Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

Around 7 p.m. in time, the two people who slept for about five hours woke up with the smell of food. My appetite exceeded my satisfied sleep appetite to some extent.

"Are you awake? You should sit over here. I'll be ready soon."

Ellis uses magic again as she thinks the magic effect of an interpreter has expired on Kosuke, who tilts her neck.

The table is lined with soup and bread for three. From the frying pan I heard juice and meat roasting.

Unexpectedly, Kosuke's throat rings. Horn invited me to sit down and I obeyed honestly.

Ellis puts the last dish on the table. This ham steak is served with warm vegetables.

Horn and Ellis performed the same motion before eating and closed their eyes.

"Is that religious? Should I do it, too?

The two gave a troubled look to Yusuke's query.

"What we've just done is an abbreviation for the ritual of giving thanks to God of the world.

It's normal for us, but should we also do a coursework?

"If you don't want to be suspicious of your surroundings, you better.

If you're in a hurry, but most of the time, it's what we all do.

It may take a slightly different form depending on the country. When you go to another country, you can go with it, or you can do it your own way. "

"So this is it in my case?

Put your hands together when you have it.

"Is there something similar in the world of Korske?

"This is more a way of giving thanks to those who cooked with plants, animals and dishes that served as ingredients than God.

Foreign countries also have a way of giving thanks to God. But I don't belong in that religion. "

What Yusuke is saying is Christian manipulation. Yusuke's house is Buddhist.

"Thank the cook and the ingredients. That's an interpretation we don't hear here.

Well, I think that's okay with Kosuke. If you do that, you'll mistake it for your hometown routine. "

"Okay."

This is the end of the conversation and the meal begins.

Once you get your hands on it, Kosuke becomes obsessed with a long time of decent cooking.

Horn looks smiling and Ellis looks nostalgic at Yusuke, who gets a lot of momentum.

Horn was also supposed to eat more than usual for a decent meal.

Thanks to both of us, the food is no longer clean and refreshing. The maker is delightful enough to eat.

Ellis asked Yusuke, who would join hands with you, if that was one of the manipulations, and Yusuke nodded.

Horn and Ellis finish cleaning up the dishes and start talking. The topic is before bed.

Horn cut out as a snack, but Kosuke hasn't sunk so much. I could afford to sleep and eat. The switching was faster. My parents and friends also told me I was quick to give up.

"I won't solve your problems forever. Maybe there will be more solutions in the future.

I need to think ahead of that. I don't have anything in this world, and I don't know anything about it, so it seems tough. "

"I can't about my return, but I can help if I'm going to live. So you can count on me."

"I can't imitate the horn benefactor either. If you're in trouble, you can count on it."

Thank you and Kosuke bow their heads.

"Knowledge of this world or something is fine later.

I want to hear what happened before Koske came over and met Horn. Will you talk to me? "

Kosuke nodded and talked because it was nothing to hide.

Even so, as I confirmed myself, the details remain unclear.

He then talked about when Horn found Kosuke, and somehow Ellis figured out what was going on.

"Koske must have hit the dragon's weakness with great momentum.

"The shattering of your shoulders doesn't get you up most of the time."

"Well, you lived a lot with such a big injury, me."

My face is blue that it was such a weight.

"Thanks to Horn's treatment and the dragon's power."

There's another cause, but no one realizes about it now.

Provide a detailed explanation to Kosuke, who tilts his neck.

"Horn is one of the leading medical practitioners on the continent, and he has excellent talent for healing injuries. If that horn was treated at all costs, any injury would be completely healed.

Even if the torso is torn in two as long as it is alive, it is rumored to be healing "

"Horn is amazing.

Oh, and thanks for the help. "

"It's only natural as a doctor to treat an injured person if he is. You can't do everything you can for the benefit of your life."

Kosuke reacts to the part called benefactor.

"There it is! I don't know what a benefactor of life is.

How could I have saved Horn's life by killing a dragon?

"Horn was a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice - and you mean the dragon was going to eat the horn?

"Exactly.

That bucket has been sitting in this country for thirty years, demanding sacrifice twice a year. "

"That's a common story."

"Indeed."

Ellis agreed with Yusuke's words, but they are perceived differently.

