"Is that true...?
The rest was looking at the sight in front of me in an incredible way.
Because there were daughters and ministers sent out by the thought of a mutilation.
"Yes, by the time we got there, the land of corrosion had vanished."
The ministers who accompanied her daughter, Meglierna, nodded.
They are loyal ministers who have served me for more than many years.
They are not the kind to falsely state falsehood even if they are mistaken.
"But why did such a miracle happen?
Isn't that exactly an event other than calling it a miracle?
I don't think anything convenient like that will happen.
"The local villagers said thanks to the goddess"
"Goddess?"
"Yes, when the goddess prayed, she said the light was wrapping around her and the earth of corrosion was returning to its original at the next moment"
Incredible, you say it's a goddess? I'm not denying the gods, but at least it was in the age of mythology that the gods sent them to earth.
The gods said they moved their dwellings to heaven after a long battle with the evil gods.
After that, there is no story left to say that the gods have shown themselves on earth.
But if Meglierna's story is true, surely it only seems to be God's business...
"In fact, we also saw sun-like light shine from the depths of the corrosive earth. And when we got to the back of the corrosive earth, where there was supposed to be a sealed temple, the sealed temple was crumbling down every hill where it should be."
"What happened to the seal?"
If the seal collapses, the ancient Great Warcraft that was sealed will awaken!
If that happens, the world will be ruined!
"I'll tell you about it."
On behalf of Meglierna, a young priest sent by the temple comes forward.
Surely this young man was the grandson of the temple chief.
I look so serene that I don't think it's inside that monster grandpa.
"The seal was destroyed by some hand."
"What!?"
Destruction!? Seal that poisonous bug's trekking cursed land!?
"So, the Great Warcraft was still liberated?
"No, the seal was destroyed, but as Princess Meglierna said, the land that was the land of corrosion was returning to its original land and there was no sign of the revival of an evil being who said it would scatter the fierce poison of the devil"
"Oh my...!?"
Incredible...... you say the Great Warcraft was not resurrected, even though the seal was unsealed.
"Your Majesty, we should conduct another investigation regarding the land of corrosion"
"Ugh, um. Because of the content, we need to consult with other countries that were adjacent to the land of corrosion."
Russell gave me his mouth at a good time.
We've known each other for years around here.
Thanks to you, I remember something important.
"I don't know. I forgot to tell you the last thing I had to do was surprise you."
"Sire?"
The rest get up and head under Meglierna.
And I embraced Meglierna, who was confused, just gently.
"Well done. I'm back alive. I'm more than happy with the rest."
"Heh..."
I don't know, did I get you in trouble?
But just for today, just for now.
Only now, as a father, not a king, do I want to rejoice in the safety of my daughter.
"Oh, thank you......"
And in the rest of my arms Meglierna spins her words small and shy.
I don't know what the hell happened and this happened and everything.
Even if it were a beneficial event for our country, we can't honestly rejoice more than we don't know what they mean.
But still, I couldn't help but think that I could thank the unidentified goddess for the results.

A day passed when the earth of corrosion was opened up.
We came to the Adventurer Alliance at the call of the Alliance Leader.
"Oh, I've been waiting for you, Mr. Rex!
As soon as we enter the guild, the receptionist will be here.
"What? Did you mess with something again, big guy?
"Dude, what have you done this time?
The adventurers watching the sight raise their voices to cool us down.
"I didn't do anything serious. I mean, he called me out of the blue, and we don't even know what it is."
"Well, that's a good thing, so come back."
The receptionist pushes my back and takes me to the back of the guild.
"Are you sure you want to follow us?
And Gyro asks the receptionist if you look uncomfortable.
"Yes, because this time it's all about you."
"All of us?
Mr. Liliera and the others tilt their necks, wondering what they were talking about.
"Commander Guild, we've got Mr. Rex and the others."
"Whoa, get in!
When you hear the permission of the guild leader from across the door, the receptionist opens the door.
"Go ahead, gentlemen."
"Excuse me."
As we enter the room, the guild leader who was reading the paperwork looks up.
"Ooh, it's been a long time. Well, sit down."
Sitting on the couch, prompted by the guild leader, narrows to boulders.
Sitting on the couch for four without Mr. Megli and Mr. Norb is tight.
I'm glad Master Idra hasn't come to see you in the Golem today.
"You don't seem to have enough."
The two of us shouldn't be enough to be the usual members, so is what the guild chief is saying about Master Idra?
"He's not one of us, he's a solo."
"Well, well, then I don't mind. You're the one I wanted to hear the most about, big guy."
"Is that me?
"Yeah, the earth of corrosion, one of the forbidden areas, actually disappeared a while back. You know anything about that?
The Alliance Commander asks me questions to explore.
Was it about the land of corrosion that I called this time, so long as it was done?
But there is no evidence anywhere that we were involved in the land of corrosion.
