The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

Back to normal life, Fantim and Charlier were better too.

Fantim had traveled once and was able to fight enough when it came to combat.

Charlier also had only spoken beforehand and had the ability to fight to the extent of a novice adventurer.

That's why they were encouraging the demonic crusade as they accompanied Sinanis and Marius.

... The Cenanis have also raised their arms considerably these days.

His reputation in town had also grown, and now they too were so named as good adventurers.

The more Sinanis can accomplish enough of the requests sent to the town's guild.

I'm taking a trip to the cranhouse today. Enter the Cranhouse as he greets Seinlia and Sein, who were round in the adjacent open space and resting on their bodies.

It was Lar fans who looked back at me as I entered the room.

"Mr. Rude, I need to talk to you"

"What's wrong?"

"... me, I just wanted to get back to my hometown"

"Homecoming?"

"... yeah"

"Then nothing, I don't mind. … have you spoken to the Sinanis?"

"The Sinanis are fine, too."

Already they will be taking the Fantims outside.

It's just that Larfan still has something to do with it. The proud tail, too, is shivering somewhere anxiously.

"So, Mr. Rude. With me, I want you to follow me."

She opened her mouth as she had decided.

It was unexpected. It was a question of why it was me.

... let me see the clan leader, or is it her family talking?

"Going is fine in itself, is there a reason?"

"... the place where we dragons live is called Inside the Dragon, dedicated to the One Dragon."

"... Sure, you've heard there's such a thing in there"

I've never been inside, but I knew there was a place like that.

"Going to meet the dragon there is called the test of dragonization... the dragon clan who survived the journey will meet the dragon who is worshipping him and give him the power of dragonization"

"... dragonization, huh? Isn't that what you were born for?"

"By taking the test of dragonization, the Dragons will finally be able to use their power."

"I see... so Larfan is going to take it too"

Dragonization, huh?

I've only partied once with dragon people. It was firmly engraved in my memory that just activating dragonization increased my combat ability considerably.

But Larfan's expression was rude.

"... I have failed that trial before. So now I want it to succeed. There's only one partner I can pick to take to that place... I'd like to ask Mr. Rude"

"... I see"

The situation was understandable. Is that why you invited me?

Good. I thought you even got a call from her family.

The Dragons seem to have something like a rule in them, too.

"You used to say you failed. … is it that hard?"

To my words, she was moving her mouth unspeakably.

Would it have been better not to ask? If you can't talk, I just tried to say I don't mind, and I gave her a face along with her eyes that cemented her determination.

"The trials of dragonization are taken where they grow up, and not so much, no one fails. It's just... I... the... the place of the trials is a dark cave, and there are demons of the undead species... So I failed."

I see.

By then, you don't like skeletons anymore, you mean you couldn't break through.

"So I failed... and couldn't live up to everyone's expectations... and I walked out of there and became an adventurer"

"... now you can break through, right?"

She tied her lips tight and then consolidated her fist.

"Yeah, let me handle it. Well, I'm just asking Mr. Rude to follow me. That favor, can you?"

I shook my head vertically in Larfan's anxious eyes.

"Oh. I'll take care of it. I'll do anything I can."

"... thanks. When will I be able to go, Mr. Rudd?"

"You can leave tomorrow. If you ask Seinlia to take you there, you'll have no problem getting around."

"... well. Then we'll leave tomorrow, and it won't take all day?"

"Where is the place?"

Bring the map to confirm.

It's southeast.

From what I've seen on the map, the true opposite of Pockin Village but not so different in distance. Instead of a day, you'll be able to travel in half a day.

The meeting ended there and Larfan exhaled as relieved.

"What, were you nervous?"

"Yeah, well, you know,"

"If you have any problems, feel free to talk to me.... Oh, maybe I'm a little hard to talk to...?"

I'm going to create an atmosphere that is as easy to talk to as I can... would I have failed.

Larfan blushed his neck and tail.

"Oh, that's not true. Rather, I'm harder to talk to. Well, I was embarrassed."

"I hope so.... because we're going to have more friends. I want to make sure they don't tell me I'm scared or anything."

You can't be licked, but that's not why you're scared.

I wanted to have as much fun clan as I could.

"It's okay. Mr. Rudd, if you talk to him, he'll be nice."

"Why don't we talk?"

"See you tomorrow, then"

"Oh, man. What do you mean..."

Laughing to tease, Larfan left Cranhouse.

... Am I scared? One person in shock, Luna came.

I should have gone to the guild and confirmed the request.

"Master, are you going on another journey?"

"Oh. It's a consultation of the clan members. Was there a problem with the Alliance?"

"No, I'm fine. Be careful."

"Oh, I got it. If you have a job you need to clean up before you go, just tell me."

"That's okay, so far"

Do your hand on your jaw as Luna recalls. Good for you.

"Luna. I want to hear one thing"

"Hey, what is it?"

Staring into her eyes, Luna let her gaze wander a little confused.

"... Are you scared of my face when I'm a clan leader?"

"... Are you the master? Cool, huh?"

"Oh well. Well, isn't it intimidating?"

"... Sure, maybe a little. When you're sitting in a chair and watching a newspaper or something, you're like a skilled adventurer."

... Oh, really?

I fall off my shoulder by myself.

Indeed, I feel that when I was alone, I meant faceless, or often at the top of the Buddha.

Shall we be careful around here from now on?

I sit back in my seat and put my arms together.

The Trial of Dragonization, huh?

I want to take my gear solid.... I've just broken my previous weapon, and the one I'm wearing right now is two of those swords I bought at Mr. Rayzil's store.

... Well, you wouldn't have a problem with it normally, but you'd better be prepared to break it if you were to use 'life conversion' with maximum power.

And then, using your skills for the Great Shield would be one means.

It's just... if this one gets frightened during the fight, my job as a tank could stop working.

... then a sword that can be used as disposable is better.

When this happens, don't make me want to keep more than one sword in my possession.

"Ludo, he's back."

"Mr. Rude! I've defeated the Goblin Leader near town!"

Fantime and Charlier are the ones who have rushed to the cranhouse well.

He's giving a big salute in front of me. Each other's clothes have blood on them.

It was Sinanis who came late. Looks like he was taking the two of us alone today.

"Rude, the goblin leader was close by. What's going on?"

"... Sure, you're a demon I don't usually see. Report to the Alliance. Probably do the research with the adventurers in town?"

"I guess. Probably, but that individual is the guy who's flown from the Sacred Capital. That's the only report I have. Hey, you guys! It's dirty, so wash your body properly!"

Sacred capital. I miss you.

It is called the Holy Capital because the Cathedral, the headquarters of the Church, is located.

Also, there's the Knights School, the city I used to live in.

"To Sinanis - honey, stay with me - come on!"

"Damn, that's a hassle."

Though that's good, I guess Sinanis goes in with him.

You can take care of it, Sinanis.

The tone is rough and Cinnanis, who often doesn't look good, but he is very helpful as long as he has time to take the new adventurers.

"... and speaking of which, Larfan, have you been here?"

"Oh, about the dragonization trials."

"He seemed pretty bothered, and you can take care of him. Leader."

That's all Cenanis left to say, leaving the clanhouse with Fantim and Charlier.

Trouble? It's also an act of confronting your past. He will also have anxiety.

... I want to do everything I can.