While Yusuke said it was a common subject matter as a fairy tale or other fabrication story, Ellis nodded that it was something that had actually happened many times in the past.

The conversation continues unaware of the difference.

"There are conditions for that sacrifice. You wanted to eat a powerful human maiden, that one. I went wild like that when it was unacceptable.

The villages and cities devastated by dragons exceed ten. "

"What about exorcism?

"Many times the inflexible adventurers and warriors called brave knights and heroes challenged them, but they all turned back.

In time, humans began to choose to follow dragons, saying that it was impossible to defeat them.

And now it's Horn's turn. "

"Mr. Ellis is an amazing wizard, isn't he? I thought we could do something about it.

Ellis leans down. Horn gently places his hand on his shoulder so as to encourage that Ellis.

"Ellis also moved to do something about it. And Ellis' magic did work. The magic used by Ellis is the weakening of dragons. But weakening it didn't make us fat."

"... even if you know your name, you don't have the power to protect those you want to protect. It's pathetic."

The place gets quiet. Horn is unchanged and his hand rests on his shoulder, Ellis lays his hand on his knees.

Kosuke opens his mouth to change the atmosphere.

"Oh, uh, that was just a continuation of another reason why I was so helpful?

Ellis looked up to Yusuke's care.

"Killing a dragon absorbs power and strengthens it."

"What do you mean absorbed?

"There's no concept of absorption in the world where you were?

"Absorption is a word used for things like stomach absorbing food nutrition, cloth sucking water,"

"Hmm... sounds like a concept you don't have over there.

Absorption is when you kill demons, beasts, etc., sucking on their strength and making them your own. "

Experience in RPG. That's what Kosuke sees, and that's it.

I mean, I leveled up with tons of experience in my hand, and it made it hard for me to die. Horn reached the point where he stretched the countdown of death and managed to stay alive and die, and the treatment was in time.

With the overlap between absorption and horn healing techniques and another reason, Kosuke can live.

By the way, absorption is not exactly the same as experience. Fighting the same species doesn't just keep absorbing the same power. Half for the second time and another half for the next. and so on, and at the end of the day, there will be nothing to gain.

"I can feel it when they say I'm stronger...... ah. Is that why you barely got tired until you got here? My strength made me wonder if I could move this much."

"I think I understand. Let's see how strong you are."

"You have a meter?

Ellis nods at Horn's inquiry and rises.

"Galeon said he would replace the old measuring instrument with a new one, so I bought one.

If you're going to use it every once in a while, it's not going to last long. "

Ellis, who left the room, will be right back.

He has as many metal editions and metal cards as a newspaper folded into four.

Place the metal plate you brought on the table.

"Put your hands on this."

"... has something come to mind?

After Yusuke put his hand away, something letter-like came up on the surface. Naturally, it cannot be read by Kosuke.

Horn watches in the form of a peek in from side to side with Ellis.

"... it's something I knew, but I'm surprised again when it's represented like this"

"... dragon killing is so much more amazing"

Something in the language is half surprising and frightening. That would mean that all that was displayed is amazing.

"I want you to explain. I can't read letters."

"Mm, I know.

Not here first. "

Ellis explains every piece of information that comes up.

Explained in an RPG way, there are muscle strength, sturdiness, dexterity, intelligence, and mental status. Muscle Strength Dexterity is like reading and writing, intelligence shows wisdom and amount of knowledge, and spirit shows resistance to magic and mental flexibility. In addition, there are three other health magic speeds, which are represented in turn by the average muscle strength and strength, the average intelligence and spirit, and the average muscle strength and dexterity.

The indication of status is not expressed in numbers, but in fifteen stages A + to E-. By human standards, normal in E, excellent in D, first class in C, scared in B, worshipped in A.

Kosuke's status is Muscle Strength B + Sturdy B Instrument B Intelligence C + Mental C-.

"You don't even have an A."

"Uh yeah... it's a word I can say because I don't know it"

"It would be strange to pass by surprise if there was just an A. You suspect a meter malfunction."

"Really?

"Adult men who are not fighting are muscle strength E + sturdy E + clever E intelligence E spiritual E. Can you say that even compared to that? By the way, the dragon you killed is all b +. This is in the lower god class.

It's possible to destroy a country with that bucket.