So if you stick it up properly, you'll be deluded.
Because if you do too flashy, and you stand out, you don't have an ex or a kid.
I want to live inconspicuously.
"No, I don't know anything in particular"
But the guild leader frowns in surprise.
"Oh, really? I have information to tell you that I saw you flying in the sky towards the corrosive earth."
"Didn't you just happen to be in the same direction? We were just crusading around the neighborhood, weren't we?
"Well, did you happen to be the nearest town adventurer guild to the corrosive land of your neighborhood, where you brought into the guild a massive crusade for dangerous poisonous demons living in the corrosive land"
……
……
Inside the room is silently wrapped in the words of the guild chief.
"Hmm, that's a hell of a coincidence"
"Ha ha ha, right...... is there a coincidence! Whatever one or two, there's no way dozens of them will be brought into the guild and fooled!
Ah, shit.
It's a hassle to dismantle, so I took it to the guild for revenge.
"It was the information that came in the arrow to investigate the land of corrosion on an order from the great man. It wasn't such a surprise, you."
"hahaha"
All right, let's laugh and deceive.
"Well good. I didn't mean to scold you. I just wanted to know if you guys had anything to do with it."
"No, we were just crusading demons."
Is that what you want me to do?
That being said, the guild leader deliberately exhales a great deal of sigh.
"All right, all right. This story is something that some S-rank did, and I'll keep it a secret from whoever did it."
Whoa, that's right. The guild leader understands the story.
"Damn, this is why the s-rank. I guess you solved the problem by some means that you couldn't tell people, anyway?
"Come on, what is it?
Looks like everyone else in S-rank has a lot of hands when it comes to listening to the guild leader's mouth.
"Hey Guild Leader, do you often keep S-rank that secret?
And, you wondered what the guild chief said, Gyro, you ask the guild chief a question.
"Hmm? Yeah, they're S-ranked by the bend. Naturally, I have several trump cards that no one else can teach me. For example, the location of an undiscovered ancient site buried with magic items that only we know of."
"Whoa!"
"Something else passed down from ancestors to ancestors about how to make secret lost magic and potions."
"Ho."
Gyro and Mina seem intrigued by the words of the guild chief.
"For adventurers, outstanding technology and information are the seeds of rice. Naturally, there's information that the Alliance doesn't want the other guy to know."
……
And that's where everyone looks at me.
"" "Completion" "
"Huh? Why are you looking at me there? Unlike Mr. Roddy and the others, I'm a regular adventurer, right?
It would be rude to have a real S-rank adventurer with me who was lucky enough to be S-ranked.
"Yeah, well, people who can go up there are more or less unconscious about their specificity."
"" "Convinced" "
"So why are you convinced there?"
I mean, don't say anything extra about the Alliance Commander!
"Whatever, if it's a guild, that's all we need to know. No problem. If only we could figure out if someone solved the problem."
"That's pretty nasty."
"I have nothing to admit, but the power of S-rank depends on the state. As long as you give me an extra little bite and you turn to S-rank, the country won't talk any more."
I've heard stories about it in my day.
Sometimes they couldn't use the formal power of a country like the Knights, so they asked for help from outside with the power of an adventurer.
But when you do, you won't get paid for opening up the land of corrosion.
"Huh? Really? Was there a reward?
Oh, that's my first ear, too. There was no reward.
"Yeah, because the problem with the land of corrosion is not only this country, but multiple countries have been haunting their heads. The land we have developed becomes uninhabitable because of poison. Then give me the money, but I want to fix the problem."
"So the reward is going to be a lot of money."
And Mina looks at me.
"Right. Collect all the rewards from every country and 10,000 pieces of gold will be strong."
"" "10,000 Gold Coins!?" "
Mr. Liliera and the others round their eyes when they hear what the guild leader has to say.
"I thought... but I'm starting to feel like it's kind of a big deal."
"Oh, I thought so, too. I feel like I could make some money if I try."
"When you're beside Rex, the sense of money in the reward goes crazy."
"Right. If you crusade dragons properly, you'll get a thousand gold coins or something."
"No, you guys, it's obviously weird."
After listening to everyone's conversation, the guild leader sounds like he's spooked.
"Well that's good. Big time eater, that's good for you, huh? If you name it, you can be the nobleman of your country, right?
"Oh, it's good to say that. Because I want to live a peaceful life."
"... right"
The guild leader, who heard my answer, just shut up that I was done talking.
Nobility is the last thing I want to be.
Then we'll excuse ourselves.
"Ooh."
When we're done, we're leaving the guild.
"I don't know what to do now. Since Norb and the others aren't here, we need to get more company to take requests."
"Well, it's just too dangerous not to have a bandit and a monk."
"If I could do anything by myself, like my brother. Ah, I don't know what to say."
"That's not true. Even if you can do a lot of things by yourself, the presence of your people is important. There's only one thing you can do alone at a time."
