I work part-time in the bakery in the morning before taking a college class.
This is the routine work these days.
On the day the class ends early, we go hunting on the path of Shalazad and the Shady Moon.
When I thought such a life was finally being established, I got a letter from Linda.
The contents of the letter do not match.
It only says that the date, time and place are specified and I want to meet them.
"You feel angry about this sentence."
I don't know why.
I haven't heard from her lately, but Linda knows I'm busy.
When I went to my usual restaurant private room, Linda was already here.
"Hey, long time no see"
"Hey, you."
Yeah, I'm angry.
"Linda, what's going on?
"Don't you have any idea why you're mad at me?
Apparently, I'm the cause. I put my hand on my chest.
Hmm.
"My chest says I don't know."
"Oh, yeah. Hmm."
I knew I was angry. What the hell is the cause? I really don't know.
... and Linda came out with a piece of paper. I've seen it.
This is the Pathway Hope Questionnaire I wrote at the Academy.
"This has come around to me, hasn't it? I was wondering if this was okay."
"It is."
"It's the way to go after graduation."
"Yeah, you said before you wouldn't be a soldier."
"I'm listening to that.... So, the path after graduation is becoming a bakery in a local city?
What are you gonna do, huh? I've heard it in the wind.
"What? I tell you to write hope, so you want to do my hope, bakery... couldn't you?
At the end of the day, I tried to be cute. In the middle of what I'm saying, Linda's face is getting rough.
"You've decided no! This isn't where I write my dreams for the future. I have to write down what I'm going to do. Even the girl I tend to dream of is seeing a little more reality. You can't take a local bakery with you, Sharazard."
"But look, mascot?
Charazard is cute.
Black Dragon welcomes you to the store. Become famous, it may become popular.
"You know what they call you in the alley (again)?
"No?"
I don't know, I have a bad feeling.
"Leon, the black reaper, the natural enemy of the demonic kingdom, the unquestioned killer, the great calamity, the dragon maniac who escapes barefoot even the moon warcraft, abbreviated as" Hadake Leon. "
"Wait a minute!
"... what"
"At the end of the day, there was something about me. Why am I being told?
Even though it's Charazard's fault.
"What are you talking about? It's all the names you've been given."
"Yes?"
All of it, me? Not Charazard?
'Cause you, the Lord of Shalazad.'
"Yeah."
I won't deny that.
"So we all did what you did, whether it was destroying 20,000 demon soldiers or making the rebels fight each other. The two names I've listed are all things that can be put on your head."
"That Rikutsu is strange"
"I'm not crazy. … so if you've recently become called by a strange name to me"
"By the way, what?
"Sorry, forget it. Nothing."
"By the way, what?
………………
"Hey, what?
"... a woman who uses evil ghosts on evil dragons with her chin"
Linda said, looking so hard to say.
A demon on an evil dragon? You mean I'm the devil? Wouldn't that be the case?
And around Linda, I knew very well that my reputation was falling to the ground.
"I felt the horror of reputation damage on my skin."
"The reputation damage is mine and I think you almost deserve it in your case...... so I'll get back to this Pathway Hope questionnaire. You belong to the Luckena Chamber of Commerce."
"Uh... yes?
Why are you questioning me?
"No, I'm not sure what you're dealing with."
"Quite simply, you're our temporary staff. If I needed a charazard, I'd only hire it then."
They even get paid on an ad hoc basis.
By the way, I'm not going to be military, so I'm not going to get any pay from the state.
Therefore, my income, other than the salary I get from Linda, was taken out of the moonstone and sold.
In the case of Charazard, it's likely to be more profitable than getting paid poorly by the state.
Even if you do not become a member of the military, the five dragon jockeys remain as duties to be observed.
"Okay. So, please."
"So we'll go through the process. We have to do this by the end of the year, so I'll do it as soon as I can."
"I see."
Is it time to think about what happens after graduation already?
It seems a long time ago that I came to the King's Capital, but it has not been two years.
Thinking about it, I would have spent a lot of intensive time in Wang Du.
"I'm going south for a while. I wonder if I'll be back in time for the Dragon Pickup Rite."
"Why? Isn't it dangerous?
It has not been many days since the rebellion was suppressed.
"It's okay. There's a lot of soldiers stationed there, and they're keeping an eye on the whole town to make sure it never happens again."
Linda will start doing business in earnest next year.
I chose the south of Dragon Nation as a stepping stone.
They are now putting their energy into making connections to the country of technology.
If the family takes first place in sequence, it will also be possible, so they will now carefully create a base in the South.
"But you're surprised. The rebellion in the South seems to have settled once and for all."
It was a rebellion from town to town, so they destroyed each one with numerous dragons and soldiers before they could be linked.
Though some sacrifice was made, the town was opened relatively quickly and, he said, became a battle that demonstrated the excellence of the army of the dragon kingdom.
"I heard that the rebellion was suppressed and senior government officials who were going to the Athletic Nation returned, but I wonder what's going on with the tech competition"
"Exactly, Linda, but don't you see what's happening in the Big Bobcat family?"
"Something with no connections.... but we'll have branches at all our headquarters in time."
Linda was on fire. And if Linda does, she could really do it. That, too, is not so far into the future.
And my future has been decided.
The bakery in the local city... it seems impossible. Well, I guess so.
Now it's time for Linda to get laid.
And anticipating the time... one of these days, I'm gonna open a bakery...
"... that?
I just realized, will I be hired by Linda for the time being?
I don't know, it's a little complicated to think about that.
