Welcome to the Monsters’ Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"My name is Rise-Tamer and I am the owner of this Monsters Delivery."

Having guided the Saints looking for Rise, Rise finally reveals himself to be Rise himself.

"Hey..."

I didn't realize I was being guided by the person I was looking for. Edill and the Saint Knights stare at him with a stunned look.

"So, Holy Knights, what the hell can I do for you?

It is this statement while asking why they came to this town in an earlier conversation.

"Sa, I told you earlier! We are here to offer you a false report that the devil has appeared!

Because they were doing well earlier, Edill and the others were unable to compete successfully with Rise with their anger.

If human anger rises too high, it will not be able to speak well.

"Well, you think I lied? Any proof of that?

When he asks for proof that Rise made a false report, Edil correctly breathes and explains why.

"It's easy. There's no reason for demons to show up early. Besides, I thought you said the demon was defeated by your manipulative dragon and Lizardman. There's no way the devil can defeat every Lizardman! Demons are evil gods who defy God. Our heavily trained saints are the spirits of terrible evil who can finally be defeated by careful preparation!

……

Rise listens to their words with a delicate face.

(Ah, evil spirits! I don't know if there's such a theatrical line right now!

Though in my heart it seems to be about to explode.

"And only the Holy Knight, chosen by our God, will be given a holy weapon of divine power over God in recognition of the fruits of his demanding training! Like this sword!

That's how Edil pulls out the sword he was equipped with on his hips.

Suddenly the guests, who were close to Edil, screamed away.

"Behold, the glow of this sword! This is the glow of the holy sword that only a man chosen by God can possess!

Edil was right, his slender sword sparkled with a strange light purple glow.

It is indeed a strange glow that is not seen with a normal iron sword.

"Hehe, you don't even seem to have a voice in the divinity of my sword"

Edil thinks that he is in awe of God's glory at the appearance of Rise, who is silent and silent.

(That's Mithril's weapon. Wow, it's precious to be precious, but there are quite a few guys who have Mithril's weapons if they're mercenaries or knights with a lot of money)

Mithril is a magical metal wrapped in magic.

The Mithril weapon used its specialty to increase sharpness and hardness by consuming the user's magic power.

For this reason, it was treasured as a trump card for the effective use of magic that is not used by warriors who cannot use magic.

(There are no scratchy wounds on the body, it looks like new)

Seeing Edill's Mithrill Sword, Rise was sure that Edill and the others had no real experience in action from the state of the sword.

(Are these guys really holy knights? No, even if I have a full plate of armor and a misrill gear. I don't think you're the only cheater. There's no reason to target me if I'm a real fraud. Then either the demon appearance report was not trusted or sent in for reconnaissance purposes of whether it was real or not?

Rise tentatively recognized them as scouts to the appearance of Edill with a full smile on his face and a Mithrill sword.

"Sir, stop swinging blades at reception. It will be inconvenient for other customers."

"also, my apologies, uh... Miss Dry Ads"

Easily scolded by dry ads, Edil makes a peculiar apology.

Apparently, she's vulnerable to beauty.

"As long as it's done, I understand what you're saying. So let's just ask the Lizardman himself, who actually stabbed the demon to a stop."

Here, Rise decides to summon Zeldo, the leader of Lizardman, who participated in the demonic exorcism.

◇

"My Lord, are you calling me?

Zeld came to the office in long mode.

That's how he carried a barrel with a back shoulder strap.

"I'm sorry I called you at work."

"No, it's just the end of the fishing line."

That's how Zeld puts the barrel he was carrying on the floor.

Among them were massive amounts of fish that had been caught in the river swimming.

Apparently, he drew water from the river and carried it alive.

"Oh, that's fresh."

Rise gives a joyous voice when he sees a barrel full of live fish.

"Fish are the freshest. We'll take it to the market later."

Zeldo, who became Rise's squire, fished on the Wieus River.

He sold the fish he picked in the river on the market in the town, in addition to the rewards he paid for Rise.

