Chapter 40

After the incident with the monster outbreak from the cursed stone was resolved, the town was peace itself . There was no followup attack from the Blue Moon of Salvation, and life was returning to how it once was .

On the other hand, there was one problem that arose for me .

That was…

“Ah, it’s Yuji!”

“Dragonslayer!”

“Yuji! Where’s the princess?”

They treated me like a hero .

The rumor that I had replicated the fires of a dragon with h.e.l.lfire of Death and burned all of the monsters had now spread to all corners of the small town .

Not only that, but the story had expanded . People were starting to say that I had killed a herd of dragons by myself or that I had saved a princess that was being attacked .

The dragons were one thing, but where did this talk of a princess come from?

The result was that I was undeservedly treated like a Hero .

The Adventurers acted the same around me, but the people of the town(especially the children) now saw me differently . They even tried to give my slimes food, which made me quite uncomfortable .

…And so…

“Can you tell me of a town where it would be easy to work as an Adventurer?”

I asked the guild manager the next time I saw him .

Yes . I was going to move to a different town .

Thankfully, it seemed that the rumors had only spread inside of this town .

Additionally, this Adventurers guild did not get many requests, and so it was not suited to an active Adventurers life .

And so I wanted to go to a town that was more suited to being an Adventurer .

“I had a feeling you might . But are you sure?”

The manager asked after hearing my question .

“You could tell?”

“Aye . While they don’t mean any harm by treating you as a hero, it cannot feel good to hear so much noise every time you step out into town . …I understand the thing about the dragon, because of the bones, but what about this princess?”

“Don’t ask me . Ask whoever started it . ”

“…I guessed as much . So, I understand that you are moving, but what kind of town do you want to go to?”

“Yes…a town with a lot of quests would be good . But a place where the monsters are still weak . ”

The manager heard this and thought for a while .

Then he opened his mouth .

“If you want lots of quests, it will have to be a big town . What about Kiria?”

“Kiria?”

“Aye . It is about fifty kilometers away from here . A rather large town . The monsters would be weak for you and there should be plenty of quests . ’

I see .

Weak monsters and lots of quests . That was ideal .

I guess I would head to that town for now .

“Thank you . I will make that my first destination then . ”

“I should be thanking you . This town would have been a ruin by now if it weren’t for you, Yuji . ”

And like that, my destination was decided .

…A few hours later .

After saying goodbye to the Adventurers, I used concealment magic in order to leave through the gates without creating a scene .

“Alright, I’m counting on you . ”

“Understood!”

It was about fifty kilometers to Kiria .

I should be able to arrive within the day if I rode on the Proud Wolf .

This was how our roles were a.s.signed:

The Proud Wolf would run .

I would read the map .

The slimes would cheer him on .

“Which way should I go?”

“Turn to the right . ”

“You can do it! Proud Wolf!”

…Like that, we continued on our way .

And then the town finally came into view…

“…It’s kind of intimidating…”

“It looks strong!”

We were talking about the town’s defenses .

The outer walls were thick and there was a giant gate made of steel bars . There were even cannons on the parapets .

…Well, it was supposed to be a big town .

Perhaps this degree of protection was to be expected .

But then again, I hadn’t seen any other large towns to compare it with .

“I guess we should go inside then . ”

“Okay . ”

“Understood!”

And with that, we entered into Kiria .

It was supposed to be a town with many quests, so I hoped there would be some that paid well and were still safe .