Your average is B-, and if you look at your abilities alone, it's possible to destroy a city. "

"... Could it be too expensive?

"Maybe it doesn't have to be expensive.

It's the most powerful hero we've ever known, and it's the average C.

"I'm average c-. Still making a name for itself on the continent."

Representing Kosuke's strength again in RPG terms just over 70. A little over forty in what was called the strongest of mankind. Between 80 and 90 with the dragon Kisuke killed.

"What I got is too stupid for me to really feel"

"I can't. It's not like I didn't even have the concept of absorption.

If I lived there, I wouldn't want to feel it.

Next is a gift. You don't have this, but the title is a gift. "

"I'm also curious about the title, but please explain the gift"

"A gift is a special ability that an individual has."

"I was named a gift because there is a theory of a gift from God.

I have cure three, Ellis has magic fusion two. "

"What do the numbers stand for?

"This represents the magnitude and diversity of the effects. Numbers range from 1 to 3, and the larger the number, the greater the effect.

It can grow, but it's not clear how.

They say you should continue to act in relation to gifts, etc. "

"Every inhabitant of this world has one?

"No, some don't have it. Such people gain muscle strength and sturdiness.

You're expensive, aren't you? No, it's too special to understand. I don't even have a "B."

If you have a high status so far, the difference without a gift is gone.

"Next up is a description of the title.

This can be given by God, held in people's perceptions, or obtained as a result of action.

Influence status, gifts, or behavior.

It's not possible to have more than one title on your own, but basically you can only make one title work.

If you are conscious, the titles that you have in your brain come to mind, and you can choose whatever you want from them. Change once a day.

I have the title of an excellent witch. The effect is a step up of magic and a slight increase in magic effect.

Horn is titled Railil's Favorite and the effect is corrective for healthcare related behavior "

"What's Railil?

"Not a medical goddess."

"Hmm. What's my title?

"It's Dragon Killer 2. The only reason it's numerical is because, like I said, it's also a gift.

The effects are all step-by-step up in status, which is already included in the earlier status.

That shouldn't be the only effect. One step up is due to the effect of Dragon Killer 1.

Thinking about how other gifts grow… I don't think the ascending range will stay just the status.

I mean, all behavior can be corrected. "

I can see that this speculation was hit at a later rate of growth.

This title is the last reason Kosuke survived. Where the force was absorbed and strengthened, it was further enhanced by the title and corrected for the natural healing of the flesh.

"What a cheat"

"Cheats?"

"It must mean something out of order or something."

Ellis nodded in explanation.

"Indeed.

If all behavior can be corrected, then the ability to learn can be corrected, and it's going to grow with great momentum.

It would be bad from other people's point of view.

That's just the title you got for killing the strongest dragon. "

"The strongest dragon?

"Mm-hmm. The dragon you killed was ranked highest as a dragon species."

"... you just got hit by a weakness, and he died a lot, didn't he?

"Because you yourself are dying. That must have been a hell of a shock.

And then maybe it was slightly more brittle than the other scales because of the weakness.

I can't be sure now. No, if you look for the body, you might know something, but I'm sorry I touched that. "

"I hate fur. Naturally.

Anything else to explain?

"Is there anything else in particular besides cards?

"I think so.

I don't care what you say, you just have to explain it every time. "

"Of course."

Ellis sticks a metal card to a floating metal plate of letters. Then the letters disappear. After ten seconds, the metal plate returns to its original state of nothing.

Pass the card away from the metal plate to Kosuke. The card has letters floating around it. Yusuke managed to find out only his name.

"Don't lose it because it will also be an ID. It only shows up when he has it, so it's just for ID."

"I know what your name is, but what else does it say?

"The country and city where it is based. That's where it says" Rikkart, the kingdom of Pirials. "

"Rickart is the base?

"Uhm. Probably staying here made me decide that way. I don't suppose the place where Koske originally lived could have been carved."

"What's Rickart?

"It's a city less than two hours walk from here. I live there, too."

"Only names and bases float automatically. Other information can be sorted by the owner's will.

That's all I have to say about you today.

Next up is Horn's upcoming plans. "

"Should I take my seat off?

"No, I didn't ask. But it's not even funny."

