One hour after that .

After we finished searching the area where the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon had been, we returned to Boguinea .

Ultimately, there had only been the one other Blue Lesser Fire Dragon . Still, it was said that it often took years for one to be killed, and yet we had killed two in one day . So I couldn’t complain .

“…We’ve gathered quite a lot . ”

I said as I looked into my bag of Lesser Fire Dragon gemstones .

As we had stored their entire bodies, I had taken out the gemstones alone and put them into this bag just before leaving .

There were 287 normal gemstones and 2 from the Blue Lesser Fire Dragons .

The ones from the Blue Lesser Fire Dragons were blue, just like the monsters .

‘Yes!’

‘We killed so many of them!’

We talked about it as we headed for the guild .

I wanted to have the armor finished as soon as possible, but it seemed like a good idea to complete the quests first .

I entered the guild, and thankfully, there were no other Adventurers in there besides me .

Maybe this wasn’t the time that most normal Adventurers returned .

It would be good to finish everything before they came back .

“I’d like to report the completion of some quests… All of these . ”

I said as I put the stack of paper on the counter .

They were all for hunting Lesser Fire Dragons .

“Y-you…did all of them!?”

“Yeah . …At least, I think I did . Could you check them?”

I asked her and then watched her go through them .

The guild had a special system in place that allowed them to confirm whether or not a quest had actually been completed .

“You…you really did complete them!”

She said in surprise as she looked at the crystal ball on the counter .

I didn’t know how it worked, but apparently, it was able to tell .

It was quite useful, given that it processed so many quests at once .

“Would you mind me asking…what method did you use?”

“I used my slimes to carry the water . ”

…It wasn’t exactly a lie .

After all, I was using Magic Transfer to carry water for Water Discharge to the slimes .

“With the slimes… I have only ever seen novice Tamers bring them to a fight… Are slimes well equipped to take on Lesser Fire Dragons?”

“…Well, my slimes are a little different . It might be harder if you had normal slimes . ”

I denied her words while petting the slime .

…I would feel bad if someone tried to fight a Lesser Fire Dragon without Water Discharge . The slimes would just end up being evaporated .

“Special slimes… I was wondering why it was so big . But I suppose it’s because your slime is special!”

“Yeah . ”

We chatted a little until the quest completion process was finished .

According to the quests, I was to hunt 202 of them—so the reward money amounted to 50 million cicols .

That meant 250,000 per dragon .

And at the guild, they bought 1 gemstone for 50,000 cicols .

It seemed pretty high for a D-Rank monster .

Besides, you were able to accept these quests at F-Rank .

“Aren’t Lesser Fire Dragons D-Rank? Why is the rewards money so high?”

“Ah, that . The reason that it is so high, is because Lesser Fire Dragons are very harmful . ”

“Harmful?”

They seemed like monsters that were really good for gathering materials to me… What did she mean by harmful?

“Yes . …They cause volcanic eruptions and burn villages . Sometimes, they destroy entire fields . That’s why there are so many hunting requests . Though, not many people want to accept them…”

I see .

So Lesser Fire Dragons were pests .

And they needed to be exterminated .

“There is another reason that the reward is so high… It’s because hunting Lesser Fire Dragons usually requires a lot of people . ”

“Really?”

“After all, you need to carry a lot of water all the way to the hunting grounds… They usually just hire a lot of E-Rank and F-Rank Adventurers to do it . So there needs to be a high reward or they won’t be able to break even . ”

It sure seemed tough if you didn’t have water magic .

So that was why they allowed F-Rankers to take the quest .