"So, what brings you to me?

"Yeah, they want to ask you something."

That's what I'm going to say. I'm going to introduce you to Edill and the others. Rise.

"It's Zeld. He is the head of Lizardman in the marsh of Jujiki. Now I am giving back as Lord Rise's obedient demon."

Word to Zeld, the Holy Knights also fix their standings and respond.

"Lizardman that you defeated the devil?

But Zeld gives Edil that word a resentmanly look of discomfort.

Most importantly, Edill and the others, who were multi-ethnic, were unable to understand the expression of bitterness.

"I didn't knock you down. I'm a dragon."

Zeld, who didn't think he had defeated the devil on his own, honestly replied that it was a dragon's handle.

"Oh, dragon."

But Edil smiled with a niggered smile at the answer.

"What are you laughing at?

Zeld showing discomfort with Edil's attitude.

"Nah, I feel sorry for you, Lizardman."

"What is it?

Edil began the conversation with an uncomfortable smile against Zeld.

"You say you defeated the devil with the help of a dragon, but was Sole really the devil in the first place?

"What?"

Zeld unwittingly listens back, unable to grasp Edil's sincerity.

"Let me assure you. The sole you fought for is not a demon. And the dragon that you helped me with is a bright red thing too!

Bishi! Ever. Edil pokes his index finger at Zeld.

But what did Zeld say to Edil, who was confident, look at him in the face?

The Rises made him understand Zeldo's inner confusion despite his different races.

"Demons are not the kind of people who can defeat Lizardman by nature! And we're talking about this man following a dragon, but he's an evil, mighty demon hostile to humans in the first place! There's no way you can follow a vulgar demon like this man!! You were fooled by this man's peten!

……

Rise sends a signal to keep his index finger on his mouth against Zeld, who says what he is.

"It must have been a very strong demon that attacked you, but there is no reason why the demon should bother attacking Lizardman. Perhaps the man prepared it for you to obey the Lizard Man!

"Ni, you say it's a fake thing!?"

Zeld couldn't hide his surprise in this either.

The Lizardman warriors became a bunch and said they couldn't defeat each other.

"The man falsely possessed a large lizard demon of his own use as a dragon, and demonized you and your Lizardmans in order to take control of the herd!

Edil said it was a magnificent match pump by Rise.

There were no words for Zeldo either.

When people say that they have experienced enough battles to be ready to die, they say that they have been attacked by a nickname, and so on, because there is an obvious contradiction in its content.

"Ma, wait! Then Lord Rise will have murdered his own demons in order to take control of our Lizardman."

"Yes, because the sole can efficiently control the Lizardman herd."

"No, it would only be a loss to kill the person who drove our Lizardman to the brink of total annihilation and get us."

"…… What?

Zeld tells Edil about his perceived contradiction.

"The demons that attacked us killed all the Lizardman warriors in the war in one place, and didn't even tooth the decisive attack of our young warriors who went to the last battle. If you're using such a powerful demon, you won't have to bother letting me stab you to death. You're stronger than all of our swamp clans in Jujiki!?"

……

Edil solidifies to the legitimacy of Zeld's allegations.

"Indeed."

"Normally, it's stronger to use that demon, and it won't cost you anything to eat."

The surrounding guests calmly affirm Zeld's words.

Edill's face stained red with the cold gaze of the people around her.

My men's holy knights look puzzled and horny.

"And there are many demons in the Lord's Hall that are stronger than our Lizardman. I don't think there's any reason to take control of us on purpose."

Even Zeld, who was told he had been deceived and obeyed, pointed out the inconsistencies in that theory, and Edil began to shudder with the pull.

"No matter how real that creature is, there is no doubt that we have been saved by the Lord. I have done all I can to repay the Lord."

Customers are impressed by Zeldo's demeanor.

"What a sworn word."

"It's brilliant to be so loyal to a subhuman."

"That man named Rise seems quite a masterpiece."