If he will allow it, Yusuke will not move from this location and will listen to it.

"Are you thinking about what Horn is going to do now?

"For once. He wants me to let him stay here for a while, and in the meantime, he wants Ellis to contact the house.

I'm going to make a fuss when I get home now. "

"I bet it's gonna be a noise for sure"

"So I want you to let the house know you're safe, and also make sure the dragon is dead, so that people from all over the country know the dragon's death before they go home.

Because if you don't, you're going to bother the house. If the Count's daughter escapes, she'll be attacked like any other nobleman. "

"The Count's house?

Yusuke, who was going to keep quiet, accidentally leaked his voice.

"Yeah, I'm the eldest daughter of the Count's family. He's my youngest."

"I've never seen nobility before."

Kosuke is surprised that there is a presence in front of him that he has not even seen on TV.

"Wasn't there an aristocratic mansion near where Koske lived?

"No, because nobility itself is not in my country. More than a hundred years ago, there was a similar thing called the Martial Family, but that's gone.

There was a difference between the rich and the poor, but it's not perfect when it comes to differences in identity. "

"Then there are no kings or nobles in the country, only civilians. How are you moving the country?

"There's something similar to a king. It's called emperor, but the emperor is not involved in national politics except for a few decided things.

It is the elected representatives of the people who move the country. "

"It feels close to the independent city of Cuhan."

Horn recalls one of the cities on the neighbouring continent of Calhoud.

Cuhan is a city that once won its independence in the face of the country's domination. After interference from the nobles, they are still defending their independence by the representatives of the city's inhabitants. The difference with Japan is that the right to vote is not determined by age and is given only to owners of medium-sized and larger stores.

"Couldn't you change it with power when Horn was chosen for sacrifice?

"If we do that, we'll take the worst of the title."

"Why not? Nobility seems great, so I guess I can be a little impotent."

"Cut off the little things for the sake of importance. This is the basic idea of aristocracy.

If a national crisis can be spared with the lives of an individual named me, it is the nobility who can shake off his feelings and give them away.

I was afraid to die, too, but I was convinced it would be a sacrifice. "

"I can understand the way you think, but I can't do it."

"I guess we civilians can't do that. It's close to madness from us to give you your life easily."

Only then does Ellis scowl at the horn.

Smiling at it, Horn took it. I understand things differently.

"I'm not that much of a finished idea as a nobleman.

Since I was two years old, I had decided to sacrifice myself, so as a nobleman, I was free to have only a minimal education.

If I had been raised as a proud nobleman, I think I would have been gladly sacrificed to be able to use my life for my country. Perhaps someone tried to keep him alive, but he could have turned him down angrily.

Well, to the extent that the country is unshakeable when it comes to national importance, conservative and everywhere self-interest is a noble side. "

"I knew it was a hard world to understand."

"I don't think I need to understand.

Shall we get back to it?

You want me to get in touch with you?

"Yes."

"I don't mind that, but I wonder how I'll tell you.

I don't really want to go to the mansion. Just delivering the letter could also be judged a prank "

"Oh, and keep the Korske thing a secret.

Because the title of Dragon Killer is too big. "

"If you find out the dragon killer has appeared, the nobles will make a scene to use it.

Koske doesn't know how to deal with nobility, so he's likely to be used as good.

Koske, would you rather have a valve?

"It's just impossible when you ask me if I can cross with a great man.

What's the response I can come up with right now... are we gonna get busted? And enough to threaten. "

This response is often not detached. Even Kosuke today is capable of destroying the city, and as Ellis said he will learn how to fight and magic in the future, urban destruction will be possible.

If you break out on threatened aristocratic territory, you will be financially devastated.

"It might be effective, but in that case, we need to make sure they don't understand the act. If they see through, they could be threatened the other way around.

Just as you will also remember that you will turn your worst country against your enemies. "

"You just have to try not to see the nobles."

"It is. And then the big shoppers have connections to nobility, so be careful."

"Okay.

Nevertheless, I know how awesome the title of Dragon Killer is, but Dragon Killer itself is amazing. "

"Uh-huh. Only three of us, including you, in history."

Ellis makes the lives of the two dragon killers easy to hear.

