me.
The village of Hinata and the four villages around it have long acted as one community. When a powerful demon emerged, five villages were funding each other to hire and crusade adventurers?
Its Community commitments were and remain valid as ancient contracts.
Because they are contracted using a magic contract, they also say that they cannot reverse the promise.
Even if Hinata's village claims that it had not sent an evil dragon crusade request to the Adventurer Guild, the request must be paid. Even if crusade rewards are unnecessary, it is easy to imagine that the funds involved in calling and collecting strong enough to defeat evil dragons will be prohibitively expensive.
"Even worse, my village has very little money. There are..."
The village chief sees Hinata at first sight or the girl who has been running.
also, could......
"There are more young women (stomachs) in our village than in other villages. More often than not, other villages told me to send girls over instead of financial aid... and in the worst case, I wouldn't want to send them out to my daughter-in-law"
Of course, the village chiefs are going to work, but they know a lot about the money they can make.
Because most of the young people who could make money from manual labor were eaten by evil dragons.
Hinata is particularly popular with men from other villages, and they say that if she were to marry, she would assist a considerable amount of money.
When I saw Hinata, she looked very dark.
Don't be ridiculous!
Let my favorite girl do something like sell herself!!
I helped the evil dragon almost kill you!?
"... hey"
"Yes. Master Lucin, what is it?
Talk to the girl who came to inform me of the approaching of the crusade.
"Do you know how many crusaders are here?
"Wow, there were three of them I saw. My aunt said it might be an advance team for reconnaissance."
The advance party seems to be on their way here, letting the men of the four villages guide them.
The girl who informed me about this knew the village of Hinata and the shortcut to this cave.
From the village of Hinata to this cave is farther than coming from any other village, but with that shortcut, they can come fastest.
That gave me a little room to think about it.
"Thanks for letting me know. I'll take care of the rest."
With that said, I stroke the girl's head.
"Dear Lucin, what are you going to do?
"Tell the advance team I took down the Evil Dragon. I declare Hinata's village to be under my control."
There's no way you can recover money from a town under my control without passing me through.
"Then, Master Lucin, will you be attacked by the Crusaders!?"
Hinata worried me.
Wow. Glad to hear it.
"It's okay. I'm so strong. You were watching Hinata, weren't you?
Now I can defeat the Evil Dragon with a punch I unleashed with the intention of restraint.
Even when the power to defeat evil dragons comes, I don't feel like losing.
Besides...
"If you leave in the (...) look of this (...), maybe the Crusaders will escape too"
I became a black dragon.
"Ooh!"
"Ko, this is... how ambitious"
"... cool"
"Dear Lucin, Shh, it's amazing!
Cheers were raised from Hinata, the village chief, and the villagers around him.
I feel very good.
When I'm by Hart's side, no one will be surprised that I've become a black dragon.
This much praise increases the tension.
"Everybody hide in the cave. I might intimidate you lightly, just in case."
Just for a second, I want to show Hinata a good place.
It may not be necessary, but let's freak out the crusaders with a growl.
"Dear Lucin... don't do anything dangerous, will you?
"Oh. It's okay."
If it was to protect Hinata, I'd be a little impotent.
But, well, you're gonna be okay.
I've become a black dragon, and there's no one I can beat.
Partly, there's an exception, because that's a bucket thing, not a human.
By the way, that bucket doesn't come here as a crusader because he's not an adventurer yet.
So fine.
Hinata and the village chiefs hid near the entrance to the cave.
No demons will come out near the entrance, and I'm keeping Shadow Dragon on perimeter just in case.
Come on Crusaders, if you want to come!!
"Master Hart, that's..."
"Yeah. I don't care what you think, it's him."
─ ─ What!? Why!?
I walked this way with a bunch of buckets that could bump me (Black Dragon) with their bare hands.
