Chapter 8: His departure

ーChapter 1 Ends

—————————

7th day of the seventh month, my birthday

I turned 10 years old

And&h.e.l.lip;

「Akatsuki, I will die tomorrow.

I have something to tell you」

「What is it, old man?」

「There’s a rank SSS+ dungeon in this country’s northeast named 『Mythology Forest』」

「Why is such a place there?」

「There are different monsters there.

I also went there and met 『Those Guys』&h.e.l.lip;」

「Those Guys?」

「A dragon.

The name is 『Black Dragon Iskandar』.

That guy seems to be looking for a master to serve.

That’s why, I want you to be that guy’s master.

It was impossible for me

And there was a guy who was with Iskandar.

It’s name was 『Wolf G.o.d Arc』.

I want you to be it’s master too」

「I’m okay with it, but&h.e.l.lip;」

「Also, Akatsuki, when will you depart?」

「After Old man dies」

「Then, I will also hand you this」

Then old man took this world’s money out of his item box

「Money?」

「That’s right.

That’s totalling 1 Billion.

Use it systematically」

「Got it」

The next day, Old man died.

The village chief held a funeral till the day ended.

When I came here, I was in their care.

I didn’t cry, but I was sad as expected.

「Well, then, I’ll be going」

I spoke to the house where no one is in

I felt sad that I was becoming teary, but I steeled myself

Now, should we go?

The destination is 『The eastern frontier’s town Talca』