Ninglo Zeld and Rise's ratings have risen, resulting in the opposite of Edil's thoughts.

"Nu, gu..."

Edil bites his teeth remorsefully.

But he seems to have come up with something, and immediately smiled niggly.

"Fine, we don't care if the Lizardman is fooled. But the sin of making a false report that the devil has appeared will not go away. Your report tells me the Church is sending out a demonic exorcism unit. And because of that, we were trampled in vain. This falls into disrespect for the Church. You deceived the Supreme God! This is definitely a sin that must be punished!

Convinced that the appearance of the devil is false, Edil affirms that Rise is guilty.

"If it's the truth, bring your compliant dragons! It would be an inferior lizard demon anyway!?"

Edil had a chance. Because if we were heavily trained as saints, we were confident that no matter how strong we were, we wouldn't beat Nice's dragon.

Once Rise had brought out the Nisedragon, he stomped to prove that the dragon was a phony by defeating it lightly.

It was that moment when Edil was convinced of the victory.

It was from outside the office that Zudong and the vibrations rang.

"Hey, what the fuck!?"

Edill and the others stiffen themselves to vibrations like the magic of a massive attack.

"Oh, looks like the dragon's back. I'd like to introduce you to the dragon."

"Ugh, um?

(How many giants do you think the current vibration is the Nisedragon thing?!? Yes, no, don't be confused, it's the dragon of the artifact! What the fuck are you doing?

Shaking away the faint anxiety that arose there in his mind, Edill and the others headed under the dragon, which would be outside the office.

◇

……

Edill and the others had their necks up with their mouths open with poker.

"I've brought it, Lord."

"Good day, Dragon."

Rise swings the returning dragon.

And Edill and the others watching the dragon with their mouths open.

"Lord, what's so strange there?

The dragon opens its mouth and points to Edil and the others who are looking at themselves.

"Oh, these are the Holy Knights who came to complain about the demon apostles we defeated during this time. He said I cheated on Lizardman with the dragon."

"What?"

and that's where the disturbing air mixes with the voice of the dragon.

"Huh!?"

Edill's men, who immediately felt the air, shrugged back.

'I mean, are you trying to tell me that these people are my fake dragons?

Immediately Edil's men shook their heads with a boom.

Naturally. Even if the demon in front of you is a nickname, I don't think you can handle a giant demon a dozen or so people. Even the Holy Knights, who were skeptical of the existence of the dragon up to this point, understood with a tag of instinct and reason that this demon was beyond their control due to the simple issue of size.

However, there was only one person who refused to persuade instinct and reason.

"Heh, heh! Even if you can figure out the language, you're only a lizard! There's no way a dragon could be here!

Only Edil refused to understand Sole.

"" "Ca, Captain OOOOOOO!!!?" "

The Holy Knights scream in despair.

"You and others make my holy sword rust! Behold, this holy glow! There are so many evil demons you can't even look directly at!

Edil proudly pulled out his Mithrill sword and knocked it against the dragon.

It's like a scene where a hero of a story exorcises an evil demon.

However………

Pekki

When the dragon cleverly grabbed the Mithril sword with claws and claws, it twisted gently to the side and snapped.

……

Edil sees a cross section of the Mithril sword with his neck tilted as to what happened.

And change the direction of the sword to look at it from various angles.

Edil looking at the broken sword cross section again.

And a few seconds later.

"Broken ahhh!?"

Edil, finally recognizing reality, exclaimed.

"Weird."

Pessi

Making a very casual noise, Edil was blown away by the sky.

"Ca, Captain Ohhhh!!"

The holy knights run after Edil as he screams.

But they ran away with a heartily reassuring look that this was a good excuse to escape the scene.

"My men were better off. I'd love to see them."

"What was that? Where are you?

He asks as the dragon rubs his forefoot against the ground.

The appearance gave me the communal impression that I was wiping my hands when I touched something dirty.

"Well, is that the only idiot?

Thus, the first encounter between Rise and Edil the Holy Knight came to an end.