Yes, even if the sword, magic, and healing magic were made by themselves, it's impossible to do everything by yourself at the same time.
I realized that in my fight against Venombeat.
That's when Liliera stopped the demon attack, and I was able to make it.
"Mr. Liliera, this time it was really helpful. Thank you."
"Huh? What, suddenly!? Well, I don't feel bad"
"What is it, Mr. Liliera? Is something wrong?
"Yeah, Mr. Liliera helped me with a dangerous situation."
"Heh, that's awesome, Mr. Liliera's!
"Oh, I'm not making a big deal of it."
"But it's like Rex thanking you, isn't it? It bothers me. Sounds like something happened to you then besides defeating the demon man, huh?
"Yeah, yeah, I care too"
"Right. I'm concerned, too."
"Look, he said he cares about Megri and Norb"
"So what's the big deal...?
We turn to the voices we hear.
Then there were Mr. Megli and Mr. Norb.
"" "" Megli!? "" to Mr. Norb!? "
"Oh, I'm with you."
Mr. Norb looks sad, but I don't think so!
"Are you good at your job?
"Yeah, you're all right now. Master Idra's escort is no longer needed, except in an emergency, thanks to Lex's golem for the Shadows."
"That's more than anything."
"I had a hard time questioning His Majesty and Mother about where I got my arr from because of it..."
When I say that, Megri looks very tired.
Mr. Megli said that the golem was another golem he had made since he returned from the land of corrosion.
"I mean, wouldn't you be a shadow fighter if I told you about the Golem?
"Master Idra told His Majesty and Mother. Because of this, I don't have to be a dangerous shadow fighter anymore. Well, actually, because I need a place to hide the array when I don't use it. Even in that sense, I needed to tell Her Majesty and her mother, my boss as a shadow warrior."
Uh, sure. If I thought about it, I wouldn't have thought about a place to treat you.
Maybe I should have given you the magic bag as a set.
"But I really wanted you to give me a break to say you bought it or something with my handover. I was thankful you didn't honestly say you bought it from Rex."
Oh, you kept my story a secret.
"What did you say to convince me?
"He explained that the adventurer bought magic items that he unearthed from the ruins. I was having trouble making money immediately because it wasn't weapons or protective equipment, so I negotiated and bought it cheap. In fact, it is true that if the aristocrats see it, they think it can be used to combat the assassination."
"As it turns out, I do hear that some of the magic items that I unearth in the ruins are unusable and often want to be bought cheaply. But, Master Idra, how did you explain that you looked exactly like her?
"When Master Idra touched me, she said she looked just like Master Idra, and she managed to convince me"
Mr. Megli, I guess I tried my best to convince you.
"By the way, where do you hide such a big golem when you say you hide it? In the Tans?
"If you act like that, the maid who came to get dressed will faint."
Gyro, to your question. When Mr. Megli exhales small, he answers about the stash of golems.
I mean, can we hear it?
"Master Idra's room and Shadow Man's my room are adjacent, so I decided to hide them in my room. That's because the maids are forbidden to come in."
Will you punish the Shadow Golem in the Shadow Room as long as it is done?
Probably the right stash in a way.
"Speaking of which, is Norb's errand good enough already?
"Yeah, I'm done too. There may still be days when you will be called to church, but soon you will be able to take part in the adventure as usual."
"You said, then we can have another adventure together!
Knowing that Mr. Megli and Mr. Norb will be able to adventure together again, Gyro, you will regain your energy.
"Well, sure, it must be a lot harder if it isn't for these men. Normal adventurers can't magically fly in the sky or anything."
"Right! I knew these four weren't gonna make it!
"Oh, really good? If it was just the two of us, you might have let me into Lex's party, right?
"What?"
And to Mr. Mina's words, Gyro, you stop the movement.
"Ah! Seriously! Shit!
"It's terrible, Mr. Gyro!
I am truly sorry, Gyro, that Mr. Norb seems to resent you.
"Oh, I'm kidding, Norb."
"Are you sure?
"Really! Really!"
"Pu, ku ku"
Megri laughs happily when she was listening to those two conversations.
"Mr. Megli?
"Yeah, I knew these four would be good. Really..."
"... right"
Mr. Norb, who was stuffing on you, also nods in agreement with Mr. Megri's words.
"So it's nice to see you again, guys. And Lex and the others."
"Ooh! Nice to meet you!"
"... yeah, nice to meet you"
"Regards"
"I don't know, it's nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you"
"Cucumber?"
Thus, Gyro, you Dragon Slayers were reconstituted.
"Okay, so let's use Venom Beat materials to create new gear for your party reconstitution!
"" "Please do that outside the King's Capital!!" "
Because of the celebration, I wanted to create a new gear for everyone, but for some reason, Gyro refused to do everything in his power.
They're all modest.