The first dragon kill was five thousand years ago, followed by two thousand and two hundred years ago. Both are dragon killers by defeating the lower B- as dragon species.

This is the first time a superior dragon has been killed by a human being. When the nobles find out about this, they will see a move to take in Kosuke from all over.

"Five thousand years ago, I had a record."

"I don't think you have that old record."

Horn denies Yusuke's words that he feels impressed.

"If you don't have a record, I don't think I can tell you about the dragon killer?

"Why don't we just ask God if it's not on the record? I can hear more from a living witness. In fact, I have a book that was compiled after listening to me.

What I told you was a quote from that book. "

Yusuke's movements stopped.

"... God is real?

"Take it for granted.

Hmm? Maybe he wasn't over there?

"There is no evidence that myths and legacies remain, but they are real. I don't know how to talk about it.

If I told you there was a god, you'd question your sanity first. "

"If there is no God, how is the world made?

"They said it was a coincidence or a miracle.

I've been able to explain everything from before the world could be done without God. "

I can't believe it.

"Me too. I can't even imagine a world without God."

"Because the world is different, I feel like I'm going to be able to convince you with these words."

"So it might be easier to be convinced."

Approximately, we are. It would be better for both of them to think like this.

There is no point in thinking about God's non-existent world. Because I'm here. What would it be like to think about it, is it enough to be a play or a novel story?

"If there's a god, you can ask him how to go home.

Yusuke smiles when he comes up with a good thing.

In contrast, Ellis sweeps his neck aside.

"I don't know where I can see him.

We can talk without seeing each other, but the gift is rare. There is no owner in this world.

It's not possible to just listen to a voice, but it's a one-sided thing, not a conversation. "

"Church, is there a gathering of people who believe in God?

"Yes?

"If we go there, we're going to be able to talk?

God also cares about those who believe in Himself, so he asks.

"There's nothing for the gods to care about, just because humans believe on their own. Take precedence over the faithful over the creatures you like.

I've heard a lot about not giving a church person a trust, but someone else. "

"Well, I thought it was a good idea."

"I didn't think of a way to ask God. Whether you know how to return as you could see God.

It must be hard to see God. I thought you should keep your mouth shut when you think the struggle could be unpaid, sorry. "

"Was it possible that you didn't know? I thought I knew because I felt like God was omnipresent."

This would also be the difference between Kosuke and Ellis' perceptions.

The image of an amazing being who can do anything when it comes to God on Earth. Here, however, there are a number of practical examples in history that can often be far better than people, but not omnipotent.

"That's off the record. How was it to convey the safety of the horn and the death of the dragon?

You're sure I'm going to the Mansion, but I don't want to go. "

"I'll write you a letter. And then if you take the precious metals you've been given as evidence with you, you'll believe it."

"If the cause of death of the dragon is illness or accidental death. Leave no room for imagination, and you'll come to your own conclusion."

"Why don't people come out and think the dragon killer showed up?

"Don't come out, but don't you think the person you mentioned is unlikely, too?

I think the conclusion would be something like a whimsical Great Spirit killed or life expectancy. If you do, you'll be right on target and full of life. "

It is possible that a good fortune-teller would refer to the emergence of dragon killers. But Ellis is not worried about Yusuke. Because even if we can find out about the emergence, we can't even identify the individual. Human beings can't have that much precision fortune. I don't know. In what country, at best.

Even if someone asks Horn if he saw the dragon kill, there is no question if he testifies that Horn left before he could reach the dragon. In fact, horns and knights hear dragon screams as they ride in cages. He would decide then that he had been defeated and would think that it was not long before Horn arrived at the altar to discover the dragon's body.

"In the meantime, I was wondering if you'd go to the mountains tomorrow to see where the bodies are. Suppose I finally magically tap you into one shot?

When you get to the mansion, tell the Counts where the bodies are and you'll be on your way to find out. "

The three of us who decided on a policy from tomorrow kill time with a little chat. The topic is the world of Kosuke, and the horns are many times surprised by the difference from this one. And Yusuke and Horn are urged by Ellis to go to bed early.

Ellis, who remained alone, took out the liquor he had kept, and celebrated the safety of the horn and the death of the dragon by himself.

Ellis, who had not had a good drink in a long time, snuggled into bed in a good mood.
