Chapter 63

‘Can you store this?’

I said to the slime while looking at the giant dragon corpse .

It was so big that it would surely be difficult to carry, but at the same time, I thought the materials from such a strong dragon could be useful .

At worst, I would just take what I could carry and leave the rest…

‘No problem!’

The slime said . And with that, the dragon’s entire body was swallowed up by the slime .

In spite of having something hundreds of times larger than it inside, the slime looked exactly the same size as before .

‘You guys are amazing…’

How did this slime storage even work?

Was it hyper-s.p.a.ce?

…Well, as long as it’s useful .

‘Alright, let’s go back . ’

‘Yes!’

One hour later .

We escaped the forest on the Proud Wolf’s back and arrived back at the city gates safely .

“Yuji, eh? What were you doing outside of the city?”

Unusually, a guild worker was standing in front of the gate .

There was a sign up that read ‘traffic restriction . ’

It seemed like they were restricting who could go in and out .

“I wanted to get some exercise . ”

…I wasn’t lying .

Thanks to killing the dragon, my status had gone up quite a lot .

———————————————————————————

My maximum HP had gone up from 1900 to 2636 and my MP has raised by about 1700 as well .

…Though, my actual numbers were low and I was very close to death .

“Surely you don’t have to go out at a time like this? You know what’s going on, don’t you?”

“You mean this dragon business?”

“Aye . It’s because of it that the gates are now restricted and entry into the forest is now forbidden . It will be a great tragedy if someone provoked the dragon and it started attacking . ”

…I didn’t know about that .

In any case, it seemed that it might be a good idea to keep quiet about sneaking out and killing the ‘Blue Dragon of Delight . ’

But it would also be sad to allow the guild to waste time forming a hunting party, so perhaps I could just make it look like the dragon had disappeared .

As I had collected the body, no one would find out even if the matter was investigated later .

“No one told me about any restrictions . I went out about two hours ago . Was it done during that time?”

“We closed the gates an hour ago . …Well, at least you are safe . Now, come back inside . ”

“Yeah . ”

I said as I went through the crack in the gate that had opened .

I was headed for… the guild, first .

As they did not know of the disappearance of the dragon, I would have to inform them .

They would waste so much time and effort otherwise .

It was with such thoughts that I entered the guild, but…

The manager was already there, waiting for me .

He opened his mouth as soon as I entered .

“Yuji . Did you just come back from the Delight Forest?”

“No, I was just training in a forest close to the city . When I came back, the gates were closed and I had no idea what was happening . ”

“I see… But did you notice anything strange while you were training? We’re currently thinking about sending a scouting party to the Delight Forest . ”

The manager was practically interrogating me .

…I pretended to be ignorant .

If I told them that I had snuck out and killed the dragon, it would result in more trouble than it was worth .

“Scouting party? Did something happen?”

“According to Father Shtyle, the dragon is already dead . And we have already confirmed that the sky has brightened again . ”

So they already knew about the dragon .

Father Shtyle really was mysterious…

Was this also the power of ‘Revelation’?

…Now that I think about, Revelation and Heaven Strike seem kind of similar .

Are both skills related to G.o.d perhaps?

“Why does Father Shtyle think the dragon is dead?”

“He says that G.o.d told him . …Also, he said that he will leave this city . ”

“Leave?”

Father Shtyle had lived here for over 10 years .

His sudden departure was a big deal . It wasn’t the same as when some Adventurer like me left .

If there was a reason…

“Another revelation?”

“Exactly . I asked him where he was going, but he would not tell me . ”

…This timing . And without telling anyone his destination .

It seemed very odd, but maybe it was true that Father Shtyle had only been here in order to give me the short sword .

If that was true, I was curious as to where he would go next…

But if he didn’t tell them where he was going, he probably wouldn’t tell me either .

In any case, my main priority now was to deal with this dragon business .

“That sure is a useful skill . …So, about the dragon being dead . Do you know who did it?”

“We don’t . I don’t know anyone who would be capable of killing such a thing . …Though, I do know of one person who has a power that I don’t fully grasp . ”

He said before giving me a hard stare .

…He suspected me .

“I’m just a Scout . My Tamer skills are just a small bonus . I can’t kill a dragon . …But I could join your scouting party if you want?”

“…No, that’s fine . We already finished a.s.sembling the party and they are preparing to leave . ”

“I see . ”

If the guild was going to move this quickly, there was no need for me to tell them anything about the dragon .

After all, they would still send the scouts to go and confirm it .

With that decided, I tried to move away from the manager…but he opened his mouth .

“It’s the guild’s job to deal with danger . You should rely on the guild if you ever need anything . …For instance, ‘I want to kill a dragon alone, but with your support . ’ Etcetera . ”

“And why would I say something like that?”

“Who knows . ”

He said . Then he disappeared to the back of the guild .

I didn’t know how much he knew . Should I really consider myself undiscovered?

…In any case, I felt that it would be best to leave this city soon .

The guild surely had their eyes on me now, and things could get troublesome .

Considering what happened with the Earth Dragon, I would have likely been given a reward and a rank promotion had I come out as the killer of the dragon .

But in exchange, the guild would recognize that I was the guy who could kill powerful dragons .

I wanted to avoid that .

Besides, it was all a bit of a coincidence . The dragon had not seen us as enemies and then I just happened to gain a mysterious skill called Heaven Strike . That was how I was able to kill it .

If a similar dragon appeared in the future, I was not confident I would be able to meet their expectations .

As I was finished, I left the guild . It was then that I saw Tina and Lisa walking .

They saw me too and approached me .

“Yuji . Did you come to join the dragon hunting party too?”

Apparently, they had come to partic.i.p.ate in the dragon-slaying .

…Which was pointless now .

“No . I think that is going to be canceled . There is no dragon, after all . ”

“No dragon?”

“Not even a trace . The guild is going to send out a scouting party, but I’m sure the hunt will be canceled once they return . ”

Tina looked relieved when she heard this .

Yes, no one actually looked forward to fighting a dragon .

“Then Yuji, why did you come to the guild?”
